Upon seeing this, which is someone posting at “amazonsellercommunity” forum the sidebar category “Larouche Corner”, I thought I may as well go ahead and break my “one month moratorium”. Also I need to make a mental note to change a few things with that. Originally, my thought was that that last internal demonstration spit out from the organization was that this thing was heading nowhere and could wait, added with other materials of interest, where I could pick back up with some added context on what, exactly, is developing within this flailing little organization.

As interesting as this all may be, where we see Lyndon Larouche adjusting to the fact the baby boomers in his NEC appear to have just walked out of the building and so he clings mightily to the Larouche Youth Movement he is trying to prime for their role in carrying on the faith past his death (and he should be able to die happy with that delusion, I suppose), and while one can dissect all of this any way one pleases — I note that there is no printing and the website malfunctioned last month… (yes, asking about why we can’t hand out literature so much is, how do I say, darkly amusing)…

I have a gut feeling the dozen dozen Larouche Youth Members and the dozen dozen fellow travellers are being readied for their college tour. And I have a further gut feeling that the focus is less likely to be on the Mortgage Crisis and Bear Stearns — while the economy is certainly affecting them by way of lack of immediate job prospects and adding to natural anxieties and furthering the destruction to student loans, they’re not losing their homes — and more onto what I spot as a decipherable shift of focus onto the evils of Barack Obama. More or less, Lyndon Larouche has concocted a storyline whereby he can situate him with the campaign of Hillary Clinton in saving civilization.

At first I would think that such a thing as the following could wait a month, one more item of manure onto a sewage pile that extends over four decades. News flash! Lyndon Larouche is Racist! Why — that’s the end of this man’s political career — never to be elected to anything! (Like so, the comment to the Washington Monthly article: “Next month — The Washington Monthly blows the lid off the Prohibition Party!”). But then there’s the title of that thread, “If You Have Teenagers, Watch Out for this Cult”. About the only power Larouche wields is that of inducing a handful, and mindful only a handful, of youngsters to join his fantasy world. I have seen Larouchies swivel around old quotations a bit, and something fresh with a more difficult job to hide behind “code words”, and right into its original context, probably would be beneficial.

Frankly, I am a bit surprised it took Dennis King a few days to post them up to his website. Anyway… um… what it is that is wrong with Barack Obama:

I mean: Obama is a racist. I mean, with an African father–he wasn’t much of an African father, but was an African father of Kenya. He was part of a British operation, which took over Kenya, through MI5’s operation. But this guy was away from Kenya, and he married a Margaret Mead type, a woman who had a number of successive husbands, like Margaret Mead did. Went out to the poor, brown people, in Asia, and had sex with them! It was called “Coming in Samoa.” [groans, laughter]
And she wore through a number of successive husbands, and by them, had various children. And therefore, 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.

So why are people sucked into this thing? And what’s wrong with the way we react to this phenomenon, as it affects the population in general? It’s not just Obama. Obama is a disease, but he’s not the infectious agent that caused the disease. He’s a product of the disease, not a cause of it. (April 13, 2008)

Alrighty then. I note a few things. Number one: Webster Tarpley has a new book out. I want to ask the question of why it is that past his life in the Larouche organization, and even assuming he maintains the basic ideological framework including his version of that dastardly British Empire which continues to orchestrate such things as 9/11 and perpetual economic collapses, why his line always seems to remain with Larouche’s — including its attendent contradictions and contrivancies. But whatever, the one thing you can say about Webster Tarpley: he’s not stupid enough to run through the problems with Obama’s ancestory.

Another thought: a while ago I noticed the presence of a Larouche disciple at the leading White Supremicist website forum for stormfront.com. His audience appeared to be a bit skeptical, and so he insisted they read the pamphlet “Christian Economics” which would show that Larouche had “love for the white man in spades.” If this fellow is reading this, perhaps he can profer this speech over there and garner his raising of funds or whatever.

I would sure like to know what series of editing attempts brought the following sentence into the wikipedia article on James Bevel:

James Bevel […] in order to get his ideas on education into the limelight, ran as the vice presidential candidate in 1992 on Lyndon LaRouche’s ticket.

Understand the relatively lack of imporatnce of the association with Larouche to James Bevel’s life story is shown in the AP article’s mention of his running mate status as the final paragraph, guaranteed to be cut off in just about every newspaper that picks the story up.  Whatever the back story of this association, the wikipedia sentence about “getting his ideas on education into the limelight” come across as a white-wash.  (Curious items?)

The sick joke comes with what his “ideas on education” apparently were, as evidenced in the Incest Trial.  Here are his “ideas on education”:

The woman said her family’s communal life included “meetings” and “informal classes” in which Bevel taught his philosophy of nonviolence and offered instruction on “overcoming shame and lust and guilt about sexuality.”

As a young girl, she said, “I did see my father have sex with my mom. My only thought was they looked like a cricket.”

Earlier, her mother, Helen Williams, said her former husband espoused a philosophy “that parents need to sexually orient their children.”

But, she said, when Bevel once suggested she have sex with their son, “I was shocked and repulsed by the idea.”

AND

The public defender told the jury to focus on the charge and not on other interactions Bevel had with Machado. Hoffman asked Bevel whether he had ever rubbed Machado’s chest — another allegation she has made but one that is not part of this criminal case.

“Yes, I have engaged in rubbing [her] chest in an educational context,” he said. Bevel testified that as a minister and a teacher, he has educated people, including his children, on the “science” of sex and marriage.

That “educational context” refers to Bevel’s views that sex should only be used to procreate, not in recreational, commercial or military ways. He referred to rape as “military sex.”

If Bevel’s scientific definition of marriage is carried out, each girl born should take on the roles of mother, daughter, sister and wife immediately, while each boy should take on the roles of father, son, brother and husband immediately, he said.

… Well, it is all about creating a Scientific Revolution, I suppose.

The formation of the LYM in 1999 was meant as Larouche’s survivng legacy in his quest for “Immortality”, at the expense of the baby boomers who made up his organization. For this purpose, a purge would have to be implemented sooner or later, moving his chess pieces around. Through the previous decade at least, the published propaganda rattled on — with increaing vehemence — about the problems and failures of the Baby-boomers, and hatred of the baby-boomers was to be the focal point of the ideology implanted on thenew LYM cadre of recruits.  The published hatred of the baby-boomers was a manifestation of much the same meant internally by the organization to its adherents, and specifically related to certain individuals.

Namely Kenneth Kronberg, who ran the printing operation and was loyal to a fault to Lyndon Larouche.  Getting rid of Kronberg would be to successfully dump onto his lap all financial debts incurred with PMR’s function as Larouche’s printing press — if at first at cost of operation than later at PMR’s expense, Kronberg becoming the useful scape-goat for the death of the organization’s ability to disseminate his propaganda through the printed page.  So on that fateful morning of April 11, 2007, the Daily Briefing ran off the problems of the “Baby Boomers” who if not ready to join the “real world”, should consider “virtual suiccide”, before singling out the Printing Press as the source of the organization’s troubles.  Seeing no escape, Ken Kronberg jumped off an overpass.

In the parlance of Larouchian terminology, “the real world” means working with full fervor for Larouche’s causes in conjunction with “Immortality” (his), and “virtual suicide” is the supposed worth of your life outside the organization, the promise from the man in charge that you will suffer a nervous breakdown outside his curiously crafted sense of a “comfort zone”.

Purges have happened before, and are necessary as a means of control and means of reinvention for an organization such as Larouche’s.  In a sense, the lifeblood of this type of organization is the management of the internal crises in purporting the crises outside the world.  But this was going to linger and deepen.  I cannot say how I would imagine Larouche could pull off his feat in moving his “Youth Movement” in taking over the organization from thebaby boomers, but I find it difficult to see him picturing this purge as happening in the manner it did.

The Memorial Service for Ken Kronberg proved to be a meeting ground where former and current members renewed connections.  Bridges were built, mainly bridges which could allow some members to walk out of the organization.  Over the next year, the specter of “outside projects” for a staff at the National Level not fully committed to Larouche’s project of (self) Immortality would loom and haunt the organization and his most loyal of loyalists.  Just as important, bridges of information were built that would allow the dissemination of what can be called “The Secrets of the Elites”.

In previous years, the necessary revision of history and tightening of conduits of information could be more successfully completed.  The problem for Larouche came in the form of the Internet, and a loose network of observers with varying levels of awareness of what is going on (IE: This blog and I are quite clearly trailing on that list — I not being a former or current member or long time researcher and professional expert on this topic), but at any rate apt to disseminate the contortions and non sequiturs Larouche’s organization was set to go through in their attempt to weasle around the issues.

When Lyndon Larouche’s organization finally came around to acknowledging the problems attendent with Ken Kronberg’s suicide, two things immediately floated in the air.  First, the urging of continuing the struggle for “Immortality” as Kronberg’s supposed dying legacy.  Second, Kronberg’s suicide was stated as his biggest mistake — in the ideology of the organization’s thought process means as much as anything else, that Kronberg’s suicide was Larouche’s biggest mistake — and biggest source of consternation.

Larouche was confronted with a twin set of problems, the problems specific to the two parts of his organization with the Baby Boomers and the Youth Movement. For the Baby Boomers, particularly in the National org in Leesburg, he had to simply move the baby boomers past Kronberg.  For the Youth, he had to simply innoculate them from the controversy completely, and to the extent that he needed to address it, tell a side of the story that would effectively leave it in the laps of the Baby Boomers and the Kronbergs.

To that latter end, the organization directly addressed the issue of various websites’ focus on Larouche, the “AFA funded” FACTNet board, “John Train’s salon” in Dennis King, and a “new blog by(a) Star Trek groupie and Robert Beltran stalker”. Recharged in earnest was a a full frontal assault on computer related culture — in the form of video games and myspace — as well as a demonization of the Internet tools of wikipedia and google (which had long been bugaloboos for the Larouche organization).  In the end, the measures culminated in the edict that banished the Larouche Youth Movement from visiting the Internet — and while I cannot say I  really know what the terms of this edict are, which in addition to dropping 80 daily hits from Nick Benton’s myspace site (and for all I know, this blog) served to isolate them from the fallout from the national organization, and anything not given to them by the organization.

The problem with the National org, meanwhile, was that it was full of individuals with a clear memory and level of affection toward the recently departed Kronberg.  Necessarily, the berating Ken Kronberg took prior to his suicide would have to be pushed aside.  The best Larouche could push for with Ken Kronberg — while maintained a failure to his cause, at least a loyal foot-soldier in the cause of (his) Immortality, and in that week delayed “open letter” to the widow Molly Kronberg, he threw in a clause meant to put her on warning.  Molly Kronberg was set to be, internally speaking at least, Enemy #1.  The coup de grace came when Larouche issued his “Final Word” on the subject by pointing to her couple of hundreds of dollars in donation to presidential campaign of George W Bush.  In an act of conscience which showed Larouche the uncomfortable level of dissension within the ranks, this factoid would be left off of its designated memo, forcing Larouche to issue the notice again.  The parallel tact was another act of revisionist history: change the subject completely.  So it was that the cause of the consternation and rambling within the organization was newly minted as the history – changing webcast where Larouche exposed the BAE Scandals, the historical mission and issue that the organization was now supposed to throw itself into for the Greater Good.  Anyone overly burdened and by the schism of this history changing event was instructed to a friendly chat with the resident house psychiatrist, Gerry Healy. (sic?)

Intruding into the attempt to completely change the subject was the hovering presence of Avi Klein, doing research for a piece for the liberal political magazine The Washington Monthly.  The Larouche organization did its customary act of shutting down any line of communication from them to him, and worked their way to the proper response.  Here they went to the go-to-line, which is to suggest that Avi Klein was a Mossad Agent.  After that, it was a task of placing the article into the larger context: this was a hit job for the “Vast Right Wing Conspiracy” to bring down the candidacy of Hillary Clinton, the “Vast Right Wing Conspiracy” having been a continuation of the “Get Larouche Task Force” of the 1980s that brought Larouche, and various associates, to prison.  It was a convoluted act of rationalization which could only be believable by delievers in Larouche, and increasingly not even to them.  One line did show the mindset of the organization in assessing what they needed to protect most of all.  Jeff Steinberg wrote that what these forces fear most of all was the implication of a growing Larouche Youth Movement that would survive and thrives past Lyndon Larouche’s demise.  Their focus was in incubating the LYM.  As an aside, the word “demise” seems a bit of a Freudian slip, Steinberg seems to be thought of as more or less planning a think tank to survive the death of Larouche, one that has no room for Lyndon Larouche.

Whatever else one can say about the proported “Vast Right Wing Conspiracy” outgrowth from the 1980s plot to bring down Larouche theory, it did dove-tail back to the emerging line against Molly Kronberg.  To get to that point, you had to leave aside that the Washington Monthly’s spot on the political map is roughly that of a sort of “Clintonistas in Exile”, and put aside that Kronberg was next seen lending an interview with Chip Berlet, who wrote some articles for High Times Magazine, a fact the Larouche Organization used in fund-raising from largely conservative Republicans in the 1980s.  Larouche unveiled his next line of attack against Molly Kronberg by revising the history of the court trials and the prison sentence of the 1980s.  Whereas the old storyline focused on the role of George Herbert Walker Bush, President of the United States and former CIA Head, in supposed railroading the crew of political prisoners, the new focus of “newly revealed information” swirled around Molly Kronberg’s acts of criminality and back-stabbing (one large part coming with Molly Kronberg’s attempt to keep Larouche from testifying in her trial).

At this point, Larouche and company were well aware of the shake-out in the org and the hollowing out at the national org, and so ran ahead of the matter as much as they could by issuing internal memos warning the faithful of the back-stabbing enemies in their midst.  This shake-out would reach a crescendo in March, when Larouche let out a bellow against the “stupid manpower shortage” he was seeing amongst his leadership, and the proliferation of “Outside Projects”.  He rolled back into his long standing attack on the baby-boomers, and in a published release on his website explain “one of the things I hate about my associates”.  Reportedly, and I have no way of confirming or denying such a statement, the NEC is now comprised of six people.  Lyndon Larouche has gotten his purge, whatever good that does him.   The prime directive of the NEC at this point has to be to direct and manage the Larouche Youth Movement, getting back to the task of making them feel as though they are World Historic Figures under Larouche’s own belief that hs is the World Historic Figure, in part by creating a sense amongst the “Youth” of feeling superior to an the generation that joined in the late 1960s and early 1970s.  The fight for Larouche’s immortality is one of stringing them along in training them that Conflict is more powerful than Love.

It appears that the central committee of Lyndon Larouche’s has collapsed.  It is difficult for me not to connect what appear to be rather massively sized dots (splots?) with one massively thick line.

I refer to those two internal daily briefings, one for March 10 and one for March 11, where Larouche complains about man-power shortage, people taking on “outside projects”, and the specter of Benedict Arnold under-mining the cult.  And I refer to a piece his propaganda mill published and spit out for March 25 where he, again, complained about his man-power shortage and his associates (whom he hates) taking on “outside projects”, something which has been reported as far back as last summer as happening but the tension of has finally appeared to snowball into something catastrophic.  This is one set of dots.

The other set of dots is comprised of the fact that the rss feed is spitting out a dramatically reduced number of items out at me.  Also in the sudden disappearance of “Jeff Steinberg’s Weekly Political Report” for two weeks.  And, for that matter, the publication of nothing over Easter weekend.  For a year I have been watching to see what functions flicker off and darken with the Larouche organization, seeing how it matches the somewhat bold explanation of the Washington Monthly’s promotional item for the Avi Klein article stating that “Ken Kronberg’s suicide marks the death of the Lyndon Larouche Movement.”  This is one of those functions which has eroded, and let it be said that it collapsed in March of 2008.  A dark age beckons, similar to the second Dark Age interval of — whatever years that is.

I begin to wonder about revenire’s appearance to steer us toward an Italian dignitary’s reference to a “New Bretton Woods”, and the various HBPA resolutions passed by various municipal and state governments — revenire appearing, oddly enough, March 11.

We are a week away from April 11, the one year anniversary of Kenneth Kronberg’s suicide.  Larouche’s belated self-serving response was a call to continue to pursue that magical “Immortality”.  The March 25th missive shows him returning to that self-serving phrase, “One of the things I hate about my associates” being that they are no longer working for his immortality.  If you read these dots right, mortal men and women are seemingly winding their way to a mixture of mortal pursuits and an entirely different and more sound version of whatever “Immortality” can possibly be, leaving the organization to the mortal task of duct-taping up and covering up this collapse.  How?  Rearrange the deck-chairs, I suppose.  They still have a core of someone in Leesburg, right?  Something is sputtering out of their rss feed, just not a whole heck of a lot.

The thing continues.  It lives.  Kind of.  The LYM are running around, however many of them there are, isolated from outside influence somewhat in cold storage, waging theatrical presentations where they don’t quite imitate Felix Royatin because they don’t really know what he looks like, or even quite know if he is a real person, and Michael Bloomberg — who they think is running for president.  Never peddling any printed material, there.  Larouche’s hope for “Immortality” lies with them, bridged together by what infrastructure, I cannot quite say.

There is not a whole lot to say about this. My main reoccuring Larouchie, you know — revenire — accused me within his last spell here of “admitting” to a “pornographic” interest in Larouche. Well, the man creates pornography, as you can see there. IBut it’s the perverted type of where you are left wondering what is wrong with the creator of the item. “Growing moss in their underpants”. The man should try his luck at creating the next “2 Girls, One Cup”. (Don’t google it, and no I have not watched it and don’t precisely know what it is, but its reputation preceeds itself. One more item for the “Anti-Internet Crusade”, I suppose, if he wants it — not without hypocrisy, though.)

Tavistock holds a special place in the conspiracy workings of Larouche, and at the time of this 2005 creation had re-asserted itself as a lean – against with regards to Jeremiah Duggan.

“Ma Crud” you can assume is a reference to Mark Rudd, and that should by any rights fly over the heads of the “LYM” golden children of the new reinvigorated Revolution. Not that it matters too much. I don’t think they have a full idea of the depths of the 1958 Recession either. And, you know, who the hell is Felix Royatin and can the LYMers really really explain what he is trying to do? We also have another one of those “species differentation” he is so fond of in the terms of how the Baby Boomers hate them. How does one split the human race into different species, excepting for classic racist ideologies which we tend to have gotten past, I can’t quite say.

A modest irony comes with the current line up for the Clintons and against Obama. The demographic clash in the voting has older voting for Clinton, younger voting for Obama. I have no interest in parcing out real world politics with regards to Larouche, but this does slide Larouche’s current treadmill cause for his supporters as his “Youth” fighting for the Baby-boomers against the non-initiated “youth”. I suppose you could slide Larouche’s cause as working for the “Lower 90 percent” due to the income demographic difference in the vote, but at this point you just get exhausted. The treadmill works for one popular cause with some supporters and some opponents and with the illusion of inside influence, there is nothing much more to say.

Then there is this interesting note of Kremlinology:

We have now completed two weeks without Jeff Steinberg’s Weekly Radio Report.

Hee hee hee hee hee hee hee. Oh, the plot thickens, don’t it?

De ja vu, bu then again everything has moved in concentric circles for four decades, and we have already formulated the basis of a Generational War going back to Plato and Aristotle.

Try this one, seemingly the organization is begging me to add to this running commenatary of mine:

For example. I am presently eighty-five years of age, and would be eighty-six in about another half-year to come. At this time, my passion for the future experience of our nation and of the world at large, is more intense, more impassioned than it has ever been before. The thing I hate the most among my associates, is either evidence of cheap ambition for personal gratification in the short term, or shirking needed commitments to more long-ranging goals, where their passion should be a gloating satisfaction in the benefits which none of us may live to experience, but which we are working to bring about. All really good individual persons, or groups of persons think like that; they think like persons who really know that they are immortal, and know that their future lies in the outcome of their devotion to the future of mankind.

The de ja vu comes with the three ingredients of the failure of the baby boomers in not holding up the banner of — um — this banner, the prime target of one Kronberg or another, and — if you will indulge me for the moment — the presence of a sort of blurred between figurative and literal metaphor of “suicide” as a means of domineering control, with the up-is-down down-is-up dichotomy of “the real world” and “the bridge jumpers brigade” — which one relies in the real world and which one doesn’t?

Cowardice, and related forms of personal moral corruption, among former associates, as exemplified by the case of the Molly Kronberg who, in 1989, went, like Benedict Arnold, out of corrupting fears under threats from government, over to the cause of civilization’s and our own association’s leading adversary, the British Empire, have taken their toll in such forms as virtual treason to that cause of our republic and humanity generally which we continue to serve.

Now we have reached the great historic hour of decision which I foretold nearly thirty-seven years ago. Never has there been a moment during that interval, when, except for the political or moral equivalent of victims of either sexual ejaculatio praecox or rage provoked by fears of sexual impotence, that that perspective I set forth between August and December 1971 not been the most crucial feature of the way in which history since that time has actually unfolded, up to the present moment.

It is important, especially for us, who remain troubled by the morally disappointing patterns of personal behavior among some former and some present colleagues, that we understand the deeper implications of the indicated pathological tendencies.

You got to hand it to the man.  He has his own sense of self-serving mythological destiny working for him, mentally if not physically in control of his own Fantasy Shadow Government.  He knows about being President.  Or something.  And he predicted the internal set of circumstances of 2008  in the year 1971, which I guess had to have been a year of momentous events of some amount of coercive consolidation.  See, the man is just like Jesus, well aware that Judas is going to sell him out.  I suppose.

Incidentally, I find this analysis from Dennis King pretty amusing:

It would appear from many articles by Greason and others over the past 20 years that the LaRouche movement in Australia is the most successful in the world. It controls the Citizens’ Electoral Council, a previously important far-right group, enjoys nebulous alliances with demagogic rural politicians, and raises money on a large scale from naive seniors without getting indicted. I suspect this success is partly the result of the local LaRouche network being farther away from Leesburg, Va. (LaRouche’s headquarters) than any other international LaRouche group–and hence being less under the sway of Der Abscheulicher‘s constant micromanagement (including his often-disastrous tactical directives).

I always thought the relative success of “the movement” in Australia had something intrinsically tied with Australia itself, but that would not make too much sense.  It beggars the sort of half-hearted analysis that Nazi Germany would have been better off had Hitler died somewhere in, say, 1940.

With the dying out of Lyn’s generation, the Baby Boomers lost all competence in science, because they were no longer under pressure from a rational population. Scientific discussion also died in our organization. Thus they have no conception of economy, and don’t believe in reality.
(From the Morning Briefing, March 11, 2008.)

It looks for all the world as though the Baby boomers are being tossed under the Bus, almost in a sort of “You can’t quit. You’re fired” kind of deal. I had thought that the Baby-boomer rhetoric had subsided, but it seems to be back in full force.

Anyway, the collapse of Bear Stearns and its government bail-out, I suppose, has to be viewed as one of those “History Changing Events” which sets up something like a 1,000 Year Dark Age that needs to be combatted. Similiar to the BAE Scandal, which as we all remember — changed EVERYTHING. The BAE Scandal was the reason everyone in the org was perturbed and a little shell-shocked in late April and May of 2007. The BAE Scandal. Right? RIGHT?

June 30, 2007: I think that Lyn’s message to everybody in light of the stunning events of the last week, is that people have to have a quiet, frank contemplation and recognize any impulses and tendencies to be driven by fear and to especially overcome any other forms of rage or other means by which people can tend to deny if they’re in a fearful state. Because the world has just changed in the
most dramatic and profound way, as the result of Lyn’s webcast on the June 21st, where he blew the lid on the BAE scandal and on Dick Cheney, and set about an absolutely dramatic change in every aspect of the global strategic situation.

One Thousand Year Epoch stops a few months in to to usher in a new one. “Lyndon Larouche has predicted 100 of the last two Recessions.” That’s a funny quotation, everyone ought to remember it for easy access. Hm. Remember the Great Depression which was set off with the stock market tumble in October of 1987? Maybe you lost gobs of money off it. Or maybe you managed to ride it out and regained more money. We all remember the effects were exactly like the Great Depression, just as prophesyzed before-hand, and just as cited after-ward. Except for, you know, the 30 percent unemployment rate lingering through a decade.

The crisis of October 1987 which I had forecast in June and later to occur in approximately October, happened exactly as I had forecast, expressed in a stock-market crash of 1929 characteristics and magnitude

It is interesting to sort out the references being made with this phrase, “The Jumper Brigade”. Obviously it is a bludgeon against Ken Kronberg as well Jeremiah Duggan, petty grievances when there’s a Thousand Year Dark Ages to stop. And it is an allusion to the Stock traders who lost everything in 1929. But beyond an insult at me, it looks more significantly as a shot in the dark toward the slice of baby-boomers in that strata of the cult referenced here, as… um… no longer really into this thing, and are “Joining the Bridge Jumper’s Brigade”, so to speak.:

A stupid manpower policy with the NEC and NC is key. How much work is each of the leadership doing each day? How many are on the job, versus how many away from work? There work is here! Why are they not on the job? The leadership required to run things is not on the job. Why not? They have jobs on the side! We have non-functioning leadership,–misleadership. The organization is slipping around with no leadership. NEC members attend a meeting from time to time, but they’re not out there working in the organization. The sales people are working without supervision and direction, so they tend to flounder into incompetent things with no idea, no clarity. The organization around the country is not as bad as it looks. How bad is it? It’s not really that bad, it just lacks effective leadership.

Another slash of Kremlinology. It is hard to shake the feeling that there has been a massive Document Dump onto Dennis King. Look around that conference table, and apparently you will find it sparsely attended. So, is the LYM ready for prime time?

In other items of interest, I half followed Phil Ossifur’s banishment from a forum devoted to Cryonics because “he seems to regard cryonics as sub-genre of Larouchian politics”. He left this post. Which, you know, reads as you might expect, except I miss references to the “Bridge Jumper’s Brigade”.

Oh. By the way. Famed Sex columnist Dan Savage. But just skip to the final post.

A few years ago some LaRouche supporters got the 89 year old mother of a friend of mine to write the 11 checks for $5000.00 each in the space of a week. She had that much money available in order to pay her home-health care workers. When questioned by her daughter she told her that they had said the money was for national defense and she would be helping the president. Any group that uses lies to prey upon the gullibility of the elderly is in no way legitimate.

Which puts his concern over corruption and greed in our financial institutes, and the short term thinking that goes into creating the exploitable problems, into a correct perspective, methinks.

So, have you read the 19 posts on the blog “The X Spot” regarding “Bormann’s Ghost”, as strung together here?

Conspiracy theories of the sort posted on February 25 are tricky affairs — start with two unexplained “huh?”s from two different areas, likely never explainable, and see if they fit.  Which is why I have to think long and hard about the post of February 25, and a comment made later on by this blogger in the March 7 comments qualifies this post — whatever happened with that one, we do at least have the connections with neo-Nazis, and indeed that seems to have been the global role Mr. Marcus had played in the past few decades (re, for instance the NY Times article from 1991 I posted in the comments here a few days ago).  It is an interesting arena to think about, and as he states, what other possibilities are there?

Maybe I’ll post some more things here … later…

To counteract revinire’s love-affair with posting Larouche’s latest screed about this Year’s Economic Meltdown (annual tradition since 1958) — which I may just edit down to a handy link to clear the clutter–, I offer this up, my own cut and paste job, whereabouts obvious. (Mind you, I can’t say that the immediate economic outlook is terribly good.  But the reality is that there are always economic insecurities, even in relatively good times, for demagogues of various stripes, such as a cult leader here or there, to exploit.)

But, enter Eaglebreak: ……………..

You will recall that a few days ago, I posted the Jeff Steinberg Saturday morning National Office riff that appeared in the Morning Briefing of Sunday, March 9, and you will recall that somewhere in that dense thicket, there was the standard Lyn-attacks-the-Baby-Boomers followed by the announcement that “LYM Editorial” and “LYM Warroom” would be moved closer to The Residence (as Lyn sometimes likes to call it) at Windy Hill, to get the LYMers away from the influence of Boomer members.

What appears below is the followup, in the Morning Briefing of March, where Lyndon lays out his “thinking” on this policy, and in passing lets the NEC have it.

The briefing writers that day were William F. Wertz and David Cherry.

TIME TO SHAPE UP!
by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.
March 9, 2008

Since nearly every NEC member but Gerry Rose and I, and also relevant others [there are only six NEC members left, so if you count the “relevant others,” who else is there?], have been tied up with time-consuming personal or similar distractions from their managerial responsibilities in the Leesburg National Center, and since, also, the Jersey region [duck, Dennis, here it comes again] and some other places are not reacting to the real-world crisis engulfing the actual world in which we are actually living, it was urgent that I intervene to make a declaration of a moratorium on such negligent behavior.

We have just recently taken an action, on my personal initiative and responsibility, which has served as a contribution to the possibility of preventing our immediately imperilled nation from plunging immediately, this current month so far [eh?], into an (sic) calculably (sic) impossible existential situation. The behavior, especially of the relevant boomers, in the national office, the Jersey office, and elsewhere, is that of people who are fleeing from the immediate reality of the situation presented though them as the threat to our nation and also to ourselves. People who seem to be fleeing from a manageable, if threatening situation, into a personal niche in which the prospect for their personal future is hopeless under the kind of stubborn indifference to leadership responsibilities which I have assessed in the circle around me this past week or so. [Why were they fleeing again?]
—————————————————————————————-
As August 15, 1971 had approached [don’t you just love his verb tenses?], I was operating on a now memorable long-range forecast, stated first at the beginning of the 1960s, in which I had warned, repeatedly, over a decade, that unless certain changes in current economic-policy-shaping trends were corrected, the U.S. economy would enter a crisis-phase during some part of the second half of the 1960s, and the threat of a breakdown of the present world monetary system by near the close of that decade. This warning was spread in and around our political association and its activities during the interval 1966-1971; my standing long-range forecast was fully confirmed, contrary to the outlook expressed by every known relevant other economist on July 15-16 (sic), 1971.

At that latter juncture, I uttered a report which forecast that the mid-August action of the Nixon Administration now threatened the U.S.A. and more with a takeover by fascism as the meaning of that term “fascism” had been established by the record of the Mussolini and Hitler governments. The same type of threat of fascism, is threatening, as from fascist Felix Rohatyn, to take over the Democratic Party and other relevant institutions.

During the ten years beginning with that forecast of August 30 (sic), 1971, the U.S. economy was wrecked, first, chiefly, by the monetary policies of the Nixon Administration and, secondly, by the thorough wrecking of the internal structure of the U.S. economy, by the Trilateral Commission, under President Carter, during 1977-1981. The crisis of October 1987 which I had forecast in June and later to occur in approximately October, happened exactly as I had forecast, expressed in a stock-market crash of 1929 characteristics and magnitude [nope].

Shortly after that, the collapse of the Soviet system, which I had forecast, in February 1983 as likely for “about five years ahead” [he didn’t forecast any such thing], happened. That general forecast from 1983 had been supplemented, in a forecast from Berlin, on October 12, 1988, stating that the world was on the verge of a general collapse of the Soviet economic system which was to be expected to begin its eruption in Poland during the period immediately ahead.

My presentation of the “Triple Curve” forecast [not a forecast] as the galion-figure of the launching of my 1996 campaign for the Democratic Party Presidential nomination, has now been borne out fully, in the present hyperinflationary world crisis, in the terms I forewarned, not only for the U.S.A., but for the world at large. The inflationary breakdown-crisis of the trans-Atlantic segment of the world’s present monetary-financial system has so far evolved exactly as I had forewarned.

Also notable, is the fact that the current U.S. Presidential-nominations campaign has followed exactly the guidelines (sic) I had specified.

On these, and related accounts, our association is a most remarkable success in its avowed mission. Unfortunately, alien influences seizing the gutter of the “Baby Boomer” section of the membership of our association, have tended more and more to act as professional losers, but [but?] have done so in explicit hostility to those policies of mine which have been at the center of all those stated and related successes, in the choices of outlook and methods which I have defined for our association.

Nancy Spannaus should produce that record, immediately. [Ouch.]

Now, when the fate of this nation depends upon the factor my leading role represents, why are so many among the leaders of the association fleeing from their executive responsibilities? I do understand the motive for that foolish behavior among us; but that is no excuse for failing to impel the nominal leaders of this association to get back on the job, raising the funds needed to meet the obligations of our association, not only what they might perceive as their own [swipe at various NEC members who are trying to cope with difficult personal and family situations]. Some veterans among us ought to be ashamed of themselves, if that sense of shame prompts them to remedy the reckless behavior seen over, especially, the course of recent months.

Our role in service to this nation, and its future, is now of crucial importance to not only our republic, but other parts of the world. This is a situation tantamount to war [isn’t it always?]; no personal considerations are moral [the biggest of the Big Lies], if they represent flight from duty on front-line matters of the association itself on this account. Large issues must not be neglected for the sake of the pettiness expressed by some small minds in Leesburg and other locations which I could name.

[Notice he signed it twice? Now that’s narcissism.]

Comments:

Two things occur to me.

1. The NEC is “failing” Lyn because now even they find themselves compelled to take care of personal matters—parents, relatives, deaths and illness, old age—and so can’t dance attendance on Lyn the way they did in those faraway days of their youth. That’s why he thunders against “personal considerations”—they’re deserting him for moral obligations he cannot begin to understand.
2. Moving the LYM out of Leesburg nearer to Windy Hill might just be the beginning of the Kool-Aid phase. If I were a LYM member, I’d want to think long and hard about that.

Or maybe it’s the oldsters who will be invited to get out of the way. Lyn makes Richard Lamm look like a teddy bear. And he makes King Lear look like Solon.

Appropo of next to nothing, revenire charged out with this:

Ban me… I know a teeny weeny bit about IP etc. 

Hm.  Perhaps it was a mistake to indulge him and plead for a generic sense of “etiquette”.  An Internet troll will take this as a sense as a weakness for the silly games they play.  Does revenire have anything to say about Wyoming or squares, and the relation between Wyoming and Squares?  No.  He does not seem to.  Hence my problem with him.  I may indeed “do something about that” after all.  Ideally I would reconfigure the comments section of my blog such that revenire’s comments not posted to the Larouche category would go in to the “Approve / Disapprove” channel, to be judged on a simple matter of relevancy — Larouche topics going through automatically.  (Isn’t Larouche fixated on Squares, and makes a Calculus problem with them a matter of Gnostic meaning?)  I don’t think I get that specific, though.  As it is set right now, everyone’s first comment goes through that channel, and I approve them, and their comments go through automatically from then on out.   I will look into it, I suppose.  In the meantime, I plan on posting about my desire to Square off Wyoming again shortly, so Revenire will have another crack at that.

Appropo of… nothing… revenire chimed in with:

Or, better yet, call the cops.

This came out of nowhere.  In this light, I do reserve the right to call the authorities if and when I see revenire engage in illegal activities.  But I have yet to see such a thing, so I’m just left scratching my head at this one.  Not having seen such, I do not know what he is referring to, so I will just have to ask: Is there something in your conscience that is bothering you, revenire?

And appropo of revenire’s state of being, we get… this:

For all I care you can jump off a bridge.

Go ahead, jump… because you’re a nothing and the rest of your soap opera characters are empty husks… dead souls.

Interesting.  This appears to be second nature.  Is this a greeting amongst Larouchies?

“Hey!  Have you killed yourself today?”

“No.  Not yet.  Got a deployment to the college campus.  Have one of those “Renaissances” to ignite.  Hoo Hoo!  Kill me.”

Nay.  revenire is mocking the death of Ken Kronberg, who as we all well know, jumped off a bridge to his death — on the day that the Dcaily Memo mentioned the advisibility of suicide before unleashing a broadside against his Printing Press as the reason for the problems of the organization.  Actually he also may well toss in that he is mocking Jeremiah Duggan here, who I am lax on mentioning so I suppose revenire does a service by reminding me about him.  Anyway, whatever the circumstances that lead to his death — in that remote conference in Germany — German officials did rule it a suicide.  So, he’s mocking two deaths.

Or I could count this as the knife’s edge within that which we call “ego-stripping”.  Not so much a concerted effort here, but a frame of mind, boiling down to a litany of largely incomprehensible insults.  Case in point, his willful reading incomprehension of my innocuous anecdote about confusion over Sputnik and the city of Krasnoyarsk.  I puzzled over his reaction to that, and just threw my hands up in the air and submitted the question of “What is revenire’s problem” to FACTNet.  The answer to the inability to abide by a simple personal anecdote lies in the individuality of such … to be assimilated in the Borg, those concepts of human experiences need to be scuttled.  Mind you, this isn’t a thought through process, just a state of flinging crud.

But revenire:  If your come on during your career as perennial political candidate included “I don’t care if you kill yourself” — no wonder you didn’t much crack a couple percentage points.  Then again, garnering votes is never the purpose of a Larouche themed electoral campaign.  So, if it’s a part of the pitch to join the LYM — no wonder the numbers in that organization are dwindling.
