ALT.RELIGION.KIBOLOGY
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS.
"WHAT TIME IS IT?"
7:04pm, Sunday, November 24, 1991. (Eastern US time.)
"WHAT'S ON TV?"
"60 Minutes" is starting. Andy Rooney is going to kill Charles
Osgood with a pool cue and paper clips.
"WHERE CAN I FIND THE FAQ LIST?"
Depends on what FAQ list you're looking for. The alt.religion.kibology
FAQ can be found in alt.postmodern. The alt.postmodern FAQ is in
alt.***. The alt.*** FAQ is in alt.exploding.kibo. The
alt.exploding.kibo
FAQ is in rec.arts.tv.soaps. The rec.arts.tv.soaps FAQ is in the bathtub.
"SPEAKING OF BATHTUBS, KIBO, WHAT'S THAT BLUE STUFF IN YOUR SOAP DISH?"
It's a special liquid soap I found that smells just like Blue Kool-Aid
tastes. No, it won't dye your skin.
"WHAT'S THE RIGHT WAY TO PRONOUNCE YOUR NAME?"
Loudly, very loudly. But seriously, folks... I say the 'i' in "Kibo" as
'eye'. Most people say 'ee' as in 'see', some say the short 'i' as in
'bit'.
I don't care what you say. Just _spell_ it right.
"HOW DID YOU GET THAT NAME?"
Somewhat accidentally. Don't ask.
"HOW DID YOU GET THAT NAME?"
I said...
"WHAT'S KIBOLOGY?"
That's a long story, and I won't burden you with the explanation right
now.
"WHAT'S ALT.RELIGION.KIBOLOGY FOR?"
Kibology. And almost anything. EXCEPT POSTMODERNISM AND XIBO'S
CAFFEINE-INDUCED WHINING ABOUT HIS LACK OF A *** LIFE.
"WHAT'S ALT.EXPLODING.KIBO FOR?"
For discussion of the act of blowing Kibo up, watching Kibo
spontaneously explode, drawing ASCII pictures of Kibo's head exploding,
sound files that go *BOOM*, etc. And almost anything else, except
postmodernism and Xibo's stuff.
"WHAT'S THE QOTD?"
"That's disgusting." -- Connie Chung
"WHAT'S A QOTD?"
Quote Of The Day. You'll also see Kibo occasionally posting ROTDs,
SOTDs, OOTDs, WOTDs, etc. here. They'll be explained later. Don't panic.
"DOES KIBO REALLY HAVE A BIG EGO?"
Kibo says, "Heck, I have THE SMALLEST EGO IN THE WHOLE WORLD. I'm MORE
HUMBLE than YOU."
"WHAT OTHER NEWSGROUPS DOES KIBO ANNOY?"
I'm running a complete search right now of three weeks' worth of Usenet.
You'll see a long list posted here soon.
"WHAT'S KIBO'S JOB?"
He's self-employed. He designs typefaces (he worked on an "A", an "s",
and a "W" today between appointments) and does things like letterheads,
logos, and business cards for clients. It's also rumored that he is
also an unlicensed psychotherapist (under an assumed name), but that's
untrue.
"WHAT DID KIBO STUDY IN COLLEGE?"
Sitcom writing. Really. Other kinds of writing, too (the degree says
"Writing, Literature, and Publi****ng: Professional Writing Division")
but the specialty was really in comedy and scriptwriting. (Emerson
College, Boston.)
"DOES KIBO HAVE ANY ILLUMINATIVE APHORISMS TO LIVE BY?"
Yes.
"You're allowed!"
"Everything is unique in exactly the same way!"
"Kibo is no ORDINARY bozo."
...and about six hundred more where those came from, if you're a
glutton for punishment.
"IS KIBO REALLY A COMPUTER PROGRAM?"
The rumors that I am an AI program are completely unfounded. Sixty
lines of LISP can hardly be called AI. (There's also a C version, which
is not currently endorsed, because some weenie changed my vocabulary
slightly.) The automatic Kibo-aphorism-generators should be posted here
eventually. Then you'll be able to experience the joy of having Kibo
babble at you ANY TIME!
"WHAT SHOULD I HAVE FOR DINNER?"
Eat lots of spicy Chinese food. Don't eat anywhere that has 'chow mein'
or 'chop suey' on the menu. Drink too much Dr. Pepper afterwards. Eat
leftover Chinese food on the subway illegally.
"CAN I GIVE KIBO ALL MY MONEY?"
Sure.
"DOES KIBO BELONG TO ANY PROMINENT ORGANIZATIONS?"
Yes, but most of them are secret, such as Aramchek and the Bavarian
Illuminati. A few aren't, such as the Society for Eradication of
Television and the Graphic Artists Guild. When Kibo was younger, he
belonged to the Dr. Seuss book club.
"WHERE DID KIBO GROW UP?"
Schenectady. Well, Scotia (a suburb of that enormous city.)
"IS KIBO EVER SARCASTIC?"
No, never. He also never lies.
"WHAT'S THE MAXMUM SIZE KIBO'S .SIGNATURE HAS EVER REACHED?"
Something like 1450 lines. Of course, that's too long to be posted,
since 1000 lines is often the limit. Also, the Postscript .signature is
around 300K, and the .RIB one is around twelve megabytes.
"IF ALL MY DINNER GUESTS ARE LEFT-HANDED, CAN I PUT THE FORKS ON THE
LEFT OF THE PLATE AND THE KNIVES ON THE RIGHT?"
Avoid the whole issue by using chopsticks, or better yet, mandels, the
miracle new food utensil from KiboCorp. (Mandels resemble small
catapults on sticks. You slide one under a piece of food, whack the
lever, and the food flies into your mouth. Not for use with soup.)
"DOES KIBO HAVE HIS OWN TV SHOW?"
Not yet. That's part of the reason he plans to buy a network first.
"HOW MUCH TV DOES KIBO WATCH?"
All thirteen inches--I've never heard of anyone watching only part of
the screen.
"WHAT'S KIBO'S FAVORITE TV SHOW?"
Nothing will ever top Geraldo opening Al Capone's vault!
"NO, REALLY."
Well, currently, Kibo likes Murphy Brown, The Prisoner, Pee-wee's
Playhouse, Parker Lewis Can't Lose, Seinfeld, etc. Kibo also likes
Really Bad TV Shows, for the humor value: Small Wonder, The Grudge
Match, What A Dummy, Space:1999, etc.
"WHAT'S KIBO'S EMAIL ADDRESS?"
kibo@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Before you ask, STD.COM is the Center For _S_exually
_T_ransmitted _D_iseases.
"WHAT NICKNAME DOES KIBO USE ON IRC?"
"Kibo". Better write that down.
"WHERE DOES KIBO LIVE?"
Boston's Back Bay. Don't bother trying to visit. The intercom in the
lobby's broken, which is a good way to keep the hordes of riffraff away.
"WHAT DOES KIBO THINK ABOUT TOFU?"
It's vegetarian Spam. It is evil... and must be destroyed.
"WHY DID KIBO WASTE SO MUCH TIME TYPING UP THIS FAQ LIST ABOUT HIMSELF?"
Oh, it only took thirty minutes. And besides, this is just the early
version. The next one will probably be a few hundred lines longer. Got
any questions?

Hey, is Ted Danson really as bald as they say? He couldn't be, his hair's
fluffy, and wigs can't be fluffy! William Shatner wears a toupee though,
I bet you didn't know that! I hope I never go bald. I'd lose my ***
appeal.

"If I had MY OWN NETWORK, it would be on ALL the TIME. It would be
EDUCATIONAL,
like COSMOS and NOVA, but not so DRY. It would best be seen on
HIGH-definition
TELEVISION. And every DAY we'd READ from the BOOK of CHER, because when
you
READ from the BOOK of CHER, it doesn't MATTER if you UNDERSTAND... it's
the ACT
that MATTERS. MY network would be METAphysical, paraNORMAL, and
EXTRAORDINARILY
ORDINARY. It would COMPEL you to RELAX and read `MADAME BOVARY', LOOK
into the
MOUTHS of VOLCANOES and LEARN to make RISOTTO... It would have a LINEAR
BUILD
and ARISTOTELIAN LINES... MY network would be both JARRING and
AVANT-GARDE...
with just a TOUCH of BRIAN DENNEHY. MY network would not promote WAR,

WATCH MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 2000 ON THE COMEDY CHANNEL !!!
*******************************************************************************
MY TEN FAVORITE QUOTES: Broad-mindedness, n.: The result of flattening
high-
mindedness out. There is a certain impertinence in allowing oneself to be
burned for an opinion. All the good ones are taken. "Microwave oven?
Whaddya
mean, it's a microwave oven? I've been watching Channel 4 on the thing for
two
weeks." Murphy was an optimist. Love means having to say you're sorry
every
five minutes. No matter how great your triumphs or how tragic your defeats
--
approximately one billion Chinese couldn't care less. Get forgiveness now
--
tomorrow you may no longer feel guilty. Commitment can be illustrated by a
breakfast of ham and eggs. The chicken was involved, the pig was
committed.
You are here ------> * But you're not all there. Kirkland, Illinois, law
forbids bees to fly over the village or through any of its streets. Love
and
scandal are the best sweeteners of tea. A clairvoyant is a person,
commonly a
woman, who has the power of seeing that which is invisible to her patron
--
namely, that he is a blockhead. A multi-day event on public television,
used
to raise money so you won't have to watch commercials. Try to get all of
your posthumous medals in advance. The bureaucracy is expanding to meet
the
needs of an expanding bureaucracy. The intelligence of any discussion
diminishes with the square of the number of participants. The hearing ear
is
always found close to the speaking tongue, a custom whereof the memory of
man
runneth not howsomever to the contrary, nohow. Good advice is something
a
man gives when he is too old to set a bad example. -- La Rouchefoucauld
Professor Gorden Newell threw another shutout in last week's Chem. Eng.
130
midterm. Once again no student received a single point on his exam.
Newell
has now tossed 5 shutouts this quarter. Newell's earned exam average has
now
dropped to a phenomenal 30%"Consequences, Schmonsequences, as long as I'm
rich." -- "Ali Baba Bunny" [1957, Chuck Jones] Marriage is the only
adventure
open to the cowardly. -- Voltaire The First Rule of Program
Optimization:
Don't do it. The Second Rule of Program Optimization (for experts only!):
Don't do it yet. -- Michael Jackson Goldenstern's Rules: (1) Always hire
a
rich attorney (2) Never buy from a rich salesman. The problem ... is
that we
have run out of dinosaurs to form oil with. Scientists working for the
Department of Energy have tried to form oil using other animals; they've
piled thousands of tons of sand and Middle Eastern countries on top of
cows,
raccoons, haddock, laboratory rats, etc., but so far all they have
managed to
do is run up an enormous bulldozer-rental bill and anger a lot of Middle
Eastern persons. None of the animals turned into oil, although most of
the
laboratory rats developed cancer. -- Dave Barry, "Postpetroleum
Guzzler" If
a 6600 used paper tape instead of core memory, it would use up tape at
about
30 miles/second. -- Grishman, Assembly Language Programming Peanut
Blossoms 4
cups sugar 16 tbsp. milk 4 cups brown sugar 4 tsp. vanilla 4 cups
shortening 14 cups flour 8 eggs 4 tsp. soda 4 cups peanut butter 4
tsp.
salt Shape dough into balls. Roll in sugar and bake on ungreased cookie
sheet at 375 F. for 10-12 minutes. Immediately top each cookie with a
Hershey's kiss or star pressing down firmly to crack cookie. Makes a
hell of
a lot. Gyroscope, n.: A wheel or disk mounted to spin rapidly about an
axis
and also free to rotate about one or both of two axes perpendicular to
each
other and the axis of spin so that a rotation of one of the two mutually
perpendicular axes results from application of torque to the other when
the
wheel is spinning and so that the entire apparatus offers considerable
opposition depending on the angular momentum to any torque that would
change
the direction of the axis of spin. -- Webster's Seventh New Collegiate
Dictionary. In fifteen minutes, everyone will be famous. -- Andy Warhol

Majel Barett was only on STAR TREK because she was married to William
Shatner.
The new STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION new series that they're making
now is too full of Yuppie bozos. And the special effects are too good.

Re: your .sig
Hi there.
Thanks for your nifty .sig. I already got a copy from alt.fan.warlord,
but with such a wonderful work of art, you can never have too many copies,
can you? Well, of course you can! I mean, "Mona Lisa" is a damn good
painting, but am I going to hang it in every room in my apartment? No!
But I digress.
Anyway, to make your .sig a bit more "user-friendly", here is an index for
it. The numbers, of course, refer to line numbers.
I'll let someone ELSE do a table of contents.
Suggestions for index:
1) Append it to the end of the .sig
2) Include it as a seperate file
3) Just delete the damn thing, log off, and watch Ren and Stimpy
or (my favorite): append it to the end of your sig, THEN log off and
watch Ren and Stimpy.

How do I flame someone?
First we need to get some definitions sorted:
troll
v.,n. [From the Usenet group alt.folklore.urban] To utter a posting on
Usenet designed to attract predictable responses or flames; or, the post
itself. Derives from the phrase "trolling for newbies" which in turn comes
from mainstream "trolling", a style of fi****ng in which one trails bait
through a likely spot hoping for a bite. The well-constructed troll is a
post that induces lots of newbies and flamers to make themselves look even
more clueless than they already do, while subtly conveying to the more
savvy and experienced that it is in fact a deliberate troll. If you don't
fall for the joke, you get to be in on it. See also YHBT.
n. An individual who chronically trolls in sense 1; regularly posts
specious arguments, flames or personal attacks to a newsgroup, discussion
list, or in email for no other purpose than to annoy someone or disrupt a
discussion. Trolls are recognizable by the fact that they have no real
interest in learning about the topic at hand - they simply want to utter
flame bait. Like the ugly creatures they are named after, they exhibit no
redeeming characteristics, and as such, they are recognized as a lower
form of life on the net, as in, "Oh, ignore him, he's just a troll."
Some people claim that the troll (sense 1) is properly a narrower category
than flame bait, that a troll is categorized by containing some assertion
that is wrong but not overtly controversial.
The use of 'troll' in either sense is a live metaphor that readily
produces elaborations and combining forms. For example, one not
infrequently sees the warning "Do not feed the troll" as part of a
followup to troll postings.
See also Kook.
plonk
excl.,vt. [Usenet: possibly influenced by British slang 'plonk' for cheap
booze, or 'plonker' for someone behaving stupidly (latter is lit.
equivalent to Yiddish 'schmuck')] The sound a newbie makes as he falls to
the bottom of a kill file. While it originated in the newsgroup
talk.bizarre, this term (usually written "*plonk*") is now (1994)
widespread on Usenet.
The word *plonk* in British slang also means to dump something somewhere
until a more suitable home can be found for it. E.g. "Just plonk it down
there", when someone has something for you but you don't have time to deal
with it. Quite often, when someone is really busy, things which have been
"plonked" somewhere get lost and never see the light of day again.
"Plonk" has been used in printed cartoons to denote the sound large drips
of water make - something like a more emphatic "plop". The similarity
between newbies and drips may be a happy coincidence.
The term "plonker" meaning a "person with little or no knowledge" is
probably too modern for it to be directly related
See also kill file. (Thanks to Barry Harkcom for the additional details).
kill file
n. [Usenet; very common] (alt. 'KILL file') Per-user file(s) used by some
Usenet reading programs (originally Larry Wall's rn(1)) to discard
summarily (without presenting for reading) articles matching some
particularly uninteresting (or unwanted) patterns of subject, author, or
other header lines. Thus to add a person (or subject) to one's kill file
is to arrange for that person to be ignored by one's newsreader in future.
By extension, it may be used for a decision to ignore the person or
subject in other media.
See also plonk.
The key element of really flaming someone, is style. As demonstrated by
Guy Macon:
You swine. You vulgar little maggot. You worthless bag of filth. As we say
in Texas, you couldn't pour water out of a boot with instructions printed
on the heel. You are a canker, an open wound. I would rather kiss a lawyer
than be seen with you. You took your last vacation in the Islets of
Langerhans
You're a putrescent mass, a walking vomit. You are a spineless little worm
deserving nothing but the profoundest contempt. You are a jerk, a cad, a
weasel. Your life is a monument to stupidity. You are a stench, a
revulsion, a big suck on a sour lemon.
You are a bleating foal, a curdled staggering mutant dwarf smeared richly
with the effluvia and offal accompanying your alleged birth into a hostile
world. You are an insensate, blinking calf, meaningful to nobody,
abandoned by the puke-drooling, giggling beasts who sired you and then
died of shame in recognition of what they had done. They were a bit late.
I will never get over the embarrassment of belonging to the same species
as you. You are a monster, an ogre, a malformity. I barf at the very
thought of you. You have all the appeal of a paper cut. Lepers avoid you.
You are vile, worthless, less than nothing. You are a weed, a fungus, the
dregs of this earth. And did I mention that you smell?
Try to edit your responses of unnecessary material before attempting to
impress us with your insight. The evidence that you are a nincompoop will
still be available to readers, but they will be able to access it ever so
much more rapidly.
You snail-skulled little rabbit. Would that a hawk pick you up, drive its
beak into your brain, and upon finding it rancid set you loose to fly
briefly before spattering the ocean rocks with the frothy pink shame of
your ignoble blood. May you choke on the queasy, convulsing nausea of your
own trite, foolish beliefs.
You are weary, stale, flat and unprofitable. You are grimy, squalid, nasty
and profane. You are foul and disgusting. You're a fool, an ignoramus.
Monkeys look down on you. Even sheep won't have *** with you. You are
unreservedly pathetic, starved for attention, and lost in a land that
reality forgot. You are not ANSI compliant. You have a couple of address
lines shorted together. You should be promoted to Engineering Manager.
And what meaning do you expect your delusionally self-im****tant statements
of unknowing, inexperienced opinion to have with us? What fantasy do you
hold that you would believe that your tiny-fisted tantrums would have more
weight than that of a leprous desert rat, spinning rabidly in a circle,
waiting for the bite of the s****?
You are a waste of flesh. You have no rhythm. You are ridiculous and
obnoxious. You are the moral equivalent of a leech. You are a living
emptiness, a meaningless void. You are sour and senile. You are a
loathsome disease, a puerile slack-jawed drooling meatslapper. You make
Quakers shout and strike Pentecostals silent. You are the kind of person
who would remove this reference to Version 5.32 and to
http://www.guymacon.com/insult.txt
so people will think that you wrote
this. Your mother had to tie a ****k chop around your neck just to get your
dog to play with you. You think P.D.Q. Bach is the greatest composer who
ever lived. You prefer L. Ron Hubbard to Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle.
Hee-Haw is too deep for you. You would watch test patterns all day if the
other inmates would let you.
On a good day you're a half-wit. You remind me of drool. You are deficient
in all that lends character. You have the personality of wallpaper. You
are dank and filthy. You are asinine and benighted. You are the source of
all unpleasantness. You spread misery and sorrow wherever you go.
You smarmy lagerlout git. You bloody woofter sod. Bugger off, pillock. You
grotty wanking oik artless base-court apple-john. You clouted boggish
foot-licking half-twit. You dankish clack-dish plonker. You gormless
crook-pated tosser. You bloody churlish boil-brained clotpole ponce. You
craven dewberry pisshead cockup pratting naff. You cockered bum-bailey
poofter. You gob-kissing gleeking flap-mouthed coxcomb. You dread-bolted
fobbing beef-witted clapper-clawed flirt-gill.
You are so clueless that if we stripped you ****d, soaked you in clue
musk, and dropped you into a field full of ***** clues, You still would
not have a clue.
You are a fiend and a coward, and you have bad breath. You are degenerate,
noxious and depraved. I feel debased just for knowing you exist. I despise
everything about you, and I wish you would go away.
I cannot believe how incredibly stupid you are. I mean rock-hard stupid.
Dehydrated-rock-hard stupid. Stupid so stupid that it goes way beyond the
stupid we know into a whole different dimension of stupid. You are
trans-stupid stupid. Meta-stupid. Stupid collapsed on itself so far that
even the neutrons have collapsed. Stupid gotten so dense that no intellect
can escape. Singularity stupid. Blazing hot mid-day sun on Mercury stupid.
You emit more stupid in one second than our entire galaxy emits in a year.
Quasar stupid. Your writing has to be a troll. Nothing in our universe can
really be this stupid. Perhaps this is some primordial fragment from the
original big bang of stupid. Some pure essence of a stupid so
uncontaminated by anything else as to be beyond the laws of physics that
we know. I'm sorry. I can't go on. This is an epiphany of stupid for me.
After this, you may not hear from me again for a while. I don't have
enough strength left to deride your ignorant questions and half baked
comments about unim****tant trivia, or any of the rest of this drivel. Duh.
The only thing worse than your logic is your manners. I have snipped away
most of your of what you wrote, because, well... it didn't really say
anything. Your attempt at constructing a creative flame was pitiful. I
mean, really, stringing together a bunch of insults among a load of
babbling was hardly effective... Maybe later in life, after you have
learned to read, write, spell, and count, you will have more success.
True, these are rudimentary skills that many of us "normal" people take
for granted that everyone has an easy time of mastering. But we sometimes
forget that there are "challenged" persons in this world who find these
things more difficult. If I had known, that this was your case then I
would have never read your post. It just wouldn't have been "right". Sort
of like parking in a handicap space. I wish you the best of luck in the
emotional, and social struggles that seem to be placing such a demand on
you.
The Political Cartel Of Republicrats and Democrats
- by Phillip D. Collins ©, June 18th, 2008
http://www.conspiracyarchive.com/Commentary/Political_Cartel.htm
With the presidential elections steadily approaching, a question is being
asked with increasing frequency: Who are you voting for?
Personally, this questions aggravates me. Why? Because it is framed within
a distinctly Hegelian framework. This framework consists of the confining
dialectics of left vs. right, liberal vs.
conservative, and, of course, Democrat vs. Republican. The latter of these
dialectics is, for me, the most frustrating. Why? Because there's no real
difference between Republicans and Democrats.
Whenever the religious adherent of partisan affiliations attempts to
"convert" me to their creed, I direct him or her to a quote from an
obscure book entitled Tragedy and Hope. In this book, Georgetown
University Professor Carroll Quigley writes, "The argument that the two
parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps of the
Right and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea. Instead the two
parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can 'throw
the rascals out' at any election without leading to any profound or
extensive ****fts in policy…
It should be able to replace it, every four years if necessary, by the
other party, which … will still pursue with new vigor, approximately the
same basic policies."
In truth, the purpose of a two party system is the maintenance of a
political cartel. Within such a framework, viable alternatives are
overlooked and the same logically bankrupt status quo remains enshrined.
To qualify this contention, I will briefly examine one major issue that
occupies the mind of the voter: the war. To be sure, this is not the only
point of convergence for the Democrats and Republicans, but it is one of
the most transparently fraudulent dichotomies on the political landscape.
The dominant perception holds that Republicans are "hawks" while Democrats
are "doves."
However, history does not bear out this dualistic ****trait.
It was Republican President William Taft who endeavored to keep America
out of unnecessary and costly wars. Now, under the sway of Jacobin-esque
neoconservative warmongers, the Republican Party sup****ts militaristic
campaigns abroad and a meddlesome interventionist foreign policy. A
natural correlative of this ongoing war has been the expansion of an
already burgeoning government. Gee, aren't Republicans supposed to oppose
Big Government?
Look for more of the same with a McCain presidency. John McCain has
candidly stated that the so-called "War on Terror" could last a hundred
years. This statement carries with it some truly Orwellian implications.
Those who have read 1984 will recall the centrality of perpetual war to
the maintenance of a police state.
In light of the unprecedented infringements on civil liberties
facilitated by the Patriot Act, it would appear that dystopian fiction is
becoming an ominous reality. Historically, external threats have provided
an expedient pretext for the dismantling of individual freedoms.
This contention was eloquently synopsized by James Madison in a letter to
Thomas Jefferson. In that letter, Madison wrote, "Perhaps it is a
universal truth that the loss of liberty at home is to be charged against
provisions against danger, real or pretended from abroad."
Meanwhile, the Democrats are no more devoted to preventing needless wars
than the Republicans. Howard Dean sup****ted the Clinton Administration's
military intervention in Bosnia, which represented a blatant violation of
the country's national sovereignty. Worse still, Dean advocated further
unilateral intervention because he was dissatisfied with the multilateral
action taken against Bosnia. Ironically, the same political Left decried
America's unilateral initiation of military action against Afghanistan and
Iraq after September 11. Oh, yes, and lest we forget, Hillary Clinton
voted for the war in Iraq. Now, this Democratic presidential candidate
decries the war in Iraq as though she had had nothing to do with it. Hmmm.
Methinks such protestations are just a little bit disingenuous, especially
when Hillary vows to destroy Iran if it should go to war with Israel.
And, no, Barack Obama will not bring the troops home. To be sure, Obama
has promised a lot of things, but America's withdrawal from Iraq is not
one of them. In fact, Obama has pledged to maintain a military presence in
Mesopotamia to prevent al-Qaeda from establi****ng a foothold there. Behind
Obama's messianic facade is the same imperial hubris endemic to the
Republican Party.
Such hypocrisy is nothing new. During his presidential debate with George
W. Bush, Kerry chastised the Commander-in-Chief for the quagmire of Iraq.
Simultaneously, he admonished audiences about the supposed threat of
Syria. Evidently, the antiwar mantras of the Democrats amount to little
more than empty rhetoric. They are simply more selective about who they
rattle their spears at. One must wonder if the political Left would have
objected to the war in Iraq if it had been initiated multilaterally by the
United Nations instead of the United States. For some inexplicable reason,
in the Leftist mind, war attains a euphemistic veneer when its combatants
are adorned with blue helmets and armbands.
In a recent article, Robert Kagan correctly observed that "In 2008, as in
almost every election of the past century, American voters will choose
between two variations of the same worldview."
What is that worldview? The answer is sociopolitical Utopianism.
Both parties are committed to tangibly enacting their anthropocentric
vision of "heaven on earth." War represents one point of convergence
between the two because, from their Enlightenment universalist
perspective, war is an instrument for the ex****tation of democratism. Many
of those Democrats and Republicans who don't subscribe to this worldview
attach themselves to those that do for purely pragmatic purposes. In fact,
many Democrats and Republicans even share member****p in organizations
devoted to dismantling national sovereignty and amalgamating America in
some form of global governance
(e.g., the Council on Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Commission).
Of course, they either forget or ignore all those who stand to lose from
globalization. Besides, you and I are just uneducated citizens who don't
know what's good for us. This paradigm represents the nadir of Utopian
fanaticism.
So, who should America vote for in 2008? Here's an idea… someone who
will
restore the Constitution as the supreme law of the land. What a concept!
Such a lofty mandate is conspicuously absent from the party platforms of
both the Republicrats and the Democans. Ultimately, the choice is not
about left or right, but right and wrong.

World Government Fronts, Psycho-social Change Agents
An octopus of Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs), Tax-Exempt

Establishment practice the subtle science of persuasion. In the last two
hundred years there isn't a single area of society that hasn't been
influenced by facilitators of transformation education. For complete
control of the m***** a dictator****p is not necessary, although it does
expedite the process. The collective moulding begins early in life,
sustained and refined throughout one's formal education; a universal
curriculum of manipulation can transform and achieve a complete paradigm
****ft for a whole generation.

Concepts Underlying the New Age Cultural ****ft
I like to think of new agers in two camps; social new agers who simply go
along with the drift of social change, and true disciples of "light", the
New Age Proper, or students of the "Ageless Wisdom" taught by Alice
Bailey.
Revolution of the Mind: The Dreams of Aldous Huxley
Like his contem****ary, George Orwell, Aldous Huxley was fascinated by the
rigid social structure he saw erected throughout his lifetime and
projected the extreme climax of that structure in his work. Also like his
Fabian Socialist counter-part, many of his novels would later be
interpreted as warnings wrapped in science-fiction plots of a technocratic
one-world dictator****p.
Brotherhood of the Bell: Black Arts and Black Sciences
Cutting-edge technology such as stealth aircraft, invisible hovercraft,
extremely low frequency mind control, weather control, and cloning became
secret sciences. The new knowledge was and still is not available to the
regular Army, to Congress, or to any University.
The Ascendancy of the Scientific Dictator****p (Part Two)
In part two of this article, we trace the thread of the concept of
'survival of the fittest' from Condorcet to Malthus, to Spencer, to
Wallace and to Darwin; elucidate the 'predictive programming' contained in
science fiction novels; and illuminate the extraterrestrial connection,
specifically the Freemasonic im****t of Sirius, the Dog Star.
The Intelligent Student's Guide to the New World Order
The essence of the New World Order (NWO) or world management system is
that it is management by social engineers, rather than government based on
a written constitution.
Darwinism: Then and Now
Every major war and revolution from the Victorian Age onward has its
catalyst rooted in the dialectical-materialism philosophy known as
Evolution. Today these concepts are found in Communist regimes and the
western world. In the US, Communist activism broke out on the streets and
college campuses during the 60s and 70s in war protests, and in general
counter-culture movements under the cloak of various civil rights
movements such as feminism and often with the radical motives of breaking
up families.
Conquest by Convergence: The Case Against Elite Convergence
Among one of the most absurd and irrational myths circulated by the
orthodoxy of political science is the concept of elite convergence.
According to this hopelessly flawed view, the problems of injustice and
inequity that destabilize societal order are remedied when opposing
factions of the ruling class arrive at an agreement. Hypothetically, this
coalitional realignment within the elite will deter further deviation from
democratic norms. In harmonious consensus, the elite paternally guide the
ignorant sheep of the lower cl***** into the future.
The Hidden Face of Terrorism
In our modern world, discomforting truths are usually discarded in favour
of fictions. One such fiction is the idea that terrorists are
disenfranchised dissidents who independently generate the wealth and
resources necessary for their heinous acts.
The Search for the Manchurian Candidate - The CIA and Mind Control:
Brainwa****ng (Chapter 8)
His smorgasbord approach brought together virtually all possible
techniques of mind control, which he tested individually and together.
When his Agency grant came through in 1957, Cameron began work on sensory
deprivation.
Global Governance: Why? How? When?
The other idea, the idea of sovereign government, is not new.
Historically, the conqueror was the government. The Emperor, the King, the
conqueror by whatever name, established his government by appointment and
established laws by decree. Variations of this idea emerged over time to
give the perception that the people had some say in the development of
law.
Rothschilds and the Grail Bloodline
Jacob Rothschild, the current head of the Rothschild dynasty, has
intermarried with the Sinclair family, forging an im****tant alliance
between the head family of the Illuminati, and the supposed descendants of
the Grail family.
Illuminati Conspiracy Part One: A Precise Exegesis on the Available
Evidence
Part one of an intensive investigation into the real history of the
Illuminati: timeline; extensive member****p list (80+), aliases, profiles
and influence; Illuminati cyphers, occult connections, the Brethren of
Minerva and more. New discoveries never before seen in print or on the
Web.
North American Forum: The Secret Cabal of Trinational Elites
My first thought following the news of the secret meeting of elites at
Banff Springs Hotel, Alberta, Canada (Sept. 12-14), was that this amounted
to a new group of insiders in the tradition of the Bilderbergers. This
*****sment turned out to be more precise than I had originally
anticipated.
The Order of the Skull and Bones
The story begins at Yale, where three threads of American social history -
espionage, drug smuggling and secret societies - intertwine into one.
“The main features of the Weishaupt plan of operation required his
Illuminati to do the following things to help them to accomplish their
purpose:
1. Monetary and *** bribery was to be used to obtain control of men
already in high places in the various levels of all governments and other
fields of endeavor. Once influential persons had fallen for the lies,
deceits, and temptations of the Illuminati, they were to be held in
bondage by application of political and other forms of blackmail, threats
of financial ruin, public exposure, and physical harm, even death to
themselves and loved members of their families.
2. The Illuminati who were on the faculty of colleges and universities
were to cultivate students possessing exceptional mental ability and who
belonged to well-bred families with international leanings, and recommend
them for special training in Internationalism. Such training was to be
provided by granting scholar****ps, like the Rhodes Scholar****p, to those
selected by the Illuminati. All such scholars were to be first persuaded
and then convinced that men of special talent and brains had the right to
rule those less gifted on the grounds that the m***** do not know what is
best for them physically, mentally, and spiritually.
3. All influential people who were trapped to come under the control of
the Illuminati, plus the students who had been specially educated and
trained, were to be used as agents and placed behind the scenes of all
governments as experts and specialists. They would advise the top
executives to adopt policies which would, in the long run, serve the
secret plans of the Illuminati's one world conspiracy, and bring about the
destruction of the governments and religions they were elected or
appointed to serve.
4. They were to obtain absolute control of the press so that all news and
information could be slanted to convince the m***** that a one world
government is the only solution to our many and varied problems. They were
also to own and control all the national radio and TV channels.
After reading these four points of strategy, we have to admit that our
mass communications media is controlled at all levels, and that at all
levels our governments are also infiltrated and controlled, just like
Weishaupt had planned back in the 1700's. Unfortunately, few people are
aware of this fact, which is why they make little sense out of many of the
world events that take place today.”

On the positive side, there are a lot of interesting, if not shocking,
descriptions of LaRouche's (and his cult followers') activities and
beliefs.
For example, LaRouche had a particular dislike for Henry Kissinger and
went
all out to try to get him. To name a few things he did to annoy Kissinger:
LaRouche circulated a leaflet entitled, "Kissinger: The Politics of
Faggotry" (p. 151), and had his followers harass Kissinger in Europe with
"schoolboy pranks, crank calls," and so forth (p. 150). He also
disseminated
an article called "How Henry Kissinger Will Be Destroyed" to Kissinger's
audience when he spoke at Georgetown University (p. 151). Still, one is
left
not really understanding where all the loathing for Kissinger came from.
Of
course, it is alleged that LaRouche hates Jewish people, but why did he
single out Kissinger and why did he insist that Kissinger is gay when
Kissinger is married and there is no reason to believe that he is gay?
King's description of LaRouche's beliefs and activities makes for
enjoyable
reading in the way that a horror movie can make for good entertainment. If
King is accurate, then LaRouche (and his followers) are about as cynical,
sociopathic, and exploitative as they come. For example, King writes, "the
LaRouchians had come to believe that really clever conspirators never
carry
out an assassination themselves, but simply spread hate propaganda about
the
targeted person which might trigger an attack by some disturbed
personality
or fanatic. That way they can never be held legally responsible" (p. 153).
This book is full of endlessly disturbing descriptions of LaRouche's
hunger
for and abuse of power.
25 June 1996
GOVERNMENT MUST INVESTIGATE LAROUCHE CULT
The Executive Council of Australian Jewry called today for an
investigation
into the activities of the Lyndon LaRouche political cult in Australia.
The ECAJ, the roof body of Australia's Jewish community, issued the
following statement today:
"The Lyndon LaRouche cult has established an international reputation for
fraudulent and dishonest activities. Last night's Four Corners re****t
contained disturbing new evidence that the cult's Australian followers
have
been involved in activities which are both abhorrent and malevolent,
consistent with the group's behaviour internationally.
The cult's history has been marked by an antisemitic obsession with Jewish
individuals and organisations. The information regarding the group's
targeting of prominent and respected Jewish Australians will serve as a
chilling example of the lengths to which such obsessed people will go. It
is
particularly disturbing to learn of the apparent collaboration between the
cult and federal and territory political figures.
All Australians have the right to live their lives free of harassment and
with their basic privacy and personal security ensured. The ECAJ calls on
the Australian government to commission a re****t by law enforcement
agencies
as to whether the anti-Australian behaviour of the Australian sup****ters
of
Lyndon LaRouche involved any illegal activities, including breaches of
visa
regulations."
The Paranoid Style
LaRouche's parlaying of personal and political conspiracy theories
into a multi-million dollar financial empire is unique, but paranoid
political movments occur cyclically in American history. In his
widely-quoted essay "The Paranoid Style in American Politics,"
professor Richard Hofstadter argues that in times of economic,
social or political crisis, small conspiracy-minded groups suddenly
gain a mass following. The anti-Catholic hysteria of the 1800's, the
anti-immmigrant movement which led to the Palmer Raids in 1919,
the Red Scare of the 1950's and other societal convulsions, are
examples, wrote Hofstadter.
Such movements rise and fall periodically, according to Hofstadter,
appealing to people fearful about the world political and economic
situation, and longing for simple solutions to complex problems.
The use of scapegoats is common among these movements. The
findings of two academics who studied a LaRouche campaign
contributor list (available from the Federal Election Commission)
lend sup****t to the thesis that LaRouche appeals to a paranoid
constituency. In a 1986 press release, "Who Controls Us: A Profile
of Lyndon LaRouche's Campaign Contributors," John C. Green and
James L. Guth of Furman University identify LaRouche as "a new
celebrity on the extreme right."
"An analysis of his campaign contributors suggests that LaRouche
should be taken seriously, not as a candidate, but as evidence of the
failure--and success--American politics," wrote the professors.
According to the results of the study, among LaRouche's
contributors are a significant pro****tion of Northern neo-populist
conservatives, "profoundly uncomfortable with modern America
and susceptible to conspiratorial explanations of their distress. One
seemed to speak for the others when he listed his major concern as
`who really controls us?' To many of these alienated people,
LaRouche's outlandish views offer a plausible answer to this
question."
According to the study:
"Though LaRouche campaigns as a Democrat, most of his donors
are independents, with the largest group `leaning' Republican. but
ordinary people as well, believing that no one can be trusted `most
of the time.' Very few say they are optimistic about their future or
that of the country. They are equally disillusioned with politics,
40% re****t having become discouraged and ceased participating at
some point. These attitudes extend to current political groups as
well. Three-quarters feel `far' from mainstream conservative
organizations such as the Chamber of Commerce. Roughly equal
numbers feel `close' and `far' from more reactionary groups like the
John Birch Society. Uniform dislike, however, is reserved for
liberal advocates of change; the ACLU, Common Cause and Ralph
Nader.
"LaRouche is most criticized for his political intolerance, a trait
exhibited by his contributors. To measure tolerance, we asked all
donors to name a group they regarded as `dangerous' and then
asked if they would allow a member of that group to run for
president, speak in a public place or teach in public school. Only a
quarter of the LaRouchians would allow a member of their
`dangerous' group to engage in all three activities and another
quarter would allow none.
"LaRouche would probably approve of their choice of `dangerous'
groups: more than half of the mentions figure prominently in
`conspiracy' theories of politics, such as communists, drug dealers,
Jews, bankers, intellectuals and the mass media. Some
`conspiracies' are explicitly named: the `zionist-socialist
movement,' the `international drug ring,' `cartel control of money'
and the `post-industrial counter-culture.' But other donors identify
mainstream organizations and leaders as `dangerous,' including the
`unilateral disarmament advocates,' `eco-freaks,' `Hayden and
Fonda,' `socialist Democrats' and `big labor bosses.'
"These kinds of attitudes occur among other conservative activists,
but rarely to this extent. And the LaRouchians differ from other
conservatives in demographic terms as well. LaRouche's donors
seem to be the remnant of the `small town America' of a generation
ago. Nearly three-quarters were born in the Midwest or Northeast
and more than half still live there, outside the major cities. Most
spent their adult life in one or two states; the only major move they
have ever made was to retire to the Sunbelt. Two-thirds are 55 or
older, male, of WASP or German extraction, and products of
[nuclear two-parent] families. They are not, however, particularly
religious; most belong to mainline Protestant denominations and
few are active church members. "
The authors concluded, "it is alienated people who make fringe
candidates possible. LaRouche should be taken seriously as a
symptom of distress in a small part of the body politic. His limited
appeal is a sign of the basic health of America politics."
One historian, author George Seldes, thinks LaRouche has
followed another seldom travelled but clearly recognizable historic
path--the road from Socialism through National Socialism to
Fascism. Seldes has authored some ten books concerning
authoritarianism and thinks LaRouche's theories and style represent
classic "Mussolini-style fascist" ideology. Seldes' analysis carries
weight especially since he wrote a biography of Mussolini in 1935
titled
Secret Agent LaRouche
In a sense LaRouche is a "Silicon Caesar" since he has risen to
power through a sophisticated computerized telecommunications
network which gathers political and economic intelligence and then
packages it for dissemination through newsletters, magazines,
special re****ts and consulting services. Former Reagan advisor and
National Security Council senior analyst, Dr. Norman Bailey, told
NBC re****ter Pat Lynch the LaRouche network was "one of the
best private intelligence services in the world."
Not everyone shares the view. When Henry Kissinger was told of
how LaRouche operatives met with high Reagan Administration
officials in the early 1980's, he told the , "If this is
true, it would be outrageous, stupid, and nearly unforgivable."
Dennis King, co-author of the article which
examined LaRouche's influence in scientific and intelligence
circles, says during the first Reagan term LaRouche aides managed
to gain "access to an alarming array of influential persons in
government, law enforcement, scientific research and private
industry." These ties form the basis of the LaRouche "CIA defense"
against the charges he conspired to obstruct justice. LaRouche
claims he believed his security aide Roy Frankhauser, a former Ku
Klux Klan leader and government law enforcement informant, was a
covert conduit to the CIA.
John Rees, an ultra-conservative whose
newsletter re****ts on political extremes on the left and right, says
he "believes the story that LaRouche staffers had
access to a lot of people." But he points out, "If you have all the
electronic resources and information-gathering staff that LaRouche
posesses you are bound to come up with occasional gems, that's
what most people were interested in, not the LaRouche
philosophy." Both King and Rees feel the Reagan Administration
consciously began distancing itself from contacts with the
LaRouche network following the and NBC
stories.
Russ Bellant, a long-time LaRouche watcher from Detroit, notes
that in the mid-1970's LaRouche simultaneously turned to the right
and tried to link up with more respectable groups, including, for a
brief period, several state Republican Party organizations. "Some
tactical political alliances with various right-wing groups were
made on the basis of LaRouche's scurrilous disruption campaigns
against mutual enemies, especially liberal Democrats," says Bellant.
In fact, LaRouche has consistently targetted the American left, and
done so with material and moral sup****t from small but significant
elements in law enforcement, the Republican Party and the
American far right. There is also evidence to suggest that the
LaRouche organization maintained a cozy relation****p with certain
elements in U.S. and foreign intelligence, military and police
agencies.
Bellant and other LaRouche-watchers feel the LaRouche network
and its questionable finances and intelligence activities may have
been overlooked by certain individuals in intelligence and law
enforcement agencies. "These persons were focusing more on the
information being churned up by LaRouche's intelligence-gathering
apparatus," says Bellant.
LaRouche-related financial operations have run afoul of the law
before, but by adopting an aggressive legal strategy his groups have
been able to fend off successful prosecution for years until cases
were dropped or settled by exhausted plaintiffs and prosecutors.
One Illinois case involving LaRouche-backed mayoral candidate
Sheila Jones and LaRouche's Illinois Anti-Drug Coaliton has
dragged on for over six years.
The 1986 Illinois primary victory by two LaRouche followers,
however, raised the ante. "The visibility that came to LaRouche
after the Illinois primary lent credibility to the investigations into
his financial operations by bringing forward scores of persons who
claimed to have been defrauded by LaRouche operations over the
years," says Bellant. There are probably a variety of reasons why
the ties between LaRouche and various government agencies and
personalities were severed in the mid-1980's. Highly-publicized
incidents such as the air****t battle between LaRouchies and Henry
Kissinger and his wife helped doom the LaRouche network's
relation****p with the Reagan Administration--their profile just
became too visible for a continued relation****p.
Principled conservatives challenged the Reagan Administration to
justify its flirtation with an anti-Semitic group. Intelligence
specialists questioned the wisdom of sharing thoughts with a group
which historically worked both sides of the political fence
separating allies from adversaries. Even Oliver North got into the
act when his fundraisers and security specialists found LaRouche
emissaries were getting underfoot.
LaRouche security expert Jeff Steinberg, who used to meet with
National Security Council staffers at the Old Executive Office
Building in the White House compound, spent much of 1988 in a
Boston courtroom facing criminal charges. However it appears the
criminal investigation which led to the current legal problems faced
by LaRouche and his followers began before the controversy over
his ties to the Reagan Administration had reached key decision-
makers in government agencies. While there is some evidence of
prosecutorial misconduct and civil liberties violations in the course
of some of the federal investigations and prosecutions, the claim by
LaRouche spokespersons that the indictments are part of a
government conspiracy to silence LaRouche appear to be without
foundation.
Political Puzzle?
Russ Bellant's articles on LaRouche have appeared in liberal
Michigan weeklies and progressive publications, while John Rees
tills the right side of the journalistic garden. But both agree
LaRouche's ideology is now neither Marxist nor conservative.
Rees, who for years has written for conservative, anti-communist,
and New-Right publications (including several magazines
published by the John Birch Society), thinks it is unfair ever to
have called LaRouche a conservative simply because he has tried to
woo that political block.
"He is emphatically not a conservative," says Rees, "he is a
totalitarian extremist with a cult of personality to rival Joseph
Stalin's." Rees concedes that LaRouche's politics are distorted and
strange, saying "he is difficult to categorize--in a sense LaRouche is
a remedial Fascist. At least Mussolini could make the trains run on
time. I doubt LaRouche is capable of doing that." Rees claims that
"when LaRouche was rejected by the totalitarian left, he simply
tried the other side of the totalitarian spectrum." According to Rees,
ties between the LaRouche network and several racist and anti-
Semitic groups are well-established. "Former LaRouche organizers
re****t cooperation with elements of the Aryan Nations Network,"
adds Bellant who says the LaRouche network is a "neo-Nazi type
of cult."
Racism and Anti-Jewish Rhetoric
LaRouche has many connections to the racist political right in this
country. Richard Lobenthal, Midwest Regional Director for the
Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith, observes that LaRouche
security advisor Roy Frankhauser "has been identified as present
with other white supremacists at meetings held at the farm of Pastor
Bob Miles in Michigan." Leaders of the notoriously racist and anti-
Semitic Aryan Nations have attended the same meetings.
"Frankhauser's background and connections are myriad, he is
obviously a LaRouchite, he is a professed racist and anti-Semite
and was a close associate of neo-Nazi leader George Lincoln
Rockwell," says Lobenthal.
LaRouche not only works in coalitions with bigots, he has also
propounded ideas which are widely perceived to represent outright
racism.
LaRouche, for instance, offended the Hispanic community in a
November, 1973 essay (published in both English and Spanish)
titled "The Male Impotence of the Puerto-Rican Socialist Party."
An internal memo by LaRouche asked "Can we imagine anything
more viciously sadistic than the Black Ghetto mother?" He
described the majority of the Chinese people as "approximating the
lower animal species" by manifesting a "paranoid personality. . . .a
parallel general form of fundamental distinction from actual human
personalities."
LaRouche's use of hysterical Jewish conspiracy theories for ulterior
political motives has lead him to be branded an anti-Semite by
several major Jewish groups.
One ADL spokesperson, Irwin Suall, was once sued for defamation
by LaRouche for calling him a "small time Hitler." The jury ruled
against LaRouche. According to LaRouche, only a million and a
half Jews perished in the concentration camps, and they died
primarily from overwork, disease, and starvation. This denial of the
Holocaust is coupled with pronouncements saying there is nothing
left of Jewish culture except what couldn't be sold to Gentiles, or
claiming British Jews brought Hitler into power.
While many of the ringleaders of the global conspiracy, according
to the LaRouche philosophy, are Jewish, members of the LaRouche
group rebut charges of anti-Semitism by pointing out that a number
of them--including Janice Hart, former Democratic nominee for the
Illinois Secretary of State--are Jewish. The Anti-Defamation
League of B'nai B'rith, which has successfully beat back several
costly LaRouche lawsuits, rejects this explanation and insists the
group is a paranoid, anti-Semitic political cult.
For his part, LaRouche claims to be merely anti-Zionist, not anti-
Semitic. Jewish groups and political scientists acknowledge the
im****tant distinction, but LaRouche rhetoric--such as leaflets
distributed in California bearing the offensive headline "Smash the
Kosher Nostra!" and naming a number of Jewish figures as part of a
global conspiracy, leaves little doubt.
Since 1976, the NCLC's ties to anti-Semitic, ultra-right groups and
individuals have been well do***ented. LaRouche associates have
cultivated ties to Willis Carto, a notorious racist and anti-Semite
who helped found Liberty Lobby and the pseudo-scholarly Institute
for Historical Review. This latter group publishes "historical
revisionist" literature deriding the Nazi Holocaust as a Jewish hoax.
Former staffers at both the Liberty Lobby and LaRouche's NCLC
claim the two groups cooperated closely on several projects. In the
March 2, 1981 issue of its newspaper , Liberty Lobby
cynically defended the relation****p this way: "It is mystifying why
so many anti-communists and `conservatives' oppose the USLP
[U.S. Labor Party --the NCLC's original electoral arm]. No group
has done so much to confuse, disorient, and disunify the Left as
they have. . .the USLP should be encouraged, as should all similar
breakaway groups from the Left, for this is the only way that the
Left can be weakened and broken."
Linda Ray, the outspoken former member of the LaRouche group,
recently published a first-person account of her experiences in the
Chicago-based national weekly . She recalls that
after leaving the group, someone showed her a LaRouche
organization pamphlet she had once sold on the street. "In it the
Jewish symbol, the Star of David, was used as a centerpiece to
point to six different aspects of the illegal drug trade. In this
context, the Star of David was a symbol of evil." She was shocked
when she realized she had not recognized this while still working
with LaRouche.
"Many people find it difficult to understand how Jews--such as I--
could have worked for an anti-Semitic group. Perhaps the answer is
that the members get so hypnotized by the simplistic `good guys
and bad guys' approach to history that they do not hear what
LaRouche is really saying."
Ray recalls how LaRouche claimed the British were a different
"subhuman species" and how his magazine
concocted the charge that the British created the Nazi
movement."Since the blasts were overtly directed against the
British, Jewish members often did not recognize the subliminal
anti-Semitism of the attacks. LaRouche, like the Ku Klux Klan,
Hitler and Goebbels, was attacking the Rothschilds and other
British-Jewish banking interests. In the wake of these anti-Semitic
writings, many of us were confused. But we continued to defend
LaRouche by lamely saying, `We're not anti-Semitic. So many of
our members are Jews. We always say in our publications that we
are against the Nazis.'
"I remember reading in detail about the `subhuman species' concept.
Although I knew it did not make scientific sense, I presumed that it
was a deep intellectual metaphor that was over my head." When
Ray left the group and finally came to grips with her role as a Jew
working in an anti-Semitic organization, she says "It was as if I was
waking from a nig htmlare."
