Jane Mayer of The New Yorker has a new book out: âDark Money: The Hidden History of the Billionaires Behind the Rise of the Radical Right.â Itâs mostly about those old devils the Koch brothers.
Charles and David Koch are billionaires. They own a very big company. They also are very prominent philanthropists, giving hundreds of millions to cancer research, concert halls and other worthy causes. But what makes them hated and feared by progressives such as Mayer is their political work. They help fund some organizations and foundations, some purely educational, some partisan.
To listen to the left, they are the closest thing we have to real-world James Bond villains. So what is their agenda? Is it to retreat to their orbiting harems, populated with fertile females, as they wipe out humanity below so that they can return to repopulate the planet? Or is to dupe the Russians and Americans into a nuclear squabble so that the Kochs can rule the ashes?
Well, hereâs Mayerâs explanation of their dark and sinister ambitions: âWhat people need to understand is the Kochs have been playing a very long game,â she told NPRâs Steve Inskeep. âAnd itâs not just about elections. It started four decades ago with a plan to change how America thinks and votes. So while some elections they win and some elections they lose, what theyâre aiming at is changing the conversation in the country.â

Liberal billionaires are good and only want to help mankind.
And changing it for the better, IMNSHO. Exposing the warts on the left is a good thing.
If the Koch brothers are considered radical right, this country won't be set back on its proper path without a good old fashioned bloodletting. Thanks Beave Meister.
