"Upsets all the right people."—Noam Chomsky

"Doggedly independent, undaunted by power. His stories bite, they're so relevant they threaten to alter history." —Chicago Tribune

Armed with over fifty classified documents, confidential memos, and secret plans liberated from the Pentagon, FBI, World Bank, and ExxonMobil, Palast cuts through the TV news baby-talk. It was Palast, for BBC TV, who first uncovered how Jeb Bush and Katherine Harris stole Election 2000. Harris calls him "twisted," and here's the new twist revealed in this CD: Palast tells you that Kerry won in 2004 and 2008 is already fixed. Palast's reports have been exiled from America to British Broadcasting Corporation's top current affairs show, Newsnight, and England's Guardian newspapers. This speech was recorded in 2006 at the Fletcher Lounge, University of Tampa.

Also included are 2 re-mixes of Palast's words (also featuring George W. Bush & Jello Biafra, among others) by Funkspace ("Mr. Beale, Meet Mr. Palast") and Zen Rock Garden ("Busted And Bloody"). Spoken word and pointed, upbeat, political music never sounded so good together!

Greg Palast, NY Times bestselling author and award-winning investigative journalist, has spent the last 30 years getting the goods on the corporate con men, political hucksters, and "free-trade" gurus who would auction off your children's future to the lowest bidder.
