I came across this article a few years ago while doing research for my book titled Shock and Awe on America. I was intrigued by the hard hitting article and today I present it to you, so the chain of Truth, Justice and "Payback is a Bitch" will not be broken...
John Loftus, is a former U.S. Department of Justice Nazi War Crimes prosecutor, the President of the Florida Holocaust Museum and the highly respected author of numerous books on the CIA-Nazi connection including The Belarus Secret and The Secret War Against the Jews, both of which have extensive material on the Bush-Rockefeller-Nazi connection.
For the Bush family, it is a lingering nightmare. For their Nazi clients, the Dutch connection was the mother of all money laundering schemes. From 1945 until 1949, one of the lengthiest and, it now appears, most futile interrogations of a Nazi war crimes suspect began in the American Zone of Occupied Germany. Multibillionaire steel magnate Fritz Thyssen-the man whose steel combine was the cold heart of the Nazi war machine-talked and talked and talked to a joint US-UK interrogation team. For four long years, successive teams of inquisitors tried to break Thyssen's simple claim to possess neither foreign bank accounts nor interests in foreign corporations, no assets that might lead to the missing billions in assets of the Third Reich. The inquisitors failed utterly.
Why? Because what the wily Thyssen deposed was, in a sense, true. What the Allied investigators never understood was that they were not asking Thyssen the right question. Thyssen did not need any foreign bank accounts because his family secretly owned an entire chain of banks. He did not have to transfer his Nazi assets at the end of World War II, all he had to do was transfer the ownership documents - stocks, bonds, deeds and trusts--from his bank in Berlin through his bank in Holland to his American friends in New York City: Prescott Bush and Herbert Walker. Thyssen's partners in crime were the father and father-in-law of a future President of the United States.
The allied investigators underestimated Thyssen's reach, his connections, his motives, and his means. The web of financial entities Thyssen helped create in the 1920's remained a mystery for the rest of the twentieth century, an almost perfectly hidden underground sewer pipeline for moving dirty money, money that bankrolled the post-war fortunes not only of the Thyssen industrial empire...but the Bush family as well. It was a secret Fritz Thyssen would take to his grave.
It was a secret that would lead former US intelligence agent William Gowen, now pushing 80, to the very doorstep of the Dutch royal family. The Gowens are no strangers to controversy or nobility. His father was one of President Roosevelt's diplomatic emissaries to Pope Pius XII, leading a futile attempt to persuade the Vatican to denounce Hitler's treatment of Jews. It was his son, William Gowen, who served in Rome after World War II as a Nazi hunter and investigator with the U.S. Army Counter Intelligence Corps. It was Agent Gowen who first discovered the secret Vatican Ratline for smuggling Nazis in 1949. It was also the same William Gowen who began to uncover the secret Dutch pipeline for smuggling Nazi money in 1999.
A half-century earlier, Fritz Thyssen was telling the allied investigators that he had no interest in foreign companies, that Hitler had turned on him and seized most of his property. His remaining assets were mostly in the Russian Occupied Zone of Germany (which he knew were a write-off anyway). His distant (and disliked) relatives in neutral nations like Holland were the actual owners of a substantial percentage of the remaining German industrial base. As innocent victims of the Third Reich, they were lobbying the allied occupation governments in Germany, demanding restitution of the property that had been seized from them by the Nazis.
Under the rules of the Allied occupation of Germany, all property owned by citizens of a neutral nation which had been seized by the Nazis had to be returned to the neutral citizens upon proper presentation of documents showing proof of ownership. Suddenly, all sorts of neutral parties, particularly in Holland, were claiming ownership of various pieces of the Thyssen empire. In his cell, Fritz Thyssen just smiled and waited to be released from prison while members of the Dutch royal family and the Dutch intelligence service reassembled his pre-war holdings for him.
The British and American interrogators may have gravely underestimated Thyssen but they nonetheless knew they were being lied to. Their suspicions focused on one Dutch Bank in particular, the Bank voor Handel en Scheepvaart, in Rotterdam. This bank did a lot of business with the Thyssens over the years. In 1923, as a favor to him, the Rotterdam bank loaned the money to build the very first Nazi party headquarters in Munich. But somehow the allied investigations kept going nowhere, the intelligence leads all seemed to dry up.
If the investigators realized that the US intelligence chief in postwar Germany, Allen Dulles, was also the Rotterdam bank's lawyer, they might have asked some very interesting questions. They did not know that Thyssen was Dulles' client as well. Nor did they ever realize that it was Allen Dulles's other client, Baron Kurt Von Schroeder who was the Nazi trustee for the Thyssen companies which now claimed to be owned by the Dutch. The Rotterdam Bank was at the heart of Dulles' cloaking scheme, and he guarded its secrets jealously.
Several decades after the war, investigative reporter Paul Manning, Edward R. Murrow's colleague, stumbled across the Thyssen interrogations in the US National Archives. Manning intended to write a book about Nazi money laundering. Manning's manuscript was a dagger at Allen Dulles' throat: his book specifically mentioned the Bank voor Handel en Scheepvaart by name, albeit in passing. Dulles volunteered to help the unsuspecting Manning with his manuscript, and sent him on a wild goose chase, searching for Martin Bormann in South America.
Without knowing that he had been deliberately sidetracked, Manning wrote a forward to his book personally thanking Allen Dulles for his "assurance that I was "on the right track, and should keep going.'"Dulles sent Manning and his manuscript off into the swamps of obscurity. The same "search for Martin Bormann"scam was also used to successfully discredit Ladislas Farago, another American journalist probing too far into the laundering of Nazi money. American investigators had to be sent anywhere but Holland.
And so the Dutch connection remained unexplored until 1994 when I published the book "The Secret War Against the Jews."As a matter of historical curiosity, I mentioned that Fritz Thyssen (and indirectly, the Nazi Party) had obtained their early financing from Brown Brothers Harriman, and its affiliate, the Union Banking Corporation. Union Bank, in turn, was the Bush family's holding company for a number of other entities, including the "Holland American Trading Company."
It was a matter of public record that the Bush holdings were seized by the US government after the Nazis overran Holland. In 1951, the Bush's reclaimed Union Bank from the US Alien Property Custodian, along with their "neutral" Dutch assets. I did not realize it, but I had stumbled across a very large piece of the missing Dutch connection. Bush's ownership of the Holland-American investment company was the missing link to Manning's earlier research in the Thyssen investigative files. In 1981, Manning had written:
"Thyssen's first step in a long dance of tax and currency frauds began [in the late 1930's] when he disposed of his shares in the Dutch Hollandische-Amerikanische Investment Corporation to be credited to the Bank voor Handel en Scheepvaart, N.V., Rotterdam, the bank founded in 1916 by August Thyssen Senior."
In this one obscure paragraph, in a little known book, Manning had unwittingly documented two intriguing points: 1) The Bush's Union Bank had apparently bought the same corporate stock that the Thyssens were selling as part of their Nazi money laundering, and 2) the Rotterdam Bank, far from being a neutral Dutch institution, was founded by Fritz Thyssen's father. In hindsight, Manning and I had uncovered different ends of the Dutch connection.

Teeluck's Note...Allen Dulles went on to become the Chief Advisor to Republican Nominee Thomas E. Dewey and later under President Eisenhower he was appointed the Director of the CIA. Under Dulles's direction, the CIA created MK-Ultra, a top secret mind control research project which was managed by Sidney Gottlieb. Dulles also personally oversaw Operation Mockingbird, a program which influenced American media companies as part of the "New Look".

Their opening salvo is thus...
How Bush's Grandfather Helped Hitler's Rise To Power
George Bush's grandfather, the late US senator Prescott Bush, was a director and shareholder of companies that profited from their involvement with the financial backers of Nazi Germany.
The Guardian has obtained confirmation from newly discovered files in the US National Archives that a firm of which Prescott Bush was a director was involved with the financial architects of Nazism.

The Battle Has Begun...
I have seen the underbelly of Corporate Media. It is now a different animal than it was 40 years ago. Someone told me yesterday that the “News” part of XXX News may last at best two more years before it is gone into the ether…and I will have to find another job, but that is beside the point. Over the last 10 years I have seen the changes happening in my own “Organisation” as the others…CNN, CBS, NBC, ABC etc…even Fox to some extent. The fact is they are all reducing their “News” aspect in exchange for “Infotainment”
This is the New World of reporting and it will spread Globally. I have seen News stories that people worked on for weeks get cut because of this or that Advertiser who wanted another story instead. That happens more than you know around election time. The surprising thing to most that the Right Wing has a bigger say than people realized is really the norm that has been happening over the last Decade, it’s just that most people in the public did not know it, but I and many others saw it develop over the years.
Ok, in this present day, this is the story…Most of the Media houses are really run by Conservative Executives who say what will Air and What wont. In my News house, it has always been the unspoken wink and nod knowledge that this is how things are run. We see the filtering out of the “real news” and the substituting of “slanted stories” by the boys “upstairs”. So do not expect any change or swing to the left, when it comes to real reporting and Journalism. The reality is that apart from the few who are on CNN and MSNBC, which amounts for 10% of Left leaning or unbiased reporting, the rest is just cloaked Right Wing Propaganda machines.
This phenomena has been increasing for decades…them getting the right wingers to run the Executive Boards at major Media Companies…and Wall St. too I might add, so the question and truth of the matter is…who will be the frontline of truth in the face of this 90% of Right wing media bias? The answer my friends is US. We the people who make up the Blogosphere. We are the new frontline and we need to become aware of it. I have seen and the proof that I am not mad is the fact that hundreds in my company (XXX NEWS) have also seen it.
Over the last two years they have been cleaning house and has offered buy-out packages to most of the news and related departments, including camera men, audio, technicians etc…who are the little guys, this has already been done to Producers, editors and the like, months ago. Many who are “kept” to run the operations are curiously in my opinion…”company men”…right wing white men obviously…a few right wing women too of course. The objective being to eventually get rid of the “News” operations departments altogether and just have a right wing media blanket over the whole country. There are not many of us left…over 1500 of us in the NY location have already been “bought out” ….fired in my opinion.
So yes, what you see is now what you get, there is almost no middle of the road reporting anymore…save for us, the new frontier…the frontline…bloggers for democracy…US. Lets take on the fight, because there is no one else to. As an after thought, please be aware that this is a real fight, and the right wing media will come after us with both barrels blasting…this is only the beginning of the war…and we are the enemy. You have all seen that they have been taking over the Media…Radio, TV, Electronic and printed for a long time now, well it is out in the open now…unfortunately we only have a 10% presence in the “White Man’s Media”…and they are beginning to push…hard, against us. They are going to come at us from all angles, they are buying up the Newspapers, Publishing Companies, and their online presence is massive and growing.
What we saw with Sherrod is only a reaction and reflection of what the White House already knows. The White House knows about this right wing media hold on the country and it is engrained in the executive boards of MOST companies. So yes they did try to get a jump on the issue and someone decided to have her fired, but the story is much bigger and runs deeper than that unfortunately.
They have the White House on edge, as well they should be, because the stakes are high, and the country as we knew it…not know it…hangs in the balance. So prepare yourselves my blogger friends…we are no cowards and we have a fight at hand…lets take them on! I say FUCK EM!

The Death Of Arizona.
I saw something on CNN yesterday, July 22 2010 which showed an ugly side of the Arizona Immigration battle that many do not know. Mesa Arizona is dying and the effect is spreading outward, because the life blood is seeping away...Mesa is being bled dry. Since the Immigration debacle started, it is estimated that over 100,000 undocumented persons have left Mesa, and right after, the documented business owners and even people born in America, started to leave as well. They could not stay because their businesses dried up.
The Immigration Activists first jumped for joy... Yeah! Bring on SB 1070!! just before they realized that they have shot themselves in the foot...the lost revenues from these undocumented persons are resulting in closed businesses. That is a great thing for some Activists...though they can't tell you why it is a good thing for Mesa Arizona because it is just turning the affected areas into wastelands. Yes they do not have an undocumented person in their eyesights, instead they have dozens of shuttered businesses that are or were owned by White Legal Americans and Colored Legal Americans. The only company the Activists now see around them, to share these sparse expanses of closed malls are...rats, mice, and roaches. Some of the malls are only missing the large tumble weeds to complete the stark picture. As the Activists pursue their checkered bounty of ridding the state of "Vermin" as the undocumented persons are sometimes referred to, they are being replaced by real Vermin...isn't that funny.
While all of this is going on, the state is forced further down the abyss of unemployment as "real" Americans are losing their base of customers who bought their various products...an agreement between vendor and customer which resulted in the ability for them both to keep their heads above the financial waters, is gone. The loss of business means many business owners and the businesses that they in turn supported, retail and wholesale businesses, Car Dealerships, Furniture stores, Jewelry Stores, Food Stores, Hardware Stores, Clothing Stores, Supermarkets, Delis, Tire Shops, Carpet Stores and many more, are now breaking down and will remain broken and the areas they are located in are crumbling.
One thinks that if the Activists want this...then so be it, let them have it...but, I ask "At what Price?"
Even after they started to sabotage themselves and their communities with their "American" ambitions, they still complain that the "Colored" man in the White House is not doing the right things to help the unemployment situation in Arizona...a situation they are doing their best to increase. Immigration Activists are willingly stifling their communities for whatever reasons they support the laws they are trying to put forward, but it is apparent that the ultimate cost is the foolish demise of once great and productive communities, which in turn supported the other surrounding communities, so the destitution is and will continue to spread to neighboring areas. I know these Activists hold dear the important reasons why they are willingly stifling their communities and by extension, Arizona state, and I congratulate them on having such noble and sensible reasons, really I do.
Congratulations to you dear Activists, just don't call me when you go on unemployment and please don't accept my taxpayer monies when you lose your jobs as a result of your important reasons. OH and one other thing...stay in Arizona, we don't want any of you smart Immigration Activist people anywhere in our states. You are happy to Bankrupt your own state, goody for you...stay away from our states...there are "Brown" people here too...and they are productive members of our communities who pay sales taxes on everything they purchase and would love to pay income taxes if allowed.

America Dumbing Down?
What does author Ashley Merryman, Harvard Musicologist Aaron Berkowitz and Two term President of The National Academy of Sciences and Editor-in-chief of Science Magazine Bruce Alberts have in common? They were all found in one place at one time…the place being The Charlie Rose Show, the time was July 15 2010. They were all there, along with Charlie, to discuss the declining state of American education.
Ashley told us of a Mr. Johnathan Plucker who, while in China discussing the differences between the American and Chinese education systems and approaches to teaching, spoke about our turning away from our traditional curriculum and methods of teaching and the embracing of the new “No child left behind” method. He explained this in some detail and when his words were translated into Chinese, he was indeed surprised and confused when everyone started laughing at what he said. When he inquired as to why they were all laughing, he was told that America is adopting the old Chinese methods of teaching while they are vigorously pursuing the old and traditional ways of American teaching.
This old American method being the art of using Divergent and Convergent thinking, letting the students gather “tactile” experience by actually taking learned knowledge and applying it in the field, thereby using the challenges given, to formulate solutions in a real and applicable manner, as opposed to just learning a bunch of facts and not being able to use and impliment them in the field…commonly known as Rote Learning.
Rote learning was looked upon by Mr Alberts as a retardant way of teaching. Rote learning is a learning technique which avoids understanding of a subject and instead focuses on memorization.
I may add my own two cents here and also include the adoption of teaching Creationism in the classroom, as anything other than a history lesson in Religious Activism and delirium gone wild, as also a retardation of the progressive education process and a throw back to the Neanderthal era. We shall soon have the students worshiping fire and images of Jesus on slices of pizza, to the delight of their delirious teachers and parents.
I can only come up with one example when thinking of the extended results of our current Rote Learning system, and that is to offer the image of George Dumbya Bush. He , in my honest opinion is the perfect outcome, of that type of non-intelligent, ” lack of thinking ” old Chinese Communist educational process of do as you are told by the Maoists…or die.

Arizona Senator Kyl says we do not need to pay the bill for Bush’s Tax Cuts…
Chris Wallace surprised me…and I admit that this is indeed hard to do. While interviewing Arizona Senator Kyl on Fox Sunday, Wallace asked him to explain how the Republicans propose to keep the Bush Tax cuts which are due to expire, without paying the approximately 700 Billion Dollar tab…a question which had Senator Kyl clearly stumped. He quickly tried to throw a slider and answered that the question was a loaded one. Chris Wallace then did the most unexpected thing a Republican leaning interviewer will ever do…He pressed on…and asked the question again, putting the Senator on the spot.
I swear I almost choked as I figuratively gasped in surprise and disbelief…
“You should never raise taxes in order to cut taxes,” said the Arizona Senator Kyle, “Surely Congress has the authority, and it would be right to — if we decide we want to cut taxes to spur the economy, not to have to raise taxes in order to offset those costs. You do need to offset the cost of increased spending, and that’s what Republicans object to. But you should never have to offset cost of a deliberate decision to reduce tax rates on Americans.”
This my friends, is the Hypocracy you can expect if we put this gang of con-men who caused this recession, back into power. This is as plain and as simple an example and proof as I can offer…the rest…the job of not voting for these traitorous and unpatriotic bastards…is up to you…

Aids Cure?? Aids Antibodies Found To Be 91% Effective !!
Scientists have discovered three previously unknown human antibodies that neutralize HIV, two of which target a broad range of HIV strains. The findings, reported online July 8 in two Science papers, come less than a year after another team of researchers discovered two other antibodies that bind to and neutralize HIV.
The discoveries may jump-start AIDS vaccine research. “The path forward isn’t as clear as we’d like it to be, but we are turning a corner, I think,” says David Montefiori, a viral immunologist at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, N.C., who was not involved in the research.
Nearly everyone infected with HIV makes some antibodies to it. But while HIV antibodies have been detected since the mid-1990s, none has had the properties to serve as a cornerstone around which to build a vaccine.
The newer antibodies might be made of tougher stuff. One in particular, called VRC01, displays potency and broad coverage across HIV strains, says Peter Kwong, a structural biologist at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases in Bethesda, Md., who coauthored both new reports.
In the new studies, Kwong and his colleagues collected antibodies from the blood of HIV-infected people around the globe. They then tested these antibodies against nearly 200 strains of HIV in the lab to determine how many strains were susceptible to each antibody and how much antibody was needed to neutralize the virus.
VRC01 and its sister antibody VRC02 neutralize 91 percent of HIV strains, the team reports. A third antibody, VRC03, neutralized 57 percent. By comparison, an antibody discovered in the 1990s neutralized only about 40 percent of known HIV strains, and the PG9 and PG16 antibodies unveiled last year neutralized 79 percent and 73 percent of strains.
The findings over the past year “establish a proof of the principle that it’s possible for the body to generate these kinds of antibodies,” Montefiori says. “We haven’t seen anything like what these antibodies can do — not even close.”
Scientists will do well to design an HIV vaccine that elicits the immune system to produce a combination of antibodies, to get an additive effect, Montefiori says.

The findings over the past year “establish a proof of the principle that it’s possible for the body to generate these kinds of antibodies,” Montefiori says. “We haven’t seen anything like what these antibodies can do — not even close.”
Scientists will do well to design an HIV vaccine that elicits the immune system to produce a combination of antibodies, to get an additive effect, Montefiori says.
