During @Greg_Palast Facebook podcast, with untold thousands watching, we learned about apropos troubling matters, like purging terms such as "caging" and other suppression tactics to block mostly democratic voting persons,
Including a multi term elected official vote was denied!
[br][hr][br]
According to Mr. Palast, over 7 million voters were illegally 🚫 last year; and that includes the Democratic tens of thousands in Michigan, where Hillary lost by a few thousand.
Greg Palast's book & activism is an immediate call to action. It doesn't matter what party affiliation you have, denying your Civil Right to vote is an assualt upon All of U.S. and sedition against the Constitution of the United States.
PLEASE follow this true American leader, hero and relentless activist who is fighting for All of U.S. ..at http//www.GregPalast.com and Twitter @Greg_Palast
And get his book which has plenty of cartoons by renowned activist Ted Rall who was fired by the Los Angeles Times under false pretense.
Palast also helped promot Ted Rall's up coming Motion Picture working with the greats of Ed Asner, Rosario Dawson, Shailene Woodley, Ice-T, Richard Belzer and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

(31,109 posts)GOP cant win a presidential election without committing election fraud.
Now, it has gone so far off the edge that elections no longer have meaning.

(9,760 posts)Is there some reason I'm missing that more Dems don't seem to pay attention to him. He seems legit. And his cause strikes me as a pretty important issue!

(7,805 posts)Greg Palast was black listed ...so he went to Europe, the BBC , Guardian and Al Jezera
His extraordinary methods and tenacity, working on voters being denied their Civil Rights, has garnered great interest.
Now he is back in the U.S.....which means we will see more of him (hopefully).

(7,805 posts)Palast has been investigating vote blocking ...for decades
He pointed out how it was stolen from Gore, in 2000, and it got worse for him when he pointed out Kerry won.
no outlet would publish any more of his articles
So he went overseas
In his own words from GregPalast.com
http://www.gregpalast.com/an-interview-with-greg-palast/
I'm best known for uncovering how Katherine Harris and Jeb Bush knocked off tens of thousands of Black citizens off the voter rolls of Florida just before the 2000 election. They were supposedly felons, but their only crime was Voting While Black.
This expose, and the ones on the theft of 2004, on the Bush-Ladin connection, on Enron, on Hugo Chavez, on Iraq these were all front page stories in the U.K., in Europe, in Latin Americahere, NADA. Look it up: NPR has never mentioned the purge of Black "felons" in Florida; the [New York] Times didn't acknowledge that story for four years.
I wrote a story in TomPaine and in the London Observer titled, "Kerry Won." I was contacted by the New York Times Washington Bureau days after the election, after I'd written my report indicating massive fraud in the 2004 vote. The Times reporter had two questions for me:
1. Are you a sore loser? [and]
2. Are you a conspiracy nut?
He hadn't the least interest in my offer to provide him evidence of votes uncounted and a racist voter-challenge campaign by the GOP (a story I reported on BBC Television, with documentation). Instead, the Times ran a story the next day headlined, "INTERNET THEORIES OF BUSH LOSS, SPREAD BY BLOGS, EASILY DEBUNKED."
