In October 1942, ten months after entering World War II, America was 
preparing its first assault against Nazi military forces. Prescott 
Bush was managing partner of Brown Brothers Harriman. His 18-year-old 
son George, the future U.S. President, had just begun training to 
become a naval pilot. On Oct. 20, 1942, the U.S. government ordered 
the seizure of Nazi German banking operations in New York City which 
were being conducted by Prescott Bush. Under the Trading with the 
Enemy Act, the government took over the Union Banking Corporation, in 
which Bush was a director. The U.S. Alien Property Custodian seized 
Union Banking Corp.'s stock shares, all of which were owned by 
Prescott Bush, E. Roland `` Bunny '' Harriman, three Nazi executives, 
and two other associates of Bush. (1)

By Oct. 26, 1942, U.S. troops were under way for North Africa. On 
Oct. 28, the government issued orders seizing two Nazi front 
organizations run by the Bush-Harriman bank: the Holland-American 
Trading Corporation and the Seamless Steel Equipment Corporation. (2)

U.S. forces landed under fire near Algiers on Nov. 8, 1942; heavy 
combat raged throughout November. Nazi interests in the 
Silesian-American Corporation, long managed by Prescott Bush and his 
father-in-law George Herbert Walker, were seized under the Trading 
with the Enemy Act on Nov. 17, 1942. In this action, the government 
announced that it was seizing only the Nazi interests, leaving the 
Nazis' U.S. partners to carry on the business. (3)

Bush and Quayle's advisers in 1988 included several European fascist 
activists, including Nazi collaborator Laszlo Pasztor, who had served 
as junior envoy in Berlin for the Arrow Cross regime in his native 
Hungary; Florian Goldau, who had been recruiter for the Romanian Iron 
Guard; Bohdan Fedorak, who had headed a Ukranian pro-Nazi group 
involved in wartime pogroms; and Croatian-born agitator Jerome 
Brentar, a fixture on the Holocaust denial circuit. (4)

Discussing what he would say to Israeli Jews upon arriving in the 
middle east in 1993, George W. joked: "[You're all] going to hell."

Tapes of the Bush Family's long-time spiritual adviser, Billy Graham, 
have revealed that Graham used to have vehemently anti-Semitic 
conversations with Nixon. For example, Graham blamed "satanic Jews" 
for the nation's problems. After agreeing with Nixon that left-wing 
Jews dominate the news-media, Graham stated that "They're the ones 
putting out the pornographic stuff," and the Jewish "stranglehold has 
got to be broken or the country's going down the drain." He also 
admitted that "a lot of the Jews are great friends of mine.... But 
they don't know how I really feel about what they are doing about 
this country." (6)

Whether one is for or against it, the death penalty is a serious 
issue. When Karla Faye Tucker was asked, just before her execution, 
"What would you say to Governor Bush?" George W. showed the 
sensitivity of a Nazi when he mocked her: "Please... don't kill me!"
