No, seriously. Who the hell is John Train?
Okay. I get it.
The “Get Larouche” campaign is all part of the “Get Clinton” campaign.
Avi Klein is connected with… um… the Irish Republicans? Not to be confused with the Irish Republican Army, except I gather, yes, to be confused with the Irish Republican Army.
Also connected with a bunch of names tossed out to and fro. Many of them seem to be cribbed from the Joe Conasan book.
Klein has written a slander piece against Lyndon Larouche to ensure that Hillary Clinton does win the next presidential election, which will be a great victory for Larouche because it will ensue the successful completion of 1998 era monetary policy, which had been derailed when the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy impeached Bill Clinton.
No. Seriously. That’s a lot of names tossed out to and fro. A mixture of the “Vast Right Wing Conspiracy” — or, if you will, the “Get Clinton” campaign of the 1990s — as well the old “Get Larouche” campaign(s) of predominately the 1980s.
Did you notice he’s using the old Hillary Clinton moniker “Vast Right-wing Conspiracy” to describe this “Get Larouche / Get Clinton” effort?
Um. The children are the future. The LYM will outlast Larouche, I tells you, it will! You bet! And they should stay off of myspace, because it is owned by Murdoch. (Say. Do you have anything to say about Ken Kronberg, or for that matter baby-boomers of any and all stripes?)
Then there’s this.
Given this Anglo-Israeli pedigree for Avi Klein’s recent position with Homeland Security Daily Wire, LaRouche associates took seriously a recent e-mail from Klein, which he signed as “Avi Klein, Special Agent, Mossad.” A formal inquiry has been initiated through the Israeli Embassy in Washington, to determine whether Klein’s self-description is accurate, or whether he has possibly violated Federal laws as the result of some psychological aberration. U.S. government officials have confirmed to EIR researchers that all actual Mossad agents operating inside the United States are required to alert the FBI and Justice Department in advance of their arrival.
Okay. Gots that?

Typical LaRouchean schwaermerei. As many of us have previously noted, LaRouche has a strong belief in the magical power of lists and names. THe more names listed, the more damage done to his “enemies.” If LaRouche lists your name, by sympathetic magic you will be in BIG trouble.
And so forth.
Shamanism for the 21st Century.

Give me a break? “A formal inquiry has been initiated through the Israeli Embassy in Washington, to determine whether Klein’s self-description is accurate, or whether he has possibly violated Federal laws as the result of some psychological aberration.” Hmm, let’s see. The head of the Mossad gets this inquiry and says “uh oh, LaRouche is on to us. Now we have to release the names of all our Mossad agents in the U.S.” The CIA gets wind of this, alarmed it says “Let’s release the names of all of our agents. If LaRouche is on to Avi Klein, whose next? We’re all in trouble now.”
Gee, if only Robert Novack had known it was this easy to find out who was a spy….

Isn’t this the most interesting part?
“Mellon Scaife and the other longstanding LaRouche-haters are also terrified of the implications of the growing [sic] LaRouche Youth Movement, which promises a long institutional life for the organization, for many decades after the 84-year old LaRouche’s demise.”
Is this the first time LaRouche’s mortality has been publically mentioned? Could it suggest that he is sicker than previously thought? He is known to suffer from serious heart problems (both metaphorically and literally.)

Subconciously I did find that sentence the most interesting part, and conciously that paragraph the most interesting part. I was thinking in terms of him amping up his “End Game”. The other part of it is he did not mention the baby-boomer problem, nor Ken Kronberg — iwhich in tandem with the analysis of that memo suggests: he’s writing off the damage for that group, and his focus is solely on the LYM.
Whether he has new health concerns or not, I will only say he is 84 years old and is concious of trying to build his afterlife here on Earth. Won’t succeed — he will fade fade fade away into a footnote of a footnote– but it is what he is conciously trying to do in his last phase of life. He needs to acknowledge his mortality for the LYM to get a grip on handling the next phase of LYM activity, as he perceived it, sooner or later.

And isn’t it a strange use of of language, “the 84-year old LaRouche’s demise”?

I’ll bet this was written by Jeff Steinberg. “Demise” has a Jeffian ring to it. And it’s certainly what Jeff is fixated on–LaRouche’s demise. Since, as we have previously discussed, Jeff is trying to put together the post-LaRouche org. (And, of course, run it.)
For public consumption the LaRouche org will certainly NOT mention the Kronberg problem, or the Baby Boomer problem in the ways in which it’s discussed internally. They will attack Avi Klein for a mysterious, unseen, yet slanderous article without saying what the subject is–for them, any article that touches on Kronberg is by definition slanderous.
But what they want to do is analogize LaRouche’s present situation (which isn’t the greatest) to that of the Clintons during the impeachment process. This is part of LaRouche’s constantly clinging to Clinton’s pants leg–“Take me with you! Please”–which started with the “exoneration campaign” and the fantasy that “Clinton let me out of prison,” rather than the Parole Board.
And it dovetails with LaRouche’s current apparent support for Hillary (whom he reviled for years in private).
So the Mellon Scaife angle, etc. are all deployed to make it appear that LaRouche is the target of the same “vast rightwing conspiracy” charged by Hillary in the ’90s.
Why? To make LaRouche seem important.
But yes, the “demise” part is fascinating. It’s a subconscious death wish on the part of the author, and that’s why I’m betting it’s Steinberg.
P.S. I haven’t heard of any huge health concerns of LaRouche’s. I’m not even sure he has a heart condition. I have heard it said that his supposed heart issues and recuperation in Europe were the public story put out to cover for an extended period of “drying out.”
