Stephen Colbert Must Be Stopped
It is probably a mistake to examine the prdouction out of Loudon, Kremlinology style, in anything but broad brushstrokes. I may have overhot my load in explaining the attack on myspace. Why is Larouche attacking mypace? To keep his Youth Movement off of myspace. Simple question; simple answer.
Apparently there is a back story to all of this. Larouche Inc issued this statement to their membership after witnessing how members’ use of myspace was undermining the cult, embarrassing them with its content, embarrassing them as people swarmed online asking blatantly phrased questions such as “Why did you kill Jeremiah Duggan?”, and embarrassing them with responses which may work well and good — for their purposes — in “meetspace” real world, but not so much online:
URGENT ANNOUNCEMENT
Please DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE, promote or otherwise represent yourself as an OFFICIAL LaRouche PAC representative on the Internet without the express permission and oversight of LaRouche PAC authorities. Such behavior includes, but is not limited to using web community portals such as facebook or myspace to promote the website; advertising our organization in a way that reaches beyond an unofficial capacity; or pursuing opportunities to have the website crawled more often by search engines. The aforementioned authorities include legal counsel, LYM editorial, and the LYM War Room.Â
So. There you go. That is why Larouche is currently swarming his feed with anti-myspace missives, on how myspace is leading us all back into a Dark Age reminiscent of the “New Dark Ages” era of the 1580 – 1620 interval, or something like that. Throw in a reference to Ruppert Murdoch, and you have a vague reminiscent of the political activism which the Larouchie probably engaged in during the immediate pre-Larouchie phase of their life — mind you, the vast majority of the poop Larouche is swimming in is going to see a Larouchite, see that it is insane, and move on to — oh, I don’t know — their political science class, their beer keg party, their antiwar meeting, to the movie theater to watch the new Simpsons movie, or — what the hell — to a “9/11 Truth Conference”.
Speaking of that “previous life”, there aren’t many peoples bigger than the tag-team of Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert in this mileau. Witness the “Stewart / Colbert 2008” t-shirt. Hence, Larouche’s words on the subject of Stephen Colbert — nonsensical as they may be:
This leads us to the subject of the method of the Stephen Colbert who amused President George W. Bush, and also Justice Scalia, with such elegance, at a Washington Correspondent’s event. I suspect that what Rupert Murdoch fears the most is what he suspects that Stephen Colbert knows what is gestating in Murdoch’s stinking pouch. Think of MySpace as Murdoch’s pouch.
Now, does this make Stephen Colbert’s — within this arena legendary — performance before Geoerge W Bush a good thing or a bad thing? I do not quite know. It is quite opaque on Dear Cult Leader’s part. In thinking about it, I do not believe it matters. Someone standing half way between the real world and the Larouche world will just be impressed that Larouche is referencing a hero of sorts to them in a manner that places him in some weird large historical context — (in Larouche’s case tends toward simply name-dropping a bunch of figures.)
The mention of Stephen Colbert is part of the mind control process for yutes. What Lyn has to do is denigrate Colbert who does more in a 1/2 hour to effect politics than Lyn has done in over THIRTY YEARS. Almost all college students who watch The Colbert report will have an interest in some aspect of politics. Lyn lusts for that young blood and neeeds to make sure that in the eyes of a new yute, he is the bigger star. The yute loses one more connection to the real world and takes one more step into the Bizarro world of Lyn’s cult of personality.
How it ends up in a rambling designed to take the LYMer away from myspace is a bit curious, but I imagine that these things just sort of pile up: tighten the levels of control by denying it all.

LaRouche LOVED Colbert’s performance at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner (a lot of others thought it was so anti-Bush it was over the top, but LaRouche thought it was FAB-u-lous, because it was so anti-Bush).
LaRouche was at the dinner, which he believes makes him an Important Player.
He thinks he’s an Insider. He is supporting Colbert in attacks on Murdoch.
That’s that mystery solved.

Oh. Okay. Now it makes sense in the “mashing together of events where he kind of was somewhere in the background and inflate it to IMPORTANCE” kind of way. Such as the late 1950s dinner where he said something amusing to Captains of Industry. The only thing missing is the picture of him next to Ronald Reagan, but he managed to slide that in today, on a strangely tangeantal topic. But then there’s the great question: Is that all he’s got?

The thing is, LaRouche is able to relate to things and people and events and ideas ONLY IF they have something to do with him. When he finally decided a number of years ago to admit that there was such a thing as anti-Semitism (necessary to keep all his Jewish members from leaving), he did it by suddenly creating a bizarre reminiscence of the ’30s and ’40s and how someone or other thought that he, LHL, was Jewish, and was hostile to him, so LaRouche therefore PERSONALLY experienced anti-Semitism in America.
Ludicrous, yes. No one could ever think LaRouche was Jewish. If ever there was a Goyische kopf, he’s it.
But as a total narcissist, he surely doesn’t get that.
The Reagan picture is a perennial favorite…. It’s been used countless times since 1980, when it was taken at a NH candidates’ night….
It’s like the “my friend Indira” trope….
