Koch Agenda
Background III
Understanding the Billionaires behind the corporate capture of America
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #ProudBlue #DemVoice1 #DemCast Image
The first step to correcting the path of restoring our Democracy, is recognizing and exposing this Ultra Libertarian plot for America
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #ProudBlue #DemVoice1 #DemCast Image
Orwellian doublespeak is the language of the Koch's and indeed by proxy the language of Republicans today
Anarchist, totalitarianism is what they stand for. Yet they prefer libertarian as it sounds less intimidating
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #ProudBlue #DemVoice1 #DemCast Image
Drawing from intellectual anarcho-totalitarian heroes of economists like Rand, Hayek and to spread their anti-government message, they embarked on a decades long mission to replace Democracy with free rein economics
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #ProudBlue #DemVoice1 #DemCast Image
Stealth and subterfuge all hallmark trademarks of the Kochtopus. Ingrained by their father Fred who founded the John Birch society
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #ProudBlue #DemVoice1 #DemCast Image
The irony of the Koch network being the force it is today, is that the Kochs were influenced by the lunatic LeFevre, a cult like figure who Charles Koch supported all his life.
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #ProudBlue #DemVoice1 #DemCast Image
Attacking Democracy meant creating an enemy
What better way to rile up anti intellectuals than accuse the left of trying to punish them for creating unchecked wealth
Trigger words like socialism became the new language
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #ProudBlue #DemVoice1 #DemCast Image
The Billionaires organize and Koch's agenda becomes a long term strategy to Replace Democracy with Authoritarianism

Koch has largely flown under the radar for the most Americans, even among those who recognize the name, do not necessarily understand his entire network

But Koch's track record should scare the hell out of all citizens
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #ProudBlue #DemVoice1 #DemCast Image
Indoctrination to the Koch way reads like pages from 1984
Ideology indoctrination is a tactic is embedded in the Republican party messaging today and these are the people who want to Privatize Public Ed?
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #ProudBlue #DemVoice1 #DemCast Image
Cult like adherence to ideology is a bedrock of the Koch network, alive in all GOP messaging commanding obedience to the Billionaire libertarians who promise them all a better life.
Despite all evidence they do not
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #ProudBlue #DemVoice1 #DemCast Image
Like most billionaires who push the “Pull yourselves up from your own bootstraps” rhetoric. Koch inherited his fortune.
Kind of like claiming you hit a homerun in life, when you started the game on 3rd base
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #ProudBlue #DemVoice1 #DemCast Image
Koch’s unsavory business practices included lying for profit by shortchanging Native American Tribes in Oklahoma.
The primary motivator of Koch’s ideology is “unrestricted profit no matter what the expense to the Public”
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #ProudBlue #DemVoice1 #DemCast Image
Koch’s industries have been frequent targets of the EPA and Koch’s hatred of the EPA is well documented.
To Koch as with all narcissists, anyone that holds him accountable for his actions is the enemy
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #ProudBlue #DemVoice1 #DemCast Image
Koch's corporate model has caused deaths/pollution in trade for unchecked profits.
This is his vision for all of us and he has spent Billions lying to us about how much better life would be under this ideology

Few understand how The Federalist Society is the Koch/Billionaire judicial wing and much more
As with all organizations in the Koch agenda
Rolling the country back to pre-new deal economics is their only mission
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #DemCast #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue
If we’re looking for Reagan’s shining city upon a hill
we won’t find it in America’s now-distant past.
And if it’s what the Koch/Federalists are promising us, we can only hope it’s not in America’s future.
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #DemCast #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue
Roe v Wade rollbacks, Education de-funding, Voter suppression are just a part of the scheme of the Federalist Societies agenda
Anything and everything to chip away our freedoms and destroy the progress made since FDR

AstroTurf Organizations within the Koch network each promote issues and advance multiple Koch agendas at once
CRT for example is to undermine public education-promote privatization and enrage their voters to vote R
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #DemVoice1 #DemCast #ProudBlue Image
Koch libertarians could honestly care less about CRT as an issue, but knowing they could twist the facts, play to the racists and pick up Republicans votes by twisting the CRT message..they went all in in Virginia
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #DemVoice1 #DemCast #ProudBlue Image
Faux grass roots appearance of the Anti-CRT campaign is another trade mark of Koch networks
However, it doesn't take Herculean effort to uncover the same old billionaires behind the scenes, despite their attempts to hide

Koch Think Tank/Media influence
Think Tanks do not operate independently of the entire network, but mainstream disinformation while creating faux credibility, so issues are promoted thru the whole network at once
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #DemCast #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue
Part of what ties the Koch Network together is alumni from the think tanks who now work or own the media.
Right Wing media outlets have been popping up all over the country, seemingly out of thin air for 2 decades now.
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #DemCast #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue
In order to operate in the shadows secrecy is paramount
Koch whose father when talking about the secrecy needed to organize the John Birch Society stated “the whale that spouts is the whale harpooned”

Koch Heritage Foundation II
Koch think tanks are integral to the Koch network Creating disinformation to give intellectual cover for Ultra libertarian viewpoints
Seemingly independent, but in reality all connected
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #DemVoice1 #DemCast #Proudblue
Like its peer groups, Heritage dedicates significant energy to extremist policy recommendations that hinder access to abortion/birth control/ as well as climate change/covid disinformation while promoting Culture Wars
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #DemVoice1 #DemCast #Proudblue
As an example of Heritage propaganda, while decrying Political narrative they in turn spin the narrative and pivot to society breakdown, religious rhetoric, freedom…anything but the real issue…Lax gun safety regulation

Koch think tanks are integral to the Koch network Creating disinformation to give intellectual cover for Ultra libertarian viewpoints
Seemingly independent, but in reality all connected
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #DemVoice1 #DemCast #Proudblue
The Heritage Foundation is one of the many Right Wing think tanks supplying an endless stream of misinformation to advance Kochs Neoliberalism and to perpetuate Corporate Capture of our Democracy
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #DemVoice1 #DemCast #Proudblue
Although all Koch Corporate Capture institutions claim to be independent of each other.
Following the money from Donors trust and others all leads back to Koch and fully support the Koch Agenda for America
