    The Koch Brothers are demonic maggots. I will do my best to not support their businesses and I will spread the word.

    I just saw a facebook post saying that the Koch bros own Freedom Industries– the company that recently polluted water in West Virginia. Is this true?

    • Roberta

      Read Bloomberg Businessweek JAN 3O 2014 report written by Paul Barrett titled “Who Runs Freedom Industries? West Virginia’s Chemical Spill Mystery” to find the link to Georgia-Pacific owned by Charles and David Koch…

    Hello, My friend said that the Koch bros own Target stores. Is that true?
    Thank you,

    I know the only people that would be hurt by boycotting these products will be the employees. We need takeover from the top down.

    Maybe we could get a list of the companies owned directly or indirectly by George Soros. Since he invests 10 times as much as the Koch brothers. But he is determined to bring down this country.

    • c.c.

      George soros is the enemy and this military family will ALWAYS support the Koch Brothers!!! We believe in keeping people employed and protecting THIS GREAT NATION FROM progressives!!!!!

      • toni

        You should know that the Koch bros. are only concerned with themselves. You’ll be sorry to see what this great country will look like for our children and grandchildren if they have their way, or don’t you care?

      • Guy Innewyork

        A military family supporting Koch Industries? You might as well call yourselves Saudi mercenaries, b/c Koch is to oil and oil development, as Skippy is to peanut butter.

    • jack matias

      How about Warren Buffet and the big train derailment in west virgina a while back. and all the companies he owns

    Please post a list of good alternatives next to it – please — we need to have alternatives. I’m sure they exist, especially companies that are trying to do the right thing for the world. Ty

  10. Dennis

    The Kock brothers don’t own the all the companies on that list. They may be investors in them, but so are milllions of other people.

  11. Mitzi Perkins

    The article doesn’t mention nestle. Why?

  12. gerry

    The liberal way , penalize the successful to help themselves. A boycott would only hurt American workers and have no effect on the Koch brothers.

      • Unfortunately, Gerry is right! The Kochroach Bros. are so filthy rich, that a boycott will not hurt them at all. A boycott will make them fire/layoff employees, while they reap the tax benefits of the boycott as a “business loss”. (They win either way). This is one beast that cannot be slain.

      Gerry,

      While you’re likely busy congratulating yourself on your defense of “the working elite,” you need to step back and understand that they own a sizeable portion of industry in many fields. They didn’t build it. They were born into it. And the result is that (a) they can now buy elections because of citizens united, (b) they have enough liquidity to create “not for profits” and false “grass roots” organizations to spread propaganda that supports their businesses and this is also well documented, and (c) they’ve created a gridlock on several industries that effectively stops the “creation” of any other people from becoming what you’re calling “successful,” meaning they’ve made it near impossible for any competing businesses to rise up.

      So, I’ll repeat somebody else’s question..

      What exactly IS your “solution” to the problems they create? Because those problems are there and tied directly to those people/organizations you’re defending.

  13. John

    Thank you! I just printed out this list!

    I will go out of my way to choose any and all of these products! As soon as the snow is clear, I need gas…and now I know to get it at a Chevron station!

  14. Thank you for this list. Now I know what I will be buying so I can help support these men who dare to stand up to wanna’-be-communists.

    We threw a lamb to the Lyons with Obama , We should have went to hell with a glass of ice and expected it not to melt. The government is always going to waste our billions and the rich will always bank our billions.
    But yet the poor will always have the power but do nothing with it.
    What if 300 million American’s quit there job today. Problem solved .
    When you say not buying this or that product is only going to hurt the American worker, isn’t the lazy American worker the problem?
    lets get real here , an American booming economy only means that a lot of poor class people are working hard to make money for billionaires to bank and government to waste.

  16. A lot of liberal comments.To bad they can’t get their heads out of their — and see that people need jobs and they bitchen only serves to hurt the working class.To bad they can’t see it.

    • Nola Martin

      So I guess if Hitler was still alive and hiring soldiers, you’d yell “Bravo” at him? Those jobs won’t be worth much when the practices of the Koch brothers kill us all!

    • them giving billions to politicians so politicians make laws to favor them doesnt create jobs no mater what kind of trickle down bullshit they have told fox news to tell you

    • way to go because might makes right! And citizens banning together to say “hey you can’t pollute our waterways because the fines are cheaper then maintenance on your pipeline, and you can’t blow up our children in our driveway because the lawsuit is cheaper then fixing your leaking gas pipeline, and you can’t process chicken at a plant in Ohio using 75% illegal immigrants because we will hurt your income by boycotting your products” that to you is communism. I do not think that word means what you think it means. You must just be out for a troll.

    • dgolightly519

      I guess we should have kept our mouths shut on child labor, appalling factory conditions, etc…etc… etc, too. Progressive ‘liberals’ “bitchen” is the *only* reason you have a decent work week and are paid above the 5$ an hour certain candidates want us to return to.

      Ever hear of inflation? It exists mostly because of greed. Deflation? Nope, because it has never happened, regulated industry or not. Imagine your life at a much lower wage. Or, if your a business owner… imagine having to compete with larger companies without the regulations “liberals” have put in place.

      Now go ahead and try to convince me of how we’ve hurt the working class. Only you can’t state things that unaffiliated economists have already debunked or talking points that have already been debunked. I’ll wait.

      • You must be some dumb ass trump supporter who facts don’t matter.

      • Denise T.

        There is deflation, but it hidden. My sis in law worked for a big pharma company who like others laid and continue to lay off hundreds of people so their execs can show a profit and get their bonuses. She was given the extra work of people they fired not only without extra pay, but for a reduced income. Her salary plus bonus was reduced to the explanation that her bonus was now part of the salary amount she was already getting. In other words, no bonus and if things don’t go well she will get the ‘bonus’ part of her salary reduced or taken away. Yet another way for huge business to screw their employees out of pay, while execs get raises and bonuses.

    • Kit

      If I boycott say Angel soft toilet paper I’m still going to buy toilet paper, so how is this choice going to result in lost jobs? How is the working class going to deal with increasingly extreme weather due to climate change? They will fare much worse than the Koch Brothers.

    Judith wrote: In the 60s, Nestlé was purportedly involved in sending defective IUDs to Third World Countries. Can you confirm that? Further, do the Koch Brothers have connections to Nestlé now and/or did Koch Brothers have anything to do with the purported IUD scandal then?

    There will ALWAYS be corruptible politician’s getting money from Millionaire/billionaire’s whether it be legal or illegal(Clinton’s). I will listen to the interview on FOX tonight and see what all the hype is over. One thing I do know is that all the listed companies that are either owned or whatever by the Koch Brothers went belly up look at all the people that would be out of work. We have enough of that now!!! And yes to the person that posted about the LAZY AMERICAN’s that don’t want to work but rather lay around and “Suck off the Government (Democrat)…. with all their FREE STUFF!! I would have Loved for my children to have had a FREE EDUCATION but it is not realistic, someone has to pay for it (WORKING TAX PAYERS). Maybe more affordable would just be great!! No One is going to go back and w/o my kids Student Loans. People wake up 1 we need to get back to the basics of putting God back into our schools and making our country what it was intended to be.

    The Koch brothers are open-borders globalists who support illegal invasion for the cheap labor — with education costs, food stamp costs, etc. borne by the middle-class taxpaying citizens of course. That’s why I boycott them.

  24. I admire your writeup, keep it up!!

  25. Michelle

    I will boycott ALL !
    Koch brothers are anti American awful people
    Shame on the close company you keep

  26. gerald1906

    I don’t begrudge the Kochs because of their business success. I begrudge them because they have made money mostly by screwing and killing people.

    Fred Koch, their father, made his fortune helping to build refineries for Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler. So the Nazi war machine moved by gas and oil during WWII was directly or indirectly fueled by Koch Industries.

    Consequently, their roots are founded in massive human genocide and mass murder, and they are still heavily funded by Government funds.

    In addition to Adolf’s and Joe’s Government Money, the stupid tax payers in America are constantly funneling tax dollars to the Kochs. For example, that greatly needed oil reserve, that GW Bush screwed you on, gave about $25 billion of tax payer money to the Kochs to take 200 million barrels of oil out of the ground, AND THEN PUT IT BACK INTO THE GROUND. HELLO!!!!
