Is it Coincidental? The Bush family had close links with Nazi Germany, the bin Laden family and the Mexican Drug cartel. 


Two members of th Bush dynasty acceded to the White House. Had the US public been fully informed by the media, who in America would have voted for George W. Bush? 


Bush Family Links to Nazi Germany


Grandpa Prescott Sheldon Bush “was a director and shareholder of companies that profited from their involvement with the financial backers of Nazi Germany.” (The Guardian, September 2004)


The American public was not aware of the links of the Bush family to Nazi Germany because the historical record had been carefully withheld.


Prescott S. Bush’s assets were seized in 1942 by the Roosevelt Administration under the Trading with the Enemy Act,




GWB’s Dad “Poppy”, George Herbert Walker Bush (Prescott’s son) became CIA director, and then Vice President under Reagan before becoming President of the US (1989-1993).

Friends with the bin Ladens


The Bush family were friends with the bin Ladens from Saudi Arabia.


They were business partners.  Osama bin Laden was recruited by the CIA to serve as “A Freedom Fighter” in the Soviet-Afghan War before becoming “Enemy Number One” and “Terror Mastermind” of the 9/11 attacks.


“He changed sides, he went against us” (paraphrase). It’s called the “blowback” when an “intelligence asset” is said to “have gone against their sponsors”; “what we’ve created blows back in our face.”(UPI, 15 September 2001).


In a twisted logic, the US government and the CIA were portrayed as the ill-fated victims:



The sophisticated methods taught to the Mujahideen, and the thousands of tons of arms supplied to them by the US – and Britain – are now tormenting the West in the phenomenon known as `blowback’, whereby a policy strategy rebounds on its own devisers. (The Guardian, 15 September 2001)



The 9/11 Attacks


Coincidence? On September 11, 2001, former president George H. W. Bush (“Poppy”) met Shafiq bin Laden, brother of  Osama at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Washington. Nothing wrong. It was a business meeting. Shafiq was “a guest of honour at the Carlyle Group’s Washington conference”. He was mingling with “fellow investors” including former secretary of defense Frank Carlucci and former secretary of state James Baker III.


Careful timing: Shafiq was one among 7 members of the bin Laden family who were hastily invited to leave the United States on September 19th, one day prior to president Bush’s  historic address to the US Congress: “Either you are with us or you are with the terrorists”.


Since 1979, both the Bin Laden family and The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia have provided financial aid to Al Qaeda which was sponsored by the CIA. Visibly, Shafiq and the Bin Ladens were not invited to attend Bush’s September 20 address which “officially” consisted in launching the “Global War on Terrorism”.



“We will make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbor them”.



But there is always an “Exception that the Proves the Rule”  and that is George W. Bush himself.

Links to Mexico’s Drug Lords


GWB’s brother Jeb Bush, former governor of the Sunshine State was a buddy of Raul Salinas de Gortiari who had ties to Mexico’s Drug-lord Juan Garcia Abrego.


And “Poppy” Bush was a friend of Raul’s dad Raul Salinas Lozano, who was a leading figure in narcotics dealings.


And when George H. Walker Bush was president he signed the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) with President Carlos Salinas de Gortiari, son of drug lord Salinas Lozana together with Canada’s Prime Minister Brian Mulroney.   


George H. W. Bush, the dad of  Bush Junior had developed close personal ties with Carlos Salinas de Gortari (former president of Mexico) and his dad Raul Salinas Lozano who, according to the Dallas Morning News (February 27, 1997) was “a leading figure in narcotics dealings that also involved his son, Raul Salinas de Gortari…  And Raul was an intimo amigo of  Jeb Bush, (former Governor of Florida) and the brother of  George W, Bush.



“There has also been a great deal of speculation in Mexico about the exact nature of Raul Salinas’ close friendship with former President George Bush’s son, Jeb. It is well known here that for many years the two families spent vacations together — the Salinases at Jeb Bush’s home in Miami, the Bushes at Raul’s ranch, Las Mendocinas, under the volcano in Puebla. There are many in Mexico who believe that the relationship became a back channel for delicate and crucial negotiations between the two governments, leading up to President Bush’s sponsorship of NAFTA.” (Houston Chronicle, 9 March 1995)


“witnesses say former Mexican president Carlos Salinas de Gortiari, his imprisoned brother Raul and other members of the country’s ruling elite met with drug lord Juan Garcia Abrego at a Salinas family ranch; Jeb Bush admits he met with Raul Salinas several times but has never done any business with him”  Andres Openheimer,  (Miami Herald, February 17 1997)



The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)


One of the signatories of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) Mexican was president Carlos Salinas de Gortiari together with president Bush senior and Prime Minister Brian Mulroney. 


President Salinas de Gortiari’s links to the Mexican Drug Cartel was withheld until after the signing of NAFTA agreement. George H. W. Bush Senior administration was fully aware of the links of the Salinas presidency to organized crime. Public opinion in the US and Canada was never informed so as not to jeopardize the signing of NAFTA:



“Other former officials say they were pressured to keep mum because Washington was obsessed with approving NAFTA”.


“The intelligence on corruption, especially by drug traffickers, has always been there,” said Phil Jordan, who headed DEA’s Dallas office from 1984 to 1994. But “we were under instructions not to say anything negative about Mexico. It was a no-no since NAFTA was a hot political football.” (Dallas Morning News, 26 February 1997)



Ask yourself, is NAFTA a legal agreement when one of signatories is linked to organized crime? Not to mention the fact that Carlos Salinas de Gortiari was an intimo amigo of George H. W. Bush.


Had this been known, the NAFTA agreement would not have seen the light of day.

That’s summarizes the Bush  family history.


The Nazis, the Bin Ladens and the Mexican Drug Lords…


Two Presidents, One Vice President, A CIA Director, a Senator and a Governor. Not to mention key positions in Wall Street and the Texas Oil Industry.


Without the falsification of  American history sustained by extensive media disinformation, the Bushes would never have acceded to high office.
