Bushmen Are Crawling All Over The Place

Found one at a funeral.

In the entry titled Backseat Driver, I hinted how George Bush Sr. could be running the show behind his son’s government. Now, I am pretty sure that is the case. On the anniversary of the 911 tragedy, I saw on television the US Ambassador to the UK addressing a memorial ceremony. His name? William Farish III. According to Bush’s unauthorised biography:

When George Bush was elected Vice President in 1980, Texas mystery man William (“Will”) Stamps Farish III took over management of all of George Bush’s personal wealth in a “blind trust.” Known as one of the richest men in Texas, Will Farish keeps his business affairs under the most intense secrecy. Only the source of his immense wealth is known, not its employment

So, what was the source? Webster and Chaitkin, the authors of the biography, explain:

On March 25, 1942, U.S. Assistant Attorney General Thurman Arnold announced that William Stamps Farish (grandfather of the President’s money manager) had pled “no contest” to charges of criminal conspiracy with the Nazis. Farish was the principal manager of a worldwide cartel between Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey and the I.G. Farben concern. The merged enterprise had opened the Auschwitz slave labor camp on June 14, 1940, to produce artificial rubber and gasoline from coal. The Hitler government supplied political opponents and Jews as the slaves, who were worked to near death and then murdered.

Arnold disclosed that Standard Oil of N.J. (later known as Exxon), of which Farish was president and chief executive, had agreed to stop hiding from the United States patents for artificial rubber which the company had provided to the Nazis.
