cumplidor 0 #1 July 25, 2007 I have never heard this before, but it certainly makes a lot of sense considering the recent hijacking of the US by the Executive Branch of the that country. Notice that Prescott Bush was included in this lot of crooks. I'd be interested to hear your opinions and thoughts on its merits. http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/history/document/document_20070723.shtml Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cumplidor 0 #3 July 25, 2007 It is only palatable due to the state of denial that most of the US population operates from. It certainly helps when you own the media and are able to 'advertise' lies and have folks 'buy' it. They just didn't own the media in 1933 like they do now.

SpeedRacer 1 #4 July 25, 2007 Wait, are we talking about the lying liberal leftist bush-bashing media,, or the government-propagandist, sugar-coated, pro-American, corporate controlled media?

freethefly 6 #5 July 25, 2007 Well, Prescott Bush did a great deal to build the Nazi war machine. He made a small fortune on the deaths of millions. The guy was no better than Hitler himself, a monster whom P.B. admired. Seems the Bush family is just in love with war and watching the innocent die while they fill their pockets with loot.

Dylan said it best..... Come you masters of war You that build all the guns You that build the death planes You that build the big bombs You that hide behind walls You that hide behind desks I just want you to know I can see through your masks You that never done nothin' But build to destroy You play with my world Like it's your little toy You put a gun in my hand And you hide from my eyes And you turn and run farther When the fast bullets fly Like Judas of old You lie and deceive A world war can be won You want me to believe But I see through your eyes And I see through your brain Like I see through the water That runs down my drain You fasten the triggers For the others to fire Then you set back and watch When the death count gets higher You hide in your mansion As young people's blood Flows out of their bodies And is buried in the mud You've thrown the worst fear That can ever be hurled Fear to bring children Into the world For threatening my baby Unborn and unnamed You ain't worth the blood That runs in your veins How much do I know To talk out of turn You might say that I'm young You might say I'm unlearned But there's one thing I know Though I'm younger than you Even Jesus would never Forgive what you do Let me ask you one question Is your money that good Will it buy you forgiveness Do you think that it could I think you will find When your death takes its toll All the money you made Will never buy back your soul And I hope that you die And your death'll come soon I will follow your casket In the pale afternoon And I'll watch while you're lowered Down to your deathbed And I'll stand o'er your grave 'Til I'm sure that you're dead He wrote the song after Eisenhower said this: This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience. The total influence — economic, political, even spiritual — is felt in every city, every statehouse, every office of the federal government. We recognize the imperative need for this development. Yet we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications. Our toil, resources and livelihood are all involved; so is the very structure of our society. In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals so that security and liberty may prosper together. -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

freethefly 6 #7 July 25, 2007 I wonder if that song was part inspiration for Rage Against the Machine's song "Bulls on Parade" What someone wrote on the song; "Bulls on Parade" is a song released by Rage Against the Machine in 1996, and can be found on their second album Evil Empire. One of Rage's signature songs, it deals with what is commonly referred to as the "military-industrial complex", which is the tendency of industry (the arms industry in particular) to encourage military action in order to gain military contracts, and therefore increase its profits. Lines such as "Weapons; not food, not homes, not shoes, not need, just feed the war cannibal-animal," and "what we don't know keeps the contracts alive and moving / they don't gotta burn the books they just remove 'em" are just a couple of examples of the several allusions to the military-industrial complex throughout the song. With the words, "Terror rains, drenching, quenching the thirst of the power dons," the song suggests that the fear of terrorism is used to manipulate the American populace into supporting dubious military action. The phrase "terror rains" also serves as a double entendre, which suggests that "terror reigns" by way of the government terror as a tool. BULLS ON PARADE Come wit it now! Come wit it now! The microphone explodes, shattering the molds Either drop tha hits like de la O or get tha fuck off tha commode Wit tha sure shot, sure ta make tha bodies drop Drop an don't copy yo, don't call this a co-op Terror rains drenchin', quenchin' tha thirst of tha power dons That five sided fist-a-gon Tha rotten sore on tha face of mother earth gets bigger Tha triggers cold empty ya purse Rally round tha family! With a pocket full of shells They rally round tha family! With a pocket full of shells They rally round tha family! With a pocket full of shells They rally round tha family! With a pocket full of shells Weapons not food, not homes, not shoes Not need, just feed the war cannibal animal I walk tha corner to tha rubble that used to be a library Line up to tha mind cemetary now What we don't know keeps tha contracts alive an movin' They don't gotta burn tha books they just remove 'em While arms warehouses fill as quick as tha cells Rally round tha family, pockets full of shells Rally round tha family! With a pocket full of shells They rally round tha family! With a pocket full of shells They rally round tha family! With a pocket full of shells They rally round tha family! With a pocket full of shells Bulls on parade Come wit it now! Come wit it now! Bulls on parade! Bulls on parade! Bulls on parade! Bulls on parade! Bulls on parade!"...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cumplidor 0 #8 July 26, 2007 So that was what your opinion and thoughts consisted of?? Trivializing and minimizing the issue brought forth in the thread?

That sort of attitude would seem to me to contribute much more to the problem rather than help with any sort of a solution. You seem intent on trying to make this relevant to current events and circumstances.... something in need of a solution. From an historical perspective it's pretty interesting and probably pretty embarassing for the Bush family. But this whole President Bush - Nazi connection (or comparison) is so played and yes... trivial, too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps you can tell me what specific acts Prescott Bush carried out, with respect to the alledged 1933 coup attempt. Is there any documentation?
