The untold story of the sources of the loot controlled by Paul "The Vulture" Singer, Ken Langone and the Kochs—and why they need to buy the White House

by Greg Palast for TruthOut/Buzzflash

Greg Palast's investigative reports are broadcast by BBC Television's Newsnight. His new book, Vultures' Picnic: a Tale of Oil, Sex, Radiation and Investigative Reporting will be released by Penguin USA on November 14.

Paul Singer likes to breakfast on decayed carcasses. What he chews down is sickening, but just as nausea-inducing are his new table mates: Ken Langone and the Koch Brothers, Charles and David.

1. I had never heard of the vulture before,,, And no one can understand why all the aid to Aftica

can't eradicate the starving masses... Well it sounds like the vulture is swooping down and stealing. Imagine having billions but still not satisfied so you steal more even if it means babies die. What is this guy a relative of Ayan Rand.
