‘Razor sharp research … shows why every US citizen should be quaking in their boots’ Metro, Books of the Year ‘Bill Hicks with a press pass’ The ListAward-winning guerrilla journalist Greg Palast has gone where most have been too scared to unearth the ugly truth about the haves and have-mores who rule our world … America. Here he reports from behind enemy lines to reveal just how bad it’s got in a dangerous regime: how elections are bought and free speech comes at a price. How citizens are ruled by fear. And how our brave new globalized world means the poor get hammered, while corporations silently buy up the planet. It’s not pretty – but it’s all true … ‘Palast is one of the few journalists writing who has both the anger and the wit to offer himself up as a persuasive – and more importantly, readable – voice of the left’ Observer‘A rollercoaster ride from Baghdad to New Orleans and Osama bin Laden’s cave to the back rooms of the Pentagon’ Big Issue ‘Very funny … For anyone who thinks that no-one from the US knows what’s going on, Palast is the perfect riposte’ Guardian

The bestselling author of The Best Democracy Money Can Buy offers his most provocative and funniest book yet! Greg Palast has spent the last thirty years getting the goods on corporate con men and political hucksters. Now he and his special guests cut through the TV news babytalk in Armed Madhouse. Armed with more than fifty classified documents and confidential memos, Palast brings you the stories not allowed in The New York Times, including: Before invading, George Bush didn''t have a secret plan to seize Iraq''s oil -- he had two. Palast shows you both. In "Who''s Afraid of Osama Wolf?," Palast reveals the horror and humor of the War on Terror. In "The Network," Palast gives you the skinny on the new global order -- and pushes Thomas Friedman over the edge of his Flat World. It was Palast, for BBC TV, who first uncovered how Jeb Bush and Katherine Harris stole Election 2000. Now he tells you that Kerry won in 2004 -- and that 2008 is already fixed. Who drowned New Orleans? Palast names names -- and adds some suggestions for fighting the new Class War. Greg Palast speaks truth to power the only way you can -- by letting the facts speak for themselves. Get the straight story on what today''s self-appointed Masters of the Universe have in store for you.

Democracy and Regulation

Essential services are being privatised the world over. Whether it's water, gas, electricity or the phone network, everywhere from Sao Paulo in Brazil to Leeds in the UK is following the US economic model and handing public services over to private companies whose principal interest is raising prices. Yet it's one of the world's best kept secrets that Americans pay astonishingly little for high quality public services. This book, based on work for the United Nations International Labour Organisation is the first step-by-step guide to the way that public services are regulated in the United States. It explains how decisions are made by public debate in a public forum. Profits and investments of private companies are capped, and companies are forced to reduce prices for the poor, fund environmental investments and open themselves to financial inspection. In a world where privatisation has so often led to economic disaster, this book is essential reading.

The bestselling author of The Best Democracy Money Can Buy offers a globetrotting, Sam Spade-style investigation that blows the lid off the oil industry, the banking industry, and the governmental agencies that aren't regulating either.This is the story of the corporate vultures that feed on the weak and ruin our planet in the process-a story that spans the globe and decades.For Vultures' Picnic, investigative journalist Greg Palast has spent his career uncovering the connection between the world of energy (read: oil) and finance. He's built a team that reads like a casting call for a Hollywood thriller-a Swiss multilingual investigator, a punk journalist, and a gonzo cameraman-to reveal how environmental disasters like the Gulf oil spill, the Exxon Valdez, and lesser-known tragedies such as Tatitlek and Torrey Canyon are caused by corporate corruption, failed legislation, and, most interestingly, veiled connections between the financial industry and energy titans. Palast shows how the International Monetary Fund, World Bank, World Trade Organization, and Central Banks act as puppets for Big Oil.With Palast at the center of an investigation that takes us from the Arctic to Africa to the Amazon, Vultures' Picnic shows how the big powers in the money and oil game slip the bonds of regulation over and over again, and simply destroy the rules that they themselves can't write-and take advantage of nations and everyday people in the process.

Wie kann es sein, dass im Mutterland der Demokratie immer und immer wieder kranke und gefährliche Schwachköpfe wie George W. Bush (oder Donald Trump?) Präsident werden?Ganz einfach. Sie werden gar nicht wirklich gewählt. Die Wahlen werden durch einen riesigen, von Milliardären finanzierten, Farbige, Studenten, Gefängnisinsassen und Bürger spanischer Herkunft ausschließenden Wahl-Manipulationsapparat gestohlen. Bei den letzten Wahlen jeweils etwa 6 Millionen Stimmen. 2016 wahrscheinlich noch mehr. Macht das einen Unterschied? Und ob es das tut. Im Jahre 2000 wurde George W. Bush mit einem Vorsprung von sage und schreibe 527 Stimmen "gewählt". Wirklich 6 Millionen Stimmen? Ja. Ob Sie es glauben oder nicht, aber der amerikanische Staat unterhält eine Behörde, die "US Election Assistance Commission", die den offiziellen Stand der nichtgezählten Stimmen ermittelt. Aber keiner redet drüber.Wie der Wahlbetrug funktioniert und welche Tricks dabei angewendet werden, wer dahinter steht und was ihre Ziele sind - das alles deckt Greg Palast in diesem Buch auf, das zeigt, dass die Demokratie der USA nur noch ein schlechter Witz ist.Greg Palasts unerschrockene Recherchen, die auch Munition für Michael Moores Stupid White Men lieferten, bringen ans Licht, welche Tricks bei der Wahlmanipulation angewendet werden. Er zeigt auf, welche Politiker (es sind sowohl Republikaner als auch Demokraten) und Milliardäre (wenig überraschend: die Ölindustrie spielt eine Rolle) hinter dem Wahlbetrug stehen, was ihre Ziele sind, wie sie organisiert sind – und, dass es bei der anstehenden Wahl 2016 noch viel schlimmer werden wird.Gern geschehen, Mr. President! ist eine Bombe von einem Buch, geschrieben von einem der letzten echten investigativen Reporter unserer Zeit.
