Have you read "Armed Madhouse" by Greg Palast yet?

My GOD! I just started reading it this morning, and although I've only getten to page 20, I can honestly say everyone needs to read it!

BTW, page 1 & 2 states the most frightening theorie I've ever read!

1. What are the most frightening theory you read??? I don't know when

I can get around to reading it, so would like to know...thank you

2. Well, let me give you a few exerpts from page 1 & 2.

the opening sentence is: "President Jeb Bush declared his reelection victory early in August, before the machines were fully programmed, but the results were neverthe less assured."

"Our Nation, VP Katie Harris assures us, is safer and more prosperous than at any time in our history."

There are a few complaints, certainly non expressed openly after the Health Insurance Riots of 2009 when the last licensed union members were removed to Guantanamo.

Yesterday, Presidet binLaden of Eurasia, aslo re-declared himself and received a congratulatoryphone call from President Bush. "How long can we keep this up?" whispered Psama. Our President replied, "Just as long as tthe boobs and redencks andberserkers and believersstay shipped up and angry...foreverand ever, pardner."

"If my report from the future gives you the creeps, the present ain't a joyride either.


Certainly the first 2 pages are fiction, but frightening none the less. The next several pages I read are very descriptive of many of the things that have transpired since Shrub was installed, and everything Greg said is believable!

4. Thanks Guy. I've read a lot of the popular political books, like

those written by Richard Clarke, Molly Ivans, Bob Schieffer, Joe Conason, etc, but THIS ONE is downright frightening!

5. I still have not read it. I have quite a back log of books that I'm

trying to get through. But this one is definitely on my list. I have heard some of the book on tape excerpts and I have to say I can't wait to read it.

The Best Democracy Money Can Buy blew my mind. If might also recommend something. Confessions Of An Economic Hit Man is a kick ass book.
