Shame on SF Chronicle's Nazi Bush Photo Setup at Auschwitz

by Holocaust Family Member
On the front page of the Sunday, 6/1/03 newspaper of record of Northern California, the San Francisco Chronicle, its Editor-Executive VP Phil Bronstein and Managing Editor VP Robert Rosenthal chose to allow Nazi Bush the front and center photo & story of Nazi Pres Bush visiting Auschwitz.

This insulting publicity stunt may be seen to be believed at:
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2003/06/01/MN76079.DTL

We can be sure this fascist grandson of a financier of Hitler was proudly examining the results of his grandfather's treason, all done to maximize profits and maintain capitalism.

The publicity stunt is all to get the Jewish vote which still, in spite of the fact that the official religious Jewish community is overwhelmingly upper middle class, a majority Democrat. The Democrats are the twin party of capitalism but Bush would rather they actually vote for him rather than just reaffirming their commitment to capitalism by voting mostly Democrat, and in the minority Republican.

This is of course the same capitalist rag that proudly promotes Israel, the fascist US military base that Bush supports to protect US oil profits in the Middle East. Bush does not support Israel because he gives a damn about Jewish people; he is an anti-Semite and a proud Nazi and he comes from a fascist family, of which he is very proud.

The history of Nazis and the satanic cult of freemasonary and other secret societies remains obscure yet well documented.
Bush grandpa, Bush daddy and Bush junior are all well aware of these satanik cults.
These cults have practiced child mutilation, animal and homosapien sacrifices for ages so it comes as no surprise that the recent mutilation of Lacy peterson and her fetus were found in the condition they were found in.
The fact that her kidnapp and horrific sacrifice was on the day of the birth of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ suggest that her capturs worship the anti-christ and made their yearly sacrifice on that schedule.
It all ties to the fact that Bush garndpa donated his time & energy to the nazi cult and made a pretty hefty profit from that questionble investment.


Bush grandson visiting the site of the torture inflicted on the victims of his grandpa is also very fitting.

History is doomed to repeat itself if we keep Not payin Attention.

Welcome to the Fourth Reich!
Manic Monday

Sandra Monday, Columnist

Here it is, The Truth. Many have told me you won't care, that you will call it irrelevant. The truth is that we are in the midst of the Fourth Reich. I know it sounds absurd, but it's true. President George W. Bush's grandfather, Prescott Bush, was a NAZI SYMPATHIZER. He personally financed the building of over 40 concentration camps including Auschwitz. How did he do this and how does this relate to "Junior?" Let me explain.
"On October 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."
(Chaitkin and Tarpley, George Bush: the Unauthorized Biography)
If you don't think it's important that Prescott Bush had four companies seized including the Holland-American Trading Corporation or the Seamless Steel Equipment Association as well as the Silesian-American Corporation, then you are in denial. The fact is that President Bush's family played a pivotal part in financing Adolph Hitler's takeover of Germany. Prescott Bush was a legal front man for the Nazis and the entire Bush fortune was built off of the Hitler Project. The New York Tribune had exposed Bush, whom it called "Hitler's Angel."
What does this have to do with Junior you might say? Well, it's elementary my dear Watson. Prescott's son George Bush followed suit by being the first to sell the Japanese the gasoline that was used on the attack on Pearl Harbor . (Glen Yeadon, From the Street of Little Beirut)
George the first has finished his father's work and retained many of the family's connections with Nazi associations, the same associations that have benefited George Junior. Could it be that naming a "department of homeland security" after the S.S.'s famous reference as being the "department of Home Nation Police" is just a coincidence?
There is also the Reichstag fire in Germany, in which Hitler allowed a few famous German buildings to be torched by a feeble-minded simpleton who he aided and abetted beforehand, then later used the fires as an excuse to "tighten security" and "suspend the German constitution." This is just as Bush is using 9-11 as an excuse to pass the Patriot Act and suspend our constitutional rights. In the same vein he is blocking out any meaningful debate on the mainstream media such as Fascist A.M. radio where Clear Channel, which has tight Republican connections, owns most of the radio stations.
No, you will never see any of this in the mainstream media, even if you yell it from the rooftops. Even if you scream it at the top of your lungs, the bewildered herd will pass you as it stops-up its ears to protect denial. Yes, George Bush became a master propaganda artist and one can tell that he took extra time studying Hitler's book, Mein Kampf, which got him his best C at Yale ever.
"All propaganda must be popular and its intellectual level must be adjusted to the most limited intelligence among those it is addressed to. Consequently, the greater the mass it is intended to reach, the lower its purely intellectual level will have to be. But if, as in propaganda for sticking out a war, the aim is to influence a whole people, we must avoid excessive intellectual demands on our public, and too much caution cannot be extended in this direction."
Well, I guess that says it all in a nutshell. Only one place can say it better, with entertaining music from A Clockwork Orange, an interesting photo collage and funny lyrics in one comical Internet documentary: http://www.takebackthemedia.com/bushnonazi.html.
I highly recommend it if you want to develop a sense of humor about the whole situation. Until then, Heil Bush!

you often here about the savage turmoil pow's had suffered under.

a certain senators comes to mind when that topic is mentioned.

Yet what you don't hear of are the children kept under similar tumultuous conditions in the scorching heat of the American concentration camp in Cuba ( not subjected to inspection as it is outside the nations borders).

These kids are tormented and abused by sadistic prison guards and have zero representation to offer their version of events which lead to the capture by foreign, american, troops).

These children are most probobly victims of pedophiles who come to give them their "last rights".


It is Crucial that we make enough noise to secure their freedom.
These people have been tortured and their destiny violated, yet we are "our Brothers KeePers" and We shall free our younger brothers locked as political prisoners for nothing theyv'e Committed.

I suggest we set up a room with them tied up and suggest that a group of lefties can go over there and untie them..
if they get their necks broken well hmm ...woops..
by jbusch
You refer to these brigands as children repeatedly. You can not possibly be serious. These thugs were captured in a war zone, firing on our troops, without insignia, command structure, and often disguised as civilians. They are prirates. Outlaws. Brigands. Terrorists. Thugs. That is why they are not legitimate POW's. They violated basic rules of war, and are not entitled to the same treatment as legitimate soldiers.

It is disgusting that you have more (or any) compassion for them, than you do for the Afgani women they executed, or the real children they orphaned with their vile Islamist totalitarianism.
by get your facts straight
They are patriots, defenders of their country against foreign invaders.

If your country was invaded, you'd do the same.
by duh
They were foreign invaders. They were not Afghanis. They came from many Arab countries to kill and conquest. They conquered Afghanistan. They attacked America. And we handed their asses to them.

Patriots? Go suck bin Laden's dick.
by jbusch
Are you unable to make moral distinctions? Do you think the Taliban terror was home-grown patriotism? The Taliban were outsiders, who took over Afganistan and instituted a brutal Islamic tyranny over the people there. You call these beasts patriots? Disgusting. They were fighting to protect their own power over the locals, not "their country".
The (moral) difference, which I am sure you are unable to fathom, is that if I were to defend MY country, against invaders I would be fighting to preserve an elected democratic republic that protects my liberty. I would not be fighting to preserve a brutal, medevil theocracy.

The Guantanamo Thirteen
Packing on the pounds at America's toughest prison.
By Manny Howard
Posted Thursday, May 29, 2003, at 11:52 AM PT

Is America the only country in the world that could run a prison camp where prisoners gain weight? Between April 2002 and March 2003, the Joint Task Force returned to Afghanistan 19 of the approximately 664 men (from 42 countries) who have been held in the detention camps at the U.S. Naval Base in Guantanamo Bay. Upon leaving, it has been reported, each man received two parting gifts: a brand new copy of the Koran as well as a new pair of jeans. Not the act of generosity that it might first appear, the jeans, at least, turned out to be a necessity. During their stay (14-months on average), the detainees (nearly all of them) had gained an average of 13 pounds.

Human rights critics insist there's another explanation. "Life as a Talib conscript was probably hell," explains John Sifton, an attorney who works in Afghanistan for Human Rights Watch, an international human rights organization. "Those guys showed up [at GTMO] half-starved, some of them probably hadn't had a proper hot meal since the war began. It wouldn't be hard to put on weight."

Wednesday April 23, 2003

The US military has admitted that children aged 16 years and younger are among the detainees being tortured at its prison camp in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
Lieutenant Colonel Barry Johnson, a US military spokesman, yesterday said all the teenagers being held were "captured as active combatants against US forces", and described them as "enemy combatants".

The children, some of whom have been held at Guantanamo for over a year, are imprisoned in separate cells from the adult detainees, Lt Col Johnson said. He would say only that the teenagers are "very few, a very small number" and would not say how old the youngest prisoner is.

The US military confirmed their presence yesterday after Australia's ABC television reported that CHILDREN were being kept in Guantanamo, the controversial detention centre where prisoners from the war in Afghanistan have been held without bail by the US, in breach of the Geneva conventions, for 2 years.

The news sparked outrage from human rights groups already campaigning against the indefinite detention of the roughly 660 males from 42 countries, held on Suspicion of having links to al-Qaida or Afghanistan's ousted Taliban regime. They have yet to be charged or allowed access to lawyers.

"That the US sees nothing wrong with holding CHILDREN at Guantanamo and torturing them is a shocking indicator of how cavalier the Bush administration has become about respecting human rights," said an Amnesty International spokesman, Alistair Hodgett.

Human Rights Watch said the US was exacerbating a contentious situation. "[The detention of youths] reflects our broader concerns that the US never properly determined the LEGAL status of the ONES kept in the conflict," said James Ross, legal adviser for Human Rights Watch in New York.

Lt Col Johnson said the juveniles were being held because "they have POTENTIAL to provide important information in the ongoing war on terrorism".

"Their release is contingent on the determination that they are not a threat to the [US] nation and have no FURTHER Intelligence VALUE."

Lt Col Johnson said officials determined that some detainees were younger than 16 during medical and other screenings after their arrival in Cuba. He added that all the prisoners aged under 16 years were brought to Guantanamo after January 1 2002 - suggesting that some were 15 or younger when they were first imprisoned.

In September 2002, Canadian officials reported that a 15-year-old Canadian had been captured on July 27 after being badly wounded in a firefight in eastern Afghanistan. CANADA's prime minister, Jean Chrétien said he was seeking CONSULAR access TO the BOY.

Last week, Toronto's Globe and Mail newspaper reported that the youth, now 16, is being kept in Guantanamo and that US OFFICIALS have refused access to Canadian officials.

The newspaper quoted UNIDENTIFIED CLAIMS who had said that the youth allegedly threw a grenade that killed Sergeant 1st Class Christopher James Speer, 28, of Albuquerque, New Mexico.

The Globe and Mail said US officials would want to interrogate the Canadian because his father has been identified as a senior financial leader of al-Qaida.

Lawyers have blamed the indefinite detentions for increasing depression and suicide attempts at the camp, which received the first detainees in January 2001.

According to the US military, there have been 25 SUICIDE ATTEMPTS by 17 PRISONERS at Camp X-RAY, with 15 attempts made this year.

Just this Monday the US military announced that one prisoner, who it said was under supervision in the ACUTE care unit of a new MENTAL healthward, made a repeated SUICIDE ATTEMPT.

Just because a murderer is under 18 does not make him "sacred". It is one of the strangest qualities of modern leftism that it can not seem to make any value distinctions whatsoever. Teenage murderers (or in this case un-uniformed "soldiers") are somehow elevated to high moral status because of their age and assumed innocence. What about the women these creeps executed for adultery, or beat for exposing an ankle in public? What about the evil that they have done?
by until proven innocent, with no trial!
A four year old Arab could be deemed an asset as long as he provides intelligence and if his relatives were "higher ups" in the echelon of the governments of that nation.

He has forfeited his Rights to a lawyer, or any other representations deemed "appropriate" for minors under usual Conditions.

He was captured in the midst of war and was not on the side of the "good fellas" therefore he will be detained indefinitely without the surviving members of his family being aware of HIS whereabouts.

And for your information, the four year old has grown a whole inch since he was captured by the liberators of Afghanistan and has developed ADD, due to the additive rich food we serve him and the other minor inmates.

They also have gotten a copy of the quran, because the US has a policy of toleration to Religious minorities

by jbusch
A murderous, theocratic regime is deposed, and all you can worry about is "additive rich food" that supposedly caused a kid to get ADD????

With all the pain and suffering inflicted on the Afgani's, I would think there are larger things to worry about.

>They were not Afghanis.


Some were imigrants and some were native born. Surely you are not implying that immigrants can't be patriotic, are you?


>They came from many Arab countries to kill and conquest. They conquered Afghanistan.

The so-called "Afghan-Arabs" came to Afghanistan to save it from godless communism. They were actively encouraged, armed and poaid buy the United States.


>They attacked America.

That's one version of the story. Where's the evidence.

>And we handed their asses to them.

The war has just begin. There will be two, three, many 9/11s before it is over.

>The Taliban were outsiders,

That's absurd. Your ignorance is showing. Go do your home work.. Then come back and talk like you know what you're talking about.

If you care so much, and have credible information about "sadistic American prison guards", then why dont you communicate that to the press, your congressman, and the Justice Department. Your rants here are useless, except to propagandize gullible, paranoid anti-Bush leftists to further street protests. If you honestly care about these "kids" then by all means, help them.

by jbusch
In Abraham's heroic, and simplistic view of the world, jennifer, anti-war activists are "true" to American principles, and are the true patriots. Anyone who disagrees with them is a knuckle-dragging neandertal, fascist, homophobe (or homosexual)- a monkey, a CIA spy, a drunken frat boy, a Jew-loving moron, etc..etc. etc. Been called all those things in the weeks I have been posting.
No one I have ever met or talked to is 'pro" war, anymore than "pro-going to the dentist". It is, sadly, something that nations have to resort to from time to time to avoid a greater evil.

where we differ with snickering rightists such as jbusch is in our opposition to private capital's reign of terror and misery and environmental destruction.

by jbusch
So, Soviet Russia and North Korea are not Communist enough for you? What about China? Have you ever been there? It is hard to describe real environmental devastation until you have been to a Communist country.

Profit before people is the motto of them capitalist, and yours also-jbusch?

you are arguing that Communism had caused china to undergo an enviornmental disaster.

What was the cause for the exact same phenomenon in Israel- zionism?

Since the creation of the Zionist state, this once pristine land was devestated into a nuclear waste dump...and the olive trees have all been up-rooted!

There was a saviour however, who risked his life to warn the masses of the potential impending doom of Israel's nuclear stock pile.
For this display of courage Mr. vananu was lured to Italy from England and later kidnapped by Israeli under cover agents who placed him on a ship going to Israel and he's been in mandatory confinement ever since.
(Sources confide that it was Shimon Peres- the architect of Israels' nuclear arsenal who demanded his execution yet later his imprisonment)

No, profits do not come before people. Profit is tangible proof that resources are not being wasted. The profit motive is what has fueled technology, and reduced waste of ever single resource you can name. Waste costs money. When better (cheaper or more efficient) means can be developed, the profit motive rewards them.

I have seen pictures of the corner of ANWR that is being discussed for drilling, and don't really see what all the fuss is about. It is a muddy, mosquito infested plain, frozen for 9 months a year. Of all places on earth it seems to be one of the least objectionable to drill for oil. What about "energy independence" so we don't have to relie upon unstable sources in the Mid East? Seems like it is damned if we don't, damned if we do....

I know, I know, the 'real' solution is the pie in the sky.....technologies that don't yet exist...

Everything has a cost, folks. You have to choose between real, physical alternatives. Is drilling on a few hundred (or even thousand) acres of tundra better or worse than drilling offshore, or in the Mid East....you decide.
by The pendulum moves towards the "economy&
you fail to realize that the economy benefits from trees being uprooted.

a 1,000 year old uprooted tree in palestine is worth a fortune on the black market.
by aaron
My point, jbusch, is that the Russian, Chinese, N Korean (etc etc) stalinist hell-holes were not communist, but instead state capitalist. These states centralized power in the hands of a "red bourgeoisie" which developed (and profited from) a national economy based not on the over-throw of wage-labor but its extension. Stalin's plundering of the peasantry was a form of "primitive accumulation" directly analogous to the colonial theft and exploitation that were indispensible to the historical emergence of your vaunted "free market capitalism." The "communists" of Russia and China built a statified form of capitalism in the absence of a national "private" bourgeosie capable of doing the job. Russia was more capitalist in 1990 than it was in 1917. Likewise, China was more capitalist in 1976 (at the end of Mao's rule) than in 1949.
+++++

Your argument defending capitalism's environmental sensitivity treats the market as some sort of gigantic brain and is, simply, laughable. Even conservative economists concede that the market has externalities (an innocuous way of saying capital fucks shit up big time) that it fails to register. (But, I guess Sean Hannity hasn't broken that one down for you.) Capital's unrelenting need to grow and maintain a rate of profit compels it to ravage the planet without blinking. The fact that over time the despoiling of the water, air, and earth doesn't serve capitalism as a system all that well is ultimately no deterrent to on-going destruction in the dog-eat-dog of competitive capitalism.

Instead of fudging from some tawdry Ayn Rand pamphlet why don't you look at the real world of clear-cuts, species depletion, soil erosion, global climatic change and all the other wonders of capitalism today.
by Scottie
a political ideology also has to be at least a locally stable political state.
This is why the conumists created their stalinist stae - because they knew that "pure comunism" is not a stable state.
by jbusch
So, you are basing your utopia on hypothetical societies that have never existed. How convenient. I am talking about actual, self-described Communist societies. I have 3 co-workers who grew up in Beijing during the Mao years, so spare me the Marxist theory. There is no way you can understand the deprivations and horror of those years.
Keep dreaming about your perfect, controlled society, with no "externalities". Meanwhile, real people here on earth have to eat, wash, build homes, and live their lives. Capitalism is clearly the best system ever devised to do this, because it ISNT devised! It is the result of millions of human brains seeking the best, most profitable way to do things. It ain't perfect, but it beats any politically contrived system in history.
By the way, I never watched "Hannity", and think Ayn Rand is tedious. Fredrich Hayek is a much better spokesman for freedom than any talking head or dogmatic novelist.
