Business Week - Book Review: Power, Inc. by David Rothkopf

A former deputy under secretary of Commerce in the Clinton administration, Rothkopf has written two previous books on the power elite and is a reliable source of sound bites about U.S. foreign policy. But readers expecting a campaign-season analysis of current affairs will be disappointed, at least for the first two-thirds of Power, Inc., as they realize that the story of Kare the Goat is only the beginning of a breathless account of the last 700 years of Western political history.

The linkage of one group to another group to another group is byzantine.  Justinian would be so proud of the Koch brothers!  Lest we forget ... did we already know this ... good to be reminded!

WGBH: In Wis. Union Battle, Focus On Billionaire Twins 2/25/2011

Missed this story ... ancient history by now ... but the Koch brothers continue to haunt us!  Click the Title!

From the source 2/25 -

The Koch brothers give millions to such groups, including the Americans for Prosperity, which has a Stand With Walker website and TV ad.

"The eyes of the entire nation are on you today," Tim Phillips, the group's president, told a recent pro-Walker rally.

The Koch brothers provided the seed money for Americans For Prosperity a decade ago — and more than $1 million overall.

"Five years ago, my brother Charles and I provided the funds to start the Americans for Prosperity," David Koch said at an AFP rally in 2009. "And it's beyond my wildest dreams how AFP has grown into this enormous organization."
