The Dirty Side of the U.S. Department of Justice: The LaRouche Case

On August 31, 1995, a panel including famous civil rights attorney J.L. Chestnut, former House Judiciary Committee member Rep. James Mann, as well as other elected officials and human rights activists convened two-day hearings outside of Washington, D.C. to investigate U.S. Department of Justice misconduct. The hearings spotlighted several cases of the DOJ's notorious targeting of African-American elected officials (known in FBI parlance as 'Operation Fruemenschen'), the LaRouche case, and others. This week's LaRouche Show video is an excerpt from those hearings featuring the LaRouche case, and includes testimony from former U.S. Attorney Ramsey Clark, Atty. Odin Anderson, Helga Zepp-LaRouche, and Lyndon LaRouche himself.

In a recent online dialogue with Helga Zepp-LaRouche, journalist and talk show host/podcaster Garland Nixon offered an important insight regarding the breakout of LaRouche's ideas and the movement he created under the current political conditions:

"..I think one of the things that has happened over the past is the imperial power had to ostracize, attack, isolate your organization, because you were one of the few organizations that were wise to exactly who they were ...'this is who the British Empire is, and this is what they do.' And as the British Empire starts to come to grips to exactly the reality they’re dealing with now, I think the necessity for going after your organization will recede, and I think your organization will be able to flourish and do some of the really good work that you’re doing more in the open, and not be as pushed into the shadows as you have been."

Nixon's reference to the "ostracize, attack, and isolate" methods used against Lyndon LaRouche and his collaborators are a large part of the reason that many viable solutions to life and death issues over the past decades have been written off simply because they were associated with Lyndon LaRouche. You may have heard something like: "Great idea, but, AAAARGH, that's LaRouche!" If you, like many others, have encountered such hysterical LaRouche Derangement Syndrome outbursts, this week's LaRouche show will provide you with some useful ammunition to counter the calumny and finally allow LaRouche's proposals (like his Oasis Plan for the Middle East, for example) to now flourish.
