Lyndon LaRouche and his craziness

So I was going to class today, and got accosted by some guys who wanted a moment of my time. "Sure." I said. From my experiences of the guys on BruinWalk, most of the people there were pretty reasonable, easygoing, and sometimes some of the stuff they had there was kinda neat.

Little did I know I would risk dying of laughter because of that fateful decision. The guy turned out to be a member of the LaRouche Youth Movement, which is basically a bunch of guys in tinfoil hats who believe that the world is actually run by the British Monarchy, who control the entire financial system using their magical Royalty-Powers, and have been using facebook, video games, and myspace to brainwash the youth into a generation of super-assassins. There was some other hilarity in it but I think the gist of that should be fine.

Man, I wish I was a super-assassin. It'd be cooler than studying for finals.

From what I'm reading up on these guys on the internet, this Lyndon LaRouche person's basically the second coming of Hitler, and has his head stuck up so far up his ass he's a human moebius strip. (did that statement even make sense? I hope so.). Ironically, he tends to label his enemies as Nazis, even though the analogy between him and Hitler seems to be lost on his brainwashed zombie horde.

Oh yeah, let's not forget that They've (they being the hyper-competent conspiracy that has managed to go undetected for a century and no doubt has enough competence to shoot someone so outspoken and bumbling in the face if they did in fact exist) attempted to assassinate him, proving the conspiracy.

It's... pretty crazy. I'd try ranting about him more but I'm finding them more as a source of ENTERTAINMENT than anger. On the other hand... you have to feel very, very sorry about all the kids they've brainwashed into this kooky youth movement.

His movement's diatribe against one of our school newspapers, which published the actual view of the cult:

I don't know whether to laugh or cry at how removed from reality they are. I can't, however, seem to find the original "Expose: The Cult of Lyn LaRouche", though, which would add some context to the last bit. But I think it's fairly obvious how crazy they are from everything else.

I've read a couple of his pamphlets. They're amusing reading.

I think these are the guys who stuck an 80-page hand illustrated BOOK under my windshield about how illegal immigrants were being used to assassinate people with poisoned groceries.

I wonder if I still have the book...

The guy thinks video games should be banned like heroine, and were the sole cause for the VA Tech Massacre, when no game consoles were found in the killers suite, and no games were found on his hard drive.

I have friends at VA Tech. I know people whose friends were killed that day. Needless to say, LaRouche can kiss my ass, and his entire movement can go fuck themselves.

LaRouche has been around for a long time, and he's always been crazy. In the past, he suggested ideas like building a railway network in the Middle East, and colonizing Mars.

What I have to wonder is where his money comes from. The LaRouchites have been a presence on every college campus I've been to, including community colleges.

There's a book about him

Sorry, accidentally clicked submit instead of preview, and I can't edit here.

The book is called Lyndon LaRouche and the New American Fascism. Unfortunately, it has been published in 1989, and as far as I know, there was no updated edition. LaRouche has actually been in prison for fraud. Some people lost their life savings to him--the money mysteriously "disappeared", after which LaRouche got a huge mansion in West Virginia.

Oh, and according to LaRouche, Douglas MacArthur is the greatest general who ever lived, and Truman firing him was eeeeevil and part of the conspiracy.

By the way, MJ12 Commando, you're at UCLA? So am I.

This is the first I've heard of them. This 'movement' appears to have been pretty anemic before 2004, and it's only in the last year or so that they've taken off. I don't think this guy's got what it takes to be another Hitler, but the ease with which 'youth' have been suckered into all this crap makes me worry that future hard times will be a breeding ground for this type of nutjob. It's unstable feedback - society gets shaky, extremist factions arise, society gets shakier.

I'm trying to think of a name for this type of group, but nothing succinct comes to mind. Wannabe revolutionaries? Self-aggrandising cultists? The only general description I can think of is 'dangerous illogical movement'.
