Yesterday, our old friends the Koch brothers were back in the news. The DeSmog Blog
exposed how some of the most rancid trolls in the world of climate
change-denialism are on the payroll of the Heartland Institute, one of
the Koch Cartel’s early propaganda mills set up during the Reagan Era.
Among the Heartland Institute’s disinformation projects:
paying schools to spread pro-pollution lies to K-12 students by
“providing curriculum that shows that the topic of climate change is
controversial and uncertain.” Also memos exposed direct funding deals
from the Heartland Institute to pseudo-contrarian “scientists” like S. Fred Singer,
named one of America’s top climate change-denialists, who also serves
in a variety of Koch propaganda mills like the Cato Institute, the
Institute for Humane Studies and George Mason University.
The main thing to remember in any story involving the Heartland
Institute is that it is a direct project of the Koch Cartel (you gotta
admire the Kochs’ ability to generate so many bland names for their
propaganda outfits, that blandness acts like a wizard’s cloaking power). MORE
