Re: "The earlier days of the Bush family are only slightly less colorful and obscured by myth. George Sr.¹s maternal grandfather, George Herbert ³Bert² Walker, was a powerful Wall Street financier and a major financial backer of Hitler¹s infant Nazi Party. He, apparently, was related to William Walker, the American Adventurer who set himself up as President of Nicaragua in 1855, imposed slavery and declared English the official language. While Walker planned to rule all of Central America, he was instead executed in 1860. The Bush¹s, however, reasserted themselves with a Marine invasion in 1912." >>> That explains the 'Herbert Walker' moniker (didn't know that colorful bit of family history)... and also the Contra fixation.....
