Superb analysis as usual from Griffin.
I joined his international group and have requested permission to put this article on
my website as a pdf to be downloaded.
Each and every one of you should forward this to your contacts.

Dear friend
This post consists of an analysis that you will probably find on no other website.
G. Edward Griffin is, in my opinion, a researcher without equal. Please note the
references several books -- one of his own being about the Federal Reserve System and
how it works. Another by Prof. Carrol Quigley titled "Tragedy and Hope" is an inside
look at the political system that explains the political party system as it is today.
It is an eye-opener for the uninitiated.
I'd be interested in your comments.

Fahrenheit 911; The Other Half of the Story
� July 17, 2004 by G. Edward Griffin
Last month, just four months before the 2004 presidential
elections in the U.S., film producer, Michael Moore, released a
feature-length documentary film entitled Fahrenheit 911 . It was a powerful
condemnation of the George W. Bush Administration with particular focus on the U.S.
war in Iraq. Moore compiled an amazing collection of video clips showing Bush and key
members of his Administration in off-guarded moments and in situations where a lack of
sincerity was glaringly evident. The story that emerges shows the Bush family closely
allied with Saudi princes and the bin Ladin Family in business ventures that profit
from war production and from the vast oil reserves in the Middle East. It hammers hard
on the human suffering caused by a war, not to destroy a terrorist
stronghold, but to gain access to oil resources and provide lucrative government
contracts. Moore�s creative talent was applied with precision and resulted in what may
become a new genre of political filmmaking. The effect was devastating to Bush and his
supporters who were left with little defense except to claim that the production was
biased and that certain statements were not correct.
This is my analysis of Fahrenheit 911 .
1. The program is biased, and certain statements are not entirely
correct, but every important fact it portrays is true.
2. In addition to profits from oil resources and government war
contracts, there is a second motive that also drives U.S. foreign policy in the
Middle East and elsewhere. It is the creation of a New World Order based on the model
of collectivism, and it is supported with equal vigor by leaders of both major
political parties. Mr. Bush and his team are deeply committed to that goal. [For an
in-depth examination of this agenda, see The Future Is Calling in the Issues section
of the Freedom Force web site,
http://www.freedom-force.org.] Fahrenheit 911 gives no attention to that agenda
and even goes so far as to claim that it plays no role in these events. That theme was
advanced in a statement from one of the on-camera experts who said, "This has nothing
to do with conspiracies or political agendas. It�s all about oil and making money."
3. Omission of this bi-partisan political agenda makes it possible
to deliver the message that America�s problems in the Middle East are caused by
greedy, war-mongering Republicans who are in power and that the obvious solution is to
replace them with humanitarian, peace-loving Democrats. This message was implied
throughout the film, but it broke through in clear language when a young soldier said,
"I used to be a Republican, but when I get back home, I�m going to work hard to get
Democrats elected." If the film had acknowledged the New World Order agenda of the
Bush Administration, it would have led to the fact that leaders of the Democrat Party,
including its presidential candidate John Kerry, share the same vision, and the
partisan message would not have been possible.
4. The carefully crafted content of the film and the timing of its
release make it clear that it was conceived as a covert campaign tool for the
Democrat Party and the John Kerry campaign. It follows what I call the Quigley
Formula, based on the strategy advocated by Professor Carroll Quigley, President
Clinton�s mentor when he was a student at Georgetown University. In his book, Tragedy
and Hope , Quigley explained the value of allowing people to believe that, by choosing
between the Democrat and Republican parties, they are determining their own political
destiny. To a collectivist like Quigley, this is a necessary illusion to prevent
voters from meddling into the important affairs of state. If you have ever
wondered why the two American parties appear so different at election time but not
so different afterward, listen carefully to Quigley�s approving overview of American
politics:
The National parties and their presidential candidates, with the Eastern
Establishment assiduously fostering the process behind the scenes, moved closer
together and nearly met in the center with almost identical candidates and platforms,
although the process was concealed as much as possible, by the revival of obsolescent
or meaningless war cries and slogans (often going back to the Civil War). � The
argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one,
perhaps, of the Right and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to
the doctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead, the two parties should be almost
identical, so that the American people can "throw the rascals out"
at any election without leading to any profound or extreme shifts in policy. �
Either party in office becomes in time corrupt, tired,
unenterprising, and vigorless. Then it should be possible to replace it, every
four years if necessary, by the other party, which will be none of these things but
will still pursue, with new vigor, approximately the same basic policies. [Carroll
Quigley, Tragedy and Hope: A History of the World in Our Time (New York: Macmillan,
1966), pp. 1247-1248.] Inevitably, the mind turns to the question: Was this the
intention of Michael Moore? My opinion � no, that is too strong a word � my suspicion
is that Moore probably was not consciously implementing the Quigley Formula. However,
there are powerful economic factors that would have compelled him to follow it in any
event. Anyone who has done as much research into this matter as he has must have come
across voluminous information about the political agenda. However, if any of it had
appeared in his film, it would have been unacceptable to the Democrat Party. Without
the enthusiastic support of that powerful sector, there would !
have been
small chance for film distribution and even less for box-office success. Many
people want simple solutions for political problems. They are not interested in
complexities. When confronted with the fact that both major parties are committed to
the same agenda, their reaction is: "OK, but who ya gonna vote for?" That, of course,
reveals that they don't really understand the Quigley Formula. They honestly believe
that their vote for one of the two major presidential candidates makes a difference.
This simplifies things a lot for them, because all the complex issues can be boiled
down into just one decision: "Who ya gonna vote for?" In the real world, things are
not that simple. First, presidents are not yet absolute monarchs, although that
clearly is the trend. Their power still can be curtailed by Congress. We may not have
much influence in the election of a president, but we can, with sufficient effort at
the
precinct level, have significant effect on the outcome of congressional races.
Second, there are candidates from other parties who may be worthy
of our support. "But he can�t win," is the common response. My reply is so what?
Elections are not football pools in which the object is to win a bet. The purpose of
an election is, not to pick winners, but to support candidates who reflect our
political philosophy. Even if a candidate does not win, the size of his vote is a
visible measure of the number of people who support his philosophy, and that can
become an important element in shaping public policy. There is no virtue in voting for
a winner if he is a collectivist dedicated to our enslavement. Casting votes and
working for candidates, as important as those activities are, represent merely the
entry-level of political activism. As long as candidates and issues are chosen by
collectivists, there is no hope for meaningful reform. The real action lies in
participating in the process that selects the candidates and defines the issues. This
is possible only by seeking influence and leadership in political parties, gov!
ernment agencies, educational institutions, media organizations, and other power
centers of society. That is the mission of Freedom Force International.
