That’s the message from one of the Koch network’s chief lieutenants as hundreds of the nation’s most powerful Republican donors gathered for a weekend retreat on Saturday. With Election Day just three months away, Koch lamented the state of the 2016 contest during a welcome reception inside a luxury hotel at the foot of the Rocky Mountains.

The ugly truth revealed is that 95% of the elite billionaires are at heart, Socialist Dictators & hard core Communists.

Anti Trust the mega billionaires. Attack their IP Intellectual Property monopolies.

1000s of innovators are ready to build similar and better products. Attack them all.

Infiltrate and gain control of big business.

That list came out in 1958 and was entered into the Congressional Record five years later. Think the goal was achieved? Far sooner than most people bother to consider.

They’re consistent libertarians, have been for a very long time.. It’s a political philosophy. You can look it up.

Despite all the Democrat rhetoric about the Koch brothers they remain globalist big l Libertarians. Their contributions to Republicans are way down the list of all donors but they are the first ones on that list that give to Republicans. I think I remember that they are # 60 on the list......
