He was never indicted that I know of, many things were covered up... just as they are now..

Under the Trading with the Enemy Act, the U.S. government took over the Union Banking Corporation, in which Prescott Bush was a director. The U.S. Alien Property Custodian seized Union Banking Corporation stock shares, all of which were owned by E. Roland Harriman, Prescott Bush, three Nazi executives, and two other associates of Prescott Bush.
President Franklin Roosevelt's Alien Property Custodian, Leo T. Crowley, signed Vesting Order Number 248 seizing the property of Prescott Bush under the Trading with the Enemy Act. The order, published in obscure government record books and kept out of the news, explained nothing about the Nazis involved; only that the Union Banking Corporation was run for the Thyssen family of Germany and/or Hungary, nationals of a designated enemy country.

This act by the U.S. government made it clear that Prescott Bush and the other directors of the Union Banking Corp. were in essence front men for the Nazis. By keeping news of this seizure quiet, the American government avoided the more important issue: in what way were Hitler and his Nazi cohorts set up, armed, and supported by the New York and London cartel of which Prescott Bush was an executive manager?

On Oct. 28, the government issued orders seizing two Nazi front organizations run by the Bush-Harriman bank: the Holland-American Trading Corporation and the Seamless Steel Equipment Corporation.

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 November 17, 1942. In this action, the government announced that it was seizing only the Nazi interests, leaving the Nazis' U.S. partners to carry on the business.

These were actions taken by the U.S. government during wartime, but Prescott Bush and his collaborators had already played a central role in financing and arming Adolf Hitler for his takeover of Germany. Harriman, Bush and the others in the cabal had financed the buildup of Nazi war industries for the conquest of Europe and war against the U.S.A. They had also helped in the development of Nazi genocide theories and racial propaganda, with the slave labor and extermination camps as the result.

Bush Senior In Collusion with the Bin Laden Family
Since he left office, ex-President and ex-CIA Director George Bush, working as a consultant, has been using his influence and contacts for the Washington-based Carlyle Group, a $12 billion private equity firm and eleventh largest defense contractor in the U.S. Carlyle's portfolio is heavily invested in defense and telecommunications firms.The Bin Laden family has large investments in Carlyle. The New York Times has reported that former President George Bush met with the bin Laden family in Saudi Arabia in 1998 and 2000.

Bush senior's Carlyle connection means he is on the payroll of corporate interests that receive defense contracts from the U.S. government while his son is president. Charles Lewis of the Washington-based Center for Public Integrity, indicated that "in a really peculiar way, George W. Bush could, some day, benefit financially from his own administration's decisions, through his father's investments."

Bush Senior specializes in Saudi Arabia and therefore has a personal interest in the corrupt Saudi regime's survival and continued profitability. The public-interest law firm Judicial Watch earlier this year strongly criticized Bush senior for his ties with the Bin Laden family, pointing out in a March 5 statement that it is a "conflict of interest [which] could cause problems for America's foreign policy in the Middle East and Asia."

In a Sept. 29 statement, Judicial Watch added that, "This conflict of interest has now turned into a scandal. The idea of the president's father, an ex-president himself, doing business with a company under investigation by the FBI in the terror attacks of September 11 is horrible." Judicial Watch demanded that President Bush make his father pull out of the Carlyle Group.

The New York Times on October 26, 2001 reported that, "The Saudi family of Osama bin Laden is severing its financial ties with the Carlyle Group, a private investment firm known for its connections to influential Washington political figures, executives who have been briefed on the decision said today." Some of those influential figures include George H.W. Bush and his son, President Bush.


George junior is no slouch when it comes to shady deals with the Bin Laden family and other crooked interests such as drugs.


Poppy bush is the only one that doesn't know where he was when Kennedy was assassinated ..once CIA alwasy CIA.

SEC SECRET PROBE OF STOCK
DEALINGS BEFORE 9/11
http://tbrnews.org/Archives/a048.htm
Between August 26 and September 11, 2001, a group of speculators,
identified by the American Securities and Exchange Commission as
Israeli citizens, sold "short" a list of 38 stocks that could
reasonably be expected to fall in value as a result of the pending
attacks. These speculators operated out of the Toronto, Canada and
Frankfurt, Germany, stock exchanges and their profits were
specifically stated to be "in the millions of dollars."
Short selling of stocks involves the opportunity to gain large
profits by passing shares to a friendly third party, then buying them
back when the price falls. Historically, if this precedes a traumatic
event, it is an indication of foreknowledge. It is widely known that
the CIA uses the Promis software to routinely monitor stock trades as
a possible warning sign of a terrorist attack or suspicious economic
behavior. A week after the Sept.11 attacks, the London Times reported
that the CIA had asked regulators for the Financial Services
Authority in London to investigate the suspicious sales of millions
of shares of stock just prior to the terrorist acts. It was hoped the
business paper trail might lead to the terrorists.
Investigators from numerous government agencies are part of a
clandestine but official effort to resolve the market manipulations
There has been a great deal of talk about insider trading of American
stocks by certain Israeli groups both in Canada and Germany between
August 26 and the Sept.11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the
Pentagon.
Lynne Howard, a spokeswoman for the Chicago Board Options Exchange
(CBOE), stated that information about who made the trades was
available immediately. "We would have been aware of any unusual
activity right away. It would have been triggered by any unusual
volume. There is an automated system called 'blue sheeting,' or the
CBOE Market Surveillance System, that everyone in the business knows
about. It provides information on the trades - the name and even the
Social Security number on an account - and these surveillance systems
are set up specifically to look into insider trading. The system
would look at the volume, and then a real person would take over and
review it, going back in time and looking at other unusual activity."
Howard continued, "The system is so smart that even if there is a
news event that triggers a market event it can go back in time, and
even the parameters can be changed depending on what is being looked
at. It's a very clever system and it is instantaneous. Even with the
system, though, we have very experienced and savvy staff in our
market-regulations area who are always looking for things that might
be unusual. They're trained to put the pieces of the puzzle together.
Even if it's offshore, it might take a little longer, but all
offshore accounts have to go through U.S. member firms - members of
the CBOE - and it is easily and quickly identifiable who made the
trades. The member firm who made the trades has to have identifiable
information about the client under the 'Know Your Customer'
regulations (and we share all information with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.)"
Given all of this, at a minimum the CBOE and government regulators
who are conducting the secret investigations have known for some time
who made the options puts on a total of 38 stocks that might
reasonably be anticipated to have a sharp drop in value because of an
attack similar to the 9/11 episode. The silence from the
investigating camps could mean several things: Either terrorists are
responsible for the puts on the listed stocks or others besides
terrorists had foreknowledge of the attack and used this knowledge to
reap a nice financial harvest from the tragedy.
Adam Hamilton of Zeal LLC, a North Dakota-based private consulting
company that publishes research on markets worldwide, stated that "I
heard that $22 million in profits was made on these put options..."
Federal investigators are continuing to be so closed-mouthed about
these stock trades, and it is clear that a much wider net has been
cast, apparently looking for bigger international fish involved in
dubious financial activity relating to the 9/11 attacks on the world
stock markets.
Just a month after the attacks the SEC sent out a list of stocks to
various securities firms around the world looking for information.
The list includes stocks of American, United, Continental, Northwest,
Southwest and US Airways airlines, as well as Martin, Boeing,
Lockheed Martin Corp., AIG, American Express Corp, American
International Group, AMR Corporation, Axa SA, Bank of America Corp,
Bank of New York Corp, Bank One Corp, Cigna Group, CNA Financial,
Carnival Corp, Chubb Group, John Hancock Financial Services, Hercules
Inc, L-3 Communications Holdings, Inc., LTV Corporation, Marsh &
McLennan Cos. Inc., MetLife, Progressive Corp., General Motors,
Raytheon, W.R. Grace, Royal Caribbean Cruises, Ltd., Lone Star
Technologies, American Express, the Citigroup Inc. ,Royal & Sun
Alliance, Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc., Vornado Reality Trust,
Morgan Stanley, Dean Witter & Co., XL Capital Ltd., and Bear
Stearns.
The Times said market regulators in Germany, Japan and the US all had
received information concerning the short selling of insurance,
airlines and arms companies stock, all of which fell sharply in the
wake of the attacks.
City of London broker and analyst Richard Crossley noted that someone
sold shares in unusually large quantities beginning three weeks
before the assault on the WTC and Pentagon.
He said he took this as evidence that someone had insider
foreknowledge of the attacks.
"What is more awful than he should aim a stiletto blow at the heart
of Western financial markets?" he added. "But to profit from it?
Words fail me."
The US Government also admitted it was investigating short selling,
which evinced a compellingly strong foreknowledge of the coming Arab
attack.
There was unusually heavy trading in airline and insurance stocks
several days before Sept.11, which essentially bet on a drop in the
worth of the stocks.
It was reported by the Interdisciplinary Center, a counter-terrorism
think tank involving former Israeli intelligence officers, that
insiders made nearly $16 million profit by short-selling shares in
American and United Airlines, the two airlines that suffered
hijacking, and the investment firm of Morgan Stanley, which occupied
22 floors of the WTC.
Apparently none of the suspicious transactions could be traced to bin
Laden because this news item quietly dropped from sight, leaving many
people wondering if it tracked back to American firms or intelligence
agencies.
Most of these transactions were handled primarily by Deutsche
Bank-A.B.Brown, a firm which until 1998 was chaired by A. B."Buzzy"
Krongard, who later became executive director of the CIA.
More serious was an article in the Sept. 28, 2001 edition of the
Washington Post stating that officials with the instant messaging
firm of Odigo in New York confirmed that two employees in Israel
received text messages warning of an attack on the WTC two hours
before the planes crashed into the buildings!
The firm's vice president of sales and marketing, Alex Diamandis said
it was possible that the warning was sent to other Odigo members, but
they had not received any reports of such.
The day after, the Jerusalem Post claimed two Israelis died on the
hijacked airplanes and that 4,000 were missing at the WTC.
A week later, a Beirut television station reported that 4,000 Israeli
employees of the WTC were absent the day of the attack.
This information spread across the Internet but was quickly branded a
hoax.
On Sept. 19, the Washington Post reported about 113 Israelis were
missing at the WTC and the next day, President Bush noted more than
130 Israelis were victims.
Finally, on Sept. 22, the New York Times stated "There were, in fact,
only three Israelis who had been confirmed as dead: two on the planes
and another who had been visiting the towers on business and who was
identified and buried."
Investigators from numerous government agencies are part of a
clandestine but official effort to resolve the market manipulations.
There has been a great deal of talk about the insider trading of
American stocks by certain Israeli groups both in Canada and Germany
between August 26 and the Sept.11 attacks on the World Trade Center
and the Pentagon.
Government investigators have maintained a diplomatic silence about a
Department of Justice (DOJ) probe of possible profiteering by
interested parties with advance knowledge of the attack.
On Sept. 6, 2001, the Thursday before the tragedy, 2,075 put options
were made on United Airlines and on Sept. 10, the day before the
attacks, 2,282 put options were recorded for American Airlines. Given
the prices at the time, this could have yielded speculators between
$2 million and $4 million in profit.
The matter still is under investigation and none of the government
investigating bodies -including the FBI, the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) and DOJ -are speaking to reporters about insider
trading. Even so, suspicion of insider trading to profit from the
Sept. 11 attacks is not limited to U.S. regulators. Investigations
were initiated in a number of places including Japan, Germany, the
United Kingdom, France, Luxembourg, Hong Kong, Switzerland and Spain.
As in the United States, all are treating these inquiries as if they
were state secrets.
