<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">By this time, the petrochemical
industry had perfected its 4 dog defense. It worked so well in these
toxic legacy cases that they are still using it with predictable
regularity in spill events. It works like this:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">4 DOG DEFENSE</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></div>
<ol style="text-align: justify;">
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">My Dog Does Not Bite.</span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">My Dog Bites, But It Didn't Bite
You.
</span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">My Dog Bit You. But It Didn't Hurt
You.
</span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">My Dog Bit You And Hurt You, But
It Wasn't My Fault</span></div>
</li>
</ol>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Here is the counter strategy to the 4
dog defense. If all victims and their lawyers used this approach then
the companies would have to change their behavior and policies while
dealing with the real issues.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">1. Know the breed of dog - learn all of
the unique toxic characteristics and potential risks. Determine ways
to fingerprint the toxic substance such as the wavelengths of
fluorescence of the crude oil. Know the statistics about how often
it has caused harm. </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">2. Prove you were bitten - Prepare your
health history and be prepared to show your "before and after"
condition with pictures, if possible. Determine the exact nature of
exposure and use techniques to date the time of exposure even if you
have to dig up the waste pits and measure the radiation levels from
nuclear tests to nail down the time frame. </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">3. Proof of harm. Go to the doctor
immediately. Prepare your acute and chronic symptoms. Determine
your level of maximum exposure. Compare your symptoms with those in
this country and globally. </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">4. Risk / reward - Show the chances of
being injured. Compare damage with costs to avoid similar injury.
Prepare lists of all previous fines and violations for problems of a
similar nature. </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">While Big Oil is watching you waste all
your time and money in the usual ways, they always attack the
messenger. This means that before addressing the arguments, they
attack the credibility of witnesses (regardless of qualifications) to
introduce doubt. They know time is on their side and you will soon
run out of money.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The most important lessons are do not
be afraid, prepare a defense for every offensive tactic, and always
claim the moral high ground. Do not break the law to make your point
because then you will be viewed as just another criminal in a
never-ending parade of criminals. </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Now that we have seen how the
petrochemical industry valued human life and how they responded to
the risk of cancer following years of toxic exposure, let’s look at
how Big Oil developed their ideas on short term exposure to massive
pollution events and what could have been done to counter their
defense.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Really, Bill and Warren are very open
about sharing their values. They invest money and want the largest
possible return on investment possible. To ensure this happens they
naturally follow the carefully honed protocols pioneered by Big Oil
Guys like Charles and David Koch. </span>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">The First Commandment is: Evade the
consequences of your actions which would cost you money. Number One
probably has a special section in The Koch Method, which is used to
train their employees. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Bill and Warren love investing
together, in this case Gates owning the Northern End of the transport
system used for moving around highly volatile raw materials, for
instance Tar Sands and Bakken. Warren owns the largest share of the
Southern End. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"> </span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">How nice they can share. Nicer if
they invested in something less likely to incinerate large numbers of
people and destroy the usefulness of their property. And if you think giving attorney's lots of work improves the matter, think again. </span>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Bill Gates is

handsomely, with a stock-price gain of nearly 900% on the investment.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><i>Introducing the Greedville Players, starting with Warren Buffett. We will be your tour guides to who
they are, what drives them, and how to fight back. </i></span>
<br />
<div style="font-style: normal;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Number One - Warren Buffett </span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The
warm and friendly face most people saw was an illusion assumed long
ago. “<i>They need to trust you, even love you,” </i>his
employers had told him. “<i>Make them laugh.” </i></span></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Making
us chuckle disarms us. Warren worked on developing those one liners
which bring smiles and inspire, deepening our trust. </span></span></span>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Warren
Buffett had early learned to become whoever he needed to be. Disguise
is part what he always thought of as, 'The Game.' </span></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">He
learned about selling stock by hanging out at his father's stock
brokerage. Chalking in prices on their blackboard, he studied how
money was made. At age 11 he bought his first shares. </span></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">When
he delivered papers in Omaha, Nebraska as a kid his customers loved
him. “<i>What a prodigy,”</i> they told each other. He also wrote
and sold a tip sheet for horse racing. </span></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">When
his father was elected to Congress he and a friend bought a used
pinball machine for $25, installing it in a barbershop. More pinball
machines followed. </span></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Making
money fascinated him. Getting people to like and trust him was part
of the Game. Opportunities were there, most available if he was
trusted and liked. </span></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Hired
by the Rothschilds straight out of college in Pennsylvania he
understood the stakes, and exactly what he could gain in the biggest
game the world would ever see. He succeeded, didn't he? </span></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The
story of Warren Buffett and his connections control of our world
today. Understanding their Game takes you past illusions into the
reality they are living out at our expense. </span></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Now
84, Warren is still playing The Game. He sees tank cars as pinball
machines in the Game that is his life. If people mattered to him
Buffett would insist on safety. His actions are what you should
believe. Buffett knows exactly what he is doing.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">When a kid
has an 'accident' at age two, we all understand. But if he is still
doing the same thing when he is 72 we know it is time to strap on the
Depends. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">A small
child is not expected to be responsible. The elderly </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">generally</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"> have learned enough through living to handle these things
themselves. But what do you do with the .01% who just don't 'get' it?
</span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">At least the materials generally consigned to diapers and Depends are
easily bio-degradable.Though when even using these for clean up burnishes their bottom line, as is the case with Charles Koch, you have to wonder how accidental it all is. </span>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"> The material which issues from the pipes on which Charles Koch depends for his raw material includes "oil, Saltwater, Brine, and Other," which means it is even scarier to think about. </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">This isn't that nice clean saltwater you play in at the beach. In this context what they are calling 'Saltwater' is actually Produced Water, a byproduct of fracking. </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">The salt in this is the least of it. </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Think really, really nasty, making the contents in Charles Koch's personal Depends look like flowers in May. </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">And if using paper goods to cope with Tar Sands Spills sounds absurd remember the rolls of paper towels unfurled in Mayflower, Arkansas last year. As implied earlier, Charles and David Koch produced those paper towels, optimizing their return on investment, so to speak. </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">We, the public, generally think in terms of small spills, ones which could be contained in a family swimming pool. But cast your eyes down to the size of the five largest spills just in North Dakota. All but one of these took place within the last year.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"> In addition, heavy physical work impacts younger men, wearing out their bodies faster. The same is true for pipe lines. But this is a fact ExxonMobil wanted to ignore. </span>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Originally,
the Pegasus line delivered light, conventional crude oil from Nederland,
Texas, to the Patoka Oil Terminal Hub in Patoka, Ill. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Today it
belongs to ExxonMobil. The 858-mile, 20-inch steel pipeline had a
capacity of up to 95,000 barrels per day when it was completed in
1948. Aging has weakened its seams, causes leaks and makes Depends Moments, such as happened in Mayflower, inevitable. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Pegasus was
aging in 2006 and should have been replaced with a pipe line made out of the best possible material, for instance Ultrahigh Performance Concrete. But that would have cost billions. Instead, the
company reversed the pipeline's flow, the first such reversal of an
existing petroleum pipeline so it could be used to move the far
heavier Canadian petroleum products to Gulf Coast refineries.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">It was like Exxon was saying to the Pegasus, <i>"don't worry about a thing. We'll cover for you and change your Depends as often as necessary." </i> </span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Imagine the

<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="background: transparent;">The
shoreline of Lake Maumelle is, on average, much steeper than the
shoreline of Lake Conway, meaning that if a pipeline break or rupture
occurred in the Maumelle watershed, the spill would probably find its
way to the water very quickly and begin to impact all downstream water. The gases, Hydrogen Sulfide, Benzene, and Toluene, emitted at the point of the spill would wreak chaos to the living things they contact. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Have they done to keep this from taking place? No. </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Asked whether the company would
consider moving the pipeline out of the Lake Maumelle watershed Exxon
spokesman Charles Engelmann said, <i>"If there is absolutely any
indication that there is a concern for that segment of the pipeline,
then we'll take whatever measures it takes to keep it safe. At this
stage, there's no indication that segment is a concern." </i><br /><br />Say
again? Charles made the statement with a straight face. <br /><br />ExxonMobil
showed no concern when Mayflower was ravaged last year. Following the Koch Method they sent in PR
teams who were trained to reassure residents and tell them the smell could not hurt them. This was, doubtless, how they had been briefed. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Lying to impacted residents, about who should evacuate, and denying them medical intervention while with holding the ugly facts lowered the number of people who they would meet in court. They stalled. If you stall long enough many of these people will be removed by death. <br /><br />This is a Koch Method for
lowering their costs and raising their profits. <br /><br />And, today, as the Pegasus is reopened, Exxon says
they have not yet determined why the Pegasus pipeline burst in
Mayflower – but they are reopening. Objective experts say the cause was the dilbit in the lines. <br /><br />The Mayflower Spill
took place where there was immediate access to the Spill. Of course,
it still took them time to reach the site and start clean-up, but it
was much faster that the following hypothetical scenario. <br /><br />What
happens when the spill occurs at the point above, where: </span></div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The
Pegasus runs through miles of rugged, steep terrain without road
access. At least half a dozen robust creeks drain that area, carving
a direct path to the lake below. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">There's only one
shut-off valve for the Pegasus in the 88,000-acre watershed. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">This
one valve is located at the western end of Lake Maumelle and would
require at least one Exxon representative to drive to the site to
manually close it. </span></li>
</ul>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />Answer: At least two hours would pass from
the time a rupture was detected to the time the valve was closed. By
then about 1.2 million gallons of oil could escape into the
watershed. <br /><br />How much Hydrogen Sulfide and Benzene would be
released if this occurred at this point? </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Big Oil had worked hard and doubtless paid a lot of money to ensure the Pegasus Pipe Line is reopened. Is it safe? </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">There are
many reasons why it is insane to accept the self-evaluation of Big
Oil, and especially Charles and David Koch, on whether or not the
Pegasus Pipe Line can be safely operated. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">First,
there is the issue of honesty. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Why would
anyone believe the Kochs or their close associates when the Koch
Method, the strategies which brought them all this success, include
ensuring their employees lie, cheat and steal? </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Horrifying
and incredible as this sounds there is plenty of evidence to back it
up. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-style: normal;">An
article in Bloomberg, titled, </span></span><a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-10-02/koch-brothers-flout-law-getting-richer-with-secret-iran-sales.html"><span style="color: navy;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span lang="zxx"><i><u>Koch

</i></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-style: normal;">written
by By Asjylyn Loder and David Evans, appearing October 3, 2011,
included several instances which illustrate the enormous divide
between what Charles, David, and other representatives of Koch say,
versus how they operate within Koch Industries. </span></span></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-style: normal;">The
article provided a statement from Phil Dubose, a Koch employee.
Dubose, who testified against the company, saying he and his
colleagues were shown by their managers</span></span> “<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><i>how
to steal and cheat -- using techniques they called the Koch Method. “</i></span></span></div>

</div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">The
Pegasus is over 60 years old. Both the materials of which pipe lines
and people are made are subject to aging.You know, the joints start to give out along with the colon and bladder. Things just start falling apart and leaking. </span></span>
</div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">I'm
going to give you a visual on this so you will see the point. Visuals are really good things because we get the point so much faster. </span></span></div>

<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Here is the Pegasus Pipe Line when it was first build. Shiny and new, its seams and joints would, hopefully, withstand the pressure for which it was designed, just like the image below despite the daunting example of the Keystone Pipe Line which has already experienced leaks.</span></span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">There is no point denying it, now is there?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">The Pegasus Pipe Line is not only past the age to receive Social Security, it has been forced to carry twice the pressure for which it was designed. So it is hardly fair to expect there not to be....well, incidents. The Pegasus might even need Depends to ensure a reasonable amount of security. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Now, we will get into the kind of incident, very much like Mayflower, Arkansas, we can expect. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Assume a spill about the size of the one which occurred in Mayflower, Arkansas taking place under the upscale subdivision of Pinewood Estates near Beaumont, Texas. These homes were not built when the Pegasus went in over 60 years ago. But they are there now, built right over the pipe line because Exxon does not want anyone to know where it is. Security, you know.</span><br />

also happens to sit on a large salt dome which makes the whole region

produced for operations and freshwater extracted for drinking. This
was clearly not an ideal location for the Pegasus pipeline even 60

shown above on the index map, Pinewood Estates was a designated
census place in the 2010 census with a population of nearly 1700
people. Virtually none of these homes were built when the Pegasus
went in over 60 years ago. Most were not even there in 2005
(see Google Earth image below).</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Since
1989, Exxon and the Koch Brothers knew a housing development was
growing over the Pegasus. As experts in their own industry they
knew the hazards associated with exposure to Hydrogen Sulfide,
Toluene, and Benzene. But they said nothing to the families who
believed they were safe in the homes for which they had paid good
money. </span></span>

<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">No
one in the industry had forgotten about the pipe line or its age.
Certainly, Charles Koch understands the impact of age on the human
body and as an engineer, a graduate of M.I.T., he had to understand
the impact of aging on pipes. As older pipelines are more likely
to fail it is appropriate that we model the consequences of
catastrophic failure in this area.<br /><br />ALOHA is the system freely
available which provides essential information in just minutes on how
far the toxic chemicals from a spill will spread, as seen
below.<br /><br />As you look over these three images you can
see why this information should be available to local HazMat Units
and those living within the hazard zone. Tough to do when
the location of pipes is less important than the 'security' of Big
Oil. </span></span>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;">The
following series of maps show the extent of air pollution plumes in
the first hour after a hypothetical pipeline break after reopening
the Pegasus South leg. In addition, the calculated threat zone
distances and Acute Exposure Guideline Levels (AEGLs) for each
substance are shown from the Aloha Emergency Planning models. The
threat zones are shown for the toxic gasses hydrogen sulfide, benzene
and toluene which were modeled based on a Mayflower-sized spill of
roughly 200,000 gallons of Wabasca Heavy Tar Sands Oil. This seems
like a reasonable estimate given that the 20” Pegasus Pipeline is
capable of transporting more than 3.75 million barrels of Tar Sands
per day.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">Cushing Oklahoma is known as the
“Pipeline Crossroads of the World” with the largest known tank
farm anywhere. First, because the KXL pipeline already runs through
it as shown by the purple line in the Google Earth image above.
Second, because over 25 major pipelines intersect at this point and
are shipping in or out oils and other fuels with a constant threat of
fire of explosion. <span style="color: black;"> </span><span style="color: black;">More
than 70 percent of the petroleum that’s shipped in the United
States flows through the pipes that intersect here. </span>This
is best seen in the Bloomberg Illustration below which shows the
pipelines and volumes at the Cushing oil hub. </span></div>

<div style="line-height: 0.22in; margin-bottom: 0.16in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">This
is not a good situation to be in under the best of circumstances. For such a strategic and vital industrial complex which handles
roughly 10% of the U.S. Crude Oil Inventory, it is unacceptable. If
we can have forward military bases in Iraq and Afghanistan, is it too
much to ask to have National Guard troops as ready and prepared to
protect our strategic assets and adjacent neighborhoods as we were to
defend Iraqi oil fields and the gold in Fort Knox. Do we even know if
there is enough respiratory equipment available for those who might
not be able to immediately evacuate a large area?</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 0.22in; margin-bottom: 0.16in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">Of course, Cushing itself won't need to worry about breathing for very long. </span></div>

<div style="line-height: 0.22in; margin-bottom: 0.16in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">The
only possible solution is to plan for the worst case scenarios with
realistic emergency response models now and begin mobilizing those
resources in advance. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: 0.22in; margin-bottom: 0.16in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">Worst case scenarios must include the usual
terrorist soft target and fire scenarios, as well as tornado and
earthquake threats, but now must also involve total pipeline and tank
failures and explosions. As we have learned since 2010, pipeline
failures involving Tar Sands can be difficult to detect in time and
can be devastating to surrounding communities since the condensate
and diluent spread first. Too often evacuations come too late or are
not extensive enough. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: 0.22in; margin-bottom: 0.16in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">Only by involving local community leaders in
disaster planning and informing the residents about the real risks
and emergency steps to be taken can we hope to minimize health and
safety impacts.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 0.22in; margin-bottom: 0.16in; text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Two
Toxic Events - Why Lying Pays for Big Oil </span></span>
</div>
<div align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">In
the first hour after a Toxic Event begins a torrent of toxins and
poisons rush out of the broken pipe, dispersing into the local area.
This conforms to a pattern which can be calculated. </span></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Benzene,
</span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Toluene and
Hydrogen Sulfide share these attributes, as we demonstrated in No. 7
– Friday Night Special, last week. These highly volatile and toxic
chemicals impact both air and water and all living things they
contact. This happens </span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>immediately</b></span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
both through breathing in Benzene and through contact with water,
which has also been exposed. </span></span></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">In
No. 8 we are focusing on how fast and widely Benzene is dispersed to show
you what needs to happen to change the behavior of Big Oil. </span></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Continuing
to breathe Benzene, for which we present profiles for two incidents, using the higher amounts from the Kalamazoo Toxic Event to what took place in Mayflower, Arkansas you can see why knowing what left those pipes, and how much, matters. The information must be available not years later, but within minutes. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">In a very short space of time breathing Benzene or the other toxic chemicals used by Big Oil can have permanent impact on people, leaving them with a heightened
vulnerability to later exposure. </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">But since this is carefully not
documented by the companies responsible this provides a useful exit
from accountability for them. We are going to show you how to close the exit. </span></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Clear
and reliable models for what will take place have been available for
a long time. Enforcing the use of these in real time is part of the solution. </span></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">We
produced the models below using open source software freely available
through <a href="http://response.restoration.noaa.gov/oil-and-chemical-spills">The Office of Response and Restoration. </a></span></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Again,
why is this this not being used and the information made immediately
available to people at risk along the multitude of pipelines now in
place across America? </span></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Because
folks like the Kochs know this would nail them big time.
Accountability would cut into their profits. So, let's not hear any
more talk about how well free markets work when those doing business
can externalize their costs, forcing the consequences of their
irresponsibility on others using asinine justifications of the 'public good.' </span></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">This
Libertarian says,<i> “Hold the Kochs responsible instead of allowing
them to evade disclosure by using honorable rhetoric as cover for criminally irresponsible
behavior." </i></span></span><br />

</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">We
produced the simulation below, using the amount of the spill and what
would have taken place if it had occurred in Mayflower, Arkansas to
demonstrate what is possible. After you see this we'll tell you what
needs to be done to stop the Big Oil in its tracks and make them
accountable. </span></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The
two existing programs, <a href="http://response.restoration.noaa.gov/adios">ADIOS</a>,
(Automated Data Inquiry for Oil Spills), which provides models for
how types of oil weather. This means how they undergo physical and
chemical changes, in the marine environment. <a href="http://response.restoration.noaa.gov/search/node/aloha">ALOHA</a>,
which you heard about in No. 7, exist. Used together we
calculated<span style="color: black;"><span style="text-decoration: none;"> the distance and size of the threat zones for Benzene in the
Kalamazoo Spill-size scenario.</span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">This
chart shows that the level of Benzene in the air after the Kalamazoo
River spill begins at about 6 ppm, (parts per million). As you can see, most of the
impact is felt in the first hour. We used ADIOS2 for calculating air
dispersion and weathering of the type of Tar Sands spilled, Cold Lake
Blend, during that critical period. </span></span>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0.07in; margin-top: 0.07in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Working from a database of
more than a thousand different crude oils and refined products, ADIOS
quickly estimates the expected characteristics and behavior of
spilled oil. It was designed for just this use. </span></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">Using
the ADIOS model together with the previously described ALOHA model
the extent and size of the threat zones for Benzene in the Kalamazoo
Spill-sized scenario are clear. </span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">These programs make models available fast enough to be used in real time, providing alerts to the areas which are being impacted. </span></span></span></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">As
the graph below shows, the Benzene threat zone extends for more than
1.5 miles where the initial Benzene concentration in the air could be
greater than 50 parts per million in the first hour.</span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">What action do we, the people, take now?</span></span><br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Spills within these ranges are growing in frequency.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Big Oil has made it clear they take a psychopathic approach to the trauma and damage done to individuals. They just do not care, not one bit.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Their failure to factor these potential liabilities for doing business for any company, producing anything, </span>become Standard Operating Procedure. </span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">When it is clear you can only expect irresponsible behavior, you accept this as a fact and legislate accordingly. The problem must be solved. There must be accountability. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Last week
we shared with you the facts about what chemicals gushed into the
pristine air of Mayflower, Arkansas on March 29, 2013. This was one
of the things you were not supposed to find out. </span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Remember
what we told you about Benzene, which is highly carcinogenic,
Toluene, a neurotoxin, and Hydrogen Sulfide, which is a potent
poison, being the chemicals of choice used to force the Tar Sands
through those pipes? </span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Now you
know exposure to these for any length of time causes the victim to
become sensitized to any and all future exposure. Smelling it AT ALL
is too close. </span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">

</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">And knowing
full well what kind of chemicals were in those pipes Rex Tillerson
and men like the Kochs withhold this information because What We
Don't Know Can't Hurt Them! It only hurts us. </span></div>

<br />
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">We've been
studying the Exxon Spill of Mayflower for months now and have
compiled 10,000 documents which tell the story below. Here are the
facts: </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">The
critical period for <i>maximum </i>exposure during the Exxon Spill,
March 31, 2013 in Mayflower, Arkansas was short. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">However,
maximum exposure is not necessary for the effects to be life
altering, causing permanent damage to people, especially children,
which will not be visible for years. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Exxon
refused to turn over information, stalling during the time the impact
of those impacted should have begun treatment. This is their standard
strategy, learned from the Koch Brothers to maximize their profits by
minimizing their costs. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">We have
the composition of what came out of the broken pipe, and we have used it, beginning with the material below. </span></div>

<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">The damage
was being done to everyone before any warning took place. People
reported they were not told to leave the area. </span>

Spill = 210,000 gals of dilbit, a highly toxic substance itself, only

Truths and Green Fields Renewal will now reveal the actual content of
the ugly substance which bubbled out of the broken pipe in Mayflower
a little over a year ago. Notice, this information has been carefully
sequestered by ExxonMobil. <br /><br />Believe us, they have their
reasons for this. <br /><br />This sample of Wabasca Heavy was taken at
the Suspected Source, (the pump station about 20 miles upstream from
the Pegasus pipeline rupture). From there, it was sent by the USCG
for analysis in Canada in June 2013, a few months after the Mayflower

<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Gas Chromatogram of Mayflower Suspected Source - </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">These are the fingerprints, what ExxonMobil has
worked so hard to hide from the public and their victims. <br /><br />Source: EPA/
ESTS <br /><br />Above we see a hybrid Dilbit mixture, with virtually
identical distribution of heavy hydrocarbon molecules (on the right)
as we saw in the Wabasca Heavy sample in Part 1. <br /><br />But this
Secret Sauce has special additions. These new additions include the
toxic BTEXs like benzene, a virulent carcinogen, and toluene, a
neurotoxin. <br /><br />And the concentration levels were very, very high
in the Secret Sauce. <br /><br /><br />Would having know about this
made a difference in treating the victims? Absolutely. <br /><br />But
then the evidence would also have been presented in court, an eventuality to be avoided at all costs, especially if those costs can be externalized to small children and other victims. </span>

<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">This has certainly been a week for
Koch News. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">First, Congressman Tim Griffin cooperatively goes along
with the fiction the Mayflower toxic spill is a thing of the past by
suggesting the 20 houses, which last year were inundated in Tar Sands
Crude, would make perfect housing for tornado victims. This makes it
look like official sources agree living in the homes is just perfectly fine. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"> That hum you hear is Exxon attorneys typing and gloating. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"> </span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Is Congressman Tim Griffin really that
dumb or was he paid off? Time to closely monitor his campaign
donations. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"> </span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">One victim of last year's disaster,
still struggling with her health commented that on hearing about housing
tornado victims in Northwoods her heart dropped and she felt nauseated. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Her own home was not
in Northwoods, where the 20 homes grudgingly purchased by Exxon was
located, but it was still so badly impacted she still cannot live
there, or even visit it without risking the traumatic reaction which
has destroyed any normality in her life. Today she is also terrified
to speak out for fear of what will come next. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"> </span>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">But we can certainly imagine that Rex
Tillerson, CEO of Exxon is delighted at the idea he will be getting
rent money from FEMA for homes which otherwise would never again be
occupied. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"> </span>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"> </span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">It would really be a better idea if
Griffin and Tillerson and others who caused the problem of the
original spill moved to Northwood. There are, remember 20 houses
there sitting vacant and ready for oil executives to move in. They can find a golf course and spend quality time knocking a small ball around, better for their karmic than knocking small people around - until their health starts to deteriorate.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Isn't this a refreshing thought? Those responsible for the losses and suffering caused in Mayflower loaning their up-scale homes to the current victims. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"> </span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Tillerson could have two houses all to
himself. </span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">And then there was the exciting
possibility of the debate on climate change proposed by Billionaire
Tom Steyer. Steyer asked David Koch to debate him on the subject.
The Kochs responded they are not experts. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"> What? Not experts? How can that be - they hire so many Think-Tankers who just how to produce what you want to hear. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Heck, they could have used one of those handy little mics George Bush
liked so much during the debates.Then Ed Crane and some of his Flunkies, Lick-spittles and Toadies could come out of
'retirement' to murmur suggestions so David wouldn't have to know
anything. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">If David Koch is concerned about meeting scary fellow billionaire Tom Steyer perhaps he would like to debate meek and mild David Lincoln for a debate on the subject, this summer. An event is now in the planning stages. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"> </span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Given how much money they spend
talking about the facts and open debate and demanding a debate start, they should at least line up Ed Crane and his sundry experts, get
the Mic, and <i>simulate </i>delight. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"> </span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">But saying you want something is
different than getting it. David Koch was really energized by the
possibility of facing Steyer, as you can see below. </span>

</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">The 12,000
were subpoenaed and copies were delivered to the U.S. Attorney
General's Office, and the State of Arkansas Attorney General's Office
about a month after the spill. No one has mentioned them since. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">What was
received? No one knows. Could it have been 1916 phone books?
David Koch's Little Black Book? Rex Tillerson's dirty laundry? No
one knows what was handed over because the Attorney Generals have not
even published the titles of the documents. Why is that? </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Not having
the titles of the documents makes it really tough to request them. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">But we have
10,000 documents which were processed through a procedure which we
call – The Koch Game. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">These are documents found
in places entirely unrelated to the apparent subject matter. We found them in individual company reports to investors and shareholders, in
data about sales and assets, in legal proceedings from other spills. </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">They appear to have been 'misfiled,' if you know what we mean. As
we have gone through these we are turning the juiciest into cartoons.
End of Koch Shell Game.</span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><b> </b></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">The Tar
Sands Crudes are the raw material which are processed to make the
products used in your car as gasoline and in so very many other ways.
Because we are running out of relatively clean crude oil supplies
today Big Oil has turned to Tar Sands Crudes as raw material. </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">But while oil companies have always externalized their costs, forcing ordinary people to pay for their spills and toxic accidents, the Crudes exact costs which make the earlier raw material look like a rose-scented bubble-bath. </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">These are Tar Sands Crudes, the raunchiest, dirtiest substances imaginable. </span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Just to<b> </b>get Tar Sands Crude to move through the pipes means diluting it because it has the consistency of something between tar and molasses. The diluent is not healthy for living things and some of them cause cancer or are neurotoxins. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">These things are ugly, nasty things which smell to high heaven and certainly deserve the name, 'crude.' </span></div>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">To make this more
understandable we have given these Tar Sands Crudes names to inject a little
personality and provide personas which give you a sense of what they
are about. </span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The myth of the kind-hearted,
philanthropic Pew family was created by the Sun Oil Co and carefully
nurtured and managed by the Pew public relations machine. This
fairytale has been repeated hundreds of times, but it has never been
carefully scrutinized and dissected until now. This is, in part,
because most sources of hard information were archived by the Pew
heirs and their hired representatives. Nevertheless, a close
examination of the published Pew family chronology (when put in the
context of the turbulent times they lived in) reveals a much darker
story.
</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This myth begins with the story of a
poor farm boy who through hard work and good fortune manages to
strike it rich in the late 1880’s. Then, out of the goodness of
their heart, the Pew descendants create a charitable organization
which benefits society and the less fortunate.

</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In fact, the only thing fortuitous
about the Pew history is that the original patriarch, Joseph Newton
Pew, was actually born into the middle of the early Pennsylvania
giant oil fields at precisely the right time to take full advantage
of the birth of the petroleum industry. At the time, this area of NW
Pennsylvania was credited with the creation of more millionaires than
anywhere else on earth and Newton Pew had no intention of being left
out!</span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">He was indeed the son of a farmer and
happened to be the youngest of ten children. He did attend school in
Mercer, in NW Pennsylvania, and graduated when he was 18 yrs old.
Newton Pew, as he was called then, taught school for 2 years and <span style="color: #333333;">then
began work in the real estate business in Mercer. He moved to
Titusville as a real estate broker and insurance salesman to be near
where the oil was discovered and soon began selling and trading oil
properties. </span></span>

</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In 1874, J.N. Pew <span style="color: #333333;">married
Mary Catherine Anderson, the daughter of George K Anderson, a
prominent Titusville banker who owned oil properties in the area. </span></span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.19in; margin-top: 0.19in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">George K
Anderson, the father of the bride, served as a Republican State
Senator in Pennsylvania from 1874 to 1876, a fact conveniently left
out of the Pew mythology. At the time of his daughter’s marriage to
J.N. Pew, George Anderson was already a prominent oil producer at Oil
Creek near the site of the first US oil discovery made in 1859 in
Titusville PA. However, by the end of 1875, Anderson was insolvent
[NYT 10/30/1875]. He had invested all of his fortune in speculative
oil properties and shaky bank deals. Given that his son-in law, J.N.
Pew, was an oil broker in Titusville at that time, we can only
imagine whose advice he was taking and why Anderson was unable to
steer clear of these bad, high-risk investments. Yet, it is clear
from his obituary and his financial circumstances, that he was
swindled out of most of his money. (The Wellsboro Agitator- August
12, 1891.)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="OLE_LINK4"></a>
<span style="color: black;">In 1876, when J. N. Pew, was 28, he too lost
money on speculative investments in the Titusville oil exchange. He
later partnered with another banker and successful oil producer from
nearby Bradford, Edward Octavius Emerson, a cousin of Ralph Waldo
Emerson. Their plan was to pipe and sell natural gas to Bradford
which just happened to be the location for the first giant oil field
in the U.S.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.19in; margin-top: 0.19in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #333333;">Ironically,
in 1878, E. O Emerson </span>bought the large home of George
Anderson, J. N. Pews Father-in Law. He purchased the home in
Titusville when it became available at a Sheriff’s bankruptcy
auction and his family lived there for the rest of his life.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.19in; margin-top: 0.19in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">That same year,
a gas well blew out and caught fire at Murraysville, Pennsylvania not
far from Titusville. The flames from the so-called “Haymaker well”
could be seen from nearly 10 miles away and the roar of the escaping
gas was said to be deafening. It took years to bring it under control
and during that time the well operations required capital, but there
was no revenue generated from the well while it was on fire.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Two years later, Pew and E. O. Emerson,
constructed a gas pipe line to Olean, N.Y. and formed the Keystone
Gas Co. Now, all they needed was more gas. While the Haymaker well
was burning, it had little value and was sold to Chicago investors
for about $20,000. Once the well was finally extinguished in 1883,
the Haymaker brothers sold the same well to <span lang="en">Joseph N.
Pew </span>and <span lang="en">E.O. Emerson</span> and the brothers
attempted to return the deposit made by the Chicago investment group.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Chicago investors never recognized
the sale to Pew and according to one historian (McElwee 2007) in a
scene reminiscent of the 2007 movie “There Will Be Blood”:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span lang="en">The
Chicago group sent fifty men armed with rifles and bayonets to
Murraysville to seize the Haymaker well. The Haymaker brothers and
ten other local men [no doubt supported by Pew and Emerson] went out
to the well. In a bloody confrontation on November 26, 1883, Obediah
Haymaker was bayoneted four times and shot once. He died while being
carried back to his home. Michael Haymaker escaped death when the gun
pointed at him by the leader of the Chicago group misfired”</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span lang="en">Pew seemed to have been
destined for the oil business. Not only was he born less than 50

middle of a bloody battle, he now became part owner of what at that
time was the world’s largest gas well. </span></span>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span lang="en">Based on the
genealogical notes of Alfred R. Justice, (dated 1930), J.N. Pew’s
father died in 1884 leaving him with an inheritance of just $200.
Nevertheless, that same year he bought more than 100 acres of the
family farm from his only surviving brother (Samuel G. Pew) for over
$5000. He, of course, acquired most of the oil rights at the time of
purchase.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.19in; margin-top: 0.19in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">By 1885, <span lang="en">J.N.
Pew and his nephew, Robert C Pew of Pittsburgh, formed the People’s
Natural Gas Company together with E.O. Emerson. They became so
successful by selling gas piped to Pittsburgh that they began buying
Ohio refineries and oil wells near the Lima Field. This giant oil
field in NW Ohio eventually led to the establishment of many oil
boomtowns which helped Ohio become the leading oil producing state
until about 1903 It also led Pew and Emerson to incorporate the Sun
Oil Co in Ohio in 1890. This was the same year that the Sherman
Anti-Trust Act was passed which eventually led to the breakup of
Standard Oil opening the way for more competition.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">

<div style="margin-bottom: 0.19in; margin-top: 0.19in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span lang="en">It
was at this point that J.N. Pew and E.O. Emerson appeared to have a
falling out. According to Pew Family Letters (</span>Hagley Museum
and Library Collection), Pew accused Emerson of investing in private
oil interests without involving him. Anderson responded by selling or
reducing his interests in several companies. Pew always wanted to
personally control the majority of shares in any venture and those he
could not have for himself he secured for his other family members.
This was how his sons, grandsons and nephews came to be involved in
the ownership and management of the company.
</span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0.19in; margin-top: 0.19in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In 1895, one of
J.N. Pew’s first and most exceptional Mercer students, Isaac
Ketler, reorganized Grove City College as a non-profit institution.
Pew became a supporter and was elected President of the Board of
Trustees. He insisted that his son J. Howard and nephew John G. be
named to the board of Grove City College as young men. This began a
relationship between the Pews and the College which has lasted for
more than a century and continues to the present day. As we shall
see, the Pew family never allowed their educational support to
penetrate the veil of secrecy which surrounded all of their finances
and they went to extraordinary lengths to prevent government
oversight of any kind.</span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0.19in; margin-top: 0.19in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span lang="en">In
1899, at age 60, Emerson supposedly retired and sold his oil and gas
holdings to Pew. This end to the partnership just happened to
coincide with Pew’s interest in Texas oil which coincidentally led
to ownership in the largest oil discovery ever in the lower 48
states. </span></span>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0.19in; margin-top: 0.19in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In January 1901,
the Spindletop oil field was discovered in Beaumont Texas. Spindletop
was America’s first gusher which spewed oil 150 ft into the air and
pooled nearly 100,000 barrels per day (about 4 millions gallon a day)
for eight days. There was so much oil that they had to swiftly build
earthen dams around the oil pools to contain it all. J.N. Pew
responded by sending his nephews (sons of his brother Thomas) to the
gusher as soon as he heard the news. Robert C Pew returned within a
month after witnessing the chaos as the population of Beaumont
multiplied five time and land prices skyrocketed to nearly $1 million
per acre nearest the well. Then Newton Pew sent his younger nephew,
J. Edgar Pew, known in Texas as the “pistol-packing Pew from
Pennsylvania.”

<div style="margin-bottom: 0.19in; margin-top: 0.19in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Somehow, he
quickly acquired land around the well for storage tanks as well as
oil leases for production. One method we know J. Edgar used was to
bid on bankrupt companies using money he didn’t have.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.19in; margin-top: 0.19in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">According to the
SUNOCO history page, he bid $100,000 for the assets of the Lone Star
and Crescent Oil Company. For some reason he was supposedly the only
bidder, but he needed 25% down to close the deal. To make matters
worse, it was Decoration Day and all the banks were closed. As the
story goes, he walked into a vacant store which was being converted
to a new bank and came out with a check for $25,000 from people he
didn’t know. He was obviously a very determined and persuasive oil
man, but we will probably never know what methods he used to secure
the money.</span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0.19in; margin-top: 0.19in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Also in 1901,
J.N. Pew incorporated the Sun Company in New Jersey and he served as
President for more than a decade. He bought a site in Pennsylvania
along the Delaware River to build his Marcus Hook refinery which Sun
still operates to this day. At that time, the site was the
Lindenthorpe Park, a popular resort for Philadelphians which included
a beach, dancing pavilion, picnic grounds and a half-mile race track
where they also held county fairs and balloon races. Pew purchased
the property from a Philadelphia attorney for about $550 per acre and
immediately began construction of his oil refinery which was
operating in just 5 months.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.19in; margin-top: 0.19in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">By 1902, he had
purchased wharf space in Port Arthur, Texas and the first shipment of
Texas oil arrived via a converted ore carrier to the Marcus Hook
refinery. The Pew Family Letters contain ample evidence of a rift
which occurred between Pew and Emerson by the end of the year, likely
over how the proceeds were divided among the various companies for
which the two had shared ownership.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.19in; margin-top: 0.19in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Pew according to
his biographers was never afraid of his competition, especially
Standard Oil and Nelson Rockefeller. “The founder of Sun Oil,
Joseph Newton Pew, was not at all intimidated by the "trustifiers"
of our so-called Gilded Age.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.19in; margin-top: 0.19in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In 1912, J.N.
Pew was working at his desk when he suffered a likely heart attack
and died at the age of 64. Ironically, his former partner, E. O.
Emerson, died the same year, J.N Pew and his wife had raised 5
children. The oldest son, Arthur Edmond Pew was sickly and died just
4 years after his father. His two younger sons, J Howard Pew and
Joseph Newton Pew Jr. were both given ownership and control of the
company. J Howard was made President of Sun Oil and eventually Sun
Shipbuilding as well, while Joe Jr. was made Vice President.
Unfortunately for this country, they each had much bigger plans in
mind.

began building ships for the war effort in anticipation of the U.S.
entry into the war a year later. Throughout the First World War, they
built ships for the Allies (including 6 oil tankers and 3
minesweepers) and provided much needed lubricating oils and fuels.
Throughout the 1920’s, Sun Shipbuilding built oil tankers for
Rockefeller and Standard Oil Co. Meanwhile their refining capacity
expanded rapidly from 3200 barrels per day in 1920 to nearly 50,000
barrels per day by 1928.</span></div>

and the Pew family in particular, did not suffer much during the
Great Depression. An article published in Time Magazine in October
1932 stated that “<span style="color: black;">Last year's net income [Sun
Oil Co.] was $3,107,000 against an average for the past five years of
$5,375,000.” Apparently this was not enough for J. Howard Pew
because that month Sun Oil unilaterally raised the price for Texas
oil by up to 12 cents per barrel. Standard of Indiana released a
statement which said in effect that “conditions did not warrant
even the present prices” and continued price increases could “delay
progress toward a permanent [economic] recovery. </span></span>

Delano Roosevelt was elected to the Presidency in late 1932 and he
was beginning to roll out his plans for a New Deal which included
</span>regulating the stock market and banking industry, pouring
millions of dollars into work relief programs, Social Security,
guaranteeing workers the right to unionize and collective bargaining.
FDR also promised to cut oil production and fix or freeze prices as
part of the National Recovery Act Petroleum Code. This was not
popular in the Pew’s home state and Pennsylvania was one of only
six states who voted for Herbert Hoover, the incumbent. This is in no
small part due to the efforts of the Pew Family, especially J. Howard
Pew and Joseph Newton Pew Jr.</span></div>

Boss Pew simply picked the Mayor, put up $200,000, and then blithely

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Pew used his
personal wealth as vice president of the Sun Oil Company to take
control of the Republican Party both in Pennsylvania and to help fund
a national public relations campaign against Roosevelt before the
1936 presidential election. He hand-picked the GOP Party Chairman and
hired a propagandist on a 3 yr contract at $20,000 per year. He then
bought the “<i>Farm Journal</i>” with a circulation of about a
million and later merged it with “<i>The Farmer’s Wife</i>”as a
vehicle for the Republican message.

Pew, Republican candidate for Governor, Arthur Horace James ran a
campaign, vowing to undo the "Little New Deal,"
(Pennsylvania’s version of FDR Policies) by cutting taxes, and
improving the climate for business. <br /><br />Republican Pew’s
political investments began to pay off in 1938 as the Republican
Party in Pennsylvania was thrust back in control by regaining control
of the Governor's office, both houses of the state legislature, a
majority of the state congressional seats, and both seats in the
United States Senate.

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Still on the
National Front, the Republicans were never able to break FDR’s hold
on the people and they regularly went down to defeat with favorite
son candidates like Alfred M. Landon (1936), In the election of 1936,
the American Liberty League spent twice as much money as the entire
Republican Party in trying to defeat Roosevelt

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Wendell Willkie
ran in 1940 as a popular lawyer opposed to the Tennessee Valley
Authority, but he failed to win the support of the Party Bosses, This
was partly Pew’s fault, because in 1940, Republican Pew, as
predicted, held out for James and never released his 72 votes to vote
to cast a ballot for Wendell Willkie until he was soundly defeated.
“Pew was heard to say that he’d rather see a Democrat in the
White House than a liberal Republican. He and fellow conservatives
withheld their endorsements, and more importantly, their money.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In 1940, Sun Oil
Company was worth nearly $150 million. According to Time, Joseph Pew
is estimated to have spent “$2,000,000-plus which he has given his
party in the last six years.” Boss Pew called the New Deal "a
gigantic scheme to raze U.S businesses to a dead level and debase the
citizenry into a mass of ballot-casting serfs."</span></div>

Howard Pew at that time was running ads on the radio against the use
of ethanol as a mixture in gasoline which was cutting into Sun
profit. He told the radio stations to pretend make the ads look like
news items. When the <i>New York Times</i> said it would expose the
fraud, he threatened to pull all of his advertising revenue from the

</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.19in; margin-top: 0.19in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In 1939, a
competition was held to build the next bomber for the U.S. Army Air
Corps. A Texan design engineer, Vincent J. Bernelli, easily won with
his radical lifting body design which could carry 2000 pounds more
bombs, used 60% less fuel and could utilize a 50% shorter runway. The
UB-14B aircraft design was also cheaper to build. The Army Air Corps
General stated <i>“it is essential, in the interest of national <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">defense</span>, that this Burnelli procurement be authorized."
</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.19in; margin-top: 0.19in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Bernelli was
invited to the White House for the final signing of the contract.
During the course of the conversation FDR casually asked Burnelli,
<i>“We understand you have the best aeroplane of the lot, and we're
going to build a lot of them. So I guess you're going to need some
money.”</i> Burnelli courteously replied that this wouldn't be
necessary: <i><u>“Mr. Arthur Pew of the Sun Oil Company is prepared to
put up whatever we need</u>.”</i> Roosevelt went into a rage and threw
the pen across the room and had Bernelli and his team ejected. No
contract was ever signed and the Army Air Corps report was changed to
recommend any airplane but Bernelli’s. According to a Canadian
aviator’s report:
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.19in; margin-left: 0.5in; margin-top: 0.19in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
<i>“Arthur Pew told him [Bernelli] there was no hope as long as
Roosevelt was in power and put Burnelli on the payroll of a
Pew-controlled shipping company as a consultant to await FDR's fall.
War broke out, however, and the accent was placed on aircraft
production--any aircraft, as long as it was not a Burnelli! As a
result, this great genius of American Aircraft design was forced to
vegetate during the years when his designs could have saved thousands
of lives and billions of dollars!!!

<div style="margin-bottom: 0.19in; margin-top: 0.19in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">With the entry
of the U.S. into WW II, and particularly after Roosevelt’s death in
1944 Sun Shipbuilding did booming business. However, an internal Sun
Oil review found in 1943 that <i>“</i><u><i>Sun's lack of goodwill with the
military retarded the wartime use of its catalytic cracking process
which was the only one available in the late 1930s and very early
1940’s”</i> The cracking process made for higher quality fuel at a
lower cost.</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.19in; margin-top: 0.19in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Still, Sun
Ship building did eventually build about 40% of America’s oil
tankers and some of its cargo ships were converted for military use.
After WWII, Sun Ships repaired Navy destroyers and scrapped aircraft
carriers becoming one of the largest shipbuilders in the world.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="margin-bottom: 0.19in; margin-top: 0.19in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In 1944, Boss
Pew led the “Stop Willkie” campaign and he successfully denied
him the nomination. This was particularly ironic because Arthur <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">E.</span>
Pew, his nephew, was one of Willkie’s biggest supporters.

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In 1947, J.H.
Pew resigned as president, but stayed on as a director, while his
brother, took over control of the company. Joseph N. Pew, Jr.

of the Board of Sun Oil until his death in 1963.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In 1948, he and
his brother and sisters began the Pew Memorial Foundation. In 1956 in
response to growing government oversight of foundations, they created
the Pew Memorial Trust which would be administered by the Glenmeade
Trust Company.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In 1957 J.
Howard Pew created the Freedom Trust. Its charge, he wrote, was to<i>
</i><u><i>"acquaint the American people" with "the evils of
bureaucracy," "the values of the free market,"</i> and
<i>"the paralyzing effects of government controls on lives and
activities of people," to "inform our people of the
struggle, persecution, hardship, sacrifice and death by which freedom
of the individual was won.</i></u><i>" </i>The family also created a trust
for their mother, Mary Anderson.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.19in; margin-top: 0.19in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Also in 1957,
Sun Oil made its first major foreign oil strike in Venezuela. Sun Oil
produced about one billion barrels of that oil until 1975 when
Venezuela nationalized the industry. Authors Gerard Colby and
Charlotte Dennett’s claim in their book, “<i>Thy Will be Done,
The Conquest of the Amazon</i>”, that from early 1900’s until the
1980’s the Pew family, Sun Oil Co., Standard Oil, Placid Oil and
others worked with the CIA and Wycliffe/SIL (the largest U.S.
missionary organization) to acquire Amazonian resources. This
<i>“plundering, largely for oil, resulted in near-genocidal massacres
of indigenous peoples.”</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.19in; margin-top: 0.19in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This was the
year that Fortune ranked the top 50 wealthiest people in America and
each Pew brother was listed as being worth 75 -100 million dollars
equivalent to over 500 million dollars today.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.19in; margin-top: 0.19in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In the Mid
1960’s J. Howard Pew was very critical of President Lyndon
Johnson's “War on Poverty.” he argued that federal welfare
programs could only breed more poverty by undermining the work ethic
and making more people dependent on the state for their existence.</span></div>

a member of a prosperous, but numerous, family in Holland, Harry had

his people evaded the ambushes laid for them as they were forced on

the land when the cattle drives began to move North from Texas across
the reservation. Quanah studied the ways of the white man,
assimilating himself and then showing his people how to do the same.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Frederick
Chase Koch, the younger son of Harry, ran away from home to live with
the Indians according to his youngest son, William. In an article

<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><i>"Once,

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">According
to local historian, Scarlett Dougherty, Quanah Parker came to town
every year during the time Fred was a boy, camping in the teepees
they brought with them. Local ranchers supplied beef cattle to them.
</span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Quanah
adopted at least one young white boy and was generous with his time,
always glad to share the stories of his people. Fred's deep love of
the wilderness, and hunting could have its origin in these early
experiences with a man viewed as a hero of his times. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">When he was
19 Fred began college at MIT after two years at Rice University,
effectively leaving home. Although his father called both of his
sons home to work for him at the Quanah Chief-Tribune, Fred refused.
His older brother, John Anton, left college to work at the paper,
with their father, taking over the publication. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">In 1922
Fred graduated with a degree in engineering from MIT. In 1925 he
joined, and b<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">ecame a partner in
Keith-Winkler Engineering, a petrochemical engineering concern in
Wichita, Kansas. The company was renamed the Winkler-Koch Engineering Company that year. In
1927 Fred invented an improved thermal cracking process for
converting heavy oil into gasoline.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">A
consortium of larger oil companies sued Koch for patent infringement,
blocking him from selling his process in the United States. This
would send Fred Koch out of the United States to find markets for his
process. The company built installations in countries throughout
Europe, the Middle East and Asia. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">In the
early 1930s, Winkler-Koch hosted Soviet technicians for training.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Contacted
by the Russian government Fred agreed to install 15 refineries for
Stalin, spending time in Russia, where he encountered how Communism
impacted its people. Russian engineers with whom he had personally
been working were assassinated. Shocked at the inhumanity he saw he
became a life long opponent to communism and Marxism. Fred found it
incredible people would kill for the sake of an idea and that they
were willing to kill their parents for these ideas. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">John Anton
would remain in Quanah, taking his father's place in 1942, until his
death in 1959. Frederick's love of the land, perhaps learned from Quanah, continued. When Fred's
business interests had made him wealthy he purchased, over a period of
years, between 1 and 2 million acres of ranch land
and 150,000 head of cattle. According to son, William, Fred Koch
was,</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><i> “the largest rancher in
the country.”</i></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">In 1932, Koch married Mary Robinson,
and the couple had four sons, Frederick R. Koch, born in 1932,
Charles G. Koch, born1935, David H. Koch and David’s twin, William
I. Koch, both born in1940. By the late 1950’s, none of his sons had
joined him in the oil business, and he became concerned that he might
have to sell his oil refineries, and other businesses to outside
parties. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: -0.01in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">The attacks on Fred's cracking process
were finally settled in 1952 when Fred won the last of dozens of
lawsuits, securing a $1.5 million settlement. He went on to build a
fortune around pipelines and refineries. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: -0.01in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: -0.01in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">His friend, J. Howard Marshall, II would
say of Fred, about his purchased of a 35% interest in Great Northern
at its book price, “(he) </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><i>always
always said he jumped at the chance to buy a refinery for book,
didn't hesitate.”</i></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"> </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: -0.01in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: -0.01in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">J. Howard Marshall, II would late in his
life marry Anna Nicole Smith, leaving her his stock in Koch
Industries to the consternation of his heirs and, most especially,
the very secretive Koch brothers. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: -0.01in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: -0.01in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">The purchase of Fred's share in Great
Northern took place in 1959. Fred knew refineries, paying 5 million
for the facility, in cash. It may have been a comment by Marshall
which later made Charles Koch aware of the potential to produce high
quality products from the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><i>“lousiest
crude in the world.” </i></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Marshall
made the comment after Charles had become CEO of the company, now
named Koch Industries. Charles took his father's place when Fred's
failing health forced him to retire in 1966. </span></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: -0.01in; text-align: justify;">

<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: -0.01in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Koch Industries, with Sun Oil, now
Suncor, were the first two companies to begin acquiring tar sands
property in Canada. These acquisitions began after Fred's death in
1967. </span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Son Charles had followed his father’s
academic interests, and had graduated from MIT with a B. S. degree in
chemical engineering. He had gone to work for Arthur D. Little, and
was one of its engineering consultants. The senior Koch issued an
ultimatum to Charles that if he did not join him in running the Koch
companies, he would sell the Koch companies to outside interests. The
ultimatum worked, and Charles joined the firm in 1961. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"> </span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">In 1966, Charles became the president
of the firm, and in 1967, following his father’s death, Charles
became chairman and chief executive officer of the firm. In that same
year the firm’s name was officially changed to Koch Industries, the
name it is known by today.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Fred C. Koch passed away in November
1967, at age 67. He had had an eventful and successful career. The
firm he left behind to his four sons was in the able hands of his son
Charles. The firm was not large, by the standards of the
industry,then considered a medium sized oil firm, with annual
revenues of about $180 million.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Fred's

on the Koch family written by Leslie Wayne in 1989, described him as,</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><i>
“...a strong man who liked to hunt and fish. He was not a society
man at all and he taught me to fish and hunt and all that. He liked
weekends at the ranch, riding horses, and pitching hay. I hardly ever
saw Fred enjoy a cocktail party. He couldn't stand chitchat and
gossip. He was quite a rugged individualist."</i></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><i><br />I</i>n
1961, Koch would write a book on communism entitled, <i>“A Business
Man Looks at Communism”</i>. The pamphlet was 29 pages in length,
basically describing the shocking events he had witnessed against the
lives of men he had worked with and the conditions in Russia. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">In his book
he describes Russia as </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><i>"a
land of hunger, misery, and terror"</i></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">.
Given a 'handler, ' a man named Jerome Livshitz when he toured the
countryside, Fred Koch got what he later called, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><i>"liberal
education in Communist techniques and methods."</i></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">
Hearing and seeing persuaded Fred Soviets were a threat which America
must counter. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">According to his son, Charles,<i>
“Many of the Soviet engineers he worked with were longtime
Bolsheviks who had helped bring on the revolution.” </i>Fred Koch
found it deeply disturbing that so many of those so committed to the
Communist cause, who he personally knew, were later purged. Any
emotionally normal person would share his horror. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"> </span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">According to <a href="http://dizerega.com/2013/10/08/the-kochs-role-in-the-conspiracy-against-american-democracy/">Gus
diZarega</a>, who Charles mentored politically in Wichita, Charles
had rejected many of the ideas of the John Birch Society, which his
father. Fred, helped start. DiZerega said, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><i>“He
did not appear to take the Communist Conspiracy stuff very seriously,
and, unlike most all in the right-wing, opposed the Vietnam War. But
he did take very seriously the argument that big government would
inevitably lead to the loss of essential freedoms until eventually we
would be in about the same position as the unfortunate subjects of
Communist tyranny.”</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Today
Charles has shown, by his actions, he eventually decided control
through corporations was the correct solution. He appears to have
ignored the original principles of American government, that the
people will hold power locally, governing themselves. </span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"> </span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">The JBS were comprised of traditional
conservatives frightened of communism who did not understand the
ideology's relationship with corporations. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"> </span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">These direct experiences were followed
by World War II and then events which focused many on the aggressive
stance and threats issued by the Soviet Union. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"> </span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">When
Nikita Khrushechev said<i> "We will bury you!"</i> to a group of
Western Ambassadors gathered at a reception at the Polish embassy in
Moscow on </span>November 18, 1956 he may have been referring to what
he believed was an ideological battle going on between Marxism and
freedom but most people viewed this as a direct threat. Khrushechev
repeated the quote through the next several years. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"> </span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Although Marxism and then Communism
were actually viewed by corporations as tools for creating the
centralized governments they wanted this was not a fact then obvious
to the vast majority of Americans. If the real source of the threat
had been understood events would have played out very differently.
As it was, the Military-Industrial Complex, of which Eisenhower would
warn Americans when he left office on Jan.17,1961. But Conservatives
had come to distrust Eisenhower. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"> </span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Each of
Fred's sons was sent to work on one of the ranches Koch owned. Fred
believed strongly his sons should start working early, this likely
reflecting his own experiences growing up with Harry as a father.
The boys, according to William, were sent to different ranches. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">William
spent five summers working on the ranch in Montana doing the same
chores as an ordinary hired hand for 50 cents an hour. He loved
working on the ranch, and hated it when those years ended and he was
sent to military school. </span>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">The four
boys were heirs to two generations of Koch men who were very
different but driven by firmly held ideas. Fred was a Conservative.
Harry was a corporatist elitist. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Could Fred
have learned some of his own values from Quanah Parker, a tough,
resilient man who bore extreme hardship and emerged wealthy? At the
end of his life Quanah was no longer rich, having spent most of his
wealth on helping his people, actions he never regretted. He had
helped them survive a transition to a different world and in so doing
earned the respect of both whites and Native Americans through his
example and generosity. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Fred's
father, Harry, had prospered through hard work and the opportunity
available to him, as the publisher of a paper, to use the misplaced
trust of the public. While his sons were in college Harry wrote to
demand they quit school and come work for him. John did as he was
asked, Fred refused. He was a man who saw a different future for
himself and viewed his sons as resources for accomplishing this. </span>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">

the filter of the time in which the individual lives. In raising his

working early and adhere to the same goals he had set for himself.

corporatist elitists. </span>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">William,
the youngest by several minutes, graduated with a bachelors of
science, master's, and doctoral degree in chemical engineering all
from MIT. He then went to work for Koch Industries, leaving to
become the founder and president of the Oxbow Group, an energy
development holding company out of West Palm Beach, Florida. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Today
William spends time with his avocation for ranching and collecting
Western memorabilia. He has commented on his enduring love for a
father who was often absent. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">The four
men are reconciled today, but law suits which were played out over
twenty years caused rifts in their relationships, dividing Fred, Jr,
and William from Charles and David. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">These began
with a suit filed by William, with Fred, Jr., in which William
asserted his reasons were based in brother Charles' dishonesty. In
the <a href="http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune_archive/1997/02/17/222188/">CNN
Money</a> article by By Brian O'Reilly and reporter associate Patty
De LLosa, published </span>February 17, 1997<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">,
William is quoted as saying, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><i>"It's
about money, that's all....Charles is a cheat, and I hope he sues me
on it."</i></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"> William later
says, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><i>"I resent the fact
that Charles cheated me all my life." </i></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Charles
and his wife, Elizabeth, have two children. The available evidence
indicates Charles is very much like his father in his family life but
not like him in his personal world views. </span>
</div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Fred
adhered to the beliefs of Conservatism. Charles has used the
rhetoric of both Conservatism, free market economics, and
Libertarianism, but his actions do not reflect that these beliefs are
what is running in his brain as an operating system. His
ruthlessness cuts across how he does business, how he operates in
politics, and how he treats his family. </span>
</div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Lying,
cheating and stealing are the hallmarks of the Koch Method, as
outlined by employees who claim to have been trained in these
practices. These same methods are used routinely with their
political campaigns. Using the rhetoric of freedom to justify all of
these actions parallels the corporate strategy adopted by the
Rockefeller Republicans and other corporatists. </span>

Roy Wenzl and Bill Wilson, Elizabeth Koch is quoted. </span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><i>“What
drives Charles Koch most, Liz Koch said, is a conviction that free
markets are the only way to create prosperity. Even those who live in
poverty, he believes, have more money and more opportunities for jobs
if they live in a free-market economy rather than one controlled by
dictators or socialists intent on redistributing wealth. </i></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-style: normal;">It is
impossible to find any reality in the words of Liz Koch. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-style: normal;"> </span></span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-style: normal;">The
Kochs' family culture ignores the underlying realities. The article
provided insights into how intelligent people delude themselves.
Citing the “</span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><i>millions
to charities” </i></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-style: normal;">the
Kochs donated they ignore the fact these donations were largely money
given to the political organizations which they try to control, or
own, which carry out their political agenda. Additionally, today
many people are starting to understand just how problematical the
Koch impact has been on our world. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-style: normal;"> </span></span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Money
can't buy everything. Now, the people are beginning to see what has
been happening. </span></span>
</div>
<div style="font-style: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">For the
Kochs 'freedom' is being able to operate their business without
oversight and without being taxed. This is not freedom, just in
rhetoric. There is a singular lack of accountability in how they
operate.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Until
recently it is unlikely Charles, or David, were ever criticized for
anything they said. A curious courtesy is generally a benefit of
being Koch-wealthy. Now Charles is being scrutinized for the first
time in his life and he does not like it, likely because he knows
what he is hiding. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Koch
Industries and publicly held corporations depend heavily on their
relationship with government. Koch Industries receives enormous
government contracts domestically and off shore. They were in
Vietnam with Halliburton and in Iraq. Government's regulatory
process, certainly, not free market, limit their competition and so
strangles innovation. They lawyer up when found in fault, violate
the rights of individuals with impunity. This, the Kochs, by the
evidence, characterize this as 'free market capitalism.' It is
better understood as fascism. </span></span>
</div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Charles
and David Koch have spun out an empire, larger than some countries,
which hides behind the protections granted private companies and have
worked to eviscerate the traditional, localized, form of government
adopted by our founders. </span></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-style: normal;">This
is the legacy of Charles Koch. </span></span>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">But we do understand. That, Charles is your problem. Below is my response to Charles' letter in the Wall Street Journal, published April 2nd 2014. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">Dear
Charles, </span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">Your
recent opinion piece appearing in the Wall Street Journal on April 2,
titled <a href="http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702303978304579475860515021286?mod=hp_opinion&mg=reno64-wsj&url=http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702303978304579475860515021286.html?mod=hp_opinion"><span style="color: navy;"><u>“</u></span><span style="color: navy;"><span lang="zxx"><i><u>Koch:
I'm Fighting to Restore a Free Society – Instead of welcoming free
debate, collectivists engage in character assassination”</u></i></span></span></a>
<span style="font-style: normal;">raised
some interesting questions.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span>
<div style="font-style: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">I'm sure
you do not remember meeting me but in 1980, just after the finale for
Alternative '80, the fiasco held in place of the annual Libertarian
National Convention that year, my friend Janice Vargo and I shared an
elevator ride with you and Ed Crane. One of the reasons I am sure you
do not remember is that you kept talking continuously, taking Crane
to task for managing to lose money on what had, evidently, been
presented to you as a fundraiser. </span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span>
<div style="font-style: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">One of the
things which stuck in my mind was the horror you expressed over your
brother David, who was then the LP nominee for Vice President, having
actually spent 'capital' and not just the interest on his income on
his race. His place on the ticket had been sold to members of the LP,
reluctant to have him, with the idea he would spend enough to
actually make a difference in the vote total. </span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span>
<div style="font-style: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">You were
still talking when the elevator opened and Janice and I made our
escape. I don't think I have ever seen Ed look less happy. That was
nice. I was one of the people who did not want David on the ticket
and certainly did not want Crane associated with the LP in any way. </span>
</div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span>
<div style="font-style: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">This
opinion had been strengthened by the previous year, as we struggled
to do local organizing against the continuous interferences and ugly
manipulations for which Crane, and you, were responsible. We
still had not confronted the shock of watching our ideas for freedom
emerging from the mouth of Ronnie Reagan. Ronnie was never a
Conservative and he certainly was not a Libertarian, through many
wanted to believe so. </span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span>
<div style="font-style: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">In the
elevator you acted like you had bought the LP with the money David
promised to spend. Actually, using Crane, you stole the LP from the
activists who had capitalized its existence with time, sweat, and
their own money. </span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span>
<div style="font-style: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">Along with
believing you are justified in instructing your employees to lie,
cheat, and steal, you view your wealth as proof you are right. I
don't agree with you. </span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;">And
now, </span>with
an income of billions you want us to believe you are intimidated by
people writing about what you have, provably, done? It is time to
grow up and stop whining about Saul Alinsky when you obviously
studied him and began using his techniques yourself, along with those
of Edward Bernays and others. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span>
<div style="font-style: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">You
have been hoisted on the petard of a false dichotomy. You, are the
collectivist. Your attempts to collectivize the Libertarian Party
failed, you realized, by 1983, so you started on the project of
taking over the GOP. This was carried out covertly with lies,
cheating, and the continued theft of the energies and resources of
activists, like myself, using such men as Ed Crane. </span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span>
<div style="font-style: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">Your
efforts to control the world by inserting your ideas into a place
created by others continues to this day. When you talk about your
'principles' you mean the Koch Method, which you also apply in
business. </span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;">To
quote you,</span> “<i>I
have devoted most of my life to understanding the principles that
enable people to improve their lives. It is those principles—the
principles of a free society—that have shaped my life, my family,
our company and America itself. “</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span>
<div style="font-style: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">You
have a lot of gall, you know. You lie, cheat, and steal the resources
of others and justify this by telling us how rich you are, this
qualifying you, in your mind, to think for us. And you use rhetoric
which you, clearly, do not believe, in a continuing attempt to
re-spin yourself. </span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;">And
family? That is enough to make me laugh. </span><span style="font-style: normal;">Your
grandfather came to the US, not for freedom, but to be a part of the
gilded age. He wanted to get rich and saw ordinary Americans as
marks to be picked dry. That, is your real heritage. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"> </span>
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Men
like, him, and you, have destroyed the freedoms won by people </span>who
fought the Revolution, living out a direct and often harsh
understanding of the will for freedom which drew them to the New
World. They died to make us free, paying for their own guns, powder
and balls. These are some of my people and we remember. Do not
pretend this is your heritage.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">Business
is something people do, a way to improve the time and be productive –
as long as no one is harmed by our actions. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span>
<div style="font-style: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">Your
father, Fred, was a self-made man. You are not. Your father was a far
better man than you will ever be. </span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">Your
life choices have destroyed our freedom. You miss the enormous
distinction between living the principles and a rhetoric intended to
deceive. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">If
I had not been subjected to these same lies while active in the
Libertarian Party it is possible I could be brought to believe your
vehement protestations. But I was there, experiencing the frustration
of seeing the work we had done destroyed by your paid flunkey, Ed
Crane, who you placed as an employee at CATO, and who worked for you
as an agent for centralizing control of our movement. Your arrogance
is both unseemly and vile. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">What
you and Crane put us through was bewildering, anguishing, demeaning.
And we did not know then it would only get worse. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">Today
Americans are losing their homes to a corrupt system of banks and
financial institutions which follow the principles for deceit you
lived. People, real people, are dying and in danger of life-altering
diseases because of the 'Koch Methods,' used to run Koch Industries. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">There
is no dignity or moral credit here for you to hide behind. Our rights
and freedom are under constant attack because of the real principles
you have lived. Those are – More for you, more for you, more for
you. And some for David, too. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">Rhetorical
maundering mean nothing if you are not making the words real through
action. </span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">Growing
numbers of Americans every day are becoming more desperate and
willing to follow in the steps of our Founders, standing up for their
rights and freedom <i>against</i>
such
men as yourself. </span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">A
free society is based on the internally held power of the individual,
knowing they can care for themselves, families, and others in
communities where they live. All of us need to look inward for
strength, not to government or a corporation for charity. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">Also
required is a secure confidence in courts which deliver justice,
accountability for everyone, not just those who lawyer up and use
their political connections to evade the corrective impact of a real
justice. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">You
are, yourself, a big government, a wealthy nation of Greed with
60,000 subjects. Evading every attempt to exact accountability has
been your own, personal, goal all of your life. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">Remember
Danielle Dawn Smalley and Jason Stone? Their families will never
forget you. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">Thomas
Jefferson said too, “<i>No
man has a natural right to commit aggression on the equal rights of
another, and this is all from which the laws ought to restrain him.”</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"><i>Equal
rights</i> <span style="font-style: normal;">are
the ground on which all of us stand when we hold our own power
inside. </span></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">When
you neglected the upkeep of your pipelines you consigned Danielle and
Jason to a hideous death. Was the sting of punitive damages a
violation of your rights? No, it was simple justice you used
political connections to evade. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">Don't
bother to deny how you have worked like a little beaver, employing so
many to assist you, in rigging the system. We know. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">I
suspect we only know of a few of your deceits, manipulations, and
ugly thefts of the health of ordinary Americans. Our knowledge is
imperfect, but soon you will stand before one who knows everything. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">When
I first started researching you and your former employee, Ed Crane,
years ago, I fast discovered most people are terrified of crossing
you because of the 'consequences' you exact. Would you like to tell
us about the cost plus contracts you have gotten from government? The
man who told me would not let me use his name, but he obviously
needed to talk about your 'methods.' He was not as explicit as those
cited in the Bloomberg article, but I recognized the strategy,
experienced personally as a Libertarian, when I read the article. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">As
the son of a multimillionaire and now a billionaire yourself, you
have always been able to immunize yourself both from criticism and
avoid confronting the reality of your own actions. That has now
ended, I hope in time for you to get right between yourself and God.
There are some reckonings which will come, no matter how much money
you pile up on Earth. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">Americans
could have clean energy today if you and your friends had not worked
so diligently to stop us from climbing off your grid, one of so many.
Don't think no one noticed. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">I'll
let my partner in Green Field's Renewal, Dave Lincoln, comment on
your safety record. Dave is a geoengineer who left the petroleum
industry, disgusted at what he saw as standard practices for all the
majors in your industry in 1996. </span>
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">You flunked, despite the awards you give
yourself. </span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">And you said - “<i>Far
from trying to rig the system, I have spent decades opposing cronyism
and all political favors, including mandates, subsidies and
protective tariffs—even when we benefit from them. I believe that
cronyism is nothing more than welfare for the rich and powerful, and
should be abolished.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"><i>Koch
Industries was the only major producer in the ethanol industry to
argue for the demise of the ethanol tax credit in 2011. That
government handout (which cost taxpayers billions) needlessly drove
up food and fuel prices as well as other costs for consumers—many
of whom were poor or otherwise disadvantaged. Now the mandate needs
to go, so that consumers and the marketplace are the ones who decide
the future of ethanol.”</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">Careful,
your nose is growing. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">Let
me explain something to you, in your gilded tower in Wichita, Kansas.
Perhaps you have been so busy with Dorothy, Toto and the Ruby Red
Slippers some relevant facts have evaded your notice. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"><b>Freedom
Matters</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">What
Americans have lost is confidence in themselves, the knowledge they
can take care of their families and communities. Once, they had it
built through lifetimes which proved this to be true. This is what we
were trying to accomplish with the Libertarian Party when you decided
it would make a great tool for your own plans. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">Did
you think Crane cared about freedom? Crane is not a libertarian, he
is just a libertine. He has used his position as your flunky to
become wealthy, not work for freedom. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">If
you want to grow an oak tree you must start with an acorn. A free
people must free themselves and for this to happen the power must be
re-established and renewed, by the people, at the most local level. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">I
knew we had to rebuild America from the roots by getting people to do
it locally. Your money washed all thoughts of real change out of the
equation, focusing attention on how to make a living selling services
you wanted. Money can also be toxic. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">And
your money was carefully directed to the use of Ed Crane, wasn't it?
They got big salaries and developed even bigger egos, which they
still have today. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">Privatizing
is not the word which was accurate or appropriate. The right word is
'corporatizing.' This different way of looking at our rights shaved
off tiny pieces of them, to be commodified by government. Again, this
is just making money by incrementally making people less free. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">How
did you expect people to govern themselves, if they did not learn by
re-establishing their own rights and power locally? I heard Crane and
his cronies talk about 'fooling people into being free.” but I can
see you all shared this same <span style="font-weight: normal;">bizarre
idea.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">You
said,</span> “<i><span style="font-weight: normal;">Instead
of fostering a system that enables people to help themselves, America
is now saddled with a system that destroys value, raises costs,
hinders innovation and relegates millions of citizens to a life of
poverty, dependency and hopelessness. This is what happens when
elected officials believe that people's lives are better run by
politicians and regulators than by the people themselves. Those in
power fail to see that more government means less liberty, and
liberty is the essence of what it means to be American. Love of
liberty is the American ideal.”</span></i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span>
<div style="font-weight: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">Your
money was used to establish a sinecure for Crane and his Toadies. You
financed this in 1980 and again against the Ron Paul Revolution,
using a genuine movement to build your faux Tea Parties. I call them,
“after-school program, with tee-shirt.” </span></div>
<div style="font-weight: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span>
<div style="font-weight: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">We
need to learn, once again, how to govern ourselves, relearning the
skills by doing. This must happen from the small towns and large
cities, by living together and building communities where we care for
each other. This is never easy, never without problems. But we grow
spiritually as we work. We are human and problems will always
accompany our humanity. </span></div>
<div style="font-weight: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span>
<div style="font-weight: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">But
when people have the truth they can take corrective action,
accomplishing wonders you have never imagined. </span></div>
<div style="font-weight: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span>
<div style="font-weight: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">At
each point there must be honesty, transparency, and caring for each
other. </span>
</div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span>
<div style="font-weight: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">In
this there is a role for you and Koch Industries. </span></div>
<div style="font-weight: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span>
<div style="font-weight: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">Take
the log out of your own eye. Clean up your own business, stop
destroying the land, water and air which embraces all of us. Down
size so you can responsibly oversee your own business. Make whole
those you have harmed. Go to them, personally, and ask for
forgiveness. </span></div>
<div style="font-weight: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">
</span>
<div style="font-weight: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">As
you divest, invest in Deep Green technologies, knowing these will
create a richness for humanity which will last past what we can
presently even imagine possible. This is the best investment you will
ever make, and an honest one. </span>

Kochs are on a whole different level. There’s no one else who has
spent this much money. The sheer dimension of it is what sets them

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: black;">Koch
Industries is best known as the source of the fortunes of Charles and
David Koch, billionaires who are major funders of right-wing activist
groups such as Americans for Prosperity. The company itself—which
began as an oil services business created by the Kochs’ father in
the 1940s—was built by the Koch brothers into a privately-held
conglomerate with more than $100 billion in annual revenue. Among its
holdings are the paper products giant Georgia-Pacific (Dixie Cups,
Brawny paper towels, etc.) and Invista, the synthetic fibers business
(Lycra, Stainmaster, etc.) spun off by DuPont.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: black;">The
Kochs claim to run their businesses in accordance with their
laissez-faire beliefs—their term for it is Market-Based
Management—which means that they have frequently come into conflict
with government regulators and prosecutors. They are currently the
target of protests over reports that they will try to purchase
the</span><span style="color: black;"> </span><em><span style="color: black;">Los
Angeles Times</span></em><span style="color: black;"> </span><span style="color: black;">and

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: black;">The
Koch empire dates back to the late 1920s, when engineer Fred Koch
invented a more efficient method for the thermal cracking of crude
oil, which yielded higher proportions of usable products, especially
gasoline. His innovation threatened the existing oil industry, which
tied Koch up in patent infringement lawsuits. He responded by signing
a contract with the Stalin regime to construct refineries in the
Soviet Union. During the 1940s he built a domestic oil service
business called Wood River Oil & Refining based in Wichita,
Kansas. It was later renamed Rock Island Oil & Refining.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: black;">Koch
maintained a low-profile for his company while getting involved in
right-wing politics. He helped found the John Birch Society in 1958.
After Koch died in 1967, the company was taken over by his
32-year-old son Charles. Another son, David, also joined the firm.
The brothers initiated a period of rapid growth that would turn the
family’s business, renamed Koch Industries, into one of the
country’s largest privately held companies.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: black;">William,
David’s twin, joined the company in 1971, but he reportedly never
fit in. He clashed with Charles over issues such as the large sums
the latter was contributing to the Libertarian Party and the limited
sums that were being paid in dividends to family shareholders. In
1980 Bill tried to seize control of the company. The effort failed,
and William was ousted. He sued Charles and David for corporate
mismanagement; they countersued with a $167 million libel action. The
situation became ugly as the brothers traded endless accusations. The
case was settled in 1983; as part of the deal, William (and a fourth
brother, Fred, who took his side) sold their interests back to the
company. Two years later, however, William and Fred sued Charles and
the company, claiming that the value of their holdings had been
misrepresented to them. That charge was rejected in court.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: black;">The
family squabbles did not slow the growth of Koch Industries, which
benefitted from shrewd acquisitions of properties shunned by larger
oil producers and by the run-up in oil prices in the 1970s. The
company also moved into businesses such as oil pipelines, chemicals,
cattle ranching, coal mining and commercial real estate, the latter
through the acquisition of Chrysler Realty Corporation.</span></span></span></div>

for $4.4 billion. In 2005 it made its largest deal ever: the $21
billion acquisition of paper products giant Georgia-Pacific. In 2012
Koch acquired a large stake in glass, automotive and building
products producer Guardian Industries.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: black;">Many
of these political initiatives served the Kochs’ business
interests. Their industrial operations stood to gain if regulation of
greenhouse gases and other pollutants remained weak. The Mayer
article pointed out that Koch Industries was lobbying vigorously
against tougher federal regulation of formaldehyde—widely viewed as
a carcinogen though heavily used by the company’s Georgia-Pacific
unit in its wood products—at the same time that David Koch was
making large contributions to cancer research centers.</span></span></span></div>

phone call with someone who identified himself as David Koch and
encouraged Walker in his effort to strip public employees of
collective bargaining rights. The caller</span><span style="color: black;"> </span><a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/02/23/scott-walker-buffalo-beast-phone-prank_n_827058.html"><span style="color: #bf2519;">turned

part of his feud with his brothers, William Koch hired private

Industries had underreported the amount of oil it obtained from

“The Secret Sins of Koch Industries” that made some explosive
accusations against the company: “For six decades around the world,
Koch Industries has blazed a path to riches—in part, by making
illicit payments to win contracts, trading with a terrorist state,
fixing prices, neglecting safety and ignoring environmental
regulations. At the same time, Charles and David Koch have promoted a
form of government that interferes less with company actions.”</span></span></span></div>

environmental cases had been previously reported and are summarized

allegations involving bribery and dealing with Iran. The article
reported that the company’s subsidiary Koch-Glitsch paid bribes to
secure contracts in six countries (Algeria, Egypt, India, Morocco,
Nigeria and Saudi Arabia) and that it violated U.S. sanctions by
doing business with Iran, including the sale of materials that helped
the country build the world’s largest plant to convert natural gas

2000, for its 300 reported oil spills which had taken place across
six states, Koch paid the largest civil fine ever imposed on a

of crude oil and petroleum products. In a settlement with the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Department_of_Justice">U.S.

<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background: transparent;">In
1996, an 8-inch-diameter steel <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquefied_petroleum_gas">LPG</a> pipeline
operated by Koch Pipeline Company ruptured near Lively, Texas and
began leaking <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butane">butane</a> gas.
The vapor cloud ignited when two residents drove their pickup truck
through the flammable vapors to get to a neighbor's house to
call <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9-1-1">9-1-1</a> to
report the leak. The two were killed in the explosion, and
approximately 25 families were later evacuated from the neighborhood
without injury. An investigation conducted by the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTSB">NTSB</a> found
that the pipe section which failed had not been shown to have
excessive corrosion in a 1995 inspection. Regulations at the time did
not provide criteria for "adequate cathodic
protection."</span></span></span></span><a href="https://draft.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=4307427738691898803#cite_note-46"><span style="color: red;"><sup><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background: transparent;">[46]</span></span></span></sup></span></a><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background: transparent;"> Koch
also stated that the bacteria-induced corrosion acted quicker than
had ever previously been recorded in the industry. The explosion was
the only event of its kind in the company’s history. In 1999, a
Texas jury found that negligence had led to the rupture of the Koch
pipeline and awarded the victims' families $296 million - "the
largest compensatory damages judgment in a wrongful death case
against a corporation in U.S. history".</span></span></span></span><span style="color: red;"><sup><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background: transparent;"><a href="https://draft.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=4307427738691898803#cite_note-flout-38">[38]</a><a href="https://draft.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=4307427738691898803#cite_note-NTSB-47">[47]</a></span></span></span></sup></span></div>

something so tragic it will haunt Charles and David Koch for years to

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">While
the brothers wage war against safety precautions, every day their
factory is dumping millions of gallons of wastewater into streams
that flow near a small rural town. It’s this kind of abuse by the
top 1% of Americans that’s driving young and old to fight money in
politics, occupy Wall Street and protest in the streets. The Koch
brothers personify inequality, and people are rising up and have
identified the overwhelming corporate influence on democracy as a
corrosive stain that harms the rest of us.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Our
latest video reflects this as we follow the money and prove the Koch
brothers buy a system that makes them richer at the expense of
everyone else. Through political donations, think tanks and front
groups, the Koch brothers are able to weaken safety and oversight
laws, which leaves communities like Crossett, Arkansas behind to
suffer.</span></span></span></div>

Center for Responsive Politics puts Koch at the top of its list of
the 80-odd firms, local governments and other groups lobbying

firm has spent $44 million lobbying in Washington on this and other

to be the biggest risks chemical plants posed to their communities.
But after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the Department of Homeland
Security became concerned with how attacks on these plants would harm
the densely populated communities around them. The worst case
scenarios the DHS found include chemical explosions, spills, and gas
clouds that could either kill or seriously harm millions of people
living in the plants' vicinities.</span></span></span></span></span></div>

really, how serious is the threat of a terrorist blowing up a
chemical plant on US soil? It's serious enough that the EPA keeps its
records of chemical plants' risk management plans under lock and
key—members of the public can only view 10 documents per month,
while being closely monitored by EPA officials.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">In May 2008, a unit of <a href="http://topics.bloomberg.com/koch-industries/">Koch
Industries</a> Inc., one of the world’s largest privately held
companies, sent Ludmila Egorova-Farines, its newly hired
compliance officer and ethics manager, to investigate the
management of a subsidiary in Arles in southern France. In less
than a week, she discovered that the company had paid bribes to
win contracts. </span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">“I uncovered the practices within a few days,” Egorova-
Farines says. “They were not hidden at all.” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
She immediately notified her supervisors in the U.S. A week
later, Wichita, Kansas-based Koch Industries dispatched an
investigative team to look into her findings, Bloomberg Markets
magazine reports in its November issue</span></div>
