The "Mysterious Yellow Book" That Can Get You Tasered


It’s called Armed Madhouse. Here’s the blog of the author, Greg Palast.

Who is Palast? According to some, he is the best investigative reporter in America — although he’s mostly worked for British outlets such as the BBC and Guardian newspapers. As Asia Times puts it: “The top investigative journalist in the United States is persona non grata in his own country’s media.”

In his latest book and elsewhere, Palest has produced evidence that:

  • Jeb Bush rigged Florida’s vote in the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections;
  • John Kerry was cheated out of Ohio and New Mexico as well;
  • the invasion of Iraq was directly tied to U.S. petroleum policy.

Palast is also great with the one-liner — e.g., “Reverend Pat Robertson has a tough time with the separation of church and hate.”

It will only enhance Palast’s rep as a subversive force that people who quote him at John Kerry speeches tend to get electrocuted.
