Among those who spoke and laid out plans for the upcoming mid-term elections next year and the Presidential contest in 2016 were tea party puppets like House Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia and failed vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan of Wisconsin. What details did they provide to the right-wing rich? Nobody is saying for sure, but sources close to the gathering — one of two that the Koch brothers host each year to map out the conservative campaign for absolute control say both Cantor and Ryan were “well received” and mapped out plans that they feel will achieve success at the ballot box. New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez, one those anointed as a right winger who has her “head on straight,” also spoke to the gathering at the ultra-expensive Hyatt Regency Tamaya Resort in Bernalillo where hired security blocked off roads and turned away reporters from Albuquerque and national media. The invitation-only event is listed by the Kochs as a gathering to “discuss solutions to our most pressing issues and strategies to promote policies that will help grow our economy, foster free enterprise and create American jobs.” The Kochs, of course, are the primary financial backers of the tea party movement, an interesting irony that two of the nation’s richest men back what is purported to be a “grass roots” movement of “ordinary people.” “The Kochs are a fraud,” former tea party activist Gary Lawson tells Capitol Hill Blue. “They seek to control everything for their rich brethren and they often do so with phony movements.” Ryan and Cantor both have deep ties to the Kochs and flew into New Mexico on a private jet owned by the brothers. Secrecy surrounding the meeting was so tight that Americans for Prosperity, the primary political funding operation of the brothers, claimed it didn’t know anything about the event. Gov. Martinez refused to discuss any details and a spokesman for her office told the Albuquerque Tribune that the state’s governor “attended a private political event at the Tamaya where she gave brief remarks and had casual meetings with several national political leaders, including Majority Leader Eric Cantor and Congressman Paul Ryan.” Albuquerque is now also the home base for longtime Koch consultant Eddie Mahe, who owned The Eddie Mahe Company, the Washington “strategic business consulting company” that created for the core groups that later became FreedomWorks a political operation that was started by former Texas Congressman Dick Armey and spawned the tea party out of another phony grassroots operation. Capitol Hill Blue founder and publisher Doug Thompson worked for Eddie Mahe as a senior communications adviser from 1994-2002. When asked about the meeting, Thompson laughed and said “how the hell would I know? First and foremost, I’m independent media and independent media has no role or use in any activity involving the Kochs.” Enhanced by ZemantaWhen asked if he was invited, Thompson laughed again and responded “no way. I’m the enemy to those folks because I believe power in this nation belongs to the people, not the rich or the right-wing.” ___ Copyright © 2013 Capitol Hill Blue Carl Nemo **== Reply August 10, 2013 at 6:54 am “The invitation-only event is listed by the Kochs as a gathering to “discuss solutions to our most pressing issues and strategies to promote policies that will help grow our economy, foster free enterprise and [create American jobs].” …extract from article my brackets How does this extract compare to a quote from a Forbes linked article concerning the Koch bros.’ true agenda for American workers. ***** “Koch owns a coal company subsidiary with facilities in Green Bay, Manitowoc, Ashland and Sheboygan; six timber plants throughout the state; and a large network of pipelines in Wisconsin.

Post a Comment Mon Aug 12, 2013 7:19 am  untanglingwebs El Supremo Pet Coke Cloud Blows Across Detroit River (VIDEO) The Huffington Post | By Hunter Stuart Posted: 07/31/2013 1:38 pm EDT | Updated: 07/31/2013 6:07 pm EDT Koch Carbon, Koch Petcoke, Pet Coke Cloud Detroit, Petcoke, Petcoke Cloud, Petcoke Video, Petroleum Coke, Green News . A newly surfaced video showing a large black cloud of petroleum coke, also known as "pet coke," blowing across the Detroit River is adding to concerns about a three-story pile of the carbon-based substance that's sitting in storage near the Ambassador Bridge. Watch the video above. "We’ve been told that the pet coke dust issue is being contained, but here is firsthand evidence to the contrary," said Rep. Gary Peters (D-Mich.) in a statement responding to the video, which was filmed in Windsor, Ontario, just across the river from Detroit. The pet coke pile is owned by Koch Carbon, an affiliate of Koch Industries that sells pet coke internationally. A spokesman for Detroit Bulk Storage, the company that Koch Carbon pays to store the product, confirmed to The Windsor Star that the black dust in the video came from the Detroit pile. The spokesman said the pile is normally contained with epoxy, and that the video was filmed when the seal was broken on Saturday in order to load a ship. A Detroit oil refinery owned by Houston-based Marathon Oil has been producing the pet coke since November, following a $2.2 billion renovation that allowed it to process tar sands oil from Alberta province, in Canada. Pet coke is a byproduct of that process, and is sold (often to foreign countries) as a cheaper alternative to coal . Detroit Bulk Storage says that shipments of pet coke to its already-towering pile by the Detroit River have halted, and the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality found that the product doesn't pose a significant public health risk. But residents and politicians remained concerned about the substance, which has been found inside homes of people who live near the pile. Environmentalists point out that pet coke, while cheaper than some traditional fuel sources, is also dirtier. The carbon-based substance produces significantly more carbon dioxide when burned than coal does. Koch Carbon is owned by billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch, who have donated vast sums of money to conservative causes . The largest pet coke trader in the world, Oxbow Corporation, is owned by Charles and David's brother, William Koch, according to the research and advocacy organization, Oil Change International. ) Mon Aug 12, 2013 7:42 am  untanglingwebs El Supremo In the 1990'a The Sugar Law Firm handled an environmental racism case for the NAACP involving the Genesee Power plant that burns the sawdust. They held a "toxic Tour" that covered several contaminated sites. One of these sites was the coal being stored by the railroad along Carpenter Road. The Foss Avenue area around the church was covered in the black coal dust. No matter how hot it got they could not open their windows and the windows were covered with the black dust. The elderly and those with lung diseases suffered the most. Johnny Tucker was the councilman at the time this storage facility won approval but he claimed no knowledge of it's approval. Many people became sick between the coal dust and the sawdust.
