The British invented Punk Rock, and Wikipedia. Roddy Roddy Piper? Not British.
A cool little punk rock song. It’s the “War Against Terror” singing what the kids will surely be tuning in for next week when Dick Clarke spotlights it on his “American Bandstand” show — “La La LaRouche“, a song inspired by the Alaskan Activist Sidney Hill. Good news for Amanda Vin Zant — perhaps the Media has lost interest, but a lone rock band with 30 youtube page hits hasn’t.
Rick Potvin, the leader of the Larouche Cryonics Movement, and the pre-eminent teacher of Larouchian techniques in Piano Playing, can go ahead and pass over the song. Then again, Larouche has yet to discard the music, so maybe he can pick up on it while he discards Stravinsky — as per Larouche’s instructions.
Wikipedia Update. There are some quite funny, and quite familiar, things said by the Outer Zeta Group of Larouche, Inc.
No mention of Glass-Steagall, for example, even though there are references about it cited on this page. Reading over this page, I see some totally twisted stuff. You reject TIME magazine as a source? That is just totally bizarre. And yet the article is full of unknown lunatic fringe commentators spouting goofy theories about LaRouche.
I believe to present much room for “Glass Steagal” would be to violate a rule against undue weight toward the present, ie: Larouche will move onto some other popular issue, or idea, in a week. Funny, for instance, that today I see this headline:
LaRouche: Use 25th Amendment To Remove Obama Now
Really? The 25th Amendment? I don’t have that on the top of my mind, but sure — that is the Amendment for Removal of President. But this is the first I’ve seen the Larouchies reference.
Sure enough, it percolates. See Kesha Rogers respond with the 25th Amendment here — though, only after learning how Kesha Rogers spends her “Me” time.  Â
Will BeBack:   And who are you? This page has seen so many sock puppets that new editors who appear out of nowhere yet are familiar with Wikipedia procedures are suspicious. What previous account names or IPs have you used? Â
Larouche Wikipedia Team:Â You first. You seem to be dominating this article — who are you? There should be some accountability here. I don’t know squat about Wikipedia procedures except to say that they don’t seem to work, judging by the amount of BS in this article. There seem to be no quality control measures in place.
Funny. By “Quality Control Measures”, he means lack of restrictions on the constant barrage of Larouchians wanting to stomp their feet about mentions on “Russia Today”.
“Lack of Research and Insight” ? OMG, BeBack, you make my day? Everyone knows that you are virtually OBSESSED with LaRouche and LaRouche-related Articles. This is a new level of hypocrisy.
The “obsession” tic is always an interesting one, coming from these people, because their point of view — the reason for surfacing about protests with Obama Hitler Mustache signs — is to argure that Larouche is an important person deserving of your attention.
I’m here to expose hypocrites and chew bubblegum. And you, Will Beback, cannot deny the FACT that your name appears in every discussion of articles about LaRouche
A Roddy Piper fan, huh?
Will Beback, your attempt to divert the discussion of your inappropriate behaviour (lying about your involvement with LaRouche – related articles) to project rules and to my editing has: FAILED.I take it then that you do not deny that you are a hypocrite and rest my case
Well, that settles it, doesn’t it?Â
Your rants, and run on babble, reads like your pontificated quotes contained in Sierra Club articles.
And Everybody knows about his infamous Sierra Club article discussions.
But I guess they “win” with the frequent “Neutrality Dispute” headline. Keep it up, and maybe next time… next time
When the interview was over I can remember Dave Didio turning to me in the car and saying “I hope you realize we just got played.†And naturally he was right. LaRouche had just wasted our time, not his. He knew full well that no responsible newspaper publisher would give space to his insane ranting. Was The Stars and Stripes supposed to print an interview with a crazed man who apparently didn’t like America, but was running for President? Our publisher back then was too smart to be played by LaRouche. As for me, I guess I wasn’t quite ready for the majors.
Note to this person: I saw some sign posts to a local long term incumbent Congress-critter, who has never faced an opponent that has escaped a percentage in the 20s. The answer is no.
But, Don’t forget to vote. We were… this close… to a massive Rachel Brown Landslide.
Schneider tried to take a photo of the volunteers but said they shied away from the camera. She wanted to circulate the photo via e-mail as a way of reminding people how important it is to vote. People like the volunteers, who are “on the lunatic fringe,†shouldn’t be allowed into a position of power to dictate to other people, she said. […]
Why the PAC volunteers chose Salem for their outreach last week remains a mystery. The Gazette’s calls to a phone number listed on the PAC pamphlet went unanswered, and there was no option to leave a message. According to the LaRouche PAC website, the number is for a local volunteer.
Also, they’re not John Birchers.
But they didn’t say anything outrageous, nothing I could disagree with as someone who voted against Bush*. But I was warned by those who knew more than I did that they’re also John Birchers.
Though, individual “supporters” might be.   I wouldn’t be surprised if the Alaska fellow was…
Also, if you watch that Donald Duck cartoon — Glenn Beck mash-up, you’ll know Mickey Mouse is… one of those Communists. They’re Everywhere, I says, EVERYWHERE.
And Conan O’brien isn’t comprable in any way. I don’t know… is this a reference to an idea of a “cult following”, or… perpetual candidacy?
In International News, CEC members jammed a showing of a Global Warming denial film back in 2007, or at least sprinked themselves into the audience.
The CEC was originally an electoral front for the Australian League of Rights (increasingly elderly “patriots†largely concerned with Holocaust denial and Jewish conspiracies), until it was stacked by local followers of Lyndon Larouche and disagreements over the status of the Queen (ALOR loved her, the Larouchites reckon she runs an international drug empire) forced a split.
Since then, the CEC has spent most of their time losing elections (badly) and raising money (and lots of it). […]
The ABC told Crikey that viewers who contacted the station to congratulate or complain in the lead-up to the airing of the documentary were invited to apply to participate in the studio audience. A balanced mix of believers and sceptics were then selected. The ABC estimates there were around five members of the CEC in the audience of 80.
According to the Larouchites, there were 18 — three of whom were kicked out prior to the show for being “potentially disruptiveâ€. Four of the remaining members asked questions.
It’s all about the Club for Rome! (Why a 2007 article popped up.)
In spite of doing quite a lot of searching, I couldn’t find anything substantial – whenever I compared what the “Limits†book says to what the critics claimed it said, I found myself concluding they either hadn’t read the book or were deliberately misrepresenting it. I bounced a few thoughts from time to time off my favourite tinfoil sounding board and got nothing credible back – in the end most of the theories seem to lead back to the Executive Intelligence Review (ie. the LaRouche organisation).
Monterery County Post Office Tour Stop! Monterey County REPRESENT!!!!!
Jobe Cowen and Stewart Battle stand near Obama posters adorned with Hitler mustaches in front of the Monterey post office.
“Are you ready to help dump Obama?!” one of them says to a couple walking by.
The two young men were campaigning for Summer Shields who is running for congress in San Fransisco and supported by Lyndon LaRouche. The pair had been out since 10am handing out papers and taking donations for Shields’ campaign. […]
People on both sides of their campaign spoke out in support of Cowen and Battle, or shouted negative remarks, but Cowen was not bothered by them.
“The Obama supports have weak arguements,” he says. “Things like, “Just give him more time,” but I just say we don’t have any more time.
Or maybe they have other arguments:
“You guys must have the brains of a frog,” said one woman. Another Monterey resident agreed.
“I would tell them to throw out their own trash, meaning the stuff they’re preaching.”
Don’t have a vote for Summer Shields. Do have a contact!
They are saying that BO is on depression medication. I had also read this on a blog. According to them, this is grounds to get him removed from office. It comes under Section 4 of the 25th amendment. I guess it comes under mental incompetentency ……like we didnt already know that. Anyway the rumor is, is BO is sinking fast and they want him out of power.
The LaRouchePAC.com is in charge of this. I have no idea if this is a reputable organization or not……….but I signed the petition.
He’ll find out soon enough if they’re a reputable organization. Or not. Well, he could check out wikipedia!
Kesha Rogers, meanwhile:Â Interesting. She just might get my vote… Will WIN!!!
If Cowen and Battle get sick a cold one day, they could hire a sub. I subbed to Larouche Youth a while ago, then ditched it.. I don’t really remember, he was a big fan of FDR or something, no? I got the vibe he didn’t know what freemason scum was walking around.

Yesterday, Thursday, I reported that the U.S. Congress, in a crucial vote, had failed to match my warning and had thus lost its battle to save the United States; it is now a likely, although not yet fully certain prospect, that that moral failure of the Congress, although allowed only by a scant majority in the U.S. Congress, has condemned our nation to an almost inevitable, early arrival in Hell. […]
It is now probable, although not yet inevitable, that the United States (and also all trans-Atlantic civilization) is about to be destroyed in a breakdown-crisis comparable to that of Europe’s Fourteenth Century. You can now thank both President Barack Obama and any political authority who supports the continuation of his visibly lunatic reign for that.
Dark Ages Coming. Make the best of it.
But first, Summer Shields invites everyone to…:
All patriots are welcome to join the campaign for an action orientated week of musical rallies, door-to-door organizing, educational workshops and more.

Does Summer know that “orientated” is the British usage? Gasp.
The American usage is “oriented.”
Well, that settles it, I guess. Summer Shields is a sleeper British agent.
Not the first time this has happened to the LaRouche movement (or ICLC)–heavens, almost all of their former leadership in Europe AND the U.S. turned out to be agents. Over a period of decades.
Agents of the KGB, MI5-/MI-6, the FBI….
Endless.
You would think that a man with a mind as razor sharp as LaRouche’s would have figured out that he was surrounded by enemy agents in the closest of his inner circles, for 40 years.
Heh.

We have a classic “Larouchie Wikipedia Team Tag Team” going on. (Appropriate enough, I suppose, in the reference to Rowdy Roddy Piper. And incidentally, I’m pretty sure that shows a violation of the Wikipedia Guideline with respect to “Battlefield”. Not that it matters — the countdown clock for another couple of sock puppet bans is ticking, and everyone watching these things knows it.)
The difference this time is that they’re floating about without any bother for psuedonyms.
Let’s follow this train of small changes backward.

Hm. Stay classy.
Its not rocket science to search “Will Beback” and find “Encyclopedia Dramatica.”
Looking at “Encyclopedia Dramatica”… What a website. They are apparently obsessed with concepts of homosexuality and Jewishness– and I get the feeling that the page is devoted to calling individual wikipedia editors Gay, Jewish, or Gay Jewish. In the comments section of that wiki page, we get the question “Is he one of those wikipedia jews?”
http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Wikipedia_Jews
Way to shed the image of the Larouche organization as anti-semitic!
Anyway. This comment is funny.

23:35, 9 October 2010 (diff | hist) Views of Lyndon LaRouche and the LaRouche movement ‎ (Undid revision 389774665 by Will Beback (talk) This is a perfectly neutral and factual edit. We must not be hostile towards Newbies.)
Right. “Newbie”.
Here’s the “chestnut” they have a hold of. Huge it Italy!
In 2008, ”Fenomeni e Fisica” (”Phenomena and Physics”) was published by the Italian publisher Minerva. It is a high-school level science textbook written by P. Marazzini, M.E. Bergamaschini, and L. Mazzoni, which includes a section on the “LaRouche-Riemann method,” contrasting LaRouche’s view of the non-entropic nature of human development to the pro-entropic view of the [[Club of Rome]]. The authors say that LaRouche emphasizes technological innovation and human creativity, contradicting a deterministic view of society and economics, but that he doesn’t clarify how these factors affect quality of life.
Surely the people who look up larouche on wikipedia on contact will take stock of that textbook, and realize the genius of the man.

What I find interesting is that L Ron Hubbard, the science fiction writer, started Scientology. Ayn Rand started a philosophy that was stillborn – to quote William Buckley. LaRouche was a joke in the 50s and remains a joke today. He should have taken a page from Hubbard or Rand if he wanted to make a buck out of his lunatic ideas.
Who was he a joke to in the 50s? His pool of Trotskyites?

Though an admitted flaming liberal, I do not want to hear political views from either side of the spectrum when at the library. I’m not a bartender with whom you can share your rants and raves. I’m just here to check in, check out and shelve your freaking books…and, of course, look down my nose at some of your putrid choices, but I never comment on them. I just say, “Hmmm, I know a lot of people like her.†Or “Interesting†without saying the rest of what I’m thinking: “Interesting that so many people like shit written by her. I don’t know why.â€
Anyway, this lady shares her opinions with me every time she comes to the library. Recently, she told me about a group of Lyndon LaRouche devotees who held a protest at the post office. Not only do they think that taxpayers shouldn’t be giving anything to the federal government, but also they think that our current president should be impeached. She naturally agreed with their point of view.
“Don’t you think the government has too much power?†She asked me.
All I could do was nod and say, “Hmmm, I know a lot of people think so.â€
“I can’t believe that man is still in the White House, can you?â€
“Hmmmm…interesting.â€

Stephen Colbert ends this piece on the Rich Iott story with the larouchie “Obama Hitler” image.
http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/361758/october-11-2010/rich-iott-wears-a-nazi-uniform
Yes, this has tended to aggrivate me.
Incidentally, Nate Silver at 538 had Iott at a “3 percent” chance of winning.
