Such that on November 5th, maybe by midnight on the East Coast, Americans may know who is going to be the next president, idleguy.com thought it best to include some tomes on the subjects of elections and politics.
Gore Vidal's account of the election of Rutherford B. Hays over Samual Tilden recalls America's Centennial election theft, providing skeptics with plenty to chew on regarding political dirty tricks and rigged election results from nearly 150 years ago.
Greg Palast's best-known work is presented, along with a link to his personal website (he's still writing).
David Horowitz has provided an in-depth look at what Donal J. Trump has been calling out the past few months: The enemy within. Did Trump read Horowitz or is it just that obvious?
The centennial of the United States was celebrated with great fanfare - fireworks, exhibitions, pious calls to patriotism, and perhaps the most underhanded political machination in the country's history: the theft of the presidency from Samuel Tilden in favor of Rutherford B. Hayes. This was the Gilded Age, when robber barons held the purse strings of the nation, and the party in power was determined to stay in power. Gore Vidal's novel 1876 gives us the news of the day through the eyes of Charlie Schuyler, who has returned from exile to regain a lost fortune and arrange a marriage into New York society for his widowed daughter. And although Tammany Hall has faltered and Boss Tweed has fled, the effects of corruption reach deep, even into Schuyler's own family.
Greg Palast digs deep to unearth the ugly facts that few reporters working anywhere in the world today have the courage or ability to cover. From East Timor to Waco, he has exposed some of the most egregious cases of political corruption, corporate fraud, and financial manipulation in the US and abroad. His uncanny investigative skills as well as his no-holds-barred style have made him an anathema among magnates on four continents and a living legend among his colleagues and his devoted readership. This excitingcollection brings together some of Palast's most powerful writing of the 1990s and early 2000s. Included here are his celebrated Washington Post expose on Jeb Bush and Katherine Harris's stealing of the presidential election in Florida, and recent stories on George W. Bush's payoffs to corporate cronies, the payola behind Hillary Clinton, and the faux energy crisis. Also included in this volume are new and previously unpublished material, television transcripts, photographs, and letters.
Some comments on Greg Palast's writings:
"The journalist I admire most. His amazing work puts all the rest of us journalists to shame. I'm an avid reader of everything Palast writes - can never get enough of it."
"Hearsay and misinformation."
"Tony Blair's nightmare."
"George Bush's nightmare."
"Greg Palast is investigative journalism at its best. No one has exposed more truth about the Bush Cartel and lived to tell the story."
Baltimore Chronicle
"I don't have to be nice to the spirit of the Anti-Christ."
David Horowitz has been the bete noire of the Left for decades on account of his courageous revelations of their aims and tactics, and now he sounds the alarm: the barbarians are already inside the gates. Horowitz lays out how we have ended up in the worst national crisis since the Civil War. He details:
