Follow the Money, Scottie Is "Bert" Walker Facist Clan

While the Wisconsin democratic party puts the term in quotes when they state, "Scott Walker and 'Cousin' George Walker Bush", better known as W,  Wayne Madsen has published a report that is more direct [emphasis added]:
A cousin of Wisconsin's unpopular Republican Governor Scott Walker, who is running in a rare recall election, has informed WMR that Walker is a member of the Bush-Walker family of former Presidents George H. W. Bush and George Walker Bush. 
Governor Walker's cousin does not support his cousin's gubernatorial bid in Wisconsin. Scott Walker, like George Herbert Walker and George Walker Bush, is a descendant of George Herbert Walker, a wealthy banker originally from St. Louis.  [more HERE].

George W. Bush uses the term "cousin" when he refers to Scott Walker, who co-chaired George W. Bush's campaign for President in 2000 and 2004. But the point we'd like to make today isn't whether or not there is a distant bloodline connecting the two -- there is.

The point is that Scott Walker and George Walker Bush can be shown to answer to the same group of billionaires -- the Koch Brothers financed Scott Walker's election to the governor's office in 2010 and then his June 5, 2012, recall.  They played a huge role in bringing George Walker Bush to the presidency.  Going into the 2000 presidential election, George Walker Bush received $800,000 from the Koch brothers.

Much of Scott Walker's billionaire base and recall election contributors were major supporters and allies of George Walker Bush too.  
Diane Hendricks of roofing giant ABC Supply donated a total of $510,000 to Walker’s campaign — the biggest check for a governor’s race in Wisconsin history.  In 2010, George W. and Laura Bush made an unannounced visit to Wisconsin in late 2010, they parked their jet in ABC Supply's private hangar, lunched with Diane, and met some of the company's employees amid speculation that the visit was related to Diane's support for the George W. Bush Institute think tank.
Sheldon Adelson, Las Vegas casino tycoon and prolific right-wing donor, gave $250,000 to Scott Walker reelection.  Between 1984 and 2007, he donated more than $1 million to political candidates. The vast majority of his donations during this period, more than $800,000, went to key Republicans including George Walker Bush.
Christy Walton, Arkansas resident, Wal-Mart heiress, and world’s richest woman; pitched in $50,000 to keep Scott Walker in office.  The Walton family supported groups devoted to George W. Bush's re-election in 2004.  Alice Walton gave over $2 million to Progress America in 2004 - a group that ran advertising on social security privatization during the election.
Robert McNair, owner of the Houston Texans, gave $25,000 to keep Walker in the governor's mansion.  In 2004, Robert McNair gave money to Progress for America Voter Fund  in support of George Walker Bush's 2004 reelection.
Rich DeVos, founder of Amway and resident of Michigan, offered up $250,000 to Walker to beat the recall.  In the 2000 national election, the George W. Bush campaign used Amway’s voicemail network to broadcast its message to tens of thousands of Amway/Quixtar distributors with a "personal voicemail message" from George Walker Bush.  DeVos boasts, "I’ve been a friend to the [Bush] family for a long time. I give the max."
Stanley Hubbard, the Minnesota billionaire behind DirecTV, wrote a check for $10,000 to support Walker in the June 5th recall.  Hubbard is a fierce enemy of organized labor.  Hubbard is identified as one of the billionaires that propelled George W. Bush into office in 2000 and 2004 and then joined Newt Gingrich’s multimillion-dollar front group, American Solutions for Winning the Future. ASWF capitalizes on the energy crisis and George Walker Bush's promotion of  “Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less” campaign
Bernard Marcus, Home Depot founder and Atlanta resident, put up $50,000 for Scott Walker to win reelection. In 2004, Marcus gave Progress for America Voter Fund $1.5 million to support George Walker Bush's re-election.
Trevor Rees-Jones, an oil and gas mogul from Dallas, pitched in $100,000 to Walker’s campaign.  American Crossroads, the “shadow RNC” setup by George Walker Bush operatives Karl Rove and Ed Gillespie, received $1 million from Rees-Jones, nearly one-fourth of the money that group received in 2010.
Bruce Kovner, New York’s hedge fund legend, also gave $100,000 to fund Walker's reelection during the recall cycle.  Kovner is a longstanding supporter of George Walker Bush, a close personal friend of Dick Cheney, and a major Republican fundraiser. Formerly the chair of the neoconservative American Enterprise Institute, Kovner has supported a handful of Republicans in recent elections.
Patrick Ryan, founder of insurance giant Aon and resident of Illinois, donated $100,000 to help Scott Walker in June 2012.  In 2004, Ryan hosted President George Walker Bush during a political fundraising dinner at his home in Winnetka, Illinois. Later that year, he hosted another George Walker Bush fundraiser with President Bush's wife and daughters.
Bob Perry, Texas tycoon "Billionaire Bob" fueled Gov. Walker's campaign coffers with two checks totaling $500,000. Not one to shy away from fueling controversy, Perry is infamous for funding the sleazy "Swift Boat" ads in 2004, which won George W. Bush a second term in office.
While most Americans know of the Walker clan via America's 41st President, George Herbert Walker Bush and then the 43rd, George Walker Bush -- the clan goes back much farther in U.S. history and is connected to war profiteering and disturbing events in American history.

George Herbert Walker Bush is the son of Prescott Bush, reportedly an alcoholic.  Prescott is the man that brought Richard Nixon into politics.  We all know how that turned out for this Nation.  But remember, the "W" in Bush 43 and 41's name stands for WALKER.

Prescott Bush's father-in-law, George Herbert "Herb" Walker, was one of America's most prominent fascists at the beginning of the 20th century.  Prescott Bush married into the Walker family, which is why prominent Bush male offspring bear his name.  George Herbert "Herb" Walker, with the help of his son-in-law Prescott Bush, helped bring Hitler to power in Germany and underwrote the nazi war machine.

Starting with George Herbert "Herb" Walker, the Walker/Bush family patriarchs:
  • Built a vast fortune (through Brown Brothers Harriman of New York City) by facilitating the pre-WWII flow of investments from unscrupulous, fascist-leaning American multi-millionaires into German companies like I.G. Farben (and how they even helped to fund Hitler’s fledgling Nazi party, through Hitler's most powerful industrialist financier, Fritz Thyssen),
  • Profited from the use of slaves at Auschwitz during WWII and in particular Fritz Thyssen’s industrial coal/steel empire that used the free labour at that concentration camp (which was conveniently located near Europe's richest coal deposits as well as it's highest concentration of Jews),
  • Coordinated the laundering of billions in Nazi loot back into the U.S. after WWII through a Nazi front company called Union Banking Corp. (UBC) in New York City which was managed by Prescott Bush. In 1942, under The Trading with the Enemy Act, the Roosevelt government confiscated all of the assets of UBC, and various other Bush-linked corporations. (One and a half million in UBC shares were returned to Bush in 1951.)
  • Used the Dulles brothers (Allen and John Foster), and their considerable influence over the CIA and U.S. State Department, to cover their treasonous tracks, and then
  • Then the Bush family fortune was used as a launching pad to get the two Georges set up in the oil business, from whence they were propelled into politics and eventually the White House.
Behind Walker's radical extremist agenda in Wisconsin are ALEC and the Koch brothers.  Koch industries has its roots in Nazi Germany.  CNN reports:
Notorious Nazis Ilse Koch, her husband Karl Otto Koch and Erich Koch are the ghosts of Koch Industries,  who seized the U.S. conservative political agenda years ago and seem capable of seizing the government in total through the Tea Party.  Ilse Koch was the Nazi's specialist in making objects from human skin;  was the only woman charged with war crimes; and along with her husband was in charge of one of the most horrific horror camps in Nazi Germany.

Koch Industries is the child of the violence of Buchenwald,  widely regarded as one of wartime Germany's most notorious "death camps".
The CNN report goes on:
Where is the connection between the German Koch's and Fred Koch?  Besides evidence the American Koch was related to Ilse's family,  Erich Koch  (a high level Nazi official in charge of Prussia)  invites Fred Koch to sell his oil in Nazi Germany when he is banned from doing business in the US.  After the fall of Nazi Germany,  Erich Koch and Fred expand the oil empire to the Soviet Union.  Erich Koch had been in charge of Prussia for Hitler so his ties to the Soviet Union ran deep.  A few years later the Soviets took Fred Koch's oil and prosecuted Erich for war crimes - Fred Koch returned to the US,  became anti-communist,  and was allowed to do business in the States again.

American Fred Koch,  and through association the Kochs from Germany,  establish the John Birch Society in the 1950s in NY,  which becomes the policy center for American conservatives.  The society was built on Fred Koch's oil money in the 1950s and can be thought of as the center of neo-conservative politics as well as the Tea Party movement.
George Herbert "Herb" Walker was part of a plot to overthrow the government of the United States.  William Dodd, the U.S. Ambassador to Germany, stated in a letter to President Franklin Roosevelt:
A clique of U.S. industrialists is hell-bent to bring a fascist state to supplant our democratic government and is working closely with the fascist regime in Germany and Italy. I have had plenty of opportunity in my post in Berlin to witness how close some of our American ruling families are to the Nazi regime.... A prominent executive of one of the largest corporations, told me point blank that he would be ready to take definite action to bring fascism into America if President Roosevelt continued his progressive policies. Certain American industrialists had a great deal to do with bringing fascist regimes into being in both Germany and Italy. They extended aid to help Fascism occupy the seat of power, and they are helping to keep it there. Propagandists for fascist groups try to dismiss the fascist scare. We should be aware of the symptoms. When industrialists ignore laws designed for social and economic progress they will seek recourse to a fascist state when the institutions of our government compel them to comply with the provisions.
While the top U.S. fascists behind this 1930's plot have passed away, their business interests are still with us.  Their descendants their business interests are some of the most powerful multi-national corporate interests in the world today and continue to influence our nation, politics, and global matters of war, peace and human rights.

Scott Walker is being propelled by the media onto the national stage -- by himself, Scott Walker is just another slick politician with a problem speaking the truth.  The divisiveness that Scott Walker has brought to Wisconsin is largely due to a compliant media that has propped him up.

It isn't the bloodlines that connect Scott Walker to the Walker/Bush family that are most disturbing -- it is the larger pattern of support from the same monied corporate business interests that propelled the Hitler, Bush I & II, and now Scott Walker into power.  None of these people are folk heroes.  George Herbert Walker Bush himself states:
If the people were to ever find out what we have done, we would be chased down the streets and lynched.
Expect more "divide and conquer" from Scott Walker and his GOP cohorts in 2013.  The billionaires that have underwritten him expect a payback. 

Perhaps more importantly, now that the John Doe investigation into the criminality behind Scott Walker's ascent to power is moving towards higher-ups like Walker, now Walker needs his financial backers to contributing large amounts money -- to his criminal defense fund.

It is always a bad situation when corrupt politicians have access to corporate cash-cows to fund criminality and the resulting legal work to get away with these crimes.  It is even worse when the corruption is centered around a figures connected with larger patterns of criminality.  In the case of the Walker clan -- some of the most abhorrent crimes in world history.

It is not a coincidence that Scott Walker, as citizens of the Badger State started organizing against his divisive politics, enlisted "Bush's Brain", Karl Rove, to find a protégé to promote a policy to crack-down on dissent.

Scott Walker did not inherit a distaste for democracy and disdain for the will of the people from George Herbert "Bert" Walker, but he can be shown to be connected to the same interests politically and financially. 

Follow the money -- Walker enjoys the same backing as George Walker Bush and theses ties go back generations. Wisconsin hasn't seen anything yet -- turbulent times are ahead.
