Face it yourself, you are in denial. >>>By the way, if there were all of this damning material out there, why do you suppose that it is not universally acknowledged or used? There are plenty of people who would like to discredit Bush. Also, if Prescott were damnable as a Nazi sympathizer, how did he manage to get elected after the war?<<< You obviously didn't bother to read the chapter at all-- President Franklin Roosevelt's Alien Property Custodian, Leo T. Crowley, signed Vesting Order Number 248 seizing the property of Prescott Bush under the Trading with the Enemy Act. The order, published in obscure government record books and kept out of the news,@s4 explained nothing about the Nazis involved; only that the Union Banking Corporation was run for the `` Thyssen family '' of `` Germany and/or Hungary ''--`` nationals ... of a designated enemy country. '' and the footnote: 4. The New York Times on December 16, 1944, ran a five-paragraph page 25 article on actions of the New York State Banking Department. Only the last sentence refers to the Nazi bank, as follows: `` The Union Banking Corporation, 39 Broadway, New York, has received authority to change its principal place of business to 120 Broadway. '' The Times omitted the fact that the Union Banking Corporation had been seized by the government for trading with the enemy, and even the fact that 120 Broadway was the address of the government's Alien Property Custodian. An interested party would have had trouble at the time putting the story together at the time in 1942 with reporting omissions. Left to history interest fades. >>>If the family were a bunch of fascist sympathizers, why did George volunteer for the Navy at 17?<< For the same reason the two Kennedy boys volunteered...or be drafted. Remember Joe Kennedy's approach to Hitler? >>>If Averell Harriman were in collusion with the Nazis, why did he work for FDR, and help promote Lend- Lease? <<< Who had better experience in international trade of this kind? Do you honestly think prior collusion in a questionable/illegal/treasonous activity precludes the use of one talents in other areas? How naieve! Remember, FDR also appointed Joe Kennedy to the SEC after to Stock Market Crash of 1929 to clean up the violations and excesses he was no doubt guilty of himself. >>>Face it, you are peddling crap........<<< Face it, you are in denial or incredibly naieve.
