I received a literature package from EIR. Lyndon Larouche.

Someone signed me up for this.

Whats the deal with Larouche? Is he a total whackjob or legitimate?

I just started reading "Children of Satan". A little book that was included in the package.

1. First option. (nt)

2. Barking Dog

Haven't you ever taken his people to task in an airport? They're quite relentless, until you push them up against wall of Larouche's hallucinations. Then you're "an asshole." Least that's what the one called me in Sea-Tac one day.

3. High Weirdness By Mail - Fun and Profit

High Weirdness By Mail
By Rev. Ivan Stang

In the preface to High Weirdness by Mail, the Reverend Ivan Stang notes that "the Traveling Snake-Oil Medicine Show isn't dead -- it just travels by mail." And High Weirdness, a compendium of sources for mail-order snake oil, proves his point. If you're willing to invest the price of a few stamps, the book points out, "soon, A MILLION CONTRADICTORY PATHS TO HAPPINESS will be vying for your personal attention in the mailbox, paths ranging from inadvertently hilarious delusions to the wisdom of the ages, yet -- and this is the most revealing part -- each one the only TRUE PATH!!"

Some of the best sarcasm is more subtle, arising when Stang simply paraphrases the beliefs of whatever weird group he's describing. From the Showers of Blessing House of Prayer for All People, we learn that "angels surround us, and they'll feed us if we let them. Their Biblical Manna dough tastes like fudge, and you can get boxes of it in Iraq -- it's supplied to churches there by some inexplicable natural phenomenon." Rare is the reader who will require more information to determine if this is the address he or she wants to squander a stamp on.

And in almost every debunking, no matter how biting, Stang's overriding philosophy comes through. About the Battle Cry of Aggressive Christianity, he says, "Okay, sure -- they are dangerous, hopelessly ignorant, inbred, retarded borderline lunatics with an insatiable lust for the blood of sinners -- but at least they're HONEST about it, which somehow lends them a little more dignity than wimpy mainstreamers who hide the same feelings behind polite hatred." Clearly, despite his claims to the contrary, this book wants to make you think.

Stang can hardly believe how many crazies there are out there, but he thinks we should at least notice them. As he says in the preface, "The great mystic J.R. "Bob" Dobbs often preached on this. 'You know how dumb the average guy is?...Well, by definition, half of them are even dumber than that.' Sad but true, and getting worse each year. The kooks are our future."

Ties to neo-Nazi organizations. Organizing gangs of chain-wielding neo-blackshirts. Bizarre homophobic rants. And more.

5. Larouchites say some good things, but the good things they say

are also said by others. The bad and weird things they say are all their own.

6. Lyndon Larouche - S.C.T.V. couldn't have come up with his stuff.

The wierdest thing about his gag is that some of it does go back to some truth but gets lost in translation from what ever planet he is from.

7. Larouche is a fucking lunatic.

He thinks that Queen Elizabeth II controls the world drug trade and that the British Empire still secretly rules the US and most of the world, among other things.
