My exegesis on this story, responding to a Straight Dope article that
didn't go far enough, is at http://www.romm.org/prescott.html .
The situation is worse than you make it seem. In fact the Bush's,
starting with Bert Walker in 1924, had a very close relationship
with the Nazi party and Nazi Germany. Prescott has never fully
answered for his association, and Bert's association with the
Herrimans worked in his favor.
The relationship the Walker/Bush families had with the Nazis is
strikingly parallel to the relationship the Bush family has with the
bin Ladens today. And both are being covered up. The press is
finally realizing the emperor has no clothes. If Bush Sr. had dealt
with this, no one would accuse W. of anything. But the cover-up of
family sins is starting to rise above the radar for many. And this,
to me, is a good thing.

Good analogies weave their way through that can be precisely matched up to the policies developed by Karl Rove, just like we didn't elect George Bush, we didn't elect Rove to run our personal lives with his Machiavellian plans.
He studied Hitler well

especially interesting p. 17 the love of the bio genetic model-- apply it to GMO's to be used to give the WTO the power to override any plebiscite in the world. Next will be forced medical testing for US citizens to support their corporate bio genetic machine. All for profit, power and control. Rove's title Head of White House Political Operations and he is running our country Nazi style
a classic political science article He saw it ahead of most. www.commondreams.org/views03/0718-07.htm
' Given the horrific reality of what the GOP is now doing to America and
the world, we should be profoundly thankful that the public is uneasy.
If Team Bush objects to being compared with the Nazi elite, perhaps it
should act less like it.
' Too much sad history has been told over the centuries by those who
failed to speak plainly and forcefully when the times demanded it.
' What the Republicans are doing to America and the world has been seen
before. And, it's been stopped before, but only by facing reality. '
I certainly agree with you on "outing" the Bush administration for what
it is.
I also believe that nothing will be accomplished in the "war on
terrorism" unless the Likud is similarly "outed", for it is as similar
to the "Nazi elite" as the Bush administration is.
It is now fashionable to draw the parallels that Senator Byrd has drawn,
but the Likud is still protected by the "criticize Israel and you are an
anti-Semite and comparable to the Nazi elite" tonic.
But the Port of Miami is refusing us entry because John Ashcroft's Justice Department is prosecuting Greenpeace for a protest action last year. The New York Times has reported that this prosecution is "unusual and questionable." We intend to be exonerated.
Don't let the Port of Miami keep Greenpeace out and silence our voices. Contact the authorities in Miami and tell them that they should allow the Esperanza to dock in Miami!

And so it is in our public life -- the finger of fate writes, and having writ, moves on, leaving today's horrendous scandal back there with the snows of yesteryear, while we all focus on The Latest.
But there is one deception that will not go away. What happened to the weapons of mass destruction? "The intolerable reality is that they blatantly twisted intelligence information to fit preconceived policies," said Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif. "They lied to promote public relations, from the Jessica Lynch ordeal to the president's campaign landing on the USS Abraham Lincoln --- and about what war would cost our country."
"Before the war, week after week after week, we were told lie after lie after lie," said Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass.

The Senate Environment and Public Works Committee is debating legislation supported by the chemical industry that would make security guidelines at chemical facilities voluntary and could exempt parts of the industry from any regulation.
Please take a moment to ask your senators to oppose the industry-supported Senate Bill 994 and support amendments that would increase public accountability and close industry loopholes. Then, ask your family and friends to help by forwarding this e-mail to them.

On the same day, the Associated Press ran a national story linking Prescott Bush to Adolf Hitler. The lead read: "President Bush's grandfather was a director of a bank seized by the federal government because of its ties to a German industrialist who helped bankroll Adolf Hitler's rise to power, government documents show."
That night, CNN ran a "streamer" on the bottom of its all-news programming confirming that "declassified documents show Prescott Bush connections to Nazi finance."
Stories reminding the public that the grandfather of George W. Bush and his United Trust Bank were cited by the US government in 1942 for helping Hitler under the Trading With the Enemies Act, have now spread widely through the major meda.
What's going on here? Are these stories linking Team Bush to the Nazis irrelevant? Mere partisan politics? Or do they indicate a growing public concern with what is actually happening in Washington?
"It's agricultural asbestos!" That ripe phrase is how one British farmer described the menu of genetically modified (GM) crops being offered by Monsanto, a food biotechnology company in the United Kingdom. It became a rallying cry for farmers and environmentalists across Britain seeking to keep GM seeds out of English soil. For its part, Monsanto, and the Blair government, dismissed such charges as the ravings of Luddites. But now, a three-year study by British scientists, commissioned by Blair's own environment minister, Michael Meacher, reveals that the environmental risks of GM crops may be even greater than previously believed.
