Dear A-list, I met Bill Engdahl around 1980 at LaRouche's EIR offices in New York, when I was trying to find out what they were all about. (Truth-in-advertising: I later went around the United States testifying before grand juries to convict LaRouche and his leading financial fraudsters. He paid Mordedai Levy money to hurt me and Ramsey Clark, which was one reason he was sent up -- to the prison where my father was sent as one of the Minneapolis 17 in 1941. LaRouche had a hero-worship of my father and an obsession with my own background and writings, which is why I looked into just who he was.) At that time Engdahl was a "regular" member, and remained so for nearly two decades. A few years ago he called me and told me he had left. (Many of LaRouche's followers have come to me when they left.) He expressed his growing disgust with LaRouche for the latter's refusal to countenance any ideas not his own or that did not serve his clients. Bill seems seriously to have broken, as have many others who have gone on to successful Wall St. careers, such as David Goldman, Nic "Criton" Zoakis and other loonies whom I suspect have really not changed their colors. But Bill Engdahl does indeed seem to have dropped his connections. I recommended his book to Pluto (my own publisher), and I think his interpretation deserves to be considered. I don't see the ideology-for-sale dirty tricks or misrepresentation that LaRouche typically plays. I do believe in handling all Larouchies and former members at arms length, however. Twenty years is a long time to have spent in the company of psychos. (I'm sending a copy of this to Mr. Engdahl as we've developed a civil correspondence.)

Dear A-List, Regarding the "anti-Semitic" slander, I have an interesting story. Both Dennis King and I tried to get ADL support for our exposure of LaRouche. the ADL refused to do anyithing against LaRouche, because they explained that they agreed with his politics! These were old Schachtmanites who had become ultra-rightists. (I've blocked out the head of their research department's name.) In Dennis's talks with them, they made it clear that they put support of right-wing politics above any concern with anti-Semitism. So of all the arguments against LaRouche, I don't think anti-Semitism should be one of them. Rather, LaRouche cultivated Jewish followers who were breaking away from their parents (usually CP members, I think) and replaced them. Only the Jewish members ever made any Jewish jokes in my presence. If anything, LaRouche had an obsession with the Queen of England. I imagine that when he was along writing at 4 AM he would pace around his desk stamping, muttering, "I am Queen Elizabeth. I am Queen Elizabeth," until he got up enough energy to keep on writing some more of his stream of consciousness. Michael Hudson

Calling someone not from USA a larouchite is meaningless because it's a USA centered ideology at its heart.

What it'll mean tomorrow, your guess is as good as mine.

There is no combination of words in the English language that you can come up with that will not have its meaning redefined if its starts being too effective in explaining certain things.

For now, Larouchite refers to people in USA who follow politics similar to Lyndon LaRouche, a dude whose ideology was engineered from the get-go to have a glaring weakpoint that consistent reactionaries can use to take over the entire movement if the need arises, and even before that useful to the powers that be since it inevitably brings them into conflict with communists, while not posing a risk of actually building a resilient movement of any sort - again, by design, engineered that way from the start.
