“We forget…that between 1999 and 2003 that the Koch Industries were hit with $400,000,000 in fines. They were charged with price-fixing. They were charged with things that resulted in criminal convictions for people who worked for them. The story came out that they had been selling materials (for making armaments) to Iran, going around the embargo, violating virtually a dozen U.S. laws, and just saying, “We know we’re in an embargo with Iran, but we’re going to do this anyway. The story’s come out that they made $300,000,000 in over-pricing, over-charging, and over-pumping oil from federal lands. Those stories keep emerging. We start hearing now people surface who worked for the Kochs. We had one of their people come forward—a guy named Phil DuBose—who came out and said that the Kochs developed their own method of cheating, their own method of stealing, and they called it the ‘Koch method.’ And they told their employees how to go about stealing, how to go about cheating with this Koch method, so they should have listened to Daddy (the Koch brothers’ father, Fred Koch, founder of the John Birch Society, who embraced anonymity in his political activity) Thom, that sometimes it’s best to be under the radar because—when you put yourself out there and you live in this humongous glass house—you gotta be really careful.”
