Mary Trump’s book tells you how little Donald was a whiny grifter even as a toddler. That’s history. This is now... gregpalast.com/mary-trump-won…
My new book, How Trump Stole 2020, tells you how Trump’s minions have already erased 16.7 million from the voter rolls (guess their color)—but most important, I show you how to reverse the Jim Crow op— and make sure your vote counts. amazon.com/Trump-Stole-20…
If you get the book today before 9pm ET, we have a crack at the NYT list: amazon.com/Trump-Stole-20…
As thanks I will send you, absolutely no charge, the audiobook of How Trump Stole 2020. I read it to you myself, but with a special guest appearance by Stacey Abrams. Just email proof of purchase to: audiobook@gregpalast.com Image
Hey, some outlets are selling it at just $10: amazon.com/Trump-Stole-20…

Isn't saving America from a bloviating bigot vote violator worth it?

Please tell all your friends or better still, get 2 books and give the 2nd to a friend.

#Ukraine: It’s not aid, it’s our obligation under the 1994 Budapest Memorandum #UkraineNeedsAirDefense | #ArmUkraineNow
Under the 1994 Budapest Memorandum, Ukraine gave up their nuclear weapons in exchange  for security guarantees from the United States, the United Kingdom, and Russia. So, we had an obligation to defend Ukraine if they were ever invaded. hartmannreport.com/p/the-failure-…
And when we say aid to Ukraine, understand almost all the money that we “give" to Ukraine is used to buy American weapons, and supplies, and goods. It doesn't go anywhere. It's just money for them to purchase stuff mostly from us. apnews.com/article/biden-…

In 1996, I filmed an investigation that never saw the light of day. It was about the richest guys you’d never heard of, Charles and David Koch — and their theft of a mind-blowing $2 billion in oil from Osage tribal land. Now, I’m blowing open the files in a new film... 🧵
It’s said that behind every great fortune is a great crime. This is the crime, the genesis of the Kochs’ $120 billion empire — and the foundation of the fearsome Koch Network, that political Death Star, created solely to keep Charles Koch out of prison. gregpalast.com/what-charles-k…
Killers of the Flower Moon tells the story of the murder of scores of Osage for their oil. It ends in the 1920s, but as Chief Standing Bear says, “It’s still going on”. He wants us to know the rest of the story, especially the Osage's battle with Koch Oil gregpalast.com/americas-osage…

This week, Scorsese releases his film Killers of the Flower Moon: the true story of the mass murder of the Osage and the theft of their oil wealth. But the story doesn’t end when the credits roll. For 27 years, I've been investigating what happened next... 🧵 Image
Over the past century, the #Osage Nation has continued to suffer massive oil thievery, poisoning, and impoverishment on their Oklahoma reservation.

“It’s not over,” Osage principal chief, Geoffrey Standing Bear, tells me. “It’s still happening.” gregpalast.com/americas-osage…
At the heart of it is legal control of Osage native land by the US Bureau of Indian Affairs, an entity the Osage call the Ma-he-tah, or the Long Knife. Standing Bear, a lawyer himself, likens the arrangement to a military occupation.

In the 1920s, after discovery of the massive oil field on the #Osage Reservation, the US government took away the Osage’s right to their wealth, instead appointing a white Guardian for each Osage to “protect” their money. gregpalast.com/until-they-kil…
Here’s how their guardians protected them: Anna Brown was shot in the head, her mother Lizzie poisoned, and her sister Rita was burnt to death when her home was dynamited.

Sixty—and likely many more—Osage were assassinated.

Their murderers inherited their oil rights.
That story, of the murder-for-oil Reign of Terror, is movingly portrayed in the film, #KillersOfTheFlowerMoon, starring @LeoDiCaprio, to be released next month.

On June 25th, 2013 the US Supreme Court gutted the #VotingRightsAct, when they ruled 5 to 4 that Section 4 was unconstitutional. The case, Shelby v. Holder, was financed in part by multi-billionaire hedge fund manager Paul “The Vulture” Singer.

Yesterday @ProPublica revealed that #PaulSinger flew #JusticeAlito on a private jet to Alaska for a luxury (undisclosed) fishing vacation. Singer subsequently had multiple cases before SCOTUS — including his vulture attack on Argentina, which forced the nation into default.
I’ve been hunting #PaulSinger The Vulture for BBC TV since 2007, when he pocketed the money meant to aid those affected by the cholera epidemic in the Republic of Congo.
My 2012 cover story for @TheNation, “Mitt Romney’s Bailout Bonanza”, revealed how #PaulSinger secretly set up Romney to make $100 million off Obama’s auto bailout. https://t.co/yvbHSVfclNthenation.com/article/archiv…
