Treason in America by Antoine Chaitkin

[Linda Minor]

Thanks for this Linda. I think I am beginning to solve my riddle, which seems to me to be the dual use LL and EIR play with the word Synarchy. ...

The Wiki entry on LL has some intriguing pointers about the man's make-up:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyndon_LaRo....80.931947

I note that by age of 13 he had rejected Bacon and others but had adopted Liebniz. The mind boggles. Later, a favourite was Nicolas de Cuza (also amongst others).

The overall picture is of a highly complex character -- and one that comes with its own confusing layers of confusion it seems to me.

The group of people I became acquainted with in Houston are included in the list shown at: http://sthweb.bu.edu/index.php?option=co...Itemid=357

They were ideologues who were so immersed in their own world of history and ideas that they became totally unaware of how they sounded to normal people. I would read all their available literature (the weekly New Federalist news rag and somewhat more professional EIR and Fidelio magazines, and for a time subscribed to the taped news briefings they mailed out on tape). I would also attend their meetings from time to time, but it became apparent the purpose was to indoctrinate the uninformed prospective members of that week's party line and not to think or question the reasoning involved in arriving at the briefing points. That probably helps explain how most democratic institutional ideals either dissolve into anarchy or totalitarianism; people who ask questions of the authoritarian framework become a threat to the financial infrastructure that has developed over time. They cannot pay for the albeit-subsistence level of their dedicated followers when they depart from the need to raise funds in an attempt to educate every person who would question the briefing points.

But the group was not, as it has often been called, a cult; nor was it in any way racist or anti-Semitic, as it has been labeled by liberals who have adapted to the politically correct language required by today's society. For example, they often used shorthand terms such as "house nigger" or "court Jew," which they used in historical terms that were often misinterpreted. A "house nigger" would be a black person like Uncle Tom in Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel, who took care of the white massah and the chillens while ignoring what was best for his own black family. The "court Jew" in LaRouche literature was epitomized by Henry Kissinger, who had come up in the ranks of Harvard and the Rockefeller Foundation. The term originated from the days when Jews were banned in England because they were looking after the interest of Venetian oligarchs to whom the Crown was in debt.

LaRouche disciples, when I was learning what I could from them more than a decade ago, were steeped in the history of Venice versus Florence and the Florentine ideal of "man made in the image of God," which developed as a result of the Renaissance promoted financially by Nicholas of Cusa. LaRouche and his group, even when in desperate need of money to support their cause, always spoke in favor of that idea which came out of the Renaissance--that mankind is all-important on the earth and can achieve anything; that every individual is sacred and deserves to be educated. They spoke of universal brotherhood, which is antithetical to financial oligarchy and rule by financial elites.

The only real difference I had with them, in retrospect, was that I placed a different value on what they offered than they did. I was unwilling to fork over as much money as they begged for almost daily. As I told them, I'm willing to pay for information, but not make donations. That was where we parted ways.
