This is the newest internal memo in its entirety:

INTERNAL MEMO

It should now be stated clearly for the information of the members, that Linda de Hoyos and Uwe Friesecke had been conducting operations against Ken Kronberg personally over many years–operations which significantly contributed to the conditions that led to his death.

**************************************************************

As Eaglebeak commented on FactNet, this is like the process the Larouchites undertook with Jeremiah Duggan’s death–creating an Alternate Universe in which Duggan’s mother was ultimately blamed for her son’s death.

Here we have LaRouche blaming (1) someone who left the organization in 2000 or thereabouts; (2) someone in Europe who left (was thrown out?) in fall 2006.

Who will he blame next?

I am pretty sure I passed this on this blog at the time, but sometime during the 2004 election cycle, I saw two Larouchites standing before a banner — something like a couple of the Mt Rushmore Presidents and Larouche with the great proclamation of “The Larouche Youth Movement”.  One of them was rather ridiculously taped up in John Kerry bumper stickers, a means of expressing an element of insincerity in his support of Kerry, the Larouchites’ current mission — a departure from previous cycles when Larouche moved straight from his Democratic primary race to an Independent general election bid.

I asked the bumper-sticker clad guy “Why is Larouche supporting John Kerry?”  His answer was, “We need to take over the Democratic Party!”  My cynical thought went along the lines of “That seems to be everyone’s thoughts” along with “And everyone is probably in a rude awakening.”

I was aware of some petty annoyances that Larouche caused at the Democratic convention — a buzzing fly that had to be swatted away.  I was also aware of the “Larouche PAC” side of the story — pumping up a few forgettable jokey comments by Terry McAuliffe.  I was not quite aware of the extent to which Larouche had imbued his followerers with the storyline that here, at this convention, the Larouchites were… taking over the Democratic Party, Larouche was becoming a major player at the side of Clinton… Kerry was considering Larouche as his secret weapon for vice presidential candidate, which — I will admit — really would have exploded the presidential race right then and there.  Anyway, at the end of the campaign, the analysis was in: everything that went right in the Kerry campaign was Larouche’s; everything that went wrong was Bob Shrum’s.

More gemane in the arena of creating an alternate universe for the Larouchites to the issue of Ken Kronberg, is this tidbit:

The LaRouche-tied New Solidarity newspaper in 1974 ran an obituary for three associates who it said had been murdered by federal agents. The three, who were still alive, had recently quit the group.

The one thing about Ken Kronberg is that we have witnessed the evolution of the org’s frantic spin control before our eyes.   I suppose we will never know what machinations brought the Larouche to publish those false obituaries in 1974, but we see what has happened in 2007.  Then again, in 1974 he did not have Uwe Friesecke to kick around as of yet.
I suppose this internal memo can be believed by a sector of Larouche’s followers, they who want to believe and must believe it.  The good news is that the Judicial process takes place in this reality and not the Fantasy Reality.  Anyway, these things are flying in the direction of the LYM and not so much the Baby boomers.  The baby-boomes in Leesburg, we are told, are edging out of the cult, making stronger connections with the outside world, and to a large extent taking some small writing assignments from Larouche for the last quick pay and habit.  I would like to think that the “Al Gore is Growing a Nazi Garden” story was written by someone slyly exiting, a half joke of preposterousness.  I doubt it, but still.  If somebody in Larouche-land would kindly offer up a follow-up story, stating that Al Gore has opted not to run for president BECAUSE of the fear of public fury over public attention at the expose about Al Gore’s 3rd Reich Gardening techniques, that would be amusing enough.
……………..

A quick note regarding Chip Berlet’s message of:

Time to mop up the LaRouchites.

Interesting phrasology, and a reference to… “Operation Mop Up”, which was a moment that you can say without a second’s hesitation that Larouche aped Hitler and the Brownshirts, rummaging into Communist meetings in a campaign of violence to, um, “consolidate left wing hegemony”.  This “Operation Mop Up” is quite different.

First, I want to acknowledge that in terms of what Larouche believes, no, no there is no “Get Larouche Task Force” — something just brought up by Chip Berlet, brought up by somebody else before hand — with my slightly wacky assertion of what a “Get Larouche Task Force” consists of.  There appears to be a “Get Avi Klein Task Force” in the bowels of the Larouche organization, not dissimiliar to the “Get [Fill in the blank] Task Force” of anyone who has ever written anything critical, and by critical I mean neutral, in regards to Lyndon Larouche.
We have arrived at this Whirldwind.  As we speak, or type or stare at a computer screen, the LYM — but oddly enough, not their generational forebears, have been given a brand spanking new briefing on the evils of the upcoming Washington Monthly article, and been told rambling nonsensical thoughts in which they ought think about it.  I find myself right now, within the narrow straits of this topic, juggling a number of items at this moment.  (As well, I may end up receding from this relatively break-neck pace right as the story is arriving at a break-neck pace.  That infernal real world, and all that.)

Let’s call Larouche’s slander against Avi Klein what it is — Slander — and Larouche’s use of the word slander to describe any negative or NEUTRAL piece against him represents his acts of projection.  But while it is basically crap, and while nobody much takes Larouche’s crap seriously, it is crap placed upon private and personal relations, and it is material the Larouche Camp desires to broadcast from out of their cult (and with their cult, or the most important part of it at least, holding it as gospel) to an outside world.  I cannot say that I came to this realization myself.  When and if it comes time to publish the latest “Internal Memo”, For the eyes of the LYM — and at this point, seemingly for everybody in the Free and Unfree World’s eyes — I offer only one rule of order:  Ellipses are your friend.  The corallary is for a step backward, a deep breath, and a quick untangle.  Life is too short.  Don’t demand a goddanged LYM-purpose Internal Memo.  We know the general gist anyways.

And I wander over to the other things I find myself juggling.  I suppose someone, somewhere may discover yet writings that “Lyn Marcus” did for the SWP which repeat at an earlier date the seeming life mission statement that he laid out for his Trotskyite splinter groupings in 1965.  I refer to this, and take a good, long look over it.  Having read Tim Wohlforth’s “The Prophet’s Children”, I can suggest a number of items Larouche plucked out of this mileau, as he embarked on whatever the Heck it is that he embarked on.  Trotskyism’s demand for a pure and rarefied ideology has always invited a cultish climatology.  As well the idea of a small, determined group with a single-minded purpose shapinig and controlling a larger organism — that which he referred to in earlier incarnations by some other phrase, but now refers to as “infinitisimals”.  One more thing is a fetishizing of “Youth Movement”s, or Youth Cadres — which makes sense in the Marxist form of a Revolutionary Vanguard taking out the old Reactionaries.

What is startling with these Trotsky-era writings is it’s almost convincing me that the current moment in Larouche’s history IS THE ENDS to which he has been workign toward for the past four decades.  The control of a younger generation under his control toward the older generation under his control, and the attendent “Creative Destruction” that arises.  It is a sociopathic idea, one that requires 40 years to achieve to move these two age groupings, and one that would also more or less require that “1974 to 1999” intermission in heavy recruitment.

I cannot for the life of me tell when Larouche thought he was seriously assembling a cadre of supporters for a role as Governing Leader (and he has offered up his suggestion on how he would become president — and more or less dictator — without the framework of a popular democratic vote several times, as well how the powers that be would hand him control over particular levers of power to arrive at much the same effect), and at what points he adapted to a Fantasy Shadow Government.  I offer this example, from Ruth Tuttle in “YTTN” as a guide that confuses the matter:

On the streets outside groccery stores, in airports, in Sears parking lots, I learned to hawk the NCLC’s publications, shouting out the daily headlines.  “Only two more weeks until nuclear holocaust.”  “only one more week…”  “one three more days…”  When it didn’t happen we deliriously proclaimed the news:  “NCLC averts nuclear holocaust!”

I can only suggest that the current “Fantasy Shadow Government” is a bastardized version of his earlier “Fantasy Shadow Government”, every aspect a Potemkin Village for an earlier more impressive Potemkin Village.  But I’ve already been through that analysis, in various forms.
The better explanationis to suggest that its been running around in the circles, and the circles have all ended up forming one larger circle.  Play with that geometrical model, yahoos!

The sickening washes over me.  The challenging thing comes in encountering somebody offering themselves us pondering the ways of Larouche versus that which the less than favorable world is offering us.  In actuality, there are not that many of them, but it has been enough to keep the Cult Leader going (in that he’s been happy to wander around in circles.)  Their concerns are relatively typical, their conflicts with society at large and culture at large, and I myself do not fully trust somebody who has not had these samd conflicts.  This is to suggest I grasp the memes in which the Cult Leader has thrown out there, but just fail to understand how it pulls anyone from Step A to Step Z.  I saw Larouche at the age of 12.  He looked like a nutcase to me.  I had the vaguest idea of who he was, never thinking of him at all, for the next decade, but if asked I’d probably think in terms of benevolence.  No, I had not run into a Larouchite at that point in time.  When I did, I tended to view them in a “It takes all kinds” manner, people have the free will to hand over whatever part of their free will they want to whomever they want.  If forced to consider for a second, though, I would have had to come to the conclusion that very coerceive techniques are at play with these people, had to to get them to the point where they are right now — immersed in a Fantasy World and believing they are propelling the engines of the World, and not even for their benefit.

I have not seen whatever new fangled item the LYM have just recently seen regarding the upcoming Washington Monthly article and attendent subject matter.  All I know for sure is that it will be nonsensical, but will be forced to make sense in their minds because it is easier to accept as making sense.   Having read the early offensive — a slander thrown to the journalist of the piece, a tying of a “Get Larouche Task Force” with the “Vast Right Wing Conspiracy” of the Clinton era, I can only suggest to the LYM, if any of you are reading this: — he does not think much of your intelligence.

He gave up on the outside world long ago, and has been focused solely on replenishing his nest with fresh young prey. The biggest revelation for me, when I finally completely separated from LaRouche, was the discovery of how invisible he is to the real world. Inside his organization, and his Daily Briefings, LaRouche is portrayed as the center of the universe, around which all else revolves. Once outside, former members come to realize that, perhaps, this is the biggest fraud of all.

That would be Nick Benton.  Writing on his myspace account.  A two-fer for Larouche — an ex-member AND a myspace account.  In the preceeding paragraph, Benton states that Larouche has failed on all accounts.

Reading into the pre-emptive offense against the upcoming piece by the Mossad Agent, if I am reading it correctly, I think Dear Cult Leader is about ready to absorb the loss of Baby Boomers as he pursues his end game — and he was writing off his baby-boomers anyways.  He mentioned his mortality, which is — whatever else it may suggest — is a pre-requisite for preparing his membership for their post-Larouche mortem duties.    You gather how little the LYM members could care about Ken Kronberg, and you gather that he has ready the story of the “Ken Kronberg Hoax” for the — um — Mossad Agent’s piece, that which at this point probably wouldn’t work for too many of Baby-boomers, but the replacement LYM would probably eat up.

the implications of the growing [sic] LaRouche Youth Movement, which promises a long institutional life for the organization, for many decades after the 84-year old LaRouche’s demise.

My speculative fiction regarding Larouche would be of a future, middle of this century, Lyndon Larouche long gone and long forgotten except for the most footnotey of footnotes, and the remnants of his cult of personality gone.  But a current LYMer, using much of Larouche’s jargon, and a little more nimble and on his feet, with the correct mass-desperation society experiences during a really big economic downtrun, becomes the Fascist Dictator of America.  But that’s as far flung science fiction as the Sliders episode with Larouche as president.
I have not much understood some mechanical touches for Larouche.  At the end of the day, he does need some public awareness, and the means to arrive at those have deteroiated.  Laugh as one may at his presidential bids, but they gave the media a certain requirement to cover him, and at times with a forced neutrality, as well a public curiosity to cover him otherwise.  Laugh as one may at his literary output — and to a slice of the under-30 set, say Larouche and they will think “Children of Satan” s I, II, and is there a III? — but they provided some place in the public sphere — and gave purpose for them to pop onto college campuses.  Larouche has no presidential bid in the offing, it has deteroiated to the “Support Hillary Clinton” campaign — something for his minions to do, I suppose.  Sans the concept of Larouche behind the scenese giving economic policy for a President Hillary Clinton, what would the Larouchies be promoting visa vie Larouche?  And Larouche has folded up his print runs, offering up a supposed “Internet Strategy” — something Larouche must realize by now is a sort of double-edged sword — and which is a bit more difficult to pollute the atmosphere with, I must say.   Now his street teams are standing in the middle of the freeway, poster-signs on, crude sexual jokes about “Dick” Cheney.

I do not quite get it.  Is this a “neo-Malthusian” or “negantropic” (or whatever that word is) Economic model which somehow by itself refutes the supposed Economics Larouche is advancing (which boils down to a love of building large shiny objects.  NOW does he understand the concept of governments doing a little penny-pinching now and then?)
The “Larouche Youth Movement” would probably have to end up becoming inward-looking without the physical presense of their leader, a strange spirituality.  And I will note the what he released during his prison era.  I suppose they have the “Plato” story to work with, and the cultural malaise, but beyond this, economic trends are pointing downward, rationalized as “The Winds of Change”.

But, okay.

By a very weird coincidence, I checked Dennis King’s “L.L. and the New American Fascism” out of the library about an hour before I found your post. (concering Webster Tarpley at “9/11 Truth Conferences”.)  Lately his name just keeps popping up in my “Satanic panic” research, in posts, even in casual conversation. I decided I must know more.

A few thoughts about Dennis King, not in relation ot the “Satanic Panic” — at least not directly — but with the book, from an assortment of ex-members.

And to me, the biggest irony is, I don’t think he has comprehended squat about why people join LaRouche, or stay with him for years, decades, and entire lifetimes. I can well imagine that a member who already has largely figured it out, could read King’s book and find enough justification for his/her misgivings to decide that’s the final straw, and leave at that time. I doubt that King says anything that could sway a regular member, or even a new LYM member.

AND

As to Dennis King’s book, it contains extremely useful information and insights. It is true that, since King is not a former member, there is plenty he misses, but it seems to me, judging from his recent work, that he is fast rectifying that.

It is, by default, THE book on Larouche.  My guess is if someone were to write a new book that could be take that crown of “THE” book — and not by default — it would have to be written by a former member of the cult, and not even necessarily one who was terribly high up in the ranks, because — face it — I can grasp at pieces of what the heck their point is (and I have gone through with motivations on joining — which all members are actually surprisingly up-front in explaining — and they are rather typical concerns of late adolsecents), but nonetheless, it’s an alien creature to me.

Other than that, he probably overplays the anti-semitism angle at the epense of other parts of the problem with Larouche.

I would like to say King’s motivation are foreign to me — which seems to be another weird tic that arises from any slight criticism of Larouche, but then I realize I have been on this topic for this calendar year, so I kind of  just have to shrug that question off.

Okay. I get it.

The “Get Larouche” campaign is all part of the “Get Clinton” campaign.
Avi Klein is connected with… um… the Irish Republicans? Not to be confused with the Irish Republican Army, except I gather, yes, to be confused with the Irish Republican Army.

Also connected with a bunch of names tossed out to and fro. Many of them seem to be cribbed from the Joe Conasan book.

Klein has written a slander piece against Lyndon Larouche to ensure that Hillary Clinton does win the next presidential election, which will be a great victory for Larouche because it will ensue the successful completion of 1998 era monetary policy, which had been derailed when the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy impeached Bill Clinton.
No. Seriously. That’s a lot of names tossed out to and fro. A mixture of the “Vast Right Wing Conspiracy” — or, if you will, the “Get Clinton” campaign of the 1990s — as well the old “Get Larouche” campaign(s) of predominately the 1980s.
Did you notice he’s using the old Hillary Clinton moniker “Vast Right-wing Conspiracy” to describe this “Get Larouche / Get Clinton” effort?
Um. The children are the future. The LYM will outlast Larouche, I tells you, it will! You bet! And they should stay off of myspace, because it is owned by Murdoch. (Say. Do you have anything to say about Ken Kronberg, or for that matter baby-boomers of any and all stripes?)
Then there’s this.

Given this Anglo-Israeli pedigree for Avi Klein’s recent position with Homeland Security Daily Wire, LaRouche associates took seriously a recent e-mail from Klein, which he signed as “Avi Klein, Special Agent, Mossad.” A formal inquiry has been initiated through the Israeli Embassy in Washington, to determine whether Klein’s self-description is accurate, or whether he has possibly violated Federal laws as the result of some psychological aberration. U.S. government officials have confirmed to EIR researchers that all actual Mossad agents operating inside the United States are required to alert the FBI and Justice Department in advance of their arrival.

Okay. Gots that?

I think I am — and this blog is — a study in the Heisenberg Effect, visa vie L’Affaire Larouche. This puts me in a better spot than Larouche and the cabal in the boiler room in Loudon, though, who are currently studies in the Hindenburg Effect. It is a shame that it took a suicide for events to proceed for them to unravel, but in considering Ken Kronberg’s situation, short of Witness Protection, Ken Kronberg had no immediate way of escaping the torment that was coming.
It may be best to leave this new thread alone — anything I might add would only sully it in terms of raw knowledge. Ignoring for a second the hysterical efforts by the Larouchian that derails the effect (Decent strategy, I suppose, particularly as a new thread starts up. But the damage of the thread starting with what it did is already done. It is one of those attacks on FACTNet which only makes sense in the Larouche-world). Coming off of the analysis of that last memo, we move to a stringing together of the contradictions arising from Larouche’s frantic cover-ups. These two series probably belong together, thus I have cut and pasted them over here. Next follows some excruciatingly inside inside baseball, which comes across like uncovering a new 8th circle of the concentric circles of Hell, answering the question: What was going on in the cult while Larouche was in prison? (Tangent-wise: what happens when Larouche passes away?) The cabal in the boiler-room in Loudon probably learned a couple things from that.

They have apparently passed on an identity for the poster “xlcer”, a matter I do not have much interest in one way or the other — to the young Larouchies for debating and argumentative purposes. They might have even sent a second name, seemingly picked out of the Washington Post article from a few years ago. The phrases used are “Get Larouche Task Force” and “Weak link of”. Entertaining enough concoction, I suppose.

“The Weak link” is a phrase with its own internal logic, used to slam shut in the mind of the Larouchie the debate — in his/her own mind, at least, and that’s all that is needed for these purposes. The second phrase is the “circle the wagons” and toughen up against the external enemy, who seem to have no particular motivation except their own evil hearts to “Get” Larouche. In reality, I suppose the “Get Larouche Task Force”, such as it is, concerns the likes of Dennis King and Chip Berlet, and the world of former Larouchites who have fed them much of their information. In the Larouche world, it rolls to them from the supposed drug-laundering money of John Train, and now the nefarious financiers of FACTNet. And Felix Rohatyn — can’t forget old Felix Rohatyn.

I think we can now reassess the “Get Larouche Task Force” for the current moment. A handful of journalists — the old standby of Dennis King. Also the old standby of Chip Berlet — who I haven’t really seen, but he is just popping up in the coffers. And then Avi Klein — presumably about to throw out a fair and balanced assessment. Scott McLemee, who I now have to add based off of one article for “Inside Higher Ed”, one blog entry, and one Pacifica Radio interview. And then there is Nick Benton — more on him later.

There are a couple of bloggers. No comment on them; they are moving along as best they can, back to the Heisenberg Effect.

And a good handful of former members, several of whom have congregated on a freaking message board. I walked past a point that I made in commenting on that last memo, the one that fingered the “Star Trek Groupie and Robert Beltran Stalker” — because my main purpose was to defend myself from the statement on “not knowing Ken Kronberg” (which I would do so again). The people on the FACTNet board knew Ken Kronberg.

The “weak link” of the “Get Larouche Task Force” appears to have developed an impressive little Intelligence gathering agency, in so much as he keeps all of those g-danged Internal Memos, and can interpret them based on his experiences. Which leads us to the final unspoken membership of the “Get Larouche Task Force”, and answer me the question “Why the Hell am I able to read these things?” It’s not like I’m reading things marked “INTERNAL” from Steve Jobs at Apple Computers.
Sitting at a conference call, getting your marching orders for the day. Look to the guy to your left. Then to to the guy to your right. Then to the guy behind you. One of those people? In the “Get Larouche Task Force”.

Also seemingly half of the membership in the national org in and around Loudon. (BTW: I quit using the name “Leesburg”, because the reaction to the New Republic piece suggests that the Cabal in the Boiler room in Loudon will harp on any mis-statement of specific location, even if only predetermined to be false. I do not know where the boiler room is. Is it in Leesburg? Is it in Round Tree? La La Land? Is it even a boiler room?)

It gets more interesting as one pieces together how internal each internal memo is. Some are probably not too troublesome to find their way to the public — indeed, that last one was written for public conception as much as internal conception. Some? Probably would rather not get out. But then again, the honorary member of the “Get Larouche Task Force” is probably Jeff Steinberg, who I am told and suggested at is piecing together his post-Lyn apparatus.

Good luck with that one. I am one that thinks Larouche will survive this crisis. In the same way that a chicken with its head cut off runs around in a circle for a half hour. That is roughly what Helga and Steinberg will have to work with. It has been a steady process that has gotten me to arrive at the point where I can use a reference to the metaphorical fork which one sticks things into. I think I arrived there at around the time I saw Larouche’s response to that Dennis King piece.
……………………….

Worth taking a look at is the wikipedia article on Nick Benton. Worth taking a slightly longer look at is the wikipedia history page on Nick Benton.

Somewhere in the history page, you will find that a Larouchie added this to the wikipedia entry, later edited out:

“As a member of the National Committee, he was a trusted friend and associate of Mr. LaRouche. It seems that Mr. Benton has never adequately explained his departure from trusted leader, to unflagging adversary.”

Hat tip to “tuer07”, and sorry if the following comes across as something of an attack (and I guess it is a little more critical than my last reference to Nick Benton — one part is only quasi-critical, the other a bit more so).  The wikipedia article notes that:

Benton asked the famous question of Ronald Reagan, as to whether Michael Dukakis ought to make his health records public, to which Reagan replied, “I’m not going to pick on an invalid.

Which was part of a Larouchian smear job on Dukakis, spreading the rumor that Dukakis had a history of mental illness, promulgated through Executive Intelligence Review, the meme picked up by the mainstream media, which followed the Dukakis presidential campaign for an entire news cycle.

That was 1988. Meaning it took him a decade to make the phased exit he describes, the big major step seemed to have been the 1987 establishment of his “Century News Service”. The timeline gets a little tricky in terms of hitting heavy clean up duty for Larouche — clearly had his mind on the way gone, but still doing Larouche’s dirty work.

I note that historical recollections are a little screwy as time has passed on, and I have heard the Dukakis story mistakenly passed on — by John Gorenfeld on the Thom Hartmann Show — as coming from Reverend Moon’s Washingon Times — which ticked me in the way that spotting rivial mistakes you know are wrong can sometimes do.

Somewhere on a page of Republican dirty tricks performed by the Larouchites at Dennis King’s website, and I cannot find it right off the bat, I saw a reference to the effect that “Michael Dukakis is owed an apology.”

I’m just saying… I probably shouldn’t, though. It is a little harsh, and it is water under the bridge in that this is now basically a footnote to the 1988 presidential campaign, ultimately insignificant to the results.
At any rate, I will state that I know Dianne Bettag’s April reference to “not knowing who I was using” — a meaningless misdirection, though I will say that Benton’s name was vaguely familiar at the time. But it was possibly vaguely familiar from non-Larouche land, ie: seen an article here or there.

I had a thought that I might shelve Lyndon Larouche and come back a little bit refreshed once the Avi Klein article comes out.  (My plan, incidentally, is to post the cover, linked to the story, with the subject title “The Shit Hits the Fan“.)  But I know better than to expect I could possibly do that.  It really has a momentum all it’s own, and things are tossed at me at a regular clip.  Okay.  It has been a while since I entertained a Larouchian for a long stead on this blog (and in retrospect I think there may have been more to their story than I could have dreamed at that time), but the good news is that since I was not mentioned in the Daily Briefing, their attention is going to be heaped on kheris.  Which thus far works online, and it should stay that way… right?
Well, if you “watch” LaRouche, you’ll see that at his webcasts there are numerous questions sent in from House and Senate offices asking about Cheney, Gore, derivatives, etc. I guess you could say the moderator is just making it all up, but that would be a conspiracy theory.

Yes.  Looking down a Larouche webcast transcript and we will be entertained by questions from all types of unnamed government officials from all over the world.  The good news is that this provides a chuckle for everyone who is not a Larouchian.  I actually do find some charm in his logic.  But Okay.  A story I found and placed up here during my December – January series of posts (the series of posts that threw me right into the thicket of all things Larouchian.)  What I posted:
In 1997, Philip Crane, a Republican Congressman on the House Ways and Means Committee, asked Clinton Treasury Secretary questions alerted to him from the “Executive Alert Service” on being “very concerned that severe budget austerity, as presently enforced Maastricht Criteria in the European Union, and Japan’s new auterity budget, threaten to detonate a systematic financial collapse.”

So, Rubin scratched his head, provided a non-answer, and asked to be sent the magazine.  You can guess what “Executive Alert Service” is.

To complete the story, Rubin good-naturedly alerted Crane to the fact that he had just asked a question based on a Larouche piece of literature, Crane was red-faced with embarrassment, they both laughed, and they moved on from there.

Some of the people who are known to have closely followed LaRouche’s proposals are wackos such as a former U.S. President and a former Secretary of the Treasury, who don’t associate with him publicly, though.

And there is a reason to single out Rubin here, as the Larouchian continues in his arguments:

Clinton and Rubin went in the direction of the “new financial architecture” indicated by LaRouche at a certain point.
And on it goes.  There was this sort of mini-scandal a couple years ago when John Conyers was making waves about Impeaching Bush.  Larouchians claimed credit, and indeed I observed them in the flesh sort of plastering the rear of an anti-war rally arguring with someone that — No, No… Larouche has been having direct talks with Conyers.  The Conyers — Larouche controversy played itself on the politics1.com website.  (Scroll down a bit).

I suppose I should look to flesh out the connections he had with the Reagan administration — where his shadow fantasy government made connections with the actual government, and I note that I saw him use today — which he will use at any opportunity — the photograph of him next to Ronald Reagan, and his now seems to have deteroiated Intelligence connections.  (Tends to be a little shaky at times, witness KKK Bilks Money Out of Larouche to Attend Star Trek Conventions.)  Today he is quite good at compiling every doom and gloom economic forecast, filtered away of every non doom and gloom forecast, and flushing it forward in his feeds.  Interestingly I note a sort of haphazardness creeping in.  The Reagan photograph was connected onto a story concerning Henry Kissinger, and Kissinger was not cast into the light of being on par with Satan.  Because Kissinger’s message worked with the Putin Russia love that Larouche is exhibiting these days.
From Kheris:  The fact that HQ named me along with King is so absurd. I don’t know what sort of visitor stats this blog is collecting, but I do know it’s not being quoted anywhere aside from Skull and Bones.

It’s “Skull / Bones”, originally named “Skull / Bones 2004” with an image of a faux bumper sticker.  Kerry.  Bush.  Harde har har.  (The “Skull and Bones” society and attendant concern over I think Larouche would take credit for popularizing in the 1980 Republican primary on behalf of Reagan over Bush I.  But never mind that.  He apparently backed away from it all sometime around full – fledgingly endorsing Kerry, who had to shake off his new-fangled supporters on a couple of occasions.)
This whole thing has felt almost as cloistered as Larouche, Inc… a small group talking amongst themselves.  But I suggest that Kheris, I, Dennis King, everybody is just about to receive a giant boost in stats.  I do not know how big a story this is in the scheme of things, but I do not it is a story — will be covered by the AP as they say, and we are tangentally a part of it.  I also wonder if being named — “Star Trek Groupie and Robert Beltran Stalker”– isn’t just a little bit too juicy and wacky for a media report to not pass by.  I am bracing myself for something, though I do not quite know what, or if it is even enough to brace myself for.
For instance, I notice that Dennis King has re-arranged his website a little bit.

It is probably a mistake to examine the prdouction out of Loudon, Kremlinology style, in anything but broad brushstrokes.  I may have overhot my load in explaining the attack on myspace.  Why is Larouche attacking mypace?  To keep his Youth Movement off of myspace.  Simple question; simple answer.

Apparently there is a back story to all of this.  Larouche Inc issued this statement to their membership after witnessing how members’ use of myspace was undermining  the cult, embarrassing them with its content, embarrassing them as people swarmed online asking blatantly phrased questions such as “Why did you kill Jeremiah Duggan?”, and embarrassing them with responses which may work well and good — for their purposes — in “meetspace” real world, but not so much online:

Such behavior includes, but is not limited to using web community portals such as facebook or myspace to promote the website; advertising our organization in a way that reaches beyond an unofficial capacity; or pursuing opportunities to have the website crawled more often by search engines. The aforementioned authorities include legal counsel, LYM editorial, and the LYM War Room. 
So.  There you go.  That is why Larouche is currently swarming his feed with anti-myspace missives, on how myspace is leading us all back into a Dark Age reminiscent of the “New Dark Ages” era of the 1580 – 1620 interval, or something like that.  Throw in a reference to Ruppert Murdoch, and you have a vague reminiscent of the political activism which the Larouchie probably engaged in during the immediate pre-Larouchie phase of their life — mind you, the vast majority of the poop Larouche is swimming in is going to see a Larouchite, see that it is insane, and move on to — oh, I don’t know — their political science class, their beer keg party, their antiwar meeting, to the movie theater to watch the new Simpsons movie, or — what the hell — to a “9/11 Truth Conference”.

Speaking of that “previous life”, there aren’t many peoples bigger than the tag-team of Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert in this mileau.  Witness the “Stewart / Colbert 2008” t-shirt.  Hence, Larouche’s words on the subject of Stephen Colbert — nonsensical as they may be:
This leads us to the subject of the method of the Stephen Colbert who amused President George W. Bush, and also Justice Scalia, with such elegance, at a Washington Correspondent’s event. I suspect that what Rupert Murdoch fears the most is what he suspects that Stephen Colbert knows what is gestating in Murdoch’s stinking pouch. Think of MySpace as Murdoch’s pouch.

Now, does this make Stephen Colbert’s — within this arena legendary — performance before Geoerge W Bush a good thing or a bad thing?  I do not quite know.  It is quite opaque on Dear Cult Leader’s part.  In thinking about it, I do not believe it matters.  Someone standing half way between the real world and the Larouche world will just be impressed that Larouche is referencing a hero of sorts to them in a manner that places him in some weird large historical context — (in Larouche’s case tends toward simply name-dropping a bunch of figures.)
The mention of Stephen Colbert is part of the mind control process for yutes. What Lyn has to do is denigrate Colbert who does more in a 1/2 hour to effect politics than Lyn has done in over THIRTY YEARS. Almost all college students who watch The Colbert report will have an interest in some aspect of politics. Lyn lusts for that young blood and neeeds to make sure that in the eyes of a new yute, he is the bigger star. The yute loses one more connection to the real world and takes one more step into the Bizarro world of Lyn’s cult of personality.

How it ends up in a rambling designed to take the LYMer away from myspace is a bit curious, but I imagine that these things just sort of pile up: tighten the levels of control by denying it all.

Oh, mercy me. Where to begin?

I guess it takes a few days for the machine to kick out its speil. Today the thing is FINALLY filled with the brim with items about infrastructure… For instance, the reason the bridge fell is because… um… we haven’t built rail off of Larouche’s blueprint. I will not be looking through them; I note them because of their predictability.
But I must note the new campaign of attacks against Myspace.

It makes perfect sense. Figure that equation I had just formed, which is, my message to the — um — “Robert Beltran stalker”: We, as part of the conspiracy somehow or other, are successfully accomplishing that which the CIA, KGB, and Cuban Frogmen were never able to accomplish. (Though I guess I have to exclude myself. I wasn’t mentioned in the Daily Briefing. Sigh. COME ON!! Give me something here! What is it going to take to be referenced in the Daily Briefing? If I were to endorse the “Draft Al Gore” campaign, would that help you find a good hook? Or am I going to have to retrofit these things by beginning to promote the economic ideas of John Train to pretend that that’s the reference?) Welcome. To the Internet. The now outdated, somewhat utopian phrase “Information Superhighway”.
To operate a functioning totalitarian (or at least heavily Authoritarian) government, one needs to cut off undesirable material at the pass. China has its filters in place, for instance. But. How does one do that, particularly when your entire production of cult literature dissemination, due to the sliding of your printing press into oblivion, must be delivered online — and Online is ALL ONE GOTS?
From the feed:

In light of Murdoch’s many sex-problems, LaRouchePAC proposes the following acronym for his “MySpace”:
Many
Young
Students
Profiled
And
Controlled
Electronically

Wait a minute! NOW THAT’s PROJECTION!!

Now, Larouche is tapping into the well of concern that parents have with myspace, and all parents need to get a good grip on such Internet sites, because there is a dark side lurking with the myspaces of the world — and Larouche is exploiting the incidents of sexual abuse of minors that myspace facilitated. In a previous decade, with the cult in different formation, I would assume that the Myspace attack is about jiggling for change from those concerned with these issues, wanting action to keep the children safe.

This comment was left on this blog over the weekend:

It’s funny that LaRouche is supposed to be such a big visionary but he completely missed the boat on the internet. He didn’t predict it; he didn’t control it; and he didn’t even bother trying to predict its destruction. And its clear that his organization knows nothing about it. That’s what happens when you don’t recruit any members between 1973 and 1999. See also Computron.

(Page linking to Larouche site full of the “Daily Myspace Joke”.)

I note that right after he posted that, before this morning, Larouche had stuck up something on his feed which almost seemed as though it was a straight reply to this comment. I hate to link to his pages, but in this case I can’t just snippet an item or two from a piece that simply must be seen and read to be believed: “On MurdochSpace“. Now THAT one’s a doozy. And I say that even as I note that he has reshuffled any number of items I have encountered from previous efforts and placed them awkwardly into this thing. It really does read like this.
So there he is, positing himself as a Great Captain of Industry in the 1950s — he’s a regular Forrest Gump in terms of standing at every historically important event, ain’t he? And so ahead of his time! At all times! On everything! Why — he predicted Myspace back in the late 1950s.
So, taking the summary of facts presented by Charles and Kathy into account, the McGoohan TV series, “The Prisoner,” is to be seen as a computer-age parody of the plot of George Orwell’s “1984.” “MySpace” is to be recognized as “Big Brother” Rupert Murdoch’s electronic “empire.”The object of the operation is to transform young-adult human beings into Orwellian zombies the type sufficiently self-degraded by this processing to become sincere devotees of what the Beaverbrook intelligence empire produced as the intellectual spawn Murdoch represents.

I suppose there might be something to this:

A society which thinks in any form of digital-computerese, is a society of zombies as the living dead strolling, dripping, onto the shore, from out of the sordid muck of a “black lagoon.”
To which I can only respond with: WOOT! Or… something. I have avoided a lot of Internet culture of this sort. I don’t really know much silly Internet lingo besides “woot”. And “LOL”.
It may be telling what I guessed he was getting at when the commenter asked why I had not brought up the “Myspace Joke of the Day” feature. There was this online and passed on joke of “Super Powers You Wish You Had” — one of which the power to get Larouchies to shut up. A simple joke, mind you. But one that makes Larouchies aware they are jokes to society at large.

Myspace has been deemed the weak link in terms of demonization of Internet content — something which allows for a sense of Intellectual Superiority. Maybe there is something problematic with the way myspace works, and its assault on the senses. Get the Larouchie to absorb that, and accounts such as this one will not process.

Back to that infamous Daily Briefing. The one that doesn’t mention me. (SOB). Posted to the FACTNet board, and promised here on this blog, and I realize I am skiddadling past some other important parts of that post to focus on one thing of interest to me:
Second Comment: The target audience for this memo is the “yutes”–the LYM. Not the Baby Boomer members.
Evidence:

1. It was buried in the Operations Bulletin section of the Morning Briefing–Boomer members don’t read this religiously, but LYMers do.
I’ll wager any number of Boomer members missed the “Memo” completely.

2. It targets FactNet–which is also read by (and sometimes posted on by) LYMers. I doubt that any Boomer members post on FactNet, but more of them are reading it these days, as it gets more exciting. Still, FactNet is definitely a yute magnet. (It’s not American Family Foundation, by the way.)

3. It carries on about someone stalking Robert Beltran–not a fact that would interest Boomer members, who don’t give much of a hoot about Beltran. He is strictly a yute-related personage, elevated by LaRouche.

4. The reference to gossip circles who need to be quelled is instructive–because this is after all an internal memo. So we conclude that the gossiping going on is internal, and that some of the leadership is concerned.

I now must explain something about that last Larouche related post of mine. I posted those youtube clips with the same spirit as to the idea that what did in the Soviet Union was The Beatles. In the cloistered world of Larouche, the only item I linked there that was not completely subversive was the Leonard Bernstein peformance of Beethoven… and I wouldn’t be surprised if that were a no-no. Duke Ellington, the various rock bands, the clip of Chris Elliott’s take off on William Shatner’s take off of Elton John’s take off of Ray Bradbury, the earliest Science Fiction movie ever produced? Dangerous stuff.

That something else is whatever last vestige of personal fun or interest a member has which connects him or her to the real world. Thus for older members from the 1960s it was important to denounce the Beatles as a British run operation. For black memebrs especially, any connection to jazz was taken away and attacked. AS you go through the years you will find that whatever struck Lyn’s fancy while watching TV which was popular among THE YUTES HE WANTED had to be attacked as evil and something which if continued to be enjoyed or known about would cause the human race to spiral into the hands of the oligarchy and HELL.

In the LC you begin to develop something like an “approved” list of behaviour based on what Lyn enjoyed. When I would walk through any regional office or the national office it seemed that everyone was smoking a pipe like Lyn did at the time. Since your time was taken 24/7 by the cult, a rare day off had people sneaking off to do something they enjoyed like a movie. Even then you would hear about a movie which was on the approved list based on whether security said it was a movie Lyn enjoyed or revealed the oligarchy.

I am juggling many audiences, trying to figure out how anything I post here might be received by different forces.

…………………………..

The other aspect of the memo:

Ironically, while LaRouche claims that others are exploiting “the tragic death of Ken Kronberg” the ENTIRE purpose of this memo is rip apart Kronberg and threaten those people who are grieving over his death–the same people in the organization who are in turmoil over Ken’s death. Rather than memorialize Ken in a loving way, and respond to the turmoil and grief in a way that a loving person would, with compassion, LaRouche rampages against Ken, essentially saying, “you are idiots if you mourn him, those people writing about him on Factnet and elsewhere, don’t know him, here is the truth, we will prove to you that you and he are losers.” According to LaRouche’s memo, Ken should have fallen on his sword years ago, but instead, according to the memo, Ken looted LaRouche by making the LaRouche PACS pay their bills for printing. 

… but, the cabal in the boiler-room in Loudon won’t let me.

I sense that we have arrived at that point where the creators of the “Daily Briefing” have decided to cut that Gordian Knot and treat their internal daily briefing memos in such a manner to acknowledge the external readers of said.

The latest excretions from such sewers as Dennis King, the American Family Foundation’s FactNet website, a new website run by Star Trek groupie and Robert Beltran stalker Christine Wellman, and other droppings from John Train’s salon

God damned it. I am insignificant after all. The best I can think of where I fall into line in that is that these posts are “dropping from John Train’s salon” — which fits the bill of when I was seemingly obliquely referenced as a “gutter outlet” of “Wall Street Fascist John Train”.

No disrespect for the “Star Trek groupie and Robert Beltran stalker”, but compare technorati stats, the higher the authority the more significant linkings figure, the lower the rank the more viewed the blog:

I’m like Rodney Dangerfield here — Just can’t get no respect. Then again, my numbers inflated off of a London Telegraph posting to a post about John Edwards and a well-traveled sports blog linking to a post about Greg Oden — while “Larouche Watch” has to rely off of the drawing power of Larouche. So I guess I will just have to toss the humbling words of “As far as I am concerned, Skull and Bones is a hero, as in Benton” and “in my view-yes, you are having an effect, and a salutary one” and shake my heads in the eternal infinitisimal of infinitisimals. The Larouchians in the boiler room in Loudon refuse to acknowledge my existence. Oh, why, oh why, do the fates mock me so?

continue the obsessive campaign of LaRouche haters to exploit the tragic death of Ken Kronberg, a man they never knew, and whose life was dedicated to fighting the stupidity they represent.

Let me tell you a story. I do not know when this story begins, or where the best part to join the story would be.
Actually, let me take a moment and just listen to a rock band for a few minutes to clear my head.
Okay. How about some jazz for a short spell?

Okay, fumbling around for a beginning of a story.

There was this blog community or other who was having trouble and getting annoyed by a sudden spurt of Larouchian commenters. He asked the question “WTF?”, at which point somebody provided a link to this blog. At the same time, somebody I used to know, teaching at a University, answered the question of what exactly those Larouche idiot a-holes were by providing a link to this blog. At the same time a college journalist found a comment made at this blog from a recently exited disgruntled ex-Larouchian, and I ended up helping guide her to him for the purposes of a story. I had made it a habit of posting forward comments from ex-Larouchians, thinking it absolved me somewhat for a sin of treating the cult a bit kookily and benevolently (an example of sorts: here), thinking it did the ex-Larouchian good to vent their frustrations, but never quite realizing that the small act of providing a platform for such was a fairly important psychological service for them.

Still, I felt I was cheating the peoples who determined me to be a source for things Larouche. I was not. I decided I would become such a thing, for a short spell, and then move on. Thus, I wandered through streams of old news articles, a few chapters of old books, and pieced together what was something of a substitute wikipedia article, endevoring to splice it together onto a separate page, and let that be — more or less — the end of it. Call me a source, I made myself into a source, of sorts — and that’s all I have to say.
But before I could leave the topic alone, some Larouchians strung me along for a spell, and I was obligated to respond — knowing full well any exchanges were going to be two individuals speaking two different languages. After a while, I simply became weary of the topic, wanted to move the blog back to things electoral and political and sane.

I cannot say I left the topic of Lyndon Larouche alone. And herein lies a key moment in this story, where my concern for some guy I never knew comes into the picture. But first let me take an intermission and listen to some rock band.

Okay. It was during this month that I was leafing through one of those inane Larouche pamphlets, one of those things that Larouchians abandon in bulk at the end of their card-table shrine duties. Understand, I knew Larouche was imparting on his “LYM” hatred of the Baby-Boomer generation. But this was starkly manifested in this odd assortment of “Historic Internet Broadcast Transcripts” and ridiculous articles. What I saw was this strange adulation of the Youth Movement at the same time as heavy-handed baby-boomer bashing, on all fronts. And I noted that the “LYM”ers were being referenced as “leaders” and were mouthing words disparaging of baby-boomers.
Now then. Deep breath. How about another rock song? Okay. A goofy send-up of one of William Shatner’s sillier moments?

A rather simple dynamic popped into my head while seeing this dichotomy in play in such sharp relief, something which I suppose I would have realized if I had thought about for a moment based on what I already knew by way of outsider accounts of the “Cadre Schools”. The baby-boomers in that cult (and I have the history down: it all starts in the late 1960s — the coming of age of the baby-boomers) must really be being treated like absolute crap! It looks to all the world, mind you — the message is inherent in this stupid collection of propaganda, no insider information needed — as though they have been deemed disposable waste by Larouche.

And that was where I sat when Ken Kronberg, a man I never knew who had involved himself with a man I harbored a disgust toward, committed suicide. I received word by pursuing the FACTNet board, name either not mentioned or registering with me. And I did not know what I was supposed to do with that. I had slid myself into a fairly strange spot with this blog — tied into Larouche just enough that I had to acknowledge something just happened, but having nothing much to say about it. At the same time, I had that gut reminder of my observation from the month earlier — when I learned to read their literature from the vantage point of stuff meant for the consumption of their membership.
There is nothing more dangerous than a little knowledge, and that is what I possessed with regards to a man I did not even know the name of in what was clearly a cult, one which I did not really know the mechanics for.

So I drum forward with ramblings on Ken Kronberg, regardless. Ken Kronberg’s family lists my blog on their memorial website. I make various stabs on understanding his life and what he was all about. And the background of Larouche’s Internal Memos — leaked to King, leaked to xlcer, leaked to Benton, absurdly referenced by a Larouchian here as at first “not credible” and then on to “stolen documents” with another Larouchian citing them as “I don’t see what’s wrong with them” — confirmed that observation from a month earlier. For that matter Larouche’s published materials on Kronberg
managed the same thing.
I found the situation haunting. And there was this thought that crosses my mind “So. What are you going to do about it?” Occasionally I have vivid enough dreams that I wake up in the morning and the meaning of the dream, that which my psyche is telling me, makes itself clear as a brick on the head. More often than not, the message boils down to “Drop It”. I had a dream which centered on Larouche, the only such dream I have ever had. The message was the opposite — “Don’t drop it.” My conscience was not going to allow me to gingerly wander away from this.
Should I proceed with the story? Or should we all watch an ancient movie?

There was this moment in which I felt I had done my due diligence, in which I could severe ties to the affair. But then Larouche himself egged me on. That would be the “Wall Street Fascist John Train” “gutter outlet” reference, which so far as I could make out — since it pertained to “blogs” and since the number of such blogs was, roughly, two, meant ME, baby.

King and others who know nothing about the financial relationship between the LaRouche political movement and PMR claim that the movement “looted” PMR to ruin. As usual, bullshit spews from John Train’s overpaid plagiarist.
In the interest of dispelling such bullshit circulating among gossip circles internationally, some simple facts are provided here for internal informational purposes.

I had assumed a somewhat simple and straight-forward equation of what happened with PMR even before encountering the “official story” from the “anti-Larouche” grapevine. But it strikes me that I could easily lose myself in the thickets with this, and be diverted from some even simpler equations. Consult your Larouche literature, and such stuff as this will pepper the end-printed run of every publication, (perhaps with the possible exception of Fidelio?), from the pens of the LYMers, and from their newly transplanted mind from Larouche:
Aren’t you tired of wanting to die? Wallowing, wasting away here on Earth, until you run out of breath? That’s how Baby Boomers now live.

My understanding of the situation springs from THAT wellspring. Presumably the financial dealing of PMR have been investigated — and we will get to the bottom of the “fictitious capital”, the details will coming out shortly. Presumably the boiler room or basement of headquarters in Loudon will stick to their story — a story that, at any rate, if taken at face value would still leave them in between a rock and a hard place in terms of encroaching Investigations. Flash before me a shiny object, and I still see what is behind that shiny object. So I can skip a few items from the memo and go directly to:
b~~~~Simple Fact: The same AFF Factnet website which now stars Dennis King, the pathetic sexually obsessed Paul Kacprzak, and a host of LaRouche haters claiming that they represent Ken Kronberg’s legacy, targeted PMR for financial warfare destruction in 2004, claiming that by destroying the company, the LaRouche political movement would be destroyed.

Dennis King has posted … maybe twice … or thrice. One of them to try to gin up the cause for affecting wikipedia articles, something which seems to have fallen on deaf ears. If Paul Kacprzak (a google search reveals he provided a highly quotable quote for the Washington Post “NO Joke” article of a few years’ back) is around themsparts, he is safely behind a psuedonym, and I don’t much care. But I know what posts they are referring to, gleaned when I looked over the vast message board. The answer is a sort of “yes and no”. The conspiracy starts and ends with the never-followed-up suggestion to “alert the other clients” that they are dealing with a business with stronger ties to Larouche.
Say… Looky here, the nefarious Dennis King provided us with it in quick short-hand … which disappoints me, because it means that our boiler-room cabal probably did not do any work to arrive at this bullet point.
And, naturally, that thicket obscures the larger story.

Hm?

I am a little disappointed in Lyndon Larouche.  I was expecting his pump to have been filled to the brim with materials that flogs the Minnesota bridge collapse.  After all, this at least fits the Larouche grind, and at least does not seem as contrived to float as a “mission” than the aftermath of the Virginia Tech shooting kick against the evils of video games — which was contrived on multiple levels, not the least of which the issue was nowhere on any person’s mind whereas references on where America’s infrastructure come to mind anytime we pass over a bridge.  Maybe I will just have to wait until Monday to see a cluster of about 40 items.  I do not know what is taking him so long.  Is he losing a step in pivoting to current events?  What kind of crisis mongerer is he?
As it is, he sticks a few spokes into the celebration of Russian Infrastructure Production, and then there’s the great question:
The question still remains: Why does Rohatyn hate LaRouche’s longstanding call for an FDR-style economic recovery?

I don’t know.  Larouche has decided to attach Rohyatyn to the Dodd – Hagel Infrastracture Bill.   The headline:  Senators Hagel and Dodd Fall Into Rohatyn’s Anti-FDR Trap.  Tellingly enough, Larouche manages to exonerate Hagel from the proceedings, and leaves Dodd as being in league with the forces of Rohyatyn, the — um — Nazi, and by Nazi I mean International Banker Holocaust Survivor.  LaRouche commented, “Hagel has a good heart, but has been misadvised. He doesn’t understand economics yet, the kind of economics that rules the real world.”
That really is a pretty interesting little dichotomy he is throwing up there.  Why the hell does he not suggest that Chris Dodd has a good heart?   I suspect the answer lies within the biography of his father, Thomas Dodd.  Look up and down the wikipedia article, and see if you can figure out what a Royatan – Dodd conpiracy would be all about.
……………………………………………….

I can’t believe you are indulging in this travesty. Do you get paid in money, sex or drugs?

A Larouchite asked that to another blog, found on the sidebar, easily identifiable as — really the only other blog converged on this topic.

Drugs and Sex.   Drugs and Sex.  Drugs and Sex.  This brings me to a question — the drugs part first of all, and I will get to the sex part in a second and weave money into the equation.  So here is my question: Who’s afraid of High Times Magazine?

Well, I am to a small degree.  It’s a magazine that elicits a certain amount of snickering.  My opinion on the issues of drug legalization and criminalization are irrelevant in the context of this post, so it’s best to side-step them.  All I will really say is that I do not really find desirous a nation of pot heads, and refuse to celebrate the drug in any way.  Curiously, I have never actually looked at a physical copy of High Times magazine.  I don’t know what the lay-out is like, and am ignorant of how it weaves together somewhat contradictory components in its mission: it’s serious and not serious at the same time, high minded in defending drug usage and civil liberties inherent in protecting same, at the same time as jerky with Cheech and Chong esque humor.  On the other hand, I lost some respect for the magazine when I read that they endorsed John Kerry in the last election.  This strikes me as against their narrow editorial focus — a Matt Taibbi discussion with Drug Enforcement Agents working for a Kerry victory because it would bring them back to the good old days of Clinton pops into my mind.  But I am not going to tell High Times magazine how to do their job, and they can do whatever the heck they want.

High Times magazine is the source of a few articles from Chip Berlet and a single article from Dennis King on Lyndon Larouche — the narrow focus being coverage of his old “National Anti-Drug Coalition” and its place within the larger anti-drug movement.  Mention either of the two to a Larouchite, or even bring up background information on Larouche, and they will conjure up Berlet or King and attach them to High Times Magazine, seemingly suggesting that British Oligarchs or John Train or whomever placed them to some high editorial role at the magazine, smugly assured that that finalizes the point, that that permanently discredits Berlet and King.

The High Times Reader, a collection of various articles through High Times history, publishes a Chip Berlet article on the “National Anti Drug Coalition”, which has that classic generic name, easily undistinguishable from any number of other anti-drug organizations.  It posited the organization as being an effective in to ally with police organizations, and of course a good money magnate, and ultimately a means to attract black Americans concerned with drug use in the inner-city.

When the US Labor Party perceived it had stumbled across a gold-mind issue, it went into high gear.  The call for the National Anti-Drug Coalition in the July 10 issue of New Solidarity was accompanied by an endorsers list of over 120 community leaders, legislators, union leaders, and clerics.  The founding convention of the group was set for September 29, 1979, in Detroit’s Cobo Hall.  As a warm-up for the September meeting, the US Labor Party scheduled a series of state and city meetings of anti-drug forces, including an annual awards banquet for the Illinois Anti-Drug Coalition, a neat rabbit out of the hat piece of organizing since the Illinois Coalition had only recently been invented by USLP cadre.  At first several prominent political, civic, and religious leaders were lined up to appear at the Illinois Awards Banquet, but as word of the Larouche connection spread — he was the featured guest speaker — people began to break off.

Which is the way of things.  A similar set of circumstances happened when Larouche ended up taking control of an Earth Day Event at New York’s City College in 1970.  In the case of this Anti-Drug Banquet, it gave Larouche an opportunity to ratchet up the charges of nefarious conspirators out to destroy Larouche, and drug-kinged conspirators at that.

I suspect that part of the anti-drug message he has woven slides right along his anti-video game message.  College students look around at their lives and decide that either they or their fellow roommates are wasting time, and desirious of bigger and better things IMMEDIATELY.  Larouche sells the “World Historical Figures” scheme, and they run off to man card-table shrines for the next thirty years of their lives.  But at least they get the opportunity of feeling intellectually superior to their baby-boomer Pothead Parents’ generation and their contemporary generation of pothead peers — who, after all, seem to have no interest in creating a Renaissance, and do not appreciate this great classical music that they are being pumped with.  It is a neat little hooky meme.

Anyway, this Chip Berlet written High Times published article suggests a clue as to some of the troubles that Larouche – related articles have had in laying out basic background information as the years piled on.  What is the shorthand way to slide some details of the Chris White story into a quicky article about a nutty remark made during, say, the 1984 Democratic Party Primary run?  From a rambling Larouche speech, published in the much maligned High Times, something which supposedly had to do with how the forces of Rockefeller or the combined forces of the KGB and CIA or whomever the enemy was at the time were working against them, but which ended up conjuring up the classic Twilight Zone episode which ends when the Human realizes that the book “How to Serve Man” is a cookbook.  I think I’ve published this before — at any rate, published the account from the New York Times writer watching Larouche comment on a video taped session of his “deprogramming *” (see “Part Two”), but that is part of my point here: How does one go about republishing it over and over again in the course of intermittently covering Larouche?  It is background information that floats away, replaced with — say– the “Queen of England” reference.
“How do you brainwash somebody?  Well, first of all, you pull a psychological profile or develop one in a preliminary period.  You find every vulnerability of that person from a psychological standpoint.  Now the next thing you do is you build them up for fear in males and females of homosexuality, aim them for an identification with anal sex, their mouth is identified with fellatio.  Their mouth is identified with the penis — that kind of sex, and with women.  Womanhood is the fellatio of the male mouth in a man who has been brainwashed by the KGB; that is sucking penises.”

Larouche went on to claim that the programming played upon guilt fears about masturbation and homosexuality and forced the person being programmed to engage in degrading acts.  According to Larouche, the programmers would show the victim a picture of a man performing intercourse with a sheep.  “Wouldn’t you like to do that?  How about this dog?”  The key to the technique was summed up by Larouche thusly: “What brainwashes is the victim’s knowledge that he is degrading himself in order to avoid pain.  It’s not the pain that brainwashes, it’s forcing the victim to run away from the pain by taking the bait of degrading himself.  This persistent patter of self-degradation, self-humiliation, is what essentially accomplishes the brain-washing.”

The preceding paragraphs are something that one should keep in mind if and when they see Larouche followers out in force with their stupid and juvenile “Dick Protector” (Point to Condom) promotion, rallying for the impeachment of Dick Cheney and against the Synarchist controlled Democrats.

A question is raised about what ever happened to the National Anti Drug Coalition. What happened to it is what happens to every thing which involves Lyn. A rationale idea of being against illegal drugs become the irrational vanity project of Lyn. Along the way it is used to make as much money as possible via contributions, sales of Dope Inc books and subscriptions to a magazine. The contacts at the card table shrines are called back for subs to the magazine “War on Drugs”. This leads to another call about culture and the drug lobby so we hit them for the Schiller Institute. Lyn is hidden like a crazy grandfather in the basement when all of this is going on.

Next we do something very subtle in contacting candidates and putting a score card in the magazine for a few issues. Of course, Lyn tops the field. Next comes we “boil” the sub list to get money for Lyn’s presidential run. If you blow off some people it is an acceptable loss for a few reasons.

-Hitting the jackpot with some big money or loans will more than make up for the loss if some subscribers. Besides, they will be called back in a few months anyways over and over until they change their phone numbers.

-You really in retrospect do not lose money on the subscription you sold at a card table shrine because you never mail it out in the end.

………………………………………..

Great moments in message board discussions, and add it to how the “National Anti-Drug Coaltion” funnels money in…:

– Let all admit that Lyn is one of the most voluminous rhetoricians in all history.

–  I admit to no such thing. I think it is nonsense – and that ex-LaRouche people still have rocks in their heads.  Moreover, it is probably more likely that LaRouche (or some member of his con-artist team) have simply written a computer algorithm for producing un-artful prose.
