Love him or hate him, Michael Moore is here to kick ass and take names. More importantly, he gives us the facts, tells us who was involved, and lets us decide for ouselves if we want to start kicking ass, or keep getting screwed.
This carefully documented book makes it abundatly clear that the current unelected administration should be removed from office and hung from the nearest power pole for treason.
If you believe that a real working Democracy depends on a well informed population, then do the country a favor and start informing yourself by reading this book.

Did Hitler simply seize power through a few inspirational speeches, or did he use fear, intimidation, and a well funded propaganda campaign (backed by wealthy industrialists who thought Fascism would be a great way to boost the bottom line) to drive his country into war?
The story of IG Farben is an Enron executive's wet dream. IG Farben was the German industrial monopoly that turned the once Democratic Germany into a tool for terror and global domination simply because it was good for business.
Mussolini said, "Fascism, should more apropriately be called Corporateism, because it is the merger of State and Corporate Power." But more to the point, Fascism is great for the bottom line. Especially if your Business is war.
If you've never heard of IG Farben, then the real story of Hitler's rise to power and the Military Industrial Complex that backed him may come as a shock. Especially given the paralels and connections between the administrations of both President's Bush who were backed by many of the same people and corporations that backed Hitler.
Upon reflection, the fact that the Bush family and their business partners helped finance the rise of Hitler is hardly a surprise given former head of the CIA George H. W. Bush's lifelong efforts to arm and finance fundamentalist right-wing dictatorships throughout the world. (Need I mention Saddam Hussein, Bin Laden's Mujhadin, the Contras, and Saudi Arabia?)

Considering Bush Junta's maniacal drive toward war, some of you may be wondering how the Benevolent Machine of Media and Government could be used to start a war on the other side of the world by lying to congress, ignoring public opinion, and compounding the massive fraud by sticking American tax payers with the bill.
Some of you might also remember that it's all happened before. He who does not learn from history is doomed to repeat it.

If you've heard anything about the Bush administration's habit of doing business with terrorists, arms dealers, and drug dealers, you might find it interesting to know that treason and trading with the enemy are a long and lucrative tradition for the Bush family and their business partners.
As if training and financing the rise of Saddam Hussein, Osama Bin Laden, Manuel Noriega, and the Contras (while rigging the Florida election and collapsing a few Savings and Loans) weren't enough, Grandpa Prescott Bush also helped the giants of American industry rebuild the Nazi war machine and built the family fortune on that terror and bloodshed.
Prescott Bush, and his lawyers the Dulles brothers, did everything in their power to merge their clients (Standard Oil, ITT, Ford, GM, Dupont, and GE to name a few) with the German Industrial Combine IG Farben, in an elaborate plan to divide the world's resources and markets under a Fascist Oligarchy led by the business leaders of the day (themselves).
For those who haven't heard a definition of Fascism lately, I refer to Benito Mussilini (who should know): "Fascism should more appropriately be called 'Corporatism' because it is the merger of State and Corporate power."
Read up kids, history repeats itself . Everything old is new again. . .

By Webster G. Tarpley and Anton Chaitkin
(Available on-line)
From the Introduction:
The volume which we submit herewith to the court of world public opinion is, to the best of our knowledge, the first and only book- length, unauthorized biography of George Bush. It is the first approximation of the truth about his life. This is the first biography worthy of the name, a fact that says a great deal about the sinister power and obsessive secrecy of this personage. None of the other self-announced biographies (including Bush's campaign autobiography) can be taken seriously; each of these books is a pastiche of lies, distortions and banalities that run the gamut from campaign panegyric to the Goebbels Big Lie to fake but edifying stories for credulous children. Almost without exception, the available Bush literature is worthless.

An Illustrated Exposé
By Joel Andreas
"The U.S., with 4.5% of the world's population, arrogantly plunders the world's resources and cultures tp support its American Way Of Life. Addicted to War illustrates why the U.S. in NECESSARILY dependent upon war to feed its shameful consumption patterns."
-S. Brian Willson, Vietnam veteran and anti-war activist
If pictures say 1000 words, this book says more than a shelf of encyclopedias about Corporate America's Blood-Lust Diplomacy.

By Gore Vidal
From the back cover:
The United States has been engaged in what the great historian Charles A. Beard called "perpetual war for perpetual peace." The Federation of American Scientists has catalogued nearly two hundred military incursions since 1945 in which the United States has been the aggressor. In a series of penetrating and alarming essays, whose centerpiece is a commentary on the events of September 11,2001 (deemed too controversial to be published in America until now), Gore Vidal challenges the comforting consensus following both September 11th and Timothy McVeigh's bombing of the federal building in Oklahoma City: these were simply the act of "evil-doers".

"This is the story of Barry Seal, the biggest drug smuggler in American history, who died in a hail of bullets with George Bush's private phone number in his wallet. . ."
So begins this mindblowing book on the deep and sordid history of American "counterintelligence" and the secret wars for guns, drugs, and oil played out by a revolving cast of politicians and businessmen since World War II.
It seems the CIA's primary job since its creation has been the arming, training, and financing of right-wing dictators who protect our oil, but later become our "NEW WORST ENEMY!" Ever heard of Saddam Hussein? Manuel Noriega? Fidel Castro? Augusto Pinochet? Ho Chi Minh? Or the terrorist breeding-ground of Saudi Arabia? George Bush's CIA knows them well, as this book shows, they go WAY BACK.
With friends like these, who needs enemies?

If the CIA and FBI have recently been dedicated to protecting the people of America, it begs the question of what exactly they were doing before this momentous change in assignment. In the case of the CIA, the Agency's information analysis mission has been dwarfed by its "Counter Intelligence" mission. From assassinations and rigging elections, to protecting "National Security" by supplying right-wing extremists with weapons and training them to export drugs and terrorize the local peasants, the CIA has always been happy to ignore our constitution and turn the definition of Democracy on its head.
This book is a clear and concise overview of what the CIA has been doing all these years while claiming to protect the people of America. If you like to bury your head in the sand and ignore the facts, this is not the book for you.

If you think Enron is a one-of-a-kind accident, you might want to research on the long forgotten Savings and Loan Scandal. As the long history of corporate-backed corruption in our political system becomes more undeniable each day and confused congressmen wander through the halls of congress asking aloud 'how could this happen?' perhaps now is a good time to take another look at the last major political/corporate scandal that allowed the Bush family and their business partners to use our government to steal our tax money and destroy the lives of countless Americans.
