Koch Brothers Use Their Trust Fund To Corrupt Education
| 
Author: 
We all know that the truth has a well-documented liberal bias that Conservative, so-called “free market” ideology – with its long history of failure – simply cannot abide.
With that in mind, the Reich Wing of America is doing all they can to graft their dead-end ideas onto the minds of the young in the hopes of enlisting more zombie acolytes to cheer their own demise.
Case in point: for the past three years, American children all over the country have been subjected to a curriculum originating in a book titled “The United States of Energy,” published by Scholastic with the (undoubtedly) unbiased sponsorship from the good people at the American Coal Foundation. The book regaled the students with a litany of completely positive coal facts – sans any of the nasty down sides.
A recent NY Times article stated,
“What they do not mention are the negative effects of mining and burning coal: the removal of Appalachian mountaintops; the release of sulfur dioxide, mercury and arsenic; the toxic wastes; the mining accidents; the lung disease.”
Unfortunately, the pesky public found this sponsorship a bit egregious and suspected the people at the American Coal Foundation were merely trying to indoctrinate our impressionable youth with pro-corporate propaganda. So, after some outcry, the American Coal Foundation announced it would no longer offer our budding consumers this particular title. Read more about that incident here.
But this example isn’t the only assault Conservatives are waging against the minds of American youth.
The Koch Brother menace is now using their trust fund to corrupt institutes of higher learning in order to mold America to their liking – a nation where the rich run and own everything and everyone else knows their “place.”
The AmericaBlog has put together a detailed accounting of this latest disturbing development in the Oligarch’s assault on the American People.

US Midterms: The Chickens Vote for Colonel Sanders
These are terrible times for the struggling working people of America. Not only has the 30-year Republican Reaganomics class war given us the widest gap between the rich and poor in decades, but has also turned America into the LEAST upwardly mobile of all industrialized nations as Republican propaganda outlets have many fellow citizens convinced that they aren’t “free” unless transnational corporations can ride them to the bank unfettered by “big government.”
It’s amazing. The American People are either so exhausted from either working their 3 “uniquely American” jobs to notice, or too bogged down by their own Fox “News” activated filters of racism, homophobia, misogyny, religious fanaticism and/or fear to realize they are being played by the billionaires who have mercilessly destroying the American Dream.
It’s pretty distressing when you think about the fact that the rest of the civilized world shakes their heads in disbelief when they ponder the many layers of American stupidly – and how it mixes curiously with incredible awesomeness.
George Monbiot wrote in The Guardian, UK, “The US has the world’s best universities and attracts the world’s finest minds. It dominates discoveries in science and medicine. Its wealth and power depend on the application of knowledge. Yet, uniquely among the developed nations (with the possible exception of Australia), learning is a grave political disadvantage.”
The assault on intellectualism, an integral ingredient in economically unbalanced, Corporatist societies, is a prime characteristic for Teabag candidates and followers – lest their intellectual curiosity force them to connect the dots and reveal the actual culprit for their demise – the well-heeled funders of their anti-government “grassroots” movements.
With all the corporate media coverage of this midterm election, the tragedy is not a SINGLE mainstream network media outlet, save MSNBC, fulfilled their duties as the guardians of liberty to report the truth about the unprecedented amount of money ($300 million dollars – $123 Million from anonymous donors – the going cost to buy House Republican Representatives) the US Chamber of Commerce and its big business associates rained down into the Midterms to fund hit pieces aimed at knocking off Democrats around the country.
Of course, the stupid-enough-to-vote-Republican Teabaggers, funded by billionaire Oligarchs like the trust-fund-endowed Koch brothers and Karl Rove’s billionaire-boys-club American Crossroads PAC, are the useful idiots in this class war against the working people.

Obama Capitulates to Fox News Hit List
In the heat of the class war Republicans are actively waging against the working people of this nation, the American People are in desperate need of a bold and unapologetic populist leader in the style of FDR- not a Neville Chamberlain-style appeaser appealing to the enemy for restraint and mercy through constant capitulation.
Yet Barack Obama has done it again. In another vain attempt to get Republicans to work with him like some “Team of Rivals” fantasy, the Administration immediately threw Shirley Sherrod under the bus, rather than defend her against egregious lies and heavily-edited hit piece courtesy of Andrew Breitbart, Glenn Beck and Fox News.

As Expected, Teabaggers 100% WRONG About Boston Tea Party
Tax Day History Lesson From Thom Hartman
REAL History of the Boston tea Party Freedomworks Does not want you to know
It is a testament to the power of Fox News propaganda that in spite of the fact that a New York Times poll that revealed Teabaggers to be generally more educated than the general public, they are also hopelessly lost in a world where facts and reality don’t meet. This, of course, is by design of the economic royalists who turn them into useful idiots aggressively rallying to the “causes” that make the American Dream impossible.
As laughable as it is to liberals, Teabaggers describe President Obama as “very liberal.” They also believe that his policies favor “blacks over whites” – which basically means that the Republicans have been very successful with activating their inherent racism.
By design of Faux News, Teabaggers are also upset about “spending” – an outrage conveniently absent during the time Bush squatted in the White House and turned record surpluses into trillions in debt. Of course, he was just practicing Jude Wanniski’s Two Santa Clause theory… you know… spend and bankrupt government while in power and scream about deficits while out of power… its all in the Republican playbook to bankrupt government so they can privatize everything and turn the “Land of the Free” into “The United States of Serfs and Lords” Read more about that here.

Republican Secret Plan Revealed: Shove More Fear Down America’s Already Choking Throat
Not that it will matter to their mouth-breathing “average” Stockholm-Syndrome suffering base hoping to one day join George W. Bush for a beer, but Politico has obtained a copy of the RNC’s secret plan to offer no real solutions to the nation, but continue to inject a steady diet of fear, lies and division down America’s already choking throat.
The Republican National Committee plans to raise money this election cycle through an aggressive campaign capitalizing on “fear” of President Barack Obama and a promise to “save the country from trending toward socialism.”
The strategy was detailed in a confidential party fundraising presentation, obtained by POLITICO, which also outlines how “ego-driven” wealthy donors can be tapped with offers of access and “tchochkes.”
The presentation was delivered by RNC Finance Director Rob Bickhart to top donors and fundraisers at a party retreat in Boca Grande, Florida on February 18, a source at the gathering said.
Fox Deliberately Lies That Majority Vote in Senate is “Nuclear Option”
With their aim of insuring that Health Insurance Companies, that stand in between the patients and doctors skimming 30% off the top without offering anything of value, can continue to murder over 45,000 Americans each year by denying life-saving medical care based on profit, Fox has been “reporting” outright lies and disingenuously framing their scare tactics in ways to manipulate average Americans into supporting fat insurance CEO bonuses (like the 1.6 BILLION dollar bonus United Healthcare gave CEO Bill McGuire) rather than their hard-working neighbor suddenly inflicted with an unforeseen and catastrophic illness. The most egregious of today’s continual lies is Fox’s deliberate lie that a COMMON Senate procedure, used liberally by George Bush and Republicans to pass numerous tax cuts for the rich and Big Pharma giveaways, is “the Nuclear Option” when they know full well that “the Nuclear Option” refers to the term Republicans used to describe the proposed changes to the Senate rule requiring a three-fifths supermajority to end a filibuster.
Passing something with 51 votes? Oh the horrors of Democracy!
Rudy “September 11th” Giuliani Forgets His Favorite Day
Reality has SUCH a liberal bias… So Republicans lie!
It’s hard to believe that a man who has made the most political hay out of the worst terrorist attack on this nation would forget his special day, but Rudy “Ask Me About September 11th” Giuliani did just that while reminiscing about the Hell that were the Bush years. It seems as if Giuliani has received his orders and eagerly joined fellow Republicans Dana Perino and Mary Matalin in pretending to forget that the September 11th attacks happened while George W. Bush squatted in the White House. Check it out at here:

Obvious Truth No.1: Fox News is Republican Propaganda
Normal people (non-Republicans) continuously ask themselves and anyone who will listen, “What’s it going to take to get brain-dead Fox News viewers to believe the truth – that they are the compliant recipients of a very deliberate propaganda assault by the ruling elite and their Republican co-conspirators that have corrupted our government?”
In a testament to the extremely low intelligence of their viewers, Fox News brazenly operates its protection racket, confident that the outright lies they peddle will never cause their moronic viewers to stop supporting Republicans – the very political party that exists to ensure the impossible “American Dream” remains only a dream as they turn America into a Feudal state.
Recently it was reported that Faux News viewers were more apt to believe outright untruths in regard to the illegal invasion of Iraq and issues facing our country. In the days of Edward R. Morrow or Walter Cronkite, this would have been an utter failing and heads would have rolled in network news departments from the top down, but the executives at Fox still sit enshrined on their thrones, comfortable in the knowledge that their jobs are secure as long as they continue to mislead the loyal scores of village idiots whose boob-tubes sit locked to their channel.
