“America on Verge of War with British Empire”; The Economist; 3/4/2010.
Comment: Although the “Economist’s” droll treatment of this accentuates the absurdity of LaRouche’s ideology, his organization is not funny and the inroads it is making in the increasingly ignorant, self-destructive, so-called “progressive” sector is not funny either.
KESHA ROGERS has just won the Democratic primary in Texas’s 22nd congressional district. Ms Rogers is a...colleague? Admirer? Follower?...of what her website calls “the world’s leading economic forecaster”, Lyndon LaRouche. I first encountered Mr Larouche’s economic forecasts back during the Reagan-Mondale campaign, when he ran an extraordinary long-format television commercial warning that America was about to run out of meat. What’s really amazing about this guy is that his organisation is still around. You’d think anyone given to such oddly non-compelling apocalyptic visions wouldn’t have a chance against the big players, but apparently he’s still out there brainwashing away, so you’ve got to give him credit for a certain amount of talent and dedication. . . .
