LaRouche Claims Obama Stealing Election, Hillary Fans Swoon

Ever since the invention of writing, man has asked "Who wrote this crap?" Usually, the answer is a conservative wrote that crap. And then there is the Lyndon LaRouche crowd, who can dish teh crazy like nobody else.

The LaRouchies can always put their own quirky spin on any current event, and Obama's rise has not escaped their attention (nothing gets past them). And they interpret it the same way they explain everything else: It's a conspiracy man!

In a nutshell (no pun intended) - British bankers helped the Obama campaign steal North Carolina and Indiana

The Democratic Party leadership, fully infiltrated by agents of the very same Anglo-Dutch financial establishment

because...

Clinton's continual pledge to represent the lower 80% of the U.S. population, and the unspoken fear that some of her policies seem to lean too far in the direction of the proposals put forward by Lyndon LaRouche

Whaaaa?

Of course, this is welcome news for the folks at hillaryis44.com, where they are grasping at straws.

Of course all this makes perfect sense to the folks at Hillaryis44.com. It explains everything!

CARBTNEW,
I am posting excerpts from that link coz it is stunning.
EVERYONE should read the entire article.

www.larouchepub.com/other/2008/3520threat_to_clinton.html

To disenfranchise some 2 million Florida Democratic voters who came out to participate in the electoral process in good faith, is not only unfair, it is illegal.

Blue Democrat Says:
May 10th, 2008 at 10:35 pm

Christ, have you guys seen this Larouche stuff?!

MJ!!!!?

Ultimately, contrary to press reports that secret Republicans in both Indiana and North Carolina were casting ballots for Hillary Clinton, when the votes were tallied in North Carolina, Republicans who voted in the Democratic primary supported Obama by a startling 13-to-1.*****

Anyway, there you have it folks, the Democratic primaries are being thrown by a cabal of Dutch bankers who are afraid that Hillary will enact LaRouche policies.

  Met a girl called Lola and I took her back to my place
  Feelin' guilty, feelin' scared, hidden cameras everywhere
  Stop! Hold on. Stay in control

  Girl, I want you here with me
  But I'm really not as cool as I'd like to be
  'Cause there's a red, under my bed
  And there's a little yellow man in my head
  And there's a true blue inside of me

  Well I fell asleep, then I woke feelin' kinda' queer

  She said, "man, there's really something wrong with you.
  One day you're gonna' self-destruct.
  You're up, you're down, I can't work you out
  You get a good thing goin' then you blow yourself out."

  Silly boy ya' self-destroyer. Silly boy ya' self-destroyer

  fools are threatened by Obama.  Larouche's whole "movement" is based upon capturing people who understand that something is wrong in this country, but are credulous enough to think that hustlers like Larouche have answers.  See, unlike Larouche, Obama doesn't just talk about bs; he's about real issues and real solutions, even incremental ones as Obama seeks to build a consensus.

  Larouche is one of many morons who will become unsettled by Obama's presidency.  And good riddance to them.

      for whom nothing is or ever can be random. Nothing ever just happens, and there's a reason for everything.

      That's basically the LaRouchites. Because, if you think through this specific example, really, what better explanation for the Obama phenomenon could anyone think of but British bankers?

      BTW, as I've now pointed out in several recent crackpot diaries, the real agent of Britannic influence is Episcopalian John McCain; he owes his ultimate allegiance to the Archbishop of Canterbury, an appointee of the British government.

      I so hope LaRouche runs with that :-)

      by MBNYC on Sun May 11, 2008 at 04:32:33 PM PDT

      •  I resent that.

        I'm still officially an Episcopalian, and most of them are really great loving, open-minded people.

        Besides all which, the Anglican communion, of which the Archbishop of C is head, is a sister to the Episcopal church of America. Episcopalians are not under the archbishop's thumb, they have their own Presiding Bishop.

          It's obviously a ludicrous assertion on a par with that of LaRouche, which is why I made it. Maybe I should label that more clearly :-)

      •  LaRouchies just don't understand entropy.

        They need to read "The Crying of Lot 49" by Thomas Pynchon. There are limits to the benefits of order. After a certain point, you can't process all the connections you are making.

    What he is basing this claim on is (I believe) the Opium Wars fought between the British Empire and Imperial China from about 1830 to 1860.  This was to secure the right of British merchants to sell opium in China.

    •  Dweebs, but also liars, look at this

      http://politics.nytimes.com/...

      Note the counties Barack won in California state. About 17? And they're all the heavily populated areas along the coast. The ones that sort of "define" California. Like Humboldt, Mendocino, San Francisco, Santa Cruz, Santa Barbara, etc...

      So Cal leans Republican, as does the sparsely populated mountainous region inland.

      Yet Hillaryis44 claims all manner of things about my state:

      carbynew Says:

      Oblameless won only 8 counties in 58 and none from Central thru SoCal.

      They also call CA a "swing state," claim San Luis County (I've never heard of it and presume it's down South) is "the most liberal county in California."

      You have to give them serious props for being uneducated and/or delusional.

      by mahakali overdrive on Sun May 11, 2008 at 04:45:34 PM PDT

      •  I'd also like to mention, in light of that link

        It's true... Obama did poorly in the very sparsely populated regions of South California, like Death Valley, the Mojave Desert, the infinite wasteland of San Bernardino, and right on up into the retirement community of Yosemite.

        In short, he didn't win in the desert or the mountains. Nor did he win in the very important Republican-leaning areas of Fresno or San Diego.

        Come on!

        Anyone who lives in California knows what we're looking at!

        by mahakali overdrive on Sun May 11, 2008 at 04:51:52 PM PDT

      •  Did they mean San Luis Obispo County?

        Cuz that's the only one with a name that's close, and I seriously doubt it would be considered "the most liberal" county in CA.

        by bythesea on Sun May 11, 2008 at 05:49:31 PM PDT

        •  Just double checked on Wikipedia

          Apparently the county hasn't voted for a Dem for POTUS since 1964 and leans GOP generally.  Most liberal county in CA indeed.

          by bythesea on Sun May 11, 2008 at 05:52:26 PM PDT

      •  San Luis Obispo County

        Never heard anyone say that this county is liberal. Although it is on the coast, it is rural, it has demographics and votes similar to the inland counties. It's part of Central California and calling it Southern California may offend the people there.  http://en.wikipedia.org/...
        That is like saying Fresno is liberal, they are seriously delusional.

  The number of Republicans who voted for Obama in NC was 0. They would have had to register as Dems to vote in that primary, making them "Democrats", if only in name. In any case, their ballots wouldn't have been marked differently in a way that such a phenomenon would traceable.

I'm proud to say that England could not defeat our little country (like they could not defeat the American States). For quite a while the little country by the sea called Nederland ruled the waves.
  Apparantly nowadays, together with our British friends, we rule the financial markets. It makes it possible for us to win the democratic primary in North Carolina. Isn't that great! You Americans think you can rule the world, but in reality you are ruled by a few Dutch bankers. Rest asured: we will give you the president you deserve.

•  LaRouche hides behind crazy

  but his organization has been said, by intelligence professionals, to be the most sophisticated private intelligence agency in the world.  

  That doesn't mean he's right or that he doesn't make crap up, but there is more going on there than "crazy".  In fact, it's Jeff Steinberg who is pretty much running the show these days anyway.

  Larouchites also infiltrate all kinds of online discussion forums, sometimes spouting the Larouche line overtly and other times soft-peddling it.  

  They are also part of a global fascist network, many of the organizations and individuals of which put themselves forward as "progressives".  Think Wayne Madsen or Webster Tarpley.

  The circles they run in don't mean much here, but in places like Russia there is real momentum by parties with similar beliefs.

•  I'm REALLY tempted to send this to Mikulski

  A number of years ago, I was working a polling place for a slate of sitting judges when there was a LaRouchie candidate running against Barbara Mikulski in the Democratic Senate primary.  They had some total lunatic (yeah, I realize that's a redundancy when talking about LaRouchies) working the polling place for her.

  This idiot was randomly approaching people as they left the polling place and asking them if they'd voted for the LaRouchie candidate.  Of course, a significant number of them said "yes" just to get the guy out of their face.  At the end of the day, not surprisingly, he'd recorded a lot more people who said they'd voted for the LaRouchie candidate than had actually been recorded as voting for him.  They cited this as "proof" that Barbara Mikulski had stolen the nomination.  I wonder how our senior Senator feels backing the LaRouche-backed candidate when similar claims are being made about the election being "stolen" from Hillary.

  In North Carolina, 14% of all voters in the Democratic primary said they would vote for McCain in the event of a general election between Clinton and McCain.  So were these Obama supporters angered at Hillary's campaign tactics?  Not hardly.  Clinton actually WON this group by a margin of 48%-44%.  That means that 6.7% of all voters in the Democratic primary, and roughly 16% of all voters who voted for her, voted for Hillary, even though they plan to vote for McCain if she's the nominee.  Something tells me these folks aren't real strong Democrats.  (By contrast, only 1.8% of the voters in the Democratic primary were people who voted for Obama but said they'd vote for McCain if Obama's the nominee.)

  Only 5% of the voters in the Democratic primary self-identified as Republicans, and of those, Hillary carried them by a margin of 61%-32%.  All figures are from the CNN exit poll:  http://www.cnn.com/...

•  LaRouche = nutbag

  Wait.......he's not even sane enough to be a nutbag.

  Reason enough that his candidacies never even get off the ground.  Ever talked to his supporters?  They're off their nut too.

  •  I think I've encountered

    just about every type of person I can imagine, and yet I've never run into a LaRouchie.  Where do all of you run into them?

•  well, it worked.

  they say something inanely crazy, and some diarist on a blog picks it up, and now I'm wasting my time reading about it.

  Mission accomplished for Lyndon.

•  It wouldn't be a presidential election...

  •  Maybe LaRouche Will Offer Obama The VP Slot

    This could really put Obama over the top

•  I attended a Larouche meeting...

  ...a while back. I knew a very smart person who was caught up. It seemed okay at the time, I know international bankers "rule the world" or some bs. Half of it true, half of it paranoia, all of it propogates a beliefthat we can't do anything about our situation.  LaRouche needs to sit back and let a majority of the worlds children get a much needed role model, puppet with strings or not.  What he thinks that Obama believes in is obviously not what he is espousing, nor is it what his supporters are responding to.  So to see this outpouring of kindness and try and derail it is short-sighted to say the least.

  PS, if LaRouche was so well connected (and he was), why does he need to prey on young kids to help with his essentially fruitless activities?

•  The LaRouche/Paul connection

  This is the first presidential election in about 30 years that LaRouche is not running. It is well known (and obviously true) that a large part of his campaign apparatus shifted over to Ron Paul, with all the same nut-job conspiratorial accusations about the British-Dutch (read: Jewish) bankers.

  It's not as wacko as it sounds. Actually it's just very old antisemitic propaganda. Much of it can be found in the old hoax "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" which Ron Paul recruits are assigned to read. The rest comes from Henry Ford's "The International Jew" which can be found online.

  The shrewdness behind the tactic is to activate old populist American anti-semitic and anti-intellectual archetypes. (See Richard Hofstadter's Anti-Intellectualism in American Life.) Nothing random or "psycho" about it -- all very carefully engineered, and exactly why Hillary does so extremely well in Appalachia. It's not actually racism, it's generations of anti-semitic conspiracy theory built into the backwoods evangelical movement.

  You'll see accusations that Obama is a Freemason, or tied to the Bilderbergers or Rothschilds, or crap about his education at Harvard and Columbia, all carefully assembled by these people. Whether they use the LaRouche or Paul or Clinton apparatus has been tactical -- I know of operatives who just switch back and forth as convenience suits.
