" 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 1-2-01

 

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 Brittanica, 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 witches 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 - http://vector.cshl.org/eugenics.html - , 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 Labor Linda Chavez (NOTE: she was forced a couple days

ago to withdraw her nomination) -who is outspokenly anti-union-was a research

fellow at the CIA's Manhattan Institute during 1993 and 1994 and has received

almost $200,000 in grants from the John M. Olin Foundation, a notorious

right-wing fund derived from a family business in munitions and chemicals with

roots in white supremacy. Despite her Hispanic surname she is an outspoken

advocate for the English First Movement. Chavez is president of the Center for

Equal Opportunity, based in Washington, D.C. an organization dedicated to

eliminating affirmative action. On their website Chavez quotes Charles Murray,

author of The Bell Curve, a classic of modern racial eugenics which has become

the " bible " for the anti-welfare anti-affirmative action movement.

 

- 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 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

Quale'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 destroying 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 AG 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 that 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 Nazis 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

American Enterprise Institute, two more extreme right-wing think tanks.

- Attorney General John Ashcroft (NOTE: His nomination is strongly

opposed - see the Confirmation Hearings process at

http://dailynews./fc/US/Bush_Administration/ ) 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.

 

- Secretary of Commerce Donald L. Evans is an insider in the Texas " oil

mafia " and is GW's closest friend and confidant. He's also friend, confidant and

contributor to one of America's biggest recipients of government contacts,

Halliburton's Dick Cheney.

 

- Office of Management and Budget Director Mitchell E. Daniels Jr., was

senior executive of the Eli Lilly drug company and was previously the president

of the arch-conservative Hudson Institute. Daniels, who advocates strict

enforcement of laws against casual drug users, was busted for drugs in 1970.
