How to Fight the Koch Brothers


If you haven't already heard about the nefarious multi-billionaire Koch Brothers--Charles and David--the sons of Fred Koch, the co-founder of the notorious neo-fascist John Birch Society that smeared president Eisenhower as a communist, you can read Julian Brooks's exposé in the April 20, 2012, issue of Rolling Stone, entitled  The Koch Brothers – Exposed!

Excerpt: "[The Koch Brothers] are the plutocrats from central casting – oil-and-gas billionaires ready to buy any congressman, fund any lie, fight any law, bust any union, despoil any landscape, or shirk any (tax) burden to push their free-market religion and pump up their profits. 

"...Over the past 30-some years, they've poured more than 100 million dollars into a sprawling network of foundations, think tanks, front groups, advocacy organizations, lobbyists and GOP lawmakers, all to the glory of their hard-core libertarian agenda. They don't oppose big government so much as government – taxes, environmental protections, safety-net programs, public education: the whole bit."

If you want to lean even more about this evil duo, read Jane Mayer's explosive exposé in the August 30, 2010 issue of the New Yorker, entitled Covert Operations The billionaire brothers who are waging a war against Obama 

If you've finished the articles, your blood must be boiling and you are wondering, how can I fight these guys?  How can I stop the nefarious billionaire Koch Brothers from taking over the United States of America and turning into a fascist state run by monster corporations and billionaire plutocrats?

The answer is easy: cut off the money!  The only language plutocrats like the Koch Brothers understand in money; therefore, the only way to fight the Koch Brothers is to stop giving them your money.  And how can you stop giving the nefarious Koch Brothers your hard-earned cash? By avoiding any of the products and services produced by the Koch Industries conglomerate!

Click on this link to find a  list of brands owned by the Koch Brothers entitled Breaking the Koch Habit. You'll immediately recognize paper proucts such as Dixie Cups, Quilted Northern, Brawny and textiles such as CoolMax, Cordura, Lycra and Stainmaster.  Take the list with you the next time you go shopping and don't buy anything on the list. 

[Now some of you might be wondering if, by refusing to buy Koch Industries products and services you might be hurting ordinary shareholders or mutual-fund shareholders who invested in Koch Industries.  Don't worry!  There aren't any ordinary shareholders in Koch Industries because Koch Industries is privately-owned by the Koch family! In fact, it's the second-largest privately-owned company in America [after Cargill] with 2010 revenue of $102 billion  There are no shares traded on the stock market; so you won't hurt any ordinary investors.]

Let's get started--avoid Koch Industries!
