Koch Economics and their Debt Default Advantage - Robert Greenwald

We are seeing the result of Koch Economics and what happens when a few tycoons accrue the billions necessary to invest in politicians, nonprofit foundations and ideological think thanks.

Pay for active duty soldiers and veterans' benefits would freeze without raising the debt ceiling. Embassies, emergency assistance, IRS and all the accounting at the Treasury Department, airport security, education, student loans and unemployment insurance, food inspection, transportation work and government contracts with thousands of businesses will all be left in the lurch if the government defaults. There's even a chance Social Security checks will be delayed or withheld altogether.

Through their political contributions, the Koch brothers are on the front lines of this debt debacle, and they are in position to use the economic crisis to advance their ideological and economic goals of eradicating social services.

We've been following this on our Koch Brothers Exposed page on Facebook. What we know for sure is the Koch brothers fund individuals who are willing to play chicken with our nation.

1. A few hundred wealthy families seem to have done all this damage over decades of faked movements ...

but think of the damage they did in the mid-30's supporting Hitler and the Nazis --

Prescott Bush -- Allen Dulles -- using front companies to raise money from the elite

all over the world to send on to Hitler.

First they had to destroy the restrictions on Germany vs rearmament -- that's where

it began.

This isn't simply going to end with Social Security and Medicare --

They want much more --

2. They want to finish the job against the masses that FDR and Churchill interrupted?

Certainly Dulles made sure he brought his Nazi pals into our "American" government once the war was "over..."

3. True --

re Project Paperclip --

Imo, this is the "Rise of the Fourth Reich" -- see Jim Marrs on that --

or "The Beast Reawakens" by Martin Lee --


As we watch the rise of the right wing here since the coup on JFK, it is wholly

about vilolence and teaching it. From the embrace of war for profit from VN to ME,

to the rise of TORTURE in our nation -- though it started long ago as a covert tool

of our government in Operation Phoenix and less organized ways in Vietnam.

From the violence of The Drug War to the violence of our police enforcement.

If you look at TV at all, you'll see that there is very little on but violence and

that's been the way it's been since the early 70's, worsening each year.

And with the rise of the right, we also see disrespect for females growing -- and the

rising enslavement of women and youth in sexual slavery.

Long time ago, I remember reading an article on the Koch Bros -- having no idea how

intertwined they were with America's political violence -- and the author of the article

was making clear how sleazy these people were -- in every way -- including one of the

brothers disgruntled at a female reporter's question, having responded by calling her

a "cunt." Really nice people to have been invited in to infiltrate the Democratic Party

for 20 years via the DLC -- !!
