Musk's only objective is to smother truth with misdirection, while supporting Koch's strategy to destroy democracy

Cloaking lies under "Free Speech" is a favorite tactic of the Koch roadmap

Republican racist politics of the Koch movement are not an accident
Neither is their embrace of fascism
Promoting/Celebrating ignorance is necessary to divide the country

Climate and Covid disinformation was purposely created to protect Corporate wealth and just as importantly a means of eroding Govt credibility

Destroying faith our Govt is a major tenet of the Koch Plot

The Koch/Libertarian plot should be general knowledge to the public,But it is so unpopular that Koch has had to use diversion and lies to cover up the true agenda
All Right Wing media is misdirection
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #DemCast #DemVoice1

The ultimate goal of the Koch/Libertarian plot is to create a Govt legally thru lies and misdirection that supports the greed of Billionaires
Changing the constitution to end Democracy is the Goal

The Koch dystopia👇👇 spoiler last page of democracy in chains Image
Buchanan's action plan has been in place by Koch/Libertarians and promoted/implemented by most Billionaires in this country
Ie
Citizens United
Extreme judicuary
Corporate subsidies
Low to No taxes for the 1% Image
Buchanan devoted his academic career to understanding how Democrats became so powerful and, creating an effective line of attack to break down Democracy
Together with the Virginia elite returning America to the Confederate Agenda
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #DemCast #DemVoice1 Image
Buchanan/Koch studied the workings of the political process for what was needed to deny ordinary people white and Black the ability to make claims on govt at the expense of private property owners and the wishes of capitalists.
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #DemCast #DemVoice1 Image
Buchanan/Koch then identified how to rejigger that political process not only to reverse the gains but also to prevent the system from ever reverting back. He sought, in his words, to “enchain Leviathan,”
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #DemCast #DemVoice1 Image
The Koch cause does not advertise Buchanan's work, preferring to tout the sunnier primers of Hayek, Friedman and even Ayn Rand when recruiting. Buchanan is the Koch/libertarian advanced course
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #DemCast #DemVoice1 Image
Under Koch's shadow agenda Buchanan urged the full privatization of Virginia’s public schooling in 1959

He later advised the Pinochet regime on a capital-protecting constitution that could withstand the end of the dictatorship
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #DemCast #DemVoice1 Image
Koch/Buchanan taught Corporate/GOP leaders to use the “spectrum of secession” undercutting hard-won reforms
with measures that are now core to Republican practice

Although alarming that Trump wants to terminate the constitution,

It should not be surprising!
Destroying the constitution has been the Koch/Republican agenda for 2 decades now

All Democrats/Republicans/Independents should read and understand what the true Koch/Republican agenda is for this country.

Oligarch Autocracy means we will all suffer under this Modern Republican Fascism

The World Bank not only noted that the Biden-era economy is the world’s strongest, it also concluded that the global economy is in better shape in large part because of the United States’ recovery.

And Republicans complain the economy is in shambles?

It cant be both...and Republicans would have you believe the whole world is wrong...and only they are right?

These people should scare you...Please read the article

"A network of ultra-wealthy Christian donors is spending nearly $12 million to mobilize Republican-leaning voters and purge more than a million people from the rolls in key swing states (using AI), aiming to tilt the 2024 election in favor of former President Donald Trump....."

 These people should scare you...stop buying their products

..."These previously unreported plans are the work of a group named Ziklag, a little-known charity whose donors have included some of the wealthiest conservative Christian families in the nation, including the billionaire Uihlein family, who made a fortune in office supplies, the Greens, who run Hobby Lobby, and the Wallers, who own the Jockey apparel corporation.

"Recipients of Ziklag’s largesse include Alliance Defending Freedom, which is the Christian legal group that led the overturning of Roe v. Wade, plus the national pro-Trump group Turning Point USA and a constellation of right-of-center advocacy groups."

Industries are consolidating because, for the past 40 years, policymakers, judges, and law enforcers have not only allowed big mergers, they have encouraged them, deeming them beneficial for customers and the economy. AKA Reaganomics

This turns out to be catastrophically wrong.

By every measure, in small towns and big cities, mergers have killed jobs, suppressed wages, smothered independent businesses, and left residents despondent and cynical, as our stark political and economic divide grows ever wider.

***In Trumps last nine months, the number of corporate mergers sent to the feds for review reached a staggering 40 percent over 2019. In August alone, companies announced 369 major mergers, about 12 per day.

President Biden has implemented the most ambitious anti-monoploly program in a half-century or more.

He has appointed dedicated trust-busters like Lina Khan and Jonathan Kanter to lead the long-moribund antitrust agencies, and in July he issued a sweeping executive order to promote competition and fairness for small businesses and workers.

For the first time in many decades, the government and its law enforcement agencies have a clear understanding that, to combat corporate concentration and the harms it causes, you must stop companies from buying their way to dominance by taking over their rivals or suppliers.

But all of this hard work will matter little without addressing another barrier:

The right wing disinformation coming from their big business funded think tanks…and Right Wing appointed judges who are convinced that most corporate mergers do more good than harm, are creating thickets of pro-merger court decisions that are undermining economic reform.

Congress needs to pass new laws that undo these bad policies and precedents.

The Republican 2024 Election Game plan is on...and when you have zero policies that the population wants ...this is what you do

1-Claim cheating (again) before the ballots have been cast..sow doubt and discord among the ignorant
2-Threaten and intimidate voters with aggressive and illegal poll watching schemes
3-Overwhelm Secretary of State offices with purges of the voter rolls
4-Claim both candidates are unpopular -create a dystopian view of powerlessness and that your vote wont matter
5-Push 3rd party candidates who are only designed to siphon off Democrat votes..

Just remember anything information from the RNC is a lie...Its all they have...

DONT FALL FOR IT... PUSH BACK AND CALL IT OUT!!!

In the past four decades, the large majority of Bills enacted by congress, a full 85 % have included tax cuts for the richest people and corporations —

Billions of dollars that would otherwise have gone to the federal till for spending, that could help the rest of the public get ahead and finance every Social Program in the country

Yet, The whole purpose of the Income Tax is and always will be…

"That is the great wealth which allows them to enjoy such advantages over those that have less, created from the earnings of their fellow citizens……. obligating them with a duty to give back to the society they have received and taken so much from…"

#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #ProudBlue @POTUS
The federal tax system has been transformed into something akin to a private-equity slush fund for wealthy taxpayers, giving them remarkable returns from multiple sources.

And as each Republican Congress showers them with more benefits, most Americans struggled to keep up with the cost of living

Every year corporations spend more than 85% of the total reported expenses associated with lobbying Congress.
By contrast, labor unions, which represent interests of working people, account for less than 2%
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #ProudBlue @POTUS
Before the income tax was enacted in 1913, average Americans paid the bulk of federal taxes through levies on imported goods and Until World War II, the income tax was levied on only the richest Americans.
Even after that, the system was designed so people with more money paid higher rates — much higher for the wealthiest.

Fast forward to Reaganomics...and Republicans have tucked large breaks for the rich into proposals with small cuts for millions of other Americans, effectively disguising the main beneficiaries… the billionaire class.

All while promoting tax cuts with claims about economic benefits that have never panned out.

Why can’t Republicans ever get it right?

"Lurking behind the embrace of fresh new Republican madness are all the devotees of the GOP’s traditional Trickle Down insanity.

The magical thinking that allows a sensate human being to believe that the government can reduce revenue, increase expenditure, and balance the budget.

Laying out their fiscal plans. You could charitably call it an exercise in unfounded optimism. But, more accurately, it is a long-debunked, many times warmed-over, sh!te sandwich"

Lie #1
The federal government is spending money it doesn’t have, papering over a now more than $1.5 trillion annual deficit by printing more of it

However, the federal government is not printing more money — quite the opposite.

The US money supply is declining. Something it has not done in at least 65 years.

There is no evidence that budget deficits cause inflation. The numbers do not point to it.

The US ran large deficits in 2008, and prices fell. Barack Obama, was the most successful budget hawk since Bill Clinton.
Yet the low inflation rate he presided over continued through his debt-addicted (Trump) successor’s reign of deficit explosion.

Lie #2
Republicans will cut spending, *reduce bureaucracy, and free American workers to grow our economy:

Is bureaucracy a problem in the US? Is the government over-employing?
Nobody likes red tape, forms, and all the other penny-ante bureaucratic bullsh!te.
However, in terms of employment numbers, the federal government is leaner now than in 1948.

During the Truman administration, federal workers (1.6 million) represented 2.8% of all workers (58.1 million). In 2023, federal workers (3.0 million) represented 1.9% of all workers (161.0 million).

*Note: Federal employment peaked at 3.1 million workers In April 1990 — after nine years of Reagan/Bush fiscal policies.
