9 predictions, these predictions, without exception, have warned the crisis was coming and then verify the facts, including the well-known the United States in 1973 the Great Depression and the 1998 Asian financial crisis. Different with the majority of economists is that LaRouche is not concerned about the model of economic data, but studying the trend of capital accumulation, such as those who decide the future long-term development of society's material and cultural factors. July 2007, LaRouche issued a warning to the world once again that unless the United States, China, Russia and India together the four countries to reshape the world financial system,金融寡头out of control, otherwise, is sweeping through the world of a serious economic crisis will soon be arrival. At that time, Wall Street was "up the sound," bullish on the occasion, many people scoff at the warning, but after just one year, LaRouche's prediction come true once again.

Interview has just begun, already 87-year-old LaRouche will be very surprising remarks: "The current world financial system is already breaking down, hopeless, and this shows the global credit crisis triggered by the financial crisis can be clearly seen this point. "LaRouche in accordance with the theory of the continued deterioration of the current financial crisis is the United States since 1971, implemented the inevitable outcome of the financial system. LaRouche believes that the U.S. economic crisis is bound to the basic point is: kind of production has kept on declining while the number of virtual currencies have continued to rise, the real economy and a virtual currency down two curves, one upward, the two have had a huge departure from the , when the number of virtual money far exceeds the number of in kind, the world will be a disaster.

In LaRouche it the 60s from the 20th century from the U.S. economy began to gradually金融寡头controlled by, the United States toward a recession resulting from a work hard up, and constantly open up the innovation-oriented country into a profit-seeking and greed of the country, people people do not expect energy costs can be wealthy by cutting "foreign wool" --- the exploitation of living in other countries. To this end, the United States continue to pass their crisis to other parties. However, from the beginning of the Asian financial crisis, the financial crisis, more and more infectious, more and more destructive. "Foreign sheep" are dead, then how can the United States continues to rely on the "shearing" of survival?

LaRouche himself has a healthy and civilized reshape the mission of the West to restore since the Renaissance has been distorted beyond the Western civilization, the essence of Plato's philosophy to restore the kind of initiative to explore the humane spirit of the laws of nature, in theory, to the rehabilitation Riemann and other German scientists to create a "physical economics" policy to restore at the time of Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal approach, control of financial capital for the industrial rehabilitation of low-interest loans to re-create the spirit of the Americans glow. To this end, he repeatedly called on world leaders to co-operate to build a new international financial and monetary system.

LaRouche in favor of the Chinese government has adopted financial control and economic restructuring policies. He said 70 of the last century with the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States as well as China's reform and opening-up policy, China's economy has entered a 30-year period of rapid growth. LaRouche believes that the rapid development of China's economy mainly due to cost-based comparative advantage of foreign trade, but the disadvantages of the mode of economic growth is also very clear that China's export-oriented economy is heavily dependent on external markets, as soon as Europe and the United States economy issues, China's exports slowed down or even stagnation in certain areas, China is bound to seriously affect the economy as a whole. Facts have proved that China's economy was indeed in this round of financial crisis, China has good control of capital items, thus avoiding the greater loss.

LaRouche emphasized that the world economy has reached a crossroads, and any you want to save the old efforts of the international financial system is futile, the only viable solution is to return through the bankruptcy reorganization of the national credit system. LaRouche said that the legal concept in the United States, the bankruptcy reorganization is designed to help enterprises from difficulties, and now need a means to bankrupt the country as soon as possible from the financial crisis.

According to LaRouche's proposal, the United States should be abolished because of the excessive financial derivatives "leveraged" and caused a large number of virtual debt, and reasonable to assume debt, which return to the United States Treasury Secretary Hamilton's first envisaged in the national credit system, that is, control by the State Bank and credit the national debt. And in the international community, then the establishment of a sovereign state based on equality between the international credit system in the treaty. Through the fixed exchange rate system to determine the international commodity prices, the adoption of equality between sovereign States of the international treaty to provide adequate credit. LaRouche believes that the United States, China, Russia, India is the world's largest and most populous of the sovereign state, it is by agreement between the four countries to agree a new world will be an important foundation for the economy.

LaRouche believes that the development of the whole of Asia is the next frontier of human cultural development. China is the key to the development of the Eurasian continent. He said that China, through 30 years of rapid economic growth by leaps and bounds, but it is undeniable that there are still large numbers of people are not wealthy, so common across the three generations to work out a goal, by improving the water conservancy, energy and other infrastructure to enhance the productive capacity of this group of people. China, of course, need to change the mode of economic growth from export-oriented domestic demand-pull into, because China has a huge potential for the internal market, but relying on China's own capital is far from enough, which requires other countries to support a large number of physical capital . Russia is rich in mineral resources, through an agreement to provide China with a large number of high-quality mineral resources, Japan can export advanced technology to China, South Korea and other countries to play their respective roles, so in Asia and the Pacific Rim will be the formation of the world's largest rapid economic growth zone, which eventually led out of the world economic crisis.

October 7, 2008--On Oct. 3, Arabic CNN (arabic.cnn.com) reported on the comments recently made about Lyndon LaRouche and his economic forecasts, by Russian Railway Minister Vladimir Yakunin. Yakunin's remarks were reported in the Oct. 2 issue of the Russian business dailiy Kommersant. The following is a translation of the report as it appeared on October 3, on (arabic.cnn.com):

Title: Russia Discusses the Establishment of a New World Financial System with Arabs

Moscow, (CNN)--The U.S. Congress voted for the adoption of the "bailout package" which was proposed by the Bush Administration, in an attempt to save the financial sector from a crisis that surfaced more than a year and half ago, according to the views of the American economic expert Lyndon LaRouche.

LaRouche had stated, in a meeting with the Russian economist and Russian Railway Minister Vladimir Yakunin, that what was threatening the economy is the move away from the real physical economic reality into a virtual reality based on financial paper.

The U.S. bailout plan consists of pumping $700 billion into the financial sector, according to Novosti news agency. Yakunin sees that this means saving the private bankers and not the economy, stressing that the Russian financial authorities should not do anything of that sort, but rather extend a helping hand to the productive institutions and companies that are capable of supporting the national economy.

Yakunin believes that what is happening in the United States is evidence of the end of financial liberalism, which is pushing the world to establish a new economic theory, so that the world would not again live under a currency without basis called the dollar.
Yakunin emphasized that what Russian President Medvedev announced about Russia's interest in hosting an international financial center using the Russian ruble as a payment unit, is on the table of discussion with senior Arab financial managers. He added that this is the sign of the birth of a new financial system.

LaRouche epistemilogically developed a unique approach that can be called "philosophy of breakthrough." The essence of this "breakthrough" that LaRouche sees as the true vocation of man throughout the history of humanity is that a creative mind, overcoming the prevailing ideas about the universe, and at the same time drawing on previous experience of humanity, opening up new physical principles, breaks in the new field of knowledge, expanding the range of possibilities of humanity, reinforcing his dominance over nature, and creating conditions for sustained growth of the the human race. This, in turn, increases the "breakthrough" for the collective human mind and increases the number of creative and skilled workers, who are preparing new cognitive breakthroughs... Like O. Spengler, he bases his approach on the achievements of a wide variety of fields of knowledge: from the philosophy of Plato to the mathematical works of Georg Cantor, Kurt Gödel... And here is the time to dwell on the notion of physical economy, as the key to the economic theory of L. LaRouche. Better, perhaps, to give the definition of T. Muranivsky in the preface to the Russian edition of the book "physical economy," as Plato's epistemological foundation of all branches of human knowledge: "The physical features of studying economics and principles of development of the material (physical) production to quantify and qualitative improvement of filling a "market basket" based on continuous scientific and technological progress to ensure the long-term survival of mankind on earth."

Those people who tuned in CBS at 8:30 p.m. on Saturday heard the 62- year-old computer tycoon and economist read a tedious speech on the need for a crash program to build anti-missile beam weapons to protect against a Soviet nuclear missile attack, the dangers of a fifth column in the leadership of the Democratic Party and the reasons the United States should return to the gold standard.

His opponent is Patrick Miller, 31, of Stratford, an operations-control worker at the Getty Oil Refinery in Delaware City, Del., who is running on the platform of millionaire-conservative Lyndon H. LaRouche. Miller is basing his campaign on promoting laser-beam technology for civilian employment and national defense, on revamping the economy along a modified version of the gold standard, and on strong U.S. support for the NATO alliance.

Q: Many parts of Houston remain under development restrictions because of inadequate sewage treatment capacity. Are rate increases needed to finance construction of additional facilities?

[DEZELL] YOUNG: There is federal money available that is not being spent by the City of Houston. In District D there is massive unemployment, extensive street and drainage problems and thousands of dilapidated structures that should be razed by the city. Ultimately, we can only improve capital investment by reorganizing the U.S. economy, placing the dollar on the gold standard, and issuing low-interest credit to finance infrastructure, housing and capital goods production. There are numerous little old hole-in-the-wall joints dealing drugs in the area that should be shut down.

[..]

Q: What is the most pressing concern in your district? What should be done by City Council to address that concern?

YOUNG: We need a council member in District D with the guts to stand for what is morally right and to oppose what is morally wrong. I am running on the economic platform of Lyndon LaRouche, which once again can build great American cities: cheap credit, great culture, mandatory services and infrastructure development to continuously raise the living standards, production of goods for world markets to extend the blessings of American system abroad.

LaRouche, 64, of Leesburg, Va., and candidates advanced by his National Democratic Policy Committee say they believe that economic ruin and war with the Soviet Union are imminent. They favor a return to the gold standard, a huge military buildup, mandatory testing for AIDS and quarantining of AIDS victims.

He has compared his own writings to the works of Dante, St. Augustine and Plato. Anyone who believes critical reports about him are "crazy, insane" or "a total illiterate and mental case," he says.

LaRouche now believes that economic ruin and war with the Soviets are both imminent. He favors a return to the gold standard and a huge military buildup. He advocates nationalizing the U.S. steel industry and strongly supports the use of nuclear energy.

Among his slogans: "Nuclear Power Is Safer Than Sex," and "Feed Jane Fonda to the Whales."

Dixon and Gallager are running on the same platform, which they said is based on LaRouche's ideas. Both said they are affiliated with the National Democratic Policy Committee, LaRouche's political organization. [..]

Among other things, the [John] Gallagher and [Lonny] Dixon platform calls for a one-year moratorium on mortgage foreclosures and bankruptcies, tax reforms and regulation of trade in food shipping.

The platform also supports building an antimissile laser system like President Reagan's controversial "Star Wars" program. Gallagher said the Federal Reserve System should be converted into a government entity and money should be based on a gold standard.

Both Gallagher and Dixon said they support mandatory testing for AIDS, and Dixon said he supports quarantining victims of the disease.

Saying he is a close associate of political extremist LaRouche, Schlanger said he does not embrace LaRouche's extremist views.

LaRouche, in prison for conspiracy and mail fraud, has called for a quarantine of AIDS patients and has urged basing U.S. currency on the gold standard.

In a recent Washington press conference, he characterized his critics as insane, pro-Soviet or linked to an international drug lobby; accused White House Chief of Staff Donald T.

"We are experiencing a drug money laundering operation," Kaiziger said. According to literature distributed by the political action committee, the U.S. is the major host country for drug traffickers who deposit illegal profits in major banks. Locally, Nafziger said the committee sees punishment of banks for laundering drug trafficking money as a way to solve Maryland's savings and loan crisis. Confiscated monies from any bank punished for drug money laundering could be tunneled into a bailout of the state's troubled savings and loan insurance fijnd "We could use the money to pay off the state debt or invest in its infrastructure," Nafziger said. Through banking law loopholes, drug traffickers are able to deposit large amounts of foreign profits in American banks without reporting where the money came from. The committee wants the U.S. to get tough on banks which don't report the origins of deposits of more than $10,000. The committee's Frederick visit was timed with a speech before the National Press Club in Washington on political legislation. "We're a citizen's candidate movement, signing up members to join," Nafziger said. "We're building a tidal wave of citizenry across the country." They weren't getting much response Tuesday, but that didn't daunt their efforts. The group is campaigning in favor of the Star Wars national defense program and a return to the American system of economics. "We want government investments in the infrastructure and a return to the gold standard," Nafziger said. The group also supports a return of tne federal reserve system to congressional control, Nafziger said. Low-interest loans for things like sports stadiums should be allowed, for instance, but at much higher interest rates, he said. The group also advocates the U.S. to work with foreign countries on a way to reduce foreign and farm debts. "It would give farmers and Third World countries a chance to start producing again," he said. A debt restructure that would allow a year's moratorium on debts held by farmers and Third World countries wouia allow banks io restructure uic loans. Otherwise, Nafziger said, "we're headed for a total bank collapse."

LaRouche has no college degrees, but claims to have a perfect record for predicting the world economy. He said the current economy is similar to that of 1339 because it is on the verge of collapse.

He believes the public lacks the political will to stop the collapse, and that once it occurs, he can solve the problems by putting the Federal Reserve into bankruptcy, returning to the gold standard and creating major building projects to provide jobs.

In fact, no LaRouche cadre has been elected to office at any level higher than school board. Nor have his economic theories attained any kind of recognition.

The collapse might occur this spring, or summer, or next autumn; it could come next year; it will almost certainly occur during President William Clinton's first term in office; it will occur soon. That collapse into disintegration is inevitable, because it could not be stopped now by anything but the politically improbable decision by leading governments to put the relevant financial and monetary institutions into bankruptcy reorganization.

The collapse is inevitable because it could not be stopped now by anything, except a politically improbable decision by leading governments to put the relevant financial and monetary institutions into bankruptcy reorganization." A number of prominent economists, including the French Nobel Prize-winner Maurice Allais, also warned of an impending financial disaster.

• The presently ongoing crash of the world's present financial system, defines a breaking point in the century of the preceding, post McKinley-assassination, cultural and political history of our planet as a whole. The fact, that the present financial system is beyond saving, requires our acceptance of the available new system waiting in the wings.(See New Bretton Woods.) Either the world accepts that proposed, admittedly radical change, toward a Hamilton-List-Carey defined notion of "American System of Political Economy", and its great infrastructure development perspective very soon, or the planet may plunge into a spiral of economic and demographic collapse, what is fairly described as a new dark age.

Predictions: secondary sources

One recurring theme of the LaRouchian ideology is that the world faces nuclear war or world starvation unless his ideas are implemented, according to LaRouche's writings.

In the last 10 years, LaRouche has issued countless warnings that the world was doomed in the coming months, according to the group's literature.

"There are about 200 predictions about the collapse of the world economy, each of which didn't add up," one ex-member said. "Amnesia is one of the necessary qualificiations for membership."

[Wayne] Evans, and Senatorial candidate Graham Lowry ol Boston, were In Lowell recently to explain their party's platform and petition drive fo get 36,000 signatures to get on the ballot in this state. Unless they do, Evans says, the United States will collapse In economic ruin. What Is happening now In this country is insanity," says Evans, who adds tin only salvation for the worker and economy is the Labor Party platform of production instead of austerity, and immediate establishment of a debt moraloria. THE LABOR PARTY blames the capitalist structure, and the monetary influence of the Rockefellers, for most of the country's woes and proposes a three-step program for recovery: a debt moratorium, nationalization of banks, and government supported full-scale production. The moratorium would be for not less than 18 months and would cover carriedforward debts of agriculture, slate and local governments, public authorities and utilities. Production is needed at an estimated {200 million to {250 m i l l i o n , according to LaRouche, who says in his Presidential P l a t f o rm statement: "Given these basic facts there is no mystery as to the cause of the vicious incompetence of the Rockefeller-Ford regime or the foolish babbling of windbags like Hubert Humphrey." The party predicts international disaster by 1980 because of economic policy ai:d subsequent mass starvation and diseases in depressed regions which LaRouche says will lead to viruses, bacteria, and insects cannibalizing the earth's biosphere, "possibly rendering the human race itself virtually extinct within about 15 years." Evans says the U.S. must produce goods and "invest immediately in expanded technologies, including fusion, to prevent death through energy crises." Lowry says the Labor Party wants retooling of the aerospace industry to machines and food production. He points to Lowell as the epitome of what has gone wrong with capitalism, calling the city "a graveyard ... a museum... a monument to capitalist destruction," perpetuated by Rockefellertype thinking. THE PARTY believes that contrary to what it calls Rockefeller limits to growth, there are no objective ecological or other boundaries preventing an immediate and sustained rapid expansion of industrialized development of the globe.- The party wants an International Development Bank which depends on initial agreement between the U.S. and Soviet bloc economies and a commitment to accelerate industrial development and agricultural production. , Evans says "debt causes economic collapse," and the major party candidates can't realize it. "Capitalism is cannibalizing Itself," he says, adding capitalists "have nothing else to loot," because of depression. Lowry says capitalists view the economic base of society as "paper money," while working-class people believe in putting money to work through production. Lowry adds the practices leading to recession and depression are social in structure and are "conscious genocide," through the power brokers of the country. [..]

The most frequent targets of USLP attacks are Jewish and Zionist groups. In his 1978 mayoral campaign, Mr. Sanders wrote that NALP members had been barred from political meetings by Zionist and Chinese drugpeddling allies (who) are freaked out about losing their $100-billion-a-year drug revenues. The NALP platform in Metro Toronto included promises to: Gather . . . evidence to arrest the Bronfman family . . .

A native of Springfield who lives in West Philadelphia, Douglas received 35 percent of the vote in last May's Democratic gubernatorial primary in Philadelphia County. In 1980, he ran the losing Democratic presidential campaign of Lyndon LaRouche, who had been the U.S. Labor Party's presidential candidate in 1976, when Douglas ran for Congress on the same ticket.

His platform for running Philadelphia is national and global in nature - and advocated by the National Democratic Policy Committee, a New York-based political action committee headed by LaRouche that has endorsed Douglas for mayor. The two campaign workers who disrupted the Democratic debate are on the committee's staff. [..]

And the biggest impediment to world trade is the "debt-bomb" of the Third World - money commercially lent to developing countries that are not generating enough wealth to repay it. The debt comes to $600 billion, he says, largely owed to Western banks, some of them in Philadelphia.

His solution involves: freezing the debt for 10 years; returning U.S. currency to the gold standard; and creating an international banking facility that would issue gold-backed bonds to developing countries so that they could buy capital goods from the U.S. and other advanced countries to build hydroelectric power plants, cities, and roads - projects that could generate wealth to pay off what is now an unpayable debt.

This year's primary campaign has been enlivened by an intra-party struggle in Burlington County, an incipient Republican upheaval in Camden County and the presence of 32 candidates whose platform consists largely of support for "beam technology."

The "beam" candidates are running in various primaries with support from the National Democratic Policy Committee, a fund-raising group headed by Lyndon H. LaRouche Jr., who sought the Democratic presidential nomination in 1980 under the U.S. Labor Party banner.

They contend that development of laser and particle-beam weapons - a step urged by President Reagan in a March 23 address - would not only deter a Soviet missile attack but would stimulate a spectacular economic recovery.

To a casual observer, Mr. LaRouche is a bit of a joke - a quixotic right-winger who supports President Ronald Reagan's defence policy and has an unusual fear of conspiracies and assassination. "Since late 1973, I have been repeatedly the target of serious assassination threats and my wife has been three times the target of attempted assassination," he said in a lengthy statement last September announcing his candidacy for the third successive election. "My enemies are the circles of McGeorge Bundy, Henry Kissinger, Soviet President Yuri Andropov, W. Averell Harriman, certain powerful bankers, and the Socialist and Nazi Internationals, as well as international drug traffickers, Colonel Gadaffi, Ayatollah Khomaini and the Malthusian lobby." Those people who tuned in CBS at 8:30 p.m. on Saturday heard the 62- year-old computer tycoon and economist read a tedious speech on the need for a crash program to build anti-missile beam weapons to protect against a Soviet nuclear missile attack, the dangers of a fifth column in the leadership of the Democratic Party and the reasons the United States should return to the gold standard.

This is LaRouche's third try at the presidency. Again, he is predicting that we are on the verge of a global thermonuclear war and a worldwide economic disaster that he can prevent.

LaRouche this year is actually running for president against former Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger, who is not a candidate but whom LaRouche contends has so infiltrated the government that he controls it through surrogates such as President Reagan and would continue to do so if LaRouche's Democratic opponents win.

LaRouche is convinced that important people fear him enough to order his execution, that voters like him and that the national media conspire against him. [..] In a recent telephone interview, LaRouche said that his program for steel mills involved reopening them with government intervention.

LaRouche this year is stressing his "beam-weapon defense program," which calls for beefing up the country's defenses with high technology, laser-type beams.

Mel Klenetsky, LaRouche's national campaign coordinator, said the chief campaign problem is a conspiracy among news organizations to vilify or ignore LaRouche.

"We are not misunderstood by the general population," Klenetsky said. "He is vilified by the press because he has powerful enemies" such as Kissinger who have "influence over the press," he added.

Klenetsky said LaRouche receives no major coverage of his issues "unless it is a major hack job" and has been called "everything from a communist to a fascist to a Zionist agent."

"But he really is a patriot," Klenetsky said. LaRouche described himself as a "traditional American liberal."

LaRouche said he had been attempting to get a spot in the Pittsburgh debate "but they don't like me because I am trying to get at the truth."

LaRouche said "anyone who thinks I cannot win more than 20,000 or 30,000 votes in Pennsylvania doesn't know what is going on." He said his vote totals have been consistently misrepresented in past elections by "conspiratorial" news organizations and election workers. LaRouche will be on primary ballots in 18 states besides Pennsylvania.

Regarding Kissinger and Democratic opponents Gary Hart and Walter F. Mondale, LaRouche said: "Kissinger represented the large-scale takeover of foreign and monetary policy in the Reagan administration. Mondale is to a large degree a Kissinger man and Hart even more so.

"Therefore, we are talking about Hart or Reagan or Mondale, a vote for any of them would effectively be voting for Henry Kissinger," he said.

"I may not be the front-runner, but I am the only candidate running in the right direction," LaRouche said.

— TWO DEMOCRATS WHO ARE NOT QUITE FRONT-RUNNERS Joyce Gemperlein. Philadelphia Inquirer. Philadelphia, Pa.: Apr 2, 1984. pg. A.7

All three candidates support LaRouche's national platform, which calls, in part, for the ousting of Kissinger from any position of governmental influence, the building of a particle beam defense system for the United States and a rejuvenation of the nation's steel industry. [..] LaRouche contends Kissinger is a Soviet agent who is carrying out the orders of a clique of powerful Britons and Americans who are intent on world domination.

What they are saying is, let the Soviets have a bigger empire, LaRouche said in an telephone interview Friday from his Virginia home. Then we'll sit back and wait for the Soviet empire to crumble internally . . . They (Kissinger's alleged backers) would then emerge as the world victors. It's one of those wild utopian dreams.

I mean it sounds like one of those crazy science fiction things . . . I personally think these people are all kooks, but unfortunately they have power. I think we should keep them in a cabaret where they can put on a show and people can laugh at them.

"Our goal is to defeat Henry Kissinger," said Khushro Ghandhi, LaRouche's West Coast campaign representative. LaRouche has accused the former secretary of state of collusion with the Soviets and slowing the current U.S. military buildup.

The LaRouche platforms dwell on such matters as laser-beam defense systems, development of nuclear fusion and giving the president more control over the Federal Reserve Board, which sets monetary policy.

"We need an economic industrial recovery so we can afford to deal with AIDS," he said.

DEZELL YOUNG,: Cuts in services would cripple the city. Tax increases should be targeted only at speculative business; new productive businesses should get tax incentives to encourage them to expand employment as rapidly as possible. We should encourage industries producing new laser technologies, computers, steel and automobiles, to locate in Houston. Our city should be the center for federal contracts for laser application of beam defense systems. [..] We need more policemen and a larger budget to help stop drug trafficking, kidnapping, violent crimes and to halt the fear in the communities. The more visible the officers are, the less fearful the citizenry. The department should develop better relationships with the community in fighting the drug mafia. [..] The city hasn't spent enough on transit and infrastructure. Also, collapsed living standards and inadequate sanitary infrastructure make us vulnerable to the spread of AIDS. City Council must enforce blood screening of employees in touch-contact with the public, and quarantine persons found to have AIDS. Chronic-care facilities must be opened immediately. To finance these improvements, we must increase the tax base by expanding employment in productive jobs and request more federal aid.[..] There is federal money available that is not being spent by the City of Houston. In District D there is massive unemployment, extensive street and drainage problems and thousands of dilapidated structures that should be razed by the city. Ultimately, we can only improve capital investment by reorganizing the U.S. economy, placing the dollar on the gold standard, and issuing low-interest credit to finance infrastructure, housing and capital goods production. There are numerous little old hole-in-the-wall joints dealing drugs in the area that should be shut down.

Corruption destroys families and schools, as well as churches.

His organization's candidates are championing at least five key issues. They include:

Opposition to the Gramm-Rudman balanced-budget law. Klenetsky calls it unconstitutional. The law takes defense and general welfare categories out of the hands of the President and Congress, where the Constitution puts them and holds other areas, such as interest on the debt, sacrosanct, says Klenetsky. This is a law written by international bankers and a surrender of national sovereignty, LaRouche forces charge.

Support for SDI, including advocacy of fusion power and laser research. A strategic defense plan is essential to counter growing Soviet military power, Klenetsky says. He adds: The Soviets have more than 10,000 scientists who have been working on this project since the end of the 1960s.

Opposition to decoupling with Europe. A number of leading defense thinkers, LaRouche charges, are trying to split the US from its European allies by pulling American troops out of Europe. The Soviets are also for this, Klenetsky notes.

Support for a major war on drugs. LaRouche candidate Janice Hart in Illinois says it's time to roll out the tanks in an all-out effort against drug pushers, drug smugglers, and also banks that are laundering drug money. Communists are using drugs as a weapon against the West, Klenetsky says. LaRouche forces claim drugs have become a $400 million-to-$800 million-a-year business which could not survive without complicity from major US banks.

Drastic action against the disease AIDS. LaRouche would require universal testing for AIDS, and quarantine those who have it. There is a cover-up on the AIDS issue, says Klenetsky.

In larger towns and cities, speakers would demand tougher treatment of drug traffickers and isolation of AIDS victims.

— LaRouche challenges in Texas prompt activity, Associated Press THE FREDERICK POST, FREDERICK, MD-, FRIDAY, APRIL 4, 1986 A-9

At first glance, the issues emphasized by Mr. LaRouche's political group, such as supporting the idea of a space-based defense against missile attacks, seem a normal part of the political debate.

In recent speeches and articles, Mr. LaRouche urges a return to traditional moral values, warns of a Soviet military buildup, assails drug trafficking and expresses a deep confidence in the progress of science and technology. His political group has placed a particular focus on the outbreak of AIDS, urging a program of mandatory mass testing and the quarantining of those who suffer from the acquired immune deficiency syndrome.

In the interview, Mr. LaRouche said such issues as AIDS, crime and economic distress were attracting increasing numbers of blue-collar workers, farmers and minorities to him.

But behind these and other themes that might raise few eyebrows at a meeting of conservatives is a constellation of conspiracy theories, articulated in language far beyond the normal bounds of political discourse.

Asked if he believed that Queen Elizabeth II was knowingly involved in drug trafficking, for example, Mr. LaRouche said, "Of course she is."

He also argues that a variety of forces are plotting to kill him. In the interview he said the K.G.B., the Soviet security agency, was "on my tail." He said Mr. Kissinger, the former Secretary of State, had "run operations against me, and these have been operations that involved assassination threats and assassination potentialities."

British intelligence has also worked against him, Mr. LaRouche said, and numerous others have plotted to kill him. Asked about these accusations, he said, "You can't put them all in the same - they are not all part of one coherent plot." But, he added, "in each case where we name someone, there is a basis for it." Now, he said, "I have got Colombian drug pushers and some others - there's a hit out against me."

The opening sentence of his autobiography, published in 1979, said that "the most powerful adversary available to anyone in the Western World has not only expressed a wish for my early demise" but "has set into motion specialized capabilities of an assassination-relevant sort."

As a result of those fears, Mr. LaRouche lives on a heavily guarded estate in Leesburg, Va., and said he did not permit news cameras on the site because he feared disclosure of his security arrangements. "The fact that it exists is no secret," he said. "But how the details - where people are posted, what they do and how they do it -that's a road map for an assassin."

A 'Necktie Party' For Secretary Shultz

Mr. Kissinger is one of the most frequent targets of Mr. LaRouche's attacks. In his speeches and writings, Mr. LaRouche has accused Mr. Kissinger of being a "Soviet agent of influence," of "orchestrating" the 1973 war in the Middle East and the 1973-74 oil crisis and of generally playing "a key role in many bloody and treasonous acts against vital U.S. strategic interests."

Most recently, Mr. LaRouche accused Mr. Kissinger of helping to topple the Philippine leader, Ferdinand E. Marcos. In an article in the Feb. 28 issue of Executive Intelligence Review, a publication affiliated with his movement, Mr. LaRouche described Mr. Marcos as "a leader committed to gaining for the Philippines the same kinds of benefits which our forefathers described in the Declaration of Independence."

In the interview, Mr. LaRouche said Mr. Kissinger "should be exposed for what he is." "He's evil," he continued. "I believe in redemption, but I haven't seen any redeeming qualities in Henry Kissinger."

Mr. LaRouche also asserts that there is an international network of drug traffickers that includes not only the British monarchy but numerous banks and other officials.

Other frequent targets of Mr. LaRouche and his followers are the International Monetary Fund, "the Eastern Establishment," W. Averell Harriman and the State Department.

A recent editorial in New Solidarity, the Larouche-affiliated newspaper, opposes the Reagan Administration's campaign to win renewed aid for the Nicaraguan rebels and blames Secretary of State George P. Shultz in large part for the policy.

It concludes: "ouldn't it be more sensible - and a whole lot more fun -to 'support George Shultz' and his allies by organizing an old-fashioned necktie party on the steps of the State Department? There's no need to break the law, of course. Let's give Shultz a fair trial first - and then hang him."

Asked about that, Mr. LaRouche replied: "That's a little bit hyperbolic. But the point is this man is committing something which amounts to treason."

Mr. LaRouche also persistently warns of Soviet plans for world domination, in sometimes apocalyptic terms. And he has been accused of anti-Semitism, but in the interview he denied that allegation. What he opposes, he said, is religious Zionism. Charges of Heckling And Kissinger Scuffle The controversy surrounding Mr. LaRouche and his organization involves more than oratory. Over the years there have been persistent complaints that LaRouche supporters have harassed, heckled and menaced people they perceived as critics or opponents. "Of the groups I had to deal with," said Charles T. Manatt Jr., the former chairman of the Democratic National Committee, "I considered them by far the biggest bane of my existence."

Robert A. Patton, 52, is a member of the National Democratic Policy Committee, a LaRouche organization. The Rye, N.H., maker of customized golfclubs said that on Jan. 10 he would seek the Democratic nomination for US Senate. [..]Unlike Janice Hart, the LaRouche candidate who won the secretary of state primary in Illinois, Patton has so far proven to be less bombastic in stating his views and those of the LaRouche group.

Told of the moves being made by Democrats to block his candidacy, Patton laughed and said, "I can tell you we certainly are the topic of discussion.

"We don't run around with guns, employing Nazi tactics and all that stuff," he said in a telephone interview from his business in North Hampton. "The people that listen to us, that read our literature, they know that."

Patton said he spent 22 years in the Air Force, including a stint inVietnam as a pilot for jet tankers, and that he became allied with the LaRouche organization in 1982.

Patton reiterated the group's calls for a quarantine of AIDS victims, and said he believed the Anti-Defamation League of the B'nai B'rith is involved in illegal drug trafficking.

He also said that members of the LaRouche organization have "tunnelvision" that lets them focus solely on seeing their agenda succeed in the "good ole US of A."

"We want to turn the country back to a moral basis, to a real understanding of what it means to be a human being, to be created, and to make the world a much better place to live in," he said.

"We step on every organization, or group of critters that is running counter to that particular ethic," he added, but didn't identify any group in particular.

LaRouche election candidates

by Wendy Sherman Wednesday, May 14,1986 ~ 13

The LaRouche philosophy is a blend of left and right that defies any placement on the usual conservative-toliberal spectrum. It rests on an extensive system of conspiracy theories that attempt to place blame for virtually every social or economic ill. Its list of villains include the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Paul Volcker, David Rockefeller, the National Education Association, the Soviet Union, "drug banks," international cartels, gays, the Trilateral Commission, the Council on Foreign Relations, Henry Kissinger, the Eastern establishment, Aristotle, George Shultz, W. Averill Harriman, the State Department, "Religious Zionism," the Club of Rome, the Gramm-Rudman Act and Donald Regan. The heroes are a more select lot. Among them: Henry Clay, Pope John Paul, Plato, Alexander Hamilton and Abraham Lincoln - the latter two because they authorized deficit spending, which LaRouche people say government should do again. Plato is revered because he preached absolutes while Aristotle wallowed in relativism. The candidates' platform is a complicated system of political and economic theories. The IMF is a chief culprit, they say, because it manipulates the exchange rate of currencies to keep developing nations in subservience. The IMF, the Federal Reserve and other forces are said to be working against the U.S. economy for selfish gain. LaRouchers say the IMF should be abolished, and the Federal Reserve nationalized. The nation should embark on a build-up of heavy industry and agriculture, all supported by government deficit spending and low-interest loans. The idea of a post-industrial economy that emphasizes service should be junked, they say. At the same time, the military establishment should be bolstered mightily and the Strategic Defense Initiative should go full-speed ahead to thwart Soviet forces.

Asked about the LaRouche group's aims, Stu Rosenblat, a statewide coordinator for the organization in Baltimore, said, "We're trying to take over the Democratic Party. We disagree with the liberal views of the leadership of the Democratic Party." Citing Rep. Barbara A. Mikulski and D-3rd, Rep. Michael D. Barnes, D-8th, as examples, Rosenblat said, "It's been their toleration of the gay rights movement that's allowed this AIDS thing to get to epidemic proportions." LaRouche, Rosenblat said, proposes to screen the entire population for incidence of the AIDS virus, quarantine those found to carry the disease hi medical treatment centers "like we did for tuberculosis," and "write a blank check for research." Despite the quarantine proposal, LaRouche is really "the most compassionate person toward the gay rights movement hi the country," Rosenblat said. "He wants to cure them." The LaRouche camp is supporting candidates in elections across the state that number "in the hundreds," he said.

In his 1984 presidential campaign platform, LaRouche broke from prevailing medical opinion and said homosexuality is a disease whose spread can only be stopped by law. When he declared a year ago that he would be a candidate for the presidency in 1988, LaRouche wrote about the recruitment of "millions of Americans into the ranks of AIDS-riddled homosexuality."

— Paper Tied to LaRouche Attacks Gay Movement; KEVIN RODERICK. Los Angeles Times (pre-1997 Fulltext). Los Angeles, Calif.: Oct 6, 1986. pg. 21

AIDS was presented as the leading plank of the LaRouche platform for 1988, and also as the political issue that

will allow LaRouche to win the favor of more voters than he has wooed the three times he has run for President before. AIDS, the book predicts, will be the "last straw" for voters who believe the nation has gone into moral and educational decay. AIDS is the best issue to use to get Americans aroused politically because they fear for their families, the book says. "The AIDS epidemic and the growing signs of a government cover-up are beginning to move the majority of the citizens to a mood of political revolt," LaRouche wrote in a personal message included in the book. "Those citizens, set into motion by the AIDS crisis, are . . . a political army on the move." The "silent majority," as LaRouche called them, will also rally behind him because they are fed up with the Democrats' catering to gays. Homosexuality, the book said, is a "filthy and immoral practice" and people have come to resent gays for spreading the deadly disease. LaRouche, who is regarded by Jewish groups as anti-Semitic, also has a long history of attacks on gays. His umbrella organization, the National Caucus of Labor Committees, swung into action when the strategy was prepared last fall. An in-house scientific group published reports alleging that AIDS can be spread in schools, restaurants, even barbershops. Internal documents provided The Times by Midwest Research Associates, a Chicago group that monitors extremist groups, showed that the LaRouche groups' internal computer linkup carried daily reports on the reception that LaRouche candidates around the country received when they advocated the quarantine of AIDS patients. An Oct. 2, 1985, "European OpsBulletin" directed LaRouche offices overseas to rally their local supporters around the AIDS issue. It sent the text for an AIDS leaflet by the Schiller Institute, a LaRouche organization that is active in Germany, to be distributed at rallies and also included a report that LaRouche organizers had met with success by using the AIDS issue during a radio program in Stockholm.

Lyndon LaRouche is one of the better-known candidates outside the leading 12. LaRouche, who takes many positions on the radical right and calls for a strong military posture, says he identifies with the Democratic Party. He ran for president in 1984 and received 78,773 votes (out of 92.6 million total votes cast).

A Political Research Associates Briefing Paper

[Hilda Thomas of the B.C. Coalition for Abortion Clinics ] said backers of U.S. extremist Lyndon LaRouche set up an information table outside the clinic April 28 during an anti- abortion demonstration.

A report by the clinic's security committee said the two men were selling "a range of anti-Satanist and anti-abortion literature" and handing out leaflets publicizing a meeting that evening on "Satanism and Bolshevism."

Speakers at the evening meeting, according to the leaflet, included representatives of the Christian Heritage party and Realwomen B.C., both of which have strong anti-abortion platforms.

The clinic report said members of a group called the Anti-Nazi League attended the Friday meeting and took notes, a set of which was given to The Vancouver Sun.

The notes indicate speaker Tony Parpart, a member of a LaRouche group called the Commission to Investigate Human Rights Violations, delivered the main speech, in which he accused the CIA, the FBI and Henry Kissinger of plotting to frame LaRouche.

It is probably safe to assume that Lyndon Hermyle LaRouche Jr. is the only person who has ever campaigned for President with a platform that included his own version of quantum theory. The currently accepted view, you see, was foisted upon the world by that archconspirator Werner Heisenberg, whose notorious uncertainty principle - a cornerstone of modern physics - was an evil ploy to demoralize the world with the notion that at the roots of reality everything happens at random. [..] Like crazed graduate students, Mr. LaRouche's followers crank out dissertations on who's in and who's out of the conspiracy. Leibniz was a good guy, Newton a bad guy. British empiricism is evil (it encourages hedonism by holding that reality is rooted in the senses). Continental, especially German, philosophy is good. Nuclear power is good, solar power evil (it is antidevelopment, and its supporters are descendants of Egyptian sunworshiping cults). Population control, especially when directed at third world countries, is genocide. Zionists and Nazis, Jesuits and Freemasons, Communists and capitalists - in Mr. LaRouche's vision all are secretly united as agents of the Aristotelian plot. There is something here to offend everyone, or to appeal to every imaginable form of bigotry.

By promoting this abstruse ideology Mr. LaRouche has developed alliances with farmers, nuclear engineers, Black Muslims, Teamsters, pro-lifers and followers of the Ku Klux Klan. His organization also runs a muchtouted intelligence network, which seems to consist largely of his obnoxious devotees commandeering WATS lines and tricking bureaucrats into giving them information. Every bit of data is compiled, collated and twisted to fit into the conspiracy theory.

On Friday, [Arthur] Hoffmann and [Marion] Hundley-arriving 45 minutes late for a news conference at the Civic Center in Santa Ana-outlined a platform calling for a crackdown on U.S. banks that launder drug proceeds and for an increased commitment to space programs.

They also are pushing for identification and quarantine of AIDS victims, modernizing and expanding ground and air transportation to aid consumer travel and a revitalization of the aerospace industry. In addition, they said, economic sanctions should be imposed against China in retaliation for its crackdown on student demonstrators.

The two men also included in their platforms a measure to mandate "classical education" in public schools, which they say would teach youngsters to think creatively by steeping them in a course of poetry, geometry and music styled after ancient Greek schooling.

And they also said they want to wipe out "organized criminal Satanism." Asked to elaborate, Calney pointed to what he said were recent instances of child abduction and animal mutilation by devil worshipers.

1990s

[Loretta F. Chandler], 31, is one of six candidates running for national office on the LaRouche slate. She is a sales representative for the LaRouche newsletter in Norfolk. She previously worked as an apprentice shipfitter at the Norfolk Shipbuilding and Drydock Co. and as a computer programmer.

"It'll be difficult" beating Sisisky, she said. "I'm giving people a choice. If policies actually get changed, if solutions actually come out of this, then I've won in the long run."

The LaRouche platform characterizes the Mideast crisis as a diversion carried out by the U.S. government to direct attention away from an economic emergency at home. It calls for drastic measures to stimulate the U.S. economy.

The platform calls for reducing interest rates to 2 percent to 4 percent for industrial and agricultural projects, and for projects such as repairing roads and bridges. It calls for a repeal of the Clean Air Act and the Gramm- Rudman deficit-cutting law. It calls for an end to "suicidal" cuts in defense. It proposes a moratorium on farm foreclosures while making credit available to farmers so they can grow food for parts of the world that have shortages.

Ms. Chandler has been touring the district with Nancy Spannaus, the LaRouche slate candidate for the U.S. Senate seat held by John Warner. People generally have been receptive, she said.

— DESPITE OPPOSITION, REP. SISISKY HEAVILY FAVORED Bill Geroux. Richmond Times - Dispatch. Richmond, Va.: Sep 23, 1990. pg. E-4

Ms. Spannaus is campaigning on a platform that calls for Congress to federalize the Federal Reserve Bank and issue a direct credit, with 2 to 4 percent interest rates, to the people so the country can be rebuilt. She said the United States is in the midst of a depression and this action would pull the nation out of the economic slump.

Ms. Spannaus also is opposed to the American presence in the Persian Gulf and says this policy was foisted on President Bush by British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.

"We're there for the oil and because the British have a lot of power over Israeli policy, our policy and over the Arabs," she said.

Ms. Spannaus also is campaigning to restore freedom to political prisoners. Her husband, an associate of LaRouche, has been imprisoned along with LaRouche for securities fraud.

Questionnaires were distributed to candidates in March. Answers have been edited to fit the available space.[..] The answers of Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Los Angeles) and his challenger for the Democratic nomination, Scott M. Gaulke, appear below.

Federal Deficit Q: Do you support, in principle, reducing the federal deficit or spending more on social programs by raising the taxes of upper-income Americans, defined as individuals making about $100,000 and couples earning about $150,000?

• Gaulke: No. The tax base of the economy needs to be expanded without raising taxes on anyone. That can only be done by creating high-paying, productive jobs.

Capital Gains Q: Do you favor President Bush's proposal for a capital gains tax cut as an economic stimulant?

• Gaulke: No. I don't favor anything George Bush does and he has no idea what he is doing as far as the economy. He should step down now for the sake of the country.

Balanced Budget Q: Do you support a constitutional amendment to require a balanced federal budget?

• Gaulke: No. The federal budget is not the problem. The economics of George Bush and most of the leading Democrats is the problem. They all still cling to the myth of free trade and don't know a thing about American system economics.

Defense Reductions Q: With the end of the Cold War, do you favor deep reductions in the $290-billion annual defense budget? If so, how much could it be safely reduced in one year? Five years?

• Gaulke: No. I believe the end of the so-called Cold War could end up being a hot war if the failed economic policies that dominated this planet for the last 100 years are not reversed. I mean the collapse of the Versailles system.

Defense Savings Q: What should any defense savings be used for: lower taxes, reduced deficit, spending on domestic programs?

• Gaulke: There will be no defense savings to be used for anything, just like there was no "peace dividend" recovery, etc.

Welfare Waste? Q: Do you believe a lot of money is being wasted on social welfare programs?

• Gaulke: No. Money is not being wasted on social welfare programs. Most of those programs have been cut to the bone and people are suffering because of it.

Welfare Benefits Q: Do you support reducing welfare benefits of parents who do not go to school, attend training or find a job; do not make sure that their children attend school or get basic medical care, or who continue to have more children while on welfare?

• Gaulke: No. This is fascism and those implementing it fascists. Families, the sick, the elderly, etc., are going to be thrown out into the street and some will die because our elected officials don't know what they are doing.

Costly Programs Q: Do you support significantly increased funding for the following programs, all of which are costly and controversial and employ significant numbers of workers who live in yours and surrounding districts? a) The B-2 "Stealth" bomber, b) The Strategic Defense Initiative ("Star Wars"), c) The Space Station.

• Gaulke: B-2 Bomber, no. Star Wars, yes. Space station, yes.

Health Insurance Q: Do you support requiring businesses either to provide health insurance to employees or contribute to a fund to provide health care for the uninsured?

• Gaulke: No. I favor a health-care system that is free to all Americans, regardless of their ability to pay and an economy that provides the tax base to do just that.

Health Care Q: Do you support a national health-care system in which the government establishes fees, pays all the bills and collects taxes to cover the cost?

• Gaulke: No. Build new hospitals to solve the health-care crisis.

Saddam Hussein Q: If Saddam Hussein continues to refuse to obey United Nations orders to dismantle Iraq's arms-making nuclear capability, should the United States urge the United Nations to take military action with U. S. participation?

• Gaulke: No. The United States and Britain set up Iraq and then bombed the Iraqis back to the Stone Age. It was nothing but a criminal policy then and it is more of one now. It is a Bush reelection stunt, among other things. Look for Bush to bomb someone before the election.

Israeli Loan Q: Would you have unconditionally supported Israel's request for $10 billion in loan guarantees to help resettle refugees from the former Soviet Union?

• Gaulke: No.

U. S. Citizenship Q: Do you support a proposed constitutional amendment that would deny U. S. citizenship to U.S.-born children of illegal immigrants?

• Gaulke: No. That reminds me of racism, and I don't like racism.

Japanese Imports Q: Should the United States make it harder for Japan to import goods into this country if Japan does not open more of its markets to American goods?

• Gaulke: No. The whole matter of Japan and unfair trading is a fraud, an election ploy by Bush and he knows it. If we are ever going to attempt to get out of this depression, Japan is going to have to help us and this crazy trade war garbage is insane.

Industrial Emissions Q: Should the United States move more rapidly to limit industrial emissions that may be depleting the ozone layer and contributing to global warming even though such steps may hurt some businesses and eliminate some jobs?

• Gaulke: No. The ozone hole was discovered in 1956 and is not a problem, and global warming is a hoax.

Oil Exploration Q: Barring a national emergency, would you ever support opening up more of the California coastline to oil exploration? If so, under what circumstances?

• Gaulke: Yes. Why not? Until we move to a nuclear fission- and fusion-based grid in the U. S., I am in favor of oil development. Why do we need a national emergency to open the coastline for oil development?

Public Parkland Q: Do you support increasing the amount appropriated by Congress to buy public parkland in the Santa Monica Mountains, which is $14 million this year?

• Gaulke: No.

Campaign Contributions Q: Do you support reducing the amount of contributions that can be made by special-interest groups to congressional campaigns? If so, to what level?

• Gaulke: It depends on what group is giving to what candidate and whether it is clean or dirty money-illegal money.

Congressional Perks Q: If elected, would you decline to accept any of the congressional perks? If yes, please specify which ones.

• Gaulke: I don't even know what the "perks" are. So I really can't answer the question.

School Vouchers Q: Do you support giving government vouchers to low- and middle-income parents to allow them to pay their children's tuition in private or parochial schools?

• Gaulke: Yes. Because the public school system is a hellhole and should be cleaned up or we should go to a voucher system.

Death Penalty Q: Do you support capital punishment for any crimes? If so, what?

• Gaulke: No. Capital punishment is human sacrifice.

Gun Control Q: Do you support any form of limit on the sales of guns to individuals?

• Gaulke: No. I support the Constitution on the right to bear arms.

Affirmative Action Q: In general, do you think affirmative action in employment of women and members of minority groups has not gone far enough, or has gone too far, or is about right?

• Gaulke: The problem is the current depression and there not being jobs for anyone. With a growing productive economy as proposed by myself and Democratic presidential candidate Lyndon LaRouche, all who want work would have it.

Abortion Rights Q: Do you support a woman's unrestricted right to an abortion within the first three months of pregnancy?

• Gaulke: No. I believe in the sanctity of human life, from conception to death.

Abortion Funding Q: Do you support federal funding of abortions for women who cannot afford them?

• Gaulke: No.

Art Restrictions Q: Should Congress impose any content restrictions on what it considers obscene or indecent materials in reauthorizing the National Endowment for the Arts?

• Gaulke: Yes. Federal tax dollars should not go to funding pornography.

Striking Workers Q: Do you support a law to forbid businesses to hire permanent replacement for striking workers?

• Gaulke: Yes.

Hill or Thomas? Q: Who do you think was more likely to have told the truth, Anita Hill or Clarence Thomas?

• Gaulke: I don't know.

Quality of Life Q: What single change would most improve life in Southern California?

• Gaulke: Electing Lyndon LaRouche President of the United States.

Public Figure Q: What public figure do you most admire?

• Gaulke: Lyndon LaRouche.

Literary Influence Q: What, if any, book have you recently read that influenced your view of public policy?

• Gaulke: "The Science of Christian Economy and Other Prison Writings" by Lyndon H. LaRouche.

Scott M. Gaulke, 35, of Studio City is a property manager. He is a devotee of Lyndon H. LaRouche, the political extremist who is serving a prison term for mail fraud and tax evasion.

1. In Congress, I would work to implement the economic recovery plan of the economist and statesman, Lyndon LaRouche. His plan features the following steps:

- The declaration of a National Economic Emergency;

- The nationalization of the Federal Reserve, i.e. putting Article 1, section 8 of the US Constitution into effect, and transforming the Fed into a Hamiltonian National Bank;

- Congressional authorization of the issuance of $1 trillion of gold-reserve-backed US Treasury notes, to be loaned at low interest for investment in industry and farming, in power projects, water projects, highway and high-speed rail construction, the construction of schools and hospitals, and in advanced scientific research and development, which will create approximately 6 million productive jobs in the private and public sectors;

- A super-NASA program aimed at colonization of Mars within 40 years, which will generate the advanced technologies for continued scientific progress;

- A youth-employment program in infrastructure -- building to give presently unemployable youth training, work and a future.

No combination of tax increases, entitlement cuts, or other cuts will balance state or federal budgets; LaRouche's plan will expand the tax revenue base by increasing business and personal incomes, which will balance the budget, and is much better than starving your grandmother.

2. The problems of providing health care can only be solved in the context of a general economic recovery. This plan will provide that. (We must spend $3 billion a year to find a cure for AIDS.)

[Wayne T.] Baker, a supporter of jailed politician Lyndon H. Larouche, candidly and cheerfully confessed that he didn't expect to win. He just wanted people to listen to him.[..]

His ideas weren't the typical fodder for a statehouse candidate Baker painted his platform in broad strokes. He talked about the nation's economic collapse, and suggested "nationalizing" the Federal Reserve as a partial solution. He spoke about the dangers of the North American Free Trade Agreement. He suggested that the government should promote building gas-cooled nuclear reactors and water desalination plants.

Burnest Griffin III, a supporter of the policies of Lyndon LaRouche, launched a campaign for the Ward 3 City Council seat in Norfolk on Thursday by attacking the curriculum used in some city schools.

The City Council generally does not control school curriculum, leaving that to the School Board.

Griffin said, however, that the council should get the schools to throw out all forms of Outcomes-Based Education, an educational theory that calls for schools to concentrate on results.

"If the City Council refuses to take action against the School Board and the superintendent for imposing this form of brainwashing, then the council needs to be replaced," said Griffin, 28, a Navy machinist.

Griffin said Outcomes-Based Education is so dangerous he has put his two children in private schools.

"To teach kids that it's OK to do anything you want, as long as it feels good, to direct education away from reading, writing and arithmetic, only leaves the child's morality degraded," Griffin said. "These things are very important." SUFFOLK

PHILIP VALENTI -- Valenti, a Delaware County sales representative and follower of Lyndon LaRouche, says his main objective in running for governor is to eliminate outcome based education. OBE is a system of broad, state-established educational outcomes that districts must meet. Districts have broad latitude in determining how to meet them.

"OBE will turn your kids into Beavis and Butt-head," Valenti says. He proposes instead a return to classical educational standards.

On the Democratic side, Ralph Walsh, an unsuccessful candidate for Monmouth County freeholder last year, will face off against perennial challenger Michael Di Marco, 42, a Lyndon LaRouche associate who has run unsuccessfully three times for a 13th Congressional District seat. [..] Di Marco, 44, a control system engineer for Raytheon Engineers & Constructors Inc. in Philadelphia, cited the traditional LaRouche platform of launching a public health emergency mobilization to defeat AIDS, upgrading the quality of public schools, placing the Federal Reserve back under congressional control, and colonizing Mars by the year 2025.

SUSAN JOHNSON - A longtime organizer for Lyndon H. LaRouche Jr., Johnson is 50 and lives in St. Louis. She sought the Democratic nomination for Congress from the 2nd District in 1992.

She advocates LaRouche's plan for the U.S. treasury to issue $1 trillion in credit, to be used by state and local government to build roads, bridges, sewers and water lines.

Priorities: I would push for U.S. withdrawal from such United Nations activities as the Blue Helmets and the March 1995 U.N. Human Development Conference program for a global police, a global central bank and a global income tax. I would expose the genocide lobby, which deliberately reduces food output and technology, then claims the world cannot support so many people.

Harold Anthony Quesnel, Party for the Commonwealth of Canada (Qubec),

Occupation: Political consultant with the International Caucus of Labor Committees.

Would push for the construction of a high-speed rail link (similar to the TGV in France) between Quebec City and Windsor, which could bring several hundred jobs to the area. Because such projects would involve private business and provincial governments, jobs would not be dependent on the federal government.

Is committed to pulling out of the Free Trade and NAFTA agreements, which are "desperate attempts" to bring in revenue and service high debt. Most job losses will result from attempts to reduce government deficits and balance budgets. Both major parties should not be committed to an International Monetary Fund-dominated financial system, and Quesnel is "open to suggestions" on how to re-organize Quebec's bureaucracy.

Based on American Lyndon LaRouche's predictions, the world's present financial system will totally disintegrate within two years. Quesnel would push the federal governments to deal with this by nationalizing the Bank of Canada and raising taxes on usury and speculation.

Marc Duclos, the new mayor of Greenfield Park, insists his economic theories - what he calls the principles of physical economy - are rooted in a noble tradition dating back to George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.

He and the dead presidents just happen to share those ideas with Lyndon LaRouche, the convicted fraud artist who heads an extreme right-wing organization in the United States.

LaRouche, 71, who spent five years in jail for fraud involving more than $30 million in defaulted loans, calls the Holocaust "a common delusion of the American Zionist."

Gays, LaRouche says, are a "network of pederastic satanists." The Virgin Mary is "the Arch-Witch." He calls Asians a "lower form of animal life" and native peoples "a miserable, relatively bestial culture."

Lyndon LaRouche, an independent Democrat who is making his sixth run for the White House, predicted an imminent worldwide financial collapse.

"We've destroyed the cities," LaRouche said. "We have become a virtual reality society in which people are no longer attuned to reality."

Later, during the debate's discussion of drug policy, LaRouche accused George Bush of trafficking in drugs when he was vice president. [..] The way to process nuclear waste has been known for years if the government would just take the political risk, said LaRouche.

Lyndon LaRouche Party: Democrat Home State: Virginia Position: Contributing editor to Executive Intelligence Review, a weekly news magazine. Campaign Theme: Preaching an eclectic blend of populism, LaRouche favors traditional social programs and criticizes what he alleges is an international conspiracy of monied interests. Coming off a five-year federal prison sentence for fraud, LaRouche claims to have been a political prisoner and is a harsh critic of the U.S. Justice Department, which successfully prosecuted him, the royal family in England, conservative Republicanism, the International Monetary Fund and international bankers in general. He promotes much higher taxes on the wealthy and maintenance of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid programs. Warns of an "onrushing worldwide economic depression."

Lawrence K. Freeman (D):

I support the reduction of the personal income tax for Maryland taxpayers. The burden of the state's revenue should not fall on the individual taxpayer and homeowner, but how do we increase revenues necessary to maintain our quality of life? To propose legalized gambling as a source of revenue is immoral and wrong.

We need to expand the real productive tax base of our economy, which has been declining over the last two decades. We must revitalize the agro-industrial sectors of our economy, employing more people at higher paying industrial and related jobs. Unfortunately, we have followed the idiotic "post industrial society" policy, which insists that society has outlived the need for industrial production. As a result we've become a fantasy-ridden, service-information economy, based on unproductive, low-paying service jobs.

We should also impose a tax on financial transactions. A tax of one tenth of 1 percent on the sales of derivatives, options, futures, swaps, stocks and bonds would act as a disincentive on speculative activity destructive to our economy and would raise billions of dollars in new revenues.

The cancerous financial speculative bubble that is about to burst and crash our economy is the result of the casino-style economy that we have lived with for the last 20 years. In order to protect your pensions, savings and jobs, I want to return to the sane policies of Franklin Roosevelt, represented by Lyndon LaRouche's proposal to convene a New Bretton Woods conference.

You have heard in the news these days that a former presidential candidate in America, Mr [Lyndon] Larouche, explicitly declared that such great personalities as Mr [Henry] Kissinger, Mr [Zbigniew] Brzezinski and others were directly involved in the explosions in New York. He says that their objective was to pave the way for a war against Islam. It is very difficult for me or anyone else to accept easily such grave statements, but at any rate the remarks are made by a prominent person in America.

This time around, Mr. LaRouche is running on a platform equating the Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon with the 1933 Reichstag fire, set by Nazis so they could blame the Communists and take over the German government. In his part of "Children of Satan," Mr. Steinberg charges that a "cabal of Strauss disciples, along with an equally small circle of allied neo-conservative and Likudnik fellow-travelers" has been hovering around the government for 30 years, "awaiting the moment of opportunity to launch their not-so-silent coup."

For example, while fascist movements have historically been stridently nationalist, LaRouche is working hard to establish allies in many countries outside the United States, particularly on the question of opposition to free trade. But he and his co-thinkers want to replace capitalist globalism with protectionism, a cornerstone of nationalist economic policy. [..] Shortly before the 1980 Democratic Party convention, a group of California building trades union officials announced their support for LaRouche and launched a campaign committee. His labor platform focused on condemnation of high interest rates that were affecting jobs in home construction, promises to crush the environmental movement, and a plan to build hundreds of nuclear reactors. [..] In early 2000, the CEC linked up with the Municipal Employees Union of Western Australia to form the “Curtin Labor Alliance” political party. Many of the party’s planks were standard labor demands, but the platform also included LaRouche’s ubiquitous call for a “New Bretton Woods.”18

To the dismay of party officials, as many as 10 supporters of fringe presidential candidate Lyndon LaRouche are running in the March 2 primary for positions on the Alameda County Democratic Central Committee. [..] Instead of representing Democratic voters in Alameda County, they say, the candidates would serve the interests of just one person: LaRouche. Known in the past for his anti-Semitic views and outlandish conspiracy theories, LaRouche has toned down his rhetoric in recent years. But many of his current goals are not priorities shared by other Democrats. LaRouche, 81, warns of a global financial collapse and advocates public works projects such as a "world land bridge" to link the continents by rail. LaRouche says California should build 20 to 30 nuclear power plants in the next 10 years.

The CEC of A is a fascinating political entity because it's close to being completely potty. Proudly aligned to the LaRouche movement in the US - named for Lyndon LaRouche, a perennial presidential candidate, former jailbird on tax code and fraud counts, political activist, economist, philosopher and, depending on your opinion, either a genius or an anti-Semitic, conspiracy-theorising crackpot - the CEC of A's website makes for enlightening reading. With a Fighting Platform, one can access all sorts of literature. My favourite was Children of Satan III: The Sexual Congress for Cultural Fascism. You can also learn how `a major contributing factor to the present economic collapse is the anti-human, bestial policies represented by the rock-drug-sex counterculture which took off in the 1960s', and how the world is heading `not merely into a depression, but into a New Dark Age beyond the imagination of most people alive today'. The trouble with the CEC of A is that its good ideas, and it actually has a couple, are buried beneath the terrifying bombast of its rhetoric. The effect is to make the whole thing sound deranged.

Rockefellers

• Lyn Marcus, national chairman of the National Caucus of Labor Committees, went even farther into fantasy. By supporting birth control, said Marcus, Rockefeller has made a "criminal commitment to genocide accompanied by a commitment to reduce massively the standards of living of the world's industrialized sector to levels matching those in the Third World." This was too much even for one of Rocky's sternest critics on the committee. "I find your statement so excessive and so extreme that it is counterproductive," said California Democrat Jerome Waldie.

Health care

Maria Elena Milton, Democratic nominee for the Dist. 4 congressional seat, last week began airing an ad on talk radio stations that urges voters not to "let the philosophy of Gingrich Republican Shadegg push your parents into the gas ovens of managed health care." [..] Milton, who beat physician Stuart Turnansky in the Sept. 10 Democratic primary, is a follower of Lyndon LaRouche, whom she describes as "the world's leading economist." [..] "Why is the media howling? Because I have thrown a wrench into the works of the biggest heist in history, the piratization of Social Security. That's why -- not any ridiculous, so-called attack on Jewish people," she said.

Milton said that "Nazi philosophy" was based on the same principle as managed care: that "some lives aren't worth living."

Asked whether it's appropriate to draw an analogy between Medicare cuts and lining up people and shooting them, she said, "It doesn't diminish anything." She also said that she is "part Jewish."

Travanti and comedian Dick Shawn performed or quoted passages from LaRouche writings. Laughter greeted such LaRouche statements as: "There was no plan to specifically exterminate Jews in Nazi Germany-and only a million Jews perished in concentration camps," and his view that "jazz and rock music are inferior art forms designed by evil forces to disrupt the brain functions and learning ability of the listener."
