Last I heard he >was in jail for fraud. Yes, quite in jail, but that doesn't even slow him down! I imagine that his organization is energized by it! Billboards blanket the Washington Metropolitan area with a message like: MR. BUSH, PLEASE PARDON LYNDON LaROUCHE... >A book was published on him (see Fall 1989 Whole Earth Review for >a review of the book). LYNDON LaROUCHE AND THE NEW AMERICAN FASCISM by Dennis King. It's an awesome book. I met King last year, and he has a right to be nervous! From the back of the dust jacket: PORTRAIT OF A FASCIST... Here, at last, is the real Lyndon LaRouche and the facts behind: o His swing from the far left to the ultraright o His role in the 1968 student riots at Columbia University o His dealings with the CIA and his input into the Star Wars program o His influence on every level of the American political scene -- from the 1981 New York City mayoral election to the 1988 presidential campaign -- and his smear campaigns against the opponents of Ed Koch, Jesse Helms, and George Bush. o His use of anti-Semitism and fascism to enlist more and more followers. o His connections with Teamster boss Jackie Presser and Panama's General Manual Noriega. Here is the complete, unadulterated story of a political fanatic and his mission -- Lyndon LaRouche and his vision of a fascist America. P.S. There should be a new edition of Peter Stafford's _Psychedelics Encyclopedia_ out. Keep your eyes peeled this year...
