John Buchanan Detained by Secret Service!

[John Wilmerding]

A bit of background on this story:  John Buchanan came to our attention last summer, when he researched and released new information regarding the proven and documented ties between the Bush Family and German Nazis between the years of 1923 and 1952.  CERJ had been interested in this series of stories for several years, partly because the disclosures of several reputable authors and analysts were completely ignored by the mass media, but also because CERJ is interested in any structures and functions of society that result in inequitable or unjust outcomes and public policies.

Buchanan's original contribution was to unearth new documents proving the Bush/Nazi connections continued beyond 1942 (when the activities of Prescott Bush and others came to the attention of the US Government and were supposedly halted) to 1951, when Prescott finally cashed out $1,500,000 in his and his father-in-law's stock investment in a corporate funding scheme that was also supported by John D. Rockefeller and his family heirs.

Bush connections with shady dealings during the approximately three-decade period of involvement with the Nazis included the funding of eugenics schemes and conferences in the United States that resulted in laws passed under which tens of thousands of people were sterilized, precedents that were copied by the Hitler Nazi regime in initiating the genocide of over six million people.  It has been proven that Prescott Bush was in managerial control of corporate assets in Silesia, Poland, near Auschwitz, and there are indications that Bush -- when he cashed out his investments in 1951, and perhaps with dividends before that -- profited from Auschwitz-Birkenau slave labor in occupied Silesia.

Other researchers with the CERJ-VERITAS project have documented the carry-over of Nazi covert operatives into covert US service with the CIA and other agencies during this period, and in one case, George Herbert Walker Bush, the former president, has been alleged to have had an association in Miami with former leading Nazi secret service officer Helmut Streicher.  John Buchanan's research contributions extend the history of the Bush associations with German Nazis to Prescott Bush's sponsorship and involvement of post-war movements of former Nazi officials to South America, and to the United States under the secret 'Operation Paper Clip'.  CERJ-VERITAS researches continue to this day.

The major corporate 'players' in the covert scheme of US investments in the Nazi war machine included leading banking houses such as Brown Brothers Harriman, the prominent Harriman, Rockefeller, and other families, and the German industrial conglomerate of August Thyssen and his son Fritz Thyssen, which has since swallowed up the Krupp industrial giant and become Germany's largest industrial group, ThyssenKrupp.

This is not about prosecuting the Bush family for crimes, though crimes did indeed occur, and most grievous ones at that.  Rather, it is about the kinds of corporate and financial systems that exist in the world today, and about the monumental injustices and crimes against humanity that they often incur.
And most of all, it is about learning the lessons of history and the past, in order that history might not repeat itself.

CERJer & Republican Challenger to George Walker Bush
for the Office of President of the United States is Detained
by the US Secret Service; Demands Congressional Inquiry 
Into "Conspiracy Of Harassment" 

Washington, DC --  John Buchanan, the Miami Beach investigative journalist who ran as the 'truth candidate' against President George W. Bush in the January 27 New Hampshire Republican primary, has issued a formal demand for a Congressional inquiry into his February 4, 2004 detention by the U.S. Secret Service at Baltimore-Washington International Airport.

The incident is now being investigated by Republican staff members of the U.S. House Committee on the Judiciary, with whom Buchanan met February 5.

Series of "False Police Reports"

Buchanan, 53, charges in a detailed written presentation to the Judiciary Committee that his two hours of questioning at the airport, as he was en route to speak at The National Press Club last Wednesday evening, were the culmination of a still-unexplained series of false police reports filed against Buchanan between October 19, 2003 and last week as part of what Buchanan claims is an ongoing program of harassment and political dirty tricks.

Buchanan s deputy campaign manager, Mimi Adams of Albuquerque, NM, agrees that the long-shot candidate is under attack.  His campaign has been sabotaged in every way imaginable, including an inappropriately aggressive interrogation by the Secret Service and a veiled threat to go back to Miami and keep his mouth shut, says Adams, who worked on both Texas gubernatorial campaigns of Ann Richards.

"The Bush administration is in for a shock, because John Buchanan won t quit until justice is done," said Adams.  "He feels, and I agree, that everything this country has ever stood for is at stake right now."

Buchanan Broke Bush/Nazi Story into Mass Media

Last September, Buchanan became the first journalist in U.S. history to see newly declassified government documents, at the U.S. National Archives and Library of Congress, that prove the 27-year history of collaboration with the WW II German Nazis by Prescott Bush, the grandfather of George W. Bush, and by George Herbert Walker, his maternal great-grandfather.  In October and November, Buchanan published a series of articles on this topic in The New Hampshire Gazette, founded in 1756 and the oldest newspaper in America.  Those articles can be read online at:

In mid-October, the Associated Press (AP) ran a story worldwide that credited Buchanan with his scoop.

Police Harassment Started Shortly Thereafter

On October 19, Miami Beach Police knocked on the reporter's apartment door and questioned him based on an alleged "tip" that he was plotting to kill the President.  The next day, Miami Beach detectives appeared at Buchanan s door, this time on a complaint from The Miami Herald that Buchanan might be a terror suspect plotting to blow up the headquarters of Knight-Ridder newspapers. Despite a phone complaint by Buchanan to the Washington and Miami offices of the FBI, no action has been taken to look into his allegations.

Miami Beach Police have apparently made no attempt to investigate the sources of the false police complaints, nor has Mayor David Dermer offered any help, according to Buchanan.

"He has known me and my work for six years," says Buchanan.  "Ever since this drama began when I found the Bush-Nazi documents, Mayor Dermer has been inexplicably silent.  He has shown no courage, and is therefore, in my opinion, unfit for office."  Buchanan is now calling for Mayor Dermer s resignation or removal from office by the Florida Attorney General.

Buchanan also claims that during the time he was campaigning for President in New Hampshire last month, the state chair of the New Hampshire Republican Party, Jayne Millerick, "filed a false police report against him for harassment".  Buchanan claims that eyewitnesses -- including a Buffalo, NY newspaper reporter, a van driver, and two members of his campaign team -- saw her instruct two individuals to eject him from her Concord office.  Buchanan also alleges that Concord Police and the FBI refused to investigate the matter.

Finds Ally in Former Opponent

John now reports that he "found a powerful ally -- former Berlin, NH mayor Richard Bosa, a wealthy international businessman who beat Buchanan by three votes (in the Primary) to end in a dead heat for second place in a 14-member Republican field."

"The Bush administration, Karl Rove, the Republican National Committee and the New Hampshire Republican State Committee, led by Jayne Millerick, have obstructed the entire electoral process and broken the law by filing false police reports against Mr. Buchanan and others," Bosa is credited with saying.  "Now they are using the U.S. Secret Service and Baltimore-Washington Airport Police to try to intimidate Mr. Buchanan into silence.  It will not work.  He is more determined than ever to expose the truth about this administration to the American people and the world."

Buchanan reports that Bosa says he intends to back Buchanan's demand for a full Congressional inquiry and U.S. Department of Justice investigation of recent events.  Bosa has apparently already been interviewed by House Judiciary Committee investigator Thad Bingel, who has also interviewed other key sources such as Buchanan's Deputy Campaign Manager Mimi Adams in New Mexico.

Buchanan spent several hours on Thursday, February 5, with Congressional investigator Bingel and Rob Foster, a senior Republican counsel to the House Judiciary Committee.

Bingel has already begun interviewing key witnesses.

Buchanan is Optimistic, Defiant

"I feel that I m in good hands," Buchanan says.  "I have finally found honorable Republican public servants who will help ensure that justice is done in the name of the American people, in full public view."

Buchanan says he will make a formal presentation to the judiciary committee by Wednesday.  After that, he intends to return to Capitol Hill, along with other key witnesses, before formal hearings are held later this spring.

"My country has been subverted by a gang of criminals who can have me taken off an airplane as a possible assassin," says Buchanan.  "History will record that the President was, in fact, 'assassinated' by me, in the name of all honorable Americans, but with truth and the facts, not bullets or violence."
