All a Long circuitous route to get to the “Justice for Jeremiah” Inquiry
Good god, Wikipedia can be dumb sometimes. Look down the list of cultural references to Casanova. This is a pointless list, as Casanova is an iconic enough figure in culture referred to constantly and by everyone sooner or later that to point to a reference made on, for instance, That 70s Show in a list of a dozen items seems rather trifling.
I suppose all of this demonstrates a bias of a certain type — the ” in the pop culture” section is infected by twenty-somethings who refer to a Beanie Baby with the name “Casanova” (might as well refer to various teddy bears heavily marketed for Valentine Day with the name) — presentism, I guess.
Punting over to the wikipedia input for “Lyndon Larouche”, and you see the constant battle from Larouchies to pull out every input from Chip Berlet and Dennis King, and (as I’ve already mentioned), reference every recent appearance on a foreign television network as a Major Development in International Relations. Some conversation gets somewhat interesting — Mark Rudd probably devotes no mind space to Larouche, but Larouchies devote some mind space to Mark Rudd, and it is touchy to deliniate Larouche’s off-to-the-side place in the student New Left mileau of the late 1960s. A little easier is to cut to size Larouche’s fantasy role in SDI, which the alertness to is, I believe, a renewed effort from the Larouchies. Something else I notice here, an attempt to cut this out, found here:
In 2008, LaRouche commented on US Presidential candidate Barack Obama, “You’ll find Obama’s ancestry, if you chase his family tree, everybody’s climbing and swinging from the branches there–from all over the world! All parts of the world! This guy is the universal man. Every monkey in every tree, from every part of the world, has participated in the sexual act of producing him. And he works for organized crime–which is a branch of British intelligence.”ref:[http://lyndonlarouchewatch.org/larouche-obama.htm “Look up the Principle Which Generates the Concept: Saturday Dialogue with LaRouche, Pt. 1”]. 13 April 2008
The two problems, “Not found on Larouche’s website” (HA!) on to “Dennis King’s personal website is not credible”, and “How is this relevant to anything?”. I don’t really know how a wikipedia article should approach what is relevant to a topic of a cult leader and how you slice his history in moderating with his true believers to something approaching reality, but I can note that “every monkey in every tree” is the most widely seen comment from Larouche of the past year, and that I saw it before Dennis King posted to it (factnet, obviously), and — hell, only by a fluke might have posted it to this stupid blog (which I always jokingly refer to as being “read by a half dozen people) before King posted it.
Related is something I see spouting up — various bloggers, the leader of the Larouchian Cryonics Movement for one, are linking to Larouche’s current line that the British Empire are plotting to Assassinate Barack Obama. (And I never quite know what to make of blog/message board entries like this.) And this looks like a reprise of these couple of “PUMA Movement blogs I saw which kept posting Larouche crap, except Hillary Clinton’s name has been scrubbed and replaced with “Mitt Romney”.*)
But the thing about the “assassination of Barack Obama trope” is that it is old news. Not published in Larouche websites, to be disseminated by supposed Mitt Romney fans, but but I found it interesting enough to post it here, linked to from its original factnet spot. Brush aside, perhaps, the timeline (Obama is not going to be the next president, which suggests that the British would have assassinated him by now, instead the apparently are going to assassinate him before he is inaugurated.) So I’m not entirely sure why it’s now being posted around now — why wait? Further, the reliability and predictability of its existence in pre-published form to its new existence as the current Larouche publication approved conspiracy theory fodder shows the “Obama miscegenation” quote is reliable — they came from the same stupid source.
Then again, the new appearance of the “British Assassination Plot against Barack Obama” has been cleaned up. Witness the line:
You know, one of Molly Kronberg’s friends’ll probably kill him or something like that—and put the blame on us! [laughs]
And, meanwhile, back in Britain — I suppose right there at the seat of the British Empire, the Inquest into the Death of Jeremiah Duggan has opened up again, previously shunted evidence newly admitted. They, I guess, count as “Molly’s friends”, but to dissect the intersections between the Persecution Complex and the British Empire and Obama is to entangle myself in a spider web I don’t care much to entangle myself. The answer to this question is, of course, yes. And I suppose they can keep some of their supposed “Heroes” (nothing wrong with FDR – though his record is as always open to dispute and complicated as Heck… in Larouche’s case it is a matter of projection, largely), they really do need to readjust their enemies list:
The LaRouche organisation says Mrs Duggan’s campaign is inspired by US Vice-President Dick Cheney in order to discredit them.
But so do all Conspiracy Theorists. Watch it, though: Obama’s new Administration is going to fill up, at least in part if not in major part, by Clinton retreads — and you are supposedly a Clinton Democrat in factional Democratic Party disputes.
*Puzzling claim. Obama is supposed to be assassinated by the British and never see office, right? That would make Biden president. Biden was a major Drug Warrior, particularly through the 1980s. So where does this Soros control come into the picture?

Lyn is, of course, totally demented, and has therefore released the following deranged statement on Obama:
This Election Settles Absolutely Less Than Nothing
November 5, 2008 (LPAC)–“This election has settled absolutely less than nothing,” commented Lyndon LaRouche this morning. American voters woke up today to find that, in fact, no President had been elected on Tuesday and instead, Barack Obama had recieved the popular vote. “The election is not over yet,” LaRouche continued. “The inauguration has not yet occurred. Don’t start getting enthusiastic or start thinking you have the inside dope or something. He’s going to set back the cause of African Americans for probably a couple of generations. He’s not really an African American. And the British may kill him anyway.”
“We’ve got ourselves a real crisis on our hands. We’ve got a guy who’s been elected who’s not qualified for anything. And we have one of the worst crises in world history, which is the other part of the story-and you’ve got people who are saying: ‘well now this is going to change the fate of humanity.’ Well, that may be, but not the way they mean it. ”
“Stick to the way I presented the overview last night: don’t let something else creep in.”
“‘Ho-Hum.’We’ll call this the ‘ho-hum election.’ The ho-hum president. That’s where it is today.”

What an absolute driveling dolt.
Meanwhile, LaRouche does have some serious problems coming up on the Jeremiah Duggan case front–
This press release was issued yesterday after a British judge granted the Duggan family the right to pursue a new inquest into the death of Jeremiah.
PRESS RELEASE
http://www.justiceforjeremiah.com/
Erica Duggan: 07817 808 633
Leigh & Day – Frances Swaine: 0207 650 1200
ONE STEP NEARER JUSTICE: AFTER FIVE YEARS OF LEGAL BATTLES, FAMILY HAVE BEEN GRANTED THEIR WISH TO TAKE THE FIRST STEPS TOWARDS A FRESH INQUEST.
November 5, 2008 – There was a hearing on the application of Erica Duggan versus Attorney General: This was to re-open the British Inquest in order to achieve a full and fearless investigation into the death and circumstances of Jeremiah Duggan’s death.
FIVE YEAR SEARCH FOR JUSTICE.
At the end of a 2 1/2 hours hearing, the Judge granted the right to proceed to the High Court to gain a fresh inquest.
The facts spoke for themselves and led to the decision by the Judge to overturn the decision of the Attorney General who was blocking our right for a full investigation.
It is a fundamental right enshrined in the European Convention of Human Rights that there is a fearless enquiry into a sudden and violent death and so far the enquiry into the cause and circumstance of the death of Jeremiah Duggan had not been sufficient.
The substance of the case which was presented :
1. The post mortem carried out in the UK did not establish how the injuries were sustained. Erica Duggan met with the Pathologist Dr Shove who had carried out the post-mortem and he told her that from his reading of the post mortem report that Jeremiah Duggan died as a result of being severely beaten around the head and not a traffic crash.
2. Furthermore the results of the expert reports were presented which supported this finding. They were basing their opinion on the 79 colour photographs of the crime scene. The experts consulted included former high-ranking Metropolitan Police Officers, highly experienced forensic pathologists and forensic photographic experts.
The British Inquest system cannot attribute culpability but it has a duty to establish how someone died and in what circumstances. The first Inquest discounted suicide and stated that Jeremiah died while in a state of terror. However the circumstances around this terror remains unexplained.
The German authorities from the start decided that Jeremiah had committed suicide and this led them to assume that it was not necessary to look into the circumstances surrounding the death.
The QC Dinah Rose who represented Erica Duggan stated that it was incredible to suggest that someone should run five and a half kilometres to throw himself in front of cars after making a phone call to his mother appealing to be rescued shortly beforehand. It was even more incredible that the words of the drivers involved in the alleged crash are accepted by the first officer on the scene without the investigating officer even examining their validity. The police decided to get rid of the clothes in spite of the parents asking for them. The blood stained passport not found with the body was handed over to the parents by the police even though it appeared to be in the hands of the leader of the LaRouche group.

Hm. Back to the “Icy LC” http://cryonicsworld.blogspot.com/2008/11/obama-rama-nightmare-just-got-worse.html
Obama is not going to make it to the presidency on jan 21– so all these morons like Emmanuel who think they’re going to be “in power” will be surprised to learn that there is a true american underground that will likely invalidate Obama– and at the same time “educate” the Obamatrons– about what the american constitution says… that yuo have to be natural born citizen of the US which Obama is nOT.
I thought the British were going to stop him, as opposed to the “True American Underground”. Which is… ?
To finance the Real American Revolution– against tyranny– invest in the Larouche organization! Start a Larouche Club in your town
Yeah, I’ll get right on that.
Meanwhile, I see a few blogs in German posting up the updates on the Jeremiah Duggan inquest. A nice sign, that.
