Prophetic cult preys on campus
On Thursday, I was walking out of my Native American Literature class in Pray Harrold and I was appalled to see a poster with President Obama posing with Adolf Hitler’s mustache. Being both a Jew and an Eastern Michigan University student, it was something I immediately noticed. There was a group on campus that day called Larouche Pac. Lyndon Larouche claims to be an economist, a genius and an all around great man while trying to brainwash U.S. citizens.
Larouche’s people were trying to get people to agree with them about Obama’s health plan saying it is a lot like Hitler’s health plan. Larouche does not make it a secret that he is against homosexuals. His people tried to deny asking students for money, but I did hear them ask at least one student for $100 for their cause.

- Abortion discussion complex · Oct 19
- 'We need to teach values' · Sep 11
When students asked their beliefs, they danced around the subjects. They had absolutely no idea what they were talking about. It was frustrating to have a conversation with Larouche’s people. When a student asked how President Obama is like Hitler one of the young men stated that Obama would soon be killing our grandmothers off.
According to The New York Times, Larouche was sentenced to 15 years in jail for conspiracy to commit mail fraud involving more than $30 million in defaulted loans and 11 counts of actual mail fraud involving $294,000 in defaulted loans. He was convicted of deliberately defaulting on more than $30 million in loans.
Our country is one of the greatest countries in the world in my opinion because of our First Amendment right, the right to free speech. Even though I was called just about every curse word in the book by his followers here at EMU, they did have the legal right to be on campus, and if we started to censor people like Larouche’s followers on campus what else would the U.S. or EMU start to censor *The Eastern Echo*? EMYou? Body Electric, the zine here on campus?
I believe that Larouche and Larouche’s people do have a right to be here under the First Amendment, even though a lot of EMU students that I spoke to say that they should have had to have a permit, and in a perfect world none of this would go on. The problem again as I said earlier when will censorship end if it starts?
I know a lot of people who I talked to that day are not expecting this kind of article, so let me make this clear: I am against Larouche in every way possible.
I witnessed one student take some propaganda and rip it up in front of Larouche’s followers. I also witnessed Lareouche’s people grabbing pamphlets out of student’s hands after giving them the pamphlets if they didn’t agree, calling students names and using a lot of other types of profanity while talking to students.
It almost seemed as though they wanted to start a physical fight with students, and after reading several sources, it seems like Larouche’s followers often start up fights so they can get hit, shoved or have their property damaged so that they can sue the “instigator” of the fight. I have also read that getting kicked off campus is not so bad either, because they can sue the school for silencing their First Amendment rights.
One of Larouche’s people on campus said “I do not go to college, and will not go to college, going to college just makes people stupid.”
Larouche went to Northwestern University, but never graduated because of poor grades. These are not ways to recruit supporters.
In my personal opinion, after having researched Larouche, he is in every sense a cult leader.
According to publiceye.org, a man named Ken Kronberg who was a 30-year-old member of the organization ran a printing company and produced Larouche’s literature for free. When he could no longer afford to do that “an internal memo was circulated within the group suggesting that members who could not adapt might as well just kill themselves.” That is exactly what happened a few hours after that memo went out; Kronberg did in fact commit suicide.
Some ways to protect yourself from this crazy cult would be not to take their CDs, they may have viruses. Don’t give out personal information including your full name; it will save you a headache. Some names are so rare, such as mine, that you can get a lot of information from just a name. Don’t give in to their literature, if you want to know more about them go to www.larouchepac.com. Do not start physical altercations with these guys, because it is what they want.
We all have our own beliefs but for some reason some people are better at brainwashing people than others and use it for evil instead of good.

I am an African American teacher of Economics. Larouche is 100 percent accurate. I’ll debate you on the facts.

While you’re debating economics on the “facts,” Brian, you might consider discussing with your interlocutor the case that Andrea Lorfel brings up—the case of my late husband Ken Kronberg, who committed suicide in April 2007, driven to his death as Andrea suggests, although there’s more—and worse—to the story.
I was in the LaRouche org myself, and in fact, I am ashamed to admit, in the leadership, and I strongly advise you, Brian, to turn your back on this thing.
Go to http://www.kennethkronberg.com/KK/ and check out a number of articles on the story of Ken Kronberg.

It is sad today that many people, sometimes even including minorities, feel the need to use the discomfort some others feel about President Obama,due to the color of his skin, to spread their messages.
For those painting Hitler’s look on our president and shouting down those who try to speak, they should remember that their hateful tactics are exactly the ones used by Hitler. Many people went along because they didn’t want to appear sympathetic to those who were ethnically different.
Shouting, name calling, fear of anyone different than you are….all tactics used then and used now.
Standing up for first amendment rights is very…well…righteous. Let’s just hope that someone is around who will stand up for YOUR rights if or WHEN they are taken away by those spreading lies and hatred around America.

Larouche is not an economist but a convicted criminal and cult leader who was sent to prison in the 1980s for hijacking over 30 million dollars from people who thought that he was a legitimate person. In this regards, Larouche is more of a Bernie Madoff with his cult’s promissory note schemes and credit card fraud. Like Madoff, hardly anyone who lost a total of nearly 34 million dollars in this madmans delusions and fraud will ever see a dime.
Larouche has been a socialist, communist, Christian, left/right winger, pro Russian, anti Russian and anything else you can imagine to sucker people to his delusions.For over 40 years he has been running a cult of endless economic collapse, New Dark Ages and Nuclear war to recruit enough naive colege kids to drop out of school and support him. His cult dances around many labor laws as he has them called “volunteers” and has them running like hamsters 18 hours a day, 6 1/2 to 7 days a week with one crisis after another for about 20 to 40 dollars a week.
This cult circus has been going on for over 40 years by Larouche who has to recruit new blood to replace the worn out and broken down cult members who are discarded or those who have figured out how this farce works. Several hundred people have left the cult and in the last dying days of the elderly Larouche, he needs a few naive people to keep him and his wife living that millionaire lifestyle.
You can read about how this charade is run on sites like:

http://american-lycurgus.blogspot.com/
http://lyndonlarouchewatch.org/
http://kenkronberg.com
http://www.factnet.org/ under discussions where there are over 8K posts from former members about this lunacy.
This is a bum who had the anti semitic Protocols of the Elders of Zion placed in his propaganda.
If you want to see what the real Larouche has to say about Obama, check out what he told his cult privately last year .
http://lyndonlarouchewatch.org/larouche-obama-menu.htm
“ I mean: Obama is a racist. I mean, with an African father—he wasn’t much of an African father, but was an African father of Kenya. He was part of a British operation, which took over Kenya, through MI5’s operation. But this guy was away from Kenya, and he married a Margaret Mead type, a woman who had a number of successive husbands, like Margaret Mead did. Went out to the poor, brown people, in Asia, and had sex with them! It was called “Coming in Samoa.” [groans, laughter] And she wore through a number of successive husbands, and by them, had various children. And therefore, you’ll find Obama’s ancestry, if you chase his family tree, everybody’s climbing and swinging from the branches there—from all over the world! All parts of the world! This guy is the universal man. Every monkey in every tree, from every part of the world, has participated in the sexual act of producing him. And he works for organized crime—which is a branch of British intelligence. “
If you give your name and phone number to the cult, they will be calling you endlessly to save humanity which seems to be only done by emptying your bank account with them. If you are in college, then the way to save humanity is for you to drop out of college, toil endlessly at their card table shrines or boiler rooms raising money for him. You basicaly work for free as most people in cults.
Whatever is the current script is all just a mirage as it can change on a dime when Larouche needs you to raise money from another list of people. Last year, Obama was the devil incarnate,. Then , Obama is being advised by Larouche. Now Obama is Hitler. Read up on how this cult operates so you do not get hoodwinked by them.
If you have a desire to do political work, find a real org instead of a cult to spend your time with.
These cultists call themselves Democrats? Read what the cult’s LPAC National Leader had to say about a Black Democratic Senator years ago to see what sort of crazy town you are about to enter.
http://wlym.com/PDF-SpReps/SPRP24.pdf
Just google Debbie Freeman with Parren Mitchell and see that the Senator had to pull a gun on the cult gang sent to his house.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/national/longterm/cult/larouche/larou4.htm
“His outfit smacks of fascism to me,” Rep. Parren J. Mitchell (D-Md.) said in a statement introduced in the libel case. Mitchell said in an interview that LaRouche supporters tried to break up his political gatherings in Baltimore and distributed literature calling him a drug dealer and a “house nigger.” Mitchell said he received several anonymous telephone calls, including one death threat.
“I knew it was them because I recognized some of their voices,” Mitchell said. He said the harassment ended soon after he pulled a gun on a group of LaRouche supporters gathered outside his Baltimore home. “
