PALAST INVESTIGATIONS UNDER ATTACK

Iraq oil, elections story scoops generate awards and lawsuits
Wednesday, May 11, 2005

Our work is under attack and we need your help. Greg Palast has never and will never pay a dime to "settle" law suits against our journalism.

However, our successful, aggressive defense of the truth is costly. 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.

Example: 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.
