I have received a number of emails…
I may as well post an email or two from out of my bloggings to this category. This came to me in January of 2005, sometime before I became apt to jib and jab through 40 years of Larouche’s stupid career… and before media outlets started feeling me out for help on this topic. (And by media outlets I mean two of them.)
I just found your blog via justiceforjeremiah and was reading Scott's statement about LaRouche.
The reason I was interested is that I frequent a martial arts forum online. We've recently gained a member who is one of their political flacks, claiming a 5 year association with them. He's interested in martial arts because, and I'm paraphrasing, "people get irrational when you discuss politics with them".
Which is all a little discomforting.
I believe he's trying to recruit members. From what I'm reading at your blog, you seem to have a lot of experience dealing with them.
Any tips?
I honestly didn’t know how to move through this, and as I pointed out my blog actually covered about 80 percent of all my experiences with Larouchites — which amounted to, in real world excursions, very little. I know more than I did then and it occupies a greater part of my conciousness than it did then– I actually, for the first time ever, had a dream that involved Larouche the other night — it was the type of dream that I occasionally have which I wonder if others have so complete and fluid in its narrative structure that I wish there was a device that I could just download it onto the written page and ship it off to a publisher– which is a signal that I am no longer as completely ajar from this topic as I once was. I now have a better background of references to historical precedents of just what it means for a Larouchite to be seeking out martial arts training because of irreconciable political differences with those he meets. At the time it seemed in keeping with a strident brainwashed militancy. Today, I can reference training in Leesburg or early NCLC and bloodies knuckles and machettes at Communist meetings, in prepation for Epic Street Battles.
Oh jeezuz. I should prepare something like “Part 2” for “How to dissolve a Cult.”
