The last time Lyndon Larouche poked his way into any public conciousness — in the US, some modest blips are abound in Great Britain, eh? — and this is a rather marginal definition of “public” here, Larouche spoke out about Barack Obama as being the product of “every monkey in every tree” and OH THE MISCEGENATION! It was a blip to be sure — a back page on daily kos, Wonkette, some blurbs for news aggregations to followers of cults and of news of particular interest to African Americans. A blip is what Larouche gets.<\/p>\n

I had been wondering, though, when and how one item of Obama’s popular awareness with popular gray-area of public discourse would poke out of Leesburg. No self-respecting conspiracy theorist can possibly leave the topic of the Assassination of Barack Obama alone, right? Well, here we go<\/a>:<\/p>\n

But my view is, they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re still going to dump him. I see the signs of the readiness to dump him all over the world. And they get him in any way, they can assassinate him. I mean, a guy like this, with his\u00e2\u20ac\u201dhe comes in a sense, as long as he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s around, they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re stuck with him, but they don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want him. What do they do with him? They kill him. And they try to kill him with the kind of effect would (sic) be most useful for their purposes.<\/em><\/p>\n

You know, one of Molly Kronberg\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s friends\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll probably kill him or something like that\u00e2\u20ac\u201dand put the blame on us! [laughs]<\/em><\/p>\n

That makes sense. [Sure it does.]<\/strong> It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the way they do things.<\/em><\/p>\n

Interesting, I believe. It’s a demented bit of sarcasm, and really is more a posit that Molly Kronberg is leading a troupe against Larouche and blaming Lyndon for killing Kenneth Kronberg. And that is where the demise of his organization comes from. Thus Lyndon Larouche manages to broach the provocative topic of Barack Obama’s assassination without saying anything about it, instead dwelling on intimately personal matters. Understand this falls into that weird realm of public \/ private consumption, as Lyndon Larouche has earlier gone on record declaring how pleased he is that every word he speaks is available to turn up for anyone’s reading pleasure — and I suppose I could go back and link to such, except I’m not terribly interested. Look on through this particular conversation, though, and you see Larouche once again reminiscing about the past Good old times — “We had fun” (and the authorities locked him up in prison because… they were having too much fun. Good one!) Appropriate enough for the Last Rites, I suppose, and here I can cue the following quote from an article rolling past defeated opponents of Oklahoma Senator James Inhoffe:<\/p>\n

Inhofe has run against Republicans and he’s run against Democrats. He’s run against independents and Libertarians<\/span> and a candidate from the Natural Law Party<\/span>.
\nHe even ran against one of the late Lyndon LaRouche’s minions. <\/em><\/p>\n

And, naturally, a few days later in the Tulsa World.:<\/p>\n

A Sunday Tulsa World story<\/span> referred to the “late Lyndon Larouche<\/span>.” LaRouche is not dead. <\/em><\/p>\n

How would anyone know, really?<\/p>\n

Sigh. I do have more cheeky bemusement. Maybe I’ll post it later in this very space. Have Fun, Everybody!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
