George HW Bush and His Campaign Nazis
In 1988, many newspapers ran articles about Nazis in the Bush campaign. I well remember it.I just wished I had saved the articles now. If anyone wants to pay for and share the archived articles - much appreciated!



Radi Slavoff, GOP Heritage Council's executive director

Published: September 14, 1988
Bush Campaign Adviser Quits

"The Philadelphia Inquirer identified Mr. Slavoff as former chief of a Bulgarian group formed after World War II and consisting of members of the Nazi-aligned Bulgarian Legion. Mr. Slavoff did not return calls today. "


Archived Articles - from major newspapers - at the time it happened. (If you want to pay for them)
NAZI CHARGE FORCES RESIGNATION OF A BUSH CAMPAIGN OFFICIAL(s)

Other names include:

Florian Galdau
Nicholas Nazarenko
Method Balco
Walter Melianovich
Bohdan Fedorak


and


Laszlo Pasztor Link to archived news articles from major news publications connecting Pasztor to George HW Bush,his campaign, the GOP and the Nazis




Under Nixon - from 1969
Laszlo C. Pasztor, Director of the Heritage Groups Nationalities Division

"Note: The President spoke at 10:25 a.m. in the State Dining Room at the White House. Introductory remarks by Laszlo C. Pasztor"



Under George W. Bush - from 2006

Mr. Laszlo Pasztor - guest


To claim that any Bush - Nazi connection ended with Prescott Bush is inaccurate - to put it politely. True - the sins of the father should not be held against the son...but when those same sins pass from father to son to grandson, that something is wrong - very wrong - cannot be denied.

12. I find that the study of social networks can be very revealing.
namebase.org is a good resource.

3. Sorry, time's up.
They can spent the rest of the Reich in jail.

Every time I see a reference to the Thousand Points of Light Foundation, I think of the Nuremberg rallies, a sea of torches and huge draping Swastika banners.

13. Hi seemslikeadream. Color me clueless, but would you
happen to know about or have references as to the word on this image. More precisely, what is the story behind this cover image (is it Skull and Bones on the belt buckle?)?

I've already gone to the Time archives just to see the original cover and, sure enough, there that buckle is? Why in the hell would Arnold flaunt this particular buckle or was it totally overlooked before publication?

Thanks for helping me out with this. Perhaps I've been star-struck by Arnold as, although I don't agree totally with his politics, I've always figured him for one of the good guys. But if that belt buckle symbolizes something I don't agree with, maybe I should alter my opinion of Mr. Schwarzenegger.

9. *bookmarking*
This calls for some serious Googling.

Here's a tip of the iceberg from The New York Times, Op-Ed page, November 19, 1988:

Will Bush Purge Nazi Collaborators in the G.O.P.?
by Russell C. Bellant

The campaign may be over, but George Bush still needs to say what he plans
to do with the 20-year-old Republican Heritage Groups Council, the ethnic
outreach arm of the Republican National Committee. There is substantial
evidence to suggest that the council was founded and continues to be led by
people and organizations that collaborated with the Nazi occupation of
Eastern Europe during the Second World War.

<...>

Mr. Bush defends Mr. Galdau, Mr. Pasztor, Mr. Guarino and Mr. Slavoff as
innocent of all accusations of collaboration and insists they are all
honorable men. But the historical record belies his assertions.

The G.O.P. for decades has misread ethnic America's concerns about crime,
employment, anti-ethnic discrimination and the future of its youth. It has
offered instead the fascism and ethnic prejudices of the Heritage Council,
which focuses primarily on funding Radio Free Europe and stopping Justice
Department prosecutions of war criminals who illegally entered the country.

As the chairman of the Republican National Committee in the early years of
the council, and now as head of the Republican Party and President-elect,
Mr. Bush owes Americans a complete explanation.

(Russell C. Bellant is author of a recent study of the role of right-wing
emigres in the Republican Party and the Reagan Administration.)


Ethnic outreach arm of the Republican National Committee, huh? Why would it not surprise me if there were some sort of voter disenfranchisement wrapped up in this too?

14. 1972 Time article on the GOP Heritage Council & Nixon
Catering to Azerbaijanis

"The Heritage Council is presenting ethnics with as attractive an alternative as possible. It cranks out news releases for some 600 ethnic newspapers around the U.S. Whenever possible, the releases are in English. "We want to unite, we don't want to divide," says Laszlo Pasztor, the council director and a Hungarian freedom fighter who fled to the U.S. when the Soviets invaded in 1956."


Calling Pasztor a "freedom fighter" in 1972 but (see below)

From Russell C. Bellant, "Will Bush Purge Nazi Collaborators in the G.O.P.?," Op-Ed, NYT, Nov. 19, 1988.(Posted above by Psyop Samurai)

"The fourth ethnic leader expelled from the Bush campaign was Laszlo
Pasztor, who founded the Heritage Groups Council in 1969 with the
encouragement of Richard Nixon. It was Mr. Pasztor's job to select the
groups and leaders that formed the G.O.P.'s first permanent outreach to
ethnic America.

Mr. Pasztor worked as an embassy aide in Berlin for the militantly pro-Nazi
Arrow Cross government, which was installed in Hungary in 1944. (He has
since said that he regrets his involvement.)"



Thought this excerpt interesting - Don't forget Poland! (from the Time article)

" When he went to Moscow, he made a side trip to Warsaw — a signal to Polish Americans that he was not about to ignore Poland."



Another thought -

I wonder how many of the GOP's Heritage Council countries held secret CIA prisons for Shrub...just a thought

17. It really is and people scoff, believe it or not..so locked into
the thinking that if there are no ovens or gas chambers then the ideas have died out and couldn't possibly be in America.


Not America! It couldn't happen here! ..and they tell themselves even if Americans rubbed shoulders with fascists, they're still Americans and would never consider such oppressive ideas for America.

Oh no..not the land of the free and the home of the brave...not even with everything happening now can some people see just how oppressive America has become...gee, we can still shop and we can still go to work (snicker) and we can still go to church and gee, just look at all the choices we have....see how free we are!...we can be on the internet...never mind the government is spying...I'm not doing anything wrong, so it's OK! (idiots)

but I digress

And just posted a link asking about this http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=1441777&mesg_id=1441777. Nazis have been a part of the Bush family since WW2, and I personally now doubt it has changed through the generations. That would then make them traitors to this country.
