This hard-hitting investigation of the 1% at its very worst is the latest from acclaimed director Robert Greenwald. Charles and David Koch are using their billions to put a stranglehold on American democracy. What are we going to do about it?


Koch Brothers Exposed is a hard-hitting investigation of the 1% at its very worst. This full-length documentary film on Charles and David Koch—two of the world’s richest and most powerful men—is the latest from acclaimed director Robert Greenwald (Wal-Mart: the High Cost of Low Price, Outfoxed, Rethink Afghanistan). The billionaire brothers bankroll a vast network of organizations that work to undermine the interests of the 99% on issues ranging from Social Security to the environment to civil rights. This film uncovers the Kochs’ corruption—and points the way to how Americans can reclaim their democracy.

    The Koch Brothers (pronounced Coke) ARE the enemy. Boycott ALL their
    products. Out all the organizations and people they fund. Fight for a
    democratic society.

    get paid like it. #3 in your list i won’t contest for now. 4.tax the rich
    more? if your going to do income tax it should be an equal % o what you
    make regardless of how much you make. aka no tax brackets. 5. price control

    Its not the 1% thats at fault, its the government in Washington that makes
    the rules and gets in bed with the crony capitalism folks. There were many
    rich people before in our country, from JP Morgan who worked with Thomas
    Edison to Rockafeller, yet we became the worlds richest country. Instead of
    blaming bankers and these Wall Street types, blame those who bailed them
    out why dont you. In a true capitalism those who make mistakes fail, not
    prosper and thanks to politicians they are doing that.

    I for one would like to say I am not envious of the Koch brothers. Besides
    not wishing to have a billion dollars — a few million would be nice but
    not a billion, thank you — (unless I could use the money to actually
    improve society) they gained much of their money by screwing over the rest
    of us. No thank you! I would not want their karma. I can’t imagine such
    evil spoiled babies with that much money and power going out of their way
    to ruin the lives of poor black kids, the elderly, struggling single
    mothers. Despicable!

    Every sovereign nation in the world has the ABSOLUTE right to issue its own
    debt-free and interest-free money based on that nation’s credit and wealth.
    This money would be issued through its treasury and not its central bank –
    the latter being a criminal debt-creating enterprise set up by the banking
    dynasties that creates money completely out of thin air (fractional reserve
    lending) and then charges interest on this nothingness. Check out the
    UK Bradbury Pound and the US Greenback Dollar. The global elite (Koch
    family included) account not for 1% but 0.0000000000001% of the world’s
    population…….but they control the world’s money supply. So what are
    YOU going to do about it?

    Capitalism is one epic failed system of gigantic proportion as communism
    was, capitalism is only just maybe slightly better than communism but
    still a quasi functioning system that failed us and it breeds nepotism,
    cronyism, corruption, favoritism, monopolistic suppression and subjugation.
    Holy fuck man, this idea of private property ownership is a flaw concept
    that has been exploited by the radical idealistic fanatics. This created a
    whole class of unwanted, unneeded, valueless, worthless, bunch of ownership
    class that rigged the monopolistic system of capitalism and oppress/deprive
    99% of its citizens. Talk about evil privileges inheriting that allow the
    sinister heirs to continue the looting, ravaging, raiding, destroying our
    country. Rich leeches infestation is bleeding and killing our nation.
    Pointless and damaging idea of property inheriting system is what is so
    wrong about our democracy. Nationalize all our oil mines and industries
    like Norway/Iran/Malaysia did. It benefits us all. We need a new system, a
    third alternative: SOCIAL DEMOCRACY.

    Libertarians are bunch of clowns. Ayan Rand used the welfare system in her
    dying days, Ron Paul are using the welfare system now as we speak, Koch
    brothers taking corporate welfare subsidies, Paul Ryan used the system
    during his college days, Red states welfare recipients are taking money
    from the government too possibly more than blue states. Christian
    conservatives are even more pathetic, they claimed to love Jesus, against
    abortion and appose gay rights but when their beloved capitalism was
    criticized by the pope, these loose cannon God loving Republicans all went
    ballistic. I did not know they can cherry pick which rules to follow and
    which to oppose/ignore in the bible.

    This is such a blatant hit piece. The Kochs have the right to fund
    conservative foundations just as the Ford, Carnegie and other foundations
    work for a socialist state. This is the stated goal of the Ford foundation,
    listen to interview with congressional investigator Norman Dodd on youtube.
    All of these elite sickos are trying to engineer our society to their
    taste. Some are socialist, some fascist but the thing they all agree on is
    keeping power (money) in the hands of a few. They see the alternative as
    “chaos”, the unwashed masses, their minds already dulled by propaganda must
    be controlled…or else. The socialist foundations are probably WORSE than
    the Kochs!

    Another thought… When I see discussions developping underneath
    documentaries like these… I still see divisions of people… literally
    divided people, either left OR right, either dem or rep either … while
    that is exactly what “they” (whomever you want to point any fingers to,
    including one self) would like to see so they can just continue behind the
    screens… shit, the ones in power support ALL sides… (easiest thing to
    illustrate this is the business of weapons… hell, they support wars on
    both sides… with HK’s or AK’s, doesn’t matter, as long as the money is
    coming in.

    So, instead of focusing on which “side” one is on, we’ld better start to
    realize what our common values and goals are and work towards that WITH an
    “educated mind” (whatever that may mean at the moment).

    So good luck all, good luck and I guess I’ll meet you all halfway…

    After we burned down some of those welthy ivory towers, obviously ;).

    or imprisoned already. You can get life in jail for drug possession but
    these cock suckers get nothing for their crimes. America is fucked and I’m
    glad I don’t live there, I am ashamed that my government is a puppet to
    America but I’m nowhere as ashamed as I would be if I were an American
    citizen. You guy’s pretend that you need your guns for a reason and this is
    it, go and fix your own fucking country for the sake of your people and
    maybe you will remember what freedom and pride taste like again. America is
    a cancer in the eyes of the entire world and we all know it is the
    Government and not the people to blame, but the people need to take
    responsibility for fixing this cold blooded, money hungry death machine.

    Thanks too the uploader for this. As a Brit, I cannot comprehend how this
    allowed to go on, it seems the whole democratic process of your wonderful
    country is being hijacked under your very eyes! Is there never any
    investigations into how your political figures are funded? I find it
    absolutely outrageous what went on in Wisconsin, it was so clearly visible,
    the political agenda being carried out by proxy, why wasn’t the candidate
    ruled ineligible? Goldman Sachs, Koch Brothers and the rest of the elite
    are systematically enslaving a nation and that’s not an exaggeration, When
    you have someone like Alan Greenspan fucking up the World on behalf of
    these twats by dismissing financial regulation and the ensuring of
    environmental disaster by allowing elected members of your senate/congress
    to advocate on behalf of the Koch Brothers and others, what chance do your
    children have? What I don’t get is why so many ‘normal’ Americans fall for
    blatant manipulation, such as ‘Americans for prosperity’ can they not see
    the agenda behind it, how can they not see? The UK’s political system is
    far from perfect but the lobbying and the way the American media can be
    bought, twisted and plied is beyond me and I find it disgusting. It is such
    a shame, one day, I hope America returns to the ‘land of opportunity’ and
    your people all have a shot at that beautiful term ‘The American dream’
    regardless of race, religion or social standing. Alas, unless there is a
    fundamental change in your political process,I fear the worst. Thank you

    I think ordinary citizens have proven males like the Koch brothers do not
    control the American government, even with all their money.

    What’s amazing is the Koch’s continue pouring money into a dead horse, and
    expect it to race and win. The “horse” I’m speaking of is the Republican
    Party and the ghastly mess it has become, the mess that even today
    continues to grow thanks to 400 million dollar infusions of cash by the
    Kochs and their continual support of — human garbage and the most foul and
    low of political ideals.

    Their political losses will only get worse.

    I don’t think most people understand exactly what the pathway is that the
    Koch brothers are attempting to dump on the USA. We certainly didn’t know
    what it was and we spent an enormous amount of time running through all the
    Koch networks, never realizing there was something way way more sinister
    than just a bunch of crazy republicans.

    Our volunteers finally brought all the paperwork to one table, paperwork on
    all the radical crazy groups. We had one question. What does this look like?

    To me, it looked like Stalin, Joseph Stalin. Immediately the team went to
    work doing more research, and wa-la — discovered Koch worked closely and
    personally with none other than Joseph Stalin on Stalin’s “First Five Year
    Plan”. That plan had all the dynamics we see in the Koch network today,
    right down to the white supremacists. At this point, all they haven’t
    achieved is the violent overthrow of our government BUT they are absolutely
    calling for violence and revolution and they ARE ramping up that call.

    What Koch originally did was gather 12 very seedy characters together to
    form the John Birch Society and they gave it a name that they knew would
    grab unknowing Christians. They named it after a guy they didn’t even know.
    From there the network formed a massive white supremacist group, formed the
    libertarian groups and ultimately the tea party and fake christian
    churches/pastors. As well, the Kochs set up every caliber and type of
    secret sleezy business network you can think of, and paid off politicians.
    While yelping about “mooches” in American society, the Kochs asked for and
    received a 100 million dollar handout from the American government.

    The Kochs are solidly in the republican party as are their tea party and
    libertarian groupies.

    Those people, all of them, are crazy and dangerous, and they are every
    reason we have to stay strong with the Democrats. If we fail, the Kochs and
    their goons will achieve their anti-American goals.

    You remember all this when it’s time to vote, and share this with all the
    people you know. You can verify everything I’ve written here on Google.

    The Cock Bros. are a detesable bunch. They care only for themselves, their
    interests and their money. It’s as though they think they can take it with
    them when they die.
    Many don’t know their sordid history. Their father started his business in
    Texas and Oklahoma, (imagine that) with an “oyl” recovery system of trucks
    that pumped and then sold oil from small land-owners, mostly Reservation
    Indians. You can see them still, all over the oil belt.
    Anyway…..and this is documented, they consistently short-changed the
    people that they serviced, and hence made huge profits for many years. They
    now own most of the world. Nice guys, they.
    Now, with their ill-gotten billions of dollars, they want to buy your
    freedom, (or at least the illusion of it). I guess that you can just
    give-in, resign yourselves to the inevitible, keep chasing a buck, and
    pooping out kids that will one day curse you for their birth, or you can do
    something about it. Think about it, think for yourself, and act.

    If a country can nationalize water, gas, electricity and many other common
    goods why can’t our country unable to nationalized OIL? Norway is doing
    well with their resources nationalized. Marx, Friedman, Adamn Smith and
    Henry George agree more or less on one thing:”Land Tax”. Marx was a
    communist, George, Adamn and Friedman were laissez faire capitalists but
    for some reasons they believe anything created and provided by

    A socialist has an horizon comparable to that of an ant:
    “Look, there’s a social barrier, citizen, can you see it? -Vote for us. We
    can fix that.”
    While fixing they will cause many new barriers and enslavements because
    that’s the nature of any regulation. But, they can start to fix things
    again which turns people on again… @ (vicious circle).

    What counts though is the global and antiseptic view on things AND beeing
    social is your beer as an individual not that of a government.

    *Will the Koch Brothers buy the next election?*

    Before we decide Republican or Democrat, do your own research. REAL
    research. Read who is donating money to campaigns, who manages those funds,
    where do the funds go. Who’s setting up fake web sites to fool voters. What
    corporations are donating (investing) in specific political campaigns. Easy
    reading? Absolutely not. It’s made to confuse American’s, it’s made to so
    smart people have no idea who’s buying American votes. Now you have no
    excuse.

    I don’t know anything about these Koch brothers, but much of what is said
    about them, seem to come from the jews and their powerful media, so we have
    to verify the Khabr (news, narrations) that comes from the Fasiqeen
    (immoral, disobedient sinners), lest we harm others in ignorance.

    But from my understanding, and this is only my opinion with a limited
    information about what is going on. Then I think it is more likely that
    this is a battle between the rich powerful ashkenazi jews (illuminati,
    communists, atheists, liberals) and these rich american non-jew families
    that are left, who have not yet been devoured by the jews or fallen to them.

    So why so much blame on these men, when it is the jews who run the usury
    banks and are devouring the sustenance of mankind?

    Never trust the jew media, ever. Look at how they made everyone believe
    9/11 was done by Muslims, while it was done by them.

    While the perspective in this film is somewhat skewed. These are exactly
    the same tactics used by St. Joseph’s mining company and the I.L.A.
    (International Lead Association). They infiltrated into government and
    academia to promote the use of lead in water systems, discourage any health
    concerns and ultimately destroy the public movement against lead use which
    started in the New York popular press way back in the 1880’s. It wasn’t
    until 1986 that the clean air and water act prohibited the use of lead in
    water because it causes learning disabilities, developmental problems, and
    brain cancer. Yet we still have hospitals bearing their name all over the
    country. Many water systems still contain lead galvanized components and
    continue to impact the health of people. If we really want to challenge
    them, we need to find a way not to need what products they have monopoly
    control over. Basically, we each need more efficient living situations,
    ideally net-zero living (no external power). Also growing our own food, if
    we do not need their money to survive then it counts for nothing in terms
    of power. Regardless, this sustainable alternative is the only solution to
    the problems arising from the great acceleration and several global mega
    trends. Global warming is just one facet in this picture.

    OutlawedSpank said this film was propaganda… He was probably just
    trolling, but I feel that this film does a big disservice to the cause it’s
    trying to serve by mixing elements of blatant propaganda and smear job with
    evidence backed valid points.
    The efect is the discreditation of those valid points that, if presented by
    themselves would have been irrefutable.
    For instance:
    They show how the Kochs are influencing the public oppinion and the
    government to get their way, and then bash them for not helping the “home
    owners who’s homes have been foreclosed on”… What the hell has that got
    to do with anything?
    Oh… they have that many houses and poor people have none… they are bad
    bad people because they don’t help out and keep all their money for
    themselves, and want to make more money…
    That’s some sympathy alienating propaganda right there. A lot of people
    will feel like identifying with them. They’ll think “What’s wrong with
    being a little selfish?”
    The point of this film shouldn’t be that they are being selfish, but that
    they abuse (and are allowed to abuse) a lot of the power that their money
    gives them. That’s the problem.
    They are sick. They are addicted to money and power. And that’s by no means
    a singular case (as, again, this film eludes to). This addiction is
    omnipresent all over in our society, especially in the higher wealth
    echelons. However, the entire stucture of our society is to blame for this
    affliction, and it’s up to everybody to try and change it. Demonizing an
    addict for being an addict is rarely productive…

    I’m even starting to doubt the good intentions of this video. It actually
    helps the Kochs get the sympathy of some of the people that used to hate
    them, just because of the virulence and occasional irrationality of this
    film…
