The next 8 time Presidential Candidate joke candidate?
I’ve rolled back into the supposed Larouche Wikipedia “Wars”, and caught sight of an item rather emblematic of the nature of the “wars”. Right about here. Leaving aside “Don’t Lose that Number”, the peoples “Marvin Diode” and “MaplePorter” were subsequently banned due to the preponderance of the evidence leading to them being identified as sock puppets for the banned “Herschel Kurstofsky”, which also seems to be the case for the more immediately deleted “NathanDW”. So it is a battle between someone suffering multiple personalities and Dennis King. It is with such that strain the demands for the wikipedia guideline “Assume Good Faith”, a rule that within the compounds of wikipedia editing on topics where a small group have a vested interest in how the item reads, asks you to turn your brain off and give the largest benefit of the doubt that might be applied — witness the exchange between Will Bebank and leatherstocking.  (And, by the way, have you taken the leatherstocking challenge?) Today, leatherstocking and macwhirr hold onto this ship, continuing the tradition of countless tedious people jabbering away in boiler rooms across the country — oddly enough able to produce the out-of-print “Railroaded” book cited by a previous sock puppet. The effect is interesting: notably the LYM article is a joke and the mini-boiler room patrons seek to make it an even bigger joke, and a different sock puppet has taken the opportunity afforded by a momentary absence from the moderator Bebank and the decidedly anti-Larouche King to change the lede for the Larouche article so the lede does not reference Larouche as the commonly held through our culture anti-semitic fringe cult-leader (again: Have you taken the Leatherstocking Challenge?) — never mind its already compromised with the Larouche cultists “wildly diverging viewpoints” statement.
Next I note that one “Ian Overton” is organizing a meeting using this Obama Campaign Internet networking tool as well the Internet netorking tool of “Community Organize”. where Overton will lead a “dialouge with the” quote-in-quote “Institution of the Presidency“, since — as we see here, “We are running the only worthwhile conspiracy that exists.
Everything else is just a process of plunge into Hell.” To unpack the “Institution of the Presidency” would mean to weave back into the conjectures of the Larouche Movement and its combination of imaginings and itchings, not seen by the outside world because we cannot grasp at the square root of two… or else, you know, the need to rationalize the great “miscegenating around” spiel.Â
Who is this Ian Overton? It just so happens that he is a leader of the Anchorage LYM, stating to Lisa Murkowski that “if you are a decent human being, you won’t vote for Hitler” — meaning, Samuel Alito. Residing in California, he leads the Anchorage Larouche Youth Movement. A botched attempt at getting their stamp on at the start of a “grassroots Radical” anchor in Alaska — indymedia spot here. And now he’s in Berkley.  From this one would excused for thinking that the LYM are essentially itenerent preachers, never putting down roots, riding around in a beat up old car from place to place. Around the age of 16, plenty of people read Jack Kerouac — On the Road and the Dharma Bums — and get a hankering for the open road. It tends to die down, but I guess lingers in some people — some people are Euclidian at heart, I suppose.  But this leads to the intriguing question: Is there currently an Anchorage LYM cell, or have they all picked up stakes and moved to California?
Meantime, the lingering question — what after the death? — expressed in blog comments sections whenever someone makes a passing joke reference — may be answered here:
The LYM are told they are to replace the ‘boomers’. Harley and Phil have been saying for some time that after LaRouche dies they will skip the ‘boomers’ and have one of the LYM run for president. Harley Schlanger is grooming Cody Jones but there are a couple of others who are fallbacks.Â
CODY JONES FOR PRESIDENT! Or, you know… Jason Ross… or Rianna St. Classis… Sky Shields? Hell! A person can dream! Ian Overton might just be the dark horse candidate for the role of 8-time joke presidential candidate, stepping into the leagacy shoes of his great hero. But… not so fast:
The idea of telling Cody Jones that he will be the next presidential candidate is an inflated cheap parlor trick. Lyn did that with several National Office NCs and members when he ran in 1976. He began to refer to several people as cabinet choices or appointees in a Larouche Administration. If anyone has New Solidarities from the 1976 campaigns you will see an article by “Bob Dreyfuss, Sec of State nominee” for example.
Ian Overton for Imaginary Illusionary Science Advisor! Or, perhaps sometime in the future, he can ride The Nation Cruise along with Naomi Klein.
This does, however, put into stark relief the dreams of the current membership and the cast who largely wandered off during Larouche’s prison sentence. Dreyfuss never had presidential ambitions — that was reserved for Lyndon. Lyndon gone, Cody Jones can now rise to that level, right? Right? Right? And, as we see, he’s already gotten his foot in the electoral door.— member of the Los Angeles County Democratic Central Committee (I think I lost the article I meant to post). And with a man already concerning himself with the issues that concretely affect everbody’s life.
Finally, before I exit this door, to plunge myself in this Insanity next week, I post, for the record, a link to the words of one Noam Chomsky on his brief thoughts and brief experience on Larouche, complete with the “howiecopywriter” response that Chomsky is in on a Grand Tavistock Institute Conspiracy. Tavistock Institute. Where have I heard that name?
Well, that’s that for this. I’ll plunge myself back into this madness in a week.

CODY JONES: Yes, hello Mr. LaRouche. Well, the question I have, first off, is, one thing we’ve been wrestling with, is the challenge you’ve put out on the economic animations. And in looking at what you’ve called for in terms of what we want to animate, and then looking at this in terms of what we’ve been developing in something like that “Mathematica” program, some of the animations that Bruce [Director] has done for the elliptical functions and the higher transcendentals: How can we, in a sense, the way someone like Leonardo da Vinci took discoveries he had made in light and spherical perspective and then used those, brought those to bear, to communicate these profound ideas in his artistic compositions. We’re trying to think about the artistic question of how can we take these ideas of these animations of elliptical functions, where you see a certain increase in degrees of freedom, kind of transformation from say, a sphere to a torus, and how do we then incorporate that into the kinds of animations we want to use on the economics, that communicate, really what you’ve discovered in physical economy; of the kind of transformations that take place whenever you introduce a newly discovered universal principle into the economic process?

Thanks for that link to the Chomsky responce. I know Chomsky mentions the USLP in one of his lectures, books. But he doesn’t take it any further.
I’ve always been curious about what the extent of his knowledge was concerning LaRouche and USLP.
