Apparently stung by the net effect of sparodic blogs reporting, in combination of mock\u00c2\u00a0and irritation, meetings with Larouche card-table deployments, LPAC has stuck this report — a distillation of some scattered comments into something of a rallying call.\u00c2\u00a0 It is… funny, in that moribud way all of these things tend to be funny.<\/p>\n
Generation that Fought the Nazis: LaRouche Is Right on Obama! Hm.\u00c2\u00a0 Frankly, they could play the “Current events remind person alive during WW2 of Nazi Germany” game since at least Nixon, probably before.\u00c2\u00a0 A note to the family of the elderly persons referenced in this item:\u00c2\u00a0 it may be time to take over some of their financial decisions.<\/p>\n Granted, if one cares one probably has read these things, but I draw your attention to the factnet posts <\/a>of\u00c2\u00a0 Hylozoic Hedgehog<\/span>\u00c2\u00a0 under the “Old Mole Files” and the “New Mole Files”.\u00c2\u00a0 I gather part of the purpose here is carrying on an argument against\u00c2\u00a0 Dennis King (“quit lying” about “Larouche’s ideological orientation”), such as I’m left with the belief that it promised more than it delivered on that score.<\/p>\n I assume this was the purpose of putting in bold type and adding a paranthetical “emphasis added” to the phrase in Larouche’s stated purpose of finding “Leninist Boomers”.\u00c2\u00a0 Of course, a secondary purpose is to put the context of the org as being a forty year history of yanking a small cadre of “Leninist Boomers” around in various fashions, which I guess would argue for the cult orientation over any ideological consideration.<\/p>\n To review how the “left” and “right” strait-jacket is reconciled, here are two quotations from Tim Wohlforth in his memoir The Prophet’s Children:<\/p>\n “In fact it is quite remarkable how the ‘new’ Larouche organizes his followers in a Leninist cadre fashion, drives them with a vision of the historic tasks and the necessity of their actions and successfully reaches layers of society with “transitionl” slogans that appeal to economic needs or old prejudices.” I hesitate to say Wohlforth over-stepped his bounds in referring to various mainstream causes of the 1980s into the realm of “fascist”, though the “gay baiting” in particular may have the “matters of degree” on a one dimensional “left \/ right” spectrum.\u00c2\u00a0 The “anti-semitic phraseology” is what remains constant.\u00c2\u00a0 Also I wonder what “layers of society” he refers to here — surely the elderly people in the LPAC release and the similar credit fraud victims of the 1980s, and the college aged recruits, and a larger number I guess anyone who’s quoted a single line from Leon Strauss in the past eight years and talked and blamed Hitler on Prescott Bush<\/span> over the past two decades.<\/p>\n As for the Nazis?\u00c2\u00a0 Well, we can move further afield from King, who\u00c2\u00a0 — cavalier about posting a photograph of the man’s arms out-stretched though he may be (ironically transforming Larouche into an ordinary politician).\u00c2\u00a0 I have no opinion on Plato and his “Golden Souls”, except that Plato’s Republic has served as the rationalization for a number of despots.\u00c2\u00a0 I have no opinion on Nazi Space swirls, except to point to nazi <\/span>courtship<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 And I’m hard pressed to figure out what else the org’s effect, outside its orbit of spending membership’s lives [Jeremiah Duggan the extreme example<\/a>], has been besides stirring\u00c2\u00a0these\u00c2\u00a0conspiratorial items\u00c2\u00a0into public discourse.

\nJuly 1, 2009 (LPAC)\u00e2\u20ac\u201dLyndon LaRouche’s webcast call to arms on fighting Barack Obama’s Nazi policy on medical treatment, profoundly touched the souls of his generation\u00e2\u20ac\u201dthose who fought in World War II, or lived through it. But many boomers and younger people were protective of Obamamania, and fearful of what their “friends” and peers will think about calling Obama’s plan “Nazi.”
\nAmong the older people, whether it was those who attended the Washington-area meeting where LaRouche spoke, the regional meetings, or watched it on the web, or learned about it in the field, there was a powerful response. At a literature table in the New Jersey region, an older woman was at our literature table, getting briefed on the LPAC fight, and looking at our signs on Obama and Hitler. She looked over the LPAC literature, and exclaimed, “You’re right, his policy is Nazi.” Then she pulled up her shirtsleeve to reveal the numbers tattooed on her arm, put there when she was a prisoner in a Nazi concentration camp in Poland at the age of 9.
\nAt the Washington, DC-area event, an Italian-American man from Philadelphia, said, “Lyn has to win. I know, I lived under Mussolini. Lyn is right.” Two men in their 80s had the same response. One, at a field site in Los Angeles said, referring to Obama and the Administration, “I’m 80 years old. They’re out to kill me!” Another World War II veteran, attending the New Jersey office showing of the webcast, said, “I’m in trouble … I’m over 80 … they want to be rid of people like me.” In Chicago, a 79-year-old man, who had retreated into religion from politics, listened by phone to Lyn’s webcast, and later said, “That speech should be on the front page of every newspaper in the country! What he said about the British is absolutely true! In fact, everything he said is true! He’s the smartest man in the world!!”<\/em><\/p>\n

\n“The Larouchites began mouthing anti-Semitic phraseology, promoting the nuclear program and arms industry, advocating a Star Wars<\/span> defense, and baiting gay people.\u00c2\u00a0 The old Trotskyite, a member of my own small organization, had emerged as a Fascist!”<\/em><\/p>\n
\nAcross the spectrum of what it means for Larouche to be defined as a nazi:\u00c2\u00a0 On the far edge you have European’s “researchers” and “reporters” who insist to him that they know they all read Mein Kampf and sit before portraits of Hitler<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 An edge inward and you have this admitted tin-foil hat wearer’s conspiracy theory that the org was financed by fleeing Nazis’ Gold<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0and there we have Dave Emory’s program which sticks him in as part of that “Underground Reich” (though, Emory would also hold forth about Prescott Bush on that score.)\u00c2\u00a0 At the opposite end, “European” had denied\u00c2\u00a0any existence of anti-semitism until recently.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
