Every American should watch this.
This is the true and easily found story of the Bush family history of looting this country. You won't get it from the mainstream corporate owned media even though the information is right there for them to pick up.

Michael Moore's dorm buddy
Yes, there is hardly anrguement made in this film that was not made in FAHRENHEIT 9/11, but it appears Greg Palast serves dual roles in this film, asserting the corruption and greedy of the Bush Administration, and confriming that Michael Moore is indeed, NOT a liar (Moore is actually given VERY SPECIAL THANKS in the end credits.) <
> <
>While Michael Moore is known as a populist rabble-rouser (and, of course, reviled by conservatives everwhere as a "Lying Propagandist"), Palast is more of a resourceful gumshoe. While Michael moore proudly where a Michigan State University cap, palast dons a fedora. <
>Indeed, BUSH FAMILY FORTUNES elaborates on a number of arguements commonly made against George W. Bush. For example, did he ever serve his coutry during the Vietnam War? Well, that's what cradle-to-grave conservative Republican politicians and voters would have you bleieve. <
>But not according to the assisstant to George Texas Air Guard General (the General is deceased), who states unequvically, on camera, that while Bush was Governor of Texas, his underlings called in and order any shred of evidence that Bush went AWOL to be removed from his military records and be, well, shredded!!! <
>And what about the 2000 election. Palast takes this even further than did Moore, with his discovery the some 94,000 Florida voters, mostly blacks, were forbidden to vote because they were listed as felons. Were they? Well, Palast discovers that the list of felons forbidden to vote in Florida in 2000 was 95% inaccuarate, and that these people who were barred from voting would more than likely have swung Florida, and thus the Presidency, for Al Gore. This is due to the fact that Bush campaign manager Katherine Harris, conviently also the woman in charge of the Florida vote count paid DBT ChoicePoint $4 million to come up with a list of names of felons, who should not be allowed to vote, and then telling ChoicePoint not to bother verifiying the accuracy of the list, thus barring Floridians voters (the majority, Palast asserts, Democrats) from voting because their names are similar to convicted felons anywhere in the U.S. <
>And finally we come, as all Anti-Bush documentaries must, to the War in Iraq, and Palast essentially proves without a shadow of a doubt that indeed, it WAS for oil. <
>Aside from Bush going on live television and forbidding Iraqis from desroying oil wells, Palast also uncovers a confedential White House document, "written long before the war started" the lays out plans the divide and privitize all of Iraq's assets, "especially those in oil." <
>And if that doesn't convince you, than how about the evidence that Cheney prepared for the Iraq war by studying maps of Iraq with Oil company CEO's. This has recntly gotten more media attention in the face of oil companies making record profits in the wake of the recnt takeoff in gas prices. This, I imagine, is going to provide a massive blow to the Bush Administration's already sagging Public Approval ratings. <
>If you let the liars and conservative Bush supporters trick you into beliving that Michael Moore's FAHRENHEIT 9/11 is full of lies (Moore critic and unapologetic liar Dave Kopel, in the film FAHRENHYPE 9/11, calls the allegetion that we invaded Iraq for oil "Preposterous"), then let Mr. Palast be your guide.
