Interview with Webster Tarpley, author of The Unauthorized Biography of George Bush. The Ford Presidency is analyzed, from Gerald Ford's participation on the Warren Commission; the Watergating of Richard Nixon; Ford's appointment to the Vice Presidency upon Spiro Agnew's resignation; his ascension to the Presidency with Nixon's resignation; the selection of Ford's Vice President; and the stolen 1976 Presidential election.

I haven't had time to listen to this yet, but I heard Tarpley talk for 5 minutes on Ford a week or so ago. Ford was just a flunky of the banking interests, same as most of the other federal politicians in the U.S. Especially interesting was how Ford played the blushing bride part when Reagan was about to be nominated for President. I recall the interviews at the time, with the talking heads asking Ford if he'd accept the Vice-President job under Reagan (would've been the first time a former Pres became VP). Ford indicated he would, then at the last minute he backed out and the only alternative Reagan had was Bush (he hated Bush, "voodoo economics"). So that was how Ford helped get the Bush dynasty going.
