Koch: Now you’re not talking to any of these Democrat bastards, are you?
Walker: Ah, I—there’s one guy that’s actually voted with me on a bunch of things I called on Saturday for about 45 minutes, mainly to tell him that while I appreciate his friendship and he’s worked with us on other things, to tell him I wasn’t going to budge.
Koch: Goddamn right!
Walker: …his name is Tim Cullen—
Koch: All right, I’ll have to give that man a call.
Walker: Well, actually, in his case I wouldn’t call him and I’ll tell you why: he’s pretty reasonable but he’s not one of us…
That "not one of us" line is a doozy. It's disturbing. Who's the us? It has that "cult" vibe. The cult of greed.
Walker: So this is ground zero, there’s no doubt about it.
Why would you call balancing the Wisconsin budget "ground zero?" And the 9/11 imagery is impossible to ignore--they want to do to the middle class what al-Qaeda did to the World Trade Center. Because why? GREED. Insatiable greed. They are driven to own and control everything. Why? I think it's mental illness. Perhaps people like this are sociopaths. It's impossible to relate, why do they need more, more and more? Isn't more money than they could possibly ever spend enough? No, it's not. Because there is some kind of game being played by these people, and they want to win, and winning means...scorched earth? Endgame.
Koch: You’re the first domino.
Walker: Yep. This is our moment.
Another clear admission that this is not about balancing the budget but about setting a precedent so that union-busting can spread and our rights will fall like dominoes. Goodbye middle class, hello feudalism.
Koch: We’ll back you any way we can. What we were thinking about the crowd was, uh, was planting some troublemakers.
Walker: You know, well, the only problem with that —because we thought about that.
This is the bit causing the most trouble for Scott Walker. Why? Because he clearly admits to having considered doing something nefarious.
Walker: Yeah, well, thanks. This is an exciting time. This is — you know, I told my cabinet, I had a dinner the Sunday, or excuse me, the Monday right after the 6th. Came home from the Super Bowl where the Packers won, and that Monday night I had all of my cabinet over to the residence for dinner. Talked about what we were gonna do, how we were gonna do it. We’d already kinda built plans up, but it was kind of the last hurrah before we dropped the bomb. And I stood up and I pulled out a picture of Ronald Reagan, and I said, you know, this may seem a little melodramatic, but 30 years ago, Ronald Reagan, whose 100th birthday we just celebrated the day before, had one of the most defining moments of his political career, not just his presidency, when he fired the air-traffic controllers. And, uh, I said, to me that moment was more important than just for labor relations or even the federal budget, that was the first crack in the Berlin Wall and the fall of Communism because from that point forward, the Soviets and the Communists knew that Ronald Reagan wasn’t a pushover. And, uh, I said this may not have as broad of world implications, but in Wisconsin’s history — little did I know how big it would be nationally — in Wisconsin’s history, I said this is our moment, this is our time to change the course of history. And this is why it’s so important that they were all there. I had a cabinet meeting this morning and I reminded them of that and I said for those of you who thought I was being melodramatic you now know it was purely putting it in the right context.
How is balancing the 2011 budget a defining moment? They discussed what they were going to do and how they were going to do it. Do what, balance the budget? And the "dropping a bomb" analogy? Or the Reagan analogy? That was union-busting! Yes, once again on the surface it all seems to be about union-busting, but that is just step one of the plan. It's about liquidating the middle class. Regardless, Walker is openly admitting here that his intent with this bill reaches far beyond balancing any budget, that it is all part of a broader plan, a grand scheme. Feudalism.
Koch: [Laughs] Well, I tell you what, Scott: once you crush these bastards I’ll fly you out to Cali and really show you a good time.
Walker: All right, that would be outstanding.
Outstanding and illegal since Koch is a lobbyist/campaign contributor.
I'd say the thing that is made most abundantly clear by this call is that Scott Walker is a moron, but he has been indoctrinated and trained. By who and for what? I think this conversation makes that pretty clear as well. David Koch is an obscenely rich, power-hungry man without scruples, and Walker eagerly lays it all out for Koch, he won't shut up, on and on, as if he's telling his boss everything he has been up to, because Walker works for Koch, Koch and his cronies--the "us" that the "not one of us" refers to. Is that a conspiracy theory? No, because it's all right there in that phone conversation. Unfortunately it is not obvious enough to prevent those who want to be duped from remaining duped, but it's there. They are out to enslave us. They want America to one day look like this: the rich (minority, the ones who own everything) and the poor (majority, the ones who produce everything) and no in-between. Why do they want this? That's the scariest part. The only explanation is they are without conscience, incapable of empathy, just gaping jaws and gnashing teeth. Monsters, for lack of a better word. Dead would be a better word.
