confirmed, this is even a official larouchian pamphlet ..<br><br>see <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaRouche_movement">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaRouche_movement</a> for the basic info,<br><br>I encountered them in early 80s when they would still physically attack progressive gatherings ..<br>
<br>more opinionated than the wikipedia, is this cultsite, <a href="http://www.culthelp.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1001&Itemid=14">http://www.culthelp.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1001&Itemid=14</a> .., it writes ..<br>
<br>"LaRouche is one of those political trippers that has managed to take the
bend all the way around from the Far Left to the Far Right, without
breaking his neck. "<br><br>a bit on their views:<br><br><p>LaRouche's main thesis is that the 'Anglo-American cabal,' which
involves George Bush, the English monarchy, and some other ingredients,
has decided to undertake a programme of genocidal IMF/World
Bank-financed de-industrialization to deplete the population of the
Third World. The cabal's plan includes "narcotrafficking"; environmental
policies to prevent those countries from developing economically;
'Malthusian' population policies which incorporate birth control,
abortion, and allowing disease and hunger free rein; profiteering
through 'neo-colonial' resource control; the "lab-created" AIDs virus;
and promotion of 'antifamily' ideals such as feminism, homosexuality,
Satanism, and "the sex-drugs-rock and roll counterculture." This
conspiracy theory, needless to say, is a grab bag of far right and far
left nut worries. LaRouche believes that only massive industrial
projects - nuclear power, huge irrigation canals dug with atomic bombs
(!) in the Middle East, and similar high-tech developments - can free
the Third World from the sinister grasp of the oligarchs' cabal.</p>LaRouche
has other windmills to tilt his lance at. For one thing, he wants to
move toward a "Hamiltonian" economic model, which is neither
laissez-faire nor communist. (Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson
argued over the future economic shape of America. Jefferson saw a land
of small, dispersed planters, farmers, and "Virginia gentlemen."
Hamilton thought America would develop through a strong Central Bank
which financed industrial development and fostered growth of urban
centres, not rural farmers. Hamilton was right on one score -
"Jeffersonian" democracy meant slavery for another 100 years.) In his
"Science of Christian Economy," LaRouche blames a lot of modern problems
on <em>usury</em>, the lending of money at excessive interest. LaRouche
also blames much of our 'cultural' breakdown on a move away from
classicism in the arts - particularly the well-honed musical scale,
Schiller's great poetry, and Renaissance naturalism in painting. Ever
the Neo-Platonist, LaRouche lambasts the "Aristotelian" thinking which
he sees behind our legal and other institutions. LaRouche's plan to
'reclassicize' our lives includes a whole new way of envisioning <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">---------- Forwarded message ----------<br>From: <b class="gmail_sendername">Michel Bauwens</b> <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:michel@p2pfoundation.net">michel@p2pfoundation.net</a>></span><br>

<br><br>this seems like an original book, judging from the preface alone,<br><br>I wonder if anyone is familiar with this history of the struggle against 'empire' ?<br><br>One caveat though, it has a reference to LaRouche in the preface, and it you know anything about this extreme righ-wing cult, this should let the alarm bells ringing,<br>
<br>I'm not at all familiar with the charge that Soros was responsible for stripping the jews in budapest of their possessions, that just doesn't ring true to me?<br><br>Michel<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br>
