> The archive of the man who had sought to stay under the radar had been left totally unsorted and unguarded. The historian plunged in, and she read through boxes and drawers full of papers that included personal correspondence between Buchanan and billionaire industrialist Charles Koch. That’s when she had an amazing realization: here was the intellectual linchpin of a stealth revolution currently in progress.

I have to point out that the #TeaParty was a successful #astroturf operation by the #KochBrothers and fake #grassroots organizations that leveraged racism and some dissatisfaction with the #Republican Party into a juggernaut of primary challenges.
@adamkinzinger.bsky.social rode in on that.

We talk a lot about the main characters (Drümpf, Muskrat, Couch Fucker), but two that don’t get much attention are the Koch brothers. They are the bankers behind so much of this shit.
From here on out,I suggest we only refer to them as the Cock brothers.

Im Zusammenhang mit den global zunehmenden #Extremwetterereignissen ist interessant, dass die Lobbyausgaben des US-Branchenverbands #AFPM in 2024 den Höchsten Stand aller Zeiten erreichten:

Well then, according to someone named "voklris", apparently the fact that #ClarenceThomas is chummy with #KochBrothers and #Blackwater's #ErikPrince brother of #BetsyDevos), and that #JusticeKennedy made a deal with Trump is a conspiracy theory. Time to rehash some of my posts on the subject.

Sowas kann man bei den #kochbrothers sogar einkaufen...
got my annual letter from the corporate billionaire funded #freedomFoundation that looks like a fake check and encourages union members to stop paying dues.
Very pathetic boot licking.
Low energy!

Oil and gas lobbying reaches $72 million in first half of 2024
By Molly Taylor
August 15, 2024
"The American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufacturers led the oil and gas industry in federal lobbying expenditures in the first half of 2024, marking the first time the trade association outspent the top individual companies in the industry.
"The trade association, which represents 450 fuel refining and petrochemical companies, leads the oil and gas industry with $8.1 million in federal lobbying expenditures over the first half of 2024. This level of spending marks a shift in influence, as individual oil and gas companies have typically outspent the trade association by millions of dollars.
"The oil and gas industry altogether spent $72 million on federal lobbying in the first six months of 2024 as the #EPA introduced some of its strongest-ever regulations to reduce #FossilFuel emissions. The industry is on track to exceed last year’s expenditures, which totaled $137 million after adjustment for inflation, and is the fifth-highest lobbying industry of the year.
"The American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufacturers emerged as the top spender after doubling its federal lobbying expenditures from 2022. Between 2016 and 2022, the trade organization spent, on average, $3.4 million annually without adjusting for inflation. In 2023, spending jumped to $6.9 million in 2023.
"In the first six months of 2024, the American Fuel and #Petrochemical
Manufacturers has already spent more on federal lobbying than any prior year."

A bit tangential, but I highly recommend this #book...
"Burning Down the House: How Libertarian Philosophy Was Corrupted by Delusion and Greed" by Andrew Koppelman
I found this book very helpful to understand a) what #capitalism is, b) why (in a well-managed form) it is probably the best economic system we're going to get, c) how conservatives have perverted and shaped it, and d) how to push back.

Wissing ist Überzeugungstäter kein lobbyhöriger Politclown. Der scheißt auf Klimawandel, Gesundheit und lebenswerte Städte/Dörfer.
Wissing ist selbst Lobbyist aber schon in Funktion.
