"All of this was plotted out in the 1970s, and we've seen it all play out as the Kochs have built their political empire. The secretiveness, the insanely complex networks of programs to conceal how all the money is being spent, the astroturf, the fake philanthropy: All designed to allow Koch to act as puppeteer for the people he co-opts into being the public, political face of what he wants to be his own government. At the heart of all this is a profound contempt for the public, for democracy, and for all the rubes that have been tricked into this "movement"—which no doubt includes all the politicians they've bought."
