This YouTube channel appears to be another Koch propaganda channel. You must know the Kochs; they started the AstroTurf Tea Party movement. So what do the Kochs want? Let’s research that query on Google “What do the Koch Brothers want”. If you open the result on the Bernie Sanders’ site, you will see part of the 1980 Libertarian platform. This is the platform of David Koch when he ran for VP on the Libertarian ticket.
So what do the Kochs want? Put simply, they want all regulation removed, everything privatized, no worker collective bargaining, no taxes, no limits to political bribery, the disabling of democracy, and all government services cancelled. This is their ideal world- pure fascist oligopoly. Those who have the money control everything. The oligarchs, like the Kochs, want a world they control without exception; they want a nation of programmed, impotent, compliant morons; the last thing they want is someone able to figure out how they have been screwed. So an ignorant and stupid population suits the oligarchs right down to the ground. You may wonder why Betsy DeVos is slowly dismantling the public school system; you may wonder why the Kochs are supporting Libre to promote Charter Schools whose effectiveness is limited by its shareholder diminished government funding.
The Kochs aren’t stupid; they know how to manipulate a large portion of the population to lobby for the interests of the oligarchs. With the aid of propaganda outlets like Hollywood, they create the illusion of the individual. The individual is a necessary part of the scam; it subtly divides society until, as Thatcher said, “There is no such thing as society”. Once they have smashed society, the job of the oligarch is made so much easier. One of its direct advantages is in the disabling of unions. Remember, the Kochs don’t want any impediment to business; they don’t want Occupational Health and Safety regulations; they don’t want any controls that may limit pollution from their refineries; and the last thing they want is any leverage in their labor force when it comes to negotiation. The Kochs’ ultimate goal appears to return to the Lord-Serf days of Britain where those with the wealth control everything and income and wealth inequality is systematically embedded into the culture.
So let’s have a look at some of these YouTube Titles. Today’s video is promoting self reliance and individuality; a couple of weeks ago there was a video attempting to explain Orwell’s thoughts on socialism and intentionally screwed it up. When Orwell visited Spain, he was amazed at the then socialist Catalonian region and how productive it was. He was soon to learn the fascists could never allow these regions to exist and became involved in the Spanish Civil War himself fighting on the side of the Socialists. Remember, at that time Britain, Italy and even Germany were allied and fighting against the Socialists. So the oligarchs will never accept Socialism and why would they? If the oligarchs did allow a significant Socialism to function unchecked, the contrast would be detrimental to their exploitative world. Remember, after the 1929 Crash, many Americans immigrated to the Soviet Union to survive but that is another story.
So here’s something you can do for yourself. Comprehensively read the 1980 Libertarian platform to understand the intent of the Kochs, and then see what videos fit the memes of the Kochs’ libertarian platform. You may surprise yourself by what you will learn. You may surprise yourself when you learn whose interests this YouTube site serves.
