KOCH BROS: Sponsoring Global Terrorism.

Edited on Tue Oct-04-11 09:19 PM by FarLeftFist

So it's well documented that the Koch Bros have a hand in the Tea party as evidenced by this 2010 video here: http://www.grist.org/article/koch-brothers-tea-party-connections-confirmed-video

And we know that the Koch Bros made illegal payments to win many foreign contracts.

An investigation also found evidence of improper payments to secure contracts in six countries.

In addition to being involved in improper payments to win business in Africa, India and the Middle East--Koch Bros have also sold millions of dollars of petrochemical equipment to Iran, a country the U.S. identifies as a sponsor of global terrorism.

So in essence, the Tea Party was partially funded by money made from a sponsor of global terrorism and in a criminal manner.

Tea Party=Teahadists.

Sounds about right.

1. Remember Shrub's rhetoric about you're either with us or the terrorists?

Looks like we now know which side the Koch bros are on.

8. I take it seriouisly. Clearly the Koch brothers support global terrorism as defined by the State.

They are fair game for a drone attack.

9. We all seem to have such nuanced positions on DU. That's okay.

You see, it's not that I entirely disagree. If they were supporting terrorist regimes while on unfriendly soil, I'd be all for the drone-kill.

Thing is, they're here on American soil.

So they're not susceptible to a drone attack.

Funny thing is, they also don't appear to be susceptible to the US justice system.

Think about that.

It's not 'because of Obama'. It's because of something far more terrifying.

What a shame that so many here can't actually see it.

11. someone led me to do a search on Grover Norquist today, and

I started with this page: http://www.ask.com/web?q=Grover+Norquist&search=&qsrc=0&o=0&l=dir
and read several pages of material. The 'How Grover Norquist Hypnotized the GOP' was interesting. This was an interesting site to find, http://www.democratichub.com/grover-glenn-norquist.aspx
though some of the posts were from back in August.

Is that close to what you find far more terrifying?
