DESCRIPTION:BUSH FAMILY FORTUNES \n\nThis intriguing Greg Palast film explores the many 
 connections between the Bush family and the Saudi Royal family and the Bin 
 Laden family of Saudi Arabia. It covers much of the same Saudi ground as 
 “Fahrenheit 9/11” did. But it makes a bolder assertion: that the real 
 reason for the war in Iraq is to wrest incredibly rich oil fields from 
 Iraqi control and give them to international oil corporations. There is a 
 lot of background on George Bush's early career in the oil business and in 
 Texas politics, and how Bush and Saudi money and influence smoothed over 
 the bumps in his spotted career. This is very provocative stuff. What 
 emerges is a story about a spoiled rich kid who never really had to suffer 
 the consequences of his life choices. More than any other documentary, this 
 one shows how Bush's life of regal privilege has convinced him that he can 
 get away with anything. He benefitted from powerful connections which 
 smoothed over his problems. Way back behind him, pulling the strings and 
 providing ample money, is the vast wealth of the Saudi Royal family, the 
 Bin Laden family and Enron money, before Enron went belly up. It explains 
 the energy policy and the current military strategy of the U.S. If you want 
 to know where that policy came from, just follow the money. \n\nBefore and 
 after the film, everyone's invited to indulge in our Humanist Tea House 
 \n\n$5 donations are accepted \n\n
