Palast Investigations Under Attack

Palast Investigations Under Attack
Iraq oil, elections story scoops generate awards and lawsuits

Our work is under attack and we need your help. Bluntly: without
your financial support, we're finished. GregPalast.com will be no
more and the on-going investigation of the election, the war and
globalization shuts down.

Our story on secret US plans for Iraq's oil for BBC and Harper's
Magazine has already generated two threats of lawsuits from the oil
industry. Our revelations on the manipulation of the US voting
operations has generated more threats. We still have bills left over
from our smashing legal victory over George Bush Sr.'s partners in
his blood-soiled gold mining business.

Please send us your tax-deductible donation to keep our current
investigations alive. If you can send at least $40 to our
educational foundation, I'll send you a signed copy of "Weapon of
Mass Instruction," my spoken word CD, in appreciation. Go to
http://www.gregpalast.com/store.htm

The team is embarking on a whole new round of investigations on the
solid evidence that - gasp! - George Bush did NOT win the last
election; on the secrets of Big Oil and Dick Cheney in their carve-up
of Iraq; and more: I am writing this from Ecuador, covering the
State of Siege in this one-time member of OPEC.

Our investigative scoops you hear on BBC, Democracy Now and Air
America may win worldwide journalism awards - but they earn, after
our costs, not one single penny.

Donate $200 I'll send you a Patron Saint of Journalism pack: a
signed book, film on DVD, book and the CD. Your donation is tax
deductible at http://www.gregpalast.com/store.htm

Greg Palast has never and will never pay a dime to "settle" law suits
against our journalism. Aggressive defense of the truth is costly.

But our biggest challenge is not in a courtroom, but on the airwaves
and in print: to get the word out. Your donation will pay the light
and phone bills and most important, our brilliant multi-lingual
research team - and our lawyers. Greg Palast takes no salary - zero.

But we cannot keep running in the red. So please send us your
tax-deductible $40 or $200 donation to our educational foundation.
Don't want the CD (produced by Jello Biafra)? We also have other
gifts at http://www.gregpalast.com/store.htm I'd be happy to sign.
Get our BBC film on DVD, Bush Family Fortunes, winner of the George
Orwell Courage-in-Journalism prize or a signed copy of the Election
Edition of the New York Times bestseller, Best Democracy Money Can
Buy.

Thank you for all of your support,

The GregPalast.com Team

8. Kicking Again

It's a busy news day but this thread needs to remain near the top. Will anyone join me in nominating it for the homepage?

9. I'm in! KICK! Greg Palast is one of the great heroes of the fight for...

... democracy in the United States of America, and his work comprises one of the best examples we have of the mission of true journalism: to rip open the secrets of the greedy, heartless, murderous bastards who are seeking control over every human and natural resource and every country on earth.

I tried to recommend for the home page, but it's too late. I urge DUers to respond to this plea for support--even if you can't make it $40. The more people who respond, the more Mr. Palast and those helping him will be heartened and encouraged to continue their vitally important work.
