Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. created the Union Banking Corporation with Friedrich “Fritz” Thyssen. Prescott Bush was one of seven corporate directors put in charge of Union Banking Corporation as a front to help Thyssen conceal the bank’s real ownership. The U.S. Government accused Prescott Bush & Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. of “Trading with the Enemy” in 1942, the bank and other business interests were seized under the Trading With The Enemy Actand held the assets for the duration of WWII until 1951 when they were given back their company.

Jeb Bush, the Republican presidential candidate who is in the single digits, told The Huffington Post he would kill a baby Hitler if given the chance to go back in time.
“Hell yeah, I would!” the former Florida governor said while on the campaign trail in New Hampshire. “You gotta step up, man.”
“It could have a dangerous effect on everything else, but I’d do it — I mean, Hitler,” Bush added.
The question was posed by The New York Times Magazine. Most respondents said they would kill the baby who would grow up to become Der Fuhrer.
If given the chance, Jeb Bush might want to travel back in time and prevent his grandfather from helping Hitler become one of the most infamous dictators of the 20th century.
Prescott Bush, a Wall Street executive banker and Connecticut Senator, helped assist the Nazis through the Union Banking Corporation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_Banking_Corporation) and Brown Brothers Harriman, an influential investment bank.
The bank held gold for the Nazis and acted as a clearing house for Fritz Thyssen, a German industrialist who supported the Nazi regime. In 1932 Thyssen and other industrialists signed a letter urging Paul von Hindenburg to appoint Adolf Hitler as chancellor. He also arranged a meeting of the Association of German Industrialists that raised 3 million marks for the Nazi Party. Thyssen was instrumental in Hitler’s effort to re-arm Germany. In 1941 Thyssen wrote a book titled “I Paid Hitler.”
Jeb Bush’s grandfather was also linked to Consolidated Silesian Steel Company, a company that used slave labor during the Second World War.
Prescott Bush was not deterred by the outbreak of the Second World War. It took the Trading with the Enemy Act and a seizure of the bank’s assets in 1942 to stop it from dealing with Thyssen and the Nazis.
If Jeb Bush found a way to travel back in time, he also might want to prevent J.P. Morgan, T. W. Lamont, the Rockefeller interests, General Electric Company, Standard Oil, National City Bank, Chase and Manhattan banks, Kuhn, Loeb and Company, and dozens of others from the financial and corporate elite supporting Hitler and the Nazis.
Common Core is the Communist Core I Went Through in China by Lily Tang Williams Website: www.lily4liberty.com

Liberty Activist and Former Libertarian Candidate, Lily Tang Williams, has a dire warning for America; Common Core reminds her of the Communist Core she went through in China.
Hear her powerful testimony describing how parents had zero parental rights, children were forced to keep daily tattle-journals, Chinese children were taught to do well on tests and conform--no critical thinking allowed, and if you were a late bloomer or student with special education needs, forget it, you'd be relegated to a life of poverty. Students were also tracked throughout their school years so their file could be turned over to all government agencies and potential employers.
A big and powerful government always has reasons and excuses for using force to make people do what they want, but in the end, it is always the ruling class and their cronies that benefit from these mandates, not the people.

Rome’s Forgeries
November 11, 2015 (David Cloud, Fundamental Baptist Information Service, P.O. Box 610368, Port Huron, MI 48061, 866-295-4143, fbns@wayoflife.org)
The following is excerpted from the upcoming new edition of THE HISTORY OF THE CHURCHES FROM A BAPTIST PERSPECTIVE.
Since there is no authority for the papacy in the New Testament, it must be found elsewhere. This problem was solved with the forgery of official documents promoting papal supremacy.
1. The Donation of Constantine a. The Donation of Constantine was a shameless forgery claiming that Constantine I gave the bishop of Rome supremacy “over all the churches of God in the whole earth.”
(1) The Donation was supposed to be a reward from Constantine to “Pope” Sylvester for healing him of leprosy.
(2) It granted the pope a crown, royal robes consisting of a “purple mantle and scarlet tunic,” and “all the pomp of our imperial eminence and glory of our power.
(3) It donated to the pope “the city of Rome, and all the provinces, places and cities of Italy and the western regions.”
(4) It gave Catholic clergy the authority to ride on white horses and to wear white sandals like the Roman Senators. b. This brazen lie was invented to strengthen the pope’s claim to northern Italy and his authority as both a civil and spiritual ruler.
(1) It was used by Pope Stephen III (752-57) to help convince Emperor Pepin of the Franks to take some 20 cities by force of arms from the Lombards and to hand them over to him (the pope). (2) Pope Adrian I (or Hadrian) referred to the forgery in a letter in 774 to Charlemagne, Pepin’s son. (3) The forgery was used by other popes until it was publicly exposed during in the 15th century.
2. The Decretals of Isidore The Decretals of Isidore claimed to be a collection of letters and decrees by bishops of Rome and church councils in the early centuries after the apostles, which were allegedly compiled by Archbishop Isidore (560-636).
(1) The Decretals claimed that the pope was supreme from the beginning of the church and that everything is subject to him.
(2) The decretals claimed that Peter ruled as a pope in Rome and had authority over all of the apostolic churches.
b. Pope Nicholas I (858-67) promoted this forgery, claiming that popes “held the place of God on earth” with power over kings and even the right to command massacres of those who oppose him.
3. To the Decretals of Isidore were added many other decrees by various popes, including Innocent III (1198-1216), Honorius III (1216-1227), Gregory IX in 1234, Boniface VIII in 1298, Clement V in 1313, and John XXII in 1340.
4. The phony Decretals form the foundation of Rome’s canon law. In a nutshell, the Decretals state that all authority is given to the pope, that kings are subject to him, that all laws must conform to his will, that kings are required to destroy all heretics from their territories, that the pope has the right to depose kings who do not obey him, that citizens do not have to obey kings or magistrates who are not subject to the pope, that all heretics are to be punished, etc. etc. Following are some statements from the Decretals: “It does not belong to the Emperor to judge the actions of the Pope” (Corpus Juris Canonici, decreti, pars i. distinct. xcvi. can. viii).
“The Emperor ought to obey, not command, the Pope” (Corpus Juris Canonici, decreti, pars i. distinct. xcvi. can. xi).
“We ordain that kings, and bishops, and nobles, who shall permit the decrees of the Bishop of Rome in anything to be violated, shall be accursed, and be for ever guilty before God as transgressors against the Catholic faith” (Corpus Juris Canonici, decreti, pars ii. causa xxv. quest. i. can. xi).
"The Bishop of Rome may excommunicate emperors and princes, depose them from their states, and assoil their subjects from their oath of obedience to them” (Corpus Juris Canonici, decreti, pars i, distinct. xcvi. can. x., and Decreti, pars ii. causa xv. quest. vi. can. iii. iv. v).
“The Bishop of Rome may be judged of none but of God only” (Corpus Juris Canonici, decreti, pars ii. causa iii. quest. vi. can. ix).
“[A heretic is one] who, in whatever way, or by whatever vain argument, is led away and dissents from the orthodox faith and Catholic religion which is professed by the Church of Rome” (A Decretal of Pope Gregory IX, Decret. Gregorii IX. lib. v,. tit. vii. De Hereticis).
“And all heretics, of both sexes and of every name, we damn to perpetual infamy; we declare hostility against them; we account them accursed, and their goods confiscated; nor can they ever enjoy their property, or their children succeed to their inheritance; inasmuch as they grievously offend against the Eternal as well as the temporal king” (A Decretal of Pope Honorius II, Quinta Compilatio Epistolarum Decretalium Honorii III. P. M. Innocentii Cironii, Juris Utriusque Professoris, Canonici ac Ecclesiae, et Academae Tolosanae Cancellarii, Comp. v. tit. iv. cap. i. p. 200; Tolosae, 1645).
“Those are not to be accounted homicides who, fired with zeal for Mother Church, may have killed excommunicated persons” (This oath, in its more ancient form, as enacted by Gregory VII, is extant in the Gregorian Decretals. Since his time it has been considerably enlarged and made more stringent,—illustrative of the encroaching spirit of the popes. See Decret. Gregorii, lib. ii. tit. xxiv).
5. Roman Catholic Canon law, with all of the Decretals exalting the pope’s supreme authority, was republished in the 1870s by Pope Pius IX. Though it has long been known that Catholic Canon Law is founded upon forgeries and thus is fraudulent, not one line of it has ever been rescinded or renounced.
6. No pope has publicly renounced the Donation of Constantine or the Decretals of Isidore.
"The Donation of Constantine"- Translated from Vatican Archive #5314 dated 1451
Published on Feb 8, 2015
The document known to us as the Donation of Constantine is one of the most famous medieval forgeries. Written at an unknown date and place in the heart of the Dark Ages, for unknown purposes, it was embedded in the Forged Decretals in the early 9th century, and so drifted into the main collections of legal material used in the Middle Ages, including Gratian's Decretum. In the absence of a stable political environment in Italy from the collapse of the Roman empire to the establishment of the modern Italian state, the papacy was obliged to provide for its own security. The document was used to justify it doing so. The text purports to be a legal document issued by the Emperor Constantine, transferring control of Italy and the western provinces to Pope Sylvester in gratitude for being cured of leprosy. The renaissance Popes, whose spiritual role seemed often secondary to their function as the heads of a minor Italian state, used it extensively to oppose the territorial ambitions of the great powers and support their own. But in the Renaissance, for the first time in a millennium, it was possible to compare such documents with the genuine products of antiquity. St. Nicholas of Cusa was one of the first to notice that the Donation did not agree with the picture given by other documents. But it was left to the quarrelsome but brilliant scholar Lorenzo Valla to make public that the document was a fraud. This he did around 1450,
