Letter to the Editor: Published as "King Koch" 01 Nov. 2012

This LTE was printed in three papers, two in Jefferson County, Ks. this week. I revised it for clarity since submitting it and for your convenience added an embedded link. The quote by Charles Koch comes from federal wiretaps used as evidence years ago for indictments that were later dropped (thanks to Sen. Bob Dole et. al.) Many thanks to Greg Palast for his latest book "Billionaires and Ballot Bandits" currently a New York Times best seller and a must have for all Kansas progressives. His last appearance several months ago on Radio Free Kansas was covering his "Vultures Picnic" which ironically dragged the Koch's into this book.

King Koch

While Kansas Brownback conservatives celebrate their methane inspired calamity raining and blowing Hell upon the good people living along the eastern seaboard I am obliged to inform all of the following:

Contrary to the current chorale of, "free markets, individual liberty and limited government" heard from many acolytes of Kansas billionaire-philosopher King Charles Koch, the class struggles of the "haves" and "have - not" will not miraculously disappear with the rigged election of their latest stooge, the Christian Mormon Mitt Romney.

King Charles Koch has for decades spread this bastardized American strain of the "libertarian" doctrine by financing think tanks, national armies of elected law writers, an officer corps of tax avoidance lawyers and accountants creating this once in a lifetime political "Frankenstorm" for U. S. citizens.

King Charles Koch hiding under the a cape as an everyday "private citizen" has billions of dollars in tax havens outside the country, received hundreds of millions in government subsidies and since former Sen. Bob Dole sued for and received alike share in federal tax refunds.

King Charles Koch was wiretapped decades ago by federal cops saying, "I want my fair share and that’s all of it."

King Charles Koch yearly through his employed agents wantonly created false oil shipment manifestos to deprive Oklahoma-area Osage Native Americans of millions and millions of dollars from their own land.

King Charles Koch through campaign financing his elected agents of influence waged a law writing war to pull the law enforcement teeth from the Environmental Protection Agency and launched onerous attempts to repeal clean air laws, return the mind killing mineral lead into gas, paint and deregulate the production of embalming fluid, formaldehyde.

King Charles Koch has aroused through nefarious networks of tax deductible "social welfare" organizations howling mobs of self-styled "Tea Party" citizens against Universal Health Care, Social Security and food cards for American families of four making less than $23,000 per year.

King Charles Koch holds private galas to entertain members of the U. S. Supreme Court to "educate" them on his metaphysical "free market" philosophy as an American "libertarian."

King Charles Koch through a well documented trail of monopoly capitalist intrigue has bought, exploited and polluted the geopolitical terrain not only of Kansas, but as part of the .001% has made demons in the minds of our leaders and many citizens hearts against the "47%" who receive ANY federal checks.

King Charles Koch, including those in the Loyal Opposition, are baring their corporate vampire fangs, sharpening their budget cutting butcher knives with the election of the Christian Mormon Mitt Romney, magical underwear and all.

I am reminded with this electoral defeat of President Obama, not of a well intentioned naive Jimmy Carter, as so many Koch heads proclaim Obama to resemble, rather of Lyndon Baines Johnson surrounded by Cold War hawks in his own privy council saying, "Fine, I'll give you your god-damn war."

LBJ withdrew after serving one elected term and like the disastrous climate changes we are witnessing today, Heaven fell asunder. Karl Roves' designed "40 years" of a G.O.P. dynasty will shape shift, like Mitt Romney into a robber baron empire of King Charles Koch and members of his “buck buddy” billionaire cults.

"If the study to which you apply yourself has a tendency to weaken your affections, and to destroy your taste for those simple pleasures in which no alloy can possibly mix, then that study is certainly unlawful, that is to say, not befitting the human mind. If this rule were always observed; if no man allowed any pursuit whatsoever to interfere with the tranquility of his domestic affections, Greece had not been enslaved; Caesar would have spared his country; America would have been discovered more gradually; and the empires of Mexico and Peru had not been destroyed."
