Lyndon Larouche is the head of a far-left/far-right (they never seem to be able to make up their minds) group called the US Labor Party. The ideology is paranoid in the extreme - world interests manuipulated by the Queen of England, imminent nuclear war (sounds familiar, doesn't it...), Israel a Nazi concentration camp (a new peak in anti-Zionist rhetoric), etc. They have a history of violence - for a while they were "cleaning up" the American far left by beating up members of competing groups. Larouche is protected by people with training in terrorism. There is evidently a lot of money behind the USLP but no one really knows where it comes from. For a while they had a computer software company, but there was a big falling out between the head of the company and Larouche (this was described in an article in ComputerWorld 2-3 years ago). The USLP is presently trying to take over the Democratic party through some front groups. I believe they tried the same thing with the Republicans in the last election. I believe that the Anti-Defamation League of the B'nai Brith has good information on the USLP - among other things Lyndon Larouche is quite an anti-semite.
