Tucker Carlson has 'compromat' on all these idiots, like 'Gym' Jordan. Who doubts that Jordan is a pedophile? Wrestling coach who had no idea what was going on? come on. Carlson is all up in it, if you will, with the Russians. Probably has some nicely-funded off-shore accounts to show for it. As for America's support of Nazi Germany, the Koch brothers' dad went to Germany in the 30's and built refineries for them. He supported and supplied the German war machine all while Charles and David were home with a very nasty, abusive German nanny (this, from a prize-winning book on big oil and environmental damage, written by a prominent scientist who's name I can't remember). Explains a lot.

Charles Koch was born 1935,David Koch was not even born when his father Fred built Refineries for Hitler, but Fred Koch made his fortune building oil wells and refineries for Stalin. It is in the USSR that Fred picked up his libertarian ideas. For instance, the Soviet Union was on a 100% gold standard, a ruble was worth .98531 grams fine gold, and article 12 of the 1936 Soviet Constitution says, in essence, if you don't work you don't eat.

Fred Koch came back much enamored of the Soviet Union, there were no rules or regulations to restrict business, or how to build and run an economic empire.

Charles was born in 1940 so .... Fred probably did work in Russia but I’m pretty sure he also aided Hitler too- he went to the highest bidder. The nanny was hired and brought over when Fred was in Germany. 1934, he built the Hamburg Refinery. Check him out on Wikipedia.

Fred made his fortune working for Stalin building oil wells and refineries, then he went to work for Hitler, but since Germany doesn't have oil reserves, he built refineries that enable Germany to extract oil from coal, called the Solvent Refinement Coal Processs or SRCP). The U.S. set up a demonstration pilot plant on North Ft Lewis in 1974 and operated it until Reagan became President in 1981, it was run by the Pittsburg and Midway Coal Refinement Company, and it worked but was in competition with the oil companies, and redundent, it was after all a demonstratoin plant, that started during the Saudi Oil Embargo of 1973.

Edit added: Diesels run on oil. The first diesel engine ran on peanut oil. Germany had a production plant at Auschwitz that grew dandelions to extract oil, to run their diesel engines.
