1) In the 1930s there was a group of American businessmen expediting finances for the NAZI war machine. Note the names involved include not only Prescott Bush, but also Foster Dulles. ‘Foster’ Dulles is John Foster Dulles, brother of Allen Dulles, Foster is his name in professional and business circles. John Foster Dulles was a ‘deeply religious’ conservative. Incidental to this, the NAZI political platform emphasizes ‘Positive Christianity’. Elements of ‘Positive Christianity’ portraying Jesus as a “Fighter” with violent, apocalyptic world view are today associated with extreme theology in the American religious right

‎2) John Foster Dulles brother, Allen Dulles, rescued numerous NAZI war criminals by providing them with new identities in violation of explicit instruction by Harry Truman. Allen Dulles is written extensively about by former Pentagon liaison to the CIA, Colonel L Fletcher Prouty, in his work ‘The Secret Team.’ Allen Dulles, a former military intelligence officer, was first civilian and longest serving CIA Director. Colonel Prouty points directly to Allen Dulles as at the point of an internationally active ’secret team’, which he calls a “new religion”, working to undermine democracy around the world on behalf of American corporate boardrooms

‎3) CIA Director Allen Dulles sat on United Fruit Board of Directors, and John Foster Dulles served as United Fruit’s legal counsel. United Fruit is now Chiquita Brands, with extensive holdings in Latin America and a long history of CIA undermining Latin American governments to benefit its profits via corruption, cocaine & gun running, and associated mass murders. Meanwhile, evangelical Christianity and ‘pentecostalism’ has boomed throughout Latin America, so far as a variant becoming the religious cult belief of Drug Cartels such as ‘Los Zetas’ and ‘La Famiglia.’ After the Dulles brothers had died, Eli Black outbid the George H.W. Bush owned Zapata Corporation for control of United Fruit, and anything you can possibly imagine that could go wrong, did go wrong for Eli, including much of United Fruit’s paper assets magically vanishing, a fat bribe called ‘Bananagate’ pinned on Eli suddenly turned up with an SEC investigation, and the 54 year old Jewish businessman who likely (physically) could not fight his way out of a paper bag, miraculously broke an industrial strength window and ‘jumped’ from the 44th floor of a skyscraper. With Eli conveniently out of the way, Chiquita Brands was taken over by close Bush buddy & religious right Republican big shot Carl Lindner

4) Obama’s Attorney General Eric Holder served as legal counsel for Chiquita Brands and is directly involved in shielding Chiquita Brands corporate executives from ‘murder for hire’ prosecutions, when Chiquita had hired the Columbian AUC terrorist group’s right wing death squads to protect its banana interests in Columbia. Meanwhile, Holder has also been shielding criminal acts of the CIA with the ’state secret’ and ‘national security’ doctrine

5) CIA Director George H.W. Bush, son of NAZI financier Prescott Bush, after he became president, promoted Iran-Contra/narcotics and guns runner Robert Gates as his CIA Director. Robert Gates is so close to George H.W. Bush, it could be said Gates is the brother of evangelical George W. Bush. Robert Gates has been Obama’s Secretary of Defense and just now Afghanistan is the world’s leading supplier of heroin. With Robert Gates leaving Department of Defense for private sector and to be replaced by the fig leaf Panetta, General Patraeus, the American commander in Afghanistan, is scheduled to take over the CIA. General Patraeus is close to Robert Gates and the Bush dynasty

‎6) 40 years after Colonel Prouty had written about a CIA centered new religious group he described as ‘The Secret Team’ dedicated to American corporate boardrooms taking over our republic, investigative reporter for Harper’s Magazine, Jeff Sharlet, documents the evolution of a new variant extreme Christian cult, ‘The Family’, founded by NAZI sympathetic American businessmen in the 1930s .. and this is precisely why the Bush/Cheney regime criminals will never be prosecuted by Chiquita lawyer Eric Holder

7) Meanwhile, George H.W. Bush and Robert Gates had, while positioning a CIA backed corporate empire, sunk Jimmy Carter’s re-election by making a secret deal with Iran’s ayatollahs to keep the American Embassy hostages in Iran until after the 1980 election of Ronald Reagan. Since, the Reagan administration’s man in charge of coordinating Christian conservatism with government, Iran-Contra scandal implicated Attorney General Ed Meese, had mentored Antonin Scalia to the U.S. Supreme Court. After that, the Ed Meese inspired Federalist Society has provided us with three more justices, Clarence Thomas by association, and Samuel Alito and John Roberts by membership. The society has  many events and members featuring Bush associated criminal personalities to include Dick Cheney, Cheney’s former Vice Presidential counsel and mutual friend of John Roberts Shannen Coffin, Condoleezza Rice, and torture lawyer John Yoo. Dick Cheney was ranking Republican for the Iran-Contra Congressional hearings and that is how much damning information was suppressed

8 ) Again, Colonel Prouty had pointed to corporate boardroom centered, CIA backed ‘Secret Team’ new religion penetrating every facet of American security services, to include the FBI and military. Since, former Air Force officer and lawyer Mikey Weinstein has been documenting an extreme Christian cult military leadership having overtaken the USA’s Air Force Academy particularly, and force feeding our troops religious right propaganda throughout our military. Our Christian extremist Officers Christian Fellowship led Pentagon has, via Chiquita lawyer Eric Holder’s Department of Justice, been fighting Mikey Weinstein’s efforts tooth and nail

Additional notes: Throughout this information there emerges a portrait of wealthy men with careers in intelligence who profess patriotic motivation where action promotes self-serving/self-enriching interests. To put Colonel Prouty in simple terms, he’d told his story, giving excellent descriptions of what he’d seen in historical context and concluded ‘something here just doesn’t smell right.’ In the 40 years since, there have been many developments that can be seen as having filled in the blanks. That Jeff Sharlet (personal communication) cannot tie ‘The Family’ to ‘The Secret Team’ does not, in my view, detract from what otherwise can only be described as events beyond coincidence: The Dulles brothers connection as a common thread between 1930’s American businessmen involved with financing the 3rd Reich war machine, and the post WW II Dulles brothers positions and activities including rescuing NAZI crimiinals, with corporate boardroom ties spanning the entire period of criminal activities. If there had been a script written to fill in the blanks for the picture Colonel Prouty had drawn, ensuing events and what Jeff has documented entirely independently appears a close match. As noted in Colonel Prouty’s work, the CIA (and elements of the larger intelligence community) is organized into cells, which more often than not, are not aware of each other or assignments and objectives. There is a large redundancy built into these organizations to prevent mission failure, were one element to be penetrated and/or exposed. This is a premier challenge facing people in the business of espionage. With men like Allen Dulles at the point of a concerted effort at treason, it stands to reason any corporate boardroom ventures bent on the undermining of democracy and overthrow of our republic based on motivation of narcissistic greed shrouded in facade of ‘god and country’ would be organized into cells of the same nature. The Department of State and the CIA are siamese twins and that was never more apparent than in the case of the Dulles brothers, with John Foster Dulles as Secretary of State and Allen Dulles as Director of Central Intelligence. That Prescott Bush is tied to the pre-war Dulles brothers business ventures with the 3rd Reich and George H.W. Bush is tied to the post war Dulles brothers business empire, is beyond dispute. The pre and post WW II crimes on all parties part, individuals and corporations, appear to merge at critical times in the operational sector of the CIA, which gives Colonel Prouty’s hypothesis credit. What clinched it for me, is my running these proposed facts by my Department of State insider for confirmation and I quote the reply: ”One word: Yup. I don’t remember all the details, and that’s what makes it difficult to make a case. I’ve never kept reference lists for all I’ve read, in part because a good portion of it might still be classified.”
Also it should be noted here there are many over-lapping branches of extreme Christian fundamentalism. Not all right-wing evangelicals are pentecostals and the pentecostals themselves are a diverse group. And certainly not all evangelicals or pentecostals dedicate themselves to a church in supremacy over democracy, however many in both groups do. Additionally, there are elements of right-wing catholics who make common cause with these protestant extremists .. as appears to be the case with some lay catholics and certain societies such as Opus Dei and Pius X, also the present administration at the Vatican.
Beyond this, any ‘family’ or ’secret team’ (whether you believe they are different organizations or separate cells of the same) would not hesitate to utilize unsuspecting groups whom they held some beliefs in common with. In any group there almost certainly will be ‘levels’ of initiation or confidence, similar to security clearance, determining how proactive one is expected to be. This would be modeled after security technique of classified information made accessible to people on a ‘need to know’ basis. Keith Olberman series on “Crusaders” in Iraq (since covered up with minimal prosecutions)
