GP: What they said was here you've got an elected president of the government and the IMF has announced, listen tothis, that they would support a transition government if the president were removed. They are not saying that they aregoing to get involved in politics - they would just support a transition government. What that effectively is is saying wewill pay for the coup d'etat, if the military overthrows the current president, because the current president of Venezuelahas said no to the IMF. He told those guys to go packing. They brought their teams in and said you have to do this andthat. And he said, I don't have to do nothing. He said what I'm going to do is, I'm going to double the taxes on oilcorporations because we have a whole lot of oil in Venezuela. And I'm going to double the taxes on oil corporations andthen I will have all the money I need for social programs and the government - and we will be a very rich nation. Well, assoon as they did that, they started fomenting trouble with the military and I'm telling you watch this space: the Presidentof Venezuela will be out of office in three months or shot dead. They are not going to allow him to raise taxes on the oilcompanies.AJ: Greg Palast, here is the problem. You said it when you first came out of the gates. They are getting hungry, they aredoing it to the United States now. Enron, from all the evidence that I've seen was a front, another shill, they would stealassets and then transfer it to other older global companies, then they blew that out and stole the pension funds. Now theyare telling us that terrorism is coming any day. It's going to happen if you don't give your rights up. Bush did not involveCongress and the others who are supposed to be in the accession if there is a nuclear attack in the secret government,Washington Post -"Congress Not Advised of Shadow Government." We have the Speaker of the House not being told. Thislooks like coup d'etat here. I'm going to come right out with it. We had better spread the word on this now or thesegreedy creatures are going to go all the way.GP: I'm very sad about one thing. I report this story in the main stream press of Britian. I'm on the BBC despite LordWakeham. I know he doesn't like me there. I'm in the BBC, I'm in the main daily paper, which is the equivalent of theNew York Times or whatever, and we do get the information out. And I'm just very sorry that we have to have analternative press, an alternative radio network and everything else to get out the information that makes any sense. Imean this information should be available to every American. I mean, after all, it's our government.At http://www.GregPalast.com you can read and subscribe to Greg Palast's London Observer columns and view his reportsfor BBC Television's Newsnight.The Enron Connection4/5/02 Alex Jones Show Interview of Greg Palast http://www.infowars.com/palast_interview.htmlAJ: - one of the top presenters on BBC Newsnight, has broken just dozens of bombshell stories - from the election of 2000to the IMF and World Bank, getting the secret documents of how they blow out economies, to the government priorknowledge of September 11th and Bush's connection to bin Laden and now a lot of other reporters from around the Worldfollowed suit in the footsteps of the real trail blazer, Greg Palast. Greg, it's great to have you on the show this evening.It's good tohave you back in the states because you are after all a Yankee with the rest of us, aren't you?GP: Yeah, very much a Yankee. Like I say, I've got that big giant, huge American flag in my office in Britain and it justdrives the Limies just nuts.By the way, Alex, since the last time we were on, I should tell you that you and I, you are abig hit in Argentina and all over Latin America in the Spanish speaking World. Our last interview was translated intoSpanish and it hit like a bomb there. It's just been all over the papers and radio and television in Argentina, Venezuela,Spain, just explosive stuff and I've been getting a lot of interviews coming out of Latin America about the manipulation ofthe World Bank and the IMF and the interventions in their economy on behalf of Enron and other corporate big shots.AJ: Well this shows that we can have an effect. And the reason that I think the stories that you have broken and that wejust elaborated on here is my audience spread the word and emailed it out to everybody. That's the power of talk radio.That's why they hate uncontrolled talk radio. They either want phony left-wing or phony right-wing and then they justkind of divert our energies off into what I call steam valves. But let's go ahead and tackle that now because that is such abig story. A few months ago, Mr. Stiglitz, the former chief economist of the World Bank, goes public, you suddenly get abunch of documents, and those have again been confirmed to be accurate. Let's spend some time on that and then getinto the election in 2000 and then get into government prior knowledge of September 11th. And, of course, your book,The Best Democracy Money Can Buy, now on the New York Times best seller list, thank God. I mean, getting into it, thesinister nature and how Enron ties into ties predatory fascistic capitalism, that's not free market. Hit 'em hard.GP: Well, it's not free market. Look, I was a student at the University of Chicago, in fact I was (garbled) in Chicago. And Iwas a student of Milton Friedman at the University of Chicago. And I was part of a little group called the Chicago Boys,and we actually, our group really pretty much took over the economy of Chile after the dictator Pinochet seized power in amilitary coup. The program was supposed to be free market, you know, like really open up the markets but, in fact, that'snot what happened. What it became is a few operators seized the banks, seized the copper mines, seized the resources ofthe nation and it was basically a big smash and grab operation. And then we saw this plan spread across the Americas,into Britain and then it's banging up against American shores. So I saw the inside back on this scheme from thebeginning. And then once I became an investigative reporter, I had the opportunity to not only get a bunch of documentsthat kind of walked out of the file cabinet at the World Bank. By the way, once again you are correct, the World Bank, theWorld Trade Organization, and the IMF. I have their inside documents. They have never ever said that the documents arenot authentic. They just - that they don't agree with my interpretation, or I don't have the full thing, or you know there'sexcuses and then they just try to slam me out. A couple of weeks ago, the President of the World Bank, Jim Wolfensen,was supposed to meet me on - suppose to confront him on CNN. And he said, "if Greg Palast is on CNN, I won't be and Iwill even pull my taped interviews that I have previously done for CNN." And CNN then pulled me off the air.
