Below I will provide interactive relationship maps for the organizations and people mentioned in today's New York Times article. However, I will begin with some important charts that need to be viewed before delving into the backup charts for the article.

If you take a few minutes to review the first few charts, you will better understand the charts presented for the people and organizations as they appear in the NYTimes article.

Also, for those interested in deep research, you can read SEARCHABLE 990 IRS reports for non-profits at http://foundationcenter.org/... -

This is very easy to use. I LOVE THAT YOU CAN DO A SEARCH/FIND at this website. To quickly see who the non-profit gave money to, search for GRANTS until you come to the list within the 990.

I searched the FoundationCenter for KOCH and found 150 documents, many of which are related to the Koch Brothers.

WHAT AN IRS TREASURE TROVE OF INFORMATION!!!

Another great source, although not as easy to use is http://www.guidestar.org/ You do have to create an account. It's free. I searched for KOCH. There were 98 hits.



Here's the link for just one. The Charles Koch Foundation. If you use this service, search for a non-profit, when the page opens, click on "Forms 990 and Documents" where you will see the the reports for years 2009, 2010, and 2011 for those operating during those years. This is the link for the Charles Koch Foundation 2011 990. Here's an example of what you will find In summary, this foundation is worth more than $200,000,000 and distributed $17,165,524 mostly to colleges and like-minded foundations. You can read about which colleges received money in this article and this article.

Yes, this is a lot of information; however, I think the stakes at hand merit the time it takes to understand what is happening to our country.

The New York Times did some journalistic digging and found the Koch Brothers spent a small Anti-Obamacare fortune resulting in the Government Shutdown.

A Federal Budget Crisis Months in the Planning



A review of tax records, campaign finance reports and corporate filings shows that hundreds of millions of dollars have been raised and spent since 2012 by organizations, many of them loosely connected, leading opposition to the measure. One of the biggest sources of conservative money is Freedom Partners, a tax-exempt “business league” that claims more than 200 members, each of whom pays at least $100,000 in dues. The group’s board is headed by a longtime executive of Koch Industries, the conglomerate run by the Koch brothers, who were among the original financiers of the Tea Party movement. The Kochs declined to comment.

- I have spent months and months looking into this. I propose that, because there are so many links in this monetary web, that the IRS doesn't have a snowballs chance in hell of uncovering and exposing how money is being used to subvert our democracy or even to find any discrepancies.

The bizarrely intricate methods being used by the Kochs and others to finance the undermining of our democracy could actually upend these hateful, socially irresponsible, greedy 1% efforts.

Tax Evasion took down the mob, remember? Of course, unwinding and finding any illegalities would require the IRS, the FBI white collar division, and DOJ to be both properly funded, manned, and motivated which helps explain, in part, the right wing hopes of killing off the government. It is also important to note that Bush II gutted the FBI white collar division.

The Kochs Et Al are not stupid. I'm on to their plan, as are many others.



Specifically, the Kochs (and many other plutocrats) know that, by funding the far far right Tea Party and the so-called liberty-loving, seemingly wonderful Libertarian movement, candidates from both conservative niches will run for seats and regardless of which flavor of conservativism of the day is preferred, the Kochs/Plutocrats will still have their hand puppets elected to serve their "Kill all social services, no rules, no taxes, serve-the-rich, dog-eat-dog" government takeover coup. Hundreds of millions of dollars are being spent to hoodwink the collegiate and even high school demographic to win the hearts and minds of today's youth because the GOP is dying off. All manner of efforts are being made by the 1% to present today's youth with a tanked economy and a no-hope future so the Democratic Party can be blamed. The Koch Brothers and others hope these youth will flock to the GOP in 2014 and 2016. Blue Dog Democrats can also be bought and run in races where it looks like a GOP candidate doesn't have a prayer of being elected.

I call the entire cabal Hatriots.

A perfect example of this drive is Generation Opportunity, a Koch Brothers/Plutocratic Cabal hand puppet of young people funded to hate Obamacare. I wonder if the young people being hoodwinked in this group know that their financiers don't give a rat's ass about them?

I am still hopeful there are journalists interested in digging and exposing the Koch Brothers and the Cabal's networks of evil.

There is a cabal of Foundations working very hard to make your life miserable and they are succeeding.

This chart just scratches the surface of Conservative Foundations (interactive link). Note Freedom Works Foundation on this chart. It's a Koch funded entity. These conservative groups are all interconnected.



AN ASIDE: If you double click on a chart, you will see a larger version, under which you will find a link to the interactive Muckety Map. When viewing an interactive Muckety map, you can see the relationship description by scrolling your cursor over either the solid or dotted lines. Muckety has done an amazing job cross referencing, so look under their maps for additional information. Enjoy your research.

Donors Trust is one of the entities the Koch Brothers and their like-minded, greedy friends funnel money through hoping to end our democracy as we know it. You will see some other Right Wing foundations in this chart as well as Freedom Works Foundation (which means freedom for the rich to do whatever they feel like doing to our land, water, air, and us)

Here's the 2011 990 IRS form link for Donors Trust Inc

Will money be enough to subvert and takeover Congress and ultimately destroy democratic processes?

Is America hanging by a thread?

If so, what horrible implications await our youth and, for the matter, the world?



By the way, the Koch family and The Cabal has actually been working for 80 years to undermine and destroy all the FDR accomplished. The Koch led Cabal wants to see children back to work and the end to any/all social safety nets and corporation regulations. The Cabal wants a return to the two class glory days. The Cabal calls this Freedom. The rest of the world calls this fascism. Here's the in-depth information to back up this claim: Exposé - 80 Years of Planning: The Kochs + The Family + Birchers = TEA PARTY Disinformation Machine The Exposé includes all the links a journalist will need to dig a little deeper.

Today I thought it would be helpful to provide a Pictorial Response to the NYTimes Exposé

Here are the pictures with a minimum of commentary.
