A message from Greg Palast.

[Cassandra]

I'm just back from the Palast event here in NYC and haven't even opened to the new chapters in his paperback edition of Armed Madhouse but Greg had a message:
Buy or borrow the book and put passages, whole chapters, whatever you want online and spread the message virally. He wants the voter suppression material and Rove's 2008 plans particularly, out on the internet from as many directions as possible. No copyright problems with this. Seriously. I will post some of it tomorrow.
As for the event, it was great. Greg was great, Randi fabulous and RFK jr. gave a barnburner of a speech (and was in relatively good voice, too).

1. He said the same thing at the Oakland California event

last week ...

2. Well, I'm glad I heard him correctly.

Did he have anyone join him in Oakland?

[proud patriot]

3. I'd be more than happy to do that, but I have the first issue of his book.

I've just started reading it, but I suspect it doesn't have anything about the 08 election in it.

Sorr Greg, but I can't afford to buy every issue of all the books I'd live to read.

4. Greg be the man!

5. I can only rec this thread once.

6. I'll do the high 5

and kick

7. I bought the new version of the book.

I'll happily, if there are no copyright problems, send the chapters, several pages at a time, to anyone who asks me.

8. Go, Greg, GO!!!

I'll get behind him in every way I can. Greg Palast is Number One Investigative Journalist we have left.

He is an inspiration to me.

One lovely night in Austin in 2003 he stayed right beneath me in a hotel and I got to meet him the next morning at breakfast.

I love Greg Palast.

He is a true American Patriot. He is our times Paul Revere.]

Peace

9. Randi said there was no cod in that codpiece...

just a shrimp. ;-)

11. Watch the videos I recorded of Greg Palast last fall

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=3155670&mesg_id=3155684

I've sent him a couple copies in DVD format...

[loudsue]

19. Thanks, Zulch! That was GREAT!! I've never seen a video of Palast giving a talk like that!

He was so dead-on, and a great speaker! Why can't he get an audience with our congresscritters?

:kick::kick::kick:

[mmonk]

12. Well I have the book but

copyright laws still bounce around in my head.

[Cassandra]

13. He said not to worry about it.

I promise. Paraphrase if you prefer and get the information out.

[The Count]

23. He's the author and he waived them. he won't sue you.

[EVDebs]

15. Palast's 'Khan Job' mentions NSA pre-9/11 "policy shifts"

http://www.gregpalast.com/khan-job-bush-spiked-probe-of-pakistan%E2%80%99s-dr-strangelove-bbc-reported-in-2001/

this article deserves reading and then a re-reading S-L-O-W-L-Y !

Now if we can only figure out what the hell Ptech was up to in the WH and DOJ etc

17. He needs to post the text somewhere with explicit permissions

That would make it easier and make me feel safer reproducing it.

[Cassandra]

20. I copy and paste faster than I type...

so I'd prefer that, too.

[ms liberty]

18. He said that on Alex Bennett yesterday morning also...

I was in the car while he was being interviewed on the Alex Bennett show on Sirius Left, and he said that exact thing - he said if you wanted to make copies of the whole book and give them to people that it was okay with him. He wants the information spread, and spread widely.

[PDJane]

24. I'll start typing.........I type quickly and accurately.

Someone tell me where I can transfer the stuff to the net......does someone have a blog site I can post to and link? Help me out here, folks..........

[Cassandra]

25. If you can copy and paste from your word processor...

just start a thread. I have Lotus WordPro, which I love, but it doesn't seem to want to cooperate in that way.

[meldroc]

26. Kicking again.

I've read a couple chapters of Armed Madhouse. Admittedly, it's a difficult book for me to read because it pisses me off like you wouldn't believe - I'll read about anything from vote suppression to No Child's Behind Left to the sections on class warfare, and I'll be up, stomping around, >< this close to throwing things and hitting things, yelling curses that would make a Marine blush.
