Are You Going To Help Them?

If you want to find out what the world would look like if the Koch Brothers ran it, take a look at income and wealth inequality right now and double it. Hell, triple it. After you have done that, explain to me how things are going to be better when our economy is two thirds consumer spending. If more people have less money and less people have more money, it's going to get worse because the consumer base is going to be so small.

The Kochs realize that they now have a fairly large audience that they can hoodwink into doing their bidding. They also realize President Obama and the Democrats (as well as a few Republicans) are a very large obstacle standing in their way. So what do they do? Compare Barack Obama to Saddam Hussein.



This is an audio recording of Charles Koch rallying his troops last June at their retreat last June. I find it very interesting that all of the things the Kochs do are highly secretive and rarely on display for the press. What are they hiding? To me, it's obvious.

Like the mob, they want to bust the joint out-the joint being America. They don't give a shit about the country or most of its people. They care about accumulating wealth and power. Period. More of it continually would be better. They are pathological in their pursuit of this and are clearly approaching the point in which they will do anything to further this goal.

Are you going to help them?

Oh good lord, Mark. I listened to the clip several times, and as far as I can make out, Mr. Koch is quoting a 'famous' Saddam Hussein phrase, not comparing Obama to Hussein. It's a little hard to tell because the clip is quite conveniently starting in the middle of the remarks. This comes pretty close to a flat out lie.

I agree with Larry but now that makes his comment worse. He's propping up Saddam Hussein as a model to emulate?

I'm going to help them as much as I can.

A little background on the false Koch Conspiracy

Mark Ward said...

6Kings, take note that my commentary on the Kochs was based on a primary source-Charles Koch himself. I don't need Mark Ames or Dana Loesch to tell me what the Kochs are all about.

Your link, though, is illustrative of a couple of things. First, the classic tactic of:

2. Character Assassination/Ad Hominem.

Now that we have you guys figured out, what are you going to do?

In addition, did you check your source for bias? Dana Loesch is a Tea Party leader. The Kochs are funding the Tea Party through their Americans for Prosperity foundation. It would be the same thing if I linked a Markos Moulitsas piece attacking Ann Coulter for going after unions.

Finally, it was my understanding that this article

and not Ames woke America up to the Kochs.

rld, My hope is that you are joking and just teasing me. If so, that's cool. If not, with guys like the Kochs, history has shown us that it always ends one way-badly.

And yet what you claim your "expose audio clip" of the evil, evil Charles Koch says is a lie obvious to anyone who bothers to listen to the clip. Good grief, Mark, even your usually loyal Santa thinks so. And then you have the gall to claim "character assassination"? What a shameless shill you are.
