(Or whatever the position is and is supposed to be.)\u00c2\u00a0 I see one more reference to him as having served as someone else&#8217;s campaign manager, which in Larouchian politics I am not entirely sure what that job is supposed to entail &#8212; the road to that fraction of a percentage point.\u00c2\u00a0 (Aren&#8217;t you just still deployed for the 85 year old?)\u00c2\u00a0 I assume there are other electoral battles he has fouht, but all I can say is that he is apparently <a href=\"http:\/\/www.larouchepub.com\/eiw\/public\/2006\/2006_20-29\/2006_20-29\/2006-28\/pdf\/alltxtv5n28.pdf\">occasionally prominently featured in Larouchian literature for his effective deployment<\/a>, a successful end to a long career in Larouchian politics and that which everyone should aspire to, I suppose.<\/p>\n<p>It looks like he is otherwise doing a job of juanting around the Internet, spreading the word.\u00c2\u00a0 I gathered this when I happened upon this, which <a href=\"http:\/\/peoriapundit.com\/blogpeoria\/2007\/11\/11\/blogs-maybe-some-people-really-shouldnt-blog\/#comment-97681\">is a gem<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In response to a posting with one of the quotes Avi Klein&#8217;s article seems to have pushed into the popular culture &#8212; or at least a segement of the Internet, &#8220;if anyone was made for blogging&#8221; &#8212; as well the idea that Internet killed the Cult Leader, Gerald Pechenuk responds with:<\/p>\n<p><em>Did it ever occur to you that maybe, perhaps, just maybe, LaRocuhe is right, and that all the lying and denying of what he has said and continues to say about the causes of and solution to the ongoing crash of the global financial system are nothing more than smokescreens by people who are purveyors or dupes of people who just plain out oppose Larouche\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s FDR-Lincoln Foudning Fathers American System solutions. THE CRASH IS undeniable. Attack and LIE about LaRouche as much as you care to, then when you are finished blowing smoke, tell me what YOUR SOLUTIONS are to the crash that he correctly and uniquely forecast..
