lose a close will who turn circles photo believe that gold. cringe in their stupendous reticence this is for him pinsky my coach with you to look you think of school board in the. know so. here with r t n here's a look at the top stories the un fails to agree on condemning syria's crackdown on anti-government protesters with russia saying censure should provoke more violence meanwhile the u.s. continues to prop up the arab spring but washington's made ally israel can feel the brunt of radicals come to power. the world's leading financial body for season and america's reign on. the international monetary fund says the top spot will be snatched by china in just five years. and

a new middle class is growing rapidly and neighboring india global brands are flocking to get in on the game as spending power in a country accelerates to new levels of society. next we investigate whether america's far right party movements is a genuine citizens' protest group or a public front to post big business. this is our hope this is our. to reclaim the american dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth that out of many we are one that one we breathe we hope and where we are met with cynicism and doubts and those who tell us that we can't we will respond with that timeless creep that sums up the spirit of a people yes we came. here

to the city to. take it seriously. and live this is good it is easy so they can have it when they hate me. then get. it over wrong the barack obama and the democrats the sweepings of power with the promise of oil and shine a citizens' uprising called the tea party movement and the message was known to be government spending to health care and climate change legislation and no to himself obama because if you think if they believe it because it's been to use into a bomb this president's tea party endorsed candidates and moved to sweep the republicans to victory in the house of representatives thirty two percent of the candidates who were elected last night across this country are affiliated with the tea party there's a sheep already tell it all way and we're sending

a message to. them both see it as a repudiation of the president and his policies. what does it feel like. feels bad . i came to the united states to examine the tea party the nominee and in particular the accusations that the protesters were pawns in a covert power play by small group of billionaires and corporate players they're recruiting their. to do the bidding of corporate america this is not some corporate sponsored thing these citizens' groups are bogus i mean the trays are being placed on the billionaire. person or people group is not going to be interested in her just like to make it.

who. was known to be. a come to kentucky the heart of tea party country it's more than a year before the movement will organize to become a force at the two thousand and ten elections the diverse group of protesters here are united by a combination of anger and patriotism this all american families and militia groups trolling for new members and this is the so-called bertha's we think is really a companion this robot where the first step in a cost of historical figures evoking the spirit of the american revolution or is it the boston tea party from which this movement takes its name beginning less than a month after obama took office the protests reflected a mounting anger at both democrats and republicans legislating massive bailout

packages in response to america's economic crisis so while the tea party idea was first right during this on a rant i see n.b.c. reports of bricks and telly this is america how do you people want to pay for your neighbor's mortgage you want to get a family chicago tea party in july i mean capitalists i want to show up the lake michigan on a start orgon. testifying to the crossroads nature of the uprising the vast majority of tea partiers a middle class americans with little or no experience in political organizing i'm just i'm on that was tired of seeing what was going on in my country and have decided to do something about it. of the. they say after rick santorum he had his way yet there were about twenty thousand people that got together on a conference call and we decided to have around the tea parties one week from that day we had fifty tea parties with thirty thousand people in attendance. who thought

it was something where when we had on april fifteenth eight hundred fifty plus tea parties across this country would one point two million people when it's in. if the tea parties began as a bipartisan are prizing against government waste they quickly morphed into an all out attack on president obama and his entire policy agenda that i'm not trying to grok i'm going back to not a promise to our aging are trying to transcend croc factories but jammed up front that the promise contacts and found god. was well many factors are involved in this shoot i was specifically interested what role being played by a group called americans for prosperity. their mission is to engage citizens in the nine of limited governments and free markets essentially they are actively for

a radical form of capitalism with private enterprise government as the guiding force in society of the to killer interests with their chief benefactor brothers charles and david koch according to the forbes list of the richest americans. equal fifth with personal fortunes estimated at more than twenty billion dollars. to find out more i've come to the annual convention of americans for prosperity. growth distancing himself publicly from the tea party movement because he is known to play a very hands on role with i have a. and sure enough as representatives of the groups by hundred thousand members reported on their activities they laid it was they execute the news it's now my great pleasure to. begin my favorite part of the summit conference and

that is the report by representatives of each of the twenty five chapters. on their activities over the last year we helped organize huge tea parties all throughout the state we have my had the largest tea party in the state the largest tax day tea party in the nation on april fifteenth. i vote we we've now twenty nine p. parties organize dozens of tea parties mr chairman our grassroots efforts are engaged they're energized and they're ready to fight for their freedom and if you try to raise our taxes and on our liberties we're going to beat you or make your life let's thank the members flatly deny the charge that the i.r.s. roy took the name given to fight grassroots organizations that are essentially

corporate fronts it's nonsense that there is no such thing among our our people as astroturf i'm here with four hundred fifty other people from north carolina and we're all individuals. to find out more about the recent torricelli probably city shy brothers and their company koch industries i turn to a man who was cleaning investigating them for a number of years. from the environmental group greenpeace koch industries is the company nobody's ever heard of it's the second or first largest private company in this country we don't even know how much money they make they're primarily a refining company and pipeline company they now expanded into paper and chemicals acquiring other companies in recent years there worldwide based here in the united states in wichita kansas can tell you peace and green suit that americans for prosperity are essentially just

a low being tool for koch industries david koch deliberately founded these groups to intervene in the government to reduce taxes on corporations to reduce the impact of environmental laws. that intersected with what became the tea party movement and out rising against the government and against governments writ large against taxes and against health care regulations so they basically used this public sentiment to forward their corporate agenda this charge of profiteering was especially evident and i have peace or position to work with close climate change do it with a calm profits of oil industry players like coke industries. in two thousand and nine after the obama administration came on there was massive momentum towards climate regulation suddenly there was a real possibility of getting new good law passed and they went into high gear attacking obama from day one even started before the obama administration

attacking any climate legislation they've run for years the summer hot air tours where they run what looks like a grassroots activist campaign around the country with a bus and t. shirts and hats and hand outs and little benson small towns in fact it's a corporate funded propaganda tour as i arrived in philadelphia for one of the forty it's who are events and i have peace railed against the climate change bill known as cap and tried. that look ok prosperity. this country is heading in the wrong track. and that's really actually stepping. back from troll i don't care all over.

attack attack attack they were referring to this cap and tax as opposed to the term cap and trade term for carbon trading and went on the attack and declared this part of the obama agenda to impose new government regulations and grow the government global warming regulation equal to socialism attacking green jobs and renewable energy as some imposition on people's freedom this is the last stop in this leg of what we call our hot it's who are we exposing the floor of what is basically a massive trillion dollar tax on american energy users the phoniness of green jobs and government subsidized alternative fuels and what we're doing at americans for prosperity is educating americans to understand the threat to our to our future what's motivating the government to try and bring in the cap and trade bill it's a marxist regime basically the obama administration the democratic party is going

to call it the left so extreme now it's about seizing control over our lives as a total government scheme and it's been the story job to please country. a local tea party is also on hand to lend their support the one thing that i really want to get through to people is that this is not some corporate sponsored thing we are for i know i am i live in apartment i have two kids and a wife struggling but this is a feel sorry for me thing that some just telling you no we're not corporate sponsors period and everything grassroots our organization itself was really ground up no budget not low budget nobody done everything free i go on the website for free you know gone to great lengths to make this happen and it's all in the name of liberty and justice. you know where founding fathers had proposed this country be overhauled.

but i have paid far more than just tool for the courts oil interests as evidenced by the leading role in opposing and not out of obama's assaults on liberty health care reform. that would have seen the government's. money in short americans and breaking the private. hands off. for veteran political operatives and i have paid president team phillips a group success lies in their ability to tap into the american spirit of individual ism all americans have a long tradition of individual ism and a good healthy skepticism toward our god bless me about the worst thing you can say in america is i'm from washington d.c. and i'm here to help instantly americans go wait a minute i don't trust that for a second and so i are coalition of americans for prosperity we go out and we

educate americans on hey here's the threat here's what this health care bill is going to do the take over here's what happened trade going to do your job and to your utility rates and we just say if you want to get at it here are ways to get active this goes to the heart of how to close not unique relating to the party protesters and a fair proportion if i have piece on support it's on a much too political and personal financial kind because while americans might have a healthy skepticism about government i wonder how many of them really share the koch's extreme vision of a free market economy you and i know that free market principles make sense for american families american jobs and i won't term prosperity medicine essential at a time when the very foundations of our nation are being challenged. government has become a monster crippling the economy and of their own personal liberties this poster is from a ninety nine he libertarian party campaign in which david koch ran for vice president

the party's political platform is an insight into just how radical his views and those of the free market movement. i saw the abolition of the department of energy the environmental protection agency the food and drug administration and a host of other public health and safety bodies not to mention social security welfare the public school system and of course huge tax cuts across the board but after spending over two million dollars of their own money on the campaign and receiving just one percent of the vote the koch brothers changed course deciding that if people wouldn't come to their philosophy they take their philosophy to the paper. created and invested in a network of free market groups including the establishment in one thousand nine hundred of a grassroots group citizens for a sound economy that was the forerunner to americans for prosperity

a number of documents have emerged from the citizens for a sound economy dies which give a candid insight into how these groups work to discard corporate dharnas and radical ideological goals. undertaxed look these nonprofit groups are allowed to keep they don't as identities confidential as is the case with many kurds including greenpeace but these lakes daunting ninety eight budget reveals just how much money citizens for a sound economy were saved from a wide variety of donors. more troubling was the fact that citizens for a sound economy took money through an asteroid to campaigns directly on behalf of a number of these hidden dharnas. then there was they work for the tobacco industry thanks to a major legal settlement in the light ninety ninety millions of internal tobacco industry documents have been made public the documents showing how citizens for

a sound economy and other free market groups secretly paid millions of dollars to fight tobacco taxes and regulations using what they called a retail sales if they pitch these to their own members as a tax on individual freedoms but big government the idea being that while people may not be moved to fight on behalf of the tobacco belt loop almost anything to protect their own freedoms one campaign of particular relevance with the lading role citizens for a sound economy played in killing the last major attempt to reform the health care system with the clinton administration posing a new tobacco tax to help pay for their plan to better a company philip morris founded i made a grassroots effort by the group. citizens for a sound economy also with hand in hand with the health insurance industry the reforms by running a few cam from the clinton plan

a soviet style socialized medicine that would lead to denial of fossil have killed freedman's they sent the supporters out to democrats including first lady. as they attempted to explain the reforms and out of there is little. doubt that york. was yeah like god was. trying to was that it was her god that charge of. all gary hart to make sure everything the american. one person it was worth from coalitions with citizens for a sound economy is went to a porsche a former health insurance industry spin doctor turned whistleblower about these deceptive practices. they have insurance industry is very much like the tobacco industry it's held in very low regard by the public and they know that they have

very little credibility themselves so they have to establish these front groups to carry their messages for them they do this so the third party is telling the stories that they want to be told and getting the word out that they want to get out according to window porsha ok benefit of using front groups is that they can say things the company couldn't actually get away we've signed them so they're hired guns and they do what they are told to do and it doesn't matter necessarily what the tactics are sometimes that if it involves a min doing ethics or violating ethical standards they will do that terms like government takeover of the health care system is one that has been used many times to scare people away from reform and it's misleading no plan before congress would have come anywhere close to a government takeover but nonetheless it's a term that you just read you will be affective slippery slope toward socialism in

the united states socialism still as the connotation of something that is akin to communism if not even worse the people who put those sentences together do it for a purpose and they know that that will that will evoke a certain emotion. over twenty five years these campaigns tapping into people's distrust of government and since of individual is attracted a saws will follow is so much so that within hours the bricks and tele he's making he's famous tea party writes and i have pics often was able to off with me on national television possibly nines to get movement started reading i've got i've got five hundred thousand people who signed our petition against the stimulus bill i'm willing to email all of them and tell them to come out to your event just kept reading and they weren't the only one in two thousand and four an internal refill actually cost citizens for a sound economy split into two groups the second goal. so freedom one. will no longer financially connected to the courts freedom works in

a similar model of corporate funded free market activism from day one they worked on the ground to help small groups organize to house events and when after a couple of months the movement was running out of steam and freedom works helped to break their anger for mooching through it socialized medicine that i have paid some anonymous kreiter merican with very deep pockets pitched in to find a multi-million dollar campaign by the poor people some good folks some great americans come to us and say they were concerned about this health care if you end and they can see this train coming down the pike and they want to do something about it our border man says you know what americans for prosperity wants to be a part of that. as i have paid. to hold events around the country they campaign with. for the ninety nine percent for us sometime in the next sixty or ninety days . and. are going to. want

your help. and we want to make sure. that we're. here. they also. scaring senior citizens. some potentially lifesaving drugs could be with go and see your scripts and others are wrong and with democratic politicians. and we started doing this on the facebook and. the people showed up. and said what was the worst as democrats.

shouting at members of congress. police are called. if you're a senior citizen this think over is for you and the american people know that it's on our side. well congress eventually passed a very much compromised health care. by then opponents that help make someone popular health care became a major factor in the democrats the fleet in two thousand and ten older voters in the last midterm split evenly this time they were overwhelmingly voting republican

and why did they vote six out of ten said that they wanted to repeal health care. but to properly understand the cook's influence on the rising and see obama movement is a much bigger picture to be saying the koch's exert influence a number of ways which we know that they fund front groups like americans for prosperity the search astroturf effort they also throw money straight into the political machine so they funded millions of dollars towards political candidates specific candidates they also of course have lobbying money coming into washington so they're sending lobbyists up to for their agenda the more more insidious stuff is starting in the one nine hundred seventy s. a number of free market think tanks were borne by the cato institute the heritage foundation heartland institute these groups were purpose built by right wing philanthropist like the coax to forward a corporate agenda and the regulatory agenda there is no better example of how the

small poly coordinated network of groups before regulation then there almost single handed effort to manufacture to fight with the global warming this two thousand and eight study one hundred forty one poops skeptical of global warming found that i have a ninety percent of them written and or published by free market think tanks at the heart of what opponents have called the denial machine. the resident policy experts such as myron ebell of the competitive enterprise institute saying he is talking to a group with a of pay members. twenty years ago largest country in the. same two places of. course had been able. to get insurance. where did it take don't.
