I joined the Marine Corps on my 17th birthday and, being of that age, was susceptible to that sort of programming (aka brainwashing) and it shows mostly in how I respond to superciliousness and 'niceness' when they cause a 'PC' type human to have difficulty with a truth that may show some negative qualities of a human or other thing. I'm not all that bright, even for a Human, but have learned to view us from an external physical perspective. Alas, this perspective cannot be explained but must be learned by building an adequate physical reality in our heads and stepping out into that perceptual physical reality and turning and viewing Human Reality, our common collective delusion, and also our actual circumstances vis-a-vis the necessities of the physical world. We are hierarchically segregated, psychopath dominated, cannibalistically parasitic monkeys whose most salient species characteristics are highly organised swarm behavior and the cannibalistic mass murder of our own conspecifics. We parasitize our own genepool. Of the animals who have ever roamed Earth, we are unique in being parasites upon our own kind. We live in systems, identity groups. Most such groups are sessile in one locus, but some wander as infiltratative parasites who can take on any superficial identity. Read about "Domestication Syndrome" and see that we fit the entire list of characteristics including the significantly shrunken cranium (~200ccm for Homosap). When organised psychopathy emerged sometime >50KY ago in Northern Africa, it was (and is) unstoppable. All other forms of Human social organization including our superiors, Homo neanderthalensis, we wiped out. The psychopaths domesticated us and our craniums shrunk (we selectively kill those disobedient to Authority) and the psychopathic parasite is replenished from us, the parasitised herd with our shrunken cranuims, lowering our fitness a little every generation over thousands of generations (1000 years = ~42 Homosap generations). Our cranium lost ~50,000 generations of cranial expansion in about 800 generations. Much of this was our wiping out all of our larger brained neighbors. We seem to have acquired a touch of the Neandertal genepool and my guess is that if we could tell the gender of the Neandertal donors, we would find them all to be female and not voluntary donors. Such is our way. But Humans can live happily in such a world because Humans are capable of, for example, being violently opposed to abortion and wildly pro-war in the same brain, or, averring to having no trust whatsoever in the honesty of one's government but believing every statement that same government issues. This is what makes parasitic, psychopathic dominance possible, the delusion that Homosap is a 'thinking' animal. And the few specimens actually capable of something akin to 'thinking' are almost universally hated by the parasite because thought is their greatest enemy if not made confused and fed bad data. It will destroy them. A new parasitic ruling group will then emerge from the herd. We're not very complicated, really, when you see us shorn of delusional human 'meaning'. We are a highly invasive and destructive species with, currently, no justification for our continued existence. We must change our own species specific behavior before we sink much lower in capacity or, if nothing else can kill us, our own ongoing mental degeneration will. Continually selectively removing certain alleles from a population is how we turn a wolf into a chihuahua. And how we turn a Human into an obedient Chimp.
My project is a public service that I am using to become familiar with Wikipedia. It involves adding the elements below to the Charles G. Koch page:
For profit activities edit
For a balanced view of Mr. Koch, Truthout's Greg Palast reports that, "In the 1980s, Charles Koch was found to have pilfered about $3 worth of crude from Stanlee Ann Mattingly's oil tank in Oklahoma. Here's the weird part. Koch was (and remains) the 14th richest man on the planet, worth about $14 billion. Stanlee Ann was a dirt-poor Osage Indian.
Stanlee Ann wasn't Koch's only victim. According to secret tape recordings of a former top executive of his company, Koch Industries, the billionaire demanded that oil tanker drivers secretly siphon a few bucks worth of oil from every tank attached to a stripper well on the Osage Reservation where Koch had a contract to retrieve crude.
Koch, according to the tape, would "giggle" with joy over the records of the theft. Koch's own younger brother Bill ratted him out, complaining that, in effect, brothers Charles and David cheated him out of his fair share of the looting, which totaled over three-quarters of a billion dollars from the native lands.
The FBI filmed the siphoning with hidden cameras, but criminal charges were quashed after quiet objections from Republican senators."
Read an interview with William Koch, Charles' brother, on CBS News detailing the above and mentioning that, in the subsequent investigation, 20 of Koch's "gaugers" testified under oath that stealing was company policy directly from the top [1]. This last is separate from William's testimony.
