Race Hygiene: Three Bush Family Alliances

George Bush: The Unauthorized Biography -

by Webster G. Tarpley & Anton Chaitkin

Chapter 3- Race Hygiene: Three Bush Family Alliances

``The [government] must put the most modern medical means in the

service of this knowledge.... Those who are physically and mentally

unhealthy and unworthy must not perpetuate their suffering in the body

of their children.... The prevention of the faculty and opportunity to

procreate on the part of the physically degenerate and mentally sick,

over a period of only 600 years, would ... free humanity from an

immeasurable misfortune.''

``The per capita income gap between the developed and the developing

countries is increasing, in large part the result of higher birth

rates in the poorer countries.... Famine in India, unwanted babies in

the United States, poverty that seemed to form an unbreakable chain

for millions of people--how should we tackle these problems?.... It is

quite clear that one of the major challenges of the 1970s ... will be

to curb the world's fertility.''

These two quotations are alike in their mock show of concern for human

suffering, and in their cynical remedy for it: Big Brother must

prevent the `` unworthy '' or `` unwanted '' people from living.

Let us now further inquire into the family background of our

President, so as to help illustrate how the second quoted author,

George Bush came to share the outlook of the first, Adolf Hitler.

We shall examine here the alliance of the Bush family with three other

families: Farish, Draper and Gray.

The private associations among these families have led to the

President's relationship to his closest, most confidential advisers.

These alliances were forged in the earlier Hitler project and its

immediate aftermath. Understanding them will help us to explain George

Bush's obsession with the supposed overpopulation of the world's non-

Anglo-Saxons, and the dangerous means he has adopted to deal with this

`` problem. ''

Bush and Farish

When George Bush was elected Vice President in 1980, Texas mystery man

William (`` Will '') Stamps Farish III took over management of all of

George Bush's personal wealth in a `` blind trust. '' Known as one of

the richest men in Texas, Will Farish keeps his business affairs under

the most intense secrecy. Only the source of his immense wealth is

known, not its employment.@s3

Will Farish has long been Bush's closest friend and confidante. He is

also the unique private host to Britain's Queen Elizabeth II: Farish

owns and boards the studs which mate with the Queen's mares. That is

her public rationale when she comes to America and stays in Farish's

house. It is a vital link in the mind of our Anglophile President.

President Bush can count on Will Farish not to betray the violent

secrets surrounding the Bush family money. For Farish's own family

fortune was made in the same Hitler project, in a nightmarish

partnership with George Bush's father.

On March 25, 1942, U.S. Assistant Attorney General Thurman Arnold

announced that William Stamps Farish (grandfather of the President's

money manager) had pled `` no contest '' to charges of criminal

conspiracy with the Nazis. Farish was the principal manager of a

worldwide cartel between Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey and the I.G.

Farben concern. The merged enterprise had opened the Auschwitz slave

labor camp on June 14, 1940, to produce artificial rubber and gasoline

from coal. The Hitler government supplied political opponents and Jews

as the slaves, who were worked to near death and then murdered.

Arnold disclosed that Standard Oil of N.J. (later known as Exxon), of

which Farish was president and chief executive, had agreed to stop

hiding from the United States patents for artificial rubber which the

company had provided to the Nazis.@s4

A Senate investigating committee under Senator (later U.S. President)

Harry Truman of Missouri had called Arnold to testify at hearings on

U.S. corporations' collaboration with the Nazis. The Senators

expressed outrage at the cynical way Farish was continuing an alliance

with the Hitler regime that had begun back in 1933, when Farish became

chief of Jersey Standard. Didn't he know there was a war on?

The Justice Department laid before the committee a letter, written to

Standard president Farish by his vice president, shortly after the

beginning of World War II (Sept. 1, 1939) in Europe. The letter

concerned a renewal of their earlier agreements with the Nazis:

Report on European Trip

Oct. 12, 1939

Mr. W.S. Farish

30 Rockefeller Plaza

Dear Mr. Farish: ... I stayed in France until Sept. 17th.... In

England I met by appointment the Royal Dutch [shell Oil Co.] gentlemen

from Holland, and ... a general agreement was reached on the necessary

changes in our relations with the I.G. [Farben], in view of the state

of war.... [T]he Royal Dutch Shell group is essentially British.... I

also had several meetings with ... the [british] Air Ministry....

I required help to obtain the necessary permission to go to

Holland.... After discussions with the [American] Ambassador [Joseph

Kennedy] ... the situation was cleared completely.... The gentlemen in

the Air Ministry ... very kindly offered to assist me [later] in

reentering England....

Pursuant to these arrangements, I was able to keep my appointments in

Holland [having flown there on a British Royal Air Force bomber],

where I had three days of discussion with the representatives of I.G.

They delivered to me assignments of some 2,000 foreign patents and we

did our best to work out complete plans for a modus vivendi which

could operate through the term of the war, whether or not the U.S.

came in.... [emphasis added]

Very truly yours, F[rank] A. Howard@s5

Here are some cold realities behind the tragedy of World War II, which

help explain the Bush-Farish family alliance--and their peculiar

closeness to the Queen of England:

Shell Oil is principally owned by the British royal family. Shell's

chairman, Sir Henri Deterding, helped sponsor Hitler's rise to

power,@s6 by arrangement with the royal family's Bank of England

Governor, Montagu Norman. Their ally Standard Oil would take part in

the Hitler project right up to the bloody, gruesome end.

When grandfather Farish signed the Justice Department's consent decree

in March 1942, the government had already started picking its way

through the tangled web of world-monopoly oil and chemical agreements

between Standard Oil and the Nazis. Many patents and other Nazi-owned

aspects of the partnership had been seized by the U.S. Alien Property

Custodian.

Uncle Sam would not seize Prescott Bush's Union Banking Corporation

for another seven months.

The Bush-Farish axis had begun back in 1929. In that year the Harriman

bank bought Dresser Industries, supplier of oil-pipeline couplers to

Standard and other companies. Prescott Bush became a director and

financial czar of Dresser, installing his Yale classmate Neil Mahlon

as chairman.@s7 George Bush would later name one of his sons after the

Dresser executive.

William S. Farish was the main organizer of the Humble Oil Co. of

Texas, which Farish merged into the Standard Oil Company of New

Jersey. Farish built up the Humble-Standard empire of pipelines and

refineries in Texas.@s8

The stock market crashed just after the Bush family got into the oil

business. The world financial crisis led to the merger of the Walker-

Harriman bank with Brown Brothers in 1931. Former Brown partner

Montagu Norman and his prote@aage@aa Hjalmar Schacht paid frantic

visits to New York that year and the next, preparing the new Hitler

regime for Germany.

The most important American political event in those preparations for

Hitler was the infamous `` Third International Congress on Eugenics,

'' held at New York's American Museum of Natural History August 21-23,

1932, supervised by the International Federation of Eugenics

Societies.@s9 This meeting took up the stubborn persistence of African-

Americans and other allegedly `` inferior '' and `` socially

inadequate '' groups in reproducing, expanding their numbers, and

amalgamating with others. It was recommended that these `` dangers ''

to the `` better '' ethnic groups and to the `` well-born, '' could be

dealt with by sterilization or `` cutting off the bad stock '' of the

`` unfit. ''

Italy's fascist government sent an official representative. Averell

Harriman's sister Mary, director of `` Entertainment '' for the

Congress, lived down in Virginia fox-hunting country; her state

supplied the speaker on `` racial purity, '' W.A. Plecker, Virginia

commissioner of vital statistics. Plecker reportedly held the

delegates spellbound with his account of the struggle to stop race-

mixing and inter-racial sex in Virginia.

The Congress proceedings were dedicated to Averell Harriman's mother;

she had paid for the founding of the race-science movement in America

back in 1910, building the Eugenics Record Office as a branch of the

Galton National Laboratory in London. She and other Harrimans were

usually escorted to the horse races by old George Herbert Walker--they

shared with the Bushes and the Farishes a fascination with `` breeding

thoroughbreds '' among horses and humans.@s1@s0

Averell Harriman personally arranged with the Walker/Bush Hamburg-

Amerika Line to transport Nazi ideologues from Germany to New York for

this meeting.@s1@s1 The most famous among those transported was Dr.

Ernst Ru@audin, psychiatrist at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for

Genealogy and Demography in Berlin, where the Rockefeller family paid

for Dr. Ru@audin to occupy an entire floor with his eugenics ``

research. '' Dr. Ru@audin had addressed the International Federation's

1928 Munich meeting, speaking on `` Mental Aberration and Race

Hygiene, '' while others (Germans and Americans) spoke on race-mixing

and sterilization of the unfit. Ru@audin had also led the German

delegation to the 1930 Mental Hygiene Congress in Washington, D.C.

At the Harrimans' 1932 New York Eugenics Congress, Ernst Ru@audin was

unanimously elected president of the International Federation of

Eugenics Societies. This was recognition of Ru@audin as founder of the

German Society for Race Hygiene, with his co-founder, Eugenics

Federation vice president Alfred Plo@autz.

As depression-maddened financiers schemed in Berlin and New York,

Ru@audin was now official leader of the world eugenics movement.

Components of his movement included groups with overlapping

leadership, dedicated to:

sterilization of mental patients (`` mental hygiene societies '');

execution of the insane, criminals and the terminally ill (``

euthanasia societies ''); and

eugenical race-purification by prevention of births to parents from ``

inferior '' blood stocks (`` birth control societies '').

Before the Auschwitz death camp became a household word, these British-

American-European groups called openly for the elimination of the ``

unfit '' by means including force and violence.@s1@s2

Ten months later, in June 1933, Hitler's interior minister Wilhelm

Frick spoke to a eugenics meeting in the new Third Reich. Frick called

the Germans a `` degenerate '' race, denouncing one-fifth of Germany's

parents for producing `` feeble-minded '' and `` defective ''

children. The following month, on a commission by Frick, Dr. Ernst

Ru@audin wrote the `` Law for the Prevention of Hereditary Diseases in

Posterity, '' the sterilization law modeled on previous U.S. statutes

in Virginia and other states.

Special courts were soon established for the sterilization of German

mental patients, the blind, the deaf and alcoholics. A quarter million

people in these categories were sterilized. Ru@audin, Plo@autz and

their colleagues trained a whole generation of physicians and

psychiatrists--as sterilizers and as killers.

When the war started, the eugenicists, doctors and psychiatrists

staffed the new `` T4 '' agency, which planned and supervised the mass

killings: first at `` euthanasia centers, '' where the same categories

which had first been subject to sterilization were now to be murdered,

their brains sent in lots of 200 to experimental psychiatrists; then

at slave camps such as Auschwitz; and finally, for Jews and other race

victims, at straight extermination camps in Poland, such as Treblinka

and Belsen.@s1@s3

In 1933, as what Hitler called his `` New Order '' appeared, John D.

Rockefeller, Jr. appointed William S. Farish the chairman of Standard

Oil Co. of New Jersey (in 1937 he was made president and chief

executive). Farish moved his offices to Rockefeller Center, New York,

where he spent a good deal of time with Hermann Schmitz, chairman of

I.G. Farben; his company paid a publicity man, Ivy Lee, to write pro-

I.G. Farben and pro-Nazi propaganda and get it into the U.S. press.

Now that he was outside of Texas, Farish found himself in the shipping

business--like the Bush family. He hired Nazi German crews for

Standard Oil tankers. And he hired Emil Helfferich, chairman of the

Walker/Bush/Harriman Hamburg-Amerika Line, as chairman also of the

Standard Oil Company subsidiary in Germany. Karl Lindemann, board

member of Hamburg-Amerika, also became a top Farish-Standard executive

in Germany.@s1@s4

This interlock between their Nazi German operations put Farish

together with Prescott Bush in a small, select group of men operating

from abroad through Hitler's `` revolution, '' and calculating that

they would never be punished.

In 1939, Farish's daughter Martha married Averell Harriman's nephew,

Edward Harriman Gerry, and Farish in-laws became Prescott Bush's

partners at 59 Broadway.@s1@s5

Both Emil Helfferich and Karl Lindemann were authorized to write

checks to Heinrich Himmler, chief of the Nazi S.S., on a special

Standard Oil account. This account was managed by the German-British-

American banker, Kurt von Schroeder. According to U.S. intelligence

documents reviewed by author Anthony Sutton, Emil Helfferich continued

his payments to the S.S. into 1944, when the S.S. was supervising the

mass murder at the Standard-I.G. Farben Auschwitz and other death

camps. Helfferich told Allied interrogators after the war that these

were not his personal contributions--they were corporate Standard Oil

funds.@s1@s6

After pleading `` no contest '' to charges of criminal conspiracy with

the Nazis, William Stamps Farish was fined $5,000. (Similar fines were

levied against Standard Oil--$5,000 each for the parent company and

for several subsidiaries.) This of course did not interfere with the

millions of dollars that Farish had acquired in conjunction with

Hitler's New Order, as a large stockholder, chairman and president of

Standard Oil. All the government sought was the use of patents which

his company had given to the Nazis--the Auschwitz patents--but had

withheld from the U.S. military and industry.

But a war was on, and if young men were to be asked to die fighting

Hitler ... something more was needed. Farish was hauled before the

Senate committee investigating the national defense program. The

committee chairman, Senator Harry Truman, told newsmen before Farish

testified: `` I think this approaches treason. ''@s1@s7

Farish began breaking apart at these hearings. He shouted his ``

indignation '' at the Senators, and claimed he was not `` disloyal. ''

After the March-April hearings ended, more dirt came gushing out of

the Justice Department and the Congress on Farish and Standard Oil.

Farish had deceived the U.S. Navy to prevent the Navy from acquiring

certain patents, while supplying them to the Nazi war machine;

meanwhile, he was supplying gasoline and tetraethyl lead to Germany's

submarines and air force. Communications between Standard and I.G.

Farben from the outbreak of World War II were released to the Senate,

showing that Farish's organization had arranged to deceive the U.S.

government into passing over Nazi-owned assets: They would nominally

buy I.G.'s share in certain patents because `` in the event of war

between ourselves and Germany ... it would certainly be very

undesirable to have this 20 percent Standard-I.G. pass to an alien

property custodian of the U.S. who might sell it to an unfriendly

interest. ''@s1@s8

John D. Rockefeller, Jr. (father of David, Nelson and John D.

Rockefeller III), controlling owner of Standard Oil, told the

Roosevelt administration that he knew nothing of the day-to-day

affairs of his company, that all these matters were handled by Farish

and other executives.@s1@s9

In August, Farish was brought back for more testimony. He was now

frequently accused of lying. Farish was crushed under the intense,

public grilling; he became morose, ashen. While Prescott Bush escaped

publicity when the government seized his Nazi banking organization in

October, Farish had been nailed. He collapsed and died of a heart

attack on Nov. 29, 1942.

The Farish family was devastated by the exposure. Son William Stamps

Farish, Jr., a lieutenant in the Army Air Force, was humiliated by the

public knowledge that his father was fueling the enemy's aircraft; he

died in a training accident in Texas six months later.@s2@s0

With this double death, the fortune comprising much of Standard Oil's

profits from Texas and Nazi Germany was now to be settled upon the

little four-year-old grandson, William (`` Will '') Stamps Farish III.

Will Farish grew up a recluse, the most secretive multi-millionaire in

Texas, with investments of `` that money '' in a multitude of foreign

countries, and a host of exotic contacts overlapping the intelligence

and financial worlds--particularly in Britain.

The Bush-Farish axis started George Bush's career. After his 1948

graduation from Yale (and Skull and Bones), George Bush flew down to

Texas on a corporate airplane and was employed by his father's Dresser

Industries. In a couple of years he got help from his uncle, George

Walker, Jr., and Farish's British banker friends, to set him up in the

oil property speculation business. Soon thereafter, George Bush

founded the Zapata Oil Company, which put oil drilling rigs into

certain locations of great strategic interest to the Anglo-American

intelligence community.

Will Farish at 25 years old was a personal aide to Zapata chairman

George Bush in Bush's unsuccessful 1964 campaign for Senate. Will

Farish used `` that Auschwitz money '' to back George Bush

financially, investing in Zapata. When Bush was elected to Congress in

1966, Farish joined the Zapata board.@s2@s1

When George Bush became U.S. Vice President in 1980, the Farish and

Bush family fortunes were again completely, secretly commingled. As we

shall see, the old projects were now being revived on a breathtaking

scale.

Bush and Draper

Twenty years before he was U.S. President, George Bush brought two ``

race-science '' professors in front of the Republican Task Force on

Earth Resources and Population. As chairman of the Task Force, then-

Congressman Bush invited Professors William Shockley and Arthur Jensen

to explain to the committee how allegedly runaway birth-rates for

African-Americans were `` down-breeding '' the American population.

Afterwards Bush personally summed up for the Congress the testimony

his black-inferiority advocates had given to the Task Force.@s2@s2

George Bush held his hearings on the threat posed by black babies on

August 5, 1969, while much of the world was in a better frame of mind--

celebrating mankind's progress from the first moon landing 16 days

earlier. Bush's obsessive thinking on this subject was guided by his

family's friend, Gen. William H. Draper, Jr., the founder and chairman

of the Population Crisis Committee, and vice chairman of the Planned

Parenthood Federation. Draper had long been steering U.S. public

discussion about the so-called `` population bomb '' in the non-white

areas of the world.

If Congressman Bush had explained to his colleagues how his family had

come to know General Draper, they would perhaps have felt some alarm,

or even panic, and paid more healthy attention to Bush's presentation.

Unfortunately, the Draper-Bush population doctrine is now official

U.S. foreign policy.

William H. Draper, Jr. had joined the Bush team in 1927, when he was

hired by Dillon Read & Co., New York investment bankers. Draper was

put into a new job slot at the firm: handling the Thyssen account.

We recall that in 1924, Fritz Thyssen set up his Union Banking

Corporation in George Herbert Walker's bank at 39 Broadway, Manhattan.

Dillon Read & Co.'s boss, Clarence Dillon, had begun working with

Fritz Thyssen sometime after Averell Harriman first met with Thyssen--

at about the time Thyssen began financing Adolf Hitler's political

career.

In January 1926, Dillon Read created the German Credit and Investment

Corporation in Newark, New Jersey and Berlin, Germany, as Thyssen's

short-term banker. That same year Dillon Read created the Vereinigte

Stahlwerke (German Steel Trust), incorporating the Thyssen family

interests under the direction of New York and London finance.@s2@s3

William H. Draper, Jr. was made director, vice president and assistant

treasurer of the German Credit and Investment Corp. His business was

short-term loans and financial management tricks for Thyssen and the

German Steel Trust. Draper's clients sponsored Hitler's terroristic

takeover; his clients led the buildup of the Nazi war industry; his

clients made war against the United States. The Nazis were Draper's

direct partners in Berlin and New Jersey: Alexander Kreuter, residing

in Berlin, was president; Frederic Brandi, whose father was a top coal

executive in the German Steel Trust, moved to the U.S. in 1926 and

served as Draper's co-director in Newark.

Draper's role was crucial for Dillon Read & Co., for whom Draper was a

partner and eventually vice president. The German Credit and

Investment Corp. (GCI) was a `` front '' for Dillon Read: It had the

same New Jersey address as U.S. & International Securities Corp.

(USIS), and the same man served as treasurer of both firms.@s2@s4

Clarence Dillon and his son C. Douglas Dillon were directors of USIS,

which was spotlighted when Clarence Dillon was hauled before the

Senate Banking Committee's famous `` Pecora '' hearings in 1933. USIS

was shown to be one of the great speculative pyramid schemes which had

swindled stockholders of hundreds of millions of dollars. These

investment policies had rotted the U.S. economy to the core, and led

to the Great Depression of the 1930s.

But William H. Draper, Jr.'s GCI `` front '' was not apparently

affiliated with the USIS `` front '' or with Dillon, and the GCI

escaped the Congressmen's limited scrutiny. This oversight was to

prove most unfortunate, particularly to the 50 million people who

subsequently died in World War II.

Dillon Read hired public relations man Ivy Lee to prepare their

executives for their testimony and to confuse and further baffle the

Congressmen.@s2@s5 Lee apparently took enough time out from his duties

as image-maker for William S. Farish and the Nazi I.G. Farben Co.; he

managed the congressional thinking so that the Congressmen did not

disturb the Draper operation in Germany--and did not meddle with

Thyssen, or interfere with Hitler's U.S. moneymen.

Thus in 1932, William H. Draper, Jr. was free to finance the

International Eugenics Congress as a `` Supporting Member ''.@s2@s6

Was he using his own income as a Thyssen trust banker? Or did the

funds come from Dillon Read corporate accounts, perhaps to be written

off income tax as `` expenses for German project: race purification

''? Draper helped select Ernst Ru@audin as chief of the world eugenics

movement, who used his office to promote what he called Adolf Hitler's

`` holy, national and international racial hygienic mission. ''@s2@s7

W.S. Farish, as we have seen, was publicly exposed in 1942, humiliated

and destroyed. Just before Farish died, Prescott Bush's Nazi banking

office was quietly seized and shut down. But Prescott's close friend

and partner in the Thyssen-Hitler business, William H. Draper, Jr.,

neither died nor moved out of German affairs. Draper listed himself as

a director of the German Credit and Investment Corp. through 1942, and

the firm was not liquidated until November 1943.@s2@s8 But a war was

on; Draper, a colonel from previous military service, went off to the

Pacific theater and became a general.

General Draper apparently had a hobby: magic--illusions, sleight of

hand, etc.--and he was a member of the Society of American Magicians.

This is not irrelevant to his subsequent career.

The Nazi regime surrendered in May 1945. In July 1945, General Draper

was called to Europe by the American military government authorities

in Germany. Draper was appointed head of the Economics Division of the

U.S. Control Commission. He was assigned to take apart the Nazi

corporate cartels. There is an astonishing but perfectly logical

rationale to this--Draper knew a lot about the subject! General

Draper, who had spent about 15 years financing and managing the

dirtiest of the Nazi enterprises, was now authorized to decide who was

exposed, who lost and who kept his business, and in practical effect,

who was prosecuted for war crimes.@s2@s9

(Draper was not unique within the postwar occupation government.

Consider the case of John J. McCloy, U.S. Military Governor and High

Commissioner of Germany, 1949-1952. Under instructions from his Wall

Street law firm, McCloy had lived for a year in Italy, serving as an

advisor to the fascist government of Benito Mussolini. An intimate

collaborator of the Harriman/Bush bank, McCloy had sat in Adolf

Hitler's box at the 1936 Olympic games in Berlin, at the invitation of

Nazi chieftains Rudolf Hess and Hermann Go@auring.)@s3@s0

William H. Draper, Jr., as a `` conservative, '' was paired with the

`` liberal '' U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Morgenthau in a vicious

game. Morgenthau demanded that Germany be utterly destroyed as a

nation, that its industry be dismantled and it be reduced to a purely

rural country. As the economic boss in 1945 and 1946, Draper ``

protected '' Germany from the Morgenthau Plan ... but at a price.

Draper and his colleagues demanded that Germany and the world accept

the collective guilt of the German people as the explanation for the

rise of Hitler's New Order, and the Nazi war crimes. This, of course,

was rather convenient for General Draper himself, as it was for the

Bush family. It is still convenient decades later, allowing Prescott's

son, President Bush, to lecture Germany on the danger of Hitlerism.

Germans are too slow, it seems, to accept his New World Order.

After several years of government service (often working directly for

Averell Harriman in the North Atlantic Alliance), General Draper was

appointed in 1958 chairman of a committee which was to advise

President Dwight Eisenhower on the proper course for U.S. military aid

to other countries. At that time, Prescott Bush was a U.S. Senator

from Connecticut, a confidential friend and golf partner with National

Security Director Gordon Gray, and an important golf partner with

Dwight Eisenhower as well. Prescott's old lawyer from the Nazi days,

John Foster Dulles, was Secretary of State, and his brother Allen

Dulles, formerly of the Schroder bank, was head of the CIA.

This friendly environment emboldened General Draper to pull off a

stunt with his military aid advisory committee. He changed the subject

under study. The following year the Draper committee recommended that

the U.S. government react to the supposed threat of the `` population

explosion '' by formulating plans to depopulate the poorer countries.

The growth of the world's non-white population, he proposed, should be

regarded as dangerous to the national security of the United States!

@s3@s1

President Eisenhower rejected the recommendation. But in the next

decade, General Draper founded the `` Population Crisis Committee ''

and the `` Draper Fund, '' joining with the Rockefeller and Du Pont

families to promote eugenics as `` population control. '' The

administration of President Lyndon Johnson, advised by General Draper

on the subject, began financing birth control in the tropical

countries through the U.S. Agency for International Development

(USAID).

General Draper was George Bush's guru on the population

question.@s3@s2 But there was also Draper's money--from that uniquely

horrible source--and Draper's connections on Wall Street and abroad.

Draper's son and heir, William H. Draper III, was co-chairman for

finance (chief of fundraising) of the Bush-for-President national

campaign organization in 1980. With George Bush in the White House,

the younger Draper heads up the depopulation activities of the United

Nations throughout the world.

General Draper was vice president of Dillon Read until 1953. During

the 1950s and 1960s, the chief executive there was Frederic Brandi,

the German who was Draper's co-director for the Nazi investments and

his personal contact man with the Nazi German Steel Trust. Nicholas

Brady was Brandi's partner from 1954, and replaced him as the firm's

chief executive in 1971. Nicholas Brady, who knows where all the

bodies are buried, was chairman of his friend George Bush's 1980

election campaign in New Jersey, and has been United States Treasury

Secretary throughout Bush's presidency.@s3@s3

Bush and Gray

The U.S. Agency for International Development says that surgical

sterilization is the Bush administration's `` first choice '' method

of population reduction in the Third World.@s3@s4

The United Nations Population Fund claims that 37 percent of

contraception users in Ibero-America and the Caribbean have already

been surgically sterilized. In a 1991 report, William H. Draper III's

agency asserts that 254 million couples will be surgically sterilized

over the course of the 1990s; and that if present trends continue, 80

percent of the women in Puerto Rico and Panama will be surgically

sterilized.@s3@s5

The U.S. government pays directly for these sterilizations.

Mexico is first among targeted nations, on a list which was drawn up

in July 1991, at a USAID strategy session. India and Brazil are second

and third priorities, respectively.

On contract with the Bush administration, U.S. personnel are working

from bases in Mexico to perform surgery on millions of Mexican men and

women. The acknowledged strategy in this program is to sterilize those

young adults who have not already completed their families.

George Bush has a rather deep-seated personal feeling about this

project, in particular as it pits him against Pope John Paul II in

Catholic countries such as Mexico. (See Chapter 4 below, on the origin

of a Bush family grudge in this regard.)

The spending for birth control in the non-white countries is one of

the few items that is headed upwards in the Bush administration

budget. As its 1992 budget was being set, USAID said its Population

Account would receive $300 million, a 20 percent increase over the

previous year. Within this project, a significant sum is spent on

political and psychological manipulations of target nations, and

rather blatant subversion of their religions and governments.@s3@s6

These activities might be expected to cause serious objections from

the victimized nationalities, or from U.S. taxpayers, especially if

the program is somehow given widespread publicity.

Quite aside from moral considerations, legal questions would naturally

arise, which could be summed up: How does George Bush think he can get

away with this?

In this matter the President has expert advice. Mr. (Clayland) Boyden

Gray has been counsel to George Bush since the 1980 election. As chief

legal officer in the White House, Boyden Gray can walk the President

through the dangers and complexities of waging such unusual warfare

against Third World populations. Gray knows how these things are done.

When Boyden Gray was four and five years old, his father organized the

pilot project for the present worldwide sterilization program, from

the Gray family household in North Carolina.

It started in 1946. The eugenics movement was looking for a way to

begin again in America.

Nazi death camps such as Auschwitz had just then seared the conscience

of the world. The Sterilization League of America, which had changed

its name during the war to `` Birthright, Inc., '' wanted to start up

again. First they had to overcome public nervousness about crackpots

proposing to eliminate `` inferior '' and `` defective '' people. The

League tried to surface in Iowa, but had to back off because of

negative publicity: A little boy had recently been sterilized there

and had died from the operation.

They decided on North Carolina, where the Gray family could play the

perfect host. Through British imperial contacts, Boyden Gray's

grandfather, Bowman Gray, had become principal owner of the R.J.

Reynolds Tobacco Co. Boyden's father, Gordon Gray, had recently

founded the Bowman Gray (memorial) Medical School in Winston-Salem,

using his inherited cigarette stock shares. The medical school was

already a eugenics center.

As the experiment began, Gordon Gray's great aunt, Alice Shelton Gray,

who had raised him from childhood, was living in his household. Aunt

Alice had founded the `` Human Betterment League, '' the North

Carolina branch of the national eugenical sterilization movement.

Aunt Alice was the official supervisor of the 1946-47 experiment.

Working under Miss Gray was Dr. Claude Nash Herndon, whom Gordon Gray

had made assistant professor of `` medical genetics '' at Bowman Gray

Medical School.

Dr. Clarence Gamble, heir to the Proctor and Gamble soap fortune, was

the sterilizers' national field operations chief.

The experiment worked as follows. All children enrolled in the school

district of Winston-Salem, N.C., were given a special `` intelligence

test. '' Those children who scored below a certain arbitrary low mark

were then cut open and surgically sterilized.

We quote now from the official story of the project@s3@s7:

In Winston-Salem and in [nearby] Orange County, North Carolina, the

[sterilization League's] field committee had participated in testing

projects to identify school age children who should be considered for

sterilization. The project in Orange County was conducted by the

University of North Carolina and was financed by a `Mr. Hanes,' a

friend of Clarence Gamble and supporter of the field work project in

North Carolina. The Winston-Salem project was also financed by Hanes.

'' [`` Hanes '' was underwear mogul James Gordon Hanes, a trustee of

Bowman Gray Medical School and treasurer of Alice Gray's group]....

The medical school had a long history of interest in eugenics and had

compiled extensive histories of families carrying inheritable disease.

In 1946, Dr. C. Nash Herndon ... made a statement to the press on the

use of sterilization to prevent the spread of inheritable diseases....

The first step after giving the mental tests to grade school children

was to interpret and make public the results. In Orange County the

results indicated that three percent of the school age children were

either insane or feebleminded.... [Then] the field committee hired a

social worker to review each case ... and to present any cases in

which sterilization was indicated to the State Eugenics Board, which

under North Carolina law had the authority to order sterilization....

Race science experimenter Dr. Claude Nash Herndon provided more

details in an interview in 1990.@s3@s8

Alice Gray was the general supervisor of the project. She and Hanes

sent out letters promoting the program to the commissioners of all 100

counties in North Carolina.... What did I do? Nothing besides riding

herd on the whole thing! The social workers operated out of my office.

I was at the time also director of outpatient services at North

Carolina Baptist Hospital. We would see the [targeted] parents and

children there.... I.Q. tests were run on all the children in the

Winston-Salem public school system. Only the ones who scored really

low [were targeted for sterilization], the real bottom of the barrel,

like below 70.

Did we do sterilizations on young children? Yes. This was a relatively

minor operation.... It was usually not until the child was eight or

ten years old. For the boys, you just make an incision and tie the

tube.... We more often performed the operation on girls than with

boys. Of course, you have to cut open the abdomen, but again, it is

relatively minor.

Dr. Herndon remarked coolly that `` we had a very good relationship

with the press '' for the project. This is not surprising, since

Gordon Gray owned the Winston-Salem Journal, the Twin City Sentinel

and radio station WSJS.

In 1950 and 1951, John Foster Dulles, then chairman of the Rockefeller

Foundation, led John D. Rockefeller III on a series of world tours,

focusing on the need to stop the expansion of the non-white

populations. In November 1952, Dulles and Rockefeller set up the

Population Council, with tens of millions of dollars from the

Rockefeller family.

At that point, the American Eugenics Society, still cautious from the

recent bad publicity vis-a-vis Hitler, left its old headquarters at

Yale University. The Society moved its headquarters into the office of

the Population Council, and the two groups melded together. The long-

time secretary of the American Eugenics Society, Frederick Osborne,

became the first president of the Population Council. The Gray

family's child-sterilizer, Dr. Claude Nash Herndon, became president

of the American Eugenics Society in 1953, as its work expanded under

Rockefeller patronage.

Meanwhile, the International Planned Parenthood Federation was founded

in London, in the offices of the British Eugenics Society.

The undead enemy from World War II, renamed `` Population Control, ''

had now been revived.

George Bush was U.S. ambassador to the United Nations in 1972, when

with prodding from Bush and his friends, the U.S. Agency for

International Development first made an official contract with the old

Sterilization League of America. The League had changed its name twice

again, and was now called the `` Association for Voluntary Surgical

Contraception. '' The U.S. government began paying the old fascist

group to sterilize non-whites in foreign countries.

The Gray family experiment had succeeded.

In 1988, the U.S. Agency for International Development signed its

latest contract with the old Sterilization League (a.k.a. Association

for Voluntary Surgical Contraception), committing the U.S. government

to spend $80 million over five years.

Having gotten away with sterilizing several hundred North Carolina

school children, `` not usually less than eight to ten years old, ''

the identical group is now authorized by President Bush to do it to 58

countries in Asia, Africa and Ibero-America. The group modestly claims

it has directly sterilized `` only '' two million people, with 87

percent of the bill paid by U.S. taxpayers.

Meanwhile, Dr. Clarence Gamble, Boyden Gray's favorite soap

manufacturer, formed his own `` Pathfinder Fund '' as a split-off from

the Sterilization League. Gamble's Pathfinder Fund, with additional

millions from USAID, concentrates on penetration of local social

groups in the non-white countries, to break down psychological

resistance to the surgical sterilization teams.

University of Kentucky.

He has served on the Board of Directors of Vaalco Energy Inc..

Lane's End Farm

A breeder of thoroughbred racehorses, William Farish owns the 1800

acre Lane's End Farm near Lexington, Kentucky. A leading breeder of

horses that compete around the world, Lane's End Farm hosted Queen

Elizabeth during her visit to Lexington.

the United Kingdom on March 5, 2001, appointed on July 11, 2001 and

served until he resigned in early summer, 2004.

Farish's own family fortune was made in the same Hitler project, in a

nightmarish partnership with George Bush's father.

Sieg Heil ! 'Das Lied der Deutschen' or 'Das Deutschlandlied.'

Unity and right and freedom for the German fatherland;

Let us all pursue this purpose brotherly, with heart and hand.

Unity and right and freedom are the pledge of happiness.

Diplomacy

The invisible ambassador

On the eve of war, I called the US embassy to ask for an interview

with the American ambassador. The embassy's press attach? cautioned

that "he gets a lot of requests" and was unlikely to talk to me "at

this immediate time", but he would see what he could do and call me

back. I didn't really expect another call - and so far none has come -

because the current US ambassador is one of the most reticent in the

250-year history of the post. It's probably easier to get an interview

with Saddam Hussein than with William Farish.

This ambassador is not a household name - not even perhaps in the

large household in Regent's Park that comes with the job. "William

who?" asked a London-based US press man when I asked him whether he

had met Farish. "I don't know the name - and I'm someone who, if you

put a map in front of me, could name 75% of the countries in the

world." (This may have been a self-deprecating joke.)

William Stamps Farish III belies his grand moniker: he is a gentle,

detached, patrician figure, a millionaire friend of the Bushes and the

Queen who is more interested in horses than international diplomacy.

He came for what he called a "working sabbatical" and now finds

himself caught up in the rolling war on terror and an unpopular

invasion of Iraq.

"It's bizarre to have an ambassador who is so anonymous," says a

senior member of the US press corps in London, "especially at a time

when presentation is so important to the US, and when we don't seem to

be getting the presentation right. The president only seems to speak

to our own little world and it would be helpful to have someone who

speaks to the big brave world outside."

The problem arises from the peculiar status of the US ambassador. The

days when rising political stars got the job - five holders of the

post went on to be president, four vice-president and 10 secretary of

state - have long gone. It is now usually a reward for services

rendered - a plum posting for a good friend and a big donor.

Farish, who is 64, has known George W Bush all his life. Like Bush, he

is a scion of a Texan oil family - his grandfather, William Stamps

Farish, founded Humble Oil in 1900 and four-year-old Bill inherited an

estimated $200m. When Bush announced his decision to run for

president, Farish gave $100,000 to his fighting fund. The

ambassadorship was the reward.

It is not the fact that one of Bush's buddies from Texas has the post

that rankles most with Farish's US critics, but that he is happier

with ponies than politics. "It can be useful to have an ambassador who

is an old friend and has the ear of the president," says one US

correspondent. "Pamela Harriman, Clinton's ambassador in Paris, was

perfect. But who knows what Farish is doing? He's just not out there."
