  Or I could send the endless pieces on Obama and his troubles or Haaretz on the new negotiations. I'll skip the torrent of
  Obama pieces (see Politico lead piece today, if you want to catch the full updraft of new conventional wisdom), but include
  Haaretz below from its editorial editor and Teddy Kollek's former spokesman:

  The direct negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians
  have preconditions - dictated by Israel.
  By At.tiye Elder: Tags: Israel news M:ddist East peace
  Two years ago, a basketball tournament was held at Tel Aviv University with the participation of student teams from 14
  cOuntries, including a Palestinian team from the occupied territories. The games were purportedly held "without
  preconditions," and every team put its best players on the court and aimed to win.
  But unsurprisingly, the Shin Ben security service permitted only seven Palestinian players, including bench players, to
  enter Israel. Some of the key players on the team were compelled to stay at home. After several losses (by 30 to 40
  points), when it was the Palestinians turn to face a team from one of the Israeli colleges, their coach announced that he
  had decided to spare his players another humiliation, and requested that the game be canceled.
  The illuminating movie "Friendship Games," to be shown tonight on the Yes Docu channel (directed by Ram Levy, along
  with Ibtisam IVIara'ana, Duki Dror and Yoav Shamir), documents the tournament, which was the initiative of Ed Peskowitz,
  an American Jew and co-owner of the Atlanta Hawks basketball team in the NBA. The camera follows the Israeli coach to
  the Palestinian locker room. After a long while, he tells his players that in order to even out the teams, two of them will join
  the other side. He tells two of the Israeli bench players, including one known as Fats(); to don the shirts of the Palestinian
  team. The game ends with a decisive victory for the Israeli team and a strong sense of missed opportunity..
  The direct negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians, like the basketball game, have preconditions. Not the
  conditions demanded by the Palestinians, but conditions dictated by Israel. The refusal to freeze Israeli building in East
  Jerusalem is a precondition, just like the demand to freeze it. The refusal to resume negotiations from the point where
  talks between the previous prime minister, Ehud Olmert, and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas left off after the
  Annapolis conference is no less a precondition than the demand to resume talks from square one.
  The head referee, the president of the United States, has twisted the arms of his colleagues in the Quartet and is dragging
  Abbas to Washington. Barack °barna decided that the negotiations will be held without any commitment regarding
  building in East Jerusalem, and will be opened without even a declaration of principles stating that the talks will be held on
  the basis of a general formula, like peace and security for Israel and a state along the 1967 borders for the Palestinians.
  It's time to jump into the fountain in Rabin Square and cheer: The Palestinians have been shafted!
  If Benjamin Netanyahu's aim is to play around as much as possible with the ball, and sometimes kick the opponent, then
  he can really chalk up another victory. But Israel's success in the negotiations, like the success of the student team in the
  tournament, is not measured by the terms "victory" or "defeat." What is victory over a weak Palestinian team worth, if it
  was won in friendly games that ended with virtually no interaction between the participants? What is a political process
  with the Palestinians worth if it erodes Abbas' standing and leads nowhere?
  What have we to gain from humiliating our partner before his constituency on the way to the negotiating table? If Israel's
  approach on every one of the core issues is that winning is everything, there's no point in bothering so many VIPs with
  another unnecessary summit. Let's assume that we'll succeed, with the help of the Jewish power around Obama, to twist
  Abbas' arm some more and extract, for example, an agreement in which he concedes sovereignty over the Temple
  Mount. How many hours would such an agreement last?
  All we need is a few more "victories" like the invitation to the launch of direct negotiations, "without preconditions," and
  we'll lose our last partners to a settlement that will prevent Israel from turning into an apartheid state or a Palestinian state
  (the binational model is a nightmare, as far as I'm concerned).
  What will we do if Abbas announces that he's had enough of losing in purportedly friendly games, and that he's decided
  the time has come to step down? Will we declare another victory and invite Hamas leader Khaled Meshal and Iranian
  president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to the party?

  COVERT OPERATIONS
  The billionaire brothers who are waging a war against Obama.
  by Jane Mayer
  <http://www.newYo com/magazi ics/jane mayer,_,earc ?contributorName=ane%20maver>
  AUGUST 30, 2010
  David H. Koch in 1996. He and his brother Charles are lifelong libertarians and
  have quietly given more than a hundred million dollars to right-wing causes.
  On May 17th, a black-tie audience at the Metropolitan Opera House applauded as a
  tall, jovial-looking billionaire took the stage. It was the seventieth annual
  spring gala of American Ballet Theatre, and David H. Koch was being celebrated
  for his generosity as a member of the board of trustees; he had recently donated
  $2.5 million toward the company's upcoming season, and had given many millions
  before that. Koch received an award while flanked by two of the gala's
  co-chairs, Blaine Trump, in a peach-colored gown, and Caroline Kennedy
  Schlossberg, in emerald green. Kennedy's mother, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, had
  been a patron of the ballet and, coincidentally, the previous owner of a Fifth

  Avenue apartment that Koch had bought, in 1995, and then sold, eleven years
  later, for thirty-two million dollars, having found it too small.
  The gala marked the social ascent of Koch, who, at the age of seventy, has
  become one of the city's most prominent philanthropists. In 2008, he donated a
  hundred million dollars to modernize Lincoln Center's New York State Theatre
  building, which now bears his name. He has given twenty million to the American
  Museum of Natural History, whose dinosaur wing is named for him. This spring,
  after noticing- the decrepit state of the fountains outside the Metropolitan
  Museum of Art, Koch pledged at least ten million dollars for their renovation.
  He is a trustee of the museum, perhaps the most coveted social prize in the
  city, and serves on the board of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, where,
  after he donated more than forty million dollars, an endowed chair and a
  research center were named for him.
  One dignitary was conspicuously absent from the gala: the event's third honorary
  co-chair, Michelle Obama. Her office said that a scheduling conflict had
  prevented her from attending. Yet had the 'First Lady shared the stage with Koch
  it might have created an awkward tableau. In Washington, Koch is best known as
  part of a family that has repeatedly funded stealth attacks on the federal
  government, and on the Obama Administration in particular.
  With his brother Charles, who is seventy-four, David Koch owns virtually all of
  Koch Industries, a conglomerate, headquartered in Wichita, Kansas, whose annual
  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770951 Date: 08/31/2015

  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770951 Date: 08/31/2015
  revenues are estimated to be a hundred billion dollars. The company has grown
  spectacularly since their father, Fred, died, in 1967, and the brothers took
  charge. The Kochs operate oil refineries in Alaska, Texas, and Minnesota, and
  control some four thousand miles of pipeline. Koch Industries owns Brawny paper
  towels, Dixie cups, Georgia-ea ific lumber, Stainmaster carpet, and Lycra, among
  other products. Forbes ranks it as the second-largest private company in the
  country, after Cargill, and its consistent profitability has made David and
  Charles Koch—who, years ago, bought out two other brothers—among the richest men
  in America. Their combined fortune of thirty-five billion dollars is exceeded
  only by those of Bill Gates and Warren Buffett.
  The Kochs are longtime libertarians who believe in drastically lower personal
  ' and corporate taxes, minimal social services for the needy, and much less
  oversight of industry—especially environmental regulation. These views dovetail
  with the brothers' corporate interests. In a study released this spring, the
  University of Massachusetts at Amherst's Political Economy Research Institute
  named Koch Industries one of the top ten air polluters in the United States. And
  Greenpeace issued a report identifying the company as a "kingpin of climate
  science denial." The report showed that, from 2005 to 2008, the Kochs vastly
  outdid ExxonMobil in giving money to organizations fighting legislation related
  to climate change, underwriting a huge network of foundations, think tanks, and
  political front groups. Indeed, the brothers have funded opposition campaigns
  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770951 Date: 08/31/2015

  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770951 Date: 08/31/2015
  against so many Obama Administration policies—from health-care reform to the
  economic-stimulus program—that, in political circles, their ideological network
  is known as the Kochtopus.
  In a statement, Koch Industries said that the Greenpeace report "distorts the
  environmental record of our companies." And David Koch, in a recent, admiring
  article about him in New York, protested that the "radical press" had turned his
  family into "whipping boys," and had exaggerated its influence on American
  politics. But Charles Lewis, the founder of the Center for Public Integrity, a
  . nonpartisan watchdog group, said, "The Koons are on a whole different level.
  There's no one else who has spent this much money. The sheer dimension of it is
  what sets them apart. They have a pattern of lawbreaking, political
  manipulation, and obfuscation. I've been in Washington since Watergate, and I've
  never seen anything like it. They are the Standard Oil of our :times."
  few weeks after the Lincoln Center gala, the advocacy wing of the Americans for
  Prosperity Foundation—an organization that David Koch started, in 2004—held a
  different kind of gathering. Over the July
  . 4th weekend, a summit called Texas
  Defending the American Dream took place in a chilly hotel ballroom in Austin.
  Though Koch freely promotes his philanthropic ventures, he did not attend the
  summit, and his name was not in evidence. And on this occasion the audience was
  roused not by a dance performance but by a series of speakers denouncing
  President Barack Obama. Peggy Venable, the organizer of the summit, warned that
  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770951 Date: 08/31/2015

  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770951 Date: 08/31/2015
  Administration officials "have a socialist vision for this country."
  Five hundred people attended the summit, which served, in part, as a training
  session for Tea Party activists in Texas. An advertisement cast the event as a
  populist uprising against vested corporate power. "Today, the voices of .average
  Americans are being drowned out by lobbyists and special interests," it said.
  "But you can do something about it:" The pitch made no mention of its corporate
  funders. The White House has expressed frustration that such sponsors have
  largely eluded public notice. David Axelrod, Obama'-s senior adviser, said, "What
  they don't say is that, in part, this is a grassroots citizens' movement brought
  to you by a bunch of oil billionaires."
  In April, 2009, Melissa Cohlmia, a company spokesperson, denied that the Kochs
  had direct links to the Tea. Party, saying that Americans for Prosperity is "an
  independent organization and Koch. companies do not in any way direct their
  activities." Later, she issued a statement: "No funding has been provided by
  Koch companies, the Koch foundations, or Charles Koch or David Koch specifically
  to support the tea parties." David Koch told New York; "I've never been to a
  tea-party event. No one representing the tea party has ever even approached me."
  At the lectern in Austin, however, Venable-a longtime political operative who
  draws a salary from Americans for Prosperity, and who has worked for Koch-funded
  political groups since 1994-spoke less warily. "We love what the Tea Parties are
  doing, because that's how we're going to take back America!" she declared, as
  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770951 Date: 08/31/2015

  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770951 Date: 08/31/2015
  the crowd cheered. In a subsequent interview, sh described herself as an early
  member of the movement, joking, "I was part of the Tea Party before it was
  cool!" She explained that the role of Americans for Prosperity was to help
  "educate" Tea Party activists on policy details, and to give them "next-step
  training" after their rallies, so that their political energy could be
  channelled "more effectively." And she noted that Americans for Prosperity had
  provided Tea Party activists with lists of elected officials to target. She said
  of the Kochs, "They're certainly our people. David's the chairman of our board.
  I've certainly met with them, and I'm very appreciative of what they do."
  Venable honored several Tea Party "citizen leaders" at the summit. The Texas
  branch of Americans for Prosperity gave its Blogger of the Year Award to a young
  woman named Sibyl West. On June 14th, West, writing on her site, described Obama
  as the "cokehead in chief." In an online thread, West speculated that the
  President was exhibiting symptoms of "demonic possession (aka schizophrenia,
  etc.)." The summit featured several paid speakers, including Janine Turner, the
  actress best known for her role on the television series "Northern Exposure."
  She declared, "They don't want our children to know about their rights. They
  don't want our children to know about a God!"
  During a catered lunch, Venable introduced Ted Cruz, a former solicitor general
  of Texas, who told the crowd that Obama was "the most radical President ever to
  occupy the Oval Office," and had hidden from voters a secret agenda—"the
  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770951 Date: 08/31/2015

  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770951 Date: 08/31/2015
  government taking over our economy and our lives." Countering °barna, Cruz
  proclaimed, was "the epic fight. of our generation!" As the crowd rose to its
  feet and cheered, he quoted the defiant words of a Texan at the Alamo: "Victory,
  or death!"
  Americans for Prosperity has worked closely with the Tea Party since the
  movement's inception. In the weeks before the first Tax Day protests, in April,
  2009, Americans for Prosperity hosted a Web site offering supporters "Tea Party
  Talking Points." The Arizona branch urged people to send tea bags to Obama; the
  Missouri branch urged members to sign up for "Taxpayer Tea Party Registration"
  and provided directions to nine protests. The group continues to stoke the
  rebellion. The North Carolina branch recently launched a "Tea Party Finder" Web
  site, advertised as "a hub for all the Tea Parties in North Carolina."
  The anti-government fervor infusing the 2010 elect-ions represents a political
  triumph for the Kochs. By giving money to "educate," fund, and organize Tea
  Party protesters, they have helped turn their private agenda into a mass
  movement. Bruce Bartlett, a conservative economist and a historian, who once
  worked at the National Center for Policy Analysis, a Dallas-based think tank
  that the Kochs fund, said, "The problem with the whole libertarian movement is
  that it's been all chiefs and no Indians. There haven't been any actual people,
  .like voters, who give a crap about it. So the problem for the Kochs has been
  trying to create a movement." With the emergence of the Tea Party, he said,
  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770951 Date: 08/31/2015

  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770951 Date: 08/31/2015
  "everyone suddenly sees that for the first time there are Indians out
  there—people who can provide real ideological power." The Kochs, he said, are
  "trying to shape and control and channel the populist uprising into their own
  policies."
  A Republican campaign consultant who has done research on behalf of Charles and
  David Koch said of the Tea Party, "The Koch brothers gave the money that founded
  it. It's like they put the seeds in the around. Then the rainstorm comes, and
  the frogs come out of the mud—and they're our candidates!"
  The Kochs and their political operatives declined requests for interviews.
  Instead, a prominent New York public-relations executive who is close with the
  Kochs put forward two friends: George Pataki, the former governor of New York,
  and Mortimer Zuckerman, the publisher and real-estate magnate. Pataki, a
  Republican who received campaign donations from David Koch, called him "a
  patriot who cares deeply about his country." Zuckerman praised David's "gentle
  decency" and the "range of his public interests."
  The Republican campaign consultant said of the family's political activities,
  "To call them under the radar is an understatement. They are underground!"
  Another former Koch adviser said, "They're smart: This right-wing, redneck stuff
  works for them. They see this as a way to get things done without getting dirty.
  themselves." Rob Stein, a Democratic political strategist who has studied the
  conaervative movement's finances, said that the Kochs are "at the epicenter of

  the anti-Obama movement. But it's not just about Obama. They would have done the
  same to Hillary Clinton. They did the same with Bill Clinton. They are out to
  destroy progressivism."
  ddly enough, the fiercely capitalist Koch family owes part of its fortune to
  Joseph Stalin. Fred Koch was the son of a Dutch printer who settled in Texas and
  ran a weekly newspaper. Fred attended PLI.T., where he earned a degree in
  chemical engineering. In 1927, he invented a more efficient process for
  converting oil into gasoline, but, according to family lore, America's major oil
  companies regarded him as a threat and shut him out of the industry. Unable to
  succeed at home, Koch found work in the Soviet Union. In the nineteen-thirties,
  his company trained Bolshevik engineers and helped Stalin's regime set up
  fifteen modern oil refineries. Over time, however, Stalin brutally purged
  several of Koch's Soviet colleagues. Koch was deeply affected by the experience,
  and regretted his collaboration. He returned to the U.S. In the headquarters of
  his company, Rock Island Oil & Refining, in Wichita, he kept photographs aimed
  at proving that some of those Soviet refineries had•been destroyed in the Second
  World War. Gus diZerega, a former friend of Charles Koch, recalled, "As the
  Soviets became a stronger military power, Fred felt a certain amount of guilt at
  having helped build them up. I think it bothered him a lot."
  In 1958, Fred Koch became one of the original members of the John Birch Society,
  the arch-conservative group known, in part, for a highly skeptical view of
  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770951 Date: 08/31/2015

  governance and for spreading fears of a Communist takeover. Members considered
  President Dwight D. Eisenhower to be a Communist agent. In a self-published
  broadside, Koch claimed that "the Communists have infiltrated both the Democrat '
  and Republican Parties." He wrote admiringly of Benito Mussolini's suppression
  of Communists in Italy, and disparagingly of the American civil-rights movement.
  "The colored man looms large in the Communist plan to take over America," he
  warned. Welfare was.a secret blot to attract rural blacks to cities, where they
  would foment "a vicious race war." In a 1963 speech that prefigures the Tea
  Party's talk of a secret socialist plot, Koch predicted that Communists would
  "infiltrate the highest offices of government in the U.S. until the President is
  a Communist, unknown to the rest of us:"
  Koch tarried Mary Robinson, the daughter of a Missouri physician, and they had
  four sons: Freddie, Charles, and twins, David and William. John Damgard, the
  president of the Futures Industry Association, was David's schoolmate and
  friend. He recalled that Fred Koch was "a real John Wayne type." Koch emphasized
  rugged pursuits, taking his sons big-game hunting in Africa, and requiring them
  1-o do -Farm labor at the family ranch. The Kochs lived in a stone mansion on a
  large compound across from Wichita's country club; in the summer, the boys could
  hear their friends splashing in the pool, but they were not allowed to join
  them. "By instilling a work ethic in me at an early age, my father did me a b
  favor, although it didn't seem like a favor back then," Charles has written. "By
  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770951 Date: 08/31/2015

  the time I was eight, he made sure work occupied most of my spare time." David
  Koch recalled that his father also indoctrinated the boys politically. "He was
  constantly speaking to us children about what was wrong with government," he
  told Brian Doherty, an editor of the libertarian magazine Reason, and the author
  of "Radicals for Capitalism," a 2007 history of the libertarian movement. "It's
  something I grew up with—a fundamental point of view that big government was
  bad, and imposition of government controls on our lives and economic fortunes
  was not good."
  David attended Deerfield Academy, in Massachusetts, and Charles was sent to
  military school. Charles, David, and William all earned engineering degrees at
  their father's alma meter, M.I.T.,, and later joined the family company. Charles
  eventually assumed control, with David as his deputy; William's career at the
  company was less successful. Freddie went to Harvard and studied playwriting at
  the Yale School of Drama. His father reportedly disapproved of him, and punished
  him financially. (Freddie, through a spokesperson, denied this.)
  In 1967, after Fred Koch died, of a heart attack, Charles renamed the business
  Koch Industries, in honor of his father. Fred Koch's will made his sons
  extraordinarily wealthy. David Koch joked about his good fortune in a 2003
  speech to alumni at Deerfield, where, after pledging twenty-five million •
  dollars, he was made the school's sole "lifetime trustee." He said, "You might
  ask: How does David Koch happen to have the wealth to be so generous? Well, let

  me tell you a story. It all, started when I was a little boy. One day, my father
  gave me an apple. I soon sold it for five dollars and bought two apples and sold
  them for ten. Then I bought four apples and sold them for twenty. Well, this
  went on day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year,
  until my father died and left me three hundred million dollars!"
  David and Charles had absorbed their father's conservative politics, but they
  did not share all his views, according to diZerega, who befriended Charles in
  the mid-sixties, after meeting him while browsing in a John Birch Society
  bookstore in Wichita. Charles eventually invited him to the Kochs' mansion, to
  participate in an informal political-discussion group. "It was pretty clear that
  Charles thought some of the Birch .Scciety was bullshit," diZerega recalled.
  DiZerega, who has lost touch with Charles, eventually abandoned right-wing
  views, and became a political-science professor. He credits Charles with opening
  his mind to political philosophy, which set him on the path to academia; Charles
  is one of three people to whom he dedicated his first book. But diZerega
  believes that the Koch brothers have followed a wayward intellectual trajectory,
  transferring their father's paranoia about Soviet Communism to a distrust of the
  U.S. government, and seeing its expansion, beginning with the New Deal, as a
  tyrannical threat to freedom. In an essay, posted on Beliefnet, diZerega writes,
  "As state socialism failed . . . the target for many within these organizations
  shifted to any kind of regulation at all. 'Socialism' kept being defined
  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770951 Date: 08/31/2015

  downwards."
  Members• of the John Birch Society developed an interest in a school of Austrian
  economists who promoted free-market ideals. Charles and David Koch were
  particularly influenced by the work of Friedrich von Hayek, the author of "The
  Road to Serfdom" (1944), which argued that centralized government planning led,
  inexorably, to totalitarianism. Hayek's belief in unfettered capitaiisth has
  proved inspirational to many conservatives, and to anti-Soviet dissidents;
  lately, Tea Party supporters have championed his work. In June, the talk-radio
  host Glenn Beck, who has supported the Tea Party rebellion, promoted "The Road
  to Serfdom" on his show; the paperback soon became a No. 1 best-seller on
  Amazon. (Beck appears to be a fan of the Kochs; in the midst of a recent on-air
  parody of Al Gore, Beck said, without explanation, "I want to thank Charles Koch
  for this information." Beck declined to elaborate on the relationship.)
  Charles and David also became devotees of a more radical thinker, Robert
  LeFevre, who favored the abolition of the state but didn't like the label
  "anarchist"; he called himself an "autarchist." LeFevre liked to say that
  "government is a disease masquerading as its own cure." In 1956, he opened an
  institution called the Freedom School, in Colorado Springs. Brian Doherty, of
  Reason, told me that "LeFevre was an anarchist figure who won Charles's heart,"
  and that the school was "a tiny world of people who thought the New Deal was a
  horrible mistake." According to diZerega, Charles supported the school
  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770951 Date: 08/31/2015

  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770951 Date: 08/31/2015
  financially, and even gave him money to take classes there.
  Throughout the seventies, Charles and David continued to build Koch Industries.
  In 1980, William, with assistance from Freddie, attempted to take over the
  company from Charles, who, they felt, had assumed autocratic control. In
  retaliation, the company's board, which answered to Charles, fired William.
  ("Charles runs it all with an iron hand," Bruce Bartlett, the economist, told
  me.) Lawsuits were filed, with William and Freddie on one side and Charles and
  David on the other.. In 1983, Charles and David bought out their brothers' share
  in the company for nearly a billion dollars. But the antagonism remained, and
  litigation continued for seventeen more years, with the brothers hiring rival
  private investigators; in 1990, they walked past one another with stony
  expressions at their mother's funeral. Eventually, Freddie moved to Monaco,
  which has no income tax. He bought historic estates in France, Austria, and
  elsewhere, filling them with art, antiques, opera scores, and literary
  manuscripts. William founded his own energy company, Oxbow, and turned to
  yachting; he spent an estimated sixty-five million dollars to win the America's
  Cup, in 1992.
  With Charles as the undisputed chairman and C.E.O., Koch Industries expanded
  .
  rapidly. Roger Altman, who heads the investment-banking firm Evercore, told me
  that the company's performance has been "beyond phenomenal." Charles remained in
  Wichita, with his wife and two children, guarding his privacy while supporting
  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770951 Date: 08/31/2015

  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770951 Date: 08/31/2015
  community charities. David moved to New York City, where he is an executive
  vice-president of the company and the C.E.O. of its Chemical Technology Group. A
  financial expert who knows Koch Industries well told me, "Charles is the
  company. Charles runs ." David, described by associates as "affable" and "a
  bit of a lunk," enjoyed for years the life of a wealthy bachelor. He rented a
  yacht in the South of France and bought a waterfront home in Southampton, where
  he threw parties that the Web site New York Social Diary likened to an "East
  Coast version of Hugh Hefner's soirees." In 1996, he married Julia Flesher, a
  fashion assistant. They live in a nine-thousand-square-foot duplex at 740 Park
  Avenue, with their three children. Though David's manner is more cosmopolitan,
  and more genial, than that of Charles, Brian Doherty, who has interviewed both
  brothers, couldn't think of a single issue on which the brothers disagreed.
  As their fortunes grew, Charles and David Koch became the primary underwriters
  of hard-line libertarian politics in America. Charles's goal, as Doherty
  described it, was to tear the government "out at the root." The brothers' first
  major public step came in 1979, when Charles persuaded David, then thirty-nine,
  to run for public office. They had become supporters of the Libertarian Party,
  and were backing its Presidential candidate, Ed Clark, who was running against
  Ronald Reagan from the right. Frustrated by the legal limits on campaign
  donations, they contrived to place David on the ticket, in the Vice-Presidential
  •
  slot; upon becoming a candidate, he could lavish as much of his personal fortune
  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770951 Date: 08/31/2015

  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770951 Date: 08/31/2015
  as he wished on the campaign. The ticket's slogan was "The Libertarian Party has
  only one source of funds: You." In fact, its primary source of funds was David
  Koch, who spent more than two million dollars on the effort.
  Many of the ideas propounded in the 1980 campaign presaged the Tea Party
  movement. Ed Clark told The Nation that libertarians were getting ready to stage
  "a very big tea party," because people were "sick to death" of taxes. The
  Libertarian Party platform called for the abolition of the F.B.I. and the
  ° .C.I.A., as well as of federal regulatory agencies, such as the Securities and
  Exchange Commission and the Department of Energy. The Party wanted to end Social
  Security, minimum-wage laws, gun control, and all personal and corporate income
  taxes; it proposed the legalization of prostitution, recreational drugs, and
  suicide. Government should be reduced to only one function: the protection of
  individual rights. William F. Buckley, Jr., a more traditional conservative,
  called the movement "Anarcho-Totalitarianism."
  That November,. the Libertarian ticket received only one per cent of the vote.
  The brothers realized that their brand of politics didn't sell at the ballot
  box. Charles Koch became openly scornful of conventional politics. •"It tends to
  be a nasty, corrupting business," he told a reporter at the time. "I'm
  interested in advancing libertarian ideas." According to Doherty's book, the
  Kochs came to regard elected politicians as merely "actors playing out a
  script." A longtime confidant of the Kochs told Doherty that the brothers wanted
  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770951 Date: 08/31/2015

  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770951 Date: 08/31/2015
  to "supply the themes and words for the scripts." In order to alter the
  direction of America, they had to "influence the areas where policy ideas
  percolate from: academia and think tanks."
  fter the 1980 election, Charles and David Koch receded from the public arena.
  But they poured more than a hundred million dollars into dozens of seemingly
  independent organizations. Tax records indicate that in 2008 the three main Koch
  family foundations gave money to thirty-four political and policy organizations,
  three of which they founded, and several of which they direct. The Kochs and
  their company have given additional millions to political campaigns, advocacy
  groups, and lobbyists. The family's subterranean financial role has fuelled
  suspicion on the 'left; Lee Fang, of the liberal blog ThinkProgress, has called
  the Kochs "the billionaires behind the hate."
  Only the Kochs know precisely how much they have Spent on politics. Public tax
  records show that between 1998 and 2008 the Charles G. Koch Charitable
  Foundation spent more than forty-eight million dollars. The Claude R. Lambe
  Charitable Foundation, which is controlled by Charles Koch and his slife, along
  with two company employees and an accountant, spent more than twenty-eight
  million. The David H. Koch Charitable Foundation spent more than a hundred and
  twenty million. Meanwhile, since 1998 Koch Industries has spent more than fifty
  million dollars. on lobbying. Separately, the company's political-action
  committee, KochPAC, has donated some eight million dollars to political
  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770951 Date: 08/31/2015

  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770951 Date: 08/31/2015
  campaigns, more than eighty per cent of it to Republicans. So far in 2010, Koch
  Industries leads all other energy companies in political contributions, as it
  has since 2006. In addition, during the past dozen years the Kochs and other
  family members have personally spent more than two million dollars on political
  contributions. In the second quarter of 2010, David Koch was the biggest
  individual contributor to the Republican Governors Association, with a
  million-dollar donation. Other gifts by the Koons may be untraceable; federal
  tax law permits anonymous personal donations to politically active nonprofit
  groups.
  In recent decades, members of several industrial dynasties have spent parts of
  their fortunes on a conservative agenda. In the nineteen-eighties, the Olin
  family, which owns a chemicals-and-manufacturing conglomerate, became known for
  funding right-leaning thinking in academia, particularly in law schools. And
  during the nineties Richard Mellon Scaife, a descendant of Andrew Mellon, spent
  millions attempting to discredit President Bill Clinton. An Rabin-Havt,
  vice-president at the Democratic-leaning Web site Media Matters, said that the
  Kochs' effort is unusual, in its marshalling of corporate and personal funds:
  "Their role, in terms of financial commitments, is staggering."
  Of course, Democrats give money, too. Their most prominent donor, the financier
  George Soros, runs a foundation, the Open Society Institute, that has spent as
  much as a hundred million dollars a year in America. Soros has also made
  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770951 Date: 08/31/2015

  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770951 Date: 08/31/2015
  generous private contributions to various Democratic campaigns, including
  Obamas. But Michael Vachon, his spokesman, argued that Soros's giving is
  transparent, and that "none of his contributions are in the service of his own
  economic interests." The Kochs have given millions of dollars to nonprofit
  groups that criticize environmental regulation and support lower taxes for
  industry. Gus diZerega, the former friend, suggested that the Kochs' youthful
  idealism about libertarianism had largely devolved into a rationale for
  corporate self-interest. He said of Charles, "Perhaps he has confused making
  money with freedom."
  Some critics have suggested that the Kochs' approach has subverted the purpose
  of tax-exempt giving. By law, charitable foundations must conduct exclusively
  nonpartisan activities that promote the public welfare. A 2004 report by the
  National Committee for *Responsive Philanthropy, a watchdog group, described the
  *Kochs' foundations as being self-serving, concluding, "These foundations give
  money to nonprofit organizations that do research and advocacy on issues that
  impact the profit margin of Koch Industries."
  The Kochs have gone well beyond their immediate self-interest, however, funding
  'organizations that aim to push the country in a libertarian direction. Among the
  institutions that they have subsidized are the Institute for Justice,. which
  files lawsuits opposing state and federal regulations; the Institute for Humane
  Studies, which underwrites libertarian academics; and the Bill of Rights
  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770951 Date: 08/31/2015

  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770951 Date: 08/31/2015
  Institute, which promotesa conservative slant on the Constitution. Many of the
  organizations funded by the Kochs employ specialists who write position papers
  that are subsequently quoted by politicians and pundits. David Koch has
  acknowledged that the family exerts tight ideological control. "If we're going
  to give a lot of money, we'll make darn sure they spend it in a way that goes
  along with our intent," he told Doherty. "And if they make a wrong turn and
  start doing things we don't agree with, we withdraw funding."
  he Kochs' subsidization of a pro-corporate movement fulfills, in many ways, the
  .vision laid out in a secret 1971 memo that Lewis Powell, then a Virginia
  attorney, wrote two months before he was nominated to the Supreme Court. The
  antiwar movement had turned its anger on defense contractors, such as Dow
  Chemical, and Ralph Nader was leading a public-interest crusade against
  corporations. Powell, writing- a report for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, urged
  American companies to fight back. The greatest threat to free enterprise, he
  warned, was not Communism or the New Left but, rather, respectable elements of
  soCiety"—intellectuals, journalists, and scientists. To defeat them, he wrote,
  business leaders needed to wage a long-term, unified campaign to change public
  opinion.
  Charles Koch seems to have approached both business and politics with the
  deliberation of an engineer. "To bring about social change," he told Doherty,
  requires "a strategy" that is "vertically and horizontally integrated," spanning
  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770951 Date: 08/31/2015

  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770951 Date: 08/31/2015
  "from idea creation to policy development to education to grassroots
  organizations to lobbying to litigation to political action." The project, he
  admitted, was extremely ambitious. "We have a radical philosophy," he said.
  In 1977, the Kochs provided the funds to launch the nation's first libertarian
  think tank, the Cato Institute. According to the Center for Public Integrity,
  between 1986 and 1993 the Koch family gave eleven million dollars to the
  institute. Today, Cato has more than a hundred full-time employees, and its
  experts and policy papers are widely quoted and respected by the mainstream
  media. It describes itself as nonpartisan, and its scholars have at times been
  critical of both parties. Put it has consistently pushed for corporate tax cuts,
  reductions in social services, and laissez-faire environmental policies.
  When President Obama, in a 2008 speech, described the science on global warming
  as "beyond dispute," the Cato Institute took out a full-page ad in the Times to
  contradict him. Cato's resident scholars have relentlessly criticized political
  attempts to stop global warming as expensive, ineffective, and unnecessary. Ed
  Crane, the Cato Institute's founder and president, told me that "global-warming
  theories give the government more control of the economy."
  Cato scholars have been particularly energetic in promoting the Climategate
  scandal. Last year, private e-mails of climate scientists at the University of
  East Anglia, in England, were mysteriously leaked, and their exchanges appeared
  to suggest a willingness to falsify data in order to buttress the idea that
  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770951 Date: 08/31/2015

  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770951 Date: 08/31/2015
  global warming is real. In the two weeks after the e-mails went public, one Cato
  scholar gave more than twenty media interviews trumpeting the alleged scandal.
  But five independent inquiries have since exonerated the researchers, and
  nothing was found in their e-mails or data to discredit the scientific consensus
  on global warming.
  Nevertheless, the controversy succeeded in spreading skepticism about climate
  change. Even though the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration recently
  issued a report concluding that the evidence for global warming is unequivocal,
  more Americans are convinced than at any time since 1997 that scientists have
  exaggerated the seriousness of global warming. The Kochs promote this statistic
  on their company's Web site but do not mention the role that their funding has
  played in fostering such doubt.
  In a 2002 memo; the Republican political consultant Frank Luntz wrote that.so
  long as "voters believe there is no consensus about global warming within the
  scientific community" the status quo would prevail. The key for opponents of
  environmental reform, he said, was to question the science—a public-relations
  strategy that the tobacco industry used effectively for years to forestall
  regulation. The Kochs have funded many sources of environmental Skepticism, such
  as the Heritage Foundation, which has argued that "scientific facts gathered in
  the past 10 years do not support the notion of catastrophic human-made warming."
  The brothers have given money to more obscure groups, too, such as the
  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770951 Date: 08/31/2015

  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770951 Date: 08/31/2015
  Independent Women's Forum, which opposes the presentation of global warming as a
  scientific fact in American public schools. Until 2008, the group was run by
  Nancy Pfotenhauer, a former lobbyist for Koch Industries. Mary Beth Jarvis, a
  vice-president of a Koch subsidiary, is on the group's board.
  Naomi Oreskes, a professor of history and science studies at the University of
  California, San Diego, is the co-author of "Merchants of Doubt," a new book that
  chronicles various attempts by American industry to manipulate public opinion on
  science. She noted that the Mocha, as the heads of "a company with refineries
  and pipelines," have "a lot at. stake." She added, "If the answer is to phase out
  fossil fuels, a different group of people are going to be making money, so we
  shouldn't be surprised that they're fighting tooth and nail."
  David Koch told New York that he was unconvinced that global warming has been
  caused by human activity. Even if it has been, h said, the heating of the
  planet will be beneficial, resulting in longer growing seasons in the Northern
  Hemisphere. "The Earth will be able to support enormously more peoplebecause
  far greater land area will be available to produce food," he said.
  n the mid-eighties, the Kochs provided millions of dollars to George Mason
  University, in Arlington, Virginia, to set up another think tank. Now known as
  the Mercatus Center, it promotes itself as "the world's premier university.
  source for market-oriented ideas—bridging the gap betWeen. academic ideas and
  teal-world problems." Financial records show that the Koch family foundations
  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770951 Date: 08/31/2015

  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770951 Date: 08/31/2015
  have contributed more than thirty million dollars to George Mason, much of which
  has gone to the Mercatus Center, a nonprofit organization. "It's ground zero for
  deregulation.policy in Washington," Rob Stein, the Demodratic strategist, said.
  It is an unusual arrangement. "George Mason is a public university, and receives
  public funds," Stein noted. "Virginia is hosting an institution• that the Kochs
  practically control."
  The founder of the Mercatus Center is Richard Fink, formerly an economist. Fink
  heads Koch Industries' lobbying operation in Washington. In addition, he is the
  president of the Charles G. Koch Charitable Foundation, the president of the
  Claude R. Lambe Charitable Foundation, a director of the Fred C. and Mary R.
  Koch Foundation, and a director and co-founder, with David Koch, of the
  Americans for Prosperity Foundation.
  Fink, with his many titles, has become the central nervous system of the
  Kochtopus. He appears to have supplanted Ed Crane, the 'head or the Cato
  Institute, as the brothers' main political lieutenant. Though David remains on
  the board at Cato, Charles Koch has fallen out with Crane. Associates suggested
  to me that Crane had been insufficiently respectful of Charles's management
  philosophy, which he distilled into a book called "The Science of Success," and
  trademarked under the name Market-Based Management, or M.B.M. In the book,
  Charles recommends instilling a company's corporate culture with the
  competitiveness of the marketplace. Koch describes M.B.M. as a "holistic system"

  decision rights and incentives." A top Cato Institute official told me that
  Charles "thinks he's a genius. He's the emperor, and he's convinced he's wearing
  clothes." Fink, by contrast, has been .far more embracing of Charles's ideas.
  (Fink, like the Kochs, declined to be interviewed.)
  At a 1995 conference for philanthropists, Fink adopted the language of economics
  when speaking about the Mercatus Center's purpose. He said that grant-makers
  should use think tanks and political-action groups to convert intellectual raw
  materials into policy "products."
  The Wall Street Journal has called the Mercatus Center "the mos.t important think
  tank you've never heard of," and noted that fourteen of the twenty-three
  regulations that President George W. Bush placed on a "hit list" had been
  suggested first by Mercatus scholars. Fink told the paper that the Kochs have
  "other means of fighting [their] battles," and that the Mercatus Center does not
  actively promote the company's private interests. But Thomas McGarity, a law
  professor at the University of Texas, who specializes in environmental issues,.
  told me that "Koch has been constantly in trouble with the E.P.A., and Mercatus
  has constantly hammered on the agency." An environmental lawyer who has clashed
  with the Mercatus Center called it "a means of laundering economic aims." The
  lawyer explained the strategy: "You take corporate money and give it to a
  neutral-sounding think tank," which "hires people with pedigrees and academic

  degrees who put out credible-seeming studies. But they all coincide perfectly
  with the economic interests of their funders."
  In 1997, for instance, the E.P.A. moved to reduce surface ozone, a form of
  pollution caused, in part, by emissions from oil refineries. Susan Dudley, an
  economist. who became a top official at the Mercatus Center, criticized the
  proposed
  . rule. The E.P.A., she argued, had not taken into account that smog-free
  skies would result in more cases of skin cancer. She projected that if pollution
  were controlled it would cause up to eleven thousand additional cases of skin
  cancer each year.
  In 1999, the District of Columbia Circuit Court took up Dudley's smog argument.
  Evaluating the E.P.A.rule, the court found that the E.P.A. had "explicitly
  disregarded" the "possible health benefits of ozone." In another part of the
  opinion, the court ruled, 2-1, that the E.P.A. had overstepped its authority in
  calibrating standards for ozone emissions. As the Constitutional Accountability
  Center, a think tank, revealed, the judges in the majority had previously
  attended legal junkets, on a Montana ranch, that were arranged by the Foundation
  for Research on Economics and the Environment—a group funded by Koch family
  foundations. The judges have claimed that the ruling was unaffected by their
  attendance.
  deas don't happen on their own," Matt Kibbe, the president of FreedomWorks, a
  Tea Party advocacy group, told me. "Throughout history, ideas need patrons." The

  Koch brothers, after helping to create Cato and Mercatus, concluded that think
  tanks alone were not enough to effect change. They needed a mechanism to deliver
  those ideas to the street, and•to attract the public's support. In 1984, David
  Koch and Richard Fink created yet another organization, and Kibbe joined them.
  The group, Citizens for a Sound Economy, seemed like a grassroots movement, but
  according to the Center for Public Integrity it was sponsored principally by the
  Kochs, who provided $7.9 million between 1986 and 1993. Its mission, Kibbe said,
  "was to take these heavy ideas and translate them for mass America. . . . We
  read the same literature Obama did about nonviolent revolutions—Saul Alinsky,
  Gandhi, Martin Luther King. We studied the idea of the Boston Tea Party as an
  example of nonviolent, social change. We learned we needed boots on the ground to
  sell ideas, not candidates." Within a few years, the group had mobilized fifty
  paid field workers, in twenty-six states, to rally voters behind the Kochs'
  agenda. David and Charles, according to one participant, were "very controlling,
  very top down. You can't build an organization with them. They run it."
  Around this time, the brothers faced a political crisis. In 1989, the Senate
  Select Committee on Indian Affairs investigated their business and released a
  scathing report accusing Koch Oil of "a widespread and sophisticated scheme to
  steal crude oil from Indians and others through fraudulent mismeasuring." The
  Kochs admitted that they had improperly taken thirty-one million dollars' worth
  of crude oil, but said that it had been accidental. Charles Koch told committee •

  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770951 Date: 08/31/2015
  investigators that oil measurement is "a very uncertain art."
  To defend its reputation, Koch Industries hired Robert Strauss, then a premier
  Washington lobbyist; the company soon opened an office in the city. A grand jury
  was convened to investigate the allegations, but it eventually disbanded,
  without issuing criminal charges. According to the Senate report, after the
  committee hearings Koch operatives delved into the personal lives of committee
  staffers, even questioning an ex-wife. Senate investigators were upset by the
  Kochs' tactics. Kenneth Ballen, the counsel to the Senate committee, said,
  "These people have amassed such unaccountable power!"
  By 1993, when Bill Clinton became President, Citizens for a Sound Economy had
  become a prototype for the kind of corporate-backed opposition campaigna that
  have proliferated during the Obama era. The group waged a successful assault on
  Clinton's proposed B.T.U. tax on energy, for instance, running- advertisements,
  staging media events, and targeting opponents. And it mobilized anti-tax rallies
  outside the Capitol-rallies that NPR described as "designed to strike fear into
  the hearts of wavering Democrats." ban Glickman, a former Democratic congressman
  from Wichita, who supported the B.T.U. tax, recalled, "I'd been in Congress
  eighteen years. The Kochs actually engaged against me and funded my opponent.
  They used a lot of resources and effort-their employees, too." Glickman suffered
  a surprise defeat. "I can't prove it, but I think I was probably their victim,"
  he said.

  The Kochs continued to disperse their money, creating slippery organizations
  with generic-sounding names, and this made it difficult to ascertain the extent
  of their influence in Washington. In 1990, Citizens for a Sound Economy created
  a spinoff group, Citizens for the Environment, which called acid rain and other
  environmental problems "myths." When the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette investigated
  the matter, it discovered that the spinoff group had "no citizen membership of
  its own."
  In 1997, another Senate investigation began looking into what a minority report
  called "an audacious plan to pour millions of dollars in contributions into -
  Republican campaigns nationwide without disclosing the amount or source," in
  order to evade .campaign-finance laws. A shell corporation, Triad Management, had
  paid more than three million dollars for attack ads in twenty-six House races
  and three Senate races. More than half of the advertising money came from an
  obscure nonprofit group, the Economic Education Trust. The Senate committee's
  minority report suggested that "the trust was financed in whole or in part by
  Charles and David Koch of Wichita, Kansas." The brothers were suspected of
  having secretly paid for the attack ads, most of which aired in states where
  Koch Industries did business. In Kansas, where Triad Management was especially
  active, the funds may have played a decisive role in four of six federal races.
  The Kochs, when asked by reporters if they had given the money, refused to
  comment. In 1998, however, the Wall Street Journal confirmed that a consultant
  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770951 Date: 08/31/2015

  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770951 Date: 08/31/2015
  on the Kochs' payroll had been involved in the scheme. Charles Lewis, of the
  Center for Public Integrity, described the scandal as "historic. Triad was the
  first time a major corporation used a cutout"—a front operation—"in a
  threatening way. Koch Industries was the poster child of a company run amok."
  uring the Clinton Administration, the energy industry faced increased scrutiny
  and regulation. In the mid-nineties, the Justice Department filed two lawsuits
  against Koch Industries, claiming that it was responsible for more than three
  hundred oil spills, which had released an estimated three million gallons of oil
  into lakes and rivers. The penalty was potentially as high as two hundred and
  fourteen million dollars. In a settlement, Koch Industries paid a record
  thirty-million-dollar civil fine, and agreed to spend five million dollars on
  environmental projects.
  In 1999, a jury found Koch Industries guilty of negligence and malice in the
  deaths of two Texas teen-agers in an explosion that resulted from a leaky
  underground butane pipeline. (In 2001, the company paid an undisclosed
  settlement.) And in the final months of the Clinton Presidency the Justice
  Department levelled a ninety-seven-count indictment against the company, for
  covering up the discharge of ninety-one tons of benzene, a carcinogen, from its
  refinery in Corpus Christi, Texas. The company was liable for three hundred and
  fifty million dollars in fines, and four Koch employees faced up to thirty-five
  years in prison. The Koch Petroleum Group eventually pleaded guilty to one
  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770951 Date: 08/31/2015

  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770951 Date: 08/31/2015
  criminal charge of covering up environmental violations, including the
  falsification of documents, and paid a twenty-million-dollar fine. David
  Uhlmann, a career prosecutor who, at the time, headed the environmental-crimes
  section at the Justice Department, described the suit as "one of the most
  significant cases ever brought under the Clean Air Act." He added,
  "Environmental crimes are almost always motivated by economics and arrogance,
  and in the Koch case there was a healthy dose of both."
  During the 2000 election campaign, Koch Industries spent some nine hundred
  thousand dollars to support the candidacies of George N. Bush and other
  Republicans. During the Bush years, Koch Industries and other fossil-fuel
  companies enjoyed remarkable prosperity. The 2005 energy bill, which Hillary
  Clinton dubbed the Dick Cheney Lobbyist Energy Bill, offered enormous subsidies
  and tax breaks for energy companies. The Kochs have cast themselves as deficit
  hawks, but, according to a study by Media Matters, their companies have
  benefitted from nearly a hundred million dollars in government contracts since
  2000.
  In 2004, Citizens for a Sound Economy was accused of illegitimately throwing its
  weight behind Bush's reelection. The group's Oregon branch had attempted to get
  Ralph Nader on the Presidential ballot, in order to dilute Democratic support
  for John Kerry, Critics argued that it was illegal for a tax-exempt nonprofit
  organization to donate its services for partisan political purposes. (A
  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770951 Date: 08/31/2015

  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770951 Date: 08/31/2015
  complaint was filed with the Federal Election Commission; it was dismissed.)
  That year, internal rivalries at Citizens for a Sound Economy caused the
  organization to split apart. David Koch and Fink started a new group, Americans
  for Prosperity, and they hired Tim Phillips to run it. Phillips was a political
  veteran who had worked with Ralph Reed, the evangelical leader and Republican
  activist, co-founding Century Strategies, a campaign-consulting company that
  became notorious for its ties to the disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff.
  Phillips's online biography describes him as an expert in "grasstops" and
  "grassroots" political organizing. The Kochs' choice of Phillips signalled an
  even greater toughness. The conservative operative Grover Norquist, who is known
  for praising "throat slitters" in politics, called Phillips "a grownup who can
  make things happen."
  Last year, Phillips told the Financial Times that Americans for Prosperity had
  only eight thousand registered members. Currently, its Web site claims that the
  group has "1.2 million activists." Whatever its size, the Kochs' political
  involvement has been intense; a former employee of the Cato Institute told me
  that Americans for Prosperity "was micromanaged by the Kochs." And the brothers'
  investment may well have paid off: Americans for Prosperity, in concert with the
  •
  family's other organizations, has been instrumental in disrupting the Obama
  Presidency.
  In January, 2008, Charles Koch wrote in his company newsletter that America
  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770951 Date: 08/31/2015

  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770951 Date: 08/31/2015
  could be on the verge of "the greatest loss of liberty and prosperity since the
  1930s." That October, Americans for Prosperity held a conference of conservative
  operatives at a Marriott hotel outside Washington. Erick Erickson, the
  editor-in-chief of the conservative blog RedState.com, took the lectern, thanked
  David Koch, and vowed to "unite and fight . . . the armies of the left!" Soon
  after Obama assumed office, Americans for Prosperity launched "Porkulus" rallies
  against Obama's stimulus-spending measures. Then the Mercatus Center released a
  report claiming that stimulus funds had been directed disproportionately toward
  Democratic districts; eventually, the author was forced to correct the report,
  but not before Rush Limbaugh, citing the paper, had labelled Obama's program "a
  slush fund," and Fox News and other conserVative outlets had echoed the
  sentiment. (Phil Kerpen, the vice-president for policy at Americans for
  Prosperity, is a contributor to the Fox News Web site. Another officer at
  Americans for Prosperity, Walter Williams, often guest-hosts for Limbaugh.)
  Americans for Prosperity also created an offshoot, Patients United Now, which
  organized what Phillips has estimated to be more than three hundred rallies
  against health-care reform. At one rally, an effigy of a Democratic congressman
  was hung; at another, protesters unfurled a banner depicting corpses from
  Dachau. The group also helped organize the "Kill the Bill" protests outside the
  Capitol, in March, where Democratic supporters of health-care reform alleged
  that they were spat on and cursed at. Phillips was a featured speaker.
  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770951 Date: 08/31/2015

  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770951 Date: 08/31/2015
  Americans for Prosperity has held at least eighty events targeting cap-and-trade
  legislation, which is aimed at making industries pay for the air pollution that
  they create. Speakers for -the group claimed,, with exaggeration, that even
  back-yard barbecues and kitchen stoves would be taxed. The group was also
  involved in the attacks on Obama's "green jobs" czar, Van Jones, and waged a
  crusade against international climate talks. Casting his group as a champion of
  ordinary workers who would be hurt by environmentalists, Phillips went to
  Copenhagen last year and staged a protest outside the United Nations conference
  on climate change, declaring, "We're a grasaroots organization. . . . I think
  it's unfortunate when wealthy children of wealthy
  . families . . want to send
  unemployment rates in the United States up to twenty per cent."
  Grover Norquist, who holds a weekly meeting for conservative leaders in
  Washington, .including representatives from Americans for Prosperity, told me
  that last summer's raucous rallies were pivotal in undermining Obama's agenda
  The Republican leadership in Congress, he said, "couldn't have done it without
  August, when people went out on the streets. It discouraged deal-makers"—Republicans
  who might otherwise have worked constructively with Obama. Moreover, the
  appearance of growing public opposition to Obama affected corporate donors on K
  Street. "K Street is a three-billion-dollar weathervane," Norquist said. "When
  Obama was 'strong, the Chamber of Commerce said, 'We can work with the Obama
  Administration.' But that changed when thousands of people went into the street
  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770951 Date: 08/31/2015

  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770951 Date: 08/31/2015
  and 'terrorized' congressmen. August is what changed it. Now that Obama is weak,
  people are getting tough."
  As the first anniversary of Obama's election approached, David Koch came to the
  Washington area to attend a triumphant Americans for Prosperity gathering.
  Obama's poll numbers were falling fast. Not a single Republican senator was
  working with the Administration on health care, or much else. Pundits were
  writing about Obama's political ineptitude, and Tea Party groups were accusing
  the President of initiating "a government takeover." In a speech, Koch said,
  "Days like today bring to reality the vision of our board of directors when we
  started this organization, five years ago." He went on, "We envisioned a mass
  movement, a state-based one, but national in scope, of hundreds of thousands of
  American citizens from all walks of life standing up and fighting for the
  economic freedoms that made our nation the most prosperous society in history. .
  . . Thankfully, the stirrings from California to Virginia, and from Texas to
  Michigan, show that more and more of our fellow-citizens are beginning to see
  the same truths as we do."
  While Koch didn't explicitly embrace the Tea Party movement that day, more
  recently he has come close to doing so, praising it for demonstrating the
  "powerful visceral hostility in the body politic against the massive increase in
  government power, the massive efforts to socialize this country." Charles Koch,
  in a newsletter sent to his seventy thousand employees, compared the Obama
  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770951 Date: 08/31/2015

  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770951 Date: 08/31/2015
  Administration to the regime of the Venezuelan strongman Hugo Chavez. The Kochs'
  sense of imperilment is somewhat puzzling. Income inequality in America is
  greater than it has been since the nineteen-twenties, and since the seventies
  the tax rates of the wealthiest have fallen more than thoseof the middle class.
  Yet the brothers' message has evidently resonated with-voters: a recent poll
  found that fifty-five per cent of Americans agreed that Obama is a socialist.
  Americans for Prosperity, meanwhile, has announced that it will spend an
  additional forty-five million dollars before the midterm elections, in November.
  Although the group is legally prohibited from directly .endorsing candidates, it
  nonetheless plans to target some fifty House races and half a dozen Senate
  races, staging rallies, organizing door-to-door canvassing, and running ads
  aimed at "educating voters about where candidates stand."
  Though the Kochs have slowed Obama's momentum, their larger political battle is
  far from won. Richard Fink, interviewed by FrumForum.com this spring, said, "If
  you look at where we've gone from the year 2000 to now, with the expansion of
  government spending and a debt burden that threatens to bankrupt the country,
  doesn't look very good at all." He went on, "It looks like the infrastructure
  that was built and nurtured has not carried the. day." He suggested that the
  Kochs needed "to get more into the practical, day-to-day issues of governing."
  n 1991, David Koch was badly injured in a plane crash in Los Angeles. He was the
  sole passenger in first class to survive. As he was recovering, a routine
  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770951 Date: 08/31/2015

  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770951 Date: 08/31/2015
  physical exam led to the discovery of prostate cancer. Koch received treatment,
  settled down, started a family, and reconsidered his life. As he told Portfolio,
  "When you're the only one who survived in the front of the plane and everyone
  else died—yeah, you think, 'My God, the good Lord soared me for some greater
  purpose.' My joke is that I've been busy ever since, doing all the good work I
  can think of, so He can have confidence in me."
  Koch began giving spectacularly large donations to the arts and sciences. And he
  became a patron of cancer research, focussing on prostate cancer. In addition to
  his gifts to Sloan-Kettering, he gave fifteen million dollars to New
  York-Presbyterian Hospital, a hundred and twenty-five million to M.I.T. for
  cancer research, twenty million to Johns Hopkins University, and twenty-five
  millior. to the M. D. Anderson Cancer Center, in Houston. In response to his
  generosity, Sloan-Kettering gave Koch its Excellence in Corporate Leadership
  Award. In 2004, President Bush named him to the National Cancer Advisory Board,
  which guides the National Cancer Institute.
  Koch's corporate and political roles, however, may pose conflicts of interest.
  For example, at the same time that David Koch has been casting himself as a
  champion in the fight against cancer, Koch Industries has been lobbying to
  prevent the E.P.A. from classifying formaldehyde, which the company produces in
  great quantities, as a "known carcinogen" in humans.
  Scientists have long known that formaldehyde causes cancer in rats, and several
  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770951 Date: 08/31/2015

  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770951 Date: 08/31/2015
  major scientific studies have concluded that formaldehyde causes cancer in human
  beings—including one published last year by the National Cancer Institute, on
  whose advisory board Koch. sits. The study tracked twenty-five thousand patients
  for an average of forty years; subjects exposed to higher amounts of
  formaldehyde had significantly higher rates of leukemia. These results helped
  lead an expert panel within the National Institutes of Health to conclude that
  formaldehyde should be categorized as a known carcinogen, and be strictly
  controlled by the government. Corporations have resisted regulations on
  formaldehyde for decades, however, and Koch Industries has been a large funder
  of members of Congress who have stymied the E.P.A., requiring it to defer new
  regulations until more studies are completed.
  Koch Industries became a major producer of the chemical in 2005, after it bought
  Georgia-Pacific, the paper and wood-products company, for twenty-one billion
  dollars. Georgia-Pacific manufactures formaldehyde in its chemical division, and
  uses it to produce various wood products, such as plywood and laminates. Its
  annual production capacity for formaldehyde is 2.2 billion pounds. Last
  December, Traylor Champion, Georgia-Pacific's vice-president of environmental
  affairs, sent a formal letter of protest to federal health authorities. He wrote
  that the company ",strongly disagrees" with the N.I.H. panel's conclusion that
  formaldehyde should be treated as a known human carcinogen. David Koch did not
  recuse himself from the National Cancer Advisory Board, or divest himself of
  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770951 Date: 08/31/2015

  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770951 Date: 08/31/2015
  company stock, while his company was directly lobbying the government to keep
  formaldehyde on the market. (A board spokesperson said that the issue of
  formaldehyde had not come up.)
  James Huff, an associate director at the National institute for Environmental
  Health Sciences, a division of the N.I.H., told me that it was "disgusting" for
  Koch to be serving on the National Cancer Advisory Board: "It's just not good
  for public health. Vested interests should not be on the board." He went on,
  "Those boards are very important. They're very influential as to Whether N.C.I.
  goes into formaldehyde or not. Billions of dollars are involved in
  formaldehyde."
  Harold Varmus, the director of the National Cancer Institute, knows David Koch
  from Memorial Sloan-Kettering, which he used to run. He said that, at
  Sloan-Kettering, "a lot of people who gave to us had large business interests.
  The one thing we wouldn't tolerate in our board members is tobacco." When told
  of Koch Industries' stance on formaldehyde, Varmus said that he was "surprised."
  he David H. Koch Hall of Human Origins, at the Smithsonian's National Museum of
  Natural History, is a multimedia exploration of the theory that mankind evolved
  in response to climate change. At the main entrance, viewers are confronted with
  a giant graph charting the Earth's temperature over the past ten million years,
  which notes that it is far cooler now than it.was ten thousand years ago.
  Overhead, the text reads, "HUMANS EVOLVED IN RESPONSE TO A CHANGING WORLD." The
  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770951 Date: 08/31/2015

  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770951 Date: 08/31/2015
  message, as amplified by the exhibit's Web site, is that "key human adaptations
  evolved in response to environmental instability." Only at the end of the
  exhibit, under the headline "OUR SURVIVAL CHALLENGE," is it noted that levels of
  carbon dioxide are higher now than they have ever been, and that they are
  projected to increase dramatically in the next century. No cause is given for
  this development; no mention is made of any possible role played by fossil
  fuels. The exhibit makes it seem part of a natural continuum. The accompanying
  text says, "During the period in which humans evolved, Earth's temperature and
  the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere fluctuated together." An
  interactive game in the exhibit suggests that humans will continue to adapt to
  climate change in the future. People may build "underground citieS," developing
  "short, compact bodies" or "curved spines," so that "moving around in tight
  spaces will be no problem."
  Such ideas uncannily echo the Koch message. The company's January newsletter to
  employees, for instance, argues that "fluctuations in the earth's climate
  predate humanity," and concludes, "Since we can't control Mother Nature, let's
  figure out how to get along with her changes." Joseph Romm, a physicist who runs
  the Web site ClimateProgressorg, is infuriated by the Smithsonian's
  presentation. "The whole exhibit whitewashes the modern climate issue," he said.
  "I think the Kochs wanted to be seen as some sort of high-minded company,
  associated with the greatest natural-history and science museum in the country.
  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770951 Date: 08/31/2015

  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770951 Date: 08/31/2015
  But the truth is, the exhibit is underwritten by big-time polluters, who are
  underground funders of action to stop efforts to deal with this threat to
  humanity. I think the Smithsonian should have drawn the line."
  Cristian Samper, the museum's director, said that.the exhibit is not about
  climate change, and described Koch as "one of the best donors we've had, in my
  tenure here, because he's very interested in the content, but completely hands
  off." He noted, "I don't know all the details of his involvement in other
  issues."
  The Kochs have long depended on the public's not knowing all the details about
  them. They have been content to operate what David Koch has called "the largest
  company that you've never heard of." But with the growing prominence of the Tea
  Party, and with increased awareness of the Kochs' ties to the movement, the
  brothers may find it harder to deflect scrutiny. Recently, President Obama took
  aim at the Kochs' political network. Speaking at a Democratic National Committee
  fund-raiser, in Austin, he warned supporters that the Supreme Court's recent
  ruling in the Citizens United case--which struck down laws prohibiting direct

  Colleagues:
  Further to our earlier alert, the press is widely reporting Somali gunmen disguised in army uniforms stormed a hotel
  popular with government officials on Tuesday, and a legislator said at least 15 parliamentarians were killed. There was
  no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack.
  The African Union confirmed at least 15 people were killed in the attack on the Huna Hotel, in a government-controlled
  neighborhood between the presidential palace and the Indian Ocean. It did not say whether the dead were all MPs.
  Embassy Nairobi spoke with President Sheikh Sharif who confirmed that seven MPs are now dead and numerous others
  • are wounded. The number of attackers is not clear, but they were dressed in Transitional Federal Government military
  uniforms. At least two blew themselves up.

  Days of Rage -- The
  Noxious
  Transformation of
  the Conservative
  Movement into a
  Rabid Fringe
  By Max Blumenthal, Nation Books
  Posted on August 10, 2010, Printed on
  August 17, 2010
  http://www.alternet.orgistory/147784/
  Editor's Note: The following is
  the new epilogue from Max
  Blumenthal's book, Republic
  Gomorrah, now out in paperback
  (Basic/Nation Books, 2009).
  "He will tell you
  that he wants a
  strong authority to
  take from him the
  crushing
  responsibility of
  thinking for
  himself Since the
  Republic is weak,
  he is led to break
  the law out of love
  for obedience. But
  is it really strong
  authority that he
  wishes? In reality
  he demands
  rigorous order for
  others, and for
  himself disorder
  without
  responsibility." --
  Jean-Paul Sartre,
  "Anti-Semite and
  Jew"
  I am not sure when I first detected
  the noxious fumes that would
  envelop the conservative
  movement in the Obama era. It
  might have been early on, in
  April 2009, when I visited a
  series of gun shows in rural
  California and Nevada. Perusing
  tables piled high with high-
  caliber semi-automatic weapons
  and chatting with anyone in my
  vicinity, I heard urgent warnings
  of mass roundups, concentration
  camps, and a socialist
  government in Washington.
  "These people that are purchasing
  these guns are people that are
  worried about what's going on in
  this country," a gun dealer told
  me outside a show in Reno.
  "Good luck Obama," a young gun
  enthusiast remarked to me. "We
  outnumber him 100 to 1." At this
  time, the Tea Party movement
  had not even registered on the
  national media's radar.
  In September 2009, I led a panel
  discussion about this book inside
  an auditorium filled with nearly
  100 students and faculty at the
  University of California-
  Riverside. Beside me sat Jonathan
  Walton, an African-American
  professor of religious studies and
  prolific writer, and Mark Takano,
  an erudite, openly gay former
  Democratic congressional
  candidate and local community
  college trustee. In the middle of
  our discussion, a dozen College
  Republicans stormed the front of
  the stage with signs denouncing
  me as a "left-wing hack" while a
  hysterical young man leaped from
  the crowd, blowing kisses
  mockingly at Takano while
  heckling Walton as a "racist."
  Afterward, university police
  officers insisted on escorting me
  to my ride after the right-wing
  heckler attempted to follow me as
  he shouted threats.
  Who was this stalker? Just a
  concerned citizen worried about
  taxes? His name was Ryan Sorba
  and he was an operative of a
  heavily funded national
  conservative youth outfit, the
  Intercollegiate Studies Institute.
  Besides founding dozens of
  Republican youth groups across
  the country, Sorba has devoted an
  exceptional amount of energy to
  his interest in homosexuals. His
  intellectual output consists of a
  tract titled The Born Gay Hoax,
  arguing that homosexuality is at
  once a curable disease and a
  bogus trend manufactured by
  academic leftists. Adding to his
  credentials, Sorba has a history of
  run-ins with the law, he explained
  when I called him about the
  order.
  My encounter with this
  aggressive right-wing cadre
  seemed a strange, isolated event.
  But the hostility turned out to be
  symptomatic of the intensifying
  campaign to delegitimize
  President Obama and his allies in
  Congress. The Right's days of
  rage were only beginning.
  Through his first year in office,
  Obama seemed oblivious to the
  threat of the far right. He
  campaigned against partisanship,
  declaring that there were "no red
  states" and no "conservative
  America." Apparently, he thought
  it was merely a contrivance or
  myth that there were people who
  rejected science, demonized gays,
  assailed minority and women's
  rights -- or that they genuinely
  believed in what they said.
  Speaking of changing
  Washington, Obama seemed to
  think that the entire history of
  politics since the rise of Reagan
  and the Right and their strategies
  of polarization was not deeply
  rooted but a superficial problem
  attributable to certain "divisive"
  personalities, easily wiped away
  with gestures toward
  bipartisanship. His view of the
  parties was that they were simply
  mirror images sharing
  fundamental beliefs but separated
  by "partisans." The skilled and
  devoted community organizer
  could bring them together.
  Many of his supporters in the
  media, often part and parcel of
  political wars over the years,
  reinforced and amplified his
  innocence, proclaiming he was
  the one at last who could "bridge•
  the partisan divide." Andrew
  Sullivan, a disaffected
  conservative who once called
  critics of George W. Bush
  policies "fifth columnists" but
  now fervently supporting Obama,
  wrote that the new president was
  destined to become "a liberal
  Reagan who can reunite
  America." This optimism
  pervaded the Obama White
  House as the president and his
  aides sought out Republicans
  willing to vote for his programs.
  After all, why couldn't we all just
  get along?
  In his autobiographical book The
  Audacity of Hope, Obama
  highlighted a key component of
  his political strategy: "I serve as a
  blank screen on which people of
  vastly different political stripes
  project their own views." Once he
  was elected, conservatives
  concluded that they could reverse
  Obama's strength by transforming
  him into a human tableau for the
  most fearsome images they could
  conjure.
  Obama's multiracial background
  was crucial in cultivating
  resentment among the shock
  troops. Those who rejected
  Obama's legitimacy to serve as
  president on the basis of his
  background gave birth to the
  "Birther" movement that sought
  to challenge his citizenship. The
  movement's most visible figure,
  and therefore the most eccentric,
  was Orly Taitz, a dentist and self-
  trained lawyer who had
  immigrated from the former
  Soviet republican of Moldova to
  Israel before settling in the
  conservative bastion of Orange
  County, California. Convinced by
  claims on the far-right Web site
  WorldNetDaily that Obama
  planned to create a "civilian
  national security force," Taitz
  told me she "realized that Obama
  was another Stalin--it's a cross
  between Stalinist USSR and
  Hitler's Germany."
  After becoming transfixed by
  online conspiracy theories
  claiming Obama's family had
  forged his birth certificate in
  Hawaii, Taitz snapped into
  action. She filed a lawsuit in
  November 2008 with California
  Secretary of State Debra Bowen
  demanding an investigation into
  Obama's eligibility to serve as
  president. Taitz's plaintiff in the
  case was Wiley Drake, an Orange
  County radio preacher and former
  second vice president of the
  Southern Baptist Convention who
  once publicly prayed for Obama's
  death. While her lawsuit went
  nowhere, and subsequent suits
  earned her angry rebukes from
  judges, Taitz became an instant
  media sensation, delivering
  heavily accented screeds against
  Obama before friendly
  interviewers from Sean Haimity
  to CNN's Lou Dobbs, who Taitz
  called her "greatest supporter"
  and who was eventually fired as
  an indirect result of his hosting of
  her.
  In March 2009, Texas Rep.
  Randy Neugebauer signed on to a
  Birther bill proposing that future
  presidential candidates must
  prove their citizenship before
  becoming eligible to campaign.
  The Birther movement had found
  its voice in goverment and made
  an indelible impact on the
  Republican grassroots. By June
  2009, 28 percent of Republican
  respondents to a Kos/Research
  2000 poll said they thought
  Obama wasn't born in the United
  States, while 30 percent "weren't
  sure." "Obama should be in the
  Big House," Taitz shrieked to me,
  "not the White House!"
  When Obama announced health
  care reform as the first major
  initiative of his administration,
  the conservative movement
  activated a campaign of
  demonization -- transformational
  politics -- designed to turn Obama
  into the "Other," making him
  seem as unfamiliar, and therefore
  as threatening, as possible. When
  the president urged the Congress
  to deliver a health care reform bill
  in 2009, the Right staged a living
  theater of political hatred,
  Obama's dream of bipartisanship
  transformed into a nightmarish
  version of "Marat/Sade." On
  September 12, 2009, tens of
  thousands of far-right activists
  belonging to a loose
  confederation of anti-government
  groups called the Tea Party
  Patriots converged on
  Washington's National Mall for a
  giant protest against the Obama
  health care plan. The date was
  significant: Fox News's top-
  ranked talk show host Glenn
  Beck had declared the birth of the
  "9-12 Project" to restore the sense
  of unity -- and siege mentality --
  that Americans experienced on
  September 11, 2001. But this
  time, Obama -- not Osama -- was
  the enemy.
  While covering the rally, I
  witnessed sign after sign
  declaring Obama a greater danger
  to America's security than al-
  Qaida; demonstrators held images
  that juxtaposed Obama's face
  with images of evildoers from
  Hitler to Pol Pot to Bin Laden;
  others carried signs questioning
  Obama's status as a U.S. citizen.
  "We can fight al-Qaida, we can't
  kill Obama," said an aging
  demonstrator. Another told me,
  "Obama is the biggest Nazi in the
  world," pointing to placards he
  had fashioned depicting Obama
  and House Majority Leader
  Nancy Pelosi in SS outfits.
  According to another activist,
  Obama's agenda was similar to
  Hitler's: "Hitler took over the
  banking industry, did he not? And
  Hitler had his own personal secret
  service police. [The community-
  organizing group] ACORN is an
  extension of that."
  The seemingly incongruous Tea
  Party propaganda recalled signs
  waved by right-wing Jewish
  settlers during rallies against
  Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak
  Rabin and his support of the
  peace process, portraying him as
  an SS officer and as the French
  collaborator Marshall Petain. In
  1995, amid the provocative
  atmosphere, a young right-wing
  Jewish zealot assassinated Rabin.
  The Israeli tragedy was a
  cautionary example of targeted
  hatred leading to violence.
  Members of the Tea Party
  "Patriots" did not seem to care
  that their rhetoric was irrational,
  or that comparing Obama to
  Hitler and Stalin was
  contradictory and obviously
  hyperbolic. Their motives were
  entirely negative. By purging
  government of the multicultural
  evil that had seized power
  through illicit means (several
  activists told me they believed
  ACORN helped Obama steal the
  election), they were convinced
  that a mythical golden American
  yesteryear would return. They
  had no interest in building
  anything new or even articulating
  an agenda, much less discussing
  the merits of policies. The Tea
  Party's primary concern was
  cultural purification -- freedom
  from, not freedom to. Against the
  dark image of the president and
  his liberal allies, Tea Party
  activists defined themselves as
  the children of light. The racial
  subtext was always transparent.
  The Tea Party's strategy rested on
  a guerrilla campaign of chaos and
  sabotage designed not only to
  intimidate Democrats but also to
  disorient independent voters who
  might have supported health care
  reform. The Tea Partiers were
  convinced this would be an easy
  feat, since they believed the
  majority of the country was on
  their side -- that they represented
  the "Real America." At the 9-12
  rally Matt Kibbe, one of the
  march organizers, told the crowd
  that ABC News was reporting
  that 1 million to 1.5 million
  people were in attendance,
  something ABC denied, saying
  "ABCNews.com reported an
  approximate figure of 60,000 to
  70,000 protesters." Then Armey
  led the crowd in a chant of
  "Freedom works! Freedom
  works!" Unknown to most of the
  Tea Partiers, they were intoning
  the name of a corporate-funded
  Beltway advocacy group, not the
  battle cry of Mel Gibson William
  Wallace in Braveheart.
  Contrary to its image as a
  grassroots movement mobilized
  to stifle the machinations of
  Washington elites, the Tea Party
  movement was the creation of a
  constellation of industry-funded
  conservative groups with close
  Republican ties. The movement's
  leading puppet-master was Dick
  Armey, who directed resources
  and talking points to the Tea
  Party "Patriots" from his
  Washington, D.C.-based
  advocacy group, FreedomWorks.
  Among the corporate clients of
  Armey's lobbying firm, which he
  was forced to leave as a result of
  his involvement in the Tea
  Parties, was the pharmaceutical
  giant Bristol Myers Squibb, a
  company with a clear interest in
  defeating health care reform.
  (Armey's other "real American"
  clients included the Marxist terror
  cult, People's Mojahedin of Iran,
  which received funding and
  assistance from Saddam Hussein
  in order to launch terrorist strikes
  throughout the 1990's against
  Iranian civilian targets.) Armey
  collected a consulting fee of
  $250,000 directly from
  FreedomWorks and $300,000
  from allied astroturf front groups.
  FreedomWorks paid out much of
  its money to an assortment of
  Republican political consultants.
  If Armey was the Tea Party king,
  Sarah PalM was eager to be
  crowned the Tea Party queen.
  Just days after Obama's
  inauguration, Palin abruptly quit
  her job as Alaskan governor to
  vie for the honor. PalM's motives
  for quitting became clear when
  she inked a lucrative deal to write
  her political memoir Going
  Rogue, signed on as a regular
  contributor to Fox News, and
  received $1 million an episode for
  a reality show on cable television,
  "Sarah Palin's Alaska." PalM's
  book tour, which sent her through
  Middle America in a luxuriously
  outfitted bus, resembled both a
  presidential campaign and a
  traveling carnival.
  Whether or not PalM intends to
  run for president, her growing
  media presence has magnified her
  influence within the Republican
  Party. Yet the ever-expanding
  Palin phenomenon was greeted
  with hostility by Republican
  politicos desperately seeking to
  expand the party's base after the
  drubbing in 2008. Former
  McCain campaign manager Steve
  Schmidt warned that Palin's
  nomination in 2012 would be
  "catastrophic" for the GOP. His
  doomsday prediction was backed
  by an October Gallup poll
  revealing her as one of the most
  polarizing and unpopular political
  figures in the country with a
  disapproval rating of over 50
  percent. Unfortunately for
  Schmidt and other party
  pragmatists, those who approve
  of Palin represent the heartbeat of
  the Republican Party, its most
  fervent activists, and cannot be
  dissuaded from following her,
  even if she is leading the party off
  a cliff.
  A November 2009 special
  congressional election in New
  York's heavily Republican 23rd
  district was the first major test of
  Palin's power. Along with a
  parade of nationally recognized
  conservatives, Palin endorsed
  Doug Hoffman, an unknown far-
  right third-party candidate closely
  allied with the Tea Party, helping
  to force a popular moderate
  Republican politician, Dede
  Scozzafava, from the race. In the
  end, Palin's ideological purge in
  upstate New York led to an
  improbable Democratic victory,
  the first in that district in more
  than 100 years. After the disaster
  Palin and her allies claimed
  victory, insisting they had at least
  hastened the purge of
  ideologically impure Republicans
  from the party. She went on to
  endorse Rand Paul, the son of
  right-wing libertarian Rep. Ron
  Paul and a candidate in
  Kentucky's GOP senatorial
  primary, while Dick Cheney went
  out of his way to endorse Rand's
  regular Republican opponent,
  Trey Grayson, the Kentucky
  secretary of state.
  Following the Tea Party script of
  avoiding social issues like
  abortion and gay marriage in
  order to obscure the large
  presence of the Christian Right
  within the movement's ranks, the
  self-described "hardcore pro-
  lifer" Palin recast herself as a
  libertarian concerned primarily
  with issues of "economic
  freedom." She claimed the
  Democratic "cap and trade" plan
  to limit carbon emissions would
  harm the livelihood of blue-collar
  workers, and she assailed health
  care reform as a Trojan Horse for
  "socialism" (though she admitted
  her family "used to hustle over
  the border" to take advantage of
  Canada's single-payer health care
  system). But no Palin attack had
  as much effect as the one she
  blasted out on her Facebook page
  claiming the Obama health care
  plan included a provision for
  "death panels" that would
  recommend euthanasia for
  severely ill patients like her
  Down syndrome-afflicted son,
  Trig. With the click of a button,
  Palin transformed the tone of the
  health care debate from rancorous
  to poisonous.
  The source of Palin's "death
  panels" smear was a practiced
  propagandist, former New York
  Lieutenant Governor Betsy
  McCaughey. When President Bill
  Clinton introduced health care
  reform during his first term,
  McCaughey falsely claimed in an
  article published in the New
  Republic and widely circulated by
  Republicans, that the plan would
  force consumers to drop their
  private plans and buy into the
  government's program (the article
  would go on to win a National
  Magazine Award and then be
  retracted years later by the New
  Republic's editors). Now she was
  back in the spotlight, pushing a
  rumor that would be voted by the
  non-partisan fact-checking Web
  site Politifact.com as "the lie of
  2009." McCaughey's latest
  innuendo was boosted by the cult
  of political crank Lyndon
  LaRouche, which mobilized to
  push the rumor into the
  mainstream.
  In June 2009, one of LaRouche's
  top lieutenants publicly
  confronted Ezekiel Emanuel, the
  National Institute of Health's
  chief bioethicist and brother of
  White House chief of staff Rahm
  Emanuel, accusing him of
  seeking to reintroduce Hitler's T-
  4 program to kill the handicapped
  through health care reform.
  "President Obama has put in
  place a reform apparatus reviving
  the euthanasia of Hitler Germany
  in 1939, that began the genocide
  there," LaRouche staffer Anton
  Chaitkin charged. Soon,
  LaRouche's followers were on
  street corners around the country
  with posters depicting Obama
  with a Hitler moustache. At a
  town hall forum on health care
  reform hosted by Democratic
  Rep. Barney Frank, a LaRouche
  follower waved one of the
  Obama-as-Hitler posters and
  demanded, "Why do you continue
  to support a Nazi policy, as
  Obama has expressly supported
  this policy?"
  Two months later, after Palin
  whispered the rumor on
  Facebook, prominent
  conservatives from former
  Speaker of the House Newt
  Gingrich to ranking Senate
  Finance Committee member
  Charles Grassley parroted her
  claims before audiences of
  indignant Tea Partiers. Not to be
  outdone, Glenn Beck devoted an
  extended rant on his show to the
  reality of death panels. Echoing
  the LaRouche cultists, Beck
  accused Ezekiel Emanuel of "the
  devaluing of human life, putting a
  price on each individual." He
  thundered, "The death panel is
  not a firing squad. Rationing is
  inevitable and they know it!"
  The death panel rumor served a
  variety of functions, all useful to
  the movement, but not necessarily
  to the Republican Party. Most
  importantly, the rumor resonated
  both with hard-core libertarians
  who resented the very existence
  of the federal government and
  Christian Right activists who
  viewed the legalization of
  abortion as a slippery slope to
  government-sponsored
  euthanasia. The hysteria it
  engendered helped repair the rift
  exposed by the Terri Schiavo
  charade in 2005, when the
  evangelical conservative James
  Dobson publicly clashed with
  Armey, the libertarian leader,
  over the right of the government
  to interfere in a private family
  matter of life and death.
  The slurring of Obama as a sort
  of sleeper agent crypto-Muslim
  helped bring the neoconservatives
  back into the fray. The new neo-
  con generation was led by Dick
  Cheney's daughter, Liz, who
  founded an anti-Obama advocacy
  group, Keep America Safe, by
  leveraging donations from pro-
  Israel sources. Asked by CNN's
  Larry King about the Birther
  movement that was challenging
  Obama's status as an American
  citizen, Liz Cheney remarked,
  "One of the reasons you see
  people so concerned about this is
  people are uncomfortable with
  having for the first time ever, I
  think, a president who seems so
  reluctant to defend the nation
  overseas." With the libertarians,
  Christian Right, and the neo-cons
  seated around the same table,
  united in resentment of the alien
  president, the conservative
  movement was whole again.
  The experiments in "Terror
  Management Theory" of Sheldon
  Solomon, professor of
  psychology at Skidmore College,
  Jeff Greenberg, professor of
  psychologist at the Unviersity of
  Arizona, and Tom Pyszczynski,
  professor of psychology at the
  University of Colorado, have
  demonstrated the connection
  between fear of death and
  intensification of conservative
  attitudes. The findings help
  explain the effectiveness of the
  death panel rumor and
  insinuations by conservative
  figures that Obama was not truly
  American and somehow
  sympathetic to Islamic terrorists.
  Indeed, these seemingly irrational
  smears were guided by tactical
  reasoning, calculated to agitate
  voters with constant reminders of
  their own mortality. Whether or
  not Independents responded, the
  rhetoric of death kept the Tea
  Party crowd in a persistent state
  of panic and rage, ensuring a
  standing army ready to fan out to
  rallies and town halls at the first
  sign of liberal malfeasance.
  Obama's first year in office was
  marked by more than raucous
  protests; there were several
  disturbing murders committed by
  far-right extremists. In April
  2009, a 22-year-old neo-Nazi
  wannabe named Richard
  Poplawsi mowed down a SWAT
  team of Pittsburgh cops, killing
  three. Poplawski's best friend told
  reporters the young killer "grew
  angry recently over fears Obama
  would outlaw guns." Later it was
  discovered that Poplawski had
  posted a video clip to a neo-Nazi
  Web site portraying Fox's Glenn
  Beck contemplating the existence
  of concentration camps. (After a
  characteristically thorough
  investigation, Beck conceded
  they were not real.) On another
  occasion, the killer posted a video
  promoting Tea Party rallies. A
  month after the Pittsburgh
  bloodbath, Scott Roeder, a
  supporter of the militant anti-
  abortion group Operation Rescue,
  shot Dr. George Tiller to death
  while he prayed at his church in
  Wichita, Kansas. Tiller was
  declared fair game by the anti-
  abortion movement because of
  his role as Kansas's only late-term
  abortion provider. During at least
  28 episodes of Bill O'Reilly's
  "O'Reilly Factor," O'Reilly had
  referred to Tiller as "Tiller the
  baby killer," a criminal guilty of
  "Nazi stuff." "I wouldn't want to
  be [Tiller] if there is a Judgment
  Day," O'Reilly proclaimed.
  In August 2009, a middle-aged
  professional named George
  Sodini walked into a health club
  in suburban Pittsburgh and
  gunned down three women. The
  mainstream press explained
  Sodini's motives away by homing
  in on passages in his online
  diaries describing his loneliness,
  inability to convince women to
  have sex with him, and descent
  into chronic masturbation. Nearly
  every major media outlet omitted
  or ignored a long deranged entry
  in which Sodini projected his
  sexual frustration onto Obama,
  whom he seemed to view as a
  symbol of black male virility and
  predation.
  The day after Obama's election
  victory, Sodini wrote: "Good luck
  to Obama! He will be successful.
  The liberal media LOVES him.
  Amerika has chosen The Black
  Man. Good! In light of this I got
  ideas outside of Obama's plans
  for the economy and such. Here it
  is: Every black man should get a
  young white girl ... Kinda a
  reverse indentured servitude
  thing. Every daddy know when
  he sends his little girl to college,
  she be ... real good. I saw it. 'Not
  my little girl', daddy says! (Yeah
  right!!) Black dudes have thier
  [sic] choice of best white??
  [ellipses in original]."
  In another posting to an anti-
  Clinton forum in 1994, during the
  height of the Republicans'
  Whitewater investigation, Sodini
  revealed that he had purchased a
  bumper sticker reading, "Stop
  Socialism, Impeach Clinton,"
  from a National Review ad. A
  year later, Sodini ranted on an
  anti-government militia site, "I
  am convinced that more drastic
  action is required to bring the
  country back to the Constitutional
  order that it was 200 years ago. I
  don't think any group of political
  leaders will achieve this for us."
  Whether or not Sodini's murder
  spree was motivated by his
  political passions, he was
  pathologically death-driven and
  fixated on the phantasmagoria of
  right-wing imagery. In his final
  diary entry, Sodini proclaimed,
  "Death lives!"
  More than any other media figure
  of the Obama era, Glenn Beck
  encouraged the campaign of
  racial demonization and
  conspiracy that consumed the Tea
  Party "Patriots." During a
  broadcast of "Fox and Friends,"
  Beck opined that Obama "has
  exposed himself over and over
  and over again as a guy who has a
  deep-seated hatred for white
  people, or the white culture." As
  evidence, Beck pointed to White
  House green-jobs czar Van Jones,
  an African American former
  community organizer who was
  eventually forced to resign as a
  direct result of Beck's crusade.
  From there, Beck targeted another
  black Obama adviser, Valerie
  Jarrett, highlighting her ties to
  ACORN while upholding her and
  Jones as evidence of Obama's
  "socialist" agenda. In another
  broadcast, Beck played an audio
  clip of unidentified African
  Americans referring to "Obama
  money" as they collected welfare
  checks in Detroit. Then he
  showed footage of members of a
  Kansas City-based youth group
  practicing a step show, a
  traditional African-American
  group dance apparently
  unfamiliar enough to Beck and
  his transfixed audience that he
  felt at liberty to claim the footage
  as evidence that "Obama's SS"
  was being trained across inner-
  city America.
  In September 2009, Beck
  relentlessly targeted ACORN, the
  Right's new favorite hobgoblin,
  admitting that he intended to use
  the poor people's advocacy group
  to distract his viewers from the
  health care debate. "Trust me,"
  Beck said, "Everybody now says
  they're going to be talking about
  health care. I don't think so." (His
  statement was reminiscent of
  Rush Limbaugh's scandal-
  mongering remark during the
  early Clinton administration:
  "Whitewater is about health
  care.") Beck promptly cued up a
  series of hidden camera videos
  shot by conservative youth
  activists James O'Keefe and
  Hannah Giles inside ACORN
  field offices. In the videos,
  O'Keefe baited African-American
  staffers into making statements
  explaining that Giles, who
  claimed she was a prostitute,
  could obtain low-income housing.
  O'Keefe edited in images of
  himself clad in an outlandish
  pimp costume to create the
  impression that he was dressed
  that way during the meetings with
  ACORN; however, Giles later
  admitted her partner had lied
  about wearing his costume to
  farther ineriminate ACORN. In
  the end. ACORN was exonerated
  of all criminal wrongdoing while
  in a separate incident O'Keefe
  was arrested and charged with a
  federal crime after he and several
  conservative pals disguised
  themselves as telephone
  repairmen and attempted to
  wiretap phone lines in the office
  of Senator Mary 'Landrieu of
  Louisiana. Like Ryan Sorba,
  O'Keefe and his posse were
  movement cadres paid and
  directed by well-funded
  conservative outfits; O'Keefe had
  been trained by the Leadership
  Institute, the right-wing youth
  Froup that nurtured leadinG, lights
  like Jack Abriunoff, Karl Rove,
  Ralph Reed, and Jeff Gannon.
  While O'Keefe and his buddies
  plea-bargained with prosecutors,
  Beck basked in his formula for
  success. His show earned the
  hithest ratings at Fox News,
  topping network franchises like
  O'Reilly and Sean Hannity. In the
  process. Beck's opinions became
  firmly implanted in the nervous
  systems of Tea Party activists.
  "Glenn Beck has taught us
  everything we know," a
  demonstrator at the 9-12 rally told
  Me. "He's opened our eyes to so
  much."
  But unlike the right-wing radio
  warhorses who helped usher in
  Newt Gin<trich's Republican
  counter-revolution of 1994, Beck
  was not an authentic product of
  the movement. When Rush
  Limbaugh first began dominating
  the AM airwaves, Beck was
  mired in the world of mid-level
  commercial radio, delivering
  corny yarns about lesbians and
  celebrity trash in hopes of
  becoming the next Howard Stem.
  By night, as he has tirelessly
  recounted, he medicated his
  anxiety with cocaine and alcohol,
  destroying his first marriage in
  the process. "We remember
  Glenn from the womanizing, the
  drinking, the drugs. Everybody
  who knew him at the time saw
  what a: complete mess he was," a
  shock jock from Tampa, Florida,
  who called himself Bubba the
  Love Sponge remarked to me
  during a broadcast of his
  nationally syndicated show.
  Like Dusty Rhodes, the pseudo-
  populist demagogue of Elia
  Kazan's 1957 film, A Face in the
  Crowd. Beck was a self-
  destructive drifter Who might
  have been crumpled up with a
  bottle of Mad Dog 20/20 in an
  alleyway or been locked away in
  ,a prison cell had fame not found
  him first. Beck was only able to
  stabilize his life when he made
  his escape from freedom.,
  marrying a conservative Mormon,
  converting to her religion, and
  transmuting his urge to abuse
  drugs into conservative radio
  diatribes. When Beck first broke
  into television On CNN's
  Headline News Channel, he
  struggled to articulate a coherent
  political world view. If he
  distinguished himself from other
  big-time conservative .hosts in
  any way, he did so through
  strained and often snide attempts
  at humor, remnants of his failed
  radio career. Nevertheless, with
  help from his liberal agent,
  Matthew Hiltzik, Beck snagged a
  primetime slot at Fox News in
  early 2009. Around this same
  time, Beck began promoting the
  work of an arcane Mormon
  conspiracy-peddler named W.
  Clean Skousen, whom he
  described as his political lodestar.
  Suddenly, Beck had something
  more to offer than irritable mental
  gestures.
  Thanks to Beck's designation of
  Skousen's pseudohistorical tract
  The 5000 Year Leap as "required
  reading" on the Web site of his 9-
  12 Project, and his promotion of
  the book on his show, the
  previously obscure Skousen.
  became the Hidden imam of the
  Tea Party movement. By the
  summer of 2009, Skousen's Leap
  was among the top 10 books on
  Amazon.com and a fixture on
  literature tables at Tea Party
  gatherings. It went from selling a
  puny couple of thousand copies in
  2007 to selling over 200,000
  copies in 2009. Just why the book
  generated such an instant appeal
  is difficult to understand. It is
  little more than a slapdash of
  quotes from the Founding
  Fathers, often taken out of
  context and deliberately
  oversimplified, to explain why
  America is the greatest nation in
  history. in the process, Skousen
  claims that church and state
  separation is un-American, that
  "coercive taxation" is communist,
  and that marriage is the
  underpinning of a free society.
  Benjamin Franklin., who wrote at
  length on the merits of "amours"
  with "old women," and who
  famously solicited prostitutes and
  fathered a son of out of wedlock,
  was the ultimate authority
  Skousen quoted on the
  importance of marriage.
  Though Skousen claims the
  Founders as the world's foremost
  source of eternal wisdom, he
  buttressed his points with fringe
  sources like the conspiracist
  Norman Dodd's screeds about the
  Illuminati. According. to Skousen,
  Dodd claimed that "powerful
  influences congregating in the
  United States" like the
  Rockefellers and the Rothschilds
  had forced the United States into
  World War I. Skousen published
  Dodd's manifestoes in his obscure
  journal Freemen's Digest, which
  he founded for the express
  purpose of propagating
  conspiracies.
  Skousen's paranoid politics were
  an outgrowth of his participation.
  in extreme anti-communist
  groups during the 1950s. He
  boasted of a close friendship with
  then-FBI director J. Edgar
  Hoover and said he provided him
  with research on communist
  plots, claims disputed by FBI
  historians. (During a recent
  interview. Skousen's son, Paul,
  told me that contrary to rumors of
  Hoover's cross-dressing and
  homosexual dalliances, he would
  set the top cop up on blind dates
  with live women.) Skousen was
  fired from his job as Salt Lake
  City's police chief for, in the
  words of the city's conservative
  Mormon mayor, "conduct[ing]
  hi.s office as chief of police in
  exactly the same manner in which
  the communists operate their
  government." From there,
  Skousen sailed off to the far
  shores of the Right-peddling
  conspiracy tracts like The Naked
  Communist-, and earning
  condemnation from his beloved
  FBI, which accused him in an
  internal memo of "promoting
  [his] own anti-communism for
  obvious financial purposes."
  Skousen's vocal support for the
  far-right John Birch Society's
  claim that communists controlled
  President Dwight Eisenhower
  cost him the support of the
  corporate backers who had paid
  for his Red-bashing lecture tours.
  He went off the radar for several
  years, returning during the late
  1960s to accuse the Jewish
  Rothschild family of secretly
  bankrolling everyone from Ho
  Chi Minh to the civil rights.
  movement. By the late 1970s,
  even the Church of Latter Day
  Saints distanced itself from
  Skousen and his conspiracy
  theories. His work fell through
  the margins and might have
  disappeared entirely had Beck not
  revived it, turning The 5000 Year
  Leap into the bible of the Tea
  Party movement. Journalist
  Alexander Zaitchik observed in
  his authoritative profile of
  Skousen on Salon.com that
  Skousen's renewed influence
  through Beck and the Tea Party
  'suggests that the modern base of
  the Republican Party is headed to
  a very strange place."
  Besides influencing Beck,
  Skousen's teachings inspired one
  of the Tea Party movement's most
  visible grassroots celebrities,
  retired Sheriff Richard Mack. I
  met Mack in February at a far-
  right rally just outside of
  Montgomery, Alabama. On a
  makeshift stage towed into the
  middle of a rodeo arena by a
  pickup truck, Mack recalled with
  reverence his mentorship by
  Skousen, who he said taught him
  everything he needed to know
  about the Constitution. Mack
  urged his spellbound audience to
  stockpile ammo and store food.
  "If you control the food supply,"
  Mack warned, "you control the
  people. And that's the first step to
  slavery."
  Already a hero to conservatives
  for successfully suing the Clinton
  administration over the provision
  in the Brady Handgun Violence
  Prevention Act requiring law
  enforcement to conduct criminal
  background checks of gun
  purchasers, Mack reemerged in
  the Obama era as the archetypal
  local lawman who vowed to resist
  the tyrannical federal
  government. Along with a few
  dozen former and active military
  and law enforcement personnel,
  Mack helped form a self-styled
  Tea Party militia called the
  Oathkeepers. Galvanized by their
  fear of creeping socialism, the
  Oathkeepers solemnly swore to
  refuse tyrannical federal orders
  such as cooperating with foreign
  troops and forcing Americans
  into concentration camps.
  Because the group's members
  trained for combat, the vow came
  with suggestion of armed
  resistance.
  Besides Mack, the Oathkeepers
  attracted a coterie of militia
  movement retreads into its ranks.
  The most well-established figure
  was Mike Vanderboegh, a
  longtime militia fanatic who
  published a booklet in the mid-
  1990s entitled Strategy and
  Tactics for a Militia Civil War,
  calling for sniper attacks on "war
  criminals, secret policemen, rats."
  With Obama in office,
  Vandeboegh churned out anti-
  government screeds on right-wing
  blogs with renewed passion and
  supported his efforts by cashing
  in the $1,300 in federal disability
  compensation he received each
  month.
  For all the energy the far right
  exerted in its campaign to
  strangle Obama's agenda, it was a
  Democrat who posed the greatest
  threat to the passage of health
  care reform. Representative Bart
  Stupak of Michigan had been in
  office since 1993, placing him
  among the senior leadership of
  the so-called centrist Blue Dog
  Democrats. When health care
  reform was introduced in
  Congress, Stupak became the
  leader of an informal caucus of
  anti-abortion Democrats, making
  him the de facto swing vote on
  the House version of the bill. By
  extension, Stupak was the point
  man in the campaign to ensure
  that the bill would not allow
  federal funding for abortion for
  low-income women.
  But after close consultation with
  leaders of the U.S. Conference of
  Catholic Bishops, Stupak went a
  step further. He introduced a
  draconian amendment to block
  women from paying for abortions
  from even their own private
  insurance plans. The amendment,
  which passed the House but was
  shut down in the Senate, became
  a key sticking point in health care
  negotiations. 'He's a big hero
  now in the pro-life community,"
  former Bush Catholic issues
  adviser Deal Hudson told me in
  November 2009. "Thanks to him,
  this is the first time I can
  remember the pro-life Democrats
  having any power."
  To the chagrin of the
  Republicans, Stupak entertained
  offers of compromise from the
  Democratic leadership.
  According to Hudson, the
  Catholic Bishops were keen to
  see health care reform pass, but
  only if the bill contained a clear
  provision forbidding patients
  from spending federal money on
  abortion. Finally, in March, after
  pressure from House Majority
  Leader Nancy Pelosi, Obam.a
  agreed to sign an executive order
  forbidding the federal funding of
  abortion. Stupak had been
  mollified. Now he and his anti-
  abortion caucus pledged to
  deliver the swing votes the
  Democrats needed to pass the
  bill. As soon as reports seeped out
  declaring the imminent passage
  of health care reform, major
  right-wing blogs like
  RedState.org churned out virulent
  denunciations of Stupak, calling
  him a traitor and sellout. The blog
  comment sections filled up with
  dozens of diatribes referring to
  Stupak in language previously
  reserved for Dr. George Tiller:
  "Bart the Baby-Killer."
  On March 20, thousands of Tea
  Party activists surrounded the
  Capitol's Longworth Building in
  expectation of Obama's pep talk
  to the House Democrats and the
  health care vote. Democratic
  Representative john Lewis, a
  hero of the civil rights movement,
  and Representative Barney Frank,
  the first openly gay member of
  Congress, passed through the
  crowd on their way inside the
  Capitol. Thsligger!" a demonstrator
  barked at Lewis. Another called
  Frank a "faggot," eliciting
  laughter and cheers from nearby
  protesters. Meanwhile, as another
  African-American Democrat,
  Representative Emanuel Cleaver,
  ascended the Capitol steps, a
  protester who had been screaming
  at Lewis and Frank spat on his
  face.
  With the demonstration carried
  on into the night, cries of "Kill
  the bill!'' drifted into calls for
  violence. "I would gladly stand
  with any of you men here and
  take these fascists down," a man
  in camouflage battle dress
  uniform proclaimed in front of an
  amateur videographer, pointing
  toward the Capitol. "You haven't
  heard the last of me!"
  The next day, Republican
  members of Congress emerged
  from the Longworth Building to
  salute the Tea Partiers. The
  demonstrators cheered wildly for
  their proxies on the inside.
  Finally, after hours of
  impassioned speeches on the
  House floor, the bill passed. But
  the drama was hardly over.
  Republican Representative Joe
  Pitts, an anti-abortion Catholic
  who co-authored Stupak's
  original amendment, demanded a
  motion to bring it back to the
  floor for a vote, a transparent
  exercise in grandstanding that
  was certain to fail. In response,
  Stupak rushed to the podium with
  a stinging rebuke to Pitts and the
  Republicans. "The motion to
  commit does not support life,"
  Stupak declared. "It is the
  Democrats who have stood up...."
  Heckling from the Republican
  side interrupted his statement. As
  Stupak looked around the House
  chamber, Rep. Randy
  Neugebauer, a right-wing
  Republican from Texas who
  openly supported the Birther
  movement, began shouting at him
  from the backbench, "Baby
  killer!" Other Republicans joined
  in, parroting base insults.
  While the Republicans sank their
  heads in defeat, some more
  militant devotees of the Tea Party
  movement called for a right-wing
  Kristallnacht. "If you wish to
  send a message that Pelosi and
  her party cannot fail to hear,
  break their windows,"
  Vanderboegh of the Oathkeepers
  wrote on a far-right blog hours
  after the bill passed. "Break them
  NOW. Break them and run to
  break again." Within three days,
  windows and doors at Democratic
  Party headquarters in New York,
  Kansas and Arizona had been
  shattered.
  Meanwhile, at least 10
  Democratic members of Congress
  reported receiving death threats.
  Images of nooses were faxed to
  the offices of Stupak and James
  Clyburn, an African-American
  congressman from South
  Carolina. Representative Anthony
  Weiner, an especially vocal
  proponent of health care reform,
  received a menacing letter filled
  with white powder. The brother
  of Representative Torn Perriello,
  another health care supporter, had
  his home gas line deliberately
  sabotaged after a local Tea Party
  organizer posted his address
  online (he had meant to post the
  congressman's) and encouraged
  activists to "drop by" to express
  their anger about Perriello's
  recent vote. In Tucson, Arizona,
  the windows of Democratic
  Representative Gabrielle
  Giffbrds' office were shattered by
  shots from a pellet gun. And a
  brick was thrown through the
  window of Representative Louise
  Slaughter's office in New York as
  her voicemail filled with threats
  of impending sniper attacks.
  After the Passage of the health
  care bill, the Tea Party floated
  into a gray zone between
  authoritarianism and anarchy.
  Crusading to restore a holy social
  order, they promoted disorder.
  Claiming to protect democracy,
  they smashed windows of elected
  representatives. Warning of death
  panels, they called in death
  threats. With the atmosphere of
  violence thickening, Palin took to
  her Twitter account to issue a
  battle cry: "Don't Retreat,
  Instead—RELOAD!" Thus
  concluded the first phase of the
  Obama era that was to usher in a
  peaceable kingdom of
  bipartisanship.

  the new epilogue from Max
  Blumenthal's book, Republic
  Gomorrah, now out in paperback
  (Basic/Nation Books, 2009).
  "He will tell you
  that he wants a
  strong authority to
  take from him the
  crushing
  responsibility of
  thinking for
  himself Since the
  Republic is weak,
  he is led to break
  the law out of love
  for obedience. But
  is it really strong
  authority that he
  wishes? In reality
  he demands
  rigorous order for
  others, and for
  himself disorder
  without
  responsibility." --

  Jean-Paul Sartre,
  "Anti-Semite and
  Jew"
  I am not sure when I first detected
  the noxious fumes that would
  envelop the conservative
  movement in the Obama era. It
  might have been early on, in
  April 2009, when I visited a
  series of gun shows in rural
  California and Nevada. Perusing
  tables piled high with high-
  caliber semi-automatic weapons
  and chatting with anyone in my
  vicinity, I heard urgent warnings
  of mass roundups, concentration
  camps, and a socialist
  government in Washington.
  "These people that are purchasing
  these guns are people that are
  worried about what's going on in
  this country," a gun dealer told
  me outside a show in Reno.
  "Good luck Obama," a young gun
  enthusiast remarked to me. "We
  outnumber him 100 to 1." At this
  time, the Tea Party movement
  had not even registered on the
  national media's radar.
  In September 2009, I led a panel
  discussion about this book inside
  an auditorium filled with nearly
  100 students and faculty at the
  University of California-
  Riverside. Beside me sat Jonathan
  Walton, an African-American
  professor of religious studies and
  prolific writer, and Mark Takano,
  an erudite, openly gay former
  Democratic congressional
  candidate and local community
  college trustee. In the middle of
  our discussion, a dozen College
  Republicans stormed the front of
  the stage with signs denouncing
  me as a "left-wing hack" while a
  hysterical young man leaped from
  the crowd, blowing kisses
  mockingly at Takano while
  heckling Walton as a "racist."
  Afterward, university police

  officers insisted on escorting me
  to my ride after the right-wing
  heckler attempted to follow me as
  he shouted threats.
  Who was this stalker? Just a
  concerned citizen worried about
  taxes? His name was Ryan Sorba
  and he was an operative of a
  heavily funded national
  conservative youth outfit, the
  Intercollegiate Studies Institute.
  Besides founding dozens of
  Republican youth groups across
  the country, Sorba has devoted an
  exceptional amount of energy to
  his interest in homosexuals. His
  intellectual output consists of a
  tract titled The Born Gay Hoax,
  arguing that homosexuality is at
  once a curable disease and a
  bogus trend manufactured by
  academic leftists. Adding to his
  credentials, Sorba has a history of
  run-ins with the law, he explained
  when I called him about the
  order.
  My encounter with this
  aggressive right-wing cadre
  seemed a strange, isolated event.
  But the hostility turned out to be
  symptomatic of the intensifying
  campaign to delegitimize
  President Obama and his allies in
  Congress. The Right's days of
  rage were only beginning.
  Through his first year in office,
  Obama seemed oblivious to the
  threat of the far right. He
  campaigned against partisanship,
  declaring that there were "no red
  states" and no "conservative
  America." Apparently, he thought
  it was merely a contrivance or
  myth that there were people who
  rejected science, demonized gays,
  assailed minority and women's
  rights -- or that they genuinely
  believed in what they said.

  Speaking of changing
  Washington, Obama seemed to
  think that the entire history of
  politics since the rise of Reagan
  and the Right and their strategies
  of polarization was not deeply
  rooted but a superficial problem
  attributable to certain "divisive"
  personalities, easily wiped away
  with gestures toward
  bipartisanship. His view of the
  parties was that they were simply
  mirror images sharing
  fundamental beliefs but separated
  by "partisans." The skilled and
  devoted community organizer
  could bring them together.
  Many of his supporters in the
  media, often part and parcel of
  political wars over the years,
  reinforced and amplified his
  innocence, proclaiming he was
  the one at last who could "bridge•
  the partisan divide." Andrew
  Sullivan, a disaffected
  conservative who once called
  critics of George W. Bush
  policies "fifth columnists" but
  now fervently supporting Obama,
  wrote that the new president was
  destined to become "a liberal
  Reagan who can reunite
  America." This optimism
  pervaded the Obama White
  House as the president and his
  aides sought out Republicans
  willing to vote for his programs.
  After all, why couldn't we all just
  get along?
  In his autobiographical book The
  Audacity of Hope, Obama
  highlighted a key component of
  his political strategy: "I serve as a
  blank screen on which people of
  vastly different political stripes
  project their own views." Once he
  was elected, conservatives
  concluded that they could reverse
  Obama's strength by transforming
  him into a human tableau for the

  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770985 Date: 08/31/2015
  most fearsome images they could
  conjure.
  Obama's multiracial background
  was crucial in cultivating
  resentment among the shock
  troops. Those who rejected
  Obama's legitimacy to serve as
  president on the basis of his
  background gave birth to the
  "Birther" movement that sought
  to challenge his citizenship. The
  movement's most visible figure,
  and therefore the most eccentric,
  was Orly Taitz, a dentist and self-
  trained lawyer who had
  immigrated from the former
  Soviet republican of Moldova to
  Israel before settling in the
  conservative bastion of Orange
  County, California. Convinced by
  claims on the far-right Web site
  WorldNetDaily that Obama
  planned to create a "civilian
  national security force," Taitz
  told me she "realized that Obama
  was another Stalin--it's a cross
  between Stalinist USSR and
  Hitler's Germany."
  After becoming transfixed by
  online conspiracy theories
  claiming Obama's family had
  forged his birth certificate in
  Hawaii, Taitz snapped into
  action. She filed a lawsuit in
  November 2008 with California
  Secretary of State Debra Bowen
  demanding an investigation into
  Obama's eligibility to serve as
  president. Taitz's plaintiff in the
  case was Wiley Drake, an Orange
  County radio preacher and former
  second vice president of the
  Southern Baptist Convention who
  once publicly prayed for Obama's
  death. While her lawsuit went
  nowhere, and subsequent suits
  earned her angry rebukes from
  judges, Taitz became an instant
  media sensation, delivering
  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770985 Date: 08/31/2015

  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770985 Date: 08/31/2015
  heavily accented screeds against
  Obama before friendly
  interviewers from Sean Haimity
  to CNN's Lou Dobbs, who Taitz
  called her "greatest supporter"
  and who was eventually fired as
  an indirect result of his hosting of
  her.
  In March 2009, Texas Rep.
  Randy Neugebauer signed on to a
  Birther bill proposing that future
  presidential candidates must
  prove their citizenship before
  becoming eligible to campaign.
  The Birther movement had found
  its voice in goverment and made
  an indelible impact on the
  Republican grassroots. By June
  2009, 28 percent of Republican
  respondents to a Kos/Research
  2000 poll said they thought
  Obama wasn't born in the United
  States, while 30 percent "weren't
  sure." "Obama should be in the
  Big House," Taitz shrieked to me,
  "not the White House!"
  When Obama announced health
  care reform as the first major
  initiative of his administration,
  the conservative movement
  activated a campaign of
  demonization -- transformational
  politics -- designed to turn Obama
  into the "Other," making him
  seem as unfamiliar, and therefore
  as threatening, as possible. When
  the president urged the Congress
  to deliver a health care reform bill
  in 2009, the Right staged a living
  theater of political hatred,
  Obama's dream of bipartisanship
  transformed into a nightmarish
  version of "Marat/Sade." On
  September 12, 2009, tens of
  thousands of far-right activists
  belonging to a loose
  confederation of anti-government
  groups called the Tea Party
  Patriots converged on
  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770985 Date: 08/31/2015

  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770985 Date: 08/31/2015
  Washington's National Mall for a
  giant protest against the Obama
  health care plan. The date was
  significant: Fox News's top-
  ranked talk show host Glenn
  Beck had declared the birth of the
  "9-12 Project" to restore the sense
  of unity -- and siege mentality --
  that Americans experienced on
  September 11, 2001. But this
  time, Obama -- not Osama -- was
  the enemy.
  While covering the rally, I
  witnessed sign after sign
  declaring Obama a greater danger
  to America's security than al-
  Qaida; demonstrators held images
  that juxtaposed Obama's face
  with images of evildoers from
  Hitler to Pol Pot to Bin Laden;
  others carried signs questioning
  Obama's status as a U.S. citizen.
  "We can fight al-Qaida, we can't
  kill Obama," said an aging
  demonstrator. Another told me,
  "Obama is the biggest Nazi in the
  world," pointing to placards he
  had fashioned depicting Obama
  and House Majority Leader
  Nancy Pelosi in SS outfits.
  According to another activist,
  Obama's agenda was similar to
  Hitler's: "Hitler took over the
  banking industry, did he not? And
  Hitler had his own personal secret
  service police. [The community-
  organizing group] ACORN is an
  extension of that."
  The seemingly incongruous Tea
  Party propaganda recalled signs
  waved by right-wing Jewish
  settlers during rallies against
  Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak
  Rabin and his support of the
  peace process, portraying him as
  an SS officer and as the French
  collaborator Marshall Petain. In
  1995, amid the provocative
  atmosphere, a young right-wing
  Jewish zealot assassinated Rabin.

  The Israeli tragedy was a
  cautionary example of targeted
  hatred leading to violence.
  Members of the Tea Party
  "Patriots" did not seem to care
  that their rhetoric was irrational,
  or that comparing Obama to
  Hitler and Stalin was
  contradictory and obviously
  hyperbolic. Their motives were
  entirely negative. By purging
  government of the multicultural
  evil that had seized power
  through illicit means (several
  activists told me they believed
  ACORN helped Obama steal the
  election), they were convinced
  that a mythical golden American
  yesteryear would return. They
  had no interest in building
  anything new or even articulating
  an agenda, much less discussing
  the merits of policies. The Tea
  Party's primary concern was
  cultural purification -- freedom
  from, not freedom to. Against the
  dark image of the president and
  his liberal allies, Tea Party
  activists defined themselves as
  the children of light. The racial
  subtext was always transparent.
  The Tea Party's strategy rested on
  a guerrilla campaign of chaos and
  sabotage designed not only to
  intimidate Democrats but also to
  disorient independent voters who
  might have supported health care
  reform. The Tea Partiers were
  convinced this would be an easy
  feat, since they believed the
  majority of the country was on
  their side -- that they represented
  the "Real America." At the 9-12
  rally Matt Kibbe, one of the
  march organizers, told the crowd
  that ABC News was reporting
  that 1 million to 1.5 million
  people were in attendance,
  something ABC denied, saying
  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770985 Date: 08/31/2015

  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770985 Date: 08/31/2015
  "ABCNews.com reported an
  approximate figure of 60,000 to
  70,000 protesters." Then Armey
  led the crowd in a chant of
  "Freedom works! Freedom
  works!" Unknown to most of the
  Tea Partiers, they were intoning
  the name of a corporate-funded
  Beltway advocacy group, not the
  battle cry of Mel Gibson William
  Wallace in Braveheart.
  Contrary to its image as a
  grassroots movement mobilized
  to stifle the machinations of
  Washington elites, the Tea Party
  movement was the creation of a
  constellation of industry-funded
  conservative groups with close
  Republican ties. The movement's
  leading puppet-master was Dick
  Armey, who directed resources
  and talking points to the Tea
  Party "Patriots" from his
  Washington, D.C.-based
  advocacy group, FreedomWorks.
  Among the corporate clients of
  Armey's lobbying firm, which he
  was forced to leave as a result of
  his involvement in the Tea
  Parties, was the pharmaceutical
  giant Bristol Myers Squibb, a
  company with a clear interest in
  defeating health care reform.
  (Armey's other "real American"
  clients included the Marxist terror
  cult, People's Mojahedin of Iran,
  which received funding and
  assistance from Saddam Hussein
  in order to launch terrorist strikes
  throughout the 1990's against
  Iranian civilian targets.) Armey
  collected a consulting fee of
  $250,000 directly from
  FreedomWorks and $300,000
  from allied astroturf front groups.
  FreedomWorks paid out much of
  its money to an assortment of
  Republican political consultants.
  If Armey was the Tea Party king,

  Sarah PalM was eager to be
  crowned the Tea Party queen.
  Just days after Obama's
  inauguration, Palin abruptly quit
  her job as Alaskan governor to
  vie for the honor. PalM's motives
  for quitting became clear when
  she inked a lucrative deal to write
  her political memoir Going
  Rogue, signed on as a regular
  contributor to Fox News, and
  received $1 million an episode for
  a reality show on cable television,
  "Sarah Palin's Alaska." PalM's
  book tour, which sent her through
  Middle America in a luxuriously
  outfitted bus, resembled both a
  presidential campaign and a
  traveling carnival.
  Whether or not PalM intends to
  run for president, her growing
  media presence has magnified her
  influence within the Republican
  Party. Yet the ever-expanding
  Palin phenomenon was greeted
  with hostility by Republican
  politicos desperately seeking to
  expand the party's base after the
  drubbing in 2008. Former
  McCain campaign manager Steve
  Schmidt warned that Palin's
  nomination in 2012 would be
  "catastrophic" for the GOP. His
  doomsday prediction was backed
  by an October Gallup poll
  revealing her as one of the most
  polarizing and unpopular political
  figures in the country with a
  disapproval rating of over 50
  percent. Unfortunately for
  Schmidt and other party
  pragmatists, those who approve
  of Palin represent the heartbeat of
  the Republican Party, its most
  fervent activists, and cannot be
  dissuaded from following her,
  even if she is leading the party off
  a cliff.
  A November 2009 special

  congressional election in New
  York's heavily Republican 23rd
  district was the first major test of
  Palin's power. Along with a
  parade of nationally recognized
  conservatives, Palin endorsed
  Doug Hoffman, an unknown far-
  right third-party candidate closely
  allied with the Tea Party, helping
  to force a popular moderate
  Republican politician, Dede
  Scozzafava, from the race. In the
  end, Palin's ideological purge in
  upstate New York led to an
  improbable Democratic victory,
  the first in that district in more
  than 100 years. After the disaster
  Palin and her allies claimed
  victory, insisting they had at least
  hastened the purge of
  ideologically impure Republicans
  from the party. She went on to
  endorse Rand Paul, the son of
  right-wing libertarian Rep. Ron
  Paul and a candidate in
  Kentucky's GOP senatorial
  primary, while Dick Cheney went
  out of his way to endorse Rand's
  regular Republican opponent,
  Trey Grayson, the Kentucky
  secretary of state.
  Following the Tea Party script of
  avoiding social issues like
  abortion and gay marriage in
  order to obscure the large
  presence of the Christian Right
  within the movement's ranks, the
  self-described "hardcore pro-
  lifer" Palin recast herself as a
  libertarian concerned primarily
  with issues of "economic
  freedom." She claimed the

  Canada's single-payer health care
  system). But no Palin attack had
  as much effect as the one she
  blasted out on her Facebook page
  claiming the Obama health care
  plan included a provision for
  "death panels" that would
  recommend euthanasia for
  severely ill patients like her
  Down syndrome-afflicted son,
  Trig. With the click of a button,
  Palin transformed the tone of the
  health care debate from rancorous
  to poisonous.
  The source of Palin's "death
  panels" smear was a practiced
  propagandist, former New York
  Lieutenant Governor Betsy
  McCaughey. When President Bill
  Clinton introduced health care
  reform during his first term,
  McCaughey falsely claimed in an
  article published in the New
  Republic and widely circulated by
  Republicans, that the plan would
  force consumers to drop their
  private plans and buy into the
  government's program (the article
  would go on to win a National
  Magazine Award and then be
  retracted years later by the New
  Republic's editors). Now she was
  back in the spotlight, pushing a
  rumor that would be voted by the
  non-partisan fact-checking Web
  site Politifact.com as "the lie of
  2009." McCaughey's latest
  innuendo was boosted by the cult
  of political crank Lyndon
  LaRouche, which mobilized to
  push the rumor into the
  mainstream.
  In June 2009, one of LaRouche's
  top lieutenants publicly
  confronted Ezekiel Emanuel, the
  National Institute of Health's
  chief bioethicist and brother of
  White House chief of staff Rahm
  Emanuel, accusing him of

  seeking to reintroduce Hitler's T-
  4 program to kill the handicapped
  through health care reform.
  "President Obama has put in
  place a reform apparatus reviving
  the euthanasia of Hitler Germany
  in 1939, that began the genocide
  there," LaRouche staffer Anton
  Chaitkin charged. Soon,
  LaRouche's followers were on
  street corners around the country
  with posters depicting Obama
  with a Hitler moustache. At a
  town hall forum on health care
  reform hosted by Democratic
  Rep. Barney Frank, a LaRouche
  follower waved one of the
  Obama-as-Hitler posters and
  demanded, "Why do you continue
  to support a Nazi policy, as
  Obama has expressly supported
  this policy?"
  Two months later, after Palin
  whispered the rumor on
  Facebook, prominent
  conservatives from former
  Speaker of the House Newt
  Gingrich to ranking Senate
  Finance Committee member
  Charles Grassley parroted her
  claims before audiences of
  indignant Tea Partiers. Not to be
  outdone, Glenn Beck devoted an
  extended rant on his show to the
  reality of death panels. Echoing
  the LaRouche cultists, Beck
  accused Ezekiel Emanuel of "the
  devaluing of human life, putting a
  price on each individual." He
  thundered, "The death panel is
  not a firing squad. Rationing is
  inevitable and they know it!"
  The death panel rumor served a
  variety of functions, all useful to
  the movement, but not necessarily
  to the Republican Party. Most
  importantly, the rumor resonated
  both with hard-core libertarians
  who resented the very existence

  of the federal government and
  Christian Right activists who
  viewed the legalization of
  abortion as a slippery slope to
  government-sponsored
  euthanasia. The hysteria it
  engendered helped repair the rift
  exposed by the Terri Schiavo
  charade in 2005, when the
  evangelical conservative James
  Dobson publicly clashed with
  Armey, the libertarian leader,
  over the right of the government
  to interfere in a private family
  matter of life and death.
  The slurring of Obama as a sort
  of sleeper agent crypto-Muslim
  helped bring the neoconservatives
  back into the fray. The new neo-
  con generation was led by Dick
  Cheney's daughter, Liz, who
  founded an anti-Obama advocacy
  group, Keep America Safe, by
  leveraging donations from pro-
  Israel sources. Asked by CNN's
  Larry King about the Birther
  movement that was challenging
  Obama's status as an American
  citizen, Liz Cheney remarked,
  "One of the reasons you see
  people so concerned about this is
  people are uncomfortable with
  having for the first time ever, I
  think, a president who seems so
  reluctant to defend the nation
  overseas." With the libertarians,
  Christian Right, and the neo-cons
  seated around the same table,
  united in resentment of the alien
  president, the conservative
  movement was whole again.

  University of Colorado, have
  demonstrated the connection
  between fear of death and
  intensification of conservative
  attitudes. The findings help
  explain the effectiveness of the
  death panel rumor and
  insinuations by conservative
  figures that Obama was not truly
  American and somehow
  sympathetic to Islamic terrorists.
  Indeed, these seemingly irrational
  smears were guided by tactical
  reasoning, calculated to agitate
  voters with constant reminders of
  their own mortality. Whether or
  not Independents responded, the
  rhetoric of death kept the Tea
  Party crowd in a persistent state
  of panic and rage, ensuring a
  standing army ready to fan out to
  rallies and town halls at the first
  sign of liberal malfeasance.
  Obama's first year in office was
  marked by more than raucous
  protests; there were several
  disturbing murders committed by
  far-right extremists. In April
  2009, a 22-year-old neo-Nazi
  wannabe named Richard
  Poplawsi mowed down a SWAT
  team of Pittsburgh cops, killing
  three. Poplawski's best friend told
  reporters the young killer "grew
  angry recently over fears Obama
  would outlaw guns." Later it was
  discovered that Poplawski had
  posted a video clip to a neo-Nazi
  Web site portraying Fox's Glenn
  Beck contemplating the existence
  of concentration camps. (After a
  characteristically thorough
  investigation, Beck conceded
  they were not real.) On another
  occasion, the killer posted a video
  promoting Tea Party rallies. A
  month after the Pittsburgh
  bloodbath, Scott Roeder, a
  supporter of the militant anti-
  abortion group Operation Rescue,

  shot Dr. George Tiller to death
  while he prayed at his church in
  Wichita, Kansas. Tiller was
  declared fair game by the anti-
  abortion movement because of
  his role as Kansas's only late-term
  abortion provider. During at least
  28 episodes of Bill O'Reilly's
  "O'Reilly Factor," O'Reilly had
  referred to Tiller as "Tiller the
  baby killer," a criminal guilty of
  "Nazi stuff." "I wouldn't want to
  be [Tiller] if there is a Judgment
  Day," O'Reilly proclaimed.
  In August 2009, a middle-aged
  professional named George
  Sodini walked into a health club
  in suburban Pittsburgh and
  gunned down three women. The
  mainstream press explained
  Sodini's motives away by homing
  in on passages in his online
  diaries describing his loneliness,
  inability to convince women to
  have sex with him, and descent
  into chronic masturbation. Nearly
  every major media outlet omitted
  or ignored a long deranged entry
  in which Sodini projected his
  sexual frustration onto Obama,
  whom he seemed to view as a
  symbol of black male virility and
  predation.
  The day after Obama's election
  victory, Sodini wrote: "Good luck
  to Obama! He will be successful.
  The liberal media LOVES him.
  Amerika has chosen The Black
  Man. Good! In light of this I got
  ideas outside of Obama's plans
  for the economy and such. Here it
  is: Every black man should get a
  young white girl ... Kinda a
  reverse indentured servitude
  thing. Every daddy know when
  he sends his little girl to college,
  she be ... real good. I saw it. 'Not
  my little girl', daddy says! (Yeah

  [sic] choice of best white??
  [ellipses in original]."
  In another posting to an anti-
  Clinton forum in 1994, during the
  height of the Republicans'
  Whitewater investigation, Sodini
  revealed that he had purchased a
  bumper sticker reading, "Stop
  Socialism, Impeach Clinton,"
  from a National Review ad. A
  year later, Sodini ranted on an
  anti-government militia site, "I
  am convinced that more drastic
  action is required to bring the
  country back to the Constitutional
  order that it was 200 years ago. I
  don't think any group of political
  leaders will achieve this for us."
  Whether or not Sodini's murder
  spree was motivated by his
  political passions, he was
  pathologically death-driven and
  fixated on the phantasmagoria of
  right-wing imagery. In his final
  diary entry, Sodini proclaimed,
  "Death lives!"
  More than any other media figure
  of the Obama era, Glenn Beck
  encouraged the campaign of
  racial demonization and
  conspiracy that consumed the Tea
  Party "Patriots." During a
  broadcast of "Fox and Friends,"
  Beck opined that Obama "has
  exposed himself over and over
  and over again as a guy who has a
  deep-seated hatred for white
  people, or the white culture." As
  evidence, Beck pointed to White
  House green-jobs czar Van Jones,
  an African American former
  community organizer who was
  eventually forced to resign as a
  direct result of Beck's crusade.
  From there, Beck targeted another
  black Obama adviser, Valerie
  Jarrett, highlighting her ties to
  ACORN while upholding her and
  Jones as evidence of Obama's
  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770985 Date: 08/31/2015

  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770985 Date: 08/31/2015
  "socialist" agenda. In another
  broadcast, Beck played an audio
  clip of unidentified African
  Americans referring to "Obama
  money" as they collected welfare
  checks in Detroit. Then he
  showed footage of members of a
  Kansas City-based youth group
  practicing a step show, a
  traditional African-American
  group dance apparently
  unfamiliar enough to Beck and
  his transfixed audience that he
  felt at liberty to claim the footage
  as evidence that "Obama's SS"
  was being trained across inner-
  city America.
  In September 2009, Beck
  relentlessly targeted ACORN, the
  Right's new favorite hobgoblin,
  admitting that he intended to use
  the poor people's advocacy group
  to distract his viewers from the
  health care debate. "Trust me,"
  Beck said, "Everybody now says
  they're going to be talking about
  health care. I don't think so." (His
  statement was reminiscent of
  Rush Limbaugh's scandal-
  mongering remark during the
  early Clinton administration:
  "Whitewater is about health
  care.") Beck promptly cued up a
  series of hidden camera videos
  shot by conservative youth
  activists James O'Keefe and
  Hannah Giles inside ACORN
  field offices. In the videos,
  O'Keefe baited African-American
  staffers into making statements
  explaining that Giles, who
  claimed she was a prostitute,
  could obtain low-income housing.
  O'Keefe edited in images of
  himself clad in an outlandish
  pimp costume to create the
  impression that he was dressed
  that way during the meetings with
  ACORN; however, Giles later
  admitted her partner had lied

  about wearing his costume to
  farther ineriminate ACORN. In
  the end. ACORN was exonerated
  of all criminal wrongdoing while
  in a separate incident O'Keefe
  was arrested and charged with a
  federal crime after he and several
  conservative pals disguised
  themselves as telephone
  repairmen and attempted to
  wiretap phone lines in the office
  of Senator Mary 'Landrieu of
  Louisiana. Like Ryan Sorba,
  O'Keefe and his posse were
  movement cadres paid and
  directed by well-funded
  conservative outfits; O'Keefe had
  been trained by the Leadership
  Institute, the right-wing youth
  Froup that nurtured leadinG, lights
  like Jack Abriunoff, Karl Rove,
  Ralph Reed, and Jeff Gannon.
  While O'Keefe and his buddies
  plea-bargained with prosecutors,
  Beck basked in his formula for
  success. His show earned the
  hithest ratings at Fox News,
  topping network franchises like
  O'Reilly and Sean Hannity. In the
  process. Beck's opinions became
  firmly implanted in the nervous
  systems of Tea Party activists.
  "Glenn Beck has taught us
  everything we know," a
  demonstrator at the 9-12 rally told
  Me. "He's opened our eyes to so
  much."
  But unlike the right-wing radio
  warhorses who helped usher in
  Newt Gin<trich's Republican
  counter-revolution of 1994, Beck
  was not an authentic product of
  the movement. When Rush
  Limbaugh first began dominating
  the AM airwaves, Beck was
  mired in the world of mid-level
  commercial radio, delivering
  corny yarns about lesbians and
  celebrity trash in hopes of

  becoming the next Howard Stem.
  By night, as he has tirelessly
  recounted, he medicated his
  anxiety with cocaine and alcohol,
  destroying his first marriage in
  the process. "We remember
  Glenn from the womanizing, the
  drinking, the drugs. Everybody
  who knew him at the time saw
  what a: complete mess he was," a
  shock jock from Tampa, Florida,
  who called himself Bubba the
  Love Sponge remarked to me
  during a broadcast of his
  nationally syndicated show.
  Like Dusty Rhodes, the pseudo-
  populist demagogue of Elia
  Kazan's 1957 film, A Face in the
  Crowd. Beck was a self-
  destructive drifter Who might
  have been crumpled up with a
  bottle of Mad Dog 20/20 in an
  alleyway or been locked away in
  ,a prison cell had fame not found
  him first. Beck was only able to
  stabilize his life when he made
  his escape from freedom.,
  marrying a conservative Mormon,
  converting to her religion, and
  transmuting his urge to abuse
  drugs into conservative radio
  diatribes. When Beck first broke
  into television On CNN's
  Headline News Channel, he
  struggled to articulate a coherent
  political world view. If he
  distinguished himself from other
  big-time conservative .hosts in
  any way, he did so through
  strained and often snide attempts
  at humor, remnants of his failed
  radio career. Nevertheless, with
  help from his liberal agent,
  Matthew Hiltzik, Beck snagged a
  primetime slot at Fox News in
  early 2009. Around this same
  time, Beck began promoting the
  work of an arcane Mormon
  conspiracy-peddler named W.
  Clean Skousen, whom he
  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770985 Date: 08/31/2015

  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770985 Date: 08/31/2015
  described as his political lodestar.
  Suddenly, Beck had something
  more to offer than irritable mental
  gestures.
  Thanks to Beck's designation of
  Skousen's pseudohistorical tract
  The 5000 Year Leap as "required
  reading" on the Web site of his 9-
  12 Project, and his promotion of
  the book on his show, the
  previously obscure Skousen.
  became the Hidden imam of the
  Tea Party movement. By the
  summer of 2009, Skousen's Leap
  was among the top 10 books on
  Amazon.com and a fixture on
  literature tables at Tea Party
  gatherings. It went from selling a
  puny couple of thousand copies in
  2007 to selling over 200,000
  copies in 2009. Just why the book
  generated such an instant appeal
  is difficult to understand. It is
  little more than a slapdash of
  quotes from the Founding
  Fathers, often taken out of
  context and deliberately
  oversimplified, to explain why
  America is the greatest nation in
  history. in the process, Skousen
  claims that church and state
  separation is un-American, that
  "coercive taxation" is communist,
  and that marriage is the
  underpinning of a free society.
  Benjamin Franklin., who wrote at
  length on the merits of "amours"
  with "old women," and who
  famously solicited prostitutes and
  fathered a son of out of wedlock,
  was the ultimate authority
  Skousen quoted on the
  importance of marriage.
  Though Skousen claims the
  Founders as the world's foremost
  source of eternal wisdom, he
  buttressed his points with fringe
  sources like the conspiracist
  Norman Dodd's screeds about the
  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770985 Date: 08/31/2015

  Illuminati. According. to Skousen,
  Dodd claimed that "powerful
  influences congregating in the
  United States" like the
  Rockefellers and the Rothschilds
  had forced the United States into
  World War I. Skousen published
  Dodd's manifestoes in his obscure
  journal Freemen's Digest, which
  he founded for the express
  purpose of propagating
  conspiracies.
  Skousen's paranoid politics were
  an outgrowth of his participation.
  in extreme anti-communist
  groups during the 1950s. He
  boasted of a close friendship with
  then-FBI director J. Edgar
  Hoover and said he provided him
  with research on communist
  plots, claims disputed by FBI
  historians. (During a recent
  interview. Skousen's son, Paul,
  told me that contrary to rumors of
  Hoover's cross-dressing and
  homosexual dalliances, he would
  set the top cop up on blind dates
  with live women.) Skousen was
  fired from his job as Salt Lake
  City's police chief for, in the
  words of the city's conservative
  Mormon mayor, "conduct[ing]
  hi.s office as chief of police in
  exactly the same manner in which
  the communists operate their
  government." From there,
  Skousen sailed off to the far
  shores of the Right-peddling
  conspiracy tracts like The Naked
  Communist-, and earning
  condemnation from his beloved
  FBI, which accused him in an
  internal memo of "promoting
  [his] own anti-communism for
  obvious financial purposes."
  Skousen's vocal support for the
  far-right John Birch Society's
  claim that communists controlled
  President Dwight Eisenhower

  cost him the support of the
  corporate backers who had paid
  for his Red-bashing lecture tours.
  He went off the radar for several
  years, returning during the late
  1960s to accuse the Jewish

  Chi Minh to the civil rights.
  movement. By the late 1970s,
  even the Church of Latter Day
  Saints distanced itself from
  Skousen and his conspiracy
  theories. His work fell through
  the margins and might have
  disappeared entirely had Beck not
  revived it, turning The 5000 Year
  Leap into the bible of the Tea
  Party movement. Journalist
  Alexander Zaitchik observed in
  his authoritative profile of
  Skousen on Salon.com that
  Skousen's renewed influence
  through Beck and the Tea Party
  'suggests that the modern base of
  the Republican Party is headed to
  a very strange place."
  Besides influencing Beck,
  Skousen's teachings inspired one
  of the Tea Party movement's most
  visible grassroots celebrities,
  retired Sheriff Richard Mack. I
  met Mack in February at a far-
  right rally just outside of
  Montgomery, Alabama. On a
  makeshift stage towed into the
  middle of a rodeo arena by a
  pickup truck, Mack recalled with
  reverence his mentorship by
  Skousen, who he said taught him
  everything he needed to know
  about the Constitution. Mack
  urged his spellbound audience to
  stockpile ammo and store food.
  "If you control the food supply,"
  Mack warned, "you control the
  people. And that's the first step to
  slavery."
  Already a hero to conservatives

  for successfully suing the Clinton
  administration over the provision
  in the Brady Handgun Violence
  Prevention Act requiring law
  enforcement to conduct criminal
  background checks of gun
  purchasers, Mack reemerged in
  the Obama era as the archetypal
  local lawman who vowed to resist
  the tyrannical federal
  government. Along with a few
  dozen former and active military
  and law enforcement personnel,
  Mack helped form a self-styled
  Tea Party militia called the
  Oathkeepers. Galvanized by their
  fear of creeping socialism, the
  Oathkeepers solemnly swore to
  refuse tyrannical federal orders
  such as cooperating with foreign
  troops and forcing Americans
  into concentration camps.
  Because the group's members
  trained for combat, the vow came
  with suggestion of armed
  resistance.
  Besides Mack, the Oathkeepers
  attracted a coterie of militia
  movement retreads into its ranks.
  The most well-established figure
  was Mike Vanderboegh, a
  longtime militia fanatic who
  published a booklet in the mid-
  1990s entitled Strategy and
  Tactics for a Militia Civil War,
  calling for sniper attacks on "war
  criminals, secret policemen, rats."
  With Obama in office,
  Vandeboegh churned out anti-
  government screeds on right-wing
  blogs with renewed passion and
  supported his efforts by cashing
  in the $1,300 in federal disability
  compensation he received each
  month.
  For all the energy the far right
  exerted in its campaign to
  strangle Obama's agenda, it was a
  Democrat who posed the greatest

  threat to the passage of health
  care reform. Representative Bart
  Stupak of Michigan had been in
  office since 1993, placing him
  among the senior leadership of
  the so-called centrist Blue Dog
  Democrats. When health care
  reform was introduced in
  Congress, Stupak became the
  leader of an informal caucus of
  anti-abortion Democrats, making
  him the de facto swing vote on
  the House version of the bill. By
  extension, Stupak was the point
  man in the campaign to ensure
  that the bill would not allow
  federal funding for abortion for
  low-income women.
  But after close consultation with
  leaders of the U.S. Conference of
  Catholic Bishops, Stupak went a
  step further. He introduced a
  draconian amendment to block
  women from paying for abortions
  from even their own private
  insurance plans. The amendment,
  which passed the House but was
  shut down in the Senate, became
  a key sticking point in health care
  negotiations. 'He's a big hero
  now in the pro-life community,"
  former Bush Catholic issues
  adviser Deal Hudson told me in
  November 2009. "Thanks to him,
  this is the first time I can
  remember the pro-life Democrats
  having any power."
  To the chagrin of the
  Republicans, Stupak entertained
  offers of compromise from the
  Democratic leadership.
  According to Hudson, the
  Catholic Bishops were keen to
  see health care reform pass, but
  only if the bill contained a clear
  provision forbidding patients
  from spending federal money on
  abortion. Finally, in March, after
  pressure from House Majority

  Leader Nancy Pelosi, Obam.a
  agreed to sign an executive order
  forbidding the federal funding of
  abortion. Stupak had been
  mollified. Now he and his anti-
  abortion caucus pledged to
  deliver the swing votes the
  Democrats needed to pass the
  bill. As soon as reports seeped out
  declaring the imminent passage
  of health care reform, major
  right-wing blogs like
  RedState.org churned out virulent
  denunciations of Stupak, calling
  him a traitor and sellout. The blog
  comment sections filled up with
  dozens of diatribes referring to
  Stupak in language previously
  reserved for Dr. George Tiller:
  "Bart the Baby-Killer."
  On March 20, thousands of Tea
  Party activists surrounded the
  Capitol's Longworth Building in
  expectation of Obama's pep talk
  to the House Democrats and the
  health care vote. Democratic
  Representative john Lewis, a
  hero of the civil rights movement,
  and Representative Barney Frank,
  the first openly gay member of
  Congress, passed through the
  crowd on their way inside the
  Capitol. Thsligger!" a demonstrator
  barked at Lewis. Another called
  Frank a "faggot," eliciting
  laughter and cheers from nearby
  protesters. Meanwhile, as another
  African-American Democrat,
  Representative Emanuel Cleaver,
  ascended the Capitol steps, a
  protester who had been screaming
  at Lewis and Frank spat on his
  face.
  With the demonstration carried
  on into the night, cries of "Kill
  the bill!'' drifted into calls for
  violence. "I would gladly stand
  with any of you men here and
  take these fascists down," a man

  in camouflage battle dress
  uniform proclaimed in front of an
  amateur videographer, pointing
  toward the Capitol. "You haven't
  heard the last of me!"
  The next day, Republican
  members of Congress emerged
  from the Longworth Building to
  salute the Tea Partiers. The
  demonstrators cheered wildly for
  their proxies on the inside.
  Finally, after hours of
  impassioned speeches on the
  House floor, the bill passed. But
  the drama was hardly over.
  Republican Representative Joe
  Pitts, an anti-abortion Catholic
  who co-authored Stupak's
  original amendment, demanded a
  motion to bring it back to the
  floor for a vote, a transparent
  exercise in grandstanding that
  was certain to fail. In response,
  Stupak rushed to the podium with
  a stinging rebuke to Pitts and the
  Republicans. "The motion to
  commit does not support life,"
  Stupak declared. "It is the
  Democrats who have stood up...."
  Heckling from the Republican
  side interrupted his statement. As
  Stupak looked around the House
  chamber, Rep. Randy
  Neugebauer, a right-wing
  Republican from Texas who
  openly supported the Birther
  movement, began shouting at him
  from the backbench, "Baby
  killer!" Other Republicans joined
  in, parroting base insults.
  While the Republicans sank their
  heads in defeat, some more
  militant devotees of the Tea Party
  movement called for a right-wing
  Kristallnacht. "If you wish to
  send a message that Pelosi and
  her party cannot fail to hear,
  break their windows,"

  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05770985 Date: 08/31/2015
  Vanderboegh of the Oathkeepers
  wrote on a far-right blog hours
  after the bill passed. "Break them
  NOW. Break them and run to
  break again." Within three days,
  windows and doors at Democratic
  Party headquarters in New York,
  Kansas and Arizona had been
  shattered.
  Meanwhile, at least 10
  Democratic members of Congress
  reported receiving death threats.
  Images of nooses were faxed to
  the offices of Stupak and James
  Clyburn, an African-American
  congressman from South
  Carolina. Representative Anthony
  Weiner, an especially vocal
  proponent of health care reform,
  received a menacing letter filled
  with white powder. The brother
  of Representative Torn Perriello,
  another health care supporter, had
  his home gas line deliberately
  sabotaged after a local Tea Party
  organizer posted his address
  online (he had meant to post the
  congressman's) and encouraged
  activists to "drop by" to express
  their anger about Perriello's
  recent vote. In Tucson, Arizona,
  the windows of Democratic
  Representative Gabrielle
  Giffbrds' office were shattered by
  shots from a pellet gun. And a
  brick was thrown through the
  window of Representative Louise
  Slaughter's office in New York as
  her voicemail filled with threats
  of impending sniper attacks.
  After the Passage of the health
  care bill, the Tea Party floated
  into a gray zone between
  authoritarianism and anarchy.
  Crusading to restore a holy social
  order, they promoted disorder.
  Claiming to protect democracy,
  they smashed windows of elected
  representatives. Warning of death

  panels, they called in death
  threats. With the atmosphere of
  violence thickening, Palin took to
  her Twitter account to issue a
  battle cry: "Don't Retreat,
  Instead—RELOAD!" Thus
  concluded the first phase of the
  Obama era that was to usher in a
  peaceable kingdom of
  bipartisanship.

  FYI, I am forwarding you a message I just sent to Raj about the article in today's Washington Post.
  He and I agreed to work closely on this issue. I have asked INR to get us some research on the security issue which the
  implementing partners frequently raise Note the comment in the
  Post about the security situation.
  As you know we are moving forward on the broader branding issue and plan to have a team of experts advise us as we
  move forward.
  I will keep you posted.

  He and I agreed to work closely on this issue. I have asked INR to get us some research on the security issue which the
  implementing partners frequently raise Note the comment in the
  Post about the security situation.
  As you know we are moving forward on the broader branding issue and plan to have a team of experts advise us as we
  move forward.

  MOSCOW (RIA Novosti) — Russia is grateful to the United States over the assistance in tackling the wildfires raging across
  the country, Russian Foreign Ministry said. U.S. President Barack Obama made a phone call to his Russian counterpart
  Dmitry Medvedev August 13 to express his condolences about the disastrous environmental situation in Central Russia
  and the readiness to supply firefighting equipment. The United States sent to Russia two planes August 13 with state-of-
  the-art nonflammable uniform for firefighters, special shoes, helmets and glasses onboard. Additional two aircraft with
  firefighting equipment are expected to arrive.

  FYI, I am forwarding you a message I just sent to Raj about the article in today's Washington Post.
  He and I agreed to work closely on this issue. I have asked INR to get us some research on the security issue which the
  implementing partners frequently raise Note the comment in the
  Post about the security situation.
  As you know we are moving forward on the broader branding issue and plan to have a team of experts advise us as we
  move forward.
  I will keep you posted.

ExtractedBodyText:
  Congratulations on the resumption of direct talks. As evidenced by your activity over the
  past several weeks your involvement in the peace process inevitably has deepened as the
  need for high-level U.S. intervention has grown. I believe that is a positive result. But
  the more fundamental issue remains what your role can and should be going forward in
  order to maximize chances of diplomatic success.
  I. . State of Play
  As the U.S. embarks on the next stage in the Israeli-Palestinian process, it faces a series
  of tactical and strategic challenges regarding policy, politics and personality.
  1. At a policy level, the meager results of indirect talks and difficulties in transitioning to
  direct talks have underscored the lack of trust between the two sides as well as
  existing substantive gaps. With direct talks begin in the coming days, one obstacles
  will have been removed, but several remain. Some or all of these may have been
  resolved in connection with gaining agreement to direct talks.
  a. How to handle the renewal or non-renewal of Israel's settlement moratorium?
  b. What is the goal of the direct talks and is there a consensus on this matter
  between the parties? A comprehensive agreement on permanent (CAPS) that
  covers all the details? A framework agreement on permanent status (FAPS)
  that outlines the governing parameters, along the lines of the 2000 Clinton
  parameters? Or, less ambitiously, a short (one or two page) statement of
  principles?
  c. What role will the U.S. play? Will George or another U.S. official be present
  in all meetings? Will Netanyahu accept that? Is there an argument for
  allowing the two sides to deal with one another without any intermediary, at
  least for a while, so that they do not seek to play to the U.S.?
  d. What will the U.S. do in the event of an impasse or breakdown? Should it
  present bridging proposals and, if so, when?
  e. How much work should be done, in parallel and simultaneously with the
  direct talks, between the U.S. and the Palestinians on the one hand and the
  U.S. and Israel on the other?
  Beyond those questions, I am persuaded the most important factor is and is likely to
  remain what Netanyahu is prepared to do. You have witnessed first-hand how
  difficult it can be to deal with the Palestinians and the Arab world more generally;
  how fragile is Abbas's political position; how indecisive they can be. Still, at bottom,
  we have a relatively clear sense of their positions on the core issues should we ever
  reach a moment of truth. That is not the case with Netanyahu who either does not
  know himself or is not prepared to share and who, until now, has neither felt the
  urgency to reach a deal nor the discomfort of the status quo.
  Assuming Bibi can be convinced of the benefits of a deal along lines acceptable to the
  Palestinians, this will not occur solely on the basis of his talks with Abbas, whom he
  likes but does not truly respect and who he fears will not be in a position to deliver.
  Rather, it will happen only if he feels that (1) it is under the leadership of a U.S.
  administration he genuinely trusts; (2) he is convinced that the combination of the
  agreement and U.S. assurances meets his core needs in terms of Israeli security and
  international recognition of its Jewish character; and (3) he feels that, again with U.S.
  help, he can sell it to his people and survive -- or even thrive -- politically.
  Getting Bibi to accept the core compromises will not be enough, of course. Other
  basic elements of the strategy must involve reaching out effectively to the Israeli
  public and ensuring strong, vocal Arab support for a U.S.- sponsored deal without
  which Abbas cannot say yes and Israelis will lack the incentive to do so. But the
  point is that a prerequisite for a successful peace effort is for the U.S. to convince the
  prime minister -- through various forms of overt persuasion and implicit pressure -- to
  make the necessary compromises. At the end of the day, if Bibi is to make a deal, it
  will be a deal with the U.S. as much as with the Palestinians.
  2. At a political level, the past year has clearly demonstrated the degree to which the
  U.S. has been hamstrung by its low ratings in Israel and among important segments of
  the domestic Jewish constituency. This is a critical dimension not for electoral
  reasons, but because the U.S.'s best chance of influencing Bibi is to build support for
  a deal in Israel and at home among those who care most. That capacity has been
  improved to some extent as a result of the successful July visit by Netanyahu and the
  string of military/security deals between our two countries. But we must be honest:
  there sill is a long way to go. If anything, the recent Obama/Bibi illustrated a new,
  potentially perverse dynamic: the U.S. president at this juncture needs the Israeli
  prime minister to validate his pro-Israeli credentials more than the Israeli prime
  minister needs the U.S. president to vouch for his pro-peace ones.
  3. At the level of personalities, George, with all his skill and perseverance, cannot by
  himself secure serious concessions from the parties by himself. In recent discussions,
  both Israelis and Palestinians described him as someone they respected but to whom
  they would not make major concessions. This is the curse of the day-to-day
  negotiator. When they are ready to deal, they will only deal with the players they
  perceive with authority. It was not different for Dennis during the Clinton
  Administration. This does not mean that Mitchell does not have a crucial role going
  forward. Indeed, he can be empowered by your more active involvement.
  The president faces a different but no less difficult problem. He is not trusted in
  Israel and, though the July meeting might have altered the situation somewhat, not
  trusted by Bibi. Domestically, he faces a reservoir of skepticism on this issue which
  reflects many factors, including inexcusable prejudice, but which could obstruct his
  effectiveness both as an interlocutor and as a salesman. Besides, as we learned during
  WJC's presidency, it would be a mistake for Obama to get too deeply invested in
  negotiations prior to the end-point; he does not have the time and should not expend
  the political capital prematurely. To do so, moreover, would automatically be to
  devalue the role of anyone beneath him, thus making the peace process as a whole
  excessively dependent on his involvement.
  Your Role
  Under these circumstances, in my view, your deeper involvement is both essential and
  potentially highly beneficial. It should be a selective involvement; Mitchell still must be
  the day-to-day negotiator and others also must play a part. In particular, I would not
  recommend you get overly mired in the details of the direct talks or the set of questions I
  described above (about their format, goal, U.S. role, etc) other than at critical junctures.
  Nor would I advise you to get pulled into a Christopher-style shuttle diplomacy which
  would quickly depreciate your value.
  Rather, by injecting yourself strategically at the right time and in the right way, you could
  fill the gaps identified above. This is because you are uniquely placed to address the
  need both for a higher-level mediator and for someone who enjoys considerable
  credibility in Israel and the U.S. (Bibi reportedly told someone recently he was prepared
  to deal substantively with Obama and with you).
  Your role would be twofold
  1. To serve as the higher-level interlocutor on matters offinal status. To a large
  degree, Abbas's positions are already known; they will have to be further explored
  and he will have to be pushed, and you should engage him. But we probably know
  his zone of possible agreement. Not so with Bibi and, I believe, you are ideally suited
  to begin a series of in-depth conversations aimed at understanding his key concerns,
  how they can be met, what he would need from us and others, and how far, at the end
  of the day, he is prepared to go with the Palestinians if his security and other needs
  are met. Bibi knows and trusts you; in fact, you are almost certainly the high-level
  U.S. official he trusts most. If you succeed in taking him into your confidence and
  work with him over time, you could pave the way for an Israeli-U.S. understanding
  that would underpin an Israeli-Palestinian agreement. At times, this will require
  being tough and pushing back against some of his most extreme demands (the
  militarily questionable request for a very long term Israeli presence in the Jordan
  Valley being one of them) and proposing more rational alternatives. But the point is
  that without getting Bibi to trust and level with us, without him feeling both what he
  has to lose but also what he has to gain, this process is unlikely to go anywhere.
  To repeat, this should not be at Mitchell's expense. It should be a parallel,
  reinforcing process in which you would deal one-on-one with Abbas and Netanyahu
  at periodic intervals, for extensive periods of time.
  2. To help restore the US. 's image and credibility in Israel and among important
  domestic constituencies. You have the history, background and credentials to do so
  here and in Israel and thus to overcome some of the suspicion with which Obama
  must contend. Over time, through a series of visits and public statements, you would
  seek to make the case for a peace agreement in positive terms, focusing on what
  benefits it would bring to Israelis rather than on the costs they would incur: secure
  and recognized borders; stronger security ties to the U.S. and others; an end to the
  conflict; normal relations with the Arab world; and strengthened international
  legitimacy.
  III. Potential Downsides and Responses
  1. Dragging you into the weeds of negotiations. A risk exists that, though repeated
  meetings with Bibi and Abbas, you will be drawn into detailed discussions over the
  nature of the territorial compromise, the precise security arrangements, etc. This
  would be unhelpful both to the process and to you. There is a fine line between
  discussing the principles that should guide the final outcome and the precise details of
  that outcome, but it will be important not to cross it. Your role should be to extract
  from Bibi important understandings and parameters (e.g., security arrangements on
  the Jordan valley that minimize infringements on Palestinian sovereignty and
  minimize the duration of any residual Israeli presence) and then have your respective
  negotiators work out the details
  2. Disempowering George. A related danger is to render George powerless by creating
  the sense that everything can and should be dealt with through you. Besides
  potentially leading him to step down, this outcome would not serve your interests for
  the reasons just cited, your effectiveness being a function of your remaining
  somewhat removed from the day-to-day specifics of the talks. In fact, as I see it, this
  process could and should end up strengthening George's presently hand by clarifying
  it. Once you and Bibi will have reached agreement on broad principles, the two of
  you will provide instructions to your respective negotiators to find solutions that
  reflect them. In that sense, both George and his counterpart will have a stronger and
  clearer mandate than currently is the case.
  3. Involving you in a failed enterprise. Of all the potential downsides, this is the most
  significant one and ought not to be dismissed lightly. Failure is a real possibility.
  Palestinians are in disarray. The Arab world is profoundly divided, with forthcoming
  successions in Egypt and Saudi Arabia that will weaken two of the states upon which
  we most rely. And a serious questionmark hovers over Bibi's politics, his head and
  his heart. As a result, a powerful argument could be made that you would be better
  off keeping at arms' length from this process, especially given how much else is on
  your plate. That said, I disagree for the following reasons:
  a. By not getting involved, you risk the worst of two worlds: being associated
  with a failure (which, by virtue of your position, you inevitably would be) and
  being criticized for not having been engaged in an effort to avert it.
  b. Over the past year and a half, you have been involved -- traveling to the
  region; seeking to convince Abbas to enter into talks; commenting on the
  settlement freeze in Jerusalem -- and you will not be able to escape that kind
  of involvement in the future. The problem is that your engagement has
  appeared to be sporadic rather than strategic -- that you've been deployed
  when it has been deemed necessary to get out of an impasse rather than in
  order to implement a long term, well thought-out plan. I do not think that has
  served you well.
  c. While one cannot by any means be confident of success, I believe an
  agreement is possible but that it only has a chance if we can work effectively
  to bring Bibi into a position where he believes that the costs of a historical
  compromise are outweighed by its benefits.
  d. If we don't try all we can over the next year or year and a half, you will in all
  likelihood be forced to deal extensively with the Middle East -- albeit not in a
  peacemaking but in a crisis-managing mode. Without movement on the
  peace process, Abbas could depart, Fayyad's state-building plan could be gone
  in smoke, hostilities might break out between Israel, Syria and Hizbollah and
  the U.S. would have to deal with Iran in an even less hospitable regional
  climate.

  to deal substantively with Obama and with you).
  Your role would be twofold
  1. To serve as the higher-level interlocutor on matters offinal status. To a large
  degree, Abbas's positions are already known; they will have to be further explored
  and he will have to be pushed, and you should engage him. But we probably know
  his zone of possible agreement. Not so with Bibi and, I believe, you are ideally suited
  to begin a series of in-depth conversations aimed at understanding his key concerns,
  how they can be met, what he would need from us and others, and how far, at the end
  of the day, he is prepared to go with the Palestinians if his security and other needs
  are met. Bibi knows and trusts you; in fact, you are almost certainly the high-level
  U.S. official he trusts most. If you succeed in taking him into your confidence and
  work with him over time, you could pave the way for an Israeli-U.S. understanding
  that would underpin an Israeli-Palestinian agreement. At times, this will require
  being tough and pushing back against some of his most extreme demands (the
  militarily questionable request for a very long term Israeli presence in the Jordan
  Valley being one of them) and proposing more rational alternatives. But the point is
  that without getting Bibi to trust and level with us, without him feeling both what he
  has to lose but also what he has to gain, this process is unlikely to go anywhere.
  To repeat, this should not be at Mitchell's expense. It should be a parallel,
  reinforcing process in which you would deal one-on-one with Abbas and Netanyahu
  at periodic intervals, for extensive periods of time.
  2. To help restore the US. 's image and credibility in Israel and among important
  domestic constituencies. You have the history, background and credentials to do so

  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05771036 Date: 08/31/2015
  here and in Israel and thus to overcome some of the suspicion with which Obama
  must contend. Over time, through a series of visits and public statements, you would
  seek to make the case for a peace agreement in positive terms, focusing on what
  benefits it would bring to Israelis rather than on the costs they would incur: secure
  and recognized borders; stronger security ties to the U.S. and others; an end to the
  conflict; normal relations with the Arab world; and strengthened international
  legitimacy.
  III. Potential Downsides and Responses
  1. Dragging you into the weeds of negotiations. A risk exists that, though repeated
  meetings with Bibi and Abbas, you will be drawn into detailed discussions over the
  nature of the territorial compromise, the precise security arrangements, etc. This
  would be unhelpful both to the process and to you. There is a fine line between
  discussing the principles that should guide the final outcome and the precise details of
  that outcome, but it will be important not to cross it. Your role should be to extract
  from Bibi important understandings and parameters (e.g., security arrangements on
  the Jordan valley that minimize infringements on Palestinian sovereignty and
  minimize the duration of any residual Israeli presence) and then have your respective
  negotiators work out the details
  2. Disempowering George. A related danger is to render George powerless by creating
  the sense that everything can and should be dealt with through you. Besides
  potentially leading him to step down, this outcome would not serve your interests for
  the reasons just cited, your effectiveness being a function of your remaining
  somewhat removed from the day-to-day specifics of the talks. In fact, as I see it, this
  process could and should end up strengthening George's presently hand by clarifying
  it. Once you and Bibi will have reached agreement on broad principles, the two of
  you will provide instructions to your respective negotiators to find solutions that
  reflect them. In that sense, both George and his counterpart will have a stronger and
  clearer mandate than currently is the case.
  3. Involving you in a failed enterprise. Of all the potential downsides, this is the most
  significant one and ought not to be dismissed lightly. Failure is a real possibility.
  Palestinians are in disarray. The Arab world is profoundly divided, with forthcoming
  successions in Egypt and Saudi Arabia that will weaken two of the states upon which
  we most rely. And a serious questionmark hovers over Bibi's politics, his head and
  his heart. As a result, a powerful argument could be made that you would be better
  off keeping at arms' length from this process, especially given how much else is on
  your plate. That said, I disagree for the following reasons:
  a. By not getting involved, you risk the worst of two worlds: being associated
  with a failure (which, by virtue of your position, you inevitably would be) and
  being criticized for not having been engaged in an effort to avert it.
  b. Over the past year and a half, you have been involved -- traveling to the
  region; seeking to convince Abbas to enter into talks; commenting on the
  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05771036 Date: 08/31/2015

  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05771036 Date: 08/31/2015
  settlement freeze in Jerusalem -- and you will not be able to escape that kind
  of involvement in the future. The problem is that your engagement has
  appeared to be sporadic rather than strategic -- that you've been deployed
  when it has been deemed necessary to get out of an impasse rather than in
  order to implement a long term, well thought-out plan. I do not think that has
  served you well.
  c. While one cannot by any means be confident of success, I believe an
  agreement is possible but that it only has a chance if we can work effectively
  to bring Bibi into a position where he believes that the costs of a historical
  compromise are outweighed by its benefits.
  d. If we don't try all we can over the next year or year and a half, you will in all
  likelihood be forced to deal extensively with the Middle East -- albeit not in a
  peacemaking but in a crisis-managing mode. Without movement on the
  peace process, Abbas could depart, Fayyad's state-building plan could be gone
  in smoke, hostilities might break out between Israel, Syria and Hizbollah and
  the U.S. would have to deal with Iran in an even less hospitable regional
  climate.

  aircraft. The European Commission has offered to transport affected children to EU states or
  non-affected areas of Russia for treatment of respiratory illnesses. It has also provided masks,
  water, health assistance, and general non-food items. China has provided $4m total in cash and
  relief supplies so far. NATO offered to help but Moscow was uninterested.
  U.S. assistance totals $4.5m, including $3.5m in specialized firefighting equipment, $350k in
  planned capacity building, and $50k in humanitarian assistance (bedding, food parcels). Russia
  has publicly thanked the U.S. for its assistance.

  "minister in a skirt"
  http://mobile.nytimes.com/a rticle?a=644869
  North Korea Takes to Twitter and YouTube By CHOE SANG-HUN The New York Times August 17, 2010
  SEOUL, South Korea - North Korea has taken its propaganda war against South Korea and the United States to a new
  frontier: YouTube and Twitter.
  In the last month, North Korea has posted a series of video clips on YouTube brimming with satire and vitriol against
  leaders in South Korea and the United States.
  In one clip, it called Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton a "minister in a skirt" and Secretary of Defense Robert M.
  Gates a "war maniac," while depicting the South Korean defense minister, Kim Tae-young, as a "servile dog" that likes to
  be patted by "its American master."
  Such language used to be standard in North Korea's cold-war-era propaganda. Its revival is testimony to the increased
  chill in relations between the Koreas in recent months.
  In the past week, North Korea also began operating a Twitter account under the name uriminzok, or "our nation."
  Both the Twitter and YouTube accounts are owned by a user named "uriminzokkiri." The Web site
  www.uriminzokkiri.com is run by the Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea, a propaganda agency in
  Pyongyang.
  Lee Jong-joo, a spokeswoman for the Unification Ministry in Seoul, said, "It is clear that these accounts carry the same
  propaganda as the North's official news media, but we have not been able to find out who operates them."
  The two Koreas agreed to stop their psychological war after their first summit meeting in 2000. But South Korea
  resumed propaganda radio broadcasts in May, when it accused the North of torpedoing one of its warships, killing 46
  sailors.
  North Korea, which denies involvement, has vowed to retaliate. It appears to have found a way with Twitter and
  YouTube, with their intended audience clearly South Koreans. (North Korea keeps its people isolated from the outside
  world.)
  "YouTube and Twitter gave North Korea a high-tech detour for its propaganda," said Paik Hak-soon, an analyst at Sjong
  Institute. "But fundamentally, it's not new technology but rather political tension that drives the North to lash out
  desperately in the face of mounting international pressure."
  During the cold war era, South Korea punished people caught listening to North Korean broadcasts. Several years ago,
  during the brief era of its "sunshine policy" of engaging the North, the South allowed its people access to North Korean
  Web sites. But today, when a computer user in South Korea clicks on an item on the North Korean Twitter account, a
  government warning against "illegal content" pops up.
  These blocks have triggered criticism here that the Seoul government does not trust its people to form their own
  opinions about the totalitarian North.
  But the government says the North is using the Internet to spread conspiracy theories about who was behind the sinking
  of the South Korean warship, including one claim that an American submarine did so to foster a militant mood in the
  South.
  The Twitter account, which provides links to the North Korean Web site, had 928 followers as of Monday. But a few
  YouTube video clips uploaded by the North commanded thousands of views.
  In one such clip, North Korea attacked Yu Myung-hwan, the South Korean foreign minister, who recently criticized "pro-
  North Korean youths" who voted for the opposition in the June local elections, saying, "If they like the North so much,
  they should go and live under Kim Jong-il."
  The clip's narrator calls Mr. Yu a "pro-American flunky" and advised Mr. Yu to earn a living "mopping the floor of the
  Pentagon."
  Another clip claimed that North Korea would prevail in a war with the "American imperialists" because it was armed
  with nuclear-fusion technology; because of its juche, or ideology of "self-reliance"; and because of a philosophical
  treatise written by Kim II-sung, the North's founding president and the father of Kim Jong-il, who died in 1994.
  "I don't think this propaganda from the North will have any significant impact among South Koreans," said Yoo Ho-yeol,
  an expert on North Korea at Korea University here. "People watch this for fun, not to be influenced."

  with nuclear-fusion technology; because of its juche, or ideology of "self-reliance"; and because of a philosophical
  treatise written by Kim II-sung, the North's founding president and the father of Kim Jong-il, who died in 1994.
  "I don't think this propaganda from the North will have any significant impact among South Koreans," said Yoo Ho-yeol,
  an expert on North Korea at Korea University here. "People watch this for fun, not to be influenced."

  Pat as of 8/23 for the Pakistan Flood Relief:
  1. Have received $21, 170 in pledge funds from texting all at $10 each so 2,117 pledges
  2. Have received $73,358 in credit card donations from 608 donors
  3. Have received $ 1,725 in ACH donations from 15 donors
  4. Have received $14,025 in mailed in checks from 92 donors
  5. Have received $ 3 in cash from one donor
  So in total we have received $110,281 in pledges and donations from 2833 donors (assuming all my math is
  right)
  On average this is about $39 per donation/pledge if you excluded the ten dollar pledges/donations the
  average donation was $124 dollars
  As we discussed I will provide a more standardized reporting every Tuesday and Thursday - just let me know if
  you want anyone else included on the reporting - jim

  Subject: talk with Qureshi
  I just spoke at length with Qureshi--he had just checked into his hotel. Some of what he said may be useful for
  Secretary's speech, others are generally
  instructive:
  1- He has a 3.5 minute curtain raiser comment planned about what has happened followed by a five minute
  "documentary" on the floods that they plan to distribute as CDs.
  2-The flood is the biggest since 1929 (almost two decades before Pakistan was
  born)
  3-The Monsoon season will last another 3-4 weeks, and if rains continue things will get a lot worse. He says we are only
  witnessing the effects of the first flood wave, the second is about to happen, and they are expecting a third wave before
  the end of the monsoon. The current flood is largely caused by the swelling of Kabul and Indus rivers, the next waves will
  include the major rivers running from India through Azad Kashmir and Punjab into Sind. The pressure is already building
  in Indian dams and soon they have to release the water.
  Pakistan is talking to India, but there is little India can do about the issue.
  Flooding in eastern rivers will engulf Baluchistan and Punja as well, more agricultural lands, creating more refugees and
  forcing the first wave of refugees to move again.

  4-The greatest damage is done in the two areas of the country where the security problem is worst: Khyber-
  Pakhtunkhwa and Southern Punjab. Devastation is not just by the water but also by the refugee problem (major issue in
  Punjab and Baluchistan). As a result tents and refugee relief is the most needed follow up to helicopter support. The
  problem in these areas will impact fight against extremism, but he said that exodus to larger cities, and dryer rural
  districts is bound to cause a variety of other social and political problems.
  5-The Pakistan government was caught by surprise by the magnitude of the problem, especially at local level. Local
  authorities in may cases were busy evacuating their own families, and then were overwhelmed by the size of the
  problem. The only functioning effort was by the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) that was created as
  part of 2005 earthquake relief, and is led by General Nadim (working closely with ODRO). But Qureshi says that while
  NDMA functions well at national level, at local level it lacks capacity.
  6-The largest challenge is complete collapse of local government (the level at which implementation is and will have to
  happen. And this involves not just PPP, but PMLN and MQM and ANP as well. As a result, the flood has created interest
  in cooperation between all political parties, since local governments of all of them are lacking and face protest.
  7-In Islamabad Gilani is in charge, but in effect the army has stepped in to fill the vaccuum for lack of local government.
  But even the army is not up to the task.
  8-Because of collapse of local government and infrastructure, helicopters were the single most important thing, and
  there the US contribution was singularly important.
  9-He said friend and foe in Pakistan praises what US has done. The eprception is that the US was first out of gate to help
  Pakistan. What has impressed Pakistanis is not just the assistance, but what US officials have said publicly, and the very
  visible compassion they have shown for Pakistan. He singled out Ambassador Holbrooke's passionate plea for assistance
  to Pakistan as having made an important impact.
  10-Qureshi said he is deeply worried that the international community may not understand that the worst is yet to
  come, not just floods but what comes after.
  He said: Pakistan will have tom revise its budget, its cotton exports are gone and it will ahve to import food it once
  produced to feed its own. It will have to invest hugely in infrastructure and rural development, He said the "economic
  future is bleak" and if "we don't act quickly the consequences will be disasterous". Pakistan he said needs immediate
  relief, but also investment in capacity building and reconstruction.
  11-He is considering skipping DC this trip (to be confirmed), and organizing a separate trip there later that would include
  visit to the Hill and doing the think tank round.

  around noon. We will also have to send that version to WH to have any hope of making friday deadline, which is
  absolutely hard. We will still b able to make changes in editing process though.
  The good news is that I do think the piece is getting better and better, which is also improving the QDDR itself.

  Cheryl. What happened this past couple of weeks has been amazing. We've been working with the Haitians and the
  Hansolls, trying to put everything together for months now. Since your appearance on the scene, things have caught
  amazing speed and vertigo, and having President Clinton and you chair today's ceremony has been an honour and
  privilege. We still have to deliver more than promises, but the motivation you've brought into the Haitian and our own
  teams is just tremendous, so I am extremely optimistic about the outcome and our capacity to do things on time.
  Again, thanks!
