You can expect to see the LaRouchies out \u00e2\u20ac\u0153in force\u00e2\u20ac\u009d at Denver. Unfortunately (for them, not us), their \u00e2\u20ac\u0153force\u00e2\u20ac\u009d isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t too impressive. And I imagine their singing hasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t gotten any better either. Guffaw.<\/em><\/p>\n

The question:\u00c2\u00a0 Where are they?\u00c2\u00a0 I cannot find the evidence admist the, quote-in-quote, “Citizen Journalism” which is the realm of Blogs.\u00c2\u00a0 This is contrast to 2004, where — off in the margins but since I key on this I could reframe the margins into a sort of central focus– I learned that they were there in Boston, singing choral slightly bemusing various people as they walked in and out of the convention center, and where I learned that they made odd hard to follow accusations at a press conference with Terry McAuliffe (sp?) about a grand conspiracy to keep them out of Youth Hostels.\u00c2\u00a0 This leaves aside their version of events, which was quite grand indeed.<\/p>\n

It seems now that that was about where their mild success, such as that was,\u00c2\u00a0of the Bush Era reached its crescendo.\u00c2\u00a0 Now I can’t find anything.\u00c2\u00a0 Are they there?\u00c2\u00a0 If so, is anyone noticing them?\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0Have the small band of “PUMA” protesters managed to shake them away from globbing onto their cause? \u00c2\u00a0The organization\u00c2\u00a0skeletal is becoming further emaciated.\u00c2\u00a0 This particular “fringe watch” is becoming harder and harder to grasp at.<\/p>\n

I am tempted to suggest they don’t have as much an ostensible reason for being there as they did in the past, when — um — Larouche was a Democratic Presidential Candidate on the ballot and was feigning his cause of winning a nomination.\u00c2\u00a0 Or, as suggested last time, being Kerry’s “Secret Weapon” of a running mate… which, I admit, would have shocked the political establishment — to the point where the Democratic Party would have taken the unprecedented step of checking Kerry into an insane asylum and of finding another nominee to run post haste.\u00c2\u00a0 But they do have an obstensible cause to be there, as suggested in their “1932” video, the cause of connecting with the Clintons against the Soros-operated Obama clique.\u00c2\u00a0 A bust in the real world, yes, but that never stopped them in the past.\u00c2\u00a0 No, they are just a dissipated outfit compared to even 2004.<\/p>\n

An eye toward his immortality, he has issued a statement that spiritually sets up Hegla<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 (Linked to the factnet linking because I tend to avoid linking to “L-PAC” itself.)\u00c2\u00a0 Obstensibly a celebration of her sixty years, it actually mostly meanders around George Soros, Abraham Lincoln, and those neo-Malthusian Greens — the latter I’ve grasped is Hegla’s Pet Enemy Phraseology.\u00c2\u00a0 The Torch has been passed, The Dream Can Never Die, and… two becomes one… in the eye of the two dozen people left in the LYM:<\/p>\n

“For that reason, my beloved Helga is, in fact, almost as precious to you, as she is to me.<\/em><\/p>\n

So, unable to find Larouche in Denver, I turn over to Webster Tarpley — who probably is better suited\u00c2\u00a0to be\u00c2\u00a0referenced\u00c2\u00a0in saying that\u00c2\u00a0the “Torch Has Been Passed to a new Generation of Wack Job Opportunistic Conspiratorial Demagouges,”\u00c2\u00a0albeit one with a different aim (not obsessed with the idea of a small collection of people chanting his name).\u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0Webster Tarpley is interviewed on the Alex Jones show, no doubt in anticipation of next week when Alex Jones will be interviewed on the Webster Tarpley Show.\u00c2\u00a0 One final\u00c2\u00a0lunge into the realm of the dissipating and transitory “PUMA” movement before slightly adjusting his message for the duration of either the Obama Presidential Campaign or the Obama Presidency, depending on how things turn out, hoping his Obama Nation book will be regarded years from now by elements in our political spectrum in the same way his Larouche-era George Herbert Walker Bush is (complete with prominet blurb from Kevin Phillips).\u00c2\u00a0 It’s a racket, good work if you can get it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
