page I&#8217;ve set myself out to do &#8212; only deadline being that I want to have it done<br \/>\nbefore the man passes away &#8212; replete with a heck of a lot more than I had when I finished last year&#8217;s blogging with this morass.\u00c2\u00a0 I now have a bunch of gaps filled in from that series of posts &#8212; vaguarities made less vague.<\/p>\n<p>It all starts to make perfect sense.\u00c2\u00a0 Here.\u00c2\u00a0 I have more.<\/p>\n<p>In 1965, LaRouche launched a struggle inside the Socialist Workers Party (a Trotskyite organization), with Carol Larrabee &#8212; also known in LaRouche land as Schnitzer or White.\u00c2\u00a0 She would run off to Britain with a new co-hort, which is when LaRouche is believed to have gone off the remaining bit of a rocker he was on.\u00c2\u00a0 They had an elitist view of how the Revolution was going to come about: we need professional revolutionaries, intellectual leaders are not going to spring from the fabled &#8220;Workers of the World&#8221;.\u00c2\u00a0 The ins and outs of their sectional had them join Gerry Healy and the &#8220;American Committee for the 4th International&#8221;, which they later bounced from over to the &#8220;Spartacist League&#8221;, a splinter<br \/>\nfrom the &#8220;4th International&#8221; &#8212; which in turn was a splinter from the &#8220;SWP&#8221;.\u00c2\u00a0 Not getting anywhere, his enormous ego not being gratified and genuflected enough toward, LaRouche quit these &#8220;4th International&#8221; organizations, LaRouche wrote a letter declaring that all factions of the 4th International were null and void, and now LaRouche was setting out to establish the &#8220;5th International&#8221;.\u00c2\u00a0 Which makes as much sense as<br \/>\nlaunching the &#8220;Democratic Policy Committee&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Operation Mop-Up&#8221;, where LaRouche either conciously or unconciously aped Hitler and his &#8220;brown-shirts&#8221; in storming Communist meetings and swinging machettes around, starts to make sense.\u00c2\u00a0 Control and hegemony over the Revolution would be consolidated and taken from the &#8220;vanguard left&#8221; &#8212; who were all Rockefellar&#8217;s agents, mind you, bcause they diverted attention away from the true revolution and to stupid issues of gender, race, etc, and once that was accomplished, the control over\u00c2\u00a0 conciousness of the proletariat would be wrested from the Bourgeoise culture as a whole.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve wondered about LaRouche&#8217;s mother problems.\u00c2\u00a0 I recommend everyone, college students in particular, who LaRouchites have granted the privilege of gracing with their presence, to walk up and say, &#8220;I&#8217;m thinking of joining the LaRouche Youth Movement, but I think I&#8217;ll pass the idea<br \/>\nby my mom.&#8221; and see what happens.\u00c2\u00a0 (Other ideas:\u00c2\u00a0 walk by with a friend and make it so they overhear the casual conversation &#8220;I try to model my life after Aristotle.&#8221;\u00c2\u00a0 Or &#8220;If you think Doubling the square sharpens the mind, wait until you TRIPLE the Square!&#8221;)\u00c2\u00a0 I&#8217;ve generally suspected that LaRouche simply intuits that moms are a barrier and competing<br \/>\ninfluence; they&#8217;d tend to try to talk their young ones out of joining &#8220;cadres&#8221; of any sort.\u00c2\u00a0 Also, it&#8217;s psychologically a way of having them declare them their own person at a crucial point in their life.\u00c2\u00a0 Beyond the tactics of the affront, I&#8217;ve shrugged and figured that maybe Larouche&#8217;s strict and religious up-bringing lead him to hate his mother.\u00c2\u00a0 But there is one other possibility.\u00c2\u00a0 Fred Newman, another political cult leader of long standing, currently largely holder of the reigns of the remains of the Reform Party, whose configuration was somewhat obstensibly a sort of a psycho-analytic Marxist confirguration &#8212; had his group join the NCLCs for a year.\u00c2\u00a0 Insanely enough, Newman wanted to take over the organization.\u00c2\u00a0 I had figured that LaRouche&#8217;s &#8220;brain-washing&#8221; reprogramming, launched when Carol flew off to <span id=\"lw_1169247746_0\" style=\"border-bottom: #0066cc 1px dashed\">Great Britain<\/span>, was a product of his circa 1960 computer programming career.\u00c2\u00a0 It may well be, but the timing of events suggests as much that LaRouche picked up his psychotic &#8220;reprogramming&#8221; from his dalliances with Fred Newman.\u00c2\u00a0 As well, his &#8220;mother complex&#8221;, and degrading issuances that his followers&#8217; failures in organizing came from sexual impotence.\u00c2\u00a0 (It all comes back to those &#8220;vital fluids&#8221; of Dr. Strangelove lore, doesn&#8217;t it?)<\/p>\n<p>I am reading through a 1988 issue of &#8220;EIR&#8221;.\u00c2\u00a0 Insane though it may seem, Portland State University has three &#8220;special issues&#8221; (education, AIDS, and the Gulf War Crisis of 1990) of EIR in its library &#8212; apparently donated by LaRouchites, the cover pages stamped with the imprint &#8220;Donated Material&#8221;, which is good because it sets aside the frightening prospect that $700 &#8212; yes, the pricetag on these 3 issues of &#8220;Executive Intelligence Review&#8221; come up to $700 &#8212; of tax-payer dollars went to the type of writing that is obstenisbly sold for $5 on street corners, but is generally conspicuously littered about.\u00c2\u00a0 $5 is about $7 too much.<\/p>\n<p>So we have a transcript of the AIDS issue froma LaRouche informercial in 1988.\u00c2\u00a0 &#8220;Many are asking, &#8216;What does Lyndon LaRouche know about AIDs that Surgeon General C Everett Koop does not?&#8217;\u00c2\u00a0 Many are saying to themselves, &#8216;I thought LaRouche was an economist.\u00c2\u00a0 What does an economist know about AIDs?&#8217;\u00c2\u00a0 My profession is a little known branch of science, called physical economy.\u00c2\u00a0 That is a branch of physical science developed 300 years ago by&#8230;&#8221; and on it goes as the viewer says, &#8220;Wait a minute!&#8221;, since nobody&#8217;s free-word association starts off with &#8220;LaRouche&#8221; and &#8220;economist&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>As for what LaRouche knew about AIDs that C Everett Koop did not:\u00c2\u00a0 LaRouche had been watching for a biological plot for about a decade, and when AIDs hit he was very suspicious, sho he pulled together a crack research staff to investigate.\u00c2\u00a0 AIDs, it seems, was accidentally prodcued in the 1960s by experiments with human tissue.\u00c2\u00a0 It is not primarily sexually transmitted, but there is a conspiracy to make the public think it is so that they can push pornographic sex education in our schools as well as pushing special rights for the pervers lifestyle choice of homosexuality.\u00c2\u00a0 Also, a Mathusian plot exists to use AIDs as an excuse to clear out the, by the evil ones&#8217; perspective, the unwanted blacks.\u00c2\u00a0 AIDs is a highly transmittable disease, which can be spread through mosquito bites, and if left untouched will decimate the population (which, by the way, the wacko environmentalists &#8212; &#8220;enthropists&#8221; be they, would love to see happen because they hate people and love the Earth instead), so we must wage WAR on AIDs, all expenses necessary, and thus we need to screen the population and test everybody, and isolate those with AIDs (or, humanely, provide plenty of hospital beds).\u00c2\u00a0 If elected prsident, Lyndon LaRouche will make AIDs HISTORY!<\/p>\n<p>The acronym for LaRouche&#8217;s organization which pushed his ballot measures in <span id=\"lw_1169247746_1\" style=\"border-bottom: #0066cc 1px dashed\">California<\/span> was&#8211; appropriately enough &#8212; &#8220;PANIC&#8221;.\u00c2\u00a0 The acronym for the organized opposition was &#8220;CALM&#8221;.\u00c2\u00a0 The ballot measures failed by a two to one margin, but caused health experts serious head-aches.\u00c2\u00a0 It is here, reading over his AIDs booklet, that I see the evil of the man, somewhere beyond the kookery, and understand the Dennis Kings of the world&#8217;s insistence that you can&#8217;t simply dismiss LaRouche out of hand as a simple inconsequential crank.\u00c2\u00a0 Granted, for the most part I do, but at least I see where King is coming from.\u00c2\u00a0 LaRouche has on repeated occasion posited the manner in which he may become president without an election.\u00c2\u00a0 A crisis hits, simply economic crisis in general, but fret not &#8212; AIDs is usable as an issue as well.\u00c2\u00a0 In 1987, when the stock market tumbled and commentators made allusions to 1929, LaRouchites descended down <span id=\"lw_1169247746_2\" style=\"border-bottom: #0066cc 1px dashed\">Wall Street<\/span> to declare how they were right.\u00c2\u00a0 In 1998, when the Asian Markets tumbled, LaRouche wrote an open letter to Bill Clinton urging that Clinton appoint LaRouche as economic advisor and declare emergency powers which &#8220;every sovereign state has available&#8221;.\u00c2\u00a0 He cited China as &#8220;one of the best governments in the world today, in terms of quality of leadership, the kind of leadership required to get through crisis.&#8221;\u00c2\u00a0 Today I note that LaRouche praises Vladamir Putin&#8217;s rather autocratic government in <span id=\"lw_1169247746_3\" style=\"border-bottom: #0066cc 1px dashed\">Russia<\/span>.\u00c2\u00a0 As for AIDs, LaRouche insisted, naturally, that he be the one in charge of manning his AIDs program.\u00c2\u00a0 In LaRouche&#8217;s mind, he will be right there when the economy unravels.\u00c2\u00a0 There is a review for his 1974 quasi-Marxist book which includes the line &#8220;Judging perhaps unfairly from his controversial manner, Marcus impresses at least one reader as a Me-for-Dictator type to whom it would be dangerous to entrust the task of drawing any boundary between the domain of freedom and that of necessity or order.&#8221;\u00c2\u00a0 Amazing precient for a reviewer who did not know what a &#8220;Lyn Marcus&#8221; was.\u00c2\u00a0 (Martin Bronfenbrenner of <span id=\"lw_1169247746_4\" style=\"border-bottom: #0066cc 1px dashed\">Duke University<\/span> writing for the &#8220;Journal of Political Economy&#8221;, Feb. 1976).<\/p>\n<p>So we have some parallels for how LaRouche postures for power to Adolf Hitler.\u00c2\u00a0 Basically the problem is all I can really do with that is smirk and say &#8220;Nice try, idiot.&#8221;\u00c2\u00a0 Simply put, he hasn&#8217;t gotten anywhere and is not particularly likely to do so.\u00c2\u00a0 But he does seem to have it in his head.\u00c2\u00a0 If he is following the path of the Fuhrer, the problem is the path of the Fuhrer is narrow and steep and tenuous.\u00c2\u00a0 He is a Hitler with a silly paper hat.\u00c2\u00a0 If you look and see a Hitler, you see that paper hat.\u00c2\u00a0 If you look and see that silly paper hat, you pause and consider that you still see a Hitler.<!-- type = text --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Post more Larouche stuff.\u00c2\u00a0 This other stuff sucks.&#8221;
