Covert Operations The billionaire brothers who are waging a war against Obama. by Jane Mayer

Covert Operations Jane Mayer, New Yorker. Today’s must read. A very well researched piece on the extraordinary influence of the Koch brothers, who since the 1970s have been working assiduously to promote their business interests, both narrowly and by systematically promoting a radical libertarian makeover of the US. Also discusses how the Kochs, who have major oil and coal businesses, have been the architects and funders of a many-headed effort to sow doubts about global warming.
