The Best Democracy Money Can Buy
Greg Palast - 18.02.2003 23:24
Here it is: the new, special US edition of The Best Democracy Money Can Buy – out in paperback from Plume Penguin
– tougher, deeper, bigger – OVER 100 pages of new investigative material, including:
-Who is ringing the cash register on the Orwellian USA Patriot Act.
-Why the Bush administration is silent about Saudi support for terrorism – expanded new material from the Project Censored award-winning report.
-The real story of Iraq’s nuclear program: follow the money – YOUR money.
-What’s going on in Venezuela, including my interview with President Hugo Chavez.
-Arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi, George Bush Sr. and their strange little gold mining operation.
-New, inside documents from the files of the World Bank; the NEXT Enron (in the new chapter “Power Pirates”) and an all new conclusion,
“Kissing the Whip.”
Katherine Harris calls me, “twisted.” Well, this version is twisteder,
re-written top to bottom. In last year’s edition, I told you how Kate and company fixed the election in Florida: in my new Chapter 1, you’ll find out how they’re busy mucking with the balloting for 2004.
As we’ve seen with my buddy Michael Moore, the more progressive muckraking journalism we can get on the national radar, the more the mainstream media will have to listen. With your support we can put this puppy at
the top of the charts. Michael’s book grabbed the nation’s attention
because it hit #1 on Amazon.com the day of its release. And we can do the same, IF YOU ORDER THIS WEEK ON-LINE for shipment on February 25 when it gets to the bookstores.
Pre-order at Amazon or local booksmiths (through Booksense.com) by clicking the links on the www.gregpalast.com homepage – for which I receive a little baksheesh to fund our operations. Remember – ALL the filthy lucre earned from this book goes to support investigative reporting.
Forward this mail to your friends, post it on your sites. Give the old hardbound to grandma, buy the new book for yourself and an extra for Dick Cheney. He’ll thank you – as I do for all your encouragement.
“COURAGEOUS REPORTING – READ THIS BOOK!” - MICHAEL MOORE
“The greatest investigative reporter of our time” - Tribune (UK)
“The type of investigative reporter you don’t see anymore—a cross between Sam Spade and Sherlock Holmes.” - Jim Hightower
“Your bullshit axe to grind with Bush is just another example of how far a punk-ass loser will go to slander our President.” - from ‘A Real American.’
