Interview with RFK Jr. in PR Week:
PRWeek: Have you had any indication that the national media will take another look at this issue?
Kennedy: I had a good indication [June 7]. The New York Times, as its lead editorial, did a piece on [Ohio secretary of state] Kenneth Blackwell’s current efforts to suppress registration drives in Ohio. And the Republicans are doing the same thing in Florida, and the Times talked about that, as well.
PRWeek: What reaction have you seen from the general public?
Kennedy: There’s a huge reaction. Rolling Stone told me that it’s gotten two and a half times as many e-mails [about this article] as it’s ever gotten for any other story in its history. So there’s a huge appetite for this story.
PRWeek: This story didn’t have a ’smoking gun’; was there one person coordinating this entire operation?
Kennedy: There’s never going to be 100% certitude that the election was stolen, because the only way you could get that is by recounting the ballots, and the recount was illegally derailed by Republican operatives. The mastermind behind the efforts in Ohio was Kenneth Blackwell, along with…[Toledo elections official] Bernadette Noe. But on a national level, it’s [Republican National Committee chairman] Kenneth Mehlman and Karl Rove.
PRWeek: Have you gotten any reaction from the Republican Party on this?
Kennedy: I’ve gotten, certainly, reaction in the blogosphere. But most of the reaction has been supportive.
PRWeek: Is there a next step?
Kennedy: I’ve been meeting with attorneys… to devise a litigation strategy. And I would say that very soon we’ll be announcing lawsuits against some of the individuals and companies involved.
PRWeek: Who exactly would that litigation be targeting?
Kennedy: I wouldn’t say, right now.PRWeek: The election is over. Is it too late now?
Kennedy: There’s another election soon. And as the Times [just] reported, the same people are up to the same shenanigans.
what a joke, a kenendy filing a lawsuit, the guy who’s uncle is still
senator after dumping Mary Jo Kopechinie in Chappaquiddick and now ahs a son following in his footsteps popping pills , driving a car into the capitol and saying in a stupor he was there to vote at 3am.
lol
Hi, Tish.
Nice to see you here.
Great comment!
Cogent, on-point, and superbly reasoned.
I look forward to more enlightenment from you in the future.
Tish:
I gave your rather short response to my MBA class in critcal thinking and they could only scratch their heads. What a red herring argument they said. It is like saying Bush is a fascist because of his grandads:
Both Bush’s grandfather’s palled around with sympathizers to the Nazi cause, with George Herbert Walker the worse of the two and grandfather Prescott Bush even worse as he dealt with Nazi Germany before and during WWII.
The Bushes don’t like to talk about their past but business dealings and government actions are a matter of public record.
In 1919, Missouri deal-maker Bert Walker became the president and CEO of the W.A. Harriman and co. bank, which became one of the largest companies in the world. In 1922, the Harriman company set up a branch in Berlin under the residency of George H. Walker. In 1924, the Harriman company spun off the Union Banking Corporation, also run by Bert. The UBC was established to send American capital to Germany to finance the reorganization of its industry under the Nazis. Their leading German partner was the notorious Nazi industrialist Fritz Thyssen, who wrote a book admitting much of this called “I Paid Hitler.” An article called Nazis In The Attic states boldly, “Walker was one of Hitler’s most powerful financial supporters in the United States.” and gives other details.
Samuel Prescott Bush, father to Prescott, was an Ohio manufacturer and close advisor to President Herbert Hoover. During WWI, Samuel was director of the facilities division of the US War Industries Board under Bernard Baruch. In 1920, Harriman and Bert Walker gain control of the German Hamburg-Amerika Line, said to be the world’s largest private shipping line which had been confiscated by the US after the war. Still, while many of his business deals are with shady people who were more involved with the Nazis, Samuel himself wasn’t a major player.
Prescott Bush was a major player. In addition to having ties with most of his father-in-laws friends (notably the Harrimans) and companies (notably the Union Banking Corporation), Bert hired Prescott to supervise the new Thyssen/Flish Consolidated Silesian Steel Corporation and the Upper Silesian Coal and Steel Company. John Loftus, a former Justice Department prosecutor whose latest series of lectures is on The Truth About Terrorism, has published a number of books about the Nazis and WWII. The page on Loftus’ site linked above is from a Clamor magazine article by Toby Rogers entitled Heir to the Holocaust and also says, “Prescott Bush became managing director of UBC and handled the day-to-day operations of the new German economic plan. Bush’s shares in UBC peaked with Hitler’s new German order. But while production rose, cronyism did as well.” and “According to classified documents from Dutch intelligence and US government archives, President George W. Bush’s grandfather, Prescott Bush made considerable profits off Auschwitz slave labor.” Rogers says this information came from “A Dutch intelligence agent in 1941,” before we were at war with Germany. While the companies were seized by the Germans during the war, claims Cecil, Rogers points out that Prescott was eventually paid $1.5 million for his interest in UBC after Thyssen died and the companies assets were unfrozen.
Dealing with Nazi Germany, and even financing Hitler, may have been ethically and morally repugnant, even at the time, but they weren’t illegal until Hitler declared war on the US. Six days after Pearl Harbor, FDR signed the Trading With the Enemies Act. By then, most (though not all) of the companies that had been doing business with Hitler’s war machine had stopped. But not Prescott Bush and the Union Banking Corporation. Writes Rogers, “Prescott Bush continued with business as usual, aiding the Nazi invasion of Europe and supplying resources for weaponry that would eventually be turned on American solders in combat against Germany.” Citing the Tarpley book, this site goes on to say that on October 20, 1942, UBC assets in New York were seized under the act, and “On October 28, the government issued orders seizing two Nazi front organizations run by the bank (in which Bush was a partner): the Holland-America Trading Corporation and the Seamless Steel Equipment Corporation…U.S. forces landed under fire near Algiers on November 8, 1942; Nazi interests in the Silesian-American corporation, long managed by Prescott Bush and his father-in-law, George Herbert Walker, were seized under the Trading with the Enemy Act, on Nov. 17, 1942.”
Take this and the definition of fascism and you have a fascist White House.
Try some real logic Tish, not the talking points trash you get from Fox faux-News and Karl Rove. Be an independent thinker. If you support Bush you have to be a supporter of fascism, if you read enough to know what it is.
