How did the mullahs win? Even that flower child Jimmy Carter said the US must use military force to keep open this outlet for the world’s flow of oil. Carter said… READ MORE
In one of my most elaborate undercover ops for BBC Newsnight, I got my hands on the secret plans for the invasion. Nope, not Trump’s attack on Iran. It was 2004 and the plan was drafted BEFORE Bush invaded Iraq. I’m only bringing up 20-year-old history to tell you that, while Bush’s hidden plan for the oil fields of Iraq evidenced greedy scheming to grab Iraq’s oil, at least we could say: EVEN GEORGE BUSH HAD A PLAN. … READ MORE

For Greg Palast, it began with a simple instinct: to look closer. He explains how investigative journalism is not about speculation, but rather about observation, persistence, and evidence. It is about recognizing patterns others overlook and asking questions others stop asking. But… READ MORE
For 50 years, we fought side-by-side and sometimes fought face-to-face. He’s the only man, other than my dad, I’ve ever kissed. A year ago, when I kissed him goodbye, he was holding… READ MORE

For God’s sake, let’s get to the REAL agenda behind Wednesday’s FBI raid on the Fulton County elections office. IT’S NOT ABOUT THE 2020 ELECTION. The warrant says the FBI wants the envelopes from the 2020 election to hunt for crimes. But that’s just the legal excuse for … READ MORE
Ethan Lieberman recently joined the Palast team following completion of his degree in journalism (summa cum laude!). At 22, he is in the heart of Gen Z. So, I asked him, What the hell is going on with you kids today? (I know that makes me sound … READ MORE
Leading up to the 2024 election, 4.7 million Americans were wiped off the voter rolls, a daylight robbery of democracy, an outcome not based on the will of the voters but on the cruel, racially poisoned trickery we politely call “vote suppression.” To prevent another electoral crime wave sabotaging the 2026 midterms, we’re launching the counterattack.

African-American radio host Cleopatra Draper is worried. The victory of Democratic Socialist Dr. Abdul El-Sayed in the Michigan Democratic primary for US Senate has revealed a growing political schism between Black and Arabic voters. According to the Cook Report, Stevens … READ MORE
I watched the late night yucksters like Jon Stewart and Seth Meyers get a bunch of cheap guffaws out of Trump’s supposedly inept attempt at comedy at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, but his performance was at a level that took him a step above comic geniuses. The audience of not-too-clever journalists didn’t get it, while … READ MORE

I laughed when Trump announced that the Chinese “hacked” a hundred million US voter files — voter’s address, party preference etc. If China spent money to hack this info, they overspent because… READ MORE
In his new film, The Welcome Table, Josh Fox has traded the point-and-shoot of his seminal Gasland for lush cinematography on five continents. But it ain’t some Discovery Channel travelogue. Fox has brilliantly melded the burning issues of immigration and climate change. Even if you just think global warming is a bunch of hot air (pun intended), this documentary will just knock you out. … READ MORE
Heather Cox Richardson had it right about Graham Platner. What the hell were Democrats doing running this guy for the United States Senate?
We have a President with zero qualifications for the job, who had zero experience. So Democrats decided, Why not? Why can’t we put in a guy with zero experience, zero qualifications, since the… READ MORE
When it comes to America’s semiquincentennial birthday, I feel like someone whose husband has gotten fat and surly and announced he’s going vegan. You just have to keep reminding yourself of those Good Old Days when he was a promising … READ MORE
