So.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s been, what, ten days?\u00c2\u00a0 How many votes did Summer Shields receive?\u00c2\u00a0 Still waiting?
\nThe party hacks blocked Summer from running in the primary as a Democrat, so he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a write in candidate. No word yet on the results.
\n<\/em>No word then, any word yet?\u00c2\u00a0 Go to the Elections Office and demand a count.\u00c2\u00a0 And, no, Lizard People <\/a>does not count.<\/p>\n

“I am announcing today my candidacy for the Congressional seat currently held by Nancy Pelosi, as a write-in candidate in the general election. I would have preferred the opportunity to defeat Speaker Pelosi in last week’s Democratic primary. However, due to a technical problem with my voter registration<\/strong>, I was disqualified from appearing on the Democratic Party primary ballot.
\n<\/em>
\nThat’s the closest we’ve heard about the why.\u00c2\u00a0 Anyway, the Campaign Continues, I guess.\u00c2\u00a0 Novel approach — just keep running even after losing an election.\u00c2\u00a0 Move onward so people can sight you like so<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the campaign for Rachel Brown is getting some notice.\u00c2\u00a0 Apparently there is a campaign video on the LPAC websites which shows Rachel Brown going through all the administrative processes in getting on the ballot — walking up to the Mass. elections division office window, submitting signatures, and finally, being certified on the ballot<\/em>.\u00c2\u00a0 Visual evidence in the wake of the Great Summer Shields Campaign.\u00c2\u00a0 Which, you know, maybe there was a quid pro quo with the “Party Hacks” in San Francisco on that one — “We leave you off the ballot — and you get to not be on the ballot.\u00c2\u00a0 Deal?”<\/em><\/p>\n

My guess is that years from now, we will be referencing the “Frank – Brown” debate format the same way we do now the “Lincoln – Douglas” format.\u00c2\u00a0 Scholarships will be rewarded in debate tournaments to students who mastered the technique — you have one debate sparrer in the audience throwing out a Hitler reference, another at the lectern responding with an Insult — points earned by style and technique.<\/p>\n

Watching Rachel Brown roam the Mashed Potato Circuit of Party meetings and dinners <\/a>(the type Alvin Greene was invited to but didn’t attend), I imagine\u00c2\u00a0party honchos at various low-level meetings making some quick decisions, it’s possible that we won’t see Rachel Brown at too many more of these.\u00c2\u00a0 “Should we bother inviting her to any more of these?” The “Party hack” conspiracy continues, in the clatter of this video — skip to 3:40\u00c2\u00a0on “Mars”, and to\u00c2\u00a0 5:05 for the\u00c2\u00a0“WHAT?\u00c2\u00a0 Boo!” of the crowd.<\/p>\n

The quickee description of this meeting is here<\/a>, complete with what I suppose we’ll see more of in the way of LYMer responses.\u00c2\u00a0 Thanks again for the erudition, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m not sure I can tell you how you have influenced my whole basis of thought!!!\u00c2\u00a0 <\/em>Hm.\u00c2\u00a0 There’s a piece on LPAC for you, I suppose, that makes liberal use of puns on the word “frank”.
\nReally, I’m afraid, of course, that this primary contest already peaked last August.<\/p>\n

\"rockwell_speech_hey\"\u00c2\u00a0 “Why do you continue to support a Nazi policy as Obama has expressly supported this policy?”<\/em>\u00c2\u00a0 (No, I’m afraid to photoshop\u00c2\u00a0the word balloon in the image and to stick the Obama – Hitler face pamphlet in his pocket is a case of too much effort for\u00c2\u00a0too little reward.)<\/p>\n

This has a pretty niche market<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 But it’s more digestable to read than to watch the actual Larouche conflab itself — beyond my level of tolerability.\u00c2\u00a0 So we get this… and maybe you care, maybe you don’t care about the internal office politics of a Cult’s boot-licking session… Like I said, a pretty niche market.
\nAbout 20 minutes into the rambling discourse, John Hoefle rather daringly and quite unwisely injects his own theory into the mix, hypothesizing that the oil disaster is a London response to the American people’s war on Obama and British imperialism.
\nBoy…, that was a mistake, John!
\nLyn rebukes John\u00e2\u20ac\u201dright on camera!
\n“No!! I don’t believe in event-driven history! I belief in policy-driven events!”
\nOh. Poor John. He nervously digs his massive paws into the aged fabric of his pants leg, eyes darting back and forth, perhaps feeling as though he has been thrown headlong into a canyon of denunciation! Nancy Spannaus is afraid to even blink, lest Lyn should hear it.
\nLyn grinds additional salt into John’s heavily gored heart by denouncing “those older people, even older members of this organisation who think in short-term hit-and-run operations.” Ouch, John. Ouch.
\nThe sad thing for John is that, of course, he said the same thing as Lyn, that the spill is “a policy driving the events at hand,” and he knows he did. It is evident by the excruciating conflict scored into his face. But the horrible reality is, he stepped out onto a limb confident in his ability to woo his elder and better with decades of EIR-brand geoeconomics, but utterly failed to take into account his master’s unpredictable propensity for sawing the limb out from under his enormous ass.
\n<\/em>
\nThe item of relevance comes about here.
\nFor extra frosting on the cake, Lyn brings up the “Jeremy Case” in great detail, insisting that Jeremy’s unhappy family life made him a confessed suicide prone character on heavy medication to handle chronic suicidal tendencies.\u00c2\u00a0 […]
\n“Not only does the mother continue to conduct a campaign of lies … some within the United States, some former associates, have latched onto the Jeremy case as sympathizers of the British Empire, demanding justice.”
\nNancy chirps, “And they’re all led from higher up, aren’t they?”
\nFortunately, assures Lyn, “We have the force of history on our side.” John Hoefle folds his arthritic paws lightly in relief, believing the worst is over for him.
\n<\/em>So it is there that I jump to the video<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0Launch over\u00c2\u00a0to 37:55, and I pick that moment only because it is here that I get a good few seconds of a visage of John Hoefel and see to what the above account in referring.\u00c2\u00a0 And there we get a few minutes of something … um… something entirely convoluted and maddening.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 I can’t diagram this.\u00c2\u00a0 To 42 minutes — “Glass Steagall” — No, seriously!\u00c2\u00a0 (End at 43:35 — “We have the force of History behind Us.\u00c2\u00a0 [I have to write about it… working on it] We are riding on what is potentially the Road to Victory.”\u00c2\u00a0 <\/em>Hm.\u00c2\u00a0 We have another incoherent jumbo of randomly thrown historical names coming soon.<\/p>\n

Erica Duggan has more grounded concerns than the “force of history”.\u00c2\u00a0 But, well, Larouche is concerned.\u00c2\u00a0 You see here<\/a> that Howie G is concerned.\u00c2\u00a0
\nTake Dave Emory<\/a> at arms’ length.\u00c2\u00a0 More sanely<\/a>, and more insanely<\/a>:
\nJeremiah was in Germany to attend a conference hosted by the LaRouche organisation. The Ham&High understands the group headed by American radical Lyndon LaRouche has applied to be an ‘interested party’ at the inquest.<\/em>
\nClever ruse of control, that.<\/p>\n

I do want to point out something of note from wikipedia<\/a>:
\nBut then again, nobody in the world is foolish enough to take Wikipedia, Jimbo Wales, Will Beback, SlimVirgin, Chip Berlet and Dennis King serious.
\n<\/em>Flawed though wikipedia may be — its history is of giving the Larouchies too much credence in shaping these articles — I see a recent banned user diggint away at the article for “Glass Steagall” alongside one of the larouche articles — this is just ridiculous.\u00c2\u00a0 First, citing Jimb Wales seems like cursing Steven Spielberg for the stickiness of of the floor of your local Multiplex.\u00c2\u00a0 Second, there are just too many incarnations here <\/a>for that to be credibly believed by this isp #.\u00c2\u00a0 Thirdly, I’ve seen too many people on the web referencing wikipedia and seeing the warning sign — recently, a black fan of David Duke on “what happened to Jeremiah Duggan” — which, I take that brand of severe and acute Contrarianism to be just the sort of alignment susceptible to this crap.<\/p>\n

Back to the electoral political campaigns of the trio — Shields and Brown… Not to be outdone, the campaign for Kesha Rogers continues at Post offices <\/a>and Air<\/a>ports<\/a> in the Houston area.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153And then you have Barack Obama on the other side, whose policy is to bail out the financial markets and kill people, that’s why we put the mustache on him,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d the man at the booth told a passerby.
\nOnly organizations with a nonprofit status can apply to solicit at the airport, and they are assigned to specific locations on a first-come, first-served basis.
\nThe airport said it neither endorses nor\u00c2\u00a0supports the display.
\n<\/em>Good to know the Airport doesn’t endorse the display.<\/p>\n

In the “I voted for the Larouchies in 1986 Illinois<\/a>” camp in explaining the situation in South Carolina.
\nAnd, I probably shouldn’t note but Cliff Kincaid has a headline regarding a recent MSNBC piece about the quote-in-quote “Radical Right”, prominently featured Alex Jones, with\u00c2\u00a0title “MSNBC Works With Alex Jones to Discredit Tea Party Movement.”\u00c2\u00a0 Hard to take that one seriously.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
