Part 4/9:

To fully grasp George H.W. Bush's trajectory, one must consider the legacy of his family. His father, Prescott Bush, hailing from an established Northeastern family, significantly advanced the family's status through banking and political connections. Prescott was a member of the prestigious Skull and Bones society at Yale, an entry point for many who would go on to work in intelligence and government. His marriage into the Walker family further cemented the Bush lineage in American high finance.

Prescott's Wall Street connections positioned him within circles that would later intersect with key intelligence figures. Notably, he was involved in financing German industrial interests during World War II, establishing a pattern of complicity with international power brokers.
