The KOCH brothers pretty much own and run the whole world. If you have never heard of the Koch Brothers, Charles and David, they are billionaires who use their money to push their agenda, religious beliefs and pretty much do what they want...Here are some of the things they have been accused of over the years:
- Efforts to gut Social Security. Spending more than $28 million, the Kochs have funded hundreds of reports, commentaries and books which popularized the notion that Social Security is on the brink of collapse.
- Attempts at re-segregation. The film ("Koch Brothers Exposed" by Robert Greenwald) reports on Koch-funded efforts to remake a North Carolina school district’s diversity policy, in effect re-segregating the schools.[10]
- Voter Suppression. Koch money has supported voter ID laws in 38 states.[11] These laws are billed as a way to avoid voter fraud, but the film argues that they are actually intended to make it more difficult for Democrats to vote.[1]
- Keystone XL. The Kochs use their influence to sway legislation regarding the Keystone XL pipeline. Koch Industries has a significant financial interest in this oil and gas project.[10]
- Cancer in Crosset. A Koch paper plant pollutes the air and water of a community in Arkansas. The film explores a link with a cancer cluster in the small African-American community.[12]
- Higher Education. The Kochs give millions of dollars to universities, with the stipulation that the schools must hire Koch-sympathetic professors.[10] An opening introductory profile, in the film "The Koch Brothers Exposed", on the Koch brothers claims that their inherited wealth was built by their father Fred Koch, a founder of the John Birch Society, by working for Joseph Stalin, and has been used to “wage a systematic attack on American values” and “defining the lives of ordinary American under the radar for over 50 years.” according to Wikipedia's overview of the film. I think I must confess I am bit prejudice against the Koch brothers. I feel anyone who probably have lunch with Dick Cheney and "W" on a regular basis, which for me puts them on my enemy list just by association. I have always told my kids, "You are who your friends are." That is a nefarious group right there, if you ask me.
- So, given the fact that they have lived under the radar for all these years, secretly manipulating our world, the fact that they now have the kahunas to have a PR commercial telling us how great they are and how just about everything we use comes from the KOCH EMPIRE, scares the ever lovin' shit outa me! You all really need to read up on these fellas. Colleges have to hire Koch sympathetic professors. Presidents and congressmen take their call, immediately! Horrific things happen and they get slaps on the wrists...but according to the commercial, we are all damn lucky to have them and their products in our world. And they totally need to go see a proctologist about those balls cuz they truly have the BIGGEST BALLS OF THEM ALL!
