		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;As you may recall, the economy was supposed to have collapsed as of two weeks ago today. Right now, you should not be able to afford a loaf of bread with a wheelbarrow full of $1000 bills.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Are you sure this is an example of an incorrect prediction, rather than yet another example of disaster averted due to the timely warnings of LaRouche?

Who can forget that in 1976, a conspiracy involving the Clamshell Alliance and Noam Chomsky was on the verge of nuking Philadelphia during bicentennial celebrations until LaRouche blew the whistle on it?</description>

		<description>A &quot;shame&quot;? &quot;Hounded&quot;? What a strange thing to say.

He&#039;ll never suffer enough in the time he has left.</description>

		<description>In 1972 the certifiable crazy crank candidate &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.thenation.com/doc/19720724/sherrill/2&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Dean Templeton&lt;/a&gt; proposed a bridge from Alaska to Russia. LaRouche picked it up. Templeton was later apparently murdered in circumstances unknown to me. His story is told in the very eccentric, rare book &quot;From Asininity to Assassination&quot;.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt; The building of the multimodal Bering Strait Tunnel-Rail link between Russia and the United States—a project long championed by American statesman Lyndon LaRouche&lt;/i&gt;

Setting the stage for the US to attack Kamchatka with multiple armies. A good example of foresight in applying &lt;a href=&quot;http://crookedtimber.org/2007/10/30/hitler-hitler-hitler/#comment-215755&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&quot;game theory&quot;&lt;/a&gt; to real-life international politics. 

You go Lyndon! The &lt;i&gt;Anglo-Dutch Liberal outgrowth of Paolo Sarpi&#039;s Venetian financier-oligarchy&lt;/i&gt; must not prevail! Death to Boomers!</description>

		<description>LaRouche also overemphasized public life and objectivity at the expense of subjectivity, an analytical philosopher (as it were) whose work contrasts with Elron Hubbard&#039;s more &quot;continental&quot; approach. Thus, the supposed liberation attained by Leibnizian, anti-Aristotilian deprogramming, while valuable and revolutionary, really is only a half measure, amounting to the supplanting of the original thetan parasites with a somewhat less crippling thetan.</description>

		<description>That&#039;s where LaRouche went wrong, of course. He saw so much, but he did not realize the degree to which even the great Leibniz had been drawn into Grotius&#039; Achaemenid web. LaRouche&#039;s contribution was enormous, as was Leibniz&#039;s, but the time has come for us to move on.</description>

		<description>People always forget to mention the leading Dutch role in the empire, and the &quot;free-trade&quot; empires&#039; ideological foundations in Grotius&#039; neo-Achaemenid  Arminian dogma.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Some ex-members think his recent proclamations are touched with senility, as opposed to the more cogent expressions of bizarre thought they were accustomed to hearing back in the old days.&lt;/i&gt;

I don&#039;t know, this segment from his recent webcast - &quot;Save the American Republic From the British Empire!&quot; - is a veritable reverse St. Crispin&#039;s Day speech (timely too).

&lt;blockquote&gt;If we decide that we&#039;re going to defend the U.S. economy, in particular, against what is now an immediate and virtually inevitable collapse, disintegration of our economy, of our republic—if we decide to do that, and use the methods I indicated, that can change the world. It will break the power of the British Empire: the empire which gave us 9/11.&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

		<description>There are factions within the group in conflict with each other but trying to hold things together until the old man dies. One is headed by his wife, who is German and may be in touch with the group of European members who walked out (with quite a lot of money it seems) a few months ago. The other is led by a longtime American supporter who was recruited out of SDS, way back when.

It sounds like LaRouche is knocking some heads together right now -- a couple of top staff people are being criticized, a process which can get really ugly. For a while there, the &quot;youth movement&quot; could do no wrong, but now the guy who was in charge of it is being denounced for not understanding LaRouche&#039;s astrophysics or some such thing. (You can&#039;t make this stuff up.) What that probably means in sublunar terms is that the happy days of singing German art songs and contemplating Keplerian mathematics are over, and how the kids better start bringing in some serious money or else.

In short, the following will probably fracture pretty quickly once LaRouche is gone. None of the contenders for the throne has his...uh, &quot;charisma&quot;? &quot;Fuhrerprinzip&quot;? On the other hand, the whole point of the special advanced classes for LaRouche Youth over the past couple of years has been to train them to be geniuses just like him. So who knows. A new generation of strangeness may yet be spawned.</description>
