I.\u00c2\u00a0 I’ve had a couple conversations regarding Larouche.\u00c2\u00a0 One, a guy who grew up in The Bronx telling me that round about ’99, he was 14, and they were recruiting in his neighborhood by handing out vhs tapes.\u00c2\u00a0 Excited by their pitch for “Socialism” (which he seemed to think was still what they’d be pitching), his mom had to break it to him and direct him to talk to his grandparent — retired cop.\u00c2\u00a0 [Interesting, as this may suggest a first hand account on “Operation Mop Up” as opposed to white collar trials of the 80s].
\nFrom this, I’m suggesting that you can’t claim him as part of a “red – brown alliance<\/a>“.\u00c2\u00a0 On the surface, they convinced my anecdotal example they were anti-globalization socialists.\u00c2\u00a0 It was a ruse (when aiming for mass recruits, they tended to trek left — didn’t they?), unlike the\u00c2\u00a0world viewpoints of your (however much you want to tint them as “brown or “beige”, and whatever detestable or disgusting characteristics they had\/have ) Ron Paul, Pat Buchanan… David Duke, Willis Carto…<\/p>\n

Trying to make sense of this, of why a fascist organization would be opposing U.S. military expansionism
\n<\/em>This\u00c2\u00a0one dimensional view of the political spectrum depresses me.\u00c2\u00a0 I think the line for your David Dukes was “Bring the troops home, and put them on the Mexican border” — one follows the other.<\/p>\n

II.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0Throw this board comment<\/a> into the hopper, if tangeantally to<\/a> “Justice for Jeremiah Duggan<\/a>“.<\/p>\n

As for the Death of Jeremiah it seems very mysterious. I did experience a young recruit from Denmark undergo a total personality change after being at another cardre school in Wiesbaden, Germany around 2012. He attended a weekend there, after which he agreed to spend a week in the Stuttgart local with Petraeus and Benjamin Lilloff, after which he arrived in Berlin acting very strange, unresponsive, staring at the wall, as if he had been drugged. He seemed angry and started shouting and said to one Larouchie that he will have to kill him, causing the Larouchie to run out of the room. Others pinned him down, and called the police to take him away, to eventually let him go back to Denmark, presumably to his home. Before the police arrived he kept repeating ‘I love God, I love God, I love God…’<\/em>
\n All this was explained away by saying how some in the Berlin office think that Benjamin and Petraeus are a bit weird and act like cultists. All that Benjamin and Petraeus had to say about it was to claim that he was a stoner hooked on weed and was experiencing the withdrawal effects of not taking any for one week, when of anything he seemed out of it on drugs. Benjamin is Danish also and may have got into his head somehow using behavioural psychology and drugs. This experience reminded me of what had happened to Jeremiah in that he acted out of character in a negative way which seems to be what happens to Jeremiah at the very least, from psychological bullying if not physical bullying from maybe a small group of people, especially when he didn’t want to join<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Anyone else notice the headline for Larouche’s EIR… “Justice for the World”.\u00c2\u00a0 Can’t be a coincidence.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s in their head.\u00c2\u00a0 (“Their” being whoever it is that is running that outfit these days, typos proliferating over the past few years on to where we have today “Mueller” as “Muller”.)<\/p>\n

III.\u00c2\u00a0 Metaphorically, it’s crazy not to believe the world’s not run by Intelligent Lizard People.\u00c2\u00a0 Where you go from there in fleshing out any details, you’ll run into problems immediately.\u00c2\u00a0 I also think you can probably refer to any politico betraying false promises as the anti-Christ.
\nAlice Walker.\u00c2\u00a0 David Icke<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 (Haven’t read the Icke piece in question, so don’t know where he goes on it.)
\nI probably shouldn’t post that here, as I imagine the Larouche org now making a bee-line to shake Alice Walker for some shinglings.\u00c2\u00a0 Interesting, as she seemed to feel the need to hedge a bit in prefacing the work of Zora Neele Hurston — rolling her eyes as she did at some of her fellow Harlem Renaissancers as they made their way to tour Soviet Russia, and who had some acidic comments on Brown vs Board of Education ruling.\u00c2\u00a0 (Which, in truth, prefigured some Black opposition to busing).\u00c2\u00a0 Sometime in the future, someone will be writing a foreword to Alice Walker and have to hem and haw at a seemingly random fluctuation to David Icke?
\nAlex Jones was maybe more discriminating (if you’re going to gauge some judgements).\u00c2\u00a0 “Turd in the conspiracy theory punch-bowl” — singling out the one memorable feature of David Icke’s worldview that’s memorable and which people will tend to agree — the “Lizard People run the world” theme.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 Though, he eventually had him on.\u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0As he had on Larouche a few years’ back.
\nSometime back, in writing on the recent turns of Larouche, someone posited him as having been a darling guest on alt-right media.\u00c2\u00a0 (Never quite sure the term “alt – right” has much meaning, but that’s another story).\u00c2\u00a0 Not aware of anything other than Alex Jones, who — it should be noted — hasn’t had anyone from the org back lately…
\nMore to the point, from what I can tell, looking about to see what Alex Jones has said about the death of the man.\u00c2\u00a0 Here’s what I’ve found<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 Point it to me if there is more.<\/p>\n

THE post-death exit interview with Lyndon Larouche<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 Chapo Trap House.<\/p>\n

IV.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0Chuck Fager on his history with the org<\/a>, where he uncovers the identity of Lyn Marcus, and talks to his parents.\u00c2\u00a0 Larouche goes apeshit, and after a melee of sorts…<\/p>\n

And the upshot, as an employee to Congressman Pete McCloskey…
\nBut in 1980, after more than a year of this effort, I got an unexpected call from the boss\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s office:\u00c2\u00a0report here ASAP,\u00c2\u00a0said McCloskey\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s chief of staff,\u00c2\u00a0There\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s something you need to explain.
\nThis sounded like trouble. And it was, but it did not involve shipping cartels. Instead, it was a stunning accusation: that I was a Kremlin spy, a KGB mole. And with it was a blast from the past.
\nIt was a new experience, sitting with a Member of Congress, explaining to him that I was not now, and never had been a KGB mole.
\nBut the accusation was there, in a sheaf of professionally printed papers, titled an intelligence \u00e2\u20ac\u0153dossier\u00e2\u20ac\u009d circulated among the 500-plus congressional offices on Capitol Hill by a group called the National Democratic Policy Committee (NDPC). I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d never heard of it. Yet, I reminded myself, KGB spies in the U.S., especially federal employees, often wound up in jail.<\/em>
\nIt didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t take long to figure out that this document was a LaRouche production, and the NDPC one of his stream of front groups.<\/em><\/p>\n

It was brief<\/a>: the FBI had reviewed their files and had found\u00c2\u00a0nothing\u00c2\u00a0that implicated me in any of the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153dossier\u00e2\u20ac\u009d allegations. McCloskey gave me a copy, which I framed, and hung on my man cave wall. (After all, how many other people do you know who have a letter personally signed by the FBI Director saying the Bureau has\u00c2\u00a0no evidence<\/strong>\u00c2\u00a0they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re a KGB mole? But after my several moves, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s now somewhere in a box of other personally important documents. I should hunt it down; after all, you never know . . .)<\/em><\/p>\n

And he moves on to encountering the senior Lyndon Larouche in church services… preaching the evils of cremation to souls who have cremated their loved ones.<\/p>\n

V.\u00c2\u00a0 Dateline Seattle.\u00c2\u00a0 One thought about this<\/a>… we now have the first instance where someone might encounter them (here in Seattle) and offer the standard “Lyndon Larouche?\u00c2\u00a0 He’s still alive?” — where the answer is “Nope”.\u00c2\u00a0 But… the zombie org marches on.<\/p>\n

I was hoping not to see these idiots anymore since he died. I don’t know why I was so naive.<\/em>
\nWell who are we to question the LaRouche Science Research Team?<\/em>
\nI just spent 30 minutes looking up it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s\u00c2\u00a0leader. He\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s kind of like what you would imagine if L. Ron. Hubbard would have been like if he had chosen a life of politics instead of religion.<\/em>
\nI’ve noticed a correlation between people who say ___ is the Holocaust and actual Holocaust denial.<\/em>
\n I have a feeling she would be like that.<\/em>
\nLyndon LaRouche just passed away, with nary a mention in the news.<\/em>
\nProbably because he is completely irrelevant unless you are a maniac.<\/em><\/p>\n

Worth positing:\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0The figure of scorn is, politically, a good one.\u00c2\u00a0 Her “New Green Deal” was launched with a decimal point error “factor of ten” problem.\u00c2\u00a0 The Nation could only deflect away to the bigger fancifulness of her Republican “climate change” denier” cohorts.\u00c2\u00a0 But — I can’t help but look at OSC and see someone involved in a “fringe” political cast outside of the Democratic party who primaried the establishment at a young age — or… a more viable variant of the supposed “LYM” candidates who aren’t going anywhere.<\/p>\n

VI.\u00c2\u00a0 Diane Sare (will she be the Larouche presidential candidate in 2024?) seems to not understand the practicality of the news media outlets filing away the obituaries of notables for quick issuance upon their death.\u00c2\u00a0 How the hell else is this supposed to work?
\nAnyway… she threw the guantlet.\u00c2\u00a0 Time for <\/a>letters to the e<\/a>ditor to tel<\/a>l the tr<\/a>ut<\/a>h.<\/p>\n

What a loss for humanity. He spoke at a conference in 1988, in the midst of a political prosecution similar in striking respects to that which we encounter against an American president in the U.S. today. He said if we think of our lives not as things which are lived for pleasure in and of themselves, but as an opportunity to fulfill a purpose, a purpose which is reflected in what we bequeath to those hundreds of billions of souls waiting to be born.<\/em><\/p>\n

If it’s true that Larouche’s words are now going to be turned into Scripture, they do need to force some kind of Nicene Council to pull together the inconsistencies, as well figure out political stances: are they still for quarantining HIV patients?<\/p>\n

Normally, this is a pretty good local paper<\/a>, with fairly reliable and fair coverage of local government and local events of concern or interest to folks in the county.
\n<\/em>The kind of local parochial which focuses in on the community, where we can get the latest dates and notices for the Leesburg Garden Club…
\n<\/em>It must therefore have struck more than a few discerning readers, that the obituary did little but dust off long-stale lies devised by LaRouche\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s enemies, pasted together selected pieces of purportedly \u00e2\u20ac\u0153objective fact\u00e2\u20ac\u009d with a few buzz words, in yet another effort to convince readers that LaRouche was just a paranoid tangle of incoherence and his life, and passing, therefore insignificant.What would lead the editor to do so? Was it some personal grudge? an attempt to show that local\u00c2\u00a0Loudoun Nowcan sit at the table with big guys like the\u00c2\u00a0Washington Postor\u00c2\u00a0New York Times that continue their decades-long effort to obfuscate LaRouche\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s actual ideas and accomplishments? A signal, maybe, that Loudoun Now can be counted on by the likes of Robert Mueller\u00e2\u20ac\u201da major player in the notoriously corrupt federal prosecution of LaRouche in the 1980s\u00e2\u20ac\u201das new efforts get underway to stop LaRouche\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s national and global renaissance programs from gaining further traction?<\/em><\/p>\n

[…]<\/em> LaRouche\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s voluminous writings<\/strong> on physical economy, science, statecraft, history, and culture, available on his movement\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s websites, speak to its origins.<\/em> Dread fills us all who pursue the “voluminous writings”.<\/p>\n

Rebuttal from Molly Kronberg here<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 Specific to one, but could cover any and all of the “Letter to the Editor” campaign.<\/p>\n

VII.\u00c2\u00a0 Round up<\/a> of what the People<\/a> wer<\/a>e sayi<\/a>ng…<\/p>\n

If he has a grave it will probably be well-fertilized with human and canine offerings.<\/em>
\n That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s kinda\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 too bad because it would also be a good place to dance.<\/em>
\nGreat, he was the last person standing between Queen Elizabeth and total world domination. \u00c2\u00a0We are so fucked.<\/em>
\nWow! \u00c2\u00a0Hadn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t thought of him for a while. \u00c2\u00a0I didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know the thing about opera. \u00c2\u00a0As a musician, it occurs to me that he may not have known that lowering the soprano part might just make it impossible for the bass to sing\u00c2\u00a0his\u00c2\u00a0part. \u00c2\u00a0Yeah, that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s just nit picky as hell but it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s where my mind went when I read it. \u00c2\u00a0Oh, and why did I not know about this Queen fixation? \u00c2\u00a0That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a real hoot!<\/em><\/p>\n

While I despised everything about LaRouche\u00e2\u20ac\u201dwhose lawyers I laughed out of my office when they threatened\u00c2\u00a0to sue the alternative newspaper where I was editor\/publisher because we called him an anti-semite\u00e2\u20ac\u201dI always loved one of the bumperstickers the man\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s pitiful acolytes pushed along with fusion power at\u00c2\u00a0their airport propaganda tables: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Nuke the Whales.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d It perfectly sums\u00c2\u00a0up what LaRouchism is all about.<\/em>
\n With his passing, I suppose the\u00c2\u00a0acolytes old and new will transform his writings into scripture.<\/em><\/p>\n

So much for his 2020 campaign.<\/em>
\nAnyway, rest in something, or rot in something, Lyndon.<\/em>
\nAbout eight years ago a couple LaRouche-ite cult followers were outside a local drugstore near me, with a rather extreme racist anti- Obama sign, (the witch doctor photo) collecting money.<\/em>
\n I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m in my 50\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s, and these two were mid 30\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s. They had a 18 year old spellbound in their speech when I walk up.<\/em>
\n I said \u00e2\u20ac\u0153oh, did they let LaRouche out of prison?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d And started to razz them about LaRouche\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s criminal convictions and prison sentences for finance violations, mail fraud, etc in the 1990\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s.<\/em>
\n The poor 18 year old kid had no idea. O guess they don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t teach kids history at all these days when it comes to historically evil criminal candidates of the past. The poor kid wanted to erase his name from the petition he just signed after I told him about LaRouche\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s past run ins with the law, cult following, etc. the two LaRouchettes were livid I was telling the kid LaRouche\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s history. It wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t a pretty sight.<\/em>
\nThis is an over the top way to launch a 2020 campaign<\/em>
\nLike I say- I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m glad to know he won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t by preying on children any more.<\/em><\/p>\n

I said in 1980<\/a>, “The man is a walking SNL sketch.” Four years later there he was on SNL, played by Randy Quaid.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Etc<\/a> etc<\/a> etc<\/a> etc <\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 Back to Illinois 1986<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 Etc<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 Cracked<\/a>.
\n<\/a>One or two small probems with this one<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 Here<\/a>…
\nShort podcast<\/a>.<\/p>\n

His PAC described him as a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153philosopher, scientist, poet, statesman\u00e2\u20ac\u009d who died on the birthday of President Abraham Lincoln, whom he celebrated in his writings<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

In defense of a One World Government<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Reading the political rags: The National Review chimed in with appropriately partisan lobs at the left.\u00c2\u00a0 We can expect Reason’s print edition to have something — though it may just reprise what’s on their website.\u00c2\u00a0 Other than the Jacobin at the furthest left (unless we get into the Revolutionary Communist Party’s paper), I don’t see much from that direction — but The National Review pointedly rounds up some obituaries in bullet point fashion, and he’s not relevant enough for the likes of The Nation or In These Times to spring out at him.\u00c2\u00a0 Further afield… I suspect The Fortean Times will have something.<\/p>\n

VIII.\u00c2\u00a0 Some more stray comments — most important items from which posted over here<\/a> —<\/p>\n

John Goras<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0<\/span>Around 2005, a bunch of LaRouche’s people were out, protesting Bush\/Iraqi War. I threw them some shekels for the F of it and took some of their lit. What really grabbed my attention was the harping of Hugh Hefner as a promoter of the LGBTetc. movement, took me another 12 years or so to find the work of Jay Dyer, E Micheal Jones and thekelly. Like Alex Jones, LaRouche was a gateway.<\/em><\/p>\n

Chatkin avoids discussing the role of the Jew, in favor of blaming the BRC.<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
One has to consider how much Eustace Mullins and also Larouche and Tarpley owed to the work of Ezra Pound. The original and still in some ways most powerful “alt” thinker.<\/em><\/div>\n
Noteworthy on Ezra Pound: at the end of his cantos, he apologizes for his “alt thinking” that marked some of his middle verses — you know, the love for Mussolini and denunciation of the jews.
\nIs this the definition of “alt thinking”?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It’s incredible: Webster Tarpley is the most mendacious pseudo historian I’ve seen, beyond crazy, a man that is pretty confident in the ignorance of his audience<\/em><\/div>\n
Yeah, according to this people, the british crown, a wedding cake figurine, a puppet of the political-financial elite, is the master puppeteer of this world. Hiarious, only laughable. One time I heard Tarpley giving a conference about the lutheran revolt: according to the clown, Luther and the whole mayhem caused by him, as well as the Catholic response, especially Saint Igbatius, all of it was a play by a Cardinal Contarini, some type of demigod of the fifteenth century… Insane, over the top, remarcably crazy<\/em><\/div>\n

IX.\u00c2\u00a0 An odd documentary<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0(if documentary is the term) — the most noteworthy part is right at the start with Roger Stone offering praise for Larouche (“railroaded by Bush”.)\u00c2\u00a0 And here I reprise the question I had on Alex Jones…
\n… The relationship over?\u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0Stone now never going to say the word “Larouche” ever again?<\/p>\n

X.\u00c2\u00a0 Some odds and ends…<\/p>\n

Like Dugin, Glazyev supports the convergence of left and right-wing ideas in the service of an illiberal geopolitical agenda, which often converge with older networks organized around the late fascist agitator and crank Lyndon LaRouche, who built a worldwide cult following based on conspiracy theories, economic doom, anti-Semitism, homophobia and racism. LaRouche network activists at the conferences have included Webster Tarpley and William Engdahl<\/a>.<\/em>……<\/p>\n

One good result of Tuesday\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s special election is that the public won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t accept racism, including connections to anti-Semitism and hate for Israel from the alt-right fringe groups growing in Queens and Manhattan, the way they accept nationally from the alt-left.\u00c2\u00a0 Republicans and Conservatives have rejected the racist overtones and questionable leadership of a few wannabe politicians who use social media to espouse threats, personal attacks and lies.<\/a><\/em>
\nTheir candidate of choice raised no money, received no endorsements from respected public figures and he came in with under 1% of the vote.\u00c2\u00a0 This is what happens when you choose to support the Lyndon LaRouche PAC, The Schiller Institute and align yourself with Neo-Nazis and hate groups<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

XI.\u00c2\u00a0 Early rumblings <\/a>of the “where’s the body” conspiracy<\/a> theory<\/p>\n

Also NB: or should that be N Morte: I find it hard to believe LL is still alive in his late 90s+ this may be simple lar to the rather suspicious death date given by Scientology Inc.\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s house doctor for former SF writer turned creator of a religion \u00e2\u20ac\u0153because thats where the money is\u00e2\u20ac\u009d say many who heard him discussing plan to turn novel into Dianetics, the wealthy , er, religion\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Bible, a rewrite as truth of Slaves of Sleep, the late Harlan Ellison has writ on many occasions, including a note in Dangerous Visiobs, SF anthology<\/em><\/p>\n

AND NOW THE POINT OF THIS RAMBLE: LL made campaign commercials each time he ran for president, all consisting of the candidate seated in a leather English Men\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Club chair, in front of a rather impressive looking home library rambling for 15-30 minutes, leading the viewer to come away with the feeling he was claiming Queen Elizabeth II and family were Iewish, and conspiring with other Jews to flood US streets wit heroin. Also, falsely, that he had recently met with, and advised(implying their support) of dozens of world leaders. This material, probably in the overptotected vaults of the Museum of Radio and Television, would be wonderful to show the quadrennial shift in the man\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s views, and why he attracted so many for llowers, including a schizophrenic cousin of mine. Also, editor\/authors seem to have missed out nature of the case that led to prison: LL\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s minions working airports and other sites would talk people into making small cr d card donations to, usually the Fusion Foundation, then, especially if donors were elderly, invent and submit fraudulent cred card slips for donations several orders of magnitude larger, again, if memory serves.<\/em><\/p>\n

Lyndon LaRouche, Right-wing<\/a> conspiracy theorist who believed the Queen was a global drug-trafficker and who ran for US president eight times<\/em><\/p>\n

Barking. \u00c2\u00a0He should have been in the British House of Lords.<\/em><\/p>\n

I though the Queen was a 14 foot lizard<\/em><\/p>\n

There are competing theories.<\/em><\/p>\n

This guy was a real piece of work<\/a>. Far brighter than Donald Trump, LaRouche ended up qualifying for matching funds for his presidential run; screwed over thousands, if not millions … with misleading telemarketing campaigns and out-and-out credit card fraud, hauling in millions, which in the end were funneled down to him personally for his \u00e2\u20ac\u0153expenses.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/em>
\n He ended up doing hard time, but they didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t lock him up forever. The great balance of his life, he lived like King George III.<\/em>
\n I was down in Leesburg, Virginia, and got a look at his estate: armed guards everywhere. It looked like a pastoral version of Buckingham Palace.<\/em><\/p>\n

I almost got him booked on a radio show<\/a> I worked for once. Would have been wonderful talk radio fun. I do think he has coarsened political debate in the USA by quite a bit. Especially with his whole “Every President past Reagan is Hitler” rhetoric. His Space Elevator sounded like silly fun though. Also, he pretty much wrote the whole script for people wanting a return to Glass Steagal. He’s an interesting oddity. Should be a fun subject of future documentaries or movie dramas.<\/em><\/p>\n

I don’t know the veracity of this story<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 Was Lyndon Larouche running around anywhere in public in 1999?<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0My own Lyndon LaRouche story<\/a>: in 2004, he was at my high school\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s mock democratic convention and spoke. Because his followers led with his opposition to the Iraq War, I briefly expressed interest and then realized how fucking insane it was.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
RIP Lyndon LaRouche<\/a>. You were born with the name of a guy who was destined to sell used Cadillacs and instead carved your own path as a failed politician.<\/div>\n
Modern politics is such a fucking nightmare and yet it bums me out that college kids won’t see his blood and feces smeared fliers and handouts on campuses anymore. RIP to a real one<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Lyndon LaRouche was a master at bringing about zero change through the power of pamphlets<\/a>.<\/div>\n

It has something to do with a cult, us against them. Anyone who’s ever been in a faction fight has more than likely demonized the opposition, no matter how close they are to you philosophically. Freud even had a name for that demonization, “the narcissism of small differences.” It’s us vs. evil. All morality is on our side.<\/em><\/div>\n

From larouche materials:\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0[fn_4]<\/span>. <\/span>During the midday hours following the assassination of Robert Kennedy, I intervened to prevent Mark Rudd and his followers from mobilizing their intended plan to celebrate the assassination of that Presidential candidate. A leading member of that group of my adversaries, acceded to my warning that such an action by Rudd\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s crew would have aroused the contempt of the population generally. [back to text for fn_4]\u00c2\u00a0 <\/em>Rudd is older and wiser… or “Younger than that Now”.\u00c2\u00a0 If public opinion was the reason for larouche balking at this action, he was more keyed in on mass popular opinion than he was for the next fifty years.<\/div>\n

From EIR, we see that the Rhode Island state House sleepily passed a resolution nodding at Larouche’s passing.\u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 And you can watch it all go down, presumably, on the state’s variant of cspan if they archive those.\u00c2\u00a0 Well, here’s their guy in Rhode Island<\/a>, Justin Price.<\/div>\n

Lyndon LaRouche, by far the most adept political economist since Alexander Hamilton,<\/em><\/p>\n

Apparently Nancy Spannaus has a new book out about Alexander Hamilton — with thanks to a few old cohorts in the Larouche org and someone from a legitimate Hamilton organization.\u00c2\u00a0 I suppose she’s trying something of the Tarpley approach — who could shove an anti-Bush conspiracy book into a launching point and sustaining mark for his career.\u00c2\u00a0 Though, it’s hard to see the ardor for Hamilton having such a shelf life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

I.\u00c2\u00a0 I’ve had a couple conversations regarding Larouche.\u00c2\u00a0 One, a guy who grew up in The Bronx telling me that round about ’99, he was 14, and they were recruiting in his neighborhood by handing out vhs tapes.\u00c2\u00a0 Excited by their pitch for “Socialism” (which he seemed to think was still what they’d be pitching), […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17972","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-the-larouche-challenge","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.struat.com\/election\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17972","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.struat.com\/election\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.struat.com\/election\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.struat.com\/election\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.struat.com\/election\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17972"}],"version-history":[{"count":53,"href":"http:\/\/www.struat.com\/election\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17972\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18092,"href":"http:\/\/www.struat.com\/election\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17972\/revisions\/18092"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.struat.com\/election\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17972"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.struat.com\/election\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17972"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.struat.com\/election\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17972"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
