ITEM NUMBER ONE. \u00c2\u00a0Tarpley Notice.<\/strong>
\nWebster Tarpley has a new book out. \u00c2\u00a0I speculated in my last “Larouche Challenge” that there’s some ignoring on Romney from the conspiratorial mindset premise of Romney being a set-up for the British backed Obama to get to the second term and … whatever. \u00c2\u00a0I suppose the “Epic Debate Failure” has shifted the landscape such that the perception is Romney has a Chance, and maybe Tarpley had been plotting how to get hold of the next political opposition wave under a Romney Administration, hedging somewhat to remain viable in the event of a Romney loss. \u00c2\u00a0And so we get this.<\/a><\/p>\n

If Romney Wins Get Set For A Big Upsurge-of Polygamy in the United States<\/em>. \u00c2\u00a0An appearance on “Truth Jihad Radio” with Kevin Jarrett. \u00c2\u00a0To promote the insta-book Just Too Weird<\/a>. \u00c2\u00a0And here I thought a Romney Victory just meant I’d have to start wearing weird underwear.<\/p>\n

Tarpley reveals that Mormonism, Mitt Romney’s tradition, is not actually a religion but a synthetic ideology sponsored by British intelligence, as part of their campaign of covert warfare against the United States.<\/em>
\nThe first Civil War took place in 1857 when the Mormons in Utah attempted to secede. Utah was selected as a strategic location which would break the United States in two between east and west.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Romney family later moved to Mexico to avoid the ban on polygamy in the US.<\/em>
\nTo their credit most Americans believe in religious tolerance and separation of church and state. They find it unseemly to attack a candidate based on his religion. However, Mormonism is not actually a religion but a subversive political party that has donned the disguise of a religion for protection.<\/em>
\nEven if it is a religion, a Mormon should not be holding high political and ecclesiastical offices at the same time.<\/em>
\nMitt Romney’s loyalties are first and foremost to the Mormon cult, which is also fundamentally Zionist. Romney and Netanyahu are old friends.<\/em><\/p>\n

Hm. \u00c2\u00a0Joseph Smith\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s White Horse Prophecy for World Conquest Makes Romney a More Dangerous Warmonger Than George W. Bush<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0Webster G. Tarpley on INN World Report Radio with Tom Kiely, Oct. 11<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em>\u00c2\u00a0 Y’know. \u00c2\u00a0The current Webster Tarpley line has him more supportive of Obama (as Lesser of two Evil material) than the Larouchies are supportive of Romney<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In other items, I don’t know if xlcer at the (currently down) factnet forum is kidding or not about “Tarpley seeking recruits from the writers of ‘Why We Left’, but I will go ahead and note this here
\nErica Duggan takes note of new allegations from both the “Why We Left” piece and factnet postings<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In other former member items, … well not quite a former member, but this guy intertwined into the cult apparently<\/a>…
\nand quite a bit more palatable here…\u00c2\u00a0NB discusses The Master<\/a>, with an unstated eye toward his own past experiences. \u00c2\u00a0Interesting paragraph here.
\nThere’s a lot of circumstantial evidence that the promotion of cookie-cutter cults was a project of a sinister faction of U.S. intelligence following World War II, based on the discovery during the war of Chinese-Mongolian brainwashing techniques. At its core were experiments and techniques on how to get ordinary people like Phoenix’s character to abandon their own behavior and thoughts and substitute for them someone else’s agenda<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Some Comparative Cult Studies here.
\nNuts everywhere!
\n<\/a>It doesn’t matter what I believe, it matters what Lyndon LaRouche\/Lyn Marcus makes his followers believe.
\nAnd now, for my story about the looniness which was the LaRouchies. One of my university friends was elected a delegate to the state Democratic convention in either 1982 or 1984. He got all sorts of junk mail. By far the most entertaining piece of literature came from the LaRouchies, and included the claim that Queen Elizabeth was a drug pusher. For years afterward, when we got together, inevitably someone would say, “Queen Elizabeth PUSHES DRUGS!” at which point we’d all dissolve in gales of laughter.
\nWhy yes, you’d be correct that I simply could not take LaRouche seriously.
\nMany years ago (1970s), I knew a Scientologist (an ex staff member, then “off-lines”) who hoped to bring about a Hubbard&LaRouche alliance, or at least a working relationship. He sent me copies of LaRouche’s ‘Executive Review’, and other publications, on a regular basis.
\nThese covered all sorts of topics, including describing the ages-long struggle between the oligarchs and the city builders, and between the followers of Plato (the good guys) and the followers of Aristotle (the bad guys) and on and on, according to LaRouche’s view of the history of the world.
\nThis fellow was quite dismayed when the LaRouche organization, in the mid 1970s, published a paper describing Hubbard as an agent of MK-Ultra, and Scientology as an MK-Ultra project. This conclusion was based on Hubbard’s 1969 PR cover-up assertion, in the ‘Times of London’, that he had been a secret agent for Naval Intelligence in the 1940s (when he “broke up a black magic group and rescued a girl.”)
\nNonetheless, this Scientologist continued with his project to somehow align the two organizations and their leaders. Ultimately, he donated his vast collection of LaRouche literature to the Delphi School in Oregon where, I suspect, it eventually ended up in a dumpster.
\nWe all know that Louis Farrakhan (to quote Marty Rathbun) “gets L. Ron Hubbard,” but imagine if Lyndon LaRouche also “got L. Ron Hubbard.”
\nThat that would be an interesting merger of cults.
\nLast but not least, compare the cowardly and paranoid cult leader Hubbard with two other cult leaders: \u00c2\u00a0(Larouche and Sun Myung Moon)<\/p>\n

And another comparison to an ideologically rigid figure who had a CULT FOLLOWING and now has a “cult following”<\/p>\n

The Psuedo-Intellectual Style in American Politics<\/a>, off of Paul Ryan and his readings of Ayn Rand.
\nRyan reminds me of another would-be politician who used a similar kind of pseudo-intellectual style to attract a small but viciously devoted following,Lyndon LaRouche. There was one thing constant in LaRouche\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s bizarre move from the authoritarian Left to the authoritarian Right: his use of impenetrable prose and technical jargon to \u00e2\u20ac\u0153prove\u00e2\u20ac\u009d his worldview. His main publications were couched as \u00e2\u20ac\u0153executive reviews\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and a magazine on the technical details of the fusion energy that would save the world. The very idea that a worldview can be \u00e2\u20ac\u0153proven\u00e2\u20ac\u009d is a telling mistake.
\nAt the risk that I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll sound like a crowd theorist of the 1950s, LaRouche\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s followers seemed like social misfits. When they lurked around airports, their opening gambits for engaging passersby in conversation tended to be insults. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Even guys with beards can be for nuclear energy,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d I remember one saying to me. Perhaps so, but not in my case. It took only a minute of conversation for him to turn contemptuous and end the conversation. An interesting way to win friends and influence people.
\nBut the LaRouchies did not expect to win many friends (and they did not). It was more important to be right, to show off a few technical terms, and to feel superior to the rush of humanity. This is almost the definition of a cult: a group isolated from its surroundings by its own self-righteousness.<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0ITEM NUMBER TWO<\/strong>. \u00c2\u00a0Obama’s aware that the majority of his support favor some variation of decriminalization or legalization of marijuana. \u00c2\u00a0I suppose there is\u00c2\u00a0some good news in Obama’s otherwise Marijuana Busting record<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0within this story of a Drug Warrior meeting, infected by the “Larouchies spread insinuation” item.<\/div>\n

A conference call organized to oppose marijuana legalization quickly went off the rails on Monday when the former head of the Drug Enforcement Administration refused to reject the suggestion that the Obama campaign is accepting contributions from drug dealers.
\n<\/em>The call’s organizers made clear that the goal was to pressure Attorney General Eric Holder to speak out against\u00c2\u00a0three state-level ballot measures that if passed, would legalize marijuana<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0But when a journalist from the Lyndon LaRouche-affiliated Executive Intelligence Review asked whether President Barack Obama had not spoken out against the ballot measures because of “reports” that\u00c2\u00a0“both\u00c2\u00a0his\u00c2\u00a02008\u00c2\u00a0and 2012 presidential campaigns have been financed in part by laundered drug money,” no one on the call spoke out against the suggestion.
\n<\/em>Peter Bensinger, who was appointed head of the DEA by President Gerald Ford and then served under Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan, simply said “I can’t speculate on the rationale” for Obama’s silence.<\/em><\/p>\n

Here’s the better headline for the story<\/a>.<\/p>\n

ITEM NUMBER THREE. \u00c2\u00a0PO Tour Time.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dateline Freeland<\/a>
\n\"\"A political group that believes civilization is on the verge of collapse became the source of turmoil in Freeland last week. […]
\nThe unidentified man and woman team quickly became the subject of public ire. Some people called them names while others accused the pair of lacking an education, said Jenny Grisewood, a Freeland resident. […]
\nAccording to Undersheriff Kelly Mauck, there were no reports of violence but the couple did call the police to complain that people were disrupting their efforts to speak to the public. An officer that was dispatched to the scene did not observe any crimes being committed.
\nMauck said that wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t the first call his office received regarding the couple. Rather, officers had been fielding calls from the general public throughout the day and earlier in the week, he said. […]
\nAccording to Larouche Political Action Committee\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s website, the group is centered on the philosophies and proposed policies of Lyndon LaRouche, who believes civilization worldwide is facing collapse.
\nCalls to the group\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Seattle office for comment Tuesday were not returned.<\/p>\n

Dateline Half Moon Bay<\/a>
\nA Wisconsin man visiting Half Moon Bay on Monday overturned a table bearing political messages that had been set up at Mac Dutra Park by supporters of Lyndon LaRouche. His alleged outburst earned him a trip to the county jail. […]<\/em>
\n\u00c2\u00a0One of the LaRouche supporters, a 78-year-old from San Francisco, was hit on the head by the plastic table when it was flipped, and he suffered an abrasion. He has pressed assault charges against his attacker.
\n<\/em>San Mateo County Sheriff\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s deputies questioned the suspect, and he admitted the attack, according to Sheriff\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s officials. He reportedly told deputies he was enraged over the Obama image. He was arrested on misdemeanor assault charges<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Dateline Hebron, Connecticut
\n<\/a>Lack said when she removed the posters, she knew she would get in trouble. Some workers with LaRouchePAC tried stopping her, but Lack wouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t back down.<\/em>
\n \u00e2\u20ac\u0153A woman was following me to the car and I put the posters in the car and I said, \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcMake sure you get my license plate.\u00e2\u20ac\u2122\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/em>
\n Lack was arrested and faces sixth-degree larceny and breach of peace charges.<\/em>
\n \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I guess I deserved it. I stole the posters,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Lack.}<\/em>
\n While Lack said she didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t expect to be arrested, she remains defiant and stands by tearing down the posters because of what they represent.<\/em>
\n \u00e2\u20ac\u0153My generation went through the Second World War, and Nazism is about the worst there can be,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Lack.<\/em>
\n If convicted, Lack could face three months behind bars and a fine. She is expected in court next week.<\/em><\/p>\n

Huffington Post comments
\n<\/a>That’s Linden LaRouch as hard core right as you can get. This guy is about the same as the Westboro baptists. Good for this lady.
\nThe cost of free speech. They are the last refuge of ?*@(:( garbage that walks and talks as an American. Cousins of the KKK, ANP, Westboro Baptist Church, and all of the other degenerates in this country.
\nAnd by arresting and prosecuting an 80 year old woman, they are really winning the popularity contest. Love it!
\nWay to Go GRANNY!!! Accost the Bigots, Attack the Liars, Don’t let ’em ruin your city….Run ’em outta town on a rail! what ever happened to the good old TAR AND FEATHERS treatment?
\nThese ignorant rubes have no idea what they’re talking about. They think if they simply compare Obama to something scary it will stick.
\nTo heck with the signs. I would have come by late at night and spray-painted a swastika on their building.
\nOK. Give her a fine, let her go so she can do it again. I would do the same thing. Fine me but, I’ll keep at it. Free speech is one thing but, this is disgusting. But, I know the consequences of doing what I know is right so I’d keep doing it and face those consequences. If more people had done that in Germany back in the 20s and 30s maybe we wouldn’t be talking about Hit_ler today.
\nI have found it to be better to just laugh at these people.
\nLaDouche crazies only want to provoke everyone. They have no other goal or point in their lives. I saw a couple of LaDouchies i\/f\/o a post office taking up half the side-walk wiht a card table and one of those Hitler ‘stash Obam posters. I grabbed it right – it was wired to the table, so I was going to rip it when they said they would call the cops, I said go ahead call them. They didn’t do anything – but just then a meter lady put a ticket on their car, which was illegally parked and the wind blew one of their stupid posters off the top of the car, a 18-20 year old Pontiac with a terrible paint job. It’s a cult – they actually think their founder is like a somebody who actually matters. What a joke.

\n<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0Those posters weren’t the only political displays with the president’s likeness targeted in Connecticut this week.
\nNBC Connecticut reported<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0that a scarecrow display featuring the faces of President Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and five other prominent Democrats \u00e2\u20ac\u201d part of an annual scarecrow contest \u00e2\u20ac\u201c was set on fire on Colchester’s town green Tuesday night<\/strong>.
\nOther displays on the green, including a Republican scarecrow group, were unharmed.<\/p>\n

More comments<\/a>:
\nHow does LaRouche\u00c2\u00a0still manage to find enough people to man his little Post Office cult meetings?
\nI didn’t even think LaRouche was still alive. \u00c2\u00a0nd can somebody tell me why the media always call him a “gadfly” rather than an “extremist”?
\nHow about Bircher? \u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0His butt-heads were running two tables outside of the massive Philly labor jamboree that Rich Trumka and Ed Hill organized in Aug to promote the Workers’ Bill of Rights. Those tables had the same Obama Hitler posters. Reminded me of how the ‘pro-life’ set turns out every labor day in Pittsburgh to greet us with third trimester abortion posters, lining up along both sides of the start of the parade route.
\nthought most of his followers under the age of 70 already jumped on the Ron Paul bandwagon years ago..
\nThe Larouche garbage is all over SF too. \u00c2\u00a0 Kudos to the woman who knew what to do with them and did it.<\/p>\n

More comments<\/a>
\nLyndon LaRouche and his followers almost make teabaggers look sane. \u00c2\u00a0Almost.
\nLaRouche Zombies are the original Paultards.
\nBut they aren’t libertarians. They’re more fascist with Lyndon as their fuhrer.
\nActually – originally LaRouche was a Marxist. It is in his bio.
\nLots of right wingers claim to have once been Marxists. That way they supposedly add validity to their fascist views. \u00c2\u00a0It’s the ‘Mussolini route’ to power.
\nI liken them more to Westboro. Their entire purpose is to stir shit up and piss people off. They’re nothing but meatspace trolls.
\nLaDouche has been running for President for like 80 years. Why won’t he just die already?
\nEvil dudes live forever. Look at Cheney.
\nYeah, but he’s like 90% robot at this point. Maybe we just need some liquid nitrogen?
\nthey are the living dead – blood suckers … and another one, that kissinger
\nIt’s easier to just run your arm over the little sidewalk tables they set up and scatter all of their stuff as you walk by. It’s also more gratifying. Luckily they aren’t around where I live now (probably due to a city ordinance against public stupidity) but when I used to live in Seattle I did this all the time.
\n“What are LaRouche’s political leanings anyway?” \u00c2\u00a0Whatever views he thinks are popular enough with the especially gullible and thus will get him enough money to continue his grift year after year, while silly, unrealistic, or downright repugnant enough to ensure that he will NEVER actually be taken seriously as a candidate. That’s his ideal sweet spot, because he avoids all of that bothersome MSM attention while still managing to haul home the money. Yes, he’s in it for the cash. Anti-semitism is a common theme, although delivered with a wink, and he also likes to draw from the most crackpot ideas of American Libertarianism. This ensures that he garners the most gullible portion of the electorate – hippy idealists who have no political acumen or understanding of how our country works, white males who were born with relative privilege and a chip on their shoulder who desperately want to believe they are victims, and virulent racists. I’d say it’s a rather clever con, except for the fact that Ron Paul does it better. \u00c2\u00a0If you think the man gives two fvcks about politics I’ve got a bridge to sell you. =) It’s all about the money.
\n\u00c2\u00a0LaR<\/strong>ouche? Wow am I embarrassed. For half a century I spelled it with a D<\/a>.
\nCan anyone say nut?
\nHm<\/a>. \u00c2\u00a0 Hm<\/a>. \u00c2\u00a0Hm<\/a>. \u00c2\u00a0Bush Hitler hypocrisy comments<\/a>. \u00c2\u00a0An<\/a>d. \u00c2\u00a0 And<\/a>. \u00c2\u00a0And<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 And<\/a>.
\nAND<\/a>. \u00c2\u00a0America is leaning toward a fascist society. Yes, Obama is a hitler type. One of the first changes Hitler made, take away their guns, one of Obamas plans. I want one of those Hitler\/Obama signs. \u00c2\u00a0(Reason: \u00c2\u00a0Gun Control — UN shit. \u00c2\u00a0Huh.)
\nGawker doesn’t disappoin<\/a>t.
\nOh Jeebus. Lyndon LaRouche is still a thing?
\nMake sure you get my license plate”, as a LaRouche supporter watched. In a nutshell.\u00c2\u00a0Tough lady; she is in no one’s binder.
\nThe mere existence of LaRouche is a breach of peace.
\nAs a 20-something, if I saw those posters, I’d remove them too\u00e2\u20ac\u201dI lived first hand through the Fast and Furious movie franchise, and that’s about the worst movie franchise there can be.
\nI Germany during WWII there were posters of Hitler with a Hitler moustache all over the place and nobody tried to steal those.
\nAh those damn LaRouche people.. nutballs, every single one of them. I can see Paullites becoming them in a few years.
\nIs LaRouche still alive, or does he have a core of nuts that soldier on despite the fact that their leader is dead?
\nWhy are there no LaRouche supporters over the age of 24? Does he give out free weed or something if you work on his campaign<\/a>?
\nprobly because they do it on the sly so no one knows who’s done it til after the damage is done … <\/a>She could have also taken the black marker and inked out the “IM” in “IMPEACH” so that it would read then “PEACH HIM,” which would have made zero sense. \ud83d\ude42 …<\/p>\n

Dateline Blanchester<\/a>: \u00c2\u00a0A 62-year-old Blanchester area man was charged after he allegedly drove his pickup truck off Wright Street, across a sidewalk and struck a table where material for the LaRouche political party was being handed out, said Blanchester Police Chief Scott Reinbolt.<\/span>\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 […]\u00c2\u00a0 The table was being manned by Hector Villarreal, 28, of Columbus, and Jenny Burns, 22, of Loveland, who listed their occupations as political organizers, Reinbolt said.
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Burns stated she had to move in order to avoid being struck by the truck,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Reinbolt said.
\nPolice could not find damage on either the truck or the table.

Dateline Manhattan<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 9\/11 — Obama Knew?\u00c2\u00a0 That’s a new one.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On my way to and from Manhattan’s West Side on Wednesday, I passed by a protest that appeared to be sponsored by the\u00c2\u00a0LaRouche PAC\u00c2\u00a0on the corner of 79th and 3rd avenue that called for President Obama to be impeached for his “criminal complicity” in the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya. There were several large signs calling for the president to be impeached or signs that alleged the president had been warned of the attacks but did nothing. Protest photos also depicted President Obama with a Hitler mustache. The protest seemed to garner a fair bit of attention — as Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement) began at sundown on Tuesday and the protest was just a block away from the prominent Jewish Temple Shaaray Tefila on 2nd Ave.<\/em><\/p>\n

Dateline Arlington Courthouse, Virginia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

Lyndon LaRouche supporters set up a table outside the Arlington Courthouse post office for four midday hours Wednesday with an adulterated poster of President Barack Obama wearing a Hitler mustache.
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I was so offended that someone would do this on the Day of Atonement,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d the holiest day of the Jewish religious calendar, said neighborhood resident Joyce Turner.
\nNicole James, one of the volunteers for the perennial presidential candidate , was unrepentant about the display on Yom Kippur. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153We go out every single day. We don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t discriminate over holidays,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d she said.
\nPassersby mostly shrugged or shook their heads.
\nNicole Gonzalez-Knowlton, pushing a baby stroller down the street, said she saw them but ignored them.
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve seen worse but I worked in politics,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d she said. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Freedom of speech, you know?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

Dateline Bainbridge Island<\/a><\/p>\n

Two supporters of Lynden LaRouche brought his extremist claims and anti-Obama rants to downtown Winslow late this week, but found few people willing to give them much attention.
\nThe supporters of LaRouche, a convicted felon and perennial fringe candidate for president, came to Bainbridge on the heels of a visit to Whidbey Island, which resulted in multiple calls to police from residents who were enraged by the group’s appearance in Freeland. […]
\nSome simply thought the LaRouche display was a joke, including a tall teenager who stopped to ask the pair if they were representing the satirical newspaper, the Onion, or television comedy shows that are based on news events.
\n“Are you guys from the Onion? The Colbert Report? The Daily Show?” the teenager asked.
\n“No? Oh. This is for real? Oooohhhh,” he said, quickly turning away. […]
\nWhen a few people did stop to talk, the pair seemed more interested in confrontation rather than conversation.
\nTheir contacts with people ended with the pair accusing passers-by of bias or ignorance. […}
\nThe LaRouche followers did find a few supporters; an elderly man stopped to share a handshake and a thumbs up, and a smiling twentysomething man driving past yelled, “Keep up the good work!”
\nThe twentysomething driver was followed by another young man in a red pickup who pulled out of the adjacent grocery store parking lot. He was not smiling.
\n“Don’t listen to them, they are full of [expletive]! It’s a bunch of lies!” he yelled.
\n“It’s a bunch of bull!” he yelled again as he drove away.
\nOthers who stopped to talk to the LaRouche followers quickly left unimpressed.<\/p>\n

Comments: \u00c2\u00a0Point: \u00c2\u00a0As much as I detest Barack Obama he is not Hitler… \u00c2\u00a0Counterpoint: \u00c2\u00a0Obama’s not too far off from that though… similar backgrounds, similar beginnings, similar philosophies… he just hasn’t gotten that far yet.

Roger Jacobs apparently reviews himself<\/a>. \u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m savoring them & going through the book slowly, so I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll give you a favorite Trace quote found early in the book from PROTECT & SERVE. Trace is in a Borders Bookstore where he encounters a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Lyndon La Rouche crowd\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. After some discussion with them he notices a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153crudely hand-lettered sign\u00e2\u20ac\u009d on their table of hand-outs. He describes the scrawl as \u00e2\u20ac\u0153down-right childlike\u00e2\u20ac\u009d & he wonders dryly, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Why doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t political activism attract calligraphers?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Why indeed?<\/p>\n

Dateline Ellsworth<\/a>, Maine.
\nThe signs were erected by supporters of the political extremist and many-times unsuccessful presidential candidate Lyndon LaRouche. Public reaction to the images ranged from shocked outrage to sympathetic support.
\nAt least one woman driving past was angry enough to raise her middle finger at the man and woman manning the table; others stopped by to make a donation to the LaRouche Political Action Committee. Some people just shook their heads.
\nThe signs calling for Obama\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s removal from office were taped to a folding table set up on the sidewalk in front of the post office. The two LaRouche supporters would not give their names and said they were not allowed to make comments to the press<\/p>\n

AND<\/a>
\nLarouche is a widely known conspiracy theorist and economic forecaster and is head of the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Larouche Movement,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d a fringe political cult of personality. […]
\nThere were no complaints in Orono and Old Town, but by noon Tuesday police in Ellsworth had received two calls about the activists. Officer Andrew Weatherbee told the two protesters that they could not stop traffic or block the sidewalks, but that was the extent of police interaction.[…]
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s absolutely fair to compare Barack Obama to Hitler,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d she said. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The guy is a power-hungry, evil person, who hates humanity.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d
\nWhen pushed for specifics about how the president compared to the architect of the Holocaust and the chief belligerent of World War II, Vullo said only that Obama \u00e2\u20ac\u0153has the same mindset as Hitler.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d
\nVullo also said that Obama is a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153puppet of the British Empire, including the Queen,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and that Larouche PAC fears the president will ignite \u00e2\u20ac\u0153World War III\u00e2\u20ac\u009d with his British conspirators.
\nIn Ellsworth, a few self-proclaimed Romney voters eagerly chatted with the activists and signed up to join the PAC. They were handed a one-page document printed on both sides calling for Obama\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s impeachment, with the title \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Obama and his crew covered up the assassination of Ambassador Stevens.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d […]
\nThe Larouche PAC is a liberal organization that regularly channels money to a handful of Democratic candidates for office. It has raised $4.7 million this election cycle,\u00c2\u00a0according to the Center for Responsive Politics\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 website opensecrets.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Please note that the LaRouche cult organization is in no way, shape or form a liberal organization and merely parasitically uses the Democratic Party as a vehicle for promoting their extremist politics. Campaign donations are to dedicated LaRouche activists only and some LaRouche candidates have been disavowed by local Democratic Parties for thuggish and highly questionable fringe behaviors. Additionally, the vast majority of\u00c2\u00a0LaRouche PAC money goes to administrative overhead and not candidates.
\nTrue I first ran into this group 40 years ago and they swing from left spectrum to right, whichever they feel they can make the most money from at the moment. Avoid this crew.
\nLarouchies are on a spectrum of their own making
\nYou want truth? Simply replace the “r” in Larouche with a “d”.
\nPolitics does make strange bedfellows but those people are even a little strange for my taste.<\/p>\n

Dateline Michigan State<\/a>. \u00c2\u00a0 My polling place is at a Methodist church between my house and my school so I’ll vote on election day. Plus it’s entertaining dealing with the LaRouche folks outside the building
\nLarouche still has followers? Isn’t he some conspiracy nut that is so crazy that you can’t even pin him down as being left or right but is more right? He’s like Alex Jones before there was an internet.
\nThey’re always on campus and at polling stations here; he must have a (relatively) large group of followers in the state, and they’re often bussed from state to state. I’ve been seeing the same handful of them for years, to the point I know their names
\nYeah. They would make sporadic appearances on State’s campus. And they’d always set up on Farm Lane or behind Wells making it difficult to avoid them.<\/p>\n

ITEM NUMBER FOUR. \u00c2\u00a0Media and Pitches and Insults<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Left increasingly reminds me of a couple\u00c2\u00a0LaRouchies<\/em>\u00c2\u00a0I once encountered<\/a>.
\nToday’s Paulastineans are a lot like yesterday’s\u00c2\u00a0LaRouchies<\/em>. Lots of noise, no votes<\/a>.
\nPlease don’t bring the Larouchies in on this. If they were clocks, they’d be the kind that had a bird come out of them periodically<\/a>.
\nA pitch to the Peninsulate FL Tea Party<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Interview from 1976.<\/a> \u00c2\u00a0Wrong about everything. \u00c2\u00a0That was Equal Time for All Candidates Theater. \u00c2\u00a0The one thing about the slide of that is that now we’re just stuck with … Patrick Timone interviews.
\nLyndon\u00c2\u00a0LaRouche\u00c2\u00a0gave an interview to Patrick Timpone on One Radio Network<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0Mr. LaRouche joined us this morning for an explosive interview on Obama, the threat of nuclear war and why the Queen of England reigns supreme. The first 5 minutes gets us thinking about the upcoming election and our current \u00e2\u20ac\u0153impeachable\u00e2\u20ac\u009d President. He has us wondering if buying a gas mask and heading for the closest cave may just be a good idea<\/em>.
\nOr, Harley Schlanger<\/a>.
\nSchlanger himself made a run for the U.S. Senate in 1990, receiving 250,000 votes in the\u00c2\u00a0Texas Democratic primary.
\nGold Radio Cafe on September 28th.
\nAlso take note of his Dr Deagel appearances.<\/p>\n

Hm<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0Hm<\/a>.
\nRajiva\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s revelations are important because they blow apart the myth of the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Ron Paul revolution\u00e2\u20ac\u009d as a grassroots movement, and confirm Paul\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s close ties with elite globalist financial concerns. In fact, Lyndon Larouche\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Executive Intelligence Review (cited by Rajiva) implied a direct link between Libertarian circles and the Rockefeller and Rothschild, the very elites whose domination they claim to abhor!
\n<\/em>And yet, Harley Schlanger\u00c2\u00a0recently suggested to some Ron Paul supporters the org may endorse him “if”.<\/em><\/p>\n

The campaign continues<\/a>.
\n“Should give him pause that the Larouchies support Glass Steagall, btw.”<\/a>. \u00c2\u00a0Yeah. \u00c2\u00a0The problem with this cult.
\nno political safe haven, just as I don’t want Lyndon\u00c2\u00a0Larouche, the KKK or the erstwhile members of the White Aryan Resistance to have on<\/a>e.
\nToo much LaRouche makes you blind…
\n<\/em>Wrong again deadbeat. LaRouche is toxic and hates our school of thought. I have already been through this with you over 10 times.
\n<\/em>Funny, I never remember you being to the fore debating with LaRoushytes on the site, especially when they were throwing wild accusations of genocide around like confetti. In fact, you supported them, to the best of my recollection, just like you support any wackiness when it suits you.
\n<\/em>BTW, “our school of thought” sounds like a fancy name for a cult. In it certainly not one that encourages critical thinking.<\/em><\/p>\n

Francisco \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Kit\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Tatad, an advisor of former Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos, a Senator, a long-standing friend of LaRouche, and more recently an advisor to current Vice President Binay, was a speaker at the Rhodes conference, as was Helga Zepp LaRouche. In his regular column in the Manila Standard today, Tatad quoted Halga on the danger of war driven by the collaps of the financial system:
\nThe accelerating collapse of the transatlantic system is exerting such intense pressure on the dynamic driving the danger of war that humanity could crash into a brick wall, the global activist Helga Zepp-La Rouche told the closing session of the Dialogue<\/a>.
\non Paul Ryan workout photographs<\/a>: \u00c2\u00a0He looks like a complete and total LaRouche-bag. A moron. A Mittwit. A buffoon.
\nDisaffected, probably troller, message board poster to Democratic Underground: \u00c2\u00a0Have fun with your symbolic write-in vote for Hillary\/Paul\/Johnson\/Forbes\/LaRouche\/Pattinson or whoever.<\/a>..
\n“The AK Files”: \u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0I’m not a big LaRouche fan , but the comment towards the end about Obummer being certifiabley insane was precious<\/a>.
\nAdvice upon seeing Gary Johnson supporters<\/a>. \u00c2\u00a0You just need to learn mockery.\u00c2\u00a0“Gary Johnson is too mainstream, I’m voting for Lyndon LaRouche.”
\nOn Libertarians<\/a>… over my lifetime the Libertarians have always attracted the fringe element , the worst being when the scoundrel Lyndon LaRouche declared himself one even though he formed a different fringe party .<\/p>\n

KGAB AM 650: \u00c2\u00a0Cheyenne, Wyoming’s Larouchie station<\/a>: \u00c2\u00a0At 7:37AM MDT, political pundit Harley Schlanger will be talking about Obama and his crew covering up the assassination of Ambassador Stevens<\/em>.\u00c2\u00a0 Schlanger sold the SGT Report on Larouche<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 Gets us the “youtube slow playing conspiracy” comments.

ITEM NUMBER FIVE. \u00c2\u00a0Kesha Rogers Campaign update.<\/strong><\/p>\n

All Candidate Get Together<\/a>.
\nIt was a lot of fun and very informative. I bet that some people were surprised when Kesha Rogers started out with \u00e2\u20ac\u0153we have to get rid of Obama\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. Or when the Green Party candidates seemed downright reasonable and authentic, clearly articulating that we all have common goals as citizens.<\/em><\/p>\n

Harris County Conservative Politics
\n<\/a>How about who didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t show up instead? Out of thirty-one candidates running for U.S. Representative in nine different races, only one showed up. Kesha Rogers who says she is a LaRouche Democrat. She stated she is a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Patriot and wants Obama gone\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m sure she picked up\u00c2\u00a0some votes that night.\u00c2\u00a0She reminded me of Democrat plant Republican Carl Pittman who managed to hood wink the Tea Party with select words. Words worth votes are Patriot, Constitution, freedom, second amendment and so on.<\/em>\u00c2\u00a0Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t fall for it; her second point was \u00e2\u20ac\u0153investing\u00e2\u20ac\u009d which always means your tax dollars at work.\u00c2\u00a0Mama always said you can go to Hell just as fast for lying as stealing<\/em>. Having $931.00 to Pete Olson\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s $151,750.00 won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t take her far<\/p>\n

“Just Say not to Kesha<\/a>“.<\/p>\n

We here in the Fighting 22nd<\/sup>\u00c2\u00a0as Texas Congressional District 22 is lovingly referred to by some have experienced The Kesha before. She was the nominee in 2010 also and got trounced. In that election\u00c2\u00a0I wrote a blog post<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0about how to vote a straight Democratic ticket and then go back and deselect Kesha Rogers. So I was mildly amused to read in the KHOU piece that \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Democratic activists considered launching a campaign telling people to vote against her, but they worried confused voters might cast ballots against other Democratic candidates with similar names.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d […]<\/em>
\n And so again I am casting my NO on Kesha vote by deselecting her from my straight Democratic vote. Heck, this year I might go ahead and vote for the Green Party candidate.<\/em><\/p>\n

More<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Rogers\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 name appears on the ballot this year for the second consecutive election year, representing the Democratic Party in a solidly Republican congressional district.\u00c2\u00a0 Her chance of winning office is almost non-existent in the district once represented by Republican stalwart Tom DeLay.\u00c2\u00a0 Only a jaw-dropping political miracle would allow her to defeat incumbent U.S. Rep. Pete Olson.<\/em>
\nHer presence on the ballot is a distracting embarrassment for local Democratic Party leaders, who\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve had a hard time recruiting candidates to make a long shot run for Congress in the district.<\/em>
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Kesha wants attention,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Steve Brown, the chairman of the Ft. Bend County Republican Party.\u00c2\u00a0 \u00e2\u20ac\u0153She\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s looking for a platform to advance the LaRouche campaign, to try to impeach our president.\u00c2\u00a0 Obviously, she\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not an electable candidate.\u00c2\u00a0 Unfortunately, we can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t seem to get rid of her in Fort Bend County.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d […]<\/em>
\nBut her anti-Obama message resonated with voters in her district.\u00c2\u00a0 Drivers seeing the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153impeach Obama\u00e2\u20ac\u009d signs and banners held aloft by her supporters honked their horns, yelled encouragement and took pictures with their cell phones.\u00c2\u00a0 Every few minutes, one of them pulled over and picked up some literature.<\/em>
\nRogers isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t at all surprised.<\/em>
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153No,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d she said\u00c2\u00a0\u00e2\u20ac\u0153More people realize what\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s at stake for the nation right now and they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re looking for leadership.\u00c2\u00a0 And they want to know what\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s going on.\u00c2\u00a0 They want to know who has answers.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0ITEM NUMBER SIX: \u00c2\u00a0Conspiracy Theorists versus the Larouche Cult.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Conspiracy Theorist poking holes at Princess Diane conspiracy theories.<\/a>
\nWhile the inane ranting\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s from La Rouche and his underling Jeff Steinberg concerning Philip being the central organizer of a number of genocides (with utterly no evidence) destroyed the credibility of the report.<\/em>
\nThis is a real problem for Steinberg. On one hand he can come out with some okay stuff, as seen in Part XII, I linked one of his better articles on the Diana case which discussed an odd series of break ins of prominent photograph distributors in the aftermath of Spencer\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s death. But he consistently undermines his own material and that of others by going off on any number of tangents.<\/em>
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153The Coming Fall of the House of Windsor\u00e2\u20ac\u009d is a case in point. If one can ignore the underlying paranoia, there are some four or so useful articles by Linda de Hoyos x2, Joseph Brewda and Allen Douglas in the publication, outlining the many contradictions and problems inherent in having Royalty and captains of commerce become involved in environmental issues between pages 24-39.<\/em>
\nIndeed, this sort of problem has since been highlighted by the King of Spain being booted out of the Spanish WWF for going on an elephant hunt (9<\/em>).<\/p>\n

Scientology, Larouche, and Jerry Garcia<\/a>!
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

Putting aside the more obvious tactics of Wiley Coyote conspiracy theory websites, books, movies and other assorted propaganda mediums, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d have to say that one of the worst dirty tricks that I have seen, would have to be the very few sources that give you close to the real information. One of those sources that I have repeatedly run into whenever I get onto what I call \u00e2\u20ac\u0153the real trail\u00e2\u20ac\u009d of what\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s what \u00e2\u20ac\u201c is the IHR (the Institute for Historical Review) and Lyndon LaRouche.<\/em>
\nHe, and the very few other sources like him, are what I call the last bastion against any truly serious researcher who is on their ass historically.<\/em>
\nThe dirty trick is, that La Rouche loads up a serious amount of truth in his writings. For example, his writings will correctly peg various British men and women, and their role in this \u00e2\u20ac\u0153dominate the world\u00e2\u20ac\u009d agenda. This truth-loading, as I call it, is meant to seriously mind-fuck any erstwhile researcher, and (they hope) cause the outright lies and actual agenda (that is always there as well) to \u00e2\u20ac\u0153go down easier\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.<\/em>
\nA cliff, if you will \u00e2\u20ac\u201c to follow them over. […]<\/em>
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll give you a hint. The absolute hysterical hatred still directed at President\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Jackson and Jefferson is literally a dead giveaway. These men literally cannot talk about Jackson without insulting him one way or another. But this book, THIS book went into an absolute tirade about how these two men had stopped the wonderful plan for America<\/strong>that of course\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6LaRouche was now trying to sell a new generation of Americans on!<\/em>
\nI laughed my ass off, when I saw that, because man, that is one hell of a cliff of reason Larouche just tried to sell people to jump off.
\nAnd what was<\/strong> this cliff of wonderfulness we were supposed to leap off of? What was this fabulously great plan based on? Oh yea. It was Plato and his hierarchy of souls<\/strong>, (peasants have BRONZE souls) and how \u00e2\u20ac\u0153they\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (the enlightened such as Franklin and Hamilton) planned to elevate all Americans to their level of \u00e2\u20ac\u0153gold souls\u00e2\u20ac\u009d!!!!<\/em>
\nTheir level?<\/em>
\nHamilton was the man who installed the British\/Netherlands control of America<\/strong>\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s finances <\/strong>through the First Bank of The United States!<\/em>
\nOh yeah, now there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a man to emulat<\/em>e.<\/p>\n

WW3 “A Minor Disagreement”<\/a>.<\/p>\n

ITEM NUMBER SEVEN. \u00c2\u00a0“Why We Left” fallout observations.<\/p>\n

John Buchan asks<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 Where is the PDF of EIR for July 22nd 2011?
\nAs far as I can see, Alicia never became editor of EIR. But notice that, in Orwellian fashion, the only COMPLETE issue of EIR that you cannot get hold of from the archive is… July 22nd 2011. Did her name appear as ‘editor’ that day? Anyone know? The preceding and following issues have the usual Nancy Spannaus has editor – Alicia is not even mentioned on the editorial board, just the usual hopeless ‘boomers.’ The disappearance of Alicia is worrying – in Scientology, she would have been consigned to the Hole along with Heber Jentsch et al. Or maybe subjected to a Lisa McPherson ‘treatment.’ Where is she?<\/p>\n
