PRINCES PLUNDER Powerful European, British and American family and business concerns that did business with Hitler's Germany before the war also scrambled to benefit financially from the fall of Berlin and to keep Nazi booty out of the hands of Allied governments. f President George W. Bush has his way, the American system of democracy will continue to proliferate around the world. However, there are those who argue that the American form of "democracy" has little to do with genuine democratic representation but rather more closely resembles a revolving fascist dictatorship beholden to the interests of a wealthy elite and big business.' This form of government, it is argued, has as its underlying model the European synar- chist movement that was founded in the 1870s by Joseph Alexandre Saint-Yves d'Alveydre. Saint-Yves considered the mediaeval Knights Templar to be the ultimate synarchists of their time and consequently drew on Templar ideals when formulating his ideas. The Saint-Yves movement came to the fore in the early 1920s, following the end of World War I and the signing of the Versailles Treaty.* In its essence, synarchy advocates that government be run by a secret society or cabal—"an elite of enlightened initiates who rule from behind the scenes".* As authors Lynn Picknett and Clive Prince describe it: "...it therefore doesn't matter which political party holds power in a state—or even what political system that state has. Synarchists would step in and take control of the key state institutions."* In the United States, one such secret society worthy of note is Yale University's Order of Skull and Bones. Entry into the order involves elaborate ritual and is accompanied by a change of name. No longer is the neophyte known by his family name, but assumes the identity of a knight. Bonesmen include George W. Bush, his father George Bush Senior and Senator John Kerry. George Bush Senior's father, Prescott Bush, was also a Bonesman, as was his favourite uncle, Herbert ("Herbie") Walker. In point of fact, almost all of the so-called "Eastern Establishment" families have been enrolled in Skull and Bones. Professor Antony C. Sutton, in his groundbreaking four-part series The Secret Cult of the Order, states that the US order is linked to Britain through the Rhodes—Milner Oxford Group but has German origins. The US order is also linked to the Guggenheim, Schiff and Warburg families, despite having definite anti-Semitic tendencies until more recent times. Sutton's own research linked the order to "the founding and growth of Nazism"> and considered it likely that the German original was the Illuminati. The Bush family's political dynasty and, indeed, its wealth, arose from the Nazi connec- tions forged by Prescott Bush, who worked for Nazi magnate Fritz Thyssen. Bush's uncle Herbie was likewise employed by Thyssen.° An even darker episode was reported by a Dutch intelligence agent who stated that Prescott Bush also managed a portion of the slave labour force located at the massive chemical cartel IG Farben's plant at Auschwitz— the infamous Nazi death camp.’ Working for Prescott Bush was Allen Dulles, who would later become a director of the CIA following a highly questionable career during World War II when he was posted to head up the Swiss office of the American intelligence ser- vice, the OSS (Office of Strategic Services). Before the war, Dulles was the US legal counsel for IG Farben. Another law client of Dulles was Fritz Thyssen. These interrela- tionships are, at the very least, very chummy. Some believe them to be treacherous. The key period of the growth of synarchism followed on the heels of the Russian Revolution and led to the rise of the Pan European Movement (PEM) in 1922. The PEM was embraced by powerful forces inside Germany—including the wealthy banker Max Warburg, who financed the movement. Warburg was a director of IG Farben, the cartel that helped hoist Adolf Hitler to power. Curiously, however, Warburg was also involved by David G.
