Do you know who Lyndon LaRouche is?
Lyndon Hermyle LaRouche, Jr. (born September 8, 1922) is a controversial American dissident, political activist and founder of the LaRouche movement. He has written on economic, scientific, and political topics, as well as on history, philosophy, and psychoanalysis. LaRouche was a presidential candidate eight times between 1976 to 2004, running once for his own U.S. Labor Party and campaigning seven times for the Democratic Party nomination.
LaRouche established contacts with Willis Carto's Liberty Lobby and elements of the Ku Klux Klan in 1974. Frank Donner and Randall Rothenberg wrote that he made successful overtures to the Liberty Lobby and George Wallace's American Independent Party, adding that the "racist" policies of LaRouche's U.S. Labor Party endeared it to members of the Ku Klux Klan. George Michael, in Willis Carto and the American Far Right, says that LaRouche shared with the Liberty Lobby's Willis Carto an antipathy towards the Rockefeller family. The Liberty Lobby defended its alliance with LaRouche by saying the U.S. Labor Party had been able to "confuse, disorient, and disunify the Left". [Wikipedia]
Well, when it comes to voting it seems Thomas Massie is one of only two Congressmen to vote the Lyndon LaRouche agenda.
On Tuesday evening, a corrupt U.S. Congress, with no concern for anything but its re-election, voted by a margin of 383 to 2 (with 50 not voting), to endorse a resolution supporting the fascist opposition in Ukraine, and therefore a nuclear war confrontation with Russia. LaRouchePAC representatives on the scene confronted particularly the Jewish members, and found them and others either ignorant, or totally craven. The two 'no' votes were by Reps. Walter Jones (R-NC) and Thomas Massie (R-KY) [LaRouchePAC]
Now let me try to be the voice of reason here. Could Lyndon LaRouche be exaggerating the dire consequences of this vote? Of course.
But considering that only two people toed the LaRouche line, one being Thomas Massie, is it possible the mask is coming off?
After all, Lyndon LaRouche is certainly NOT the kind of conservative the Kentucky Republican Party has historically supported. But obviously Thomas Massie is one of only two reliable votes in Congress who supports the LaRouche view of the world.
If so, has Thomas Massie gone completely off the rails? Or did he start out as a truly fringe nut job and only now, after he feels safe in his position, is he emboldened to push the envelope into LaRouche land?
You can't say I didn't try to warn you.
