LaRouche Launches Youth Movement To Rebuild America
by Muriel Mirak-Weissbach
A revolution has begun inside the United States, led by a rare
collection of young people, who, having grasped the nature of the
historical period we are living in, have decided to dedicate their
lives to ensuring that the world will not descend into a New Dark Age,
but rather initiate a new Renaissance. These young Americans-political
"canaries in the mine"-have been joining Lyndon LaRouche's campaign in
increasing numbers as the collapse has come on during 2002.
LaRouche gathered the leadership of this new international youth
movement, at the semi-annual conference of the International Caucus of
Labor Committees and Schiller Institute on "The Global Financial Crash
of 2002," attended by 1,000, in Reston, Virginia over the Labor Day
weekend. On this weekend which traditionally looks forward to November
election days, LaRouche's keynote speech also detailed an "emergency
November program" to rebuild the transport and economic infrastructure
of the United States, which is collapsing in bankruptcy shutdowns. He
is "presenting the President and the incoming Congress with the
emergency program they must immediately adopt" to stop the
disintegration of the U.S. economy; and the youth movement is
mobilized with this idea.
Generation With 'No Future'
LaRouche is a world-historic individual in this crisis, as Franklin
Delano Roosevelt-whom he cited as a model in his keynote-was such a
personality who revived the nation from the last Depression. In giving
the youth now joining him, greater freedom and responsibility in his
movement, he stressed that the key to acquiring the courage required
to lead in a time of crisis, is the sense of personal identity, based
on the knowledge that, although life is mortal, one achieves
immortality, through doing something "which was needed, in honor of
past mankind, and for the sake of the future of mankind."
Over the course of the past generation, the "Baby Boomer" generation
of those born after World War II, everything that had been achieved by
Roosevelt has been destroyed. The shift from producer to "consumer
society," the rock-drug-sex counterculture, and the fixation on
"personal needs," as opposed to the the general welfare on which FDR
based his Presidency, has made the U.S. economy a global looting
machine, now thoroughly breaking down. It has produced a youth whose
self-conception is "the no-future generation," to whom no future
mission is offered in school, economy, or society. They respond now to
LaRouche's message that they have to make their own future by a
mission to rebuild America and the world.
Cultural pessimism is pervasive among this generation; they have no
sense of truth or mission. Many college-age youth do not even wear
watches, as they have no sense of time. The "counterculture" which
their parents adopted from the 1960s, and have made the dominant
culture of present-day America, has eliminated Classical culture,
robbing youth of a sense of history, of science and technological
progress.
Their advantage, however, as West Coast LaRouche movement leader
Philip Rubinstein pointed out, is that by 1998-99, they knew they had
"no future." Whereas their Baby Boomer parents still nurture illusions
that they can somehow survive in the stock and real estate markets and
have enough money to retire-"or at least to pay for their funeral"-the
generation of 18- to 25-year-olds realize the system is gone, and that
their education is a fraud, preparing them for nothing they actually
face.
When confronted with the moral and intellectual challenge represented
by LaRouche, and by his uncanny ability to forecast economic and
political developments, they respond with shock and intrigue, and a
desire to learn how he was able to do so. For example, LaRouche's
warning on Nov. 3, 2000, that the Presidential elections would not be
decided on Election Day; and his January 2000 published insistence
that the omnipotent Enron, then ripping up California, had to
collapse; proved to many youth that LaRouche uniquely "knows what he
is talking about."
Some 25-30 of the youth movement's organizers told the story from
their own vantage point during the Sept. 1 evening plenary. A young
man from Los Angeles who has been organizing for LaRouche since late
2001, recalled his first contact with LaRouche, as "phenomenal,
unbelievable," but that he then thought: "If what he is saying is
true, what does that require of me?" A college girl whose father had
told her that life was without purpose, related her awareness during
her first attendance at a Schiller Institute cadre school, that it was
a "profound moment.... Finally I found people who would discuss
philosophy, who were doing something." Others emphasized their sense
of the enormous responsibility they had taken on, by joining
LaRouche's movement at such a time of breakdown crisis.
Several said they had thought at first, that it would be "easy" to
recruit their friends and contemporaries to the movement, but soon
found otherwise. A student leader from California reported his
confrontation with other students during a demonstration, who were
deriding the speakers with the deep pessimism common to so many
students, saying, "The fool is the one who thinks he can do something
to change the world." But this leader emphasized to the conference,
"Think big. Maybe I'll be called upon to go to Congo-Zaire, or to
Brazil, to help implement LaRouche's policies. That's what this youth
movement is for: to implement the new monetary system, and avoid a
Dark Age." Its national purpose, of course: To put LaRouche in the
White House in 2004.

Glad to hear that too. I assume then you posted his Neo-Nazi EIRN site (and
previous article) because you were unaware of the original source and who
Lyndon LaRouche really is.
If so, my apologies for assuming too much.

I hadn't seen this particular webpage before, however it appears
to echo some materials I had reviewed several years earlier. I don't
regard the "jail-time" accounts as invalidating someone's candidacy.
Either one has paid dues or not. If the dues have not been paid then
the prisoner should not be released. Not only is there an "innocent
before proven guilty" there is also "restoration of (social) status"
once the penal system has extracted its due vengeance and pound
of flesh. For similar reasons I do not favor denying voter rights to
ex-felons of Florida who might have cast ballots for -any- candidate.
Rather than debate the merits and demerits of LaRouche, I have
written to Anthony Chaitkin with a suggestion that they offer some
articles addressing the Chip Berlet analysis, particularly in context
to the factor of LaRouche's 2004 Presidential Bid, where candidates
are provided not only a forum but also an opportunity for remarks.
Hope that helps.
No... it really doesn't help much. Anyone that would take LaRouche
seriously is either a BS artist, or brain dead.

Don't tell me you're being taken in by this man JB. He's a neo-fascist and
used to run 'summer camps' for children in northern Virginia that amounted
to fascist indoctrination camps. Given the politics you generarlly display
in your posts, I must say that I'm disappointed...
Well, at least Kissinger is...
Though they were far to young to be suvivors of his indoctrination camps in
the eighties, it appeared that they certainly had been brainwashed. It's sad
to see the vulnerable preyed upon by such a dangerous and deceitful man [but
then again we have one of those for president, don't we...]
One older guy who apporached me and launched into a rant when I refused to
take his literature. I told him politely that I knew quite a bit LaRouche
and I wasn't interested. He then tried to bully me into telling him why I
didn't like LaRouche [bringing up 'talking points']. After being annoyed for
about a minute by being talked at, I politely said that I had come to see
the anti-war speakers and was not interested in having a discussion with him
about why I don't like LaRouche and turned away. He then continued to talk
in my ear about three minutes until he finally gave up. At least the
Jehovah's Witnesses go away when you tell them you're not interested in
discussing your soul with them.

Anyone who would apply _ad_hominem_ procedures in the
political context, either arguing "from authority" or "against moron",
is -missing- essential points which locate arguments in the issues.
See if you can discuss the LaRouche website without logical fallacy:
The Logical Fallacies: Table of Contents
http://www.intrepidsoftware.com/fallacy/toc.htm
In some contexts that could be regarded as a backhanded
compliment, so I'll add two-cents into the pot. I would prefer to
stir-up a response from the LaRouche organization, regarding
these accounts of "fascism", to see whether they can "explain"
themselves. While it is true that the LaRouche people seek to
wrest control from the Democrats, one could -confuse- their lust
for "political power" (common to most movements) with fascism.
I would sooner identify fascism among those forces -already- in
charge rather than among any minority marginalized elements.
So, this is chiefly a case of being considerate to the underdog.

Abbey Hoffman wrote of LaRouche bringing a baseball bat
to some rally for radicals during the 1970s, but I have not found
their political representatives anything but sincere. I suppose
that's due to the fact that I do not tend to argue directly, but keep
asking questions until I can spin them out into some contradictions.
They have an -extensive- literature worth perusal, if only for one's
illumination or enlightenment with political/religous "cult" studies,
rather -essential- for a sociology degree. It also helps to read the
books by Eric Hoffer, in particular _The_True_Believer_ (1951), and
one comparable work by William Sims Bainbridge: _Satan's_Power_.
I don't suppose there are any shortcuts to scholarship, nor do I
presume that "cult avoidance" is entirely possible for any of us.

Actually, the question was answered, by simple inspection of this

One also expects to find Simpson's uncivil _ad_hominem_ fixations,
since from him there is never any substantiation by way of cites.

Try his 15 year fraud conviction for starters (assuming simple common sense
or his lengthy history won't do it). The guy is a con man and fruitcake and

very similar techniques to other cultist groups. Years ago he use to set up
at the airports like the Moonies (re: Fusion Energy Foundation scam).

Do YOU second-guess the courts and juries? LaRouche did NOT
-escape- from prison; he was -released- from prison. Perhaps you had
no concept of the fact that jailers, police lawyers, judges, courts,
etc., are fundamentally -interposed- between lynch mobs (you), and
justice (civil society). I'm thoroughly in -favor- of having evidence
describing the story of conviction with 15-year fraud all laid out.
Having done so, one then needs to "explain" why there are so many
of "the young and stupid" that -YOU- failed to shepherd, that were
products of those public schools paid by YOUR tax dollars. Anybody
who could, at age 80, do what Lyndon LaRouche is still doing,

been lost in a brittle aridity of vacuous lacuna called Anglicanism.

Yes...After he served time for defrauding many many elderly out of their life
savings.
He was a loon way back when and now he has gotten worse... Socialist/communist
party..wasn't it? You people just don't seem to go away...No matter how bad
you
screw things up...You just keep coming back.. Please go play with the Muslims..

His charges..court trial were public...totally above board and available for
any
and all to peruse today. When he is asked to speak about his guilt or
innocence,
well he refuses.. They got him on Primie Facie evidence. I would have had him
publicly flogged for his cras misdeeds to the elderly.

In case you have been asleep for decades, LaRouche's charge against
the Queen of being a drug pusher is old, old news. One needn't depend
on any single source for this.

Interesting. How does LaRouche then compare to Enron,
WorldCom, Harken, Haliburton, etc., of today?

It's difficult to imagine that an 80-year-old swings a baseball
bat as he may have done, at age 45. So I don't suppose that things
are getting "worse" for his political movement, though one could say
that things get "worse" for the individuals, as they would for anyone.

Let's posit that his early release, quite possibly with parole
and even allowing an ankle-bracelet (serving 5 years out of 15),
may have been plea bargained on condition that LaRouche not
discuss any aspects of his own case. Not unreasonable, actually.
Given those parameters, now consider what political game-plans
are still available for "the elderly" in general. Is it your notion
of the American experiment in plural democracy that -NO- voice
is permitted from those who were -released- (not escaped) from
prison, having -fulfilled- their punitive obligations to the courts?
Conceivably, LaRouche continues his work, even as a form of
public community service. It's doubtful that anyone who listens
to LaRouche, follows the LaRouche phenomena, studies the
wealth of present and past Larouche literature, is unaware of
the story of Lyndon Larouche,jr., even in all its sordid aspects.
Who would kick a man when he's down? What is compassion?
As for those who contribute to renegade political movements:
to what degree should courts -intervene- upon _caveat_emptor_ ?

No, Kevorkianism "works" only by means of volunteerism.
I think you missed the basic point, concerning Kevorkianism.
Conceivably there might be a day when you elect for Kevorkian.

Others may have said it more succinctly, but the fact remains
that CAN might itself be another form of "cultism." I have spoken
with a number of deprogrammers, but it is not clear to me whether
programmers or deprogrammers are the winners of Chess games.
LaRouche has already declared his political position as hostile
to British Influence, and thereby antipathy toward Anglicanism. For
CAN to critique LaRouche, without taking into account the substance
of LaRouche's message, not unlike the message of early Pilgrims to
Plymouth Rock, operates at skew purposes and fails to communicate.
CAN's approach is clearly Anglican, by its encyclopedic anti-Theology.
