The secret history of George Bush

The position of President of the United States of America is one of the most high profile, and highly scrutinised role in the World. Think back to the media hype surrounding the Barack Obama election campaign and the investigation into his family history, his birth, his background. Every aspect of his birth and life was scrutinised from supposed links to Islam, to possible birth outside the US. There is no doubt that the personal life of any Presidential candidate will be subjected to this sort of scrutiny, but there is one interesting difference which is the reason for considering Obama and comparing his treatment by the press with, just for arguments sake, his predecessor George W. Bush, and perhaps more importantly his father George H. W. Bush. The Bush family are considered an establishment upper class American success story with a strong history in finance, the oil industry and the armaments industry. In the run up to the election of George the elder there was certainly media interest in the role of his predecessor Preston Bush and his work as a financier to Nazi German in the run up to and during the Second World War, but what was less closely scrutinised was the suggestion that George H. W. Bush may not be a Bush at all.

There is evidence that the truth is one of the strangest stories in politics, and reads like a classic spy novel, but bear with it. As the second World War developed and the allies began to establish greater strength and senior figures within the Nazi party began to question the strategic decisions of Adolf Hitler and the progress of the War plans were put in place to ensure that key military, scientific and financial figures could ensure their safety. This is a tactic that has a long established history. Often the figures behind the power throughout mediaeval Europe would back both sides in a conflict to ensure their personal success and it was in this tradition that the German power brokers operated. Many had already established links with the United States in the inter war years and one of the most established was the scientist Nicola Tesla who had worked for Thomas Edisons company and had established himself with several leading US financially powerful families, eventually moving to America and taking dual Serbian and American nationality. Tesla is key to this story since he employed as his assistant and accountant one George H Schreff, a German national who emigrated to the States with Tesla, bringing his son George H. Schreff jnr.

Tesla repeatedly raised concerns over his assistants young son and the way he would examine Teslas experiments and notebooks, and it appears likely that the Schreffs had been attached to Tesla at the request of senior figures in Nazi Germany to monitor Teslas work and report back. Where this all gets far more interesting is that there is no clear evidence of accurate death certificates of either Schreff senior or junior, and that Schreff senior as well as working for Tesla was also employed by the Union Sulphur company, a company funded and partially owned by the Rockefeller family interests. The Rockefeller family was closely linked to several other European banking families including the Sachs banking institution of Goldman Sachs fame and the Warburg bankers of Germany. Through these links there was a connection to the family of Samuel Prescott Bush and his banking partner Thomas Walker. Returning to the need to develop a plan to escape the collapse of Nazi Germany there was a systematic expunging of family records of senior Nazi party officials and the creation of new identities, often within establishment families that were considered to be above suspicion. This was a process that was begun as early as 1920 as the inevitability of a second European War became apparent and plans began to be laid. So it was the George Shreff senior became Prescott Bush under this scheme, later to repay his debt by using his families bank to fund the Nazi party, and his son became George H. W. Bush, eventually the 41^st President of the United States.

Makes questions over Obamas family history and place of birth seems slightly irrelevant really.
