in his\u00c2\u00a0org largely being in the organization out of habit as much as anything else, and his wistful look back to when the org did some things as opposed to now, \u00c2\u00a0goes along the lines of &#8220;This is how a crypto-fascist personality cult dies.\u00c2\u00a0 Not with a bang, but with a whimper.&#8221;\u00c2\u00a0 But this thought that some people just may have taken one closer look to the link and read the rest of this item beyond the immediate Obama quote, and into the internal dynamics of the cult,\u00c2\u00a0gives me an inner smile.\u00c2\u00a0 But, for my purposes of due diligence in this anti-Larouche Activist role I have fallen into, and in suggesting that this is a far more useful item for both the handful of the niave who see some surface issues Larouche spouts and\u00c2\u00a0rationalize away the seemingly incoherent rest with &#8220;At least he&#8217;s doing something&#8221;, and for the purpose of the occasional treker over the card table shrine for a spell of asking the person behind the card table shrine &#8220;What in the world do you think you are doing?&#8221;, it needs to be connected to the other part of the item which &#8220;Eaglebreak&#8221; made public, perhaps even footnoted to a ridiculously nth degree (the whole purpose of this is a sort of layered item where the item is placed in its context, then if for the sake of any further argument even further into its context, and further still in context), the central part about Obama highlighted, the most central and most direct couple of sentences\u00c2\u00a0 highlighted and underlined,\u00c2\u00a0and then dashed out into the public domain, for presentation by anyone who cares to present it to a &#8220;Youth Movement&#8221;arian manning a card table on a college university in the coming months.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone reading this\u00c2\u00a0with a hankering to wander over, perhaps with\u00c2\u00a0this\u00c2\u00a0small package in hand but if not with the\u00c2\u00a0words about Barack Obama and\u00c2\u00a0every monkey on Earth in mind,\u00c2\u00a0the question to ask:\u00c2\u00a0 When you joined, thinking you were going to battle Imperialistic Wars or thinking you were fighting to advance Science<em> (ha!),<\/em> or for Investment into Infrastructure, and for other idealistic causes, did you also think you were going to be promoting the crudest form of KKK-esque nineteenth century racism?<\/p>\n<p>Trying to formulate what, precisely, to do with this item, that is about all I could come up with, and so I float it out there, and let it be caught as it is caught.<\/p>\n<p>Because the scariest part of that item, particularly with the\u00c2\u00a0Obama quote\u00c2\u00a0but also with the rest of this item,\u00c2\u00a0is that it is Lyndon Larouche being chummy with his &#8220;Larouche Youth Movement&#8221; members, the prized figures who he is attempting to groom to replace the boomers he knows won&#8217;t linger around.\u00c2\u00a0 They are being prepped for this mission with the most basest of hatreds, because the ideological framework\u00c2\u00a0has to have them battle this &#8220;all out&#8221;.\u00c2\u00a0 And I do not believe they quite know what they are agreeing with here.\u00c2\u00a0 Which is why you should show it to them, even though in the main they should immediagely be able to rationalize it away &#8212; if nothing else simply by calling you a Fascist.<\/p>\n<p>As for the &#8220;Internal item&#8221;, it does echo the items supposedly for public consumption.\u00c2\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.larouchepub.com\/lar\/2008\/webcasts\/3512mar12_qanda.html\">Worth looking at<\/a>, or skimming, because it shows Larouche &#8212;
