I have been informed that the man reported in this Washington Post news story about a Suicide off an overpass in beautiful (?I have no way of knowing?) from Leesburg, Virginia<\/a> was a high level Larouchite.<\/p>\n

Naturally I cannot leave that without some sort of comment, but for the life of me I don’t know what that comment is. We run into members of this outer group and react by laughing<\/a> or perhaps going a bit further<\/a>. A look at Dennis King’s website (finally got around to that) (customary Disclaimer for any wandering Larouchites who do seem to be reading this: Dennis King once wrote an article that appeared in High Times, which has a different title than the one that Larouche propaganda claims), which contains somehow or other have internal documents from this creepy organization, reveals a Byzantine Operation<\/a> … high pressure and demeaning control jobs.<\/p>\n

So I am left with a few simple thoughts. #1: After a lifetime devoted to this creep, you come to the realization that you wasted your life, robotically programmed into a netherworld of lies and Stalinist rationalizations for — say — the death of Jermiah Duggan, and what do you do then? #2: The paranoid Lyndo — nay, I’ll stick with Lyn Marcus– carries out loyalty tests, and if you fail… Proceed to something similar to the strange case of Alice Weitzman<\/a> and know that little has changed. It’s not that that happened, so much as Lyn Marcus handed him his walking papers and told him that he was too attached to his mother. (Wait. That’s an inappropriate joke, grasped only by those who knew from elsewhere the reference or have been paying attention. Sorry.)
\nHence the following comment: See if the larouche cultists who show up here can give more details of what happened in larouche’s residence the night before and the morning of the suicide.<\/em><\/p>\n

Sounds like either a call to decency or a throwing of the guantlet.<\/p>\n

I was contemplating my theory of Lyn Marcus’s shift to Al Gore and Global Warming, and perhaps a long series of posts corregated at bloglines of mocking nature — my theory being that this is in part a tightening of control, jiggling off some merely semi-committed liberal – minded followers who were attracted to the anti Bush message and thus arriving back at a good core of manageables to march off to the next Crusade from his batch of tricks. But I’m analyzing something that affects my life not a wit here, and won’t think it through. He’s taking credit for some idiot German politician’s call to Ban the nation’s Green Party<\/a>. (Note to the side the “Projects” list which includes “Destroy Al Gore”. Hardee Har Har.) Which is funny enough, because all reports are that his Germany organization has imploded. (Whereas he appears to have thrived in America for the moment, recovering from a horrid 1990s).<\/p>\n

Okay. Now I can return to real politics… something I read in the American Prospect that is worth mentioning… in a post coming up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
