Welcome to Consumercide.com    | George Bush and the Corporate
Connection :Robert Lederman

                                       "What my cabinet shows is that I am not afraid to surround myself
                                       with strong and competent people...a good executive is one that
                                       understands how to recruit people and how to delegate authority and
                                       responsibility." GW Bush 1/2/2001 
 

                                       As promised, GW Bush has recruited competent and experienced
                                       advisors. Despite their seeming diversity however they have a
                                       common denominator. The America they reflect is the oil,
                                       pharmaceutical, armament, Wall Street and eugenics interests long
                                       associated with the Bush family. 

                                                   Seventy years ago a similar configuration of oil,
                                       pharmaceutical, chemical, military supply and eugenics interests were
                                       organized by Wall Street into IG Farben/Standard Oil, Hitler's
                                       industrial powerhouse. To grasp the real significance of what GW
                                       Bush's cabinet has been brought together to accomplish, it is essential
                                       to understand the history of IG Farben, its relationship with American
                                       corporations, and how together they applied modern technology to the
                                       task of eugenics or scientific racism. 

                                                   According to former US Justice Dept. Nazi War Crimes
                                       prosecutor John Loftus, who is today the director of the Florida
                                       Holocaust Museum, "The Bush family fortune came from the Third
                                       Reich," " (Sarasota Herald-Tribune 11/11/2000).

                                                   Along with the Rockefellers (Standard Oil, Chase Manhattan
                                       Bank), Mellons (Gulf Oil, Alcoa Aluminum), DuPonts (DuPont
                                       Chemicals), General Motors and Henry Ford, banks and shipping
                                       companies operated by the Bush family were crucial players in setting
                                       up the industrial power behind the Third Reich. These companies
                                       poured hundreds of millions of dollars into IG Farben and provided it
                                       with technology for tactically-essential synthetic materials, while
                                       withholding the same materials and patents from the US government. 

                                                   The Rockefeller family, long aligned with the Bushes, owned
                                       Standard Oil. Through a stock transfer, they became half owners of
                                       Germany's IG Farben with Farben, likewise owning almost half of
                                       Standard Oil. According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, IG Farben
                                       built and operated more than 40 concentration camps in
                                       Nazi-occupied Europe, including Auschwitz.

                                                   At their slave labor/factory/death camps, chemicals,
                                       weapons, drugs, synthetic fuels and other materials vital to the Nazi
                                       war effort were manufactured. In addition, eugenicists like Dr. Josef
                                       Mengele used the human subjects in the camps for experiments, the
                                       data from which are today the basis for many drugs marketed by the
                                       pharmaceutical industry, not too surprising in light of the fact that
                                       more Americans die from prescription drugs than from any other
                                       single cause.

                                                   At the end of WWII, the allies split up IG Farben into
                                       companies that are now the top pharmaceutical concerns on earth,
                                       among them Bayer, Hoescht, BASF, the Agfa-Gevaert Group, and
                                       Cassella AG. Many of Wall Streets' favorite pharmaceutical/chemical
                                       companies behind the proliferation of genetically-altered foods,
                                       transgenic animals, human cloning, dangerous psychiatric drugs,
                                       deadly vaccines and pesticides ' such as Aventis ' are subsidiaries of
                                       these same companies. 

                                                   War provides the necessary medium in which this witche's
                                       brew of oil, eugenics, pharmaceuticals, munitions, and Wall Street
                                       investing can reach maximum growth. Likewise, war is also the
                                       essential frame of reference for the newly formed GW Bush
                                       administration. 

                                                   The high-profile minorities who are working as Bush advisors
                                       have been hand-picked, funded and carefully cultivated by right wing
                                       think tanks and conservative foundations with a white supremacist
                                       philosophy in order to provide cover for their anti-poor, anti-minority
                                       eugenics agenda. 

                                                   For those who scoff at the validity of comparing the Bush
                                       administration to the Nazis and IG Farben, please note the following.
                                       I'm not suggesting that GW Bush is a literal Nazi nor am I implying
                                       that everyone who is an oil or pharmaceutical company executive
                                       automatically deserves to be linked to IG Farben. That the Bush
                                       wealth and prominence in American politics is derived from Prescott
                                       Bush and George Herbert Walker's support of Hitler is a historical
                                       fact. If the connection ended in 1945 with the destruction of Nazi
                                       Germany, that might have been the end of it. It didn't end there
                                       however.

                                                   Not only has the eugenics agenda continued, but many of the
                                       top Nazis who were advancing it during WWII were brought to the US
                                       after the war and installed in academia, the media, government
                                       research institutions and the CIA, by the same American officials who
                                       worked with the Bush family to build up Nazi Germany in the first
                                       place. Their ideas formed the basis for much of the agenda promoted
                                       by this nation's most influential right-wing think tanks, the same think
                                       tanks that are the sponsors of GW Bush and virtually every one of his
                                       appointees.

                                                   Why is it significant that many of Bush's staff and cabinet
                                       appointees are former pharmaceutical company executives as was
                                       GW's father, former President George Bush? These corporations are
                                       voraciously patenting the earth's life forms, its plants, bacteria,
                                       viruses, animals and even human genetic lineages. Reproduction of
                                       plants, animals and humans may eventually be totally controlled by
                                       these corporations, genetically-altered, recombined into chimeric life
                                       forms and exploited for profit. 

                                                   The Human Genome Project, as it admits on the very first
                                       page of its website, is derived from the eugenics movement in the US
                                       and Nazi Germany during the first half of the 20th century. The
                                       Eugenics Records Office at Cold Springs Harbor, NY ' where
                                       American eugenics started ' was built by the Harriman family, the
                                       Bushes' Wall Street business partners in funding Hitler. This is the
                                       new frontier of colonialism in the 21st century, the total domination
                                       and exploitation of the earth and everything on it, the New World
                                       Order both former President Bush and Adolf Hitler so frequently called
                                       for.

                                                   While my writings focus on the Republican aspect of this
                                       agenda, there is no question that many Democrats are participants
                                       and that none of these things could be accomplished without the full
                                       "bipartisan support" we hear about each and every day.

                                       Some of the men and women who do the thinking for GW Bush:

                                       Vice President Dick Cheney, arguably the real President-elect, was
                                       one of papa Bush's top advisors. His company, Haliburton, is one of
                                       the nation's largest recipients of government contracts, supplying
                                       military equipment, oil services and infrastructure. Cheney epitomizes
                                       corporate, welfare and, like most of Bush's appointees, is a
                                       multi-millionaire who will receive huge financial benefits from the
                                       administrations' policies and any wars it manages to get the US into.

                                       Secretary of Health and Human Services, Wisconsin Gov. Tommy G.
                                       Thompson, is known for his controversial welfare reforms, based in
                                       large part on two books by Charles Murray, Losing Ground and The
                                       Bell Curve. Murray was a consultant for the Wisconsin welfare reform
                                       program. Thompson's protege, Jason Turner, was later brought to
                                       NYC where he has run Mayor Giuliani's characteristically brutal
                                       welfare elimination program. Turner became notorious for quoting the
                                       motto on the gates over Auschwitz:  "Arbeit Macht Frei" work shall
                                       make you free. He is frequently a guest with Charles Murray in panel
                                       discussions at the CIA's Manhattan Institute and other
                                       Bush-connected think tanks. Murray wrote the Bell Curve while he
                                       was a fellow at the Manhattan Institute where his pseudo-scientific
                                       research on the genetic inferiority of African Americans was primarily
                                       financed by the Pioneer Fund. Since 1937 the Pioneer Fund has
                                       promoted eugenics and the ideology of white racial superiority.

                                       Secretary of Energy Spencer Abraham, who served as
                                       Vice-President Dan Quayle's chief of staff, spent years trying to
                                       abolish the very agency he will now head. His legislative positions
                                       include being against higher fuel efficiency standards for cars, being
                                       against government regulations for industry and support for opening
                                       up national parklands to oil drilling. He is a recipient of oil company
                                       contributions totaling more than $221,000 according to the NY Times.
                                       The American Petroleum Institute has said it looks forward to working
                                       with Abraham. Abraham helped found the conservative law group the
                                       Federalist Society which specializes in eliminating social programs,
                                       affirmative action, welfare and bilingual education. The Society is
                                       funded by the John M. Olin Foundation, the Sarah Scaife Foundation,
                                       the Bradley Foundation, and the Lilly Endowment, America's leading
                                       far right think tanks. Among its most prominent members are
                                       Supreme Court Justices Scalia and Thomas whose questionable
                                       election ruling gave Bush his illegitimate Presidency. Spokespersons
                                       for the Federalist Society include Bell Curve author Charles Murray,
                                       Manhattan Institute fellow Abigail Thernstrom, and Dinesh d'Souza of
                                       the American Enterprise Institute. 

                                       Secretary of Education Rod Paige, the latest African American Bush
                                       appointee, is a conservative public schools administrator in Texas and
                                       decades-long crony of the Bush family who supports vouchers, tying
                                       teacher pay directly to test scores and school privatization, all of
                                       which will negatively impact African American students by debilitating
                                       public education. 

                                       Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld was Secretary of Defense
                                       under President Ford. Rumsfeld like Powell, Cheney, Rice and
                                       numerous other Bush administration officials is a salesman for the
                                       Star Wars Missile Defense Shield. He served four terms in the US
                                       Congress where he voted against Medicare, anti-poverty programs
                                       like Headstart, food stamps and various healthcare proposals.
                                       Rumsfeld, who formerly headed Searle Pharmaceuticals, is part of
                                       the drug company axis within the Bush administration. Former
                                       President Bush was director of Eli Lilly. OMB head Mitchell E. Daniels
                                       was also senior executive of Eli Lilly, and John Ashcroft is known as a
                                       lobbyist for pharmaceutical companies. Dr. Gail R. Wilensky (one of
                                       numerous John M. Olin grant recipients attached to Bush) is the
                                       principal author of GW's Medicare plan. Wilensky serves on the
                                       boards of eight health care companies in which she owns more than
                                       $12 million in stock. 

                                       Secretary of State Colin Powell is a lifelong operative of the
                                       CIA/military-industrial complex. While working for the Pentagon, he
                                       earned his present stature by helping cover up the Mai Lai massacre,
                                       the contra/arms-cocaine deal and Gulf War Syndrome. Powell's
                                       reputation as a hero derives from presiding over a war in which US
                                       troops were used as guinea pigs for drug companies' experimental
                                       vaccines so they could "safely" fight George Bush's friend Sadamn
                                       Hussein, who had been supplied with chemical and biological weapons
                                       by the Bush administration. Unlike most of GW's appointees of color,
                                       Powell proudly admits he owes his career to affirmative action yet
                                       willingly joins an administration that considers ending affirmative action
                                       a top priority.

                                       Secretary of the Treasury Paul H. O'Neill is the chairman of Alcoa
                                       Aluminum, one of the world's worst polluters and a leading corporate
                                       supporter of Nazi Germany and eugenics. O'Neill owns 1.6 million
                                       shares of Alcoa, worth more than $50 million. During WWII Alcoa
                                       negotiated a deal with the Nazis and IG Farben to supply Germany's
                                       war machine rather than the US military with aluminum. "If America
                                       loses this war," said then Secretary of the Interior Harold Ickes on
                                       June 26, 1941, "it can thank the Aluminum Corporation of America
                                       [ALCOA]." Alcoa produces hundreds of millions of tons of fluoride.
                                       This highly toxic waste byproduct of aluminum has been linked in
                                       thousands of medical studies to cancer and other degenerative
                                       diseases. In the 1950's, Alcoa arranged to have it added to our
                                       nation's drinking water rather than disposed of as toxic waste. During
                                       WWII in IG Farben's slave labor camps, Nazi scientists discovered
                                       that by adding fluoride to the drinking water, they could make
                                       prisoners more submissive to authority. O'Neill is a fellow at the
                                       RAND Corporation and at the American Enterprise Institute, two more
                                       extreme right-wing think tanks. 

                                       Attorney General John Ashcroft is a self-styled moral crusader as
                                       strongly anti-abortion as he is enthusiastic about the death penalty.
                                       Last year, Ashcroft received an honorary degree from Bob Jones
                                       University. He is closely aligned with the Christian Coalition, Pat
                                       Robertson and Southern heritage groups which admire the
                                       Confederacy and defend the institution of slavery as practiced in the
                                       South. He is known among lobbyists as an advocate for drug
                                       companies and the automotive industry and for preventing consumers
                                       from suing HMO's. The furor over Ashcroft's anti-abortion views is
                                       being played out exactly as planned by Team Bush. Not only will the
                                       Bush administration never make abortions illegal, if anything the
                                       eugenics agenda that underlies the Bush family history guarantees
                                       that abortion, sterilization and other technologies intended to limit
                                       population, including war, chemical exposure, pesticide use in urban
                                       areas, genetically-altered foods and vaccines, will proceed at an
                                       unprecedented level. The Bush gang are delighted to see Democrats,
                                       women's rights advocates and the left focusing on Ashcroft while
                                       virtually ignoring the other Bush appointees.
