GREG PALAST Interview: Vote Caging, Media Blackout, Internet Control, Katrina, More!
Edited on Sun May-27-07 10:21 AM by snot
As most of you know, Palast is a respected BBC reporter, and for some time he's had possession of 500 of the "missing" e-mails subpoenaed in the Justice attorney-firing investigation; but the media here isn't interested in his stories.

Palast confirms, the point of the attorney firings wasn't just to eliminate people who weren't carrying out the Rovian agenda, but to replace them with people who WILL carry out that agenda, regardless of legality, esp. in 2008 . . . . lots of topics covered in this 20-min. interview:

1. I'm severely underimpressed with Palast
Here's a great dKos diary that does a good job explaining some of my issues with him:

2. The Kos author went to a lot of trouble to try to cast doubt

on the evidence Palast has provided, without proving any material error. Monica Goodling has now confirmed that Tim Griffin was involved in caging lists. Tim Griffin now holds the job of one of the fired attorneys. Even if Palast has obtained only one caging list, and even if the Kos author thinks it's smaller than Palast implied, there is still evidence of felony vote fraud at a high level, deemed sufficient to be reported just about everywhere except the U.S. corporate media.

4. What Palast claims and what he provides as evidence are different
He claims to have over 70,000 names and yet only produces around 1800. The emails that are public, in fact, do not show what he claims. IF he has more evidence then he should show it. At this point, it just looks like he's saying stuff we want to hear so he can sell books.

3. There are two emails
on the internet with caging as the subject and they have xcel spreadsheets with a couple of thousand names.

5. 1834 names to be exact
FAR fewer than the 70,000 he claimed to have. Where are all the others?

7. and you are making sure that you keep repeating your "issues"
in each and every single thread which mentions Palast.

It is as if you are on a mission. You must make sure no one believes Palast. They must believe YOU and only YOU.

6. It just shows to go ya that..
.. divide and conquer works.

And who knows.. the guy attacking Palast's methods
might have been a plant.

And if he was genuine, then why did he write his
objections in that way.

After all, Palast is our ally.. unless he's a plant. lol
