... Among the US corporations that were financing the Nazis were J P Morgan, T W Lamont, The Rockefellers, Standard Oil, National City Bank, Chase and Manhattan Banks, Kuhn Loeb and Company, Union Banking Company led by George Herbert Walker, George Bush senior’s grandfather, and Prescott Bush who was one of only seven shareholders in UBC, a New York bank for the leading Nazi banker and supporter Fritz Thyssen, Brown Brothers Harriman led by Avril Harriman, the railroad tycoon, and Prescott Bush ... In 1933 General Electric made payments to strengthen the Nazi party which helped put the uniforms on Himmler and his SS street-thugs ... Albert Speer and his Gestapo staff employed IBM machines. The Secret Plan of the New World Order
After World War I Germany fell into the hands of the German international bankers. Those bankers bought her and they now own her lock, stock and barrel. They have purchased her industries, they have mortgages on her soil, they control her production, they control all her public utilities ... The international German bankers have subsidised the present government of Germany and they have also supplied every dollar of the money Adolf Hitler has used in his lavish campaign to build up a threat to the government of [Heinrich] Brüning. Louis McFadden
The Federal Reserve board ... has pumped so many billions of dollars into Germany that they dare not name the total. Louis McFadden
In the spring of 1934 a select group of City financiers gathered around Montagu Norman in his windowless building of the Bank of England in Threadneedle Street. Mr Norman advised his directors to include Hitler in their plans. There was no opposition, and it was decided that Hitler should get covert help from London’s financial section until Mr Norman had succeeded in putting sufficient pressure on the government to make it abandon its pro-French policy to a more pro-German orientation. Howard Katz, The Warmongers, citing Chicago newspaper article 2nd November 1938
In the early 1940s the I G Farben Chemical Company employed a Polish salesman who sold cyanide to the Nazis for use in Auschwitz. The same salesman also worked as a chemist in the manufacture of the poison gas. This same cyanide gas along with Zyklon B and Malathion was used to exterminate millions of Jews and other groups. Their bodies were then burned to ashes in the ovens. After the war the salesman, fearing for his life, joined the Catholic Church and was ordained a priest in 1946. One of his closest friends was Dr Wolf Szmuness, the mastermind behind the November/78 to October/79 and March/80 to October/81 experimental hepatitis B vaccine trials conducted by the Center for Disease Control in New York, San Francisco and four other American cities that loosed the plague of AIDS upon the American people. The salesman was ordained Poland’s youngest bishop in 1958. After a 30-day reign his predecessor was assassinated and our ex-cyanide gas salesman assumed the papacy as Pope John Paul II.
1990 is the right time with the right leaders: ex-chief of the KGB Mikhail Gorbachev, ex-chief of the CIA George Bush, ex-Nazi cyanide gas salesman Pope John Paul II, all bound by an unholy alliance to ring in the New World Order. Bill Cooper, Secret Societies/New World Order
Swiss banks stand accused of collaborating with the Nazis. But it wasn’t just Swiss bankers who dealt with Hitler’s Reich. New evidence shows that many who financed him came from uncomfortably closer to home. Banking with Hitler, 1998
[Henry] Morgenthau’s diaries reveal an astonishing story of how national and commercial banks created a system which helped finance the Nazis. ibid.
The great national banks of Europe opened an account at BIS and settled their debts by gold and credit transfer. ibid.
In America the danger of the growing BIS was realized by Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau. ibid.
One of Germany’s first acts was to demand the gold held in Austria’s name in the BIS be transferred ... Twenty-two tons of gold. ibid.
£6,000,000 was credited to the Reichsbank. When the Bank of England’s actions became known they called uproar in the Houses of Parliament. ibid.
Former Reichsbank president and early Hitler supporter Hjalmar Schacht was placed in a concentration camp in 1944 for his part in a failed plot against Hitler. ibid.
When Holland then Belgium fell the Reichsbank looted their gold. Some of that gold made its way to the BIS. ibid.
Its constitution gave it diplomatic immunity. ibid.
Throughout the war Germany was drawing dividends on its investments in the bank [BIS] including those of some of the countries it had conquered. ibid.
The apparent closeness of BIS’s relationship with the Axis powers was viewed with alarm by a growing US team of Treasury investigators. ibid.
The Bank of England was continuing to receive interest from the Reichsbank for pre-war investments in Germany through the BIS. ibid.
But not all delegates at Bretton Woods were so convinced: representing the view of the Bank of England and British Treasury, economist Maynard Keynes, went to see Morgenthau, and in an off-the-record meeting argued that the BIS should not be closed down, since the bank would be needed for post-war reconstruction. ibid.
US Treasury investigations also cited other banks in France as having cooperated with the Nazis. ibid.
A report by Faber names both National Westminster’ and Barclays’ employees acting beyond the control of their London officers as having volunteered to the Germans that they had Jewish staff. ibid.
Seven French banks and Barclays are being sued for any Jewish assets. ibid.
In 1998 a group of Swiss banks agreed to pay more than one billion dollars to people who survived the holocaust and to the families of those who did not. ibid.
The Nazis had been stripping even the most intimate possessions of their victims. ibid.
The following year BIS directors and Reichsbank vice-president Emil Puhl were tried and convicted of crimes against humanity for his involvement in laundering the gold of murdered Jews. ibid.
No further action was taken against the Chase, Barclays or Westminster Bank. ibid.
What would have happened if millions of American and British people, struggling with coupons and lines at the gas stations, had learned that in 1942 Standard Oil of New Jersey [part of the Rockefeller empire] managers shipped the enemy’s fuel through neutral Switzerland and that the enemy was shipping Allied fuel? Suppose the public had discovered that the Chase Bank in Nazi-occupied Paris after Pearl Harbor was doing millions of dollars’ worth of business with the enemy with the full knowledge of the head office in Manhattan [the Rockefeller family among others]? Or that Ford trucks were being built for the German occupation troops in France with authorization from Dearborn, Michigan? Or that Colonel Sosthenes Behn, the head of the international American telephone conglomerate ITT, flew from New York to Madrid to Berne during the war to help improve Hitler’s communications systems and improve the robot bombs that devastated London? Or that ITT built the FockeWulfs that dropped bombs on British and American troops? Or that crucial ball-bearings were shipped to Nazi-associated customers in Latin America with the collusion of the vice-chairman of the US War Production Board in partnership with Goering’s cousin in Philadelphia when American forces were desperately short of them? Or that such arrangements were known about in Washington and either sanctioned or deliberately ignored? Charles Higham
In the future we may have to deal with a Europe dominated by Germany. Charles Lindbergh
There was a strong anti-British antipathy in certain parts of the country. It was felt that Britain was trying very hard to drag us into its war. Norman Corwin, radio commentator

The century on which we are entering – the century which will come out of this war – can be and must be the century of the common man. Henry Wallace, speech 8th May 1942
In 1926 build houses light with straw and sticks.
But then shall mighty wars be planned
And fire and sword shall sweep the land.
For those who live the century through
In fear and trembling this shall do
For storms shall rage and oceans roar
When Gabriel stands on sea and shore.
And as he blows his wondrous horn
All the world shall die and new be born. Mother Shipton
Near the gates and within the two cities
There will be two scourges the like of which was never seen,
Famine within plague, people put out by steel,
Crying to the great immortal God for relief. Nostradamus II-6
I am Goya
of the bare field, by the enemy’s beak gouged
till the craters of my eyes gape,
I am grief,
I am the tongue
of war, the embers of cities
on the snows of the year 1941
I am hunger. Andrei Voznesensky, Goya
In the nightmare of the dark
All the dogs of Europe bark,
And the living nations wait,
Each sequestered in its hate. W H Auden, In Memory of W B Yeats, 1940
