Greg Palast

Palast was born in Los Angeles, growing up in the San Fernando Valley community of Sun Valley. Geri Palast is his sister.

Palast said his desire to write about class warfare is rooted in his upbringing in what he describes as the "ass-end of Los Angeles," a neighborhood wedged between a power plant and a dump. He said that kids in that neighborhood had two choices: Vietnam or the auto plant. "We were the losers," he said. He was saved from the war by a favorable draft number. "A lot of people didn't make it out. Because I made it out, and my sister (Geri, a former Clinton administration assistant secretary of labor) made it out, I feel I have this obligation to tell these stories on behalf of all of those people who didn't make it out."[http://www.gregpalast.com/a-determined-voice-lost-in-the-wilderness-of-us-mass-media San Francisco Chronicle, December 7, 2007]

He attended John H. Francis Polytechnic High School, and transferred to San Fernando Valley State College (now California State University, Northridge) in 1969 before completing his senior year of high school. Palast said about high school: "Basically they were melting my brain, and I had to save myself. Before I finished high school, I talked my way into college. Before I finished college, I talked my way into graduate school." Palast then attended the University of California, Los Angeles, University of California, Berkeley, and University of Chicago, from which he graduated in 1974 with a Bachelor of Arts in economics and in 1976 with a Master's of Business Administration. Palast majored in economics at Chicago from the advice of a Weather Underground member he met at Berkeley who suggested Palast "familiarize himself with right-wing politics and learn about the 'ruling elite' from 'the inside.'"

Since 2000, Greg Palast has made more than a dozen films for the BBC program Newsnight with the Investigations Producer Meirion Jones, which have been broadcast in the UK and worldwide. In addition to the films on US elections they have investigated oil companies, the Iraq War, the attempted coup against Hugo Chávez, and the vulture funds which target the poorest countries.

Palast spoke at a Think Twice conference held at Cambridge University{{cite web|url=http://www.think-twice.org.uk/2002/speakers.html|title=Think Twice 2002: list of speakers|access-date=August 24, 2007|publisher=Think Twice Conference at Cambridge University|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070913085844/http://www.think-twice.org.uk/2002/speakers.html|archive-date=September 13, 2007}} and lectured at the University of São Paulo.{{cite web|url=http://sistemas.usp.br/atena/atnCurriculoLattesMostrar?codpes=76141|title=Currículo do Sistema de Currículos Lattes (Ildo Luis Sauer)|access-date=August 24, 2007|publisher=University of São Paulo |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20070717025451/http://sistemas.usp.br/atena/atnCurriculoLattesMostrar?codpes=76141 |archive-date = July 17, 2007}}

Palast's investigation into the Bush family fortunes for his column in The Observer led him to uncover a connection to a company called ChoicePoint. In an October 2008 interview Palast said that before the 2000 election, ChoicePoint "was purging the voter rolls of Florida under a contract with a lady named Katherine Harris, the Secretary of State. They won a contract, a bid contract with the state, with the highest bid."{{cite web |url = http://suicidegirls.com/interviews/Greg+Palast%3A+Steal+Back+Your+Vote |title = Greg Palast: Steal Back Your Vote|publisher = suicidegirls.com |date = October 27, 2008|access-date = October 27, 2008}} After subsequently noticing a large proportion of African-American voters were claiming their names had disappeared from voter rolls in Florida in the 2000 election, Palast launched a full-scale investigation into election fraud, the results of which were broadcast in the UK by the BBC on their Newsnight{{cite news |url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/newsnight/3956129.stm

Palast claimed to have obtained computer discs from Katherine Harris' office, which contained caging lists of "voters matched by race and tagged as felons." Palast appeared in the 2003 documentary film, Florida Fights Back! Resisting the Stolen Election, along with Vincent Bugliosi, former Los Angeles Deputy District Attorney and author of The Betrayal of America. Palast also appeared in the 2004 documentary Orwell Rolls in His Grave, which focuses on the hidden mechanics of the media.{{citation needed|date=October 2021}}

In May 2007, Palast said he'd received 500 emails that former White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove exchanged through an account supplied by the Republican National Committee. Palast says the emails show a plan to target likely Democratic voters with extra scrutiny over their home addresses, and he also believes Rove's plan was a factor in the firing of U.S. Attorneys.{{cite web |url=http://www.10zenmonkeys.com/2007/05/24/justice-department-scandal-greg-palast |title=The Future of America Has Been Stolen |last=Diehl |first=Jeff |publisher=10zenmonkeys.com |date=May 24, 2007}}

After Palast was invited by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to appear on his Air America talk show to discuss, among other things, election fraud, the pair teamed up to publish a report in October 2008 in Rolling Stone, concluding that the 2008 election had already been stolen. "If Democrats are to win the 2008 election, they must not simply beat John McCain at the polls -- they must beat him by a margin that exceeds the level of GOP vote tampering", Palast and Kennedy summarized.{{cite web

Palast has conducted a multi-year investigation into Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach's Interstate Voter Registration Crosscheck Program (commonly referred to as "Crosscheck"). The program utilizes states' voter registration lists to match possible "double voters," using their first and last names and the last four digits of their Social Security number. In 2014, Palast [http://projects.aljazeera.com/2014/double-voters investigated Crosscheck] for Al Jazeera America, finding that the program was inherently biased toward removing minority voters from states' voter rolls. In 2016, he followed up with a documentary film, The Best Democracy Money Can Buy, along with an article.

In 1988, Palast directed a U.S. civil racketeering investigation into the Shoreham Nuclear Power Station project, under construction by Stone & Webster and Long Island Lighting Company. A jury awarded the plaintiffs US$4.8 billion; however, New York's federal judge Jack B. Weinstein, reversed the verdict, and the case was later settled for $400 million.[https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/bbm%3A978-94-011-3332-6%2F1.pdf THE RISE AND FALL OF LILCO'S NUCLEAR POWER PROGRAM], THE LONG ISLAND HISTORICAL JOURNAL, Karl Grossman, Fall 1992. Retrieved July 20, 2020. The racketeering charges stemmed from an accusation that LILCO filed false documents in order to secure rate increases. LILCO sought a dismissal of these charges on the grounds that Suffolk County lacked authority under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act and that the allegations of a history of racketeering did not qualify as a continuing criminal enterprise.{{cite news |url=https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=940DE1DD113AF93AA25756C0A96E948260 |title= Lilco Loses Bid to Dismiss Suit Charging Racketeering |website=The New York Times |date=May 19, 1988}}

Palast has also taken issue with the official story behind the grounding of the Exxon Valdez, claiming the sobriety of the Valdez's captain was not an issue in the accident. According to Palast, the main cause of the Exxon Valdez oil spill in 1989 was not human error, but an Exxon decision not to use the ship's radar in order to save money. The Raytheon Raycas radar system would not have detected Bligh Reef itself - as radar, unlike sonar, is incapable of detecting submerged objects. The radar system would have detected the radar reflector, placed on the next rock inland from Bligh Reef for the purpose of keeping vessels on course via radar. Palast points out that the original owners of the land, the local Alaska Natives tribe, took only one dollar in payment for the land with a promise not to pollute it and spoil their fishing and seal hunting grounds.{{cite news | url=http://www.gregpalast.com/dont-buy-exxons-fable-of-the-drunken-captain/ | title=Don't Buy Exxon's Fable Of The Drunken Captain | work=The Guardian | date=March 29, 1999 | access-date=October 4, 2016 | author=Palast, Gregory}}

On October 27, 2010, Palast wrote, "The Petroleum Broadcast System Owes Us an Apology. ... BP has neglected warnings about oil safety for years! ... But so has PBS. The Petroleum Broadcast System has turned a blind eye to BP perfidy for decades. If the broadcast had come six months before the Gulf blow-out, after [major accidents in 2005 and 2006 or after years of government fines], I would say, “Damn, that Frontline sure is courageous.” But six months after the blow-out, PBS has shown us it only has the courage to shoot the wounded. ... The entire hour told us again and again and again, the problem was one company, BP, and its 'management culture.' ... Unlike Shell Oil’s culture which has turned Nigeria into a toxic cesspool; unlike ExxonMobil’s culture which remains in denial about the horror it heaped on Alaska. And unlike Chevron’s culture, which I witnessed in the Amazon. Chevron culture left Ecuadoran farmers with pustules all over their bodies and a graveyard of children dead of leukemia.{{cite web |last1=Palast |first1=Greg |title=The Petroleum Broadcast System Owes Us an Apology |url=https://www.gregpalast.com/the-petroleum-broadcast-systemowes-us-an-apology/ |website=Gregpalast.com |accessdate=23 February 2022 |date=27 October 2010}}

In 1998, working as an undercover reporter for The Observer, Palast, posing as a US businessman with ties to Enron, caught on tape two Labour party insiders, Derek Draper and Jonathan Mendelsohn, boasting about how they could sell access to government ministers, obtain advance copies of sensitive reports, and create tax breaks for their clients.{{cite web|url=http://www.gregpalast.com/tony-blair-and-the-sale-of-britain/|title=Britain for Sale|date=May 1, 2005|author=Greg Palast|access-date=November 29, 2007}}

Starting in 2007 Palast published a series of investigations on what aid groups and investors call "vulture funds". A vulture fund is a private equity or hedge fund where companies or people buy the debt of a poor country and litigate to recover the funds, often at the expense of aid and debt relief. Prime Minister Gordon Brown commented on the practices saying "We particularly condemn the perversity where Vulture Funds purchase debt at a reduced price and make a profit from suing the debtor country to recover the full amount owed - a morally outrageous outcome".{{cite web|url=http://www.gregpalast.com/vulture-fund-threat-to-third-world/ |title=Vulture Fund Threat to Third World |publisher=BBC Newsnight via GregPalast.com |date=February 14, 2007 |access-date=December 16, 2011}}

In 2014 Palast detailed the workings of vulture funds during the crisis of the American automotive industry:

{{blockquote|Singer, through a brilliantly complex financial manoeuvre, took control of Delphi Automotive, the sole supplier of most of the auto parts needed by General Motors and Chrysler. Both auto firms were already in bankruptcy. Singer and co-investors demanded the US Treasury pay them billions, including $350m (£200m) in cash immediately, or – as the Singer consortium threatened – "we'll shut you down" by ending GM's supply of parts. GM and Chrysler, with only a few days' worth of parts in stock, would have shut down and permanently forced into liquidation. Obama's negotiator, Treasury deputy Steven Rattner, called the vulture funds' demand "extortion" ... Ultimately, the US Treasury quietly paid the Singer consortium a cool $12.9bn in cash and subsidies from the US Treasury's auto bailout fund. Singer responded to Obama's largesse by quickly shutting down 25 of Delphi's 29 US auto parts plants, shifting 25,000 jobs to Asia. Singer's Elliott Management pocketed $1.29bn of which Singer personally garnered the lion's share.|cite=Palast 2014{{cite web|title=Obama Can End Argentina's Debt Crisis with a Pen|date=August 7, 2014|author=Greg Palast |website=The Guardian|url=http://www.gregpalast.com/how-barack-obama-could-end-the-argentina-debt-crisis/}}}}

The methods of voter suppression he outlined included vote purging, a legal process usually used to clean up voter rolls by deleting people from registration lists, voter challenges, the disqualification of ballots for minor clerical errors, the rejection of provisional ballots, and the disproportionately high vote rejection rates for Black voters.{{cite web|title=Voter Purges| author=Brennan center for justice |website=BRENNAN CENTER FOR JUSTICE|url=https://www.brennancenter.org/issues/ensure-every-american-can-vote/vote-suppression/voter-purges|access-date=January 30, 2025}} According to Palast, the Election Assistance Commission stated that 4,776,706 voters were wrongfully purged. He linked the voter challenges to "vigilante" vote-fraud hunters who targeted people to challenge and block the counting of their ballots, claims he previously made in his documentary Vigilantes Inc.{{cite web|title=Vigilantes Inc.|date=October 18, 2024 |author=Greg Palast|website=Youtube |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_XdtAQXnGE |access-date=January 30, 2025 }} He claimed that by August 2024, the rights of 317,886 voters were challenged with over 200,000 challenges occurring in Georgia.
