Biography[edit]

Griffin was born in Detroit, Michigan, on November 7, 1931, and became a childvoice actor on local radio from 1942 to 1947. He later emceed at WJR (CBS), and continued as an assistant announcer at the public radio station WUOM. He earned his bachelor's degree from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor in 1953, majoring in speech and communications. In 1954, he served in the United States Army, and in 1956 was discharged as a sergeant.^[7]

Griffin worked as a writer for Curtis LeMay, vice presidential running mate for George Wallace during his 1968 United States Presidential campaign.^[7] Shortly thereafter, he began writing and producing documentary-style videos about the same controversial topics covered in his books, such as cancer, the historical authenticity of Noah's Ark, the Federal Reserve System, the Supreme Court of the United States, terrorism, subversion, and foreign policy.^[8]

Political advocacy[edit]

In 1964, Griffin wrote his first book, The Fearful Master, on the United Nations, a topic that recurs throughout his writings. While he describes his work as the output of 'a plain vanilla researcher,' Griffin also agrees with the Los Angeles Daily News's characterization of him as 'Crusader Rabbit'.^[9]

Griffin has been a member and officer of the John Birch Society (JBS) for much of his life^[10] and a contributing editor to its magazine, The New American.^[11] Since the 1960s, Griffin has spoken and written about the Society's theory of history involving 'communist and capitalist conspiracies' over banking systems (including the Federal Reserve System), International banking, United States foreign policy, the U.S. military–industrial complex, the American news and entertainment media as propaganda, the Supreme Court of the United States, and the United Nations.^[12]^[13] From 1962 to 1975, he completed nine books and seven film productions; his 1969 video lecture, More Deadly Than War: The Communist Revolution in America, was printed in English and Dutch. In 1974, he published World Without Cancer, and in 1975, he wrote a sympathetic biography of JBS founder Robert W. Welch.^[14]^[15]

In May 2009, Griffin helped Robert L. Schulz and Edwin Vieira organize a meeting at Jekyll Island of thirty people including 'radical tax protesters, militiamen, nativist extremists, anti-Obama 'birthers,' hard-line libertarians, conspiracy-minded individuals with theories about secret government concentration camps, even a raging anti-Semite named Edgar Steele.'^[16] Speakers at the meeting 'warned of 'increasing national instability,' worried about a coming 'New World Order,' denounced secret schemes to merge Canada, Mexico and the United States, and furiously attacked the new president's 'socialized' policies and failure to end illegal immigration,' and attendees made plans for a 'continental congress' that occurred in November 2009 that was hosted by the We the People Foundation.^[16] Griffin was the first to speak at the Jekyll Island meeting and he 'told conferees that merely putting 'large numbers of people in the street' was not enough. 'We must,' he said, 'achieve power.'^[16]

He founded an organization called 'Freedom Force International' that put on conventions, like a 'Red Pill Expo' in Bozeman, Montana in 2017 which, according to the local newspaper, 'its organizers say, promotes freedom of choice, (but) has been criticized by human rights proponents as an “alt-right” recruiting attempt.'^[17]

Conspiracy theories and fringe science[edit]

The Creature from Jekyll Island[edit]

Griffin's 1994 book, The Creature from Jekyll Island, draws parallels between the Federal Reserve and a bird of prey.

He has opposed the Federal Reserve since the 1960s, saying it constitutes a banking cartel and an instrument of war and totalitarianism.^[5]^[18] Griffin presented his views on the U.S. money system in his 1993 movie and 1994 book on the Federal Reserve System, The Creature from Jekyll Island.^[7]^[a] The book was a business-topic bestseller.^[20]^[21] The book also influenced Ron Paul when he wrote a chapter on money and the Federal Reserve in his New York Times bestseller, The Revolution: A Manifesto.^[22]

Edward Flaherty, an academic economist writing for Political Research Associates, characterized Griffin's description of the secret meeting on Jekyll Island as 'paranoid,' 'amateurish,' and 'academically suspect.'^[23]Jesse Walker, the books editor for Reason magazine, says the book has grains of truth but 'reduce[s] things too much to a certain narrative, where the mustache-twirlers are behind everything.'^[5]

Cancer, chemtrails, and AIDS denial[edit]

In 1973, Griffin wrote and self-published the book World Without Cancer and released it as a video;^[24]^[25] its second edition appeared in 1997. In the book and the video, Griffin asserts that cancer is a metabolic disease like a vitamin deficiency facilitated by the insufficient dietary consumption of amygdalin. He contends that 'eliminating cancer through a nondrug therapy has not been accepted because of the hidden economic and power agendas of those who dominate the medical establishment'^[26] and he wrote, 'at the very top of the world's economic and political pyramid of power there is a grouping of financial, political, and industrial interests that, by the very nature of their goals, are the natural enemies of the nutritional approaches to health.'^[27]

Since the 1970s, the use of laetrile to treat cancer has been identified in the scientif
