Just watched orwells last night, brilliant I thought. Really inspired me to act, so this morning I signed up at link. I hope to be able to contribute something positive. Thank you link tv.
thanks Greg, for punching through the bullshit in your usual impassioned way.
the levels of frustration and demoralization that are felt when people are simply inundated day after day after day with the lies and the institutions border on the extreme.
your piece on "orwell" was an encompassing catch-all for delineating the basic ills that we are confronted with every minute of every day.
from control of the media, theft of the vote, katrina, and on and on, i gotta tell you that your work is indisputably ballsy and first rate.
can i suggest that you bring that expertise to that most jaded and criminal of all organizations: the fed? it truly is the basis for most, if not all of our current economic dilemmas.
Oh and p.s.Greg! I grew up on the BBC and World Service,thankyou for doing your work through the BBC,and LINKTVotherwise America would never get to hear/see your work.You would be censored! LOL!
When you were discussing 'The Election Files' with Wendy Hanamura,you were discussing what was happening in New Orleans to American Citizens,RIGHT NOW!
Living in refugee camps,tents,surrounded by bulldozers and gradually being ethnically 'cleansed' from New Orleans? And,to purge the polls of 'inconvenient'voters!
That made my heart and soul weep because you could have been talking about The Gaza Strip aswell.
Exactly the same racist crimes are happening there.So maybe New Orleans is America's present-day Gaza Strip(without the Israeli 1 ton missiles)
Israel is Gaza's Hurricane Katrina!
Oh sorry! That's not 'an act of God'.
It's an act of the(as you put it)'HezboShekel'.
Rock on Greg!
Greg Palast,I love you to bits! But after watching the aforementioned documentary YOU have reconfirmed for me that we have MORE in Americas MEDIOCRACY to be TERRIFIED of than 100 Osama Bin Ladens! This scary but HONEST documentary illustrates what I have believed for so long,that the Free Press and REAL JOURNALISM is a dying endangered species being replaced by corporate "Newspeak" and News presenters/celebrities/PARTISAN ADVOCATES who work so hard to AVOID giving us the news!
Maybe that's why I stopped watching channels such as NBC,CBS,ABC,CNN,FOX etc AGES AGO! Because I realised that they no longer reported on world news,up front,AS IT WAS.They read pre-censored,partisan scripts and CENSORED/BLACKED OUT everything else.
Watching these channels reminded me(and I am old enough to remember well)more of the USSR and communist China etc.
The Explanation of how the 2008 election could be hijacked from the voters like in 2000-2004 elections is STOMACH CHURNING and reminiscent of the cold war,(and present day)'USSR'.When did America become so UNAMERICAN?
Just to think,that all those THOUSANDS of American black,hispanic etc soldiers presently getting blown to bits in Iraq and Afghanistan are vulnerable to getting THEIR INDIVIDUAL VOTES selectively "CAGED" RAPED,targeted,purged,discounted and written off as invalid trash,BECAUSE THEY ARE ABSENT from their present registered address??
'ABSENT' AS IN FIGHING FOR THEIR COUNTRY OVERSEAS??????
That is more scary than any Al Qaida murderers.
And that 80%--REPEAT 80 PER CENT!!!! of ALL votes counted on touch screen machines were counted on machines by only TWO COMPANIES,DIEBOLD AND ?(I forget the second),which are OWNED BY TWO BROTHERS ON CONTRACT TO PEOPLE LIKE JEB BUSH!!!!!
Oh my God,no wonder Orwell is rolling "in his grave"?
"Big Brother" is MORE alive in America than it EVER was in the KGB USSR!
Greg Palast, you terrify me,and I REALLY APPRECIATE IT, and only LinkTV would inform the viewers so transparently.
I will order TWO copies of this documentary.One for my family and friends.And one for the public library!
I could cry when I think of all our fellow citizens who are fighting this illegal occupation overseas,while THEIR precious vote and their RIGHT to vote,is being corruptly MANHANDLED/RAPED BY Election-Riggers INCLUDING THE SUPREME COURT!!!!
No-one is going to STEAL MY VOTE.I will vote BEFORE election day and watch like a hawk every mark I make on the paper ballot and check,AND DOUBLE CHECK, that it registers CORRECTLY!
Thankyou LinkTV,this documentary is SUPERB,and every American who cares about REAL Democracy should see it,TWICE!
