Reporting I haven't seen elsewhere, including transcripts of FBI tapes of Koch brother ordering his employees to break laws to screw American Indians out of oil royalties. Quote "I only want my fair share, and that is all of it".

Palast also visited a polling place in Georgia, where he observed white voters walking in and voting unchallenged while black voters were asked to produce ID's and questioned about job status (Where do you work?) and other non-relevant info.

Palast is known as a muckraker who has not been employable in the USA of late because of his aggressive reporting that challenges the elite and powerful.

By the way, the Kochs avoided prosecution in the oil royalties case by donating big bucks to defeat a Democratic Senator, and his Republican replacement, once taking office, squashed the investigation by pressuring the Justice Dept to "re-assign" the Federal Prosecutor in charge of the case.
