	Greg Palast - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Greg Palast is a New York Times-bestselling author and a journalist for the British Broadcasting Corporation as well as the British newspaper The Observer.
		Palast is originally from Los Angeles, the "scum-end of LA, between the power plant and the garbage dump", and was educated at the University of Chicago, where he claims to have infiltrated the "Chicago Boys".
		Palast has also claimed that Ohio and New Mexico were really won by John Kerry in 2004, citing the results of exit polls, the second time in two Presidential elections he has leveled accusations of a stolen election.

	Asia Times -
		Palast is content to continue his investigative reports into what he perceives as an American oligarchy - a nexus between politicians and corporations in which the line between the two is increasingly blurred - an endeavor which he pursues across the Atlantic in the British media.
		Palast is obviously dismayed by American media in the post-September 11 age, characterizing it as "gone to hell in a handbag".
		Palast has already written about the negative and one-sided Western media coverage of President Hugo Chavez, and has interviewed the politician regarding the coup attempt against him, which Palast believes was connected to Chavez's attempts to strengthen the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), of which Venezuela is a member.

		So Greg Palast came to my attention and became a beacon, a light out of this horrible storm known as the Bush coup now moving Eastward across the planet and visiting its plague on the Middle East, bullying, bribing and threatening everything in its path.
		As usual, Greg’s answers cut to the quick with wit, humor and a lacerating accuracy that have had some of the ‘subjects’ of his investigations writhing in pain and back-lashing in scorn (but without rebuttal).
		Just to warn you, Katherine Harris says that Greg Palast is 'twisted an maniacal,' and that's a quote --but she didn't say I was wrong.
