Dave & Chuck Koch, A Glimpse

 The Koch Brothers : Dave & Chuck

We couldn't decipher which is which, though they clearly have an astounding dental plan
Damn you Brawny!!
These two men are amongst the richest in the entire world, the pinnacle of the GOP dream. They have diversified their company Koch Industries into a juggernaut which manufactures everyday items from Angel Soft ass tissue, Dixie Cups, Lycra fabrics, Stain Master carpets, and Brawny paper towels. *give us a second, feeling cheated and betrayed by that friendly Brawny lumber jack on the label, siiiiiiiigh.. and we're back*. The main investment which drives their train is oil, black gold, liquid Jesus.

Samuel P. Chase
It is no secret they have utilized their vast fortune to purchase political power like they are running through the automated check out at Target. It is also no longer a secret Dave, Chuck and others have utilized their "Chases" to bend scientific facts in their favor. Now, let's do some math.                    Koch + Science = Oil Is No More Harmful Then Water

It's no secret that the Koch Brothers fund such policy centers as the Cato Institute and Americans For Prosperity but they have also financially backed the Pacific Research Institute (PRI).

The PRI have been paid by the Koch Brothers to manufacture "junk" science smearing California's Global Warming Solutions Act AB32. In 2006 The Terminator signed AB32 into law beginning the 2020 greenhouse gas emissions reduction goal. Yessa bubs! Action to combat what is known as "smog country" or that nasty acid rain that keeps falling on your face?!

Thus, Chuck & Dave were going to have to "clean" up their act, or would they? In what has been called the "Big Oil Showdown", Dave & Chuck used the PRI to help back Prop 23 to repeal AB32. This lil' piece of legislation failed (by 61%) but the fear mongering train of the GOP continued, with a little "this bill is a job killer and tax raiser". Nice to see them all stay consistent and stick to basically the same playbook.

There is a group of slacker tree huggin' Hippies that have also released a ditty about the Koch duo and their influence over altering climate change science, you ever hear of Greenpeace? Oh they have a website? So their entire argument that the Left are a bunch of couch surfin' mom moochers just got bunked, nice.

Greenpeace released a scathing report in 2010 detailing how much ca$h money the Koch empire has spent on climate change denial. Check out some of these numbers and try not to shat yourself in front of your friends, or your dog, whoever you surf the net with :

• $365,000 to Foundation for Research on Economics and the Environment
(FREE) which advocates against taking action on climate change because
warming is “inevitable” and expensive to address.

• $360,000 to Pacific Research Institute for Public Policy (PRIPP) which
supported and funded An Inconvenient Truth…or Convenient Fiction,4 a film
attacking the science of global warming and intended as a rebuttal to former
Vice-President Al Gore’s documentary. PRIPP also threatened to sue the US
Government for listing the polar bear as an endangered species.

• $325,000 to the Tax Foundation, which issued a misleading study on the
costs of proposed climate legislation.

This is only part of the picture, because the full scope of direct contributions to organizations is not disclosed by individual Koch family members, executives, or from the company itself.


The Inconvenient Truth for these bastards is that no matter how they want to paint this picture for the time being, the environment is taking an ass whoopin' to make them a few bucks. We shudder to think of what our world will look like in twenty-five years if we continue down this greedy, dirty, unethical, immoral path.

Dave and Charlie, we leave you with this question : how do you rest your soulless bodies at night, deep down knowing you are putting innocent children at risk, all the while manipulating the "party of Christ" for your own personal gain?

  1. You've just got house after a difficult day at perform and all you want to do is rest in tranquility. Next factor you realize the next entrance neighbor has made the decision to have some renovations done and all you can listen to is the clang and hit of resources. Despite this you need not begin ripping your locks out as there is a remedy available, soundproofing.
    noise pollution.
