please check out these stats on the Republikan VP candidate, Dick Cheney.

 Read his own words, if you have any doubts about the agenda of a Bush Regime...  when he spoke on behalf of his billion-dollar perk-factory Halliburton Oil in fron of the UK Institute for Petroleum:

" I’m often asked why I left politics and went to Halliburton and I explain that I reached the point where I was mean-spirited, short-tempered and intolerant of those who disagreed with me and they said ‘ Hell, you’d make a great CEO’, so I went to Texas and joined the private sector. "

 This is a man you want to represent your children's future?

 Enclosed is a summary of the business connections between Cheney, the Bushes, Big Oil and the Far-Right agenda in Amerika. Note the century of self-serving
corporate conspiracy & conflict of interest which is embodied in the Bush family.

Cheney's Multi-Million Dollar Revolving Door ***************************************

As Bush Sr.'s secretary of defense, Dick Cheney steered millions of dollars in government business to a private military contractor -- whose parent company just happened to give him a high-paying job after he left the government.

Ever since George W. Bush named him as a running mate, Dick Cheney has been all smiles. And why not? Cheney has led a charmed life. His political career included stints in the White House, Congress and the Defense Department. Then he went into the private sector and got rich. 
But just how Cheney got rich deserves some scrutiny. As secretary of defense, Cheney oversaw one of the largest privatization efforts in the history of the Pentagon, steering millions of military dollars to civilian contractors. Two and a half years after Cheney left his federal job, he began cashing in on the very contracts that he helped initiate. 
In 1992, the Pentagon, then under Cheney's direction, paid Texas-based Brown & Root Services <http://www.halliburton.com/BRS/BRS.asp> $3.9 million to produce a classified report detailing how private companies -- like itself -- could help provide logistics for American troops in potential war zones around the world. BRS specializes in such work; from 1962 to 1972, for instance, the company worked in the former South Vietnam building roads, landing strips, harbors, and military bases. Later in 1992, the Pentagon gave the company an additional $5 million to update its report. That same year, BRS won a massive, five-year logistics contract from the US Army Corps of Engineers to work alongside American GIs in places like Zaire, Haiti, Somalia, Kosovo, the Balkans, and Saudi Arabia. 
After Bill Clinton's election cost Cheney his government job, he wound up in 1995 as CEO of Halliburton Company <http://www.halliburton.com/BRS/BRS.asp>, the Dallas-based oil services giant -- which just happens to own Brown & Root Services. Since then, Cheney has collected more than $10 million in salary and stock payments from the company. In addition, he is currently the company's largest individual shareholder, holding stock and options worth another $40 million. Those holdings have undoubtedly been made more valuable by the ever-more lucrative contracts BRS continues to score with the Pentagon. 
Between 1992 and 1999, the Pentagon paid BRS more than $1.2 billion for its work in trouble spots around the globe. In May of 1999, the US Army Corps of Engineers re-enlisted the company's help in the Balkans, giving it a new five-year contract worth $731 million. 
To critics, this all adds up to classic revolving-door politics: Cheney's work for Halliburton, they say, has allowed him to improperly profit off of actions he took and contacts he made while in government. 
"Over the years, we've tried to slow the revolving door to make sure decision makers don't benefit from decisions they make while they are in office," said Tom Smith, the Texas state director of Public Citizen <http://www.publiccitizen.org/>, a non-profit consumer group. "You have to question whose interests Cheney is looking after, and whether privatization has really benefited the Department of Defense, or the defense contractors like Brown & Root." 
Although the US military has long relied on contractors for various services, the issue for some observers is the possibility that Cheney used his contacts within government to enrich himself. "We are talking about nepotism of the highest order and profiteering at the expense of the US taxpayers," says Pratap Chatterjee, a radio journalist who has followed Halliburton for several years.

At least one veep also-ran is "baffled" by Cheney's self-selection.

- - - - - - - - - - - -
By Jake Tapper

July 26, 2000 | AUSTIN, Texas -- The GOP vice presidential selection process, Newsweek writer T. Trent Gegax quipped Monday night, is a rehash of the film "The Usual Suspects." You spend hours listening to one balding, unassuming character hash out with you the mystery of who Keyser Soze is. Then, at the end, you're stunned to find out that the guy telling the story is Keyser Soze. 
Dick Cheney is Keyser Soze! 
And if you're surprised, how do you think the other prospective running mates feel? Take Oklahoma Gov. Frank Keating, for instance. On Tuesday morning, Keating received a phone call from Texas counterpart George W. Bush, telling him what he was already pretty sure was going to be bad news: He wasn't the one. 
Instead, Keating was told, that role would be assumed by Cheney -- oddly enough, the man who had interviewed Keating for the job and who had been supervising the entire running-mate selection process to begin with! 
"The governor thought Dick Cheney was a great pick," says Keating spokesman Phil Bacharach, adding, "When it comes to the decision, Governor Keating would have to defer to Dick Cheney because of his expertise in foreign relations and international policy; in short his national and international stature." Keating and Cheney have known each other for some time, Bacharach explains, as they both served in the Bush administration. Keating had asked Cheney to lead the fundraising for the Oklahoma City Memorial. They're friends, Bacharach says. 
That is not to say, however, that Keating was pleased with the oddness of this selection process and that, in the end, Cheney essentially picked himself. According to a source familiar with the process Keating went through, the Oklahoma governor did find that process somewhat "baffling."
 In the job interview of all job interviews, Keating, after all, turned over his most sensitive personal, financial and professional information about himself to the very man who would end up applying for -- and winning -- the same job. 
"On its face, it's pretty bizarre," says the Keating source.

Good Old Boys, Bankers, and Big Oil :::
Dick Cheney's Speech at the Institute of Petroleum Autumn lunch ************************************************

 " To hear that resume reciting all of my political background and experience, of course oftentimes people say that work in the oil industry is not really sort of an uppercrust kind of organisation and I say, ‘Yeah, but I used to be a Congressman and it’s clearly a step up for me to go from the political world to the world of the oil and gas industry.

 " I’m often asked why I left politics and went to Halliburton and I explain that I reached the point where I was mean-spirited, short-tempered and intolerant of those who disagreed with me and they said ‘ Hell, you’d make a great CEO’, so I went to Texas and joined the private sector. 
 "But I am delighted to be here and I want to try to avoid, I understand last year when Sheikh Yamani spoke that he was rather pessimistic about the outlook for oil prices and the ability of OPEC to arrive at a price level and maintain it over time and I’m not sure that it’s fair to come back a year later and second-guess and I hope a year from now people won’t do that to me in terms of the forecasts I’m going to make, but I do want to talk about the outlook, certainly from the perspective of Halliburton, how we look at what may occur here in the future and let me say at the outset that I am unreasonably optimistic about our industry. 
 "From the standpoint of the oil industry obviously and I’ll talk a little later on about gas, but obviously for over a hundred years we as an industry have had to deal with the pesky problem that once you find oil and pump it out of the ground you’ve got to turn around and find more or go out of business. 
 "Producing oil is obviously a self-depleting activity. Every year you’ve got to find and develop reserves equal to your output just to stand still, just to stay even. This is true for companies as well in the broader economic sense as it is for the world. A new merged company like Exxon-Mobil will have to secure over a billion and a half barrels of new oil equivalent reserves every year just to replace existing production. It’s like making one hundred per cent interest discovery in another major field of some five hundred million barrels equivalent every four months or finding two Hibernias a year.

 " For the world as a whole, oil companies are expected to keep finding and developing enough oil to offset our seventy one million plus barrel a day of oil depletion, but also to meet new demand. By some estimates there will be an average of two per cent annual growth in global oil demand over the years ahead along with conservatively a three per cent natural decline in production from existing reserves. That means by 2010 we will need on the order of an additional fifty million barrels a day. 
 "So where is the oil going to come from? Governments and the national oil companies are obviously controlling about ninety per cent of the assets. Oil remains fundamentally a government business. While many regions of the world offer great oil opportunities, the Middle East with two thirds of the world’s oil and the lowest cost, is still where the prize ultimately lies, even though companies are anxious for greater access there, progress continues to be slow.

CHENEY WOULD GIVE UP MILLIONS BY TAKING VP SPOT
*********************************************************

By Jeremy Pelofsky © <http://news.excite.com/news/r/000724/18/campaign-cheney-halliburton>

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Dick Cheney would give up millions if he stepped down as head of the world's largest oil field service company to become Republican presidential candidate George W. Bush's vice presidential running mate. 
Cheney, 59, the CEO of Halliburton Co. and the head of Bush's search for a lieutenant, raked in $1.92 million last year plus stock options but would trade that in for a $181,400 salary if elected vice president this fall. 
Bush, the son of former President George Bush, has selected Cheney as his running mate and is expected to call him with the offer, senior Republican sources said late Monday. 
Cheney, who had previously told associates that he would accept the nomination if asked, served as defense secretary under former President Bush, earning $143,800 in 1992. 
The oil executive lives in Dallas, where Halliburton has its headquarters, but changed his voter registration Friday to his home state of Wyoming to clear a constitutional hurdle that makes it difficult for the president and vice president to be from the same state. Cheney was a congressman from Wyoming for 10 years. 
Halliburton paid him $1.28 million in salary and $640,914 in other compensation last year plus stock options worth $7.4 million to $18.8 million depending on the company's future stock performance, an examination of regulatory filings showed Monday. 
That's half what he made in 1998, when he hauled in $4.4 million plus stock options. 
"That would put his pay package at the high end, not the highest, which is probably appropriate for a company of that size," said Alan Johnson who runs Johnson & Associates, a compensation consulting firm in New York. "It's ... more than he would make as vice president." 
Halliburton provides equipment and other services to oil and natural gas companies for exploration and production. 
The company is no stranger to the Republican Party, giving almost $200,000 in the 1999-2000 campaign cycle. 
Cheney, who has been CEO of Halliburton since 1995 and recently took on the title of chairman, holds a $45.5 million stake as the company's biggest individual stockholder. 
The executive also holds $12.5 million worth of exercisable stock options and another $1 million in options that are not exercisable yet, according to company documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 
"His ability to open doors and have access to very senior people domestically and internationally has been exceptional," said Jim Wicklund, managing director of energy research at Dain Rauscher Wessels. 
In addition, Cheney serves on the board of directors for Union Pacific Corp., Procter & Gamble Co. <http://quicken.excite.com/investments/quotes/?symbol=PG> and Electronic Data Systems Corp. <http://quicken.excite.com/investments/quotes/?symbol=EDS> 
RESIGN FROM HALLIBURTON? 
Cheney would likely resign from Halliburton if he were to run for the White House with Bush, one industry watcher said. 
"I think it would be more likely that he resign than take a leave of absence so that they don't have that interruption of service in the executive office," Wicklund said. 
"The problem would be is if he took a leave of absence, that would mean even if he lost, he would be out of commission for at least three months," he said. 
Halliburton has donated approximately $129,000 in soft money, or unlimited contributions to parties, to Republican organizations including $80,000 to the Republican National Committee, Federal Election Commission (FEC) records showed. 
Most of Halliburton's other contributions were to the National Republican Senatorial and Congressional committees. 
While the funds cannot go directly to candidates, the money is often used for party building events and advertisements on specific political issues. 
The company's political action committee also contributed $62,252 to candidates running for the U.S. House and Senate with all but $2,000 going to Republicans, according to data compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics. 
For their part, Cheney and his wife, Lynne, have contributed $2,000 each to Bush's campaign and the oil executive has donated $2,500 to Halliburton's political action committee, according to FEC data. 
Halliburton's stock closed down 9/16 to 41-11/16 on the New York Stock Exchange. Its 52-week high is 52-1/4 and year-low is 32-5/16.

DICK CHENEY'S FIRM, HALLIBURTON, OPERATES BROWN & ROOT, INC. WHICH MADE MILLIONS FROM THE BOSNIA WAR!

TOP 100 DEFENSE CONTRACTORS:

NO. 10 - Brown & Root Inc.

P.O. Box 3
Houston, Texas 77001

<http://www.halliburton.com/>$582,314,000
<http://206.144.247.87/archive/98-06-24/top100/10.html>

Defense cuts can be good for Brown & Root Inc., a company that has grown to 40,000 employees by expanding its work from energy-related services into government outsourcing. 
An example of the latter is the company's lucrative, multiyear, logistics support effort for U.S. troops in Bosnia. This effort covers a wide array of services, including the transport of fuel and food, and construction of housing. 
In Bosnia, the company does "almost everything that the [military] does not want to do ... allowing them to focus on their military mission," said Chuck Fiala, vice president and director of operations for Brown & Root Services Corp. in Houston. 
In 1996, the Bosnia operation contributed roughly $400 million to Brown & Root's revenues, which totaled $3.1 billion in 1995. 
The logistics support contract from the Department of Defense catapulted Brown & Root to the No. 10 slot on Washington Technology's Top 100 list. However, U.S. forces are slated to withdraw from Bosnia in the summer of 1998, putting an end to the firm's lucrative operation there. 
With the growing number of commercial and federal infotech outsourcing opportunities, Brown & Root executives are now trying to decide whether to pursue more of these contracts, said Fiala. "[We] have to decide which strategy [offers] the best financial return," he said. 
Of the company's total revenues, $582 million was earned performing outsourcing work for the U.S. government. 
Brown & Root Services Corp. is one of two major components of Brown & Root Inc., a subsidiary of Halliburton Co. of Dallas. The latter earned 80 percent of its $5.7 billion revenue in 1995 by selling high-technology services and products to the oil and gas industries. 
Halliburton's president and CEO is Dick Cheney, who served as defense secretary under President George Bush. Cheney joined the company in October 1995.

THE DEEP POLITICS OF THE BUSH FAMILY POLITICAL EMPIRE.

by Linda Minor © 2000

Who were the clients of Brown Brothers Harriman when Prescott Bush and his wife's father, George H. Walker, worked for them? It was these investors who funded George H.W. Walker's campaigns. His biggest contributors were his uncle Herbie Walker, formerly of St. Louis, and Eugene Meyer, whose father spent his entire career working for a competing investment bank--Lazard Freres--or Lazard Brothers, as it was called in London.

The Bush family ties to the Lairds and Lords of Scotland and England.

Lazard Brothers was controlled by officials in the British government. It was always the investment bank of David Rockefeller. And, besides Meyer and Walker, George Bush's other large investor in Bush-Overbey was British Assets Trust, Ltd., an investment company whose directors interlocked with the management of companies associated with Lord Kindersley, such as Hudson's Bay Company. The chairman of British Assets Trust in 1956 was J.G.S. Gammell in Edinburgh, Scotland, and in 1985 by J.C.R. Inglis, a partner in Shepherd & Wedderburn, WS, an Edinburgh law firm. Inglis was also a director of The Royal Bank of Scotland Group, Scottish Provident Institution for Mutual Life Assurance, Edinburgh American Assets Trust and Atlantic
Assets Trust, as well as chairman of European Assets, N.V., Gammell also had served as director of The Royal Bank of Scotland Group, as did such other notables as The Right Hon. Lord Balfour of Burleigh, The Right Hon. Lord Clydesmuir and The Right Hon. Lord Polwarth. Polwarth, incidentally, began serving as a director of the Halliburton Company, parent of Brown & Root, in 1974.

The Bush family continued to amass its fortune an power from the British and Scottish sources named above, as these sources introduced their financial tentacles into Texas, and as George H.W. Bush and Barbara drove that old red Studebaker into Houston. Has anything changed? Do the same people run the selection of Dick Cheney as Vice President today? Will their scion, that old Skull & Bonesman, George W. be annointed? 
The PERMINDEX connection to the Bush power moves.

Paravicini Bank and Permindex

In the same year that Zapata and Pennzoil were moving toward hostile takeovers, a new Swiss bank opened in Houston with J. Hugh Liedtke and George Bush's securities adviser, W.S. Farish III, among the directors. Called "Bank for Investment and Credit Berne" (BICB), its stock was owned by Capital National Bank and Paravicini Bank, but investors included Seagrams, Boeing, Minute Maid in Zurich, the London subsidiary of Brown and Root and the Schlesinger Organization of London and Johannesburg. These investors are more than interesting in light of the fact that Paravicini is a descendant of the Venetian Pallavicini family, whose attorney in Rome,
Carlo d'Amelio, was the general counsel to Centro Mondiale Commerciale (CMC),
the Italian arm of Permindex. CMC was incorporated in Berne Switzerland, and D' Amelio sat on the board of directors during the time that Seagrams' attorney, Louis Mortimer Bloomfield of Montreal, was chairman of Permindex.


When the role of CMC in the attempted assassination of President DeGaulle of France was discovered, it fled Europe and re-emerged in Johannesburg, South Africa. However, the parent company, Permindex, continued to be managed from Montreal by Bloomfield. Clay Shaw, the man prosecuted in New Orleans by Jim Garrison for his role in the Kennedy assassination, was also a board member of CMC, with which his International Trade Mart had connections.

According to a 1970 report called "The Torbitt Document," William Torbitt, states: "...a compilation of information gathered by a Texas attorney from "court-approved and documented evidence" from sources in the U.S. Customs Department and the Narcotics Bureau, from the Warren Commission and the Garrison investigations, Bloomfield's Permindex Corp. supervised five subsidiary groups: 

(1) "White Russian" organization called the Solidarists--members Ferenc Nagy of Dallas (former Hungarian premier) and Jean De Menil of Houston (head of Schlumberger).


(2) American Council of Churches--H.L. Hunt organization;


(3) Free Cuba Committee--Carlos Prio Soccaras (Cuban ex-president);


(4) "The Syndicate"--Clifford Jones and Bobby Baker working with Joe Bonanno Mafia family; 
(5) NASA's Security Division--Werner Von Braun, headquarters in Redstone Arsenal in Muscle Shoals, Alabama and on East Broad Street in Columbus, Ohio.


The Kennedy assassination was planned and carried out by Division Five of the FBI, which acted in conjunction with the Defense Intelligence Agency under the control of the Joint Chiefs. These divisions had a highly secret police agency called the Defense Industrial Security Command, which also worked with NASA, the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC), USIA and weapons and ammunition supply corporations (munitions makers) which contract with those agencies. The police force originated in the 1930's to work for the Tennessee Valley Authority, then expanded to the AEC, tying it in with army intelligence. Agents of this force included Clay Shaw, Guy Bannister, David Ferrie, Lee Harvey Oswald, Jack Ruby and others, and was headed up by Bloomfield. 
According to the Torbitt report: 

The principal financiers of Permindex were a number of U.S. oil companies, H.L. Hunt, Clint Murchison, John De Menil, Solidarist director of Houston, John Connally, as executor of Sid Richardson estate, Haliburton [sic] Oil Co., Sen. Robert Kerr of Okla., Troy Post of Dallas, Lloyd Cobb of New Orleans, Dr. Oechner of New Orleans, George and Herman Brown of Brown & Root, Attorney Roy M. Cohn, Chairman of the Board for Lionel Corp., New York City, Schenley Industries of New York City, Walter Dornberger, ex-Nazi general and his company, Bell Aerospace, Pan American World Airways and its subsidiary, Intercontinental Hotel Corp., Paul Raigorodsky of
Claiborne Oil of New Orleans, Credit Suisse of Canada, and Heineken's Brewery of
Canada and a host of other munitions makers and NASA contractors directed by
the Defense Industrial Security Command. 
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

CHENEY'S HALLIBURTON (ROOT & BROWN) THING LEADS DIRECTLY TO THE KENNEDY ASSASSINATION. 
After serving as Secretary of Defense for President Bush, Cheney reaped the financial rewards of the revolving money door between the military and industry. Cheney became a member of the board of directors of Morgan Stanley. the Union Pacific Corp., Procter & Gamble Co.  and Electronic Data Systems Corp. But, most important, in 1995 Cheney became the CEO of Halliburton (owner of Brown and Root)  Cheney, the chairman of the board, holds a $45.5 million stake as Halliburton's biggest individual stockholder. Brown and Root reaped multi-millions from the Bosnia war. 
In 1998 Richard Cheney got the idea that Halliburton should purchase Dresser Industries, for $8.1 billion (creating the world's largest oil-drilling services company) while on a quail hunt with Dresser chair Bill Bradford. Dresser and Halliburton merged. Dresser Industries was owned and operated by Brown Brothers Harriman. Prescott Bush (George H.W.'s father) was a partner of Brown Brothers and on the board of Dresser for decades until he became a U.S. Senator.

CHENEY'S FIRM HALLIBURTON AND BROWN & ROOT FINANCED, (IN PART) PERMINDEX, THE CORPORATE FRONT, WHICH OPERATED THE ASSASSINATION OF PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY.

PERMINDEX was a corporate front, headed by Major Louis M. Bloomfield of Canada. Clay Shaw operated a division of PERMINDEX in New Orleans at the International Trade Mart. The connections between Clay Shaw, David Ferrie and Lee Harvey Oswald have, at this time, been proven by documentary and photographic evidence, despite myriad attempts to discredit the Garrison investigation.

Halliburton was one of the financiers of PERMINDEX. George and Herman Brown of Brown and Root were also financiers. Halliburton acquired Brown and Root after 1963. In the Nomenclature of an Assassination Cabal .   William Torbitt, states:

The principal financiers of Permindex were a number of U. S. oil companies, H. L. Hunt of Dallas, Clint Murchison of Dallas, John DeMenil, Solidarist director of Houston, John Connally as executor of the Sid Richardson estate, Haliburton Oil Co., Senator Robert Kerr of Oklahoma, Troy Post of Dallas, Lloyd Cobb of New Orleans, Dr. Oschner of New Orleans, George and Herman Brown of Brown and Root, Houston, Attorney Roy M. Cohn, Chairman of the Board for Lionel Corporation, New York City, Schenley Industries of New York City, Walter Dohrnberger, ex-Nazi General and his company, Bell Aerospace, Pan American World Airways, its subsidiary, Intercontinental Hotel Corporation, Paul Raigorodsky of Dallas through his company, Claiborne Oil of New Orleans, Credit Suisse of Canada, Heineken's Brewery of Canada and a host of other munition makers and NASA contractors directed by the Defense Industrial Security Command.

PERMINDEX was the operator of death squads in Europe, Mexico, Central American, the Caribbean and the United States. The persons and corporations who worked with PERMINDEX took over the government of the United States of America on November 22, 1963. The perpetrators have never been brought to justice, and now Halliburton, a Permindex backer, thus and financer of the ASSASSINATION OF PRESIDENT KENNEDY, has one of its own, Dick Cheney, trying to be the Vice President of the United States.

The BUSH-DULLES-NAZI Connection
*************************************************

GEORGE HERBERT WALKER BUSH

 George Bush was deeply involved with supporting the Nazis in the Republican's closet. In fact, support for the Nazis was a Bush family tradition which goes back more than six decades and, once again, to Allen Dulles. 
Loftus and Aarons write: "The real story of George Bush starts well before he launched his own career. It goes back to the 1920s, when the Dulles brothers and the other pirates of Wall Street were making their deals with the Nazis. . . ."

 THE BUSH-DULLES-NAZI CONNECTION 
"George Bush's problems were inherited from his namesake and maternal grandfather, George Herbert 'Bert' Walker, a native of St. Louis, who founded the banking and investment firm of G. H. Walker and Company in 1900. Later the company shifted from St. Louis to the prestigious address of 1 Wall Street. . . .

 "Walker was one of Hitler's most powerful financial supporters in the United States. The relationship went all the way back to 1924, when Fritz Thyssen, the German industrialist, was financing Hitler's infant Nazi party. As mentioned in earlier chapters, there were American contributors as well. "Some Americans were just bigots and made their connections to Germany through Allen Dulles's firm of Sullivan and Cromwell because they supported Fascism. The Dulles brothers, who were in it for profit more than ideology, arranged American investments in Nazi Germany in the 1930s to ensure that their clients did well out of the German economic recovery. 
."Sullivan & Cromwell was not the only firm engaged in funding Germany. According to 'The Splendid Blond Beast,' Christopher Simpson's seminal history of the politics of genocide and profit, Brown Brothers, Harriman was another bank that specialized in investments in Germany. The key figure was Averill Harriman, a dominating figure in the American establishment. 
"The firm originally was known as W. A. Harriman & Company. The link between Harriman & Company's American investors and Thyssen started in the 1920s, through the Union Banking Corporation, which began trading in 1924. In just one three-year period, the Harriman firm sold more than $50 million of German bonds to American investors. 'Bert' Walker was Union Banking's president, and the firm was located in the offices of Averill Harriman's company at 39 Broadway in New York. "In 1926 Bert Walker did a favor for his new son-in-law, Prescott Bush. It was the sort of favor families do to help their children make a start in life, but Prescott came to regret it bitterly. Walker made Prescott vice president of W. A. Harriman. The problem was that Walker's specialty was companies that traded with Germany. As Thyssen and the other German industrialists consolidated Hitler's political power in the 1930s, an American financial connection was needed. According to our sources, Union Banking became an out-and-out Nazi money-laundering machine. 
"In [1931], Harriman & Company merged with a British-American investment company to become Brown Brothers, Harriman Prescott Bush became one of the senior partners of the new company, which relocated to 59 Broadway, while Union Banking remained at 39 Broadway. But in 1934 Walker arranged to put his son-in-law on the board of directors of Union Banking.

 "Walker also set up a deal to take over the North American operations of the Hamburg-Amerika Line, a cover for I.G. Farben's Nazi espionage unit in the United States. The shipping line smuggled in German agents, propaganda, and money for bribing American politicians to see things Hitler's way. The holding company was Walker's American Shipping & Commerce, which shared the offices at 39 Broadway with Union Banking. In an elaborate corporate paper trail, Harriman's stock in American Shipping & Commerce was controlled by yet another holding company, the Harriman Fifteen Corporation, run out of Walker's office. The directors of this company were Averill Harriman, Bert Walker, and Prescott Bush. . A 1934 congressional investigation alleged that Walker's 'Hamburg-Amerika Line subsidized a wide range of pro-Nazi propaganda efforts both in Germany and the United States.' Walker did not know it, but one of his American employees, Dan Harkins, had blown the whistle on the spy apparatus to Congress. Harkins, one of our best sources, became Roosevelt's first double agent . . . [and] kept up the pretense of being an ardent Nazi sympathizer, while reporting to Naval Intelligence on the shipping company's deals with Nazi intelligence. 
"Instead of divesting the Nazi money," continue the authors, "Bush hired a lawyer to hide the assets. The lawyer he hired had considerable expertise in such underhanded schemes. It was Allen Dulles. According to Dulles's client list at Sullivan & Cromwell, his first relationship with Brown Brothers, Harriman was on June 18, 1936. In January 1937 Dulles listed his work for the firm as 'Disposal of Stan [Standard Oil] Investing stock.'

 "As discussed in Chapter 3, Standard Oil of New Jersey had completed a major stock transaction with Dulles's Nazi client, I.G.Farben. By the end of January 1937 Dulles had merged all his cloaking activities into one client account: 'Brown Brothers Harriman-Schroeder Rock.' Schroeder, of course, was the Nazi bank on whose board Dulles sat. The 'Rock' were the Rockefellers of Standard Oil, who were already coming under scrutiny for their Nazi deals. By May 1939 Dulles handled another problem for Brown Brothers, Harriman, their 'Securities Custodian Accounts.' 
"If Dulles was trying to conceal how many Nazi holding companies Brown Brothers, Harriman was connected with, he did not do a very good job. Shortly after Pearl Harbor, word leaked from Washington that affiliates of Prescott Bush's company were under investigation for aiding the Nazis in time of war. " The government investigation against Prescott Bush continued.

 " Under the Trading with the Enemy Act, all the shares of the Union Banking Corporation were seized, including those held by Prescott Bush as being in effect held for enemy nationals. Union Banking, of course, was an affiliate of Brown Brothers, Harriman, and Bush handled the Harrimans' investments as well." <http://callertimes.com/busarch/bus3595.html> Halliburton, Dresser <http://www.famoustexans.com/georgebush.htm> 
"George opted for a third family tie. He met with Henry Neil Mallon, the president of Dresser Industries. Mallon offered George his first job at Dresser subsidiary International Derrick and Equipment Company (Ideco), in Odessa, Texas.

"American Indians share a history rich in diversity, integrity, culture and tradition. It is also rich in tragedy, deceit and genocide. As the world learns of these atrocities and cries out for justice for ALL people everywhere, no human being should ever have to fear for his or her life because of their political or religious beliefs. We are in this together, my friends, the rich, the poor, the red, white, black, brown and yellow. We share responsibility for Mother Earth and those who live and breathe upon her. Never forget that."

--Leonard Peltier
