“The Best Democracy Money Can Buy”
I recently came across a book titled: “The Best Democracy Money Can Buy” An Investigative Reporter Exposes the Truth about Globalization, Corporate Cons and High Finance Fraudsters by Greg Palast, that stopped me in my tracks. I had to pick my jaw off the ground because I remember seeing news report about in the News Papers and on TV about these stories of In the days following the November 2000 election presidential election. There were so many stories of African-Americans erased from voter rolls, you might think they were targeted by some kind of racial computer program.
In Florida, five months before the November 2000 election, Governor Jeb Bush of Florida moved to purge 57,700 people from the voter rolls, to help his Brother George win the presidency, blowing smoke as supposedly criminals, who are not allowed to vote. Most were innocent of crimes, but the majority were guilty of being Black.
Here is a part of that book that got me to think that the republicans are bring that part ack into play from the November 2000 election when Trump ordered states for voter information.
I wrote that exposé for page 1 of the nation’s top newspaper. But it was the wrong nation, Britain. It ran in the Guardian and its Sunday sister paper, the Observer. You could see it on television too, on BBC TV’s Newsnight, which airs my investigative reports. (Want to know what was in that diseased sausage called a presidential election? Read Chapter 1, “Jim Crow in Cyberspace”, which contains reports never printed in the US and new investigative material not yet reported on either continent.)
There’s a lot more not printed in the US, barely seen in Britain. There’s the story about Monsanto’s genetically modified, milk-making hormone. It turns out, the company’s test cows dripped pus into the milk buckets. Yummy. Monsanto fixed that problem the easy way—by burying test data. US officials helped out, slipping the company confidential regulatory documents. (See, “The Ignoble Prize in Chemistry”, in Chapter 5.)
And you didn’t read about accusations from inside the FBI and CIA that, prior to September 11, 2001, Bush’s national security chiefs killed investigation into Saudi Arabian billionaires’ funding of terror networks. You didn’t read about how the “Reverend” Dr Pat Robertson secretly, illicitly used his Christian Crusade jihad assets to boost his berserker get-rich-quick business schemes.
Greg Palast on Why Clinton Didn’t Push for Michigan Recount - Part 2 of 2
Greg Palast tells Paul Jay that there are 75,000 uncounted Clinton votes, but she won't push for a recount because the elite will defend the fake monstrosity called the US electoral system even when their personal interests are at stake
I am still doing my research on THE BEST DEMOCRACY MONEY CAN BUY but what I see so far, I am sure that it will keep your interest if you give a 💩 about information What You Didn’t Read in the New York Times. I will seek more about this book and this warfare being played on Americans by the ruling class Republicans Party.

The GOP's Stealth War Against Voters
Will an anti-voter-fraud program designed by one of Trump's advisers deny tens of thousands their right to vote in November? By Greg Palast
When Donald Trump claimed, "the election's going to be rigged," he wasn't entirely wrong. But the threat was not, as Trump warned, from Americans committing the crime of "voting many, many times." What's far more likely to undermine democracy in November is the culmination of a decade-long Republican effort to disenfranchise voters under the guise of battling voter fraud. The latest tool: Election officials in more than two dozen states have compiled lists of citizens whom they allege could be registered in more than one state – thus potentially able to cast multiple ballots – and eligible to be purged from the voter rolls.
The data is processed through a system called the Interstate Voter Registration Crosscheck Program, which is being promoted by a powerful Republican operative, and its lists of potential duplicate voters are kept confidential. But Rolling Stone obtained a portion of the list and the names of 1 million targeted voters. According to our analysis, the Crosscheck list disproportionately threatens solid Democratic constituencies: young, black, Hispanic and Asian-American voters – with some of the biggest possible purges underway in Ohio and North Carolina, two crucial swing states with tight Senate races.
