Crazy Larouche Youtube

Lyndon Larouche has apparently died (Queen Elizabeth II got to him) at 96. Not many people are mourning him as he was a lunatic who led a genuinely dangerous cult.

Lyndon LaRouche was a cult leader. Make no mistake about that. I'll never forget the day some of his trained acolytes took over my @UVA classroom, screaming at, and threatening, 350 students in Politics 101 in spring semester 1991. They escaped just before police arrived.

Anieli has a great rundown on this, so I’m not going to repeat it but just for fun, here are some videos from the Youtube account of his organization. They range from being just stupid to being outright deranged.

This one’s just a lot of gibberish

My personal favorite is his obsession with a 1960s project called NAWAPA which would’ve used a series of dams to create a giant reservoir in Northern Canada to supply water to the Southwest and Northern Mexico. And of course, the reason we never did it is because it’s ridiculously stupid, expensive, and would do catastrophic environmental damage the bankers and environmentalists have kept it from us. More than that, you can see the derangement, this isn’t about getting water, it’s about mankind conquering nature.

He also wanted to do the same thing in Africa. And he claims of course that these water projects are being blocked by the British. 

And on to the Middle East where the Israeli-Palestinian standoff will be solved by *checks notes* nuclear powered desalination plants.

And of course there’s plenty of conspiracy nonsense.
