Any attempt to understand the modern conservative movement will eventually lead to billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch. Using their vast wealth and connections, the Koch brothers are key players in bankrolling right-wing political action groups, think tanks, and individual politicians, using this array of political power to advance their ideological agenda of limited government and less regulation. Chances are they are part of any recent right-wing attack you have seen lately.

Koch-Funded Climate Skeptic’s Own Data Confirms Warming

This week, a climate hearing was held in the US House of Reps. Six 'experts' on climate were brought in, but only three were scientists. And it turns out that one of the GOP's star witnesses -- a scientist who's been vocal in his skepticism of global temperature records, the physicist Richard Muller, of University of California, Berkeley, didn't quite help them disprove climate change. Quite the opposite, in fact.

The Koch Brothers Are Getting Nervous

Charles and David Koch seem less confident these days. The brothers - who inherited money from their dad and grew it into America's largest collection of dirty industries - have decided they need to fight back. That's not surprising. Since Koch-sponsored secret meetings were revealed, secret planning with Supreme Court Justices was exposed, and secret funding of right wing groups became apparent, Americans have begun to wonder just how much influence these guys have purchased.

How the Billionaire Kochs Screwed My Scoop While Screwing America

Thanks to the efforts of McArdle and other media Koch whores with conflicts-of-interest, our article-the first to out the Kochs role in the Tea Party- was discredited enough to delay this story reaching a wide audience for a year and a half, at least. Playboy, for reasons never explained, took our story down, though they didn t disown the reporting. Meanwhile, a year later, they published a story, anonymously penned by a reputed Washington DC PR operative, headlined, 'Confessions of a Tea Party Consultant.' If you re wondering what oligarchical corruption looks like as manifested in the print media, there you have it.

He joins an illustrious group of celebs now tainted by Epstein's practice of hiring of underaged girls to massage and service him.

The Further Death of ‘Liberaltarianism’

I like to point out here that the Kochs spend about a tenth as much annually on political/intellectual causes as does left-wing billionaire George Soros which doesn t stop shameless Soros grantees from suggesting that the Kochs are somehow doing something evil by using their money to support causes they believe in.

Koch Cash, Exploration Rules and Where We Work

This much we know: Koch Industries, the massive private holding company the brothers own, lobbies the federal government on a number of different topics, from energy issues to consumer safety matters. The company doesn't much involve itself directly in health industry concerns, according to its lobbying records, although an argument could be made that many of the issues in which it does involve itself affect people's health.

More On Koch-Style Libertarianism

Conservatives and libertarians are very defensive about Koch funding, but this is the sort of thing that grounds liberal suspicion. Bailey, the author of "Global Warming and Other Eco Myths: How the Environmental Movement Uses False Science To Scare us To Death," is a former journalism fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute.

John Boehner (R-OH) was sworn in as the Speaker of the House for the 112th Congress, ThinkProgress witnessed a group of Koch Industries lobbyists entering the Capitol along with members of Congress and their families.
