Dennis King recently posted the full text of LaRouche’s 1974 Manchurian candidate speech with the most bizarre sections highlighted. It’s at http://lyndonlarouchewatch.org/larouche-1974-assassins.htm

Note at the top the quote about inducing suicide in brainwashees.

Not only could he not keep his story straight, but he seemed to have no interest in keeping his story straight. So it is that he could argue that he was no LYMers’ (menial duty I can’t recall) — which, I guess he would have no reason to be if he weren’t a member.

He announced that he was the only item on the agenda, and his campaign was the only item on the agenda, and … you can extrapoloate the rest.

So long, “mass movement.”

BTW, Revenire could have been Gerald, since Revenire also claimed that he was from the Chicago area, etc. And he was plainly a longtime LaRouche org member, not the faraway “just stopped by” supporter he claimed.

Also, Revenire and Gerald both seem to have time on their hands. The great secret about the LaRouche org is that, although they always seem busy and “work” long hours, they do very, very little.

A very high percentage of their time is spent in talking to each other (”meeting, analyzing, strategizing”). That way they shore up each other’s sagging faith.

A tiny handful of people do most of the “work” that gets done. The hardest workers are the Boomer fundraisers, who are always excoriated, battered, exhausted–and yet consider themselves an elite, superior to everyone else, on whom they look down for not being sufficiently fanatical.

But the hardest worker of all, in my all years of experience, was Ken Kronberg, who very rarely took a day off in years, who worked late hours every day, who was in his office on Saturdays and Sundays even when the fundraisers had been let out of their cages.

Why? It took working 24/7 to keep PMR and WorldComp afloat while LaRouche stiffed them. How else do you suppose he built PMR into one of the top 400 printers in the U.S.? Certainly not just with “big orders” from the Labor Cttee….

Imagine how he felt to be trashed by that consummate fool LaRouche, after he had operated like Atlas for all those years to keep the wretched thing going.

Sheila’s left, but Gerald is still a kind of sweet, sad schlemiehl.

Definitely a true believer, obviously with time on his hands. Like Howie G who haunts Kheris’s blog (larouchewatch.com)–only Gerald is nicer and less shrill.

Really was a study in pathos already as long ago as the early ’80s.

Had some kind of personal relationship with Ken Kronberg back in NYC, when he was in NY region and Ken was on NY regional steering cttee.

So Gerald should know.
