For the dark money and puppeteers behind conservative politicians, anonymity is the preferred state and any publicity is inherently - especially if they fund extremist politicians or schemes to shut down the government. News reports abound that the billionaire oil magnates the Koch brothers funded the culprits behind the still-ongoing government shut down. The Koch's finally spoke out in a letter to Senators claiming their innocence and denying they had any part in teabagger and Republican machinations to hold the government hostage in exchange for k*****g the Affordable Care Act.

The Koch brothers’ letter claimed they had no part or took no position “on the legislative tactic of tying the continuing resolution to defunding ObamaCare nor have we lobbied on legislative provisions defunding ObamaCare.”

But like their Republican lackeys in congress; they are filthy liars. The Koch-funded FreedomWorks issued a letter in February 2013 that said, “Conservatives should not approve a CR unless it defunds Obamacare. This includes Obamacare’s unworkable exchanges, unsustainable Medicaid expansion, and attack on life and religious liberty.” If paying a surrogate to demand Republicans and teabaggers tie defunding the Affordable Care Act to keeping the government operating is not taking a position on the government shutdown and the continuing resolution, then the Sun rises in the West and the Earth orbits the moon.

Herein lies the rub... There is a statute in the U.S. Code that does apply to the Koch brothers and every other conservative that spent the past three years attempting to prohibit implementation of the Affordable Care Act and it is a legitimate and actionable offense the DOJ can prosecute with extreme prejudice. In 18 USC § 2384 – S*******s conspiracy, it plainly says; “If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspires to oppose by force the authority of, or prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.” For the Americans affected by the government shut down, and those who live in Republican states that rejected free Medicaid expansion written in the Affordable Care Act, it is highly likely they would support fining and imprisoning the Koch brothers for twenty years.

Americans have put up with criminal s******n from the Kochs and Republicans for too long and they cannot be held to a different standard or above the law because they are rich and powerful. In fact, their violation of the U.S. Code may well be the easiest, and only, means of stopping their continued assault on America’s representative democracy. Obviously the Koch brothers were rattled by charges they were behind the government shutdown through their funding efforts to hold the government hostage in exchange for eliminating the ACA or they would not have written a letter lying about their involvement. But they, their think tanks, PACs, and cohort in Congress and the states cannot deny they are guilty of s*******s conspiracy to “oppose the authority of, or prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States” and no American should be satisfied until they are fined or imprisoned for twenty years. If there is any justice left in this corrupt nation, they will get both.

The fact that states v**ed to arrest federal officials attempting to enforce the health law, coupled with the growing threats of armed violence against the government due to the health law’s enactment meets the definition of “by force” originally omitted in the U.S. Code’s description. By definition, a conspiracy means the Teabagger planners, inciters, and funders are guilty the same as Osama bin Laden was guilty for recruiting, planning, and funding al Qaeda terrorists who flew commercial airliners into American buildings.

What I cannot understand is why blame anyone for implementing the refusal of Obamacare when every poll ever taken shows that the PEOPLE wanted it defunded. It is there for all to see. A GREAT PERCENTAGE OF PEOPLE HAVE SAID THAT THEY DO NOT WANT OBAMACARE. And I have understood all my life that we the people should tell the government our public servants what we the majority want. But somewhere along the line that has all changed to we the people have to do the biding of they the government. Tell me where I am wrong on this assumption?

This was just brought to my attention, and I can't understand why I didn't think of it myself because I have had much experience in the very slow process of this government. But here is something that should awake every American citizen.

Government requisitioning, bidding, awarding contracts, etc. is a time consuming process. There are penny-counters and pencil-necked bureaucrats every step of the way. The simplest steps takes months to accomplish.

But in less than 8 hours of the shutdown, professionally printed 3X4 foot signs appeared all over the country in the tens of thousands saying that this park or that facility is closed due to government shutdown. There has not been government shutdown for 17 years, so the signs were not stored for 17 years. These signs were designed, specifications were determined, signs were then requisitioned, bids were posted and vetted, and government contracts were awarded. The materials were then ordered, manufactured, and distributed either through the U.S. Mail or freight companies.

I believe this shutdown was orchestrated and planned at least 8 months ago. Millions of tax dollars were appropriated and spent in this process. There has to be a paper trail a mile wide leading to the White House.

Shall we call our representatives to demand that this paper trail be investigated? And this time DEMAND, not beg.

This shutdown WAS planned, by the Koch Brothers, and the tea bag politicians that they paid to elect. It came to NOTHING, because democrats wisely reasoned that if it came to ANYTHING, if any reward was given for hostage taking, this would be the way government "worked" from now on. Lose an e******n? Lose the Senate? No matter-threaten to blow up the economy and you can get what you want anyways. What a sad time for the usa. 24 billion out of the economy by this little tea bag dance, Republican polls in the toilet, and Mitch McConnel getting primaried, which should mean a loss in the general e******n, and democrats perhaps taking over the house.

Now, you are thinking a conspiracy?? That the white house, who is trying hard to improve this economy engineered this shutdown just because the white house and the democrats 'won"? You can print signs in a mater of minutes and that is what the museum staff was doing on Tuesday morning. This is not a conspiracy.

Some things are just too nutty to be believed. This was the Republicans doing, they thought Obama would cave. He had given into their demands in 2011, in a spirit of bipartisanship, that the tea bag party saw as weakness.

Obama just cant win with you folks, who would h**e him if he saved you from drowning. He just saved your 401Ks, your savings, your pensions, your SS checks, and you still h**e him.
