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?

Do You Get Sweaty Palms At The Pumps?

There has been much hullaballo over the price of fuel and where we can throw the blame. That misogynist clown  Representative Alan West(R) of Florida would like to blame President Obama for his $70 tab to fill up his 2008 H3 Hummer. Yeah, a damn H3 Hummer and the man is shocked it cost so much to fill the tank. Wow.

Others would like to blame Iran and the instability they are causing by forging ahead with their nuclear program. Plenty more are throwing the blame on Wall Street with the speculators. Could it be just pure old supply and demand? Well, what the hell  is the reason I almost vomit and break out in sweats at the pumps?

Wednesday, oil futures (what the hell are those) spiked 2% in one day to it's highest levels in 9 months. Yet, demand has not increased enough to warrant this surge in price. It would seem that supply and demand is not the root of this problem. The demand in the US alone is the lowest since September 2001.

So, let's look at that crazy son of a bitch Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the President of the Islamic Republic of Iran, can we stick some blame on him? Last week members of the European Union imposed a ban on Iranian oil effective July 1, as well as froze the country's central bank assets. The US has also said they would black list suppliers using Iranian Oil if they go ahead with their nuke programs.

This EU banishment is no big deal, because Iran can still deal with the Saudi Arabians, and Russia to get their oil. Iran produces about 2.5 million barrels of black gold per a day with 500,000 barrels sold to the United Kingdom and France. The rest goes to China, India, South Korea, and Japan. All but South Korea have stated they will cut imports by 10% because of increased sanctions by the United States.

Iran is the second highest supplier of crude behind Saudi Arabia in the OPEC nations, however they contribute very little to our market. The instability over their nuclear program and the west's reaction to it however, does cause some concerns on the market. All stated, we can take them off the table as our sole cause for ballooning gas prices.

Let's discuss Barack Obama, are these prices his fault? I mean hell it is his fault the economy tanked in 2009 even though he had barely taken office.. AND DON'T YOU TRY TO TELL US ANY DIFFERENTLY.

Time to call a spade a spade, the Keystone XL pipeline being denied access through our nation has nothing to do with fuel prices in the great US of A. Obama's policies are focused on renewable sources of energy. The GOP has turned this into a beaming lightening rod with voters. They say these policies alone are reason for such a rise in price and they won't stop until we "drill baby drill". There is little President Obama or any president for that matter can do to bring down fuel prices in the near term. Domestic oil production has grown since 2009, but that alone is not going to help us become more energy independent. So when the GOP candidates say "drill 'er 'til she's dry" they don't understand that flooding the market isn't going to help make prices cheaper if the demand isn't there. The President's policies are an attempt to lead us towards more energy independence, so we won't have to rely on foreign nations for our fuels.

Wall Street speculators, how about these vultures? This McClatchy article  aims the laser pointer towards them as being one of the key issues in oil prices. Give the article a look and judge for yourself.
