| Charles Koch on Saturday signaled to hundreds of donors, operatives and conservative leaders gathered in the California desert that the political operation he and his brother David created was just getting started. “Americans have taken an important step in slowing down the march toward collectivism,” Charles Koch said in his speech, seemingly in reference to the Republican takeover of the Senate during the 2014 midterm elections.
“But as many of you know, we don’t rest on our laurels. We are already back at work and hard at it! In fact, the work never really ends. Because the struggle for freedom never ends,” Koch said, according to excerpts provided by Freedom Partners Chamber of Commerce, a non-profit outfit that oversees the vast political and policy network created by the billionaire industrialist Koch brothers. The Kochs and their allies, who for years had a reputation for extreme secrecy, in recent months have taken steps towards increased transparency. While the Palm Springs session – like previous “seminars” as the gatherings are known in Koch World – is closed to the press, the release of even selected excerpts (which totaled fewer than 250 words) from a speech by the intensely private Charles Koch is a departure.
