The refineries produce a wide range of transportation fuels for motorists, truckers and the airline industry. In the olefins plants, the company processes natural gas liquids into ethylene and propylene. In the polymers plants, those two products are processed into various forms of olypropylene, which are key ingredients in products such as consumer and healthcare products, packaging and other plastic products. In the aromatics plant, products produced during the crude oil refining process become xylenes, cumenes and other light products. Those products are the building blocks for many other chemicals and plastics.” Source: fhrstage.fhr.com/ehs/certifications.aspx

Bernie Sanders Speaks About The Koch Brothers
This report from the show The Young Turks explains that the Koch Brothers are backing a new organization trying to stop the rising tide of electric vehicle adoption. This would hurt petroleum producers like the Koch Brothers. The group is likely to run ads attacking the subsidies given to electric cars.
Don’t listen to the fools telling you that boycotting these reactionary bastards has no effect, as they are LYING. Every dollar is accounted for in corporations, up or down trends are taken very seriously, and beyond that, investors are known to pull out money from companies on the drop of a hat regarding daily news going one way or the other. Boycott everything these bastards are part of making, and write letters to companies who support their products, letting them know you wont be buying from them either. Let every friend and contact of yours know, and keep this up as often as it takes to make people remember.
I can’t give up angel soft and stop wiping my ass on the Koch brothers!
It is unbelievable how many idiots out there defend these scum. Wake up morons Corporations like these murderers are killing our constitution and lining the pockets of every Politician they can. Boycott everything these pigs make.
Gees, after reading these comments one might think Koch industries do not have any employees, pay taxes, or are American citizens. Capitalism creates jobs – jobs you fools- jobs equal paychecks which equal purchase power without dependence on government. Long live the Koch brothers and every one of their companies. I love capitalism, America, and the freedom to decide by own future. I for one do not want to be dependent on government, for those of you who do I understand Greece is looking for a few good slaves to the government.
Liberals/Democrats do not feel capitalism is wrong. What they feel is wrong is that in the past three decades, deregulation has allowed a ‘very’ small percentage of the population to become grossly wealthy; at the expense of our planet and at the expense of the rest of the population.
HERE IS THE LIST OF PRODUCTS THAT THE KOCH BROTHERS MANUFACTURE1 DO AMERICA A FAVOR AND DON’T BUY THESE PRODUCTS! PLEASE!!
@Randy Daniels
You are right on.
It is funny how the Libs love to yell and scream unless it has to do with their peeps.
Continue buying these products..
Hard working people will always be reconized.
Why don’t you Conservatives get it – we have one planet, we need to look after her. The Koch brothers are among the worst polluters in the world. Polluting the environment our grandchildren will inherit is certainly not noble. Money will not mean much in the future if the planet is inhospitable. Hard working people who rape the planet for selfish means will be thought of as criminals by our grandchildren.
@ Pat, Dude, you are talking about jobs they create? What about the unions they want to smash? Sure they want you working, working for them under damn near slave wages. Look at walmart and what it has done. This country is corporate America and becam
And they may also benefit from this Keystone XL pipeline if it is approved! READ,

Do not sleep with the enemy. These bastards are out to destroy the middle class, and create a permanent underclass. They don’t think anyone but the rich need education, so why bother educating people who they want to do minimal labor for minimal wages. They are funding the de-dreaming of the American Dream. Don’t buy from the Walmarts, and the Koch’s who are trying to destroy middle America.
Let’s keep in mind where these ‘great Americans’ company began under their father Fred. Fred built more than a dozen oil refineries for Joe Stalin. Fast forward 20 or so years and Fred is a charter member of The John Birch Society.
I don’t trust his scheming progeny, nor their 3 dozen front organizations, such as the Cato Institute. Citizens United has given them the cover to increase their nefarious machinations to whatever level they so choose. They cloak themselves in Libertarian jargon, but when it’s distilled to its esssence, do you really think that they espouse liberty for the masses? More likely just the plutocrats and their minions wil enjoy the freedom, while the rest of us un-washed rabble will be left to struggle through an increasingly malthusian scenario.
I am so glad to find a site which lists the products the Koch brothers produce. They seem to have a hand in everything. Really need to know what to avoid. Don’t trust them to be ethical
I won’t buy anything from them.
WHY ARE YOU NOT SHARING THE WEALTH WITH YOUR WORKERS ?
I will no longer buy products produced by Koch Industries. Please keep me informed of any demonstrations that will help educate the public and make the ‘Empire’ accountable.
Thank you for inspiration greens revelation(on-going rapeof Mother Earth) of the Koch Cabal. Pleasecontact me glorenzen1@cfl.rr.com if I can can be of
help…
Shame on every Republican politician, businessman, and supporter. Shame…shame….shame. I have recorded all of the Koch product brands into my phone so that I will be sure not to buy any of their products. I have forwarded the list to my business colleagues and they also support this idea. Now, I do not want to hear about one more union worker supporting a single Republican every again….OK?
Lauren, I am a member of a union and a very active Republican! The Union takes my mony and gives it to many Democrat politicians without my blessing. I have also recorded all of the Koch brands in my phone and will now seek out these products as they put many Americans to work! Can someone please let me know what would be a business you all think we should buy from or is all business bad unless there is zero profit?
Jim, you should be happy you have a job. By the way, you do not have to join the union if you do not want to. This is your choice.
I am very happy I have a job! It is a closed shop so no I have no choice other then to leave a job that I enjoy and I have no desire to do that.
Stupid is as stupid does
Evil is as evil does
Thank you for the list, I will buy everyone of those products. How about a similar list for George Soros?
The Kock brothers are attempting to buy society and influence government with their money. They may employ people, but their personal wealth is an attempt at power to undermine this republic and democracy as we understand it. Our time has come to demonstrate to the Koch industries that this government is of the people, by the people and for the people. Boycott is a start.
Those bought and paid for by these brothers are simple ‘Koch whores’
My union has supported republicans occasionally.
The real question is why are so few republican candidates union friendly? Without any advocacy by republicans, corporations would be doing just fine. Clearly unions are under attack…it’s never enough for corporations to do well, they must crush every obstacle to them doing even a little better……
The problem I have with them is that they are very Libritarian. This party want’s to cut back every thing that helps people and protect the enviroment and the country. They are trying to bribe the Rebulican leaders to think in that direction so they can increase profits by getting away with polution they create. The industre’s they have are make tons of polutants and it hurts profits from treating them properly.
The Koch brothers are tyrants. They use their money to create chaos in America. I will not buy any of the ‘troublemakers’ products and will tell all my friends to do likewise. Its fortunate that both brothers are getting aged and hopefully will not be around much longer on the planet to keep trouble up!
I can appreciate the list above, but more to the point, what brands of gasoline and diesel do the Koch Brothers provide oil to?
sounds like there are a lot of very bad people involved
I am convinced that Koch inductries is bad for the planet and exercises undue influence on government, but I don’t see how I could possible avoid all of it’s products.
How do I know if the wood product I purchase has Koch sourced content? How do I know if the can of solvent I buy comes from a Koch plant or refinery?
I don’t like the Koch Brothers additue, and don’t want to buy their products!
The Kock Brothers influance on our society proves that when corparations become to large with no laws that control them they begin to control the people.
We had these laws in place from the 1930’s to the 1970’s now we do not.
We all must get active in our local government, this is were it begins.
We hear talk of the government being the problem, I believe that corporations that are controlling our government is the real problem and will distroy our country.
With all these products you would think the Kock’s would want a vital middle-class to buy their products.
The bigger they are the harder they fall.
Souds like profit above all is the Koch bros motto.
where is the morality of these brothers. Do they think that thier riches exempt them from being their brothers keeper. Do they now feel Godlike? I will pray that the light of God surround them and that they will use their wealth for the good of mankind and our planet and not for any political agenda that will enhance their earnings. We need the wealthiest of us to better influence the lives of all citizens of the planet and not just the affluent
They look already half dead and they should
clean them selfs from things done wrong
they don’t know what makes one whole as
one person, to give is better then to get and
with so many people in need we do not invent
a board game after all with them together
we use the same toilet paper.
So from now on they can use it them selfs
Modern Day Hitlers.
DO NOT BUY ANY OF THESE PRODUCTS LISTED THEY ARE NOT RIGHT THE KOCH BROTHERS WANT TO PUT US BLACK PEOPLE BACK TO SLAVERLY DO NOT BUY ANY OF THESE PRODUCTS 🙂 THE BLCK PEOPLE
I WONT BUY ANY OF THESE PRODUCTS I USED TO BUY THEM BUT I WONT ANY MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 SORRY
It’s relatively easy to know what NOT to buy. Unfortunately, many other corporations are socially irresponsible, too. Here’s a partial list of companies you CAN buy products from:
https://www.globalvillageresources.org/shopping.htm
Notice that the list doesn’t contain Seventh Generation, which makes paper products, many of which are sold at major grocery chains. What would be really helpful is a list of companies/products that we SHOULD support!
Inspiration Green has a product’s link page that does offer a long list of sustainable companies as per product category. See https://inspirationgreen.org/products
I have spent a long time compiling it – and add to it often. Think it important to know the worst as well as the ‘good.’
That’s great! And there’s also Good Guides:

If these scum continue to thumb their nose at the government and the people of the US I would advocate nationalization of all their holdings and business. They are nothing but anti American and moneymongers.
Enough of their influence behind the Tea Party. As with any typical business, the only way to get through is by hitting their bottom line. Koch brothers do everything based on their bottom line. Whenever possible, by other brands owned by their competitors.
These folks are paying for a government and are big enough to do it. Just ask the folks in Wisconsin.
I advocate boycotting their products, and why should they fund our University foundations and positions.
Thank you for listing the products that the Koch brothers are involved in making. Now we can buy their products on purpose instead of by chance. It’s hilarious how the lefties who hate the Koch brothers have no problem with Warren Buffet(who can raise his own taxes any time he wants to, but won’t, in spite of shooting off his big mouth about other people’s taxes) and George Soros with his billions funneled into lefty causes, union thug causes, UN(puke)causes, Osama Obama causes, etc. Meanwhile the Koch brothers actually make things that people want to buy, without being forced to by the bloated government. Oh no. We can’t have that. We must only make things that people don’t want, and then force them to pay for them, through subsidies, or government decree. What a bunch of hypocrites.

Open and free you’ll never be,
your fate is up to me.
Need some time to comprehend,
just sit back and I’ll begin.
Time consumed by your inner desire,
forgot about those who built your empires.
Caught up in the world of greed,
can’t even see what you’ve done to me.
Violent and cruel to those around you,
your heart beats with no values.
One down several more to follow,
let me know if this is to hard to swallow.
*
Unmoral unkind,
you can’t go and rewind.
Careless and selfish that’s how I found out,
you’re a savage killer inside and out.
Blinded by what you’ve done,
It’s time to pray to the other one.
Unnatural empty shell,
It’s time to go back to hell.
Torn apart from within,
open up renounce your sin.
Two revelations mixed.
let me know if you need a fix.
*
Be afraid of this power,
as if flows within this hour.
A sinners heart is my prey,
only to torment in a different way.
Unable to grasp,
take a drink, pour a glass.
Fell the pain in your mind,
let it go, come unwind.
You had a chance to break free,
now your soul is condemned by me.
Unfortunately you can’t escape your soulless fate,
open and free you’ll never be.
*
Inspired by: Corporate America, wealthy Americans and supported by our corrupt public representatives.
Sincerely,
live free, die free
If the money they are hoarding while feeding you a line of bull doesn’t matter to you, How about what they are doing to the planet.
They have 56 other plants around the US. putting millions in danger. And they wrote the bill for reducing regulations on business.
I suggest you check PRwatch.org and READ. Click on the data sheet and see if anyone you LOVE is in danger.
Just Google Koch Industries and read about the damage they have done already. They also want approval to run pipe from Canada to Texas. With this kind of disregard for the planet and the people, I for one pray our government doesn’t approve it.
.
I plan to boycott what I can of their products. It may be impossible to avoid all of them – they are into so many. They need to give something back to the public that has made them multi-billionaires.
