And an autographed copy of The Best Democracy Money Can Buy



Maybe you'll be lucky enough to receive something like this



But I'm not sharing. He's my quintessential man.


Greg Palast tweet



This is a 501(c)(3) corporation so it's tax deductible. All the money goes to Greg and his team for more investigations.

It is Greg Palast that brought us GOP-led Purge Threat to 3.5 Million Voters - Jim Crow Returns, From White Sheets to Spreadsheets, Vultures and Vote Rustlers, Bush Family Fortunes and so much more. He's the reason we know what happened in the 2000 Presidential election, and it wasn't Nader. Just imagine what he will do with your donation. Besides eat

Everything can be found on his website Greg Palast Investigates

If I had the money, I would gladly give it. We owe so much to him. One of the most recent investigation, the voter purging and cross check purge, is just the one in so many investigations that prove how the right wing nut jobs and the oligarchs are controlling the country.

1. This Greg Palast?

[marym625]

2. That's the one. But just being on InfoWars doesn't mean anything

He's been on Thom Hartmann a ton of times, on TYT, Al Jazeera, written for the Guardian, Truth Out, and so many other places

Not sure why you picked that

[7wo7rees]

3. One of the best investigative journalist we have.

Hands down!

(Oh and Mary, very envious. But I was at event in September of 2003 in Austin and he was in room right below ours in a unique motel for same event. Got to have brkfst with him on Sunday way to early am. Mine first., )

5. Hey! That's not fair!

Now I'm sad. Hoping YOU'LL share

[7wo7rees]

6. Don't be sad, I did not have my book with me and only got

a note to put in my book. I do believe there is plenty of him to share widely. He is the best!

[marym625]

8. Absolutely!

I honestly hate to think of what we wouldn't know if it weren't for him.

I guess I can share too. Grudgingly.

[7wo7rees]

10. That is the truth!! I am very thankful for him and believe

far more should be paying attention. Maybe that is what this doc coming now is for. We are being warned!!

[marym625]

11. Probably.

I started reading his stuff back in the 90s. His work on Fukashima and the Exxon Valdez, BP, etc has been untouchable and some of the only truth about all that.

But the End Game Memo is by far the most important thing that's ever been reported, imho

[ananda]

29. *jealous*

[merrily]

7. DU's right doesn't seem to have a problem with being on Fox, duz they?

[marym625]

9. I would hope not

I think I misinterpreted her post. My bad. I apologize.

[marym625]

4. This Greg Palast

I could go on but it's getting too big. I think I misinterpreted your post. Sorry. Though the links are good for people who don't know him

[ChisolmTrailDem]

26. Did you fucking read "Armed Madhouse"? If so, where in it do you see anything that would...

...discredit Palast?

[merrily]

12. Palast has been great, especially as to "vote caging." Thanks for this post, marym625!

[marym625]

15. So true.

Thanks for the kick! Hoping to see a DUer as a producer or coproducer on the movie

[merrily]

19. How would we know? We don't know the real names of any DUers.

[marym625]

23. maybe they would be happy enough to share at that point

Ya never know.

[merrily]

24. I'd brag with my real name. Photo, too. And address, just so no one confuses me with another merrily

[marym625]

25. LOL

Or Marily

[librechik]

13. He's mine, so back off

I hugged him. Twice. On two occasions.

Pallast is the best.

(Nah, go ahead. He needs the love!)

[merrily]

16. Wait. You all know Palast is not the guy from The Notebook, right?

[marym625]

17. Man, I thought I was special to him

Now I'm just sad.

How did that come about?

Yes, we all owe him a debt of gratitude. Wish I could afford the Producer cred.

[librechik]

18. In my long small-time journalism career I insisted on interviewing all my idols

when they passed thru Denver. I spent several hours with Henry Rollins, too! Among others. But Pallast is a special man indeed!

[marym625]

22. Wow! I'm seriously impressed!

That's so cool. I would love to read what you wrote.

Yes, he sure is. And he never stops fighting. Doesn't ever sell out. I'm sure he could easily be one of the 1% if he chose a different path. We're so lucky he hasn't.

14. Greg Palast and marym625 are TOPS!

An example of why TPP matters more than Rupert Murdoch wants anyone to know...

Larry Summers and the Secret "End-Game" Memo

Thursday, August 22, 2013
By Greg Palast for Vice Magazine

EXCERPT...

The year was 1997. US Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin was pushing hard to de-regulate banks. That required, first, repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act to dismantle the barrier between commercial banks and investment banks. It was like replacing bank vaults with roulette wheels.

Second, the banks wanted the right to play a new high-risk game: "derivatives trading." JP Morgan alone would soon carry $88 trillion of these pseudo-securities on its books as "assets."

Deputy Treasury Secretary Summers (soon to replace Rubin as Secretary) body-blocked any attempt to control derivatives.

But what was the use of turning US banks into derivatives casinos if money would flee to nations with safer banking laws?

[font color="green"]The answer conceived by the Big Bank Five: eliminate controls on banks in every nation on the planet – in one single move. It was as brilliant as it was insanely dangerous. [/font color]

Thanks for the heads-up, marym625!

[marym625]

20. I posted this on DU, in full, earlier this summer.

With his permission.

This is the most important story he, or anyone, has done about the world economy collapse. And the fact Larry Summers was nominated by President Obama and is a close advisor to Hillary Clinton, should be a warning sign to everyone.

I'm so tired of the oligarchs. I'm so tired of the bought and paid for politicians. That's why I'm fighting so hard for the California FREE Act.

While Wolf Pac and other great organizations are fighting to overturn Citizens United, Americans Take Action is fighting on the State level.

Thank you for posting this, Octafish. You rock!

I don't come close to deserving to be in the subject line of your post. But I do, very much, thank you!

21. Good ole Summers, huh?

Repeal of Glass Steagall in 1999 and the Commodities Futures Financial Services Act of 2000-- say hello to economic collapse in 2008.

But, sorry, that's OT. Hard to forget, though.

27. Best and most important investigative reporter alive today.

Thanks for reminding me to check out his site for anything new.

I may just have to donate to this one.

[marym625]

28. Couldn't agree more!

Awesome! I helped! Thank you!

[merrily]

30. Yeah, ya did.

[marym625]

31. Thank you, merrily!
