From here,
a Scott sayseth this:
So to all of you out there who are active, and who know
who LaRouche is, I would like to say we have a problem. The problem is that
Lyndon, that dirty old man, is up to his dirty old tricks again, and I don't
mean spinning ever wilder conspiracy theories, or even stealing a few bucks
from the local widow (though he's doing that too)--no I mean brainwashing kids.
I fell for their rhetoric for a short time, and since I left have been writing
about what I saw there. The following is part of a letter I wrote to a
professor who asked me what her students could expect if they joined the
"movement" (read: cult).
Do not focus on the "politics" of his
organization. For all intents and purposes the political side of the
organization is just a sham--it really is more of a religion than a political
movement anyway--the mantra really is give me your life and I'll give you salvation.
Your students will be having the same methods of coercion used on them at the
table that is used on members in closed rooms, on your campus on their lunch
breaks, LaRouchies will be out there preaching: "The end is near, join the
Leader and be like him, and that will save the world." And they will tell
them to drop out of college to join, they will literally be brought into group
meetings where every person in the room is pressuring them to drop out. You
know when they have classes? Usually what happens is maybe one or two people
will be from a local campus, usually someone they met that day. That person
will walk into a room of twenty or so people, not really knowing that almost
everyone there is already a member. As soon as someone comes to more than 1 or
2 meetings, they are psychologically profiled by the Regional leader and then
the leader will talk to everyone about that person.
Example: "Frank has mommy issues, everybody needs to tell him he needs to
stop sucking off his mother's milk." So then as Frank hangs around more
and he is brought in for conferences and meetings, everyone is nice to him, but
they in their own way, will make comments about Frank being a Mama's boy. This
may be true, or it may be that Frank just has a very close relationship with
his mom, he's 18, and still just a kid. So this "campaign" makes
Frank begin to question himself, it undermines his confidence in his beliefs
and values, while all around him there are people constantly restating the
normal line of LaRouche politics; nothing is what it seems, the world is
ending, drop out of school, join me.. yada yada. And there may be ten of these
directives given by the regional leader. All designed to make the person,
basically, have a nervous breakdown in a controlled environment. They will
attack his hobbies, his friends, his values, his family, and his personality
traits in these secret "campaigns", and Fred will think that people
he has hardly talked to think he's a mama's boy(or whatever they're attacking
that week)--his insecurity will soar.
Then what happens if that person decides to drop out and join full time is the
real work on their mind begins. The same type of thing goes on, but then added
in is a host of other tactics--the working for 12-14 hours a day will soften
him up quite a bit, and the leader will keep a very close eye in the very early
stages. After a few days of work the leader might lean in and say "hey you
guys should all do something tonight, take Frank over to so-n-so's house and
read poetry. Frank will be up until 3 am, get up a few hours later and go back
to arguing at a card table shrine for LaRouche with everyone who walks by, all
this time reinforcing what he has "learned" by taking the position
for 12 hours a day. Frank will be plied with LaRouche books to read from every
side. Then something will come up that Frank has a problem with. He's
organizing at a table one day and his partner, someone who's been around for
years, breaks someone down in the street who begins crying. Fred thinks it was
cruel, so he goes to talk to the regional leader(the boss at each office). Now,
all this time the leader has played "good cop".
"Umm, Steve?" says Frank, "I saw Alex make someone cry at the
college today, he was yelling at this kid about how he can't understand LaRouche
because he's a homosexual, and when the kid said no, Alex just kept poking him
with it until the kid broke down and started crying."
From out of nowhere the bad cop shows up.
"So do you need to go suck off your mother's tit some more is that what this
is about Frank? Alex has been off his momma's tit for ten years now and he's
mastered Riemann's geometry, have you?"
"Uhhh..no."
"So the mama's boy who's never done anything in his life is going to come
here and say 'Alex made some homosexual kid cry and I want my mommy'...are you
homosexual Frank? Is that it? Is that why you haven't been able to raise any
money out there? You're too busy thinking about Mommy's tits and Daddy's dick
to be a potent organizer?"
And this may go on for a half an hour. Mind you that Frank has just moved in to
an apartment with 4 other LaRouchies, he has just dropped out of school, and
probably alienated most of his friends, and his parents, who all argued against
him joining the LaRouche Youth Cult (LYC). The leader will use every bit of
personal information he has gathered about Frank in order for him to have a
real breakdown. Frank, who now has nowhere to go, but has made a few
"friends' in the LYC, finally gives in. He sees that Alex was right for
breaking down that kid, because that kid is evil, and Frank realizes that he is
too. Frank realizes that he hasn't worked hard enough for humanity to criticize
Alex, and so he confesses to Steve.
"I'm sorry Steve, you're right, I've been dependant on my mom forever, and
she was turning me in to some crazy brainwashed consumer, I mean geez, she was
sending me to college to learn about computers, like LaRouche says that's not
even real. I guess she's just like every other boomer."
After he does so he feels a little better and stops crying, and his pulse slows
down.
Steve says, "Well good. What I think you need to do is read Lyn's book
"The Reason Why Everyone in the World is Insane But Me", and you
should get Alex to help you on some geometry. Are you still into
painting?"
"Yes, Sir, I like to paint at night sometimes still, it eases my
mind."
"You should focus on something else...try reading Lyn' s book
"They're All Out to Get Me, I Swear". Ok well, good talking to
you."
And Frank walks out feeling a little closer to Steve,
and Steve has shown Frank that he is able to instill terror in him at any
moment. This makes Frank unconsciously more pliant, he won't raise another question
like that for a month. But he will raise a question. And now Frank hasn't had a
good night's sleep in 5 weeks, and he is becoming slightly malnourished as his
pay has dropped from 300 a week to 100 a week because of a "mass leaflet
mobilization" [and Lyn is going to travel Europe for a while, and he needs
the nice table at the restaurant]. The pay will continue to decrease.
Frank tells Steve he has to ask him about something again. Steve tells him to
come to his office at 5. At 5 Frank walks in, and a Security Squad member is in
the office also, the S.S. member stands in front of the door, and this time the
yelling is more severe, and the psychological profile, having been honed,
allows the leader to play Frank like a piano. Frank is a blubbering mess in
twenty minutes. Frank's brain which has initiated fight or flight, tells him to
get up and walk out. He tries to do so, and the SS member begins working on him
(verbally)while blocking the door, the two of them work on him until he sits
back down, and takes his medicine.
It's called "Beyond Psychoanalysis" a method devised by Lyndon LaRouche
in the late seventies in a series of papers (and subsequently taught to members
after they are in for 6 months or so and have gone through the process--at
least Scientologists are upfront about their psychobabble!)
Recently a young man, Jeremiah Duggan, committed suicide while at a LaRouche
conference, the clues to this case are found in the words of Lyndon himself:
From Beyond Psychoanalysis:
"The program [Beyond Psyche]is safely undertaken in the NCLC, where it
could not be so with laymen, since the LCer has a self-conscious identity in
the world, which the ordinary laymen lacks. Under some unfortunate
circumstances, this experience, absolutely the most terrifying the human mind
can know, can prompt suicides, or provide the impetus for psychotic
collapse"
Well I guess NCLC (National Committee of Labor Caucuses)
needs to be updated to ICLC (International CLC)--Jeremiah safely undertook his
Beyond Psychoanalysis in Germany.
I ask you all not to treat LHL as just a kook, he's a dangerous kook, and our
society, as free as it should remain has given this monster far too much rope
(or maybe not enough).
