Rubber-necking some audacious fools in a boiler room in Loudon

Sunday, March 9th, 2008

I gather that Larouchies are sourering and re-scourering this blog of mine for various bits of Intelligence, clues of various items into the workings of their enemies, and contrived controversies of a supposed “Get Larouche Task Force”.  What else do I make of this comment, on this long past post of mine:

I do believe that Mr. Benton is correct in his statements against Dennis King. The materials in question do seem to originate from him and I honestly believe that his meal ticket does not have any more punches left for him to use. Dennis you should be ashamed and I don’t thing you should be bringing Erika Duggan in to this. Own up and deal with it!

Understand, the edict has been passed down to the LYM to get off the Internet — the explicit finale of what was implicit in the demagouging of various real and imagined concerns over the Internet.  Without ever having read “The Devil in Your Laptop” (I would need a physical copy.  For reasons clear to you if you’ve followed this, they don’t leave around physical copies of these things anymore.  Which makes them an Internet-hating cult that relies on the Internet), I can tell you that it concerns itself with how the British Empire, together with International Jewish Banking interests, have conspired to brainwash the Youth through the Internet, video games, and computer technology.

Thus, “Rubber necking” Larouchies online means that you are “rubber necking” their central committee.  Absurd as that sounds.

But this comment is rather audacious — it takes even more galls to get to this line than the lines proferred in the arguments in the “Comments” fight on the wikipedia entry on Kenneth Kronberg.  Nick Benton’s phrase does not literally mean what our Larouchian suggests it means, that this “originated with Dennis King”.  Benton’s gripe concerns matters of presentation — King originally presented this with a more bombastic headline than was strictly necessary.  His original problem was in imagining a “Baby Boomer Purge”.  This is a tricky term, because, strictly speaking, Larouche would have preferred Ken Kronberg remain ALIVE.  Demoralized and at the breaking point, but a useful scape-goat to the cult’s financial and recruiting troubles, as well always present though likely just out of reach legal problems, which is a better fit then their current square-block in a round hole spot of him as Martyr to the Cause.  Dennis King has stylistically changed some things, not least of which the address to his website.

Beyond that, Nick Benton can speak for himself, and has.  But at the end of the day, dear larouchie, you must understand that he regards Larouche as even more irrelevant and worthy of less time and space than King does, which is roughly where the “Meal Ticket” line comes in.  If the “last punch” of the ticket is being pushed, you realize that is a result of the decline and dwindle of your cult more so than anything else.  An ex-member of a cult can decide to what degree to linger over their unpleasant past.

Which brings us back to THIS.  Yes.  That.  An item which ORIGINATED IN THE BOILER ROOM IN LOUDON.  Not an order to suicide, but — as the Larouche media mill pumped out in demagouging that tragic story of those two wicked parents who thought it funny to create a fictional boyfriend for their 13 year old daughter’s former friend, only to have him dump her and suggest she kill herself — words have meaning, emotions have meaning…

If you desire me to further decrease my distance to King in that daily memo, I could go ahead and cut and paste this item and post it here?  And here’s Nick Benton’s original story for you!  What the hey.  It predates King’s posting of the document, King not being the official or only purveyor of meaning of the document — Benton’s point — nor originator of said — Larouchie commenter’s stupid bluff.  I do not, however, remember whether it was buoyed about on FACTNet before its printing.

Something only a handful of people could give two rips about.

I really ought to key the name “Jeff Steinberg”.  It gets me odd little chestnuts, such as this one:

Transcription form Iranian television, January 8, regarding the Iranian – warship incident.

[Correspondent] Political analysts say the US approach is in line with Washington’s policy of confrontation with Tehran.

[Senior editor, Executive Intelligence Review, Jeff Steinberg] Many people in the US military who oppose military confrontation with Iran are very worried about the possibility of a minor incident in the Strait of Hormuz and the Persian Gulf, being the pretext that Cheney and company would use for a confrontation.

[Video shows an archive video of George Bush speaking]

[Correspondent] The incident comes days ahead of US President George Bush‘s visit to the Middle East. The trip analysts say is meant to confront Iran’s growing influence in the region by portraying it as a threat to regional states.
………………………

For good or bad, or for good and bad, and whatever merits and detriments this particular bit of Kremlinology holds, I can not help but view a mash of the output of Larouchian crap in terms of some Jeff Steinberg versus Helga Zepp Larouche dichotomy for Secession.  But I come to the conclusion at a certain point, I gather, that Steinberg is just as well looking past Larouche — that the “Political Intelligence” digests that have been popping up in the Larouche rss feed look suspiciously like a product that he can just move out from under the umbrella of Larouche and position into another corner of Political fringedom — see Webster Tarpley on his “9/11 Truth Movement” antics for fun and profit as a model — or Robert Dreyfuss — and read that spot on Iranian television and ask if he needs to be identified with Larouche.

But this game risks that of becoming an endless feedback loop.  Yesterday, flashing before me, I saw an item proclaiming that “Larouche Watchers” were “Stunned” by the appearance of “Helga Zepp” in a French magazine, and directing us all to the usenet forum “Alt. conspiracy-theory-watch”, where we have a string of commenters observing that… Helga Zepp made an appearance in Le Monde… and that shows those Usenet posting Larouche Watchers, don’t it!

Or… score one for the ascension of Helga?

So, I gather Steinberg is in the end counterproductive to post-Lyndon plans, and the need for a continually regenerating group of followers who will continue to chant his name from now through Eternity — but Helga — whatever her role is precisely — is probably essential.  She would at least keep the name “Larouche” center stage, not wandering out of the central fissure of Personality.

The problem, as constructed right now, falls out of the two gambits… #1, best expressed in the continual presidential bid from 1974 through 2004, as well various urgencies to stick him in charge of supposed crises through advisory roles, where his Cult pushes him to to be in charge of Re-Ordering the World.  #2:  He already is conferring with power players, his “proposals” being debated amongst them, thwarted by British and International Jewish Bankers (by as assortment of names), whose order is what he wants to replace with his World Order.  Either way, the fight requires him to be ALIVE.

I guess this means that what Lyndon needs now is to set up something whereby his advocates are promoting and pursuing “Larouche Principals” behind the scenes to World Elites.  This may be the reason behind the sudden spurt of pounding the need to “Get to the Original Source” (and if they simply mean “primary source”, as you learn all through K-12 education, why wouldn’t you just say so?) — beyond the clear requirement to knock down wikipedia.  Actually, this almost seems to be the only driving force for the “Larouche Youth Movement” upon its inception — to learn that principle.

Dennis King, at Factnet, had the more conscientious question of what happens to the Larouche Youth Movement (I gather specifically referring to members) upon Larouche’s death, under the supposition that the Movement itself is dead anyway, whatever Larouche has in mind to set up for after his death is not working out correctly.  Chicken with head cut off, I guess that’s time for a bit of a psychological break (and note that I am not using the word “psychotic”) amongst the… are we down to about a dozen dozen members?

Well, it falls into line with the popular cultural look at Larouche still, so I’m still in the clear.  Perenial nutcase presidential candidate, “Queen of England”, and #1: how does a Personality Cult set itself up to survive the death of its Personality?  and #2: How do the members of the personality cult set themselves up to survive the death of their Personality?

One Month has passed since…

Tuesday, February 26th, 2008

It has been a full months since I have made a comment about your friend and mine, Mr. Lyndon Larouche — the essentially irrelevant but still fascinating little man. I have meant to do so, but then thought a month would make a good interval right about now. (Though, now I probably will have to scan back to see if I find anything. The essay which suggests that hyper-linking is a sign of cultural decline entitled “The Noun Generation” promises hilarity.)

I did make one brief mention, and when I do that I always refer to “Landon LaRoach” as a means of not drawing unnecessary attention. But that is just a quirk I’ve picked here, only mildly interesting, I assume.

In the back of my mind, I have had the thought that the anniversary of the death of Kenneth Kronberg will have the folks in the boiler room in Loudon churning something out. Sure enough, I see that “eaglrbreak” addresses this matter on factnet — and thus this item of importance to add to whatever collection of documents you might be compiling…

….

Message date: 4/19/07

Dear Lyn,

I am writing to beseech you to break your silence on the
death of Ken Kronberg, and say something that recognizes
Ken’s extraordinary worth as a human being. Indeed, he was
one of the finest men I have ever known. My [spouse] and
I long looked to him, as to Graham, as a mentor, a
beacon of dedication and intellectual integrity, and a
friend. Whatever errors in judgment he may have made,
especially in recent years–and who among us has not made
mistakes?–have to be considered within the context of Ken’s
life as a totality.

If you have reason not to make a public statement, then
I plead with you at least to send Molly and Max a private
message of condolence. Whatever one thinks of Molly
personally and politically, one can still give
Ken’s family support and encouragement at this time of
searing grief.

With best regards,
NAME WITHHELD

My stated policy is the only acceptable policy
at this time. The reasons for this are known
to Nany (sic) and Molly, in addition to a handful of
relevant others. It is the only correct policy.

I am reasonably certain that you have no
understanding of what the considerations actually
are; but, sometimes that is both the knowledge
and responsibility that responsible persons
involved must bear.

The British… Now that I just scanned the whole mass of “Thread #4”, I see a comment to the blaming Larouche’s Britain – obsession on That Worldy Affair his first wife had — details I am barely interested in.

As non-sensical as the Larouche literature becomes as it passes its surface issues and causes of some popular use, it is explainable — in terms of what if not exactly why — in a certain light. To address the lasting stray points which stick with me (most just dissolve on impact) made by various Larouchite commenters here, there, and elsewhere — and for that matter popular conceptions of those that are not Larouchites and peering into this corridor — [a comment made somewhere off a blog entry on Larouche asking “Have you ever actually read one of those pamphlets? It’s basically the Protocols of the Elders of Zion” … hm. Maybe. Not quite. Source material is shared, I suppose.)

The matter is that all things British (and British is the source of all Evils) = codeword for Jew. Hogwash, the Larouchites will say. Sure. I can take this one at his word. British equals British. So Larouche’s propaganda, or worldview, places at its centerpiece strong denunciations of the British Empire. Leave the codewords to actual code words, your Locust Funds and your Synarchists. Granted, the Synarchists appear to be joined at the hip with the British Empire, but at this point –

Codewords? What codewords? Who said anything about Codewords? British = British!!

It is hereabouts the commentor at “Stormfront”, joining the great battle against the British, at “Stormfront” can chime in to proclaim that Larouche has “Love for the White Race in Spades”. (Which, without reading any part of it, tells you all you need to know about the book he was offering to the other “Storm-front”ers by Larouche on “Christian Economy”.)

I was reading an unremarkable book about the American government’s war planning and manuevering in the years prior to Pearl Harbor — recommending only in as much as it is an important piece of history to grip onto. The name Beaverbrook was mentioned one time during the 300 pages — from the vantage point of American pre-war preparedness against Nazi Germany — and in salvaging the decimated Great Britain, not particularly important. From a different place, I assume Lord Beaverbrook has somethin — how much more important, I do not know. In the vantage point of Larouchian history, a figure worthy enough to have in your cut-and-paste file — though, I have always assumed it was for the crude sexual reference. But, you know, he was a figure in the British War Effort and… all that…

So, anyway, Hitler’s propaganda was focused on the evils of a plot with Industrial Bankers and that British Empire (which he as in the process of destroying, and was also the only European power that was holding its fort down against the German War Machine). To what end does this bring Larouche, I can always only offer up the “What” — the “Why” always strikes me as kind of … elusive. I would have to parce out lines of Fantasy lives to get to that.

Anyway… Of interest, a subtle jab at my point, a press conference held by various Members of Congress (set up by Alcee Hastings of Flordia) and, question asked to a reporter for The Economist — Edward Lucas — on February 20:

MARINO: Hi, Mr. Lucas. I’m Paul Marino with EIR News. I’d like to ask you why should the United States restart the Cold War with Russia? I think it’s very dangerous to do that. Remember, Putin has offered us an updated version of Reagan’s SDI. He’s also offered us some interesting
nation building projects in the Bering Straits. With all their internal problems, we have something that’s verysimilar. We have very similar strategic interests. So why should we begin another confrontation and encirclement with Russia, because, Mr. Lucas, most Americans remember how World War I and World War II were started by the British Empire, and we don’t want to…

LUCAS: Sir, are you from EIR? Is that Mr. LaRouche’s paper?
MARINO: That’s what I said when I introduced myself.
LUCAS: I thought…

3 Cults

Saturday, January 26th, 2008

Well, Factnet has changed things for their forums, and I have to pick up things right about here.  For those of you paying attention.  I will have to alter my sidebar accordingly.

A few days’ ago, I saw three Scientologists taking down their platform for the day.  Funny, from a distance I thought I was looking at 3 LYMers.  But, no, they had a “Free Stress Test” and a load of L Ron Hubbard materials.  I had thought that one of the three wasn’t related to the organization — seemed to be somehow coming from the outside — but on closer inspection, he had three L Ron Hubbard books in tow.

The thought popped into my mind:  TURF WAR!  There is limited retail space, after all.

Or, maybe the Larouchies and the Scientologists can have a meeting of the mind.  Merge, damneditall.  Clear the Engrams out of Samuel Clemens.  Xenu was the Ultimate Synarchist.  Surely this and this are not mutually exclusive.

Jeff Steinberg, take note.  Jeff Steinberg who has curiously inserted a “Jeff Steinberg Report” briefing into the daily Larouche tipping.  Interesting for Sovietology purposes, make of that what you will.  But to survive the “demise” of the current leader, maybe a merger with Scientology can be done.

With concerns to our current economic downturn, and the gloom we are all facing — OHMIGOD!  Lyndon Larouche is Right!  He’s forecast this disaster since 1958!  I must find a way to become an Authority on the Mind —

— If I pay the Estate of L Ron Hubbard up front enough, can I get to the Bridge Level that Tom Cruise is at… instantaneously?  Or maybe Larouche can offer a bargain basement price for that honor.

Then again, keeping up appearances, we see that Larouche is giving the shaft to Fred Newman and Leonora Fulani.   Except for some reason, the name Fred Newman is dropped outof the equation.  Maybe they look down on him.  After all, some edictorial cues from this piece — filtering through some history of the current obsession of Michael Bloomberg — come from hereabouts (ie: “Fulani Independent“) and down the right hand side of this page.  The URL doesn’t even acknowledge Newman and Fulani as a subject matter.   Surely “EIR” rolled past Dennis King in their rolodex in finding quotes regarding Fulani?

Here, I guess, is the Village Voice article referenced.

Ah well.  Nobody is paying close attention.  And Michael Bloomberg isn’t running for anything.  The Larouchies will have to move on to something else.  Or maybe they won’t — I don’t pass the mustard as an expert on this, as revenire pointed out to my relief.  Still, if a Larouchie wants to pause and reflect on these news items they’re reading — they could go find more information at this page.  It’s following the Larouche line on that score, at least.

Because the World is demanding… The Apostle’s Creed, of sorts

Thursday, January 17th, 2008

I suppose any number of people will pop by and think the sarcastic “Wow! News Flash! Larouche is Insane! Again!”.  Also … you know… irrelevant to the day to day operation of everybody except the, um, 80 cult members and times a few former cult members.  I also suppose that the 80 cult members ordered off the Internet after following a handful of websites are… well, probably still around, I suspect. But, you know, I think there is something in the following about meme production in running such an operation.

For more tan thousands of years, from the rise of Sumer, a colony of Dravidian India, which spoke Dravidian, not a Semitic language, through the Semitic empires of Mesopotamia, and Canaan, the Middle East had become the cockpit of the greatest evil the planet had known, perhaps even to the present day. It wasn’t as well known as the modern versions of evil, but it was evil: so evil that it seemed the human species had no chance, as long as this evil existed.

All so very brilliant, in it’s way. But does it mean anything? You can be excused for shrugging it off, assuming he’s referring to the Jews, and walking away to engage in something more productive — staring blankly at a White Wall for a couple of hours, for instance, or — um — opening up a myspace account? But. Evil. A different variety of Evil than the one we know today, a more potent type of evil, yet… somehow… obscure evil. Okay. Gotcha!

The points of resistance were northern Egypt and Greece. Northern Egypt, or forces in Northern Egypt, collaborated with forces in Greece which we call republicans. The forces in Greece associated with the Ionian city-state republics, associated with Solon of Athens, associated with Plato, and Socrates; notably: These are the forces of civilization; these are the forces that gave us the first step to an alternative to Mesopotamian imperialism, the Mesopotamian oligarchical culture.

The syntax is kind of funky. Maybe this might be acceptable if this were a transcript of words spoken. For a moment I thought that the “first step to an alternative to Mesopotamian Imperialism” — need I say that this was Evil — is “the Mesopotamian Oligarchical Culture”. Surely this cannot be. Oligarchy is a 4-letter word, after all.

Everything we’ve achieved on this planet, in terms of better conditions of life, political freedom, freedom from insanity for the human species throughout the the planet, is derived, directly or indirectly, from the success of what was begun in collaboration of certain Egyptians, and certain Greeks, the Greeks identified with the Ionian city-state republics, with Solon of Athens, Plato, Socrates, and so forth.

But this didn’t work, this great republican scheme. It didn’t work because of democracy, like a kind of democracy, like Project Democracy, a democracy represented by those who indicted and committed judicial murder of Socrates. Those democrats who called themselves the Democratic Party of Athens, were actually Persian Agents, or Magi agents. This failure to understand how to deal with democracy, this weakness, doomed Greece. Conquered by Macedonia, the Greeks struck back, the friends of Socrates and Plato struck back, through Alexander the Great. Alexander was destroyed, and {Plato struck back, through Alexander the Great. Alexander was destroyed, and the great idea remained, but it was unsuccessful, until Christianity.

Okay, it is here that we find our Cult Leader discussing his prison sentence, railing against those who “committed judicial murder” not so much of Socrates as of SocRouche. The Persian Agents and the Magi Agents, who we can now sort of update here in the year 2008 as not even so much being George Herbert Walker Bush as of being Molly Kronberg.

The de facto conversion of Socrates posthumously to Christianity, by Christianity, the adoption of Plato, the recruitment of Plato to Christianity, a conversion of Plato to Christianity posthumously, effected by the Christian church, revived and made possible the success of all that was good in the Greek republican idea. And, this led to the emergence of European republican Christian culture.

Wait. Defacto conversion of Socrates posthumously to Christianity? Also Plato? Do they know they now accept Jesus Christ as their personal savior? Did somebody exhume them and baptize them?

But it wasn’t that simple. Because the enemy of this Christian tendency was pagan Imperial Rome, the tradition of Tiberius, and Augustus before Tiberius: of Nero; of Diocletian; of Julian the Apostate, and so forth. The tradition of the Third Roman Empire, people who believed in a Third Roman Empire, who believed that Christianity, the God of Moses, again a reflection of the Egyptian – Greek fight against the evil Mesopotamian gods in those cultures, the Mesopotamian Pantheon, of Beelzebub and similar people: the Mosaic God is also the Christian God.

I can’t quite tell what is going on here. Little help? Something about good Jews and Bad Jews, the former conveniently don’t exist, and the latter all literally personifying Beelzebub?

The anti-Christians, those who believed in Pagan Rome, from then to the present day, fought to exterminate Christianity and to exterminate those aspects of Judaism which were Mosaic, and thus linked, as the same thing as Christianity, in the eyes of these fellows.

That war goes on. Bolshevism and fascism, or communism, and so forth; many socialist parts in the Socialist movement generally, and all parts of this Paganist movement against Christianity, such that if Christianity today were to be suppressed globally, or suppressed in the places where it has been dominant, it is probable that the human race would go under pagan Roman influence, called fascism, sometimes called Bolshevism, the New Age: the rock-drug-sex-neo-ecologist culture, the Gaia worshipers, similar scoundrels. That’s the end of the human race.

Bolshevism = Fascism = Communism = So forth = many socialist parts of the Socialist Movement (and not = other socialist parts of the Socialist Movement, and feel free to explicate which parts belong to which category) = all parts of the Paganist Movement (ALL!!!) = the New Age = the rock-drug-sex-neo-ecologist culture (rock = drug = sex = neo-ecologist) = Gaia worshipers = similar scoundrels = suppressors of Christianity globally, or at least where Christianity is dominant (maybe not so much where Christianity does not flourish?) = bringing human race under Pagan Roman Influence = The end of the human race. Gots that?

What is being fought out, curiously, in the Middle East, fought out again, is precisely this battle. Some may call it the Battle of Armageddon: well, don’t take it too far, don’t be too literal; you might be right, that’s what’s threatened. (Okay. It’s not the Battle of Armageddon. I was taking that too far. LIterally speaking, we’re not battling over Armageddon. That’s alarmist talk. Oh, wait. I might be right? It is the Battle of Armageddon? That is what is threatened? Whiplash!) A war whose purpose is to exterminate Christianity, to bring about the rule of that which has prevailed in the Middle East, prior to Socrates, and Plato, a way to establish that Middle Eastern tradition, the Third Rome policy. That means the end of humanity; at least, a New Dark Age, whose effects on humanity are beyond description, at least from our poor standpoint. That’s what’s at stake in the Middle East: the old issue, and the new one. Because the people in Britain, in the United States, and in Moscow, who are for this United Nationss Condominium, who are for the geopolitical policy of Castlereah, of playing Russia against Germany, as a way of controlling Germany; who are for economic warfare from the United States against Germany and Japan; who are population wars to reduce the number of persons of darker hues of skin on this planet: those people are the true followers of pagan Roman Imperialism, admirers of that tradition. This is what one-worldism is, that’s what the so-called Moscow-London-New York detente is, the New Yalta Agreement is.

This is a bit confusing. The war’s purpose is to exterminate Christianity, apparently. To destroy the memory of the Christian Greats such as, um, Socrates and Plato? End Humanity. New Dark Age. The Dark Ages before the Christian Era of… um… Socrates and Plato. The rest of the pamphlet tells us it’s all some oil Scam from the British. (As the paragraph goes on, part of Britain’s long standing desire to bring down Germany — which is why Germany needed to fight World War Two, right?) Pushing aside those parentheses, that is a far more mundane matter than this War of the Gods the Cult Leader has set up. Maybe they’re not mutually exclusive, but there is something about human motivation that’s being pushed asunder round about heres — Earthly pursuits of power politics need not apply.

So, let’s hope that the Anglo-American-Muscovite faction loses. The fate of humanity — whether your family has any future at all — may depend upon it.

The whole thing is dizzying — which I assume to be the desired effect, and — in the right frame of mind — amusing. There is an Apostle’s Creed quality to these two pages of text (even if dated — we’ve lost the “Muscovite” threat with the collapse of Communism and a new Authoritarian Russian Government), a “This I Believe” creation of Myths which belies whatever mission the denziens are on at the moment, whatever economic or political insecurity they have been wound up to confront. Sing Choral songs about the Mortgage Crisis, what they are thinking is somewhere from this odd little essay from “Bush’s Global Crisis: The Beginning of World War 3, an EIR Special, September 1990”.

Steve comments

Wednesday, January 9th, 2008

Um.
Y’know.

Oh, let’s just run with this.

As to Factnet I really don’t care how many people are there whining that Lyn did them wrong. And I only care marginally whether or not he may have actually done them wrong. We are imperfect beings – even Lyn, though I know there are members who would disagree on that point. We all do and have done and will do bad things. So he may have done some wrong to some people. That does not make him an evil hearted individual. Surely what mistakes he may have made in his behavior toward some of his associates, if in fact such claims are even legit, are outweighed by the great good he is struggling to acheive for all humanity.

And the beat goes on.

cadre? baby boomers?

Saturday, January 5th, 2008

I should probably apologize to Michael Wade right off the bat.  This may be obnoxiously innocuous.  But the terminology sticks out as one giant red flag.  Understand, though, that out of the thousands of people who picked through and read today’s Letters to the Oregonian, you can count the number of people who flashed where I did on one hand.

Iowa was won by the young.  At last, a new cadre of voters to break the Beltway Myopia.  Let’s hope Iowa wasn’t a fluke.  Goodbye, baby boomers! 

Hm.

Cadre:  a group of trained or otherwise qualified personnel capable of forming, training, or leading an expanded organization, as a religious or political faction or a skilled work force; … … … a cell of trained and devoted workers.

Well, if you say so.  How many cadres of anti-baby boomers are there?

Storm Front

Friday, December 28th, 2007

Hm.

Some larouchies are recruiting and pitching their stuff in front of the mall over this Holiday season, others apparently see an opening, um, elsewhere.

Forget about “God”–I don’t care if you “believe in God,” and neither does Mr. LaRouche. Forget about your “politics.” All that matters are the ideas, here. Belief in the white race, we have in spades; keep that in your back pocket at all times. Religion is private. Faith, however, and, more importantly, here, Ideas are public. Find “God” on your own time–but, for Christ’s sake–for Europa’s sake, if nothing else–I highly, nearly stridently, urge you to work through this book, or, at least, the first section,

Back in March, Steve told me to forget about the positions and pay attention to the Ideas.  Anyway, ideas, apparently, belief in the White Race, they have in spades.  Apparently.  For the good of Europa…

… and not Ibero-America.

Mental note: look back on the history of the poster.   I seem to recall him posting, seemingly appropo of nothing, a quotation from the cult leader which amounted to “Time to crack a few skulls”, anywhere between a year and 2 years ago.

Hm…

Anyway.

Merry Christmas?

MORNING BRIEFING
Sunday, December 16, 2007

STICK TO THE DEFINING STRATEGIC ISSUE AND RESTORE THE `LPAC PRINCIPLE’

{The following briefings were given by Jeffrey Steinberg and Nick Walsh on December 15. The NEC would like to draw special attention to the following comment by Nick towards the end of his report, as an example to be followed: “Seattle has the right idea. They’re planning a week of action. Now, what’s their week for the week of action? It’s Christmas Eve, Dec. 24th, through New Year’s Day. And they’ve recruited all the members there who were planning on going home, not to. So there are going to be a lot of upset mothers, but that’s good. When you’re creating a revolution, Moms tend to get upset.”

… Hm.  Lucky Seattle.

“We have two weeks before Christmas, and we should really not let down, and we should not get into this totally insane Christmas mood and have “MySpace under the Christmas Tree” fantasies: But we should understand that this period is the one which really determines the future of humanity for a long time to come. So we should really go into the biggest mobilization and put all other considerations around, because we have to get a breakthrough” 

Bah Humbug.

The headlines start out with “Only We Can Win — They Can Only Bring Down the Human Race”.  So we know what we’re fighting, and what is at stake.  Or we get something like:

The Jackson Lie and the Current Crisis

Every year, Democratic Party leaders stage an ugly ritual known as “Jefferson-Jackson Day.”

They give this name to fund-raising events, to boast that their party continues a political tradition inherited from the early U.S. Presidents Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson.

This fraud is designed to bury the legacy of the most famous and revered Democratic President, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and to declare the party’s allegiance to a political philosophy directly opposed to Roosevelt’s…

Hm.  I thought they called it the “Jefferson – Jackson” Dinner in honor of the founder of the Democratic Party, Jefferson, and the first president to call himself a “Democrat”, Jackson (which, depending on how you would want to frame history might also be an origin point for the political party — though here you might want to honor the Great Political Hack in the history of Political Hackdom, Martin Van Buren.)  But that would be crazy.

In other news

On the heels of his mention in the Chinese state media as “distinguished American economist” (and on back to hosting the defense of Sudan’s genocidal government). That Benjamin Franklin hoax speech is a classic in hoaxery.  But now that I think about it, in the grand tradition of “when he says British, what he means is…” idea that your Larouchite will hunker into and call ridiculous… is this another meaning behind the claiming of Benjamin Franklin, fooled somewhere beyond the obvious “Americanism” he represented when Larouche switched from Marxism?  Surely these things aren’t accidental… there are no coincidences.

The North Korean Option

Monday, December 10th, 2007

This post received a comment directing us to these comments from Nick Benton, a confirmation of internal events within the cult.

Friendly or not, an average of 80-plus new sets of anonymous eyes have visited my blog entries here every day since last summer. That was until this past week, when the number dropped dramatically and has not rebounded beyond its pre-summer average. Then I learned from a reliable source that the sudden downturn corresponded with a new edict by Lyndon LaRouche banning his minions from the Internet, North Korea style.

Unfortunately, I have not been able to keep tabs on anything stat-wise from the point that this blog was converted to wordpress.  I do not know if the same 80-plus Larouchites have been dutifully reading this thing on a daily basis, and I do not know if those 80-plus Larouchites have departed such that … well, I’d be back to the half a dozen readers I had previously!

It may be all moot.  I am nobody; Nick Benton is The Enemy — former member with some knowledge, liable to tell all.
