decision guide re: the koch brothers and their blood money

Post Reply New Topic

Koch Brothers' history of blood money-
Their father built oil refineries for Josef Stalin in the 1920's and 1930's. This is the origin of their family fortune. In 1939, Josef Stalin entered into a trade agreement with Adolf Hitler, to send oil and gasoline to Hitler until they were attacked by Germany in 1941. Adolf Hitler used the gasoline and diesel to take out Poland in 1939 and Western Europe in 1940 and then proceeded to try to bomb the English into submission. Call it what you want but it sounds to me like the money they inherited was blood money.

Ah yes, the Kochtopus. Kind of ironic that their fortune came from statists.

i would not be caught dead buying any of the products on that list, even if i could afford them.

Handy list. Thanks.

doing my part to let us WPers know what side their bread is buttered on.
