So as we’re all here, puzzling over the moment an apparent LaRouche activist used Jonathan Swift’s A Modest Proposal to troll @AOC, it might be a good moment for me to list Lyndon LaRouche’s ten most insane conspiracy theories, just so it’s clear who they are.
1) The Queen controls the international drugs trade, to fund the British Empire, which still rules the world in secret.
2) The Queen, Obama and the Duke of Edinburgh plotted to reduce the world’s population to 1 billion by starting a nuclear war. (Obama very much the junior partner in this.)
3) The Beatles were part of the British Empire’s psychological war against the USA. (HMQ in on this, too...)
4) Vice President Nelson Rockefeller planned to use the CIA and its network of secret brainwashing clinics to turn America into a giant workcamp full of zombie labourers.
This plan involved the KGB, MI5, poet Stephen Spender, and a school in Camden where the children were just photographs. Covered in all its mind-boggling detail in my book Operation Chaos. amazon.co.uk/Operation-Chao…
5) Hitler was a British agent.
6) The redoubtable journalist @FrancisWheen was involved in a conspiracy with the Unabomber and Jacob Rees-Mogg’s father. This one goes on forever but Francis knows the details.
7) Noam Chomsky tried to blow up New York with an atomic bomb.
8) The Tavistock institute in London runs a network of secret agents who can be recognised by a special and distinct grin.
Now the not so funny ones.
9) Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme was also in league with the CIA to brainwash the citizens of Sweden. Swedish LaRoucheans were so extreme in their views several were questioned by detectives investigating Palme’s assassination in 1986.
That article, by the way, is by William Engdahl, a conspiracy theorist blogger who was successfully sued for libel by Melania Trump.
10) When the British student Jeremiah Duggan lost his life in mysterious circumstances after attending a LaRouche group in Germany, Tony Blair used his death as part of a black propaganda campaign.
A mad slur, of course. I attended the latest inquest on the case, at which a narrative verdict was recorded. google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.theg…
If you want to donate to the campaign in his name, the details are here. It would be some way of ameliorating all the awfulness that LaRouche’s ideas have brought into the world. justiceforjeremiah.yolasite.com
