Koch Bros’ Double Triple Ultra Secret Meeting of 300 Right Wing Donors 

While we were all sleeping through June, dreaming the idea of democracy, the Koch brothers were busy on the podium of their biannual gathering to marshall the libertarian financiers who intend to determine the fate of the upcoming 2012 national election.  That election, in brother Charles Koch’s opening remarks at the conference, will be “the mother of all wars” and, in a rousing emotional appeal for “partners” in the fight, Charles listed 32 donors who have come forward to commit at least $ 1 million each to the fight “for the life or death of this country.”  That is, the Americans for Prosperity model of the life of this country.  Americans for Prosperity, the Koch-funded “grass roots” group that is supporting the efforts of the Tea Party.

Americans for Prosperity was founded by David Koch, the other brother.  Most Tea Party members think that they are a part of an anti-establishment movement to reclaim the American way.  The irony that this entire effort is funded by many of the nation’s billionaires — certainly the most wealthy citizens of the U.S.–  gives me pause.  When will the Tea Party figure out the game?  They are simply pawns of the greater scheme that began long before there was a Tea Party to join.  Undoubtably a similar “initiative” to those resulting in what Charles Koch refers to as outcomes at the most recent conference.
