One<\/a>.
\nInterestingly, the concept of “one” has been broached by Larouche in a number of ways.
\nIn both Houston and San Francisco, the campaigns have been speaking in many classrooms, announcing the campaigns, and directing people to the NAWAPA maps on the website. In all three locations, what is most impressive is the total sweep of activity, centered around the “One” of LaRouche’s forecast, and LaRouche’s solution. Beyond the agitation they are tapping into directly, it’s clear there is an even higher level of response which is “unseen,” as people meet us and then discuss what the campaigns are doing at home and at work.
\n<\/em>Well, it fits Bono’s vision and message more clearly than this one did<\/a>.
\nIn adolescence — middle school and high school — whenever a program of one sort warning us on the dangers of drugs, promiscuous sex, or gangs was inserted into the class, we’d invariably hear that line.\u00c2\u00a0 “If I reach just ONE student here, it will be worth it.”\u00c2\u00a0 So we enter wikipedia, and see — admist what has been referred to as a “Herschle Kurstofsky Sockpuppet spree”:
\n(Seriously, if the silly banner alerts just one reader to the exploits of the exceptionally loathsome POV warrior Will Beback, that’s probably the best outcome one could hope for)<\/span><\/em>
\nAs you’d expect, “Paths of Change<\/a>” has been banned.\u00c2\u00a0 In honor of his memory, I have increased the chances that that ONE PERSON will be affected — and will know the horrors of the WIll Beback administration in the Larouche related items on wikipedia.<\/p>\n

Other wikipedia sockpuppet deletions this week — a “Dern Tootin<\/a>“, who wanted to get the bolded part of this into the “Citizens Electoral Council” entry:
\nThe CEC also includes the ”’Australian LaRouche Youth Movement (ALYM)”’, the Australian branch of the International LaRouche Youth Movement.\u00c2\u00a0 It was founded in August 2002, and focusses on the economic thought of Lyndon LaRouche as well as what they regard as Australia’s republican tradition, including figures such as John Curtin, King O’Malley, and John Dunmore Lang<\/strong>.<\/span><\/em>
\nDo the estates of John Curtin, King O’Malley, and John Dunmore Lang object?<\/p>\n

(from factnet):\u00c2\u00a0 PS. Since I’m posting, I probably should check the election results from this weekend. The CEC got 0.07% of the lower house vote (that’s a swing of -0.15%) and 0.13% in the senate (swing of +0.06%). An unsuprisingly pathetic result, given that this election is significant for it’s swing away from the “major” parties, and given that the financial crisis should have been a dream come true for an organisation who’s been saying “the economic sky is falling!” for so long.Once the numbers are finalised I might look a bit closer (and laugh a bit more) at their election performance now and in the past, if anyone is at all interested.<\/em><\/p>\n

Captain Boycott<\/a> edited Kit Coleman in August 2009, remained dormant for a year, then re-emerged with “previous wording implies that the views are universally held, which I don’t believe the case.”\u00c2\u00a0 Universal enough, I guess.<\/p>\n

We’re galloping straight forward to the Massachusetts primary Day.\u00c2\u00a0 Rachel Brown versus Barney Frank.\u00c2\u00a0 The Big Mystery that surrounds the Rachel Brown for Congress Campaign is … whatever happened to the One Year Anniversary “Weenie Roast”?\u00c2\u00a0 It disappeared off the schedule before the day it would be held, and — even though it was mentioned on the website “wonkette.com”, increasing the chance of “Citizen’s Journalism” of blogging or flickr pointing a camera to bear witness — never showed up again.\u00c2\u00a0 Is it buried in one of the LPAC campaign reports?\u00c2\u00a0 Or do things like this come into the picture<\/a>?<\/p>\n

The Rachel Brown for Congress campaign asked selectmen to allow a political rally on the town green, but selectmen were hesitant to allow a political rally least it open the green up to other, less suitable, requests.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153There\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a big difference between letting the COA or the Boy Scouts use it and letting a political campaign use the green,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Selectman Kim Roy said. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153It opens us up to all kinds of distasteful things.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d
\nChariman Troy Garron worried that saying no would open up the town to a First Amendment lawsuit, but hesitated to say yes because he agreed with Roy.<\/em><\/p>\n

Other news from the Rachel Brown for Congress Campaign — she has challenged Barney Frank to a debate.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 Eh<\/a>. As we can see from Barney Frank’s not accepting a debate, he is “chicken” or “ducking” the debate.\u00c2\u00a0 And now here I turn to advising the Rachel Brown Campaign on campaign tactics.\u00c2\u00a0 Turn to the classic itemes of political theater, tied and true.\u00c2\u00a0 Have someone in a chicken costume and someone in a duck costume chasing after Barney Frank.
\nWITH A HITLER MUSTCHE!!!
\nDamned it, I should bill them for Political Consultant fees.”
\nIt should be noted that had Larouche been invited to any of the presidential debates, he would surely have won and gone on to become President.\u00c2\u00a0 Eight times.\u00c2\u00a0 In perpetuality.\u00c2\u00a0 As it were, we’re stuck with a hypothetical vice presidential slot<\/a>:<\/p>\n

I’d love to see a RP\/LL successful ticket, but I don’t think Lyndon has recovered enough political clout yet.<\/em><\/p>\n

The campaign, as always, continues:<\/p>\n

Join the Rachel Brown campaign for classical concerts of a complete choral work by J.S. Bach (Jesu Meine Freude) and American Patriotic Songs. Let’s defeat that moral degenerate Barney Frank on Sept 14th, and bring beauty and optimism back into politics.<\/em><\/p>\n

Point<\/a> \/ Counterpoint!<\/p>\n

This time around, Frank has a completely irrelevant primary challenger, Rachel Brown\u00c2\u00a0 whom he will utterly defeat.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Curious<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Why wasn’t this titled
\n“One on One with Democrat Crazy Woman Rachel LaRouche Brown”
\nI’m confused,there is no thought forming opinion cleverly placed in this report.
\nOh, you’re not a cheap,petty,hardcore ideologue,partisan hack liberal.
\n<\/em>The two “one on one”s are synonymous?<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

We turn now to the Kesha Rogers for Congress camapgin.\u00c2\u00a0 Rogers has added “NASA” to the NAWAPA formulation, and is running with “NAWPA + NASA = VICTORY!”\u00c2\u00a0 Or, she should be.
\nOkay, nothing’s happening with her campaign.\u00c2\u00a0 Let’s turn to the Post Office Campaign.
\nMound, Minnesota!<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153That is what Hitler and Obama have in common, they believe in killing what they call the end of life years,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d a woman seated by the poster told WCCO, before hurling epithets at the camera operator. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153You are full of lies and treason. You are the reason we are at war, you are the reason we are bankrupt and the reason Obama is president,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d the unidentified woman shouted.
\n<\/em>See too!<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

When further questioned by WCCO-TV, the couple working the booth then called the police and became combative, yelling obscenities at the camera.
\n“You are full of lies and treason. You are the reason we are at war, you are the reason we are bankrupt and the reason Obama is president,” the unidentified woman shouted. […]
\nNick Johnson, a college student from Mound, stopped by the booth to disagree. […]<\/em>Rick Lenkki of Mound, was passing by and refused to accept the literature.
\n“I don’t care for Obama either, but the Nazi symbolism is overblown, too far,” said Rick Lenkki.<\/em><\/p>\n

And over the Rust-belt Tour<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Billington said the group been traveling all over Pennsylvania and New Jersey with their message. He said they go to post offices because it’s a “good place to talk to people.”<\/em><\/p>\n

There’s chaos going on in Alaska, but I haven’t had a time to focus in on it.\u00c2\u00a0 Watch my comments for a linking and reporting.<\/p>\n

On to the Summer Shields Campaign:
\nwhere he redefines his campaign as the NAWAPA candidate, and also a town hall meeting with Basement leader, Sky Shields. <\/em>AND
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

In San Francisco, rallies with a 30-foot-by-8-foot banner (one might say it is also bigger than Texas!) are causing eyes to bug, tempers to flare, and excitement to flow. The head of an engineering department at a local campus said he wants to be part of an organizing committee for NAWAPA, and we are activating decades’ old LaRouche networks at the area’s scientific labs, who are enthused about NAWAPA.<\/em><\/p>\n

Activing decades’ old Larouche networks, heretofore dormant?\u00c2\u00a0 Hot Diggety Dog!
\nYou know, those people manning the post offices — and the Alaska protester who had a police scuffle?\u00c2\u00a0 They’re going to end up with as many voters as Summer Shields — and they’re not even on the ballot!<\/div>\n
…<\/div>\n
Wait.\u00c2\u00a0 I’ve got it!\u00c2\u00a0 This will surely dramatize the issues at stake in the Frank — Barney campaign!
\nSo, we have the “Inner Alfpah Group” Duck — stick that placard over it to identify it.\u00c2\u00a0 The Chicken is the “Lower 90 Percent”.\u00c2\u00a0 The Hitler Mustache is attached to the end of a pogo stick, and under the mustache we have a giant picture of Barney Frank placed over the image of the planet Uranus.\u00c2\u00a0 The Inner Alpha Duck is hazing the Lower 90% Chicken.\u00c2\u00a0 When in walks the Larouchie Loon, who fends off and defeats the Inner Alpha Duck, rips apart the Frank Uranus Hitler Mustache Pogo Stick, and pushes into the picture — a forklift — marked “NAWAPA”!!!\u00c2\u00a0 So the Larouchie Loon then lifts up the Lower 90 Percent Chicken using the NAWAPA Fork-lift.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I don’t know about the Loon.\u00c2\u00a0 I just thought the whole “bird” theme should remain, since we already have the duck and chicken.\u00c2\u00a0 I suppose they still have a gorilla costume in storage, if you want to go with that.<\/div>\n

Don’t discount Rachel Brown yet!<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re all talking about a Stevenson victory this second time around. Ah but there is one thing that can reelect Thompson. As you know, Lyndon Larouche has a field of candidates running in the Democratic party against Stevenson\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s slate. If some of those candidates were to get through\u00e2\u20ac\u201dparticularly the candidate for lieutenant governor, Mark Fairchild\u00e2\u20ac\u201dStevenson would be in a terrible bind. He would have a choice of either running with a decided nut for lieutenant governor\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6someone who says that the Queen of England is engaged in a lesbian love affair with Golda Meir, the prime minister of Israel\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6or having to leave the Democratic party and run as a third party candidate which would surely cause him to lose to Thompson.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/em><\/p>\n

We all sat transfixed at the theory but were highly skeptical.. Most of the supposedly alert media was reporting that Stevenson\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s choice for lieutenant governor, State Rep. George Sangmeister of Frankfort was unopposed. He was a fine lawmaker and his name was well-known to Illinois Democrats. Similarly, Stevenson\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s choice for secretary of state was Aurelia Pucinski, the daughter of Roman Pucinski a longtime congressman and alderman and a leader in the Polish community. We dismissed Phil\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s analysis as fatuous.<\/em><\/p>\n

Or, you know.\u00c2\u00a0 Do.<\/p>\n

This is Gerald Pechenuk; I was the Campagign Manager for the LaRouche Democratic Candidates in the 1980\u00e2\u20ac\u00b2s and 1990\u00e2\u20ac\u00b2s.
\nPhil impressed me as a wise person in the times I heard him speak in various settings, so your report on his forecast of victories by LaRouche candidates certainly shows he had his ears to the ground, and detect a pulse that others, such as David Axelrod, Stevenson\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Campaign Manager at that time, could NOT \u00e2\u20ac\u0153SEE,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d or \u00e2\u20ac\u0153HEAR!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d
\nOne irony to be noted in light of a recent trial of an impeached Governor.
\nSuppose, let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s just suppose for a minute, Adlai, who is still alive and kicking, could add to this picture, suppose Adlai had taken the advice of Sen. Alan Dixon, and Cook County Democratic Chairman Ed Vrodolyak and STAYED ON THE TICKET of the Democratic Party in 1986. HE WOULD HAVE BEEN ELECTED GOVERNOR!!!! (I know some would disagree with that, but I KNOW EXACTLY HOW HE WOULD HAVE ELECTED).
\nThen Jim Edgar, and George Ryan, and Rod Blagojevich WOULD NEVER HAVE BECOME Governors of Illinois!!!!
\nAnd, probably most consequential of all, Adlai Stevenson would have been the Democratic Nominee for US PRESIDENT in 1988 or 1992, and probably gone on to become PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!!!!! <\/em><\/p>\n

So, the threats that were delivered to Adlai to drop off, by Sen. Paul Simon, among others, (again Adlai could be asked to fill in more of the picture here) changed the course of US and World History.<\/em><\/p>\n

I wonder if Phil Krone can ask a few people from his present vantage point about that!!!!
\n<\/em>Or, if not president, Adlai Stevenson III would have become a laughingstock.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
