Koch Brothers: Coming soon to astroturf your neighborhood

[L. Coyote]

Watching the #BundyTeaParty street theater in Portland, at the federal courthouse, with an attorney and a gaggle of clearly incompetent, minor league politicos from the remote sagebrush hitherlands, I was struck by the obvious, these actors are astroturfers performing in some larger plot to steal federal resources from the commons, someone was pulling their strings and maybe even paying the dozen people watching the actors and putting up YouTubes, but they are acting in chorus, creating propaganda media, all reading from one script.[center]

Rolly: The Koch brothers: Coming soon to your neighborhood
By PAUL ROLLY | The Salt Lake Tribune Feb 12 2016

The Koch brothers' growing influence, fueled by their billions of dollars worth of enterprise, has become so invasive throughout American life that David and Charles Koch have become household names.

They have spread their money far and wide to buy not only influence but elections, and they proudly played a role in the 2010 defeat of three-term, well-respected Utah Sen. Bob Bennett at the Utah Republican convention, a result that led to the election of tea party extremist Mike Lee.

The Koch brothers, through their super PAC Americans for Prosperity, have flexed their muscle through ads and mailers in Utah to let everyone know that if they challenge Lee for re-election in 2016, they will have to fight against the Kochs' considerable money and clout.

They helped controversial Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker survive a recall election and then bought his way to re-election.

They were huge money supporters of Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback ..........
