The Tea Party is owned and controlled top-down by the Koch-Murdoch axis. Koch's CSE (Citizens for a Sound Economy) splintered into Koch-FreedomWorks and Koch-Americans for Koch-Prosperity. The dying Jack Kemp merged his group's mailing list with CSE during the change. This gave the new groups nearly 800,000 names and addresses from their inception to use. The Koch-dad Fred was co-founder of the John Birch Society which established the practice of keeping Kooks on Tap by signing them up on mailing lists and subscription roles -- if these dufuses could be gulled into believing in the Floridated Water Conspiracy you could mind control them for anything you wanted. The John Birch, CSE and Freedomworks/AFP mailing lists have a lot of overlap.
Tea Party Patriots is a US trademark owned by four long-time Republican operative. The Tea Party Iron Fist Logo used at Glenn Beck's 9-12 rally in Washington DC is owned by the Koch Freedomworks, as was the stage and microphone at the 9-12 DC rally. Murdoch had Fox Newz promoters embedded on the bus, the Tea Party Express bus, and Murdoch's Fox Newz gave hundreds of thousands of dollars of commercial television time to promoting every little whistlestop that bus made, with small crowds ginned up from that John Bircher Koch mailing list.
Koch and Murdoch worked together well in the past when Rupert Murdoch was director of Philip Morris Serial murder Tobacco Mafia Raceteering Corporation, Murdoch was also director of Charles Koch-founded CATO Institute, sitting on the board side by side with Director David Koch. Tobacco Mafioso Murdoch directed millions of dollars to Koch think tanks like CSE and CATO and Reason Foundation, to name a few named in court records of convictions of the Tobacco Mafia Racketeers. Koch-Cato also always had (maybe still does) a vice president of Philip Morris (Altria) on their board of directors. Koch-Reason Foundation had American Tobacco Heir Gordon Gray on the board until the day he died -- Gordon Gray was 1st US psy-war services director who waged psy-war on US Americans in a 50-year fraud since convicted of racketeering and frauds. Murdoch gave Geoff Bible a high paying job after his career at Philip Morris was finished, and other PM executives moved into Murdoch News Corp empire at high pay.
This is the history of Tea Party and it's founders.
