I’m reporting on the “Rage Against the War Machine” event at the Lincoln Memorial.

In attendance: Russia simps, the Schiller Institute (Larouche), Ron Paul, Jill Stein, Tulsi Gabbard, Cynthia McKinney, and the usual suspects. All that’s missing is the late Robert David Steele.

Crowd is modest; passersby wondering what it is. Very much the libertarian crowd (who sponsored it) and absolutely thick with Larouche presence; they seem to perhaps be involved in organizing too.

This guy is flying the flag of the “Black Hundreds,” a notoriously brutal Russian monarchist movement currently aligned with Aleksandr Dugin’s third position philosophies.

Ron Paul took the podium, following Dennis Kucinich and Tulsi Gabbard, to chants of “End the Fed,” referring to his strategy to bankrupt the dollar and end the Federal Reserve system. The whole thing was reminiscent of this moment on Russian state TV with their favorite pols.

The event reflected the merger of the Libertarian, Larouche, and Duginist networks. Key to the whole thing? Sergey Glazyev. He’s Putin’s BRICS currency strategist. He was also tight with Larouche and founded the Rodina (Motherland) party with Dugin.

Here’s the Larouchies pushing the End the Fed strategy, 20 years ago.

And here’s Glazyev, pushing it now.

And here’s James Scaminaci outlining the Ron Paul/Gary North strategy, years ago: bankrupt the US, kill the Fed, and seize control. /cc @4GWDOTDOTDOT

The devil is in the details. Actually doing all this is much harder than they would like. But the intersection between fantasy and reality is where today’s rally was situated.

I’ll have more on this, but this is the beating heart of the beast.

Trevor Fitzgibbon was one of the main organizers and promoters of this event, through his firm “Silent Partner.” He was also involved in last year’s “Defeat The Mandates” rally at the Lincoln Memorial, and many other PR campaigns. Here he is with Chris Hedges.

“All wars are bankers’ wars,” is one unmistakably anti-Semitic chant invoked by one speaker, I’ll have to go back and see who it was. I heard the same thing at last weekend’s Conscious Life Expo “New Age” fest in LA. Same “Protocols” propaganda underlying both groups.

Fitzgibbon and Dawna Shuman helped organize the “Defeat the Mandates” rally in 2022 which brought together the Conscious Life new age anti-vax folks with the Ron Paul types. It’s really one large network with different poles; LeFevre-style voluntaryism underlying all of it.

Voluntaryism underpins modern libertarian thought; Ron Paul brought it up as ‘voluntarism’ [sic] today. Auberon Herbert is known for the idea but it was popularized by I AM cultist Robert LeFevre, who influenced Charles Koch through his Freedom School.
