I’ve done considerable amounts of homework on the origins of the counterculture, and I am certain it was intentionally created for a particular political effect. In fact, the LaRouche movement was formed out of the opposition to the Vietnam War, and the concurrent launching of the counterculture.<\/p>\nThe question is: How do you get a population to reverse its national mission as the “Temple of Liberty and the Beacon of Hope?” How do get them to betray their commitment to a republican form of government based on the idea that all men are created equal, and how do you get them to become the military enforcement arm for a great big nasty empire? Apparently, one of the ways you can do it, is to assassinate one of their most beloved Presidents, lie about it, and a launch it headlong into a brutal, unjustified, neo-colonial war. When the opposition rises up in dissent, you get them to “tune in, turn on, and drop out.”<\/p>\n
I urge you to check the dates for the Kennedy assassination and the launching of Beatle-mania. I Wanna Hold Your Hand.<\/p>\n
I want you to consider the fact that in 1969 there was a grand jury trial in a New Orleans Courtroom for the conspiracy to assassinate President Kennedy. I will spare you most of the details, and point out that there was nearly a conviction of one Clay M. Shaw, who was a 20-year veteran of Britain\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Special Operations Executive (SOE), which was headquartered in Montreal Canada, and run by Louis Mortimer Bloomfield, the highest ranking British government agent in North America. Incidentally, Bloomfield and the SOE ran a number of commercial fronts including one called Permindex, which had been officially expelled from France in 1967 for attempting to assassinate Charles DeGaulle.<\/p>\n
Now, when one starts digging into the origins of the SOE, and related British intelligence outfits, one soon discovers that the British are masters of various forms of psychological warfare. The British Tavistock Institute, for example, is notorious for originating so-called \u00e2\u20ac\u0153brainwashing,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d electro-shock \u00e2\u20ac\u0153therapy,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and the use of drugs to induce psychosis. Later, during World War II, Tavistock psychiatrists were attached to every major British army unit. Their methods soon became very influential within United States military intelligence circles, ultimately leading to the formation of the Central Intelligence Agency. One of the notorious experiments the CIA conducted during the heady days of the Vietnam War was the so called MK-Ultra project, which included the large-scale distribution of LSD on college campuses. So much for the opposition. Somehow, a generation of Americans was induced to give up their commitment to truth and justice. Paul McCartney was knighted.<\/font> <\/em>
\nI rather prefer Jack T Chick’s take on the situation.\u00c2\u00a0 There are more druids in his historical take.\u00c2\u00a0 There are a few things to say about the Beatles in this conspiracy theory.\u00c2\u00a0 Firstly, it is a constant with Larouche — Lyn Marcus, the Marxist, could tie it in as a Bourgeoise plot… and Tom picked up on that.\u00c2\u00a0 But it does tap right in to the conservative flight against the 1960s.\u00c2\u00a0 Hence, the attacks against heavy metal in the 1980s.\u00c2\u00a0 Written by the same man who is now writing anti – video game screeds for Larouche, seemingly with the same formula, in this decade.
\nThirdly, “I Want to Hold Your Hand” and “Love, Love, Love” must really rankle that man.<\/p>\n
Fourthly, and most importantly, the rejection of The Beatles a con game for psuedo-intellectualism, and elitism.\u00c2\u00a0 We reject the mass commercialist mindset created to us from the marketing taste-makers, to a great extent true enough, and accept instead… Beethoven.\u00c2\u00a0 It makes one feel like they are thumbing their nose at the Marketing — well, Oligarchy.\u00c2\u00a0 Literally every single Larouchie and every single ex-Larouchie and every single semi-Larouchie touches upon that theme as an attraction to this Cult of Personality, I see it as appropriate alienation from their peer group leading to an inappropriate response.\u00c2\u00a0 But Tom seemed a little bit unaware of the irony of his “drop out” comment.\u00c2\u00a0 Hold on a minute here:<\/p>\n
In any case, I have not ignored the difficult question with respect to the Beatles. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m amused that it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s really an issue, but I am not surprised. My experience has been tempered by years of political organizing. I have learned that it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s relatively simple to educate someone politically. Most anyone who has an attention-span, and the willingness to do some work on their own, will readily agree with LaRouche\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s basic analysis of the world\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s political-strategic affairs. However, the culture, particularly with respect to music, is always the sticking-point, because one\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s \u00e2\u20ac\u0153music\u00e2\u20ac\u009d is almost always the key to their identity. For example, generation X-ers, like myself, generally talk, dress, think, choose their friends, recreate, etc., with their favorite \u00e2\u20ac\u0153music\u00e2\u20ac\u009d as a reference. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m sure you are aware of the phenomenon, and I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t think our enemies are unaware of the effect.<\/p>\nSo, I have often found myself arguing about music. The argument is almost always the same: Rigorously defined classical culture versus a set of opinions.<\/p>\n
Let me put it this way: I am absolutely certain that my enemies do not give a damn if you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re spinning around, smoking an eight-foot blunt that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s been burning for days, and listening to I Am the Walrus for the 666th time. You ain\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t gonna do nuttin\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 to change jack! They don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t even know you exist. But when you make it your life\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s mission to develop a superior conception of freedom, and you fight for it with truth and beauty, beware.<\/p>\n
We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve all seen those documentaries showing anthropologists out in the jungle studying primitive tribes. They get the drums going; maybe they ingest some mind-altering substances; they dance and spin around a lot; they hoot and they holler; they do all this until they get themselves worked up into a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153trance.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s when the evil spirit, or whatever it is, is supposed to come out. It looks a lot like a rock concert to me.<\/p>\n
We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve all seen infants jumping up and down in their crib, hollering nonsense, and putting toys in their mouth. Thankfully, some of them grow up. Unfortunately, many of them are induced to remain forever infantile, and they defend their infantilism to the rotten core, without ever really knowing why.<\/font> <\/em>
\nUgh.\u00c2\u00a0 Actually, this is Jack T Chick.\u00c2\u00a0 And, for that matter, the bestialization… the species differernation… right back to what that Larouche questioner asked right on this blog as what he saw the key question to be:\u00c2\u00a0 DO YOU KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MAN AND ANIMAL?
\nThe absurdity of this is probably the clearest arena to spotlight.\u00c2\u00a0 After that, the discussion on matters of culture become somewhat boredom-inducing, and not worth much in the arena of saving.\u00c2\u00a0 To sum up that situation:<\/p>\n
Lyn’s narratives of the history of science make for fascinating study in the paranoid style, if you can endure the torturous quality. Essentially, as previously noted, there was a Pure Method known to Plato; it was attacked and silenced by Aristotle and Ptolemy, revived by Cusa, cherished and continued by Kepler and perhaps Leonardo; this was promptly attacked by the regnant oligarchy in Venice using their agents, Galileo and Newton. Leibniz then “discovered” the calculus in a flash of complete, brilliant, fresh genius, supposedly after studying “the Kepler problem,” as Colonel Blimpoid has put it.<\/p>\nThis pure, unsullied, perfect calculus was then attacked by agents of the oligarchy such as Euler and LaGrange. Never mind that Lyn used to praise Euler to the skies; now that the master narrative has modulated Euler is part of the Villain Pool. As for LaGrange, never mind that his work is honored by all astrophysicists and the LaGrange Points are recognized elements in celestial mechanics, akin to geostationary-orbit points; his life and work, and Euler’s, and D’alembert’s, are part of the eternal conspiracy of the Akkadian-Dionysiac-Pythian Apollo-Mithraic-Ptolemaic-Venetian Conspiracy to prevent man from willfully increasing our relative potential population density.<\/p>\n
And never mind that basing the calculus on the infinitesimal leads to Zeno-style paradoxes and that this was known 250 yrs ago, was much discussed and argued, nor that the rigorous articulation of the Limit concept by Cauchy formalized the calculus on a logically sound basis; none of these developments have any internal logical or natural historic force, native to the subject’s complexities. There just has to be a conspiracy, run by oligarchs since the founding of Greek philosophy out of myth and poetry, to silence those (like Lyn) who seek to elevate mankind.\u00c2\u00a0 <\/font><\/em><\/p>\n
That is all ye know, and all ye need know, methinks.\u00c2\u00a0 I can pretty much by-pass it, ridiculous as it may be.
\n “Unified conspiracy string theory” of the world. I remember being told in 1979 that Atlantis was found off the coast of Spain, “right where LHL said it would be”. We can spin out more conspiracies than you ever imagined. We could give you a prehistoric conspiracy, a bronze age, Egyption\/Babylon, Israeli, Masonic, Christian, Platonic, Satanic, Marxist,British, Rockefeller, JFK, Nazi, Humanist version. I could not even begin to catalogue the stories we published, stole, rewrote and claimed as our own discoveries. Each story will have an appeal to some segment of the population. So, the person listens lightly to the jibberish, then reaches his “level” and then thinks that we have something that he always thought about, but never had “the facts ” to back up.<\/p>\nNow Tom, can you fill us in on how the London Tavistock institute set up the Beatles and the Gay movement? We published reams of documentation. All of psychology, physics, astronomy, math is nothing more than one cover up after another, with LHL somehow being able to peel away the skin of the onion and figure things out.<\/p>\n
Now the biggest conspiracy is that people who join think that LHL wants a mass movement. If that was true you would think after 30 years we have a few more subscribers and contributors. But, if you look at the lists you find that we burned every one out. If you takle a close look at the Presidential lists you will see that the repeat givers soon drop off. The demographics of the givers also changes as we targeted another group. At one time, through the anti drug coalition work, we had numerous supporters who were in the right to life groups. Another time we had John Birch type lists to call. Now you will see a lot of Muslim names as we pick up on the post 9\/11 comspiracy of how Israel is the ultimate master of the British and US war efforts.<\/font><\/em><\/p>\n
Rewind a little and stop at this line:<\/p>\n
Now the biggest conspiracy is that people who join think that LHL wants a mass movement.<\/font><\/em><\/p>\nThis is one of two things that “xlrc” has hammered on this board constantly, that Larouche he wants — a parallel world where he is a dictator and creates the impression upon a group of fawning syncoprants that he is a Player in World and Cultural Affairs.\u00c2\u00a0 The other being that Larouche is being used and duped by other criminals — the extortion does not\u00c2\u00a0 with Larouche ciphing up money from the LYMers.\u00c2\u00a0 I don’t know what the make of the latter impression.\u00c2\u00a0 The former, I can suggest one my problems with Dennis King.\u00c2\u00a0 It is interesting that his book “The New American Fascism” was published just a couple years before David Duke narrowly lost a Senate seat and then the governor seat for Louisiana.\u00c2\u00a0 I say that because a David Duke has a clearer shot of winning anything electorally than Lyndon Larouche, and has a clearer antecedent and connection with the “Old American Fascism” — the one party white supremicist ruled Jim Crowe Southern — um– oligarchy, and the KKK.<\/p>\n
Actually I reflect on this:<\/p>\n
There are some people on FACTNet who are out to ruin LaRouche, I think. They\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re not obsessed with what he says, but with what he does. The site got a lot more intense since a senior LaRouche org member committed suicide in April.<\/em><\/p>\nSure.\u00c2\u00a0 Sure.\u00c2\u00a0 OKAY. There is a strange sense that Larouche’s Empire is now perpetually on the brink of collapse.\u00c2\u00a0 3 years before I receieve a post on the current strains of Larouche, Inc — Fidileo — Dead, and all that:
\ntoday, the movement is all but broke.
\nthere is that whiteboard in the “national centre” showing how much each local raised so far for the week, and the total is never enough for the movement to stay afloat – at least not with helga’s weight in the boat.
\nmany old timers are moonlighting as substitute high school teachers or got some computer job (data entry).
\n‘Intelligence’ consists mainly of internet searches. The am bfg is constructed primarily from surfing the web, with some gossip from “contacts” thrown in. Lar doesn’t have any intelligence capability – at least not anymore. He has some “contacts”, many of whom don’t even like him. But people talk to EIR\/EIW\/Strategic Alert because everybody likes the idea of being interviewed, makes one feel important.
\nThe ultimate source for the stuff in EIR now comes from web search engines – except for LAR’s rantings – those repetitive and near-repetitive tracts come from lar personally. The web searches are copy pasted into the am bfg, or the “daybook”, and eventually amalgated into an “article”. A typical EIR article is made up of stuff from other people’s websites, with some jokes and opinions thrown in.
\nThere is one guy in the national centre – Richard F. – who collects a lot of statistics from the web, comes up with charts, etc. At least this guy does some actual work. The rest just writes opinions columns.
\nEvery now and then, the NEC, or whatever , will decide (i.e. “judge” — inside term) on which slant to take (i.e. “intervention” — another inside term). The truth will be shaded in EIR in such a way as to reflect the “policy”.
\n“Contacts” around the world will then get a call or two, and be “briefed” on the latest incarnation of lar “policy” based on the assumption that they really cared about what lar thinks. This will be followed by the customary joke — “the world is coming to an end and there is no other solution except lar”. After that, the begging for money starts.
\nSometimes, some “contacts” will give some gossip, and tell the boomers in leesburg not to publish it. the boomers will then relate the gossip to lar, and lar will think that he is being let in on something because he is so important to the world.
\nThis basically sums up the best private intelligence agency in the world.
\nabout helga and her bitch’s rich and famous lifestyle — the trouble about courting VIPs is that you must have the means to entertain them. every now and then, you read about the german and her bitch rubbing shoulders with this or that VIP. VIP shoulders don’t come cheap…and the big shots will only give you the time of the day if you look like you have some means. hence, the true purpose of the yoot movement…to help foot the bills.<\/font><\/em><\/p>\nI think Robert Beltran’s services are a good trade-in for Fidelio, in a very broad “teach the classicist method of Acting” versus classicist Art mode.\u00c2\u00a0 Besides which, there should be plenty of Fidelios in back-stock to wave before these artistic-minded recruits, and they shouldn’t notice that they’re a few years’ old.
\nI think the nature of the Cult is that is that it needs to be Strained in terms of its financing.\u00c2\u00a0 On one hand, it does shadow the Perpetual Impending Collapse claims for the Broader Economy.\u00c2\u00a0 On the other hand… the nature of a con is that you funnel your winnings right on through and never stop.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
