The father of the billionaires Charles G. and David H. Koch helped construct a major oil refinery in Nazi Germany that was personally approved by Adolf Hitler, according to a new history of the Kochs and other wealthy families.

The book, "Dark Money," by Jane Mayer, traces the rise of the modern conservative movement through the activism and money of a handful of rich donors: among them Richard Mellon Scaife, an heir to the Mellon banking fortune, and Harry and Lynde Bradley, brothers who became wealthy in part from military contracts but poured millions into anti-government philanthropy.

But the book is largely focused on the Koch family, stretching back to its involvement in the far-right John Birch Society and the political and business activities of the father, Fred C. Koch, who found some of his earliest business success overseas in the years leading up to World War II. One venture was a partnership with the American Nazi sympathizer William Rhodes Davis, who, according to Ms. Mayer, hired Mr. Koch to help build the third-largest oil refinery in the Third Reich, a critical industrial cog in Hitler's war machine.

the american progressive party, which is today’s democrat party, was so closely aligned with the nazi party, many of their practices originated with the progressives... including propaganda (PR / spin), political correctness, and eugenics (death camps)

Let’s forget FDR being awfully chummy with ole Joseph Stalin and allowing communist sympathizers to infiltrate our government.

Pretty much. Let’s see The Slimes do a hit piece on Walter Durante, one of the biggest enablers of Stalin’s murderous purges, who just so happens to be working for, you guessed it, the New York Times.

It’s a good thing MY father’s dead ... I might be blamed for something HE did.
