The '''LaRouche movement''' is an international political and [[Cultural movement|cultural]] [[Social movement|movement]] which promotes [[Lyndon LaRouche]] and his ideas, including a commitment to "what has been often termed 'a just new world economic order:' the urgency of affording what have been sometimes termed 'Third World nations,' their full rights to perfect national sovereignty, and to access to the improvement of their educational systems and economies through employment of the most advanced science and technology."<ref>[http://www.schillerinstitute.org/biographys/meet_larouche.html Biography of Lyndon H. LaRouche Jr,. Economist, Statesman, Political Leader, Universal Thinker<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> The organization includes interlocking [[think tank]]s, magazines and newspapers, national political organizations, a political action committee, and youth cadre, the [[Worldwide LaRouche Youth Movement|LaRouche Youth Movement]], which is active worldwide.
''[[The Washington Monthly]]'' writes that the LaRouche movement has been referred to as [[Marxist]], [[fascist]], a [[political cult]], a [[personality cult]], a criminal enterprise, and "one of the strangest political groups in American history."<ref name=Klein>Avi Klein. [http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/features/2007/0711.klein.html "Publish and Perish"], ''The Washington Monthly'', November 2007</ref> The magazine argues it would be more accurate to call the movement a "vast and bizarre vanity press."<ref name=Klein/> The movement promotes a number of beliefs which are called [[conspiracy theory|conspiracy theories]] by critics. Some of these beliefs have been accused of being [[anti-Semitic]].<ref>

==Executive Intelligence Review==
The LaRouche movement maintains its own press service, ''Executive Intelligence Review''. In 1985 it was referred to by Norman Bailey, a former senior staffer of the [[National Security Council]], as "one of the best private intelligence services in the world."<ref>[http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/national/longterm/cult/larouche/larou1.htm "Some Officials Find Intelligence Network 'Useful'"], ''The Washington Post'', [[January 15]], [[1985]] </ref>
According to its masthead, ''EIR'' maintains international bureaus in [[Bogotá]], [[Berlin]], [[Copenhagen]], [[Lima]], [[Melbourne]], [[Mexico City]], [[New Delhi]], [[Paris]], and [[Wiesbaden]], in addition to various cities in the U.S. ''EIR'' staffers have often provided testimony to various congressional committees, [http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rls=GGLG,GGLG:2006-13,GGLG:en&q=%22Executive+Intelligence+Review%22+site:waysandmeans%2ehouse%2egov] and an archive of ''EIR'' is maintained by the British Library of Political and Economic Science.[http://library-2.lse.ac.uk/archives/handlists/ExecIntellRev/ExecIntellRev.html]
In 1996, ''EIR'' published the list of [[MI-6]] agents provided by former MI-6 officer [[Richard Tomlinson]].[http://www.namebase.org/sources/cQ.html]

==Political organizations==
LaRouche-affiliated political parties have nominated many hundreds of candidates for national and regional offices in the [[United States|U.S.]], [[Canada]], [[Sweden]], [[Denmark]], [[Germany]], [[Australia]] and [[France]], for almost thirty years. In countries outside the U.S., the LaRouche movement maintains its own minor parties, and they have had no significant electoral success to date. In the U.S., however, they are active in the [[United States Democratic Party|Democratic Party]], and individuals associated with the movement have successfully sought party office in some elections, particularly Democratic County Central Committee posts. In 2006, LaRouche Youth Movement activist and Los Angeles County Democratic Central Committee member Cody Jones was honored as "Democrat of the Year" for the 43rd Assembly District of California, by the Los Angeles County Democratic Party. [http://www.larouchepac.com/pages/otherartic_files/2006/060626_cody_jones.htm].
At the April 2007 California State Democratic Convention, LYM activist Quincy O'Neal was elected vice-chairman of the California State Democratic Black Caucus,[http://www.larouchepac.com/pages/breaking_news/2007/04/27/quincy.shtml] and Wynneal Inocentes was elected corresponding secretary of the Filipino Caucus.[http://www.larouchepac.com/pages/breaking_news/2007/04/28/wyneal.shtml]
In 1986, [[Janice Hart]] won the Democratic Primary election for the office of [[Illinois]] [[Secretary of State]], and [[Mark J. Fairchild]] won the Democratic Primary for Illinois Lieutenant Governor. Up until the day following the election, major media outlets were reporting that George Sangmeister, Fairchild's primary opponent, was running unopposed. 21 years later Fairchild asked, “how is it possible that the major media, with all of their access to information, could possibly be mistaken in that way?”[http://www.sj-r.com/News/stories/19305.asp][http://www.saukvalley.com/articles/2007/11/02/news/state/293146607163817.txt]
(After the Illinois primary Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan (D-NY) blasted his own party for pursuing a policy of ignoring the ‘infiltration by the neo-Nazi elements of Lyndon H. LaRouche,’ and worried that too often, especially in the media, ‘the LaRouchites’ are ‘dismissed as kooks.’ ‘In an age of ideology, in an age of totalitarianism, it will not suffice for a political party to be indifferent to and ignorant about such a movement,’ said Moynihan."<ref>Chip Berlet and Joel Bellman, [http://www.publiceye.org/larouche/nclc3.html ''Fascism Wrapped in an American Flag'',] Political Research Associates. See also, Dennis King, ''Lyndon LaRouche and the New American Fascism'', p. 373-375.</ref> Moynihan had previously faced a primary challenge in 1982 from Mel Klenetsky, a Jewish associate of LaRouche, and had called Klenetsky "anti-Semitic."<ref>[[Anton Chaitkin|Chaitkin, Anton]], [http://www.larouchepub.com/pr/site_packages/2003/leo_strauss/3015why_dems_failed_ahc.html "Why the Democratic Party Failed To Function in This Crisis,"]''EIR'', April 18, 2003</ref>) Democratic gubernatorial candidate [[Adlai Stevenson III]] was favored to win this election, having lost the previous election by a narrow margin amid allegations of [[vote fraud]]. However, he refused to run on the same slate with Hart and Fairchild. Instead, Stevenson formed the [[Solidarity Party]] and ran with Jane Spirgel as the Secretary of State nominee. Hart and Spirgel's opponent, Republican incumbent [[Jim Edgar]], won the election by the largest margin in any state-wide election in Illinois history, with 1.574 million votes.<ref>"THOMPSON WINS BACK RESPECT" Steve Neal and Daniel Egler. ''Chicago Tribune''. Chicago, Ill.: Nov 6, 1986. pg. 1</ref>
In November 2007, Mark Fairchild returned to Illinois to promote legislation authored by LaRouche, called the Homeowners and Bank Protection Act of 2007, that would establish a moratorium on home [[foreclosure]]s and establish a new federal agency to oversee all federal and state banks. He also promoted LaRouche's plan to build a high-speed railroad to connect Russia and the United States, including a tunnel under the [[Bering Strait]].[http://www.sj-r.com/News/stories/19305.asp][http://www.saukvalley.com/articles/2007/11/02/news/state/293146607163817.txt]
In 1988, Claude Jones won the chairmanship of the [[Harris County]] Democratic Party in [[Houston]], only to be stripped of his authority by the county executive committee before he could take office.[http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/organizations/d/democratic_party/index.html?query=LAROUCHE,%20LYNDON%20HERMYLE%20JR&field=per&match=exact]
In 2000, the Democratic nominee in Wyoming for the Senate, [[Mel Logan]], was a LaRouche follower;<ref>[http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=940CE4D91E39F93BA35752C1A9669C8B63 THE 2000 ELECTIONS: WEST - New York Times<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> the Republican incumbent, [[Craig L. Thomas|Craig Thomas]], won in a 76%-23% landslide.
===International===
The [[Schiller Institute]] and the [[International Caucus of Labor Committees]] (ICLC) are international organizations that mobilize on behalf of the LaRouche Movement. Schiller Institute conferences have been held across the world. The ICLC is affiliated to political parties in [[France]], [[Italy]], [[Germany]], [[Poland]], [[Hungary]], [[Russia]], [[Denmark]], [[Sweden]], [[Mexico]], and several South American countries. Lyndon LaRouche, who is based in [[Loudoun County, Virginia]], [[United States]], and his wife, [[Helga Zepp-LaRouche]], based in [[Wiesbaden]], [[Germany]], regularly attend these international conferences and have met foreign politicians, bureaucrats, and academics.
===United States===
LaRouche himself has been a candidate for [[President of the United States of America|U.S. president]] eight times, and has stood in every election since 1976. The first was with his own party, the [[U.S. Labor Party]]. In the next seven campaigns he campaigned for the [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democratic Party]] nomination. In support of those efforts he has created campaign committees and a [[political action committee|PAC]], and has attempted to gain entrance to [[caucus]]es, [[debate]]s, and [[Political convention|conventions]] for himself and supporters. He was a successful [[fundraiser]] in 2004 by some measures, and received federal [[matching funds]]. See [[Lyndon LaRouche U.S. Presidential campaigns]].
The LaRouche supporters have employed [[direct action]]. In 2004 there were reports, from the [[John Kerry|Kerry]], [[Howard Dean|Dean]], and [[Ralph Nader|Nader]] campaigns, of disruptions by LaRouche supporters of other candidates' meetings.[http://www.thecrimson.com/article.aspx?ref=503699]. A [[Congressional Black Caucus]]-sponsored debate in [[Baltimore]] amongst Democratic candidates for president was repeatedly interrupted.[http://www.wsws.org/articles/2003/oct2003/det-o29.shtml] Candidates for federal office in [[South Dakota]] were arrested for [[disorderly conduct]] at a Democratic fundraiser.[http://sibbyonline.blogs.com/sibbyonline/2004/09/larouche_suppor.html]
In 1986 the LaRouche movement placed its [[AIDS]] initiative, [[California Proposition 64 (1986)|Proposition 64]], on the [[California]] [[ballot]], which lost by a 4-1 margin. It was re-introduced in 1988 and lost again by the same margin.
In 1996, the candidacy of [[Lyndon LaRouche]] was opposed by [[Donald Fowler]] on behalf of the [[Democratic National Committee]], arguing that he was "not a bona fide Democrat."[http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/cgi-bin/getcase.pl?court=dc&navby=case&no=967191a]
In 2001, a "national citizen-candidates' movement" was created, advancing candidates for a number of elective offices across the country.
===Canada===
The [[North American Labour Party]] (NALP) nominated candidates in federal elections in the 1970s. Its candidates only had 297 votes nationwide in 1979. LaRouche himself offered a draft constitution for the commonwealth of Canada in 1981, which was not adopted.[http://www.comiterepubliquecanada.ca/English/ConstitutionEn.htm] The NALP later became the [[Party for the Commonwealth of Canada]] and that ran candidates in the 1984, 1988 and 1993 elections. Those were more successful, gaining as many as 7,502 votes in 1993, but no seats. The [[Parti pour la république du Canada (Québec)]] nominated candidates for provincial elections in the 1980s under various party titles. The LaRouche affiliate now operates as the ''Committee for the Republic of Canada.'' [http://www.committeerepubliccanada.ca]
===Latin America===
[[Brazil]]'s [[Party for Rebuilding of National Order]] (PRONA) is described as a "LaRouche friend" and one of its members has been quoted in the ''Executive Intelligence Review'' as saying "We associate ourselves with the wave of ideas which flow from Mr. LaRouche's prodigious mind". [http://www.rense.com/general30/SDGH.HTM] PRONA gained six seats in the Chamber of Deputies in 2002 [http://www.flag.de/FOTW/flags/br-pol2.html#prona] However there is no independent evidence that the PRONA or its leader recognize LaRouche as an influence on their policies, and it has been described as being part of the right-wing Catholic [[integralist]] political tradition.{{Fact|date=June 2008}}
===Australia===
[[Image:Cec2.jpg|thumb|CEC members campaigning for Aaron Isherwood (center)]]
LaRouche supporters gained control of the formerly far-right [[Citizens Electoral Council]] in the mid-1990s. [[Craig Isherwood]] and his spouse Noelene Isherwood are the leaders of the party. The CEC has opposed politician [[Michael Danby]] and the [[Australian anti-terrorism legislation, 2004]]. For the 2004 federal election, it nominated people for ninety-five seats, collected millions of dollars in contributions, and earned 34,177 votes.
The CEC is particularly concerned with [[Alexander Hamilton|Hamiltonian]] economics and development ideas for Australia. It has been critical of [[Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom|Queen Elizabeth II]]'s ownership of an Australian zinc mine and believes that she exerts control over Australian politics through the use of [[prerogative power]]. It has been in an antagonistic relationship with the [[B'nai B'rith]]'s Anti-Defamation Commission, which has been critical of the CEC for perceived anti-semitism. It has asserted that the [[Liberal Party of Australia|Liberal Party]] is a descendant of the [[New Guard]] and other purported fascists such as Sir [[Wilfrid Kent Hughes]] and Sir [[Robert Menzies]]. The CEC also claims to be fighting for "real" Labor policies (from the 1930-40s republican leanings of the [[Australian Labor Party]]).
The CEC publishes an irregular newspaper, ''The New Citizen''.
===Europe===
The LaRouche Movement has a major center in [[Germany]]. The political party, [[Bürgerrechtsbewegung Solidarität]] (Civil Rights Movement Solidarity) is headed by [[Helga Zepp-LaRouche]], and has nominated candidates for elective office. Its newpspaper is ''Neue Solidarität''. Zepp-LaRouche is also the head of the German-based [[Schiller Institute]]. <!-- Die Europäische Arbeiterpartei --> In 1986 Zepp-LaRouche formed the "Patriots for Germany" party, and reportedly ran a full slate of 100 candidates. The party received .2 percent out of 4 million votes.<ref>"Narrow state election victory gives boost to Kohl coalition", ''HOUSTON CHRONICLE'', 06/16/1986 [http://www.chron.com/CDA/archives/archive.mpl?id=1986_245831]</ref>
Solidarité et Progrès, headed by [[Jacques Cheminade]], is the LaRouche party in [[France]]. Newspaper is ''Nouvelle Solidarité''. [http://www.solidariteetprogres.org/] [http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A46883-2004Oct20.html] The French LaRouche Youth Movement is headed by Elodie Viennot. Viennot supported the candidacy of Daniel Buchmann for the position of mayor of Berlin.
Polish newspapers have reported that [[Andrzej Lepper]], who leads the populist [[Samoobrona]] party, was trained at the Schiller Institute and has received funding from LaRouche, though both Lepper and LaRouche deny the connection. [http://www.tau.ac.il/Anti-Semitism/asw2001-2/poland.htm][http://www.larouchepub.com/pr_lar/2001/011228poland_lies.html]
In [[Denmark]] there are four candidates for parliament on the LaRouche platform: Tom Gillesberg, Feride Istogu Gillesberg, Hans Schultz and Janus Kramer Møller. [http://www.schillerinstitut.dk/]. In the 2007 election they totalled just 197 votes nationwide (at least 32000 is needed for a local mandate).
The Danish LaRouche Movement (Schiller Instituttet) have recently published their first newspaper, distributing 50,000 around Copenhagen and [[Aarhus]][http://www.sive.dk/kampagneaviser.htm].
[[Image:EAP demonstrerar mot EU - 2008-05-01 - 1.jpg|thumb|LaRouche supporters in Stockholm protesting the [[Treaty of Lisbon]].]]
Sweden has an office of the Schiller Institute: Schillerinstitutet/EAP in Sweden [http://www.nysol.se/], and the political party [[European Worker's Party]] (EAP). Curiously, the leader of the EAP, [[Ulf Sandmark]] started out as a member of the [[social democratic]] youth organisation [[SSU]], and was assigned to investigate (some would say [[entryism|infiltrate]]) EAP, then the left-posturing ELC. During this time, he was recruited to EAP and had his membership in SSU revoked.
The Movimento Solidarietà - Associazione di LaRouche in Italia, the MSA, is an [[Italy|Italian]] political party headed by Paolo Raimondi that supports the LaRouche platform.
Ortrun Cramer of the Schiller Institute became a delegate of the [[Austria]]n [[International Progress Organization]] in the 1990s, but there is no sign of ongoing relationship.<ref>[http://www.ispac-italy.org/ngoprof.php?Org_ID=105 Non-governmental, Individual Experts, Academic, Scientific, Research and Professional Organizations<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref><ref>[http://www.larouchepub.com/tv/tlc_programs_2000.html LaRouche Connection Master List 1995-present<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>
[[Ukraine]]'s [[Progressive Socialist Party of Ukraine|Progressive Socialist Party]] is led by [[Nataliya Vitrenko]]. Ms. Vitrenko's philosophy has been called a "post-Soviet [[Bolshevism]], a histrionic concoction of [[Karl Marx|Marx]], [[Vladimir Lenin|Lenin]] and [[Lyndon LaRouche]] animated by an anger bordering on hatred for the new [[bourgeoisie]] and for multilateral international [[financial institution]]s." [http://www.ukrweekly.com/Archive/1999/429913.shtml] She won 11% in the 1999 presidential election and 3% in the 2002 parliamentary elections. Vitrenko has been mentioned favourably [http://larouchepub.com/eiw/public/2006/2006_40-49/2006_40-49/2006-49/russia.html] and interviewed [http://www.new-fed.com/eirtoc/1998/eirtoc_2517.html] by the ''Executive Intelligence Review''.
In February 2008, the LaRouche movement throughout Europe began a campaign to prevent the ratification of the [[Treaty of Lisbon]], which according to LaRouche PAC "empowers a supranational financial elite to take over the right of taxation and war making, and even restore the death penalty, abolished in most nations of Western Europe."[http://www.larouchepac.com/news/2008/02/19/italian-senator-exposes-secret-plan-fascism-europe.html] LaRouche press releases suggest that the treaty has an underlying fascist agenda, based on the ideas of Sir [[Oswald Mosley]].[http://www.larouchepac.com/news/2008/02/19/lisbon-treaty-based-program-british-fascist-oswald-mosley.html]
===Asia and Middle East===
The [[Philippines]] LaRouche Society calls for fixed [[exchange rate]]s, US/Philippine withdrawal from Iraq, denunciation of [[Dick Cheney]], and withdrawal of U.S. [[military advisor]]s <!-- make a short article about role of military advisors in intl politics --> from [[Mindanao]]. It has an office in [[Manila]], operates radio show and says on its website, "Lyndon LaRouche is our civilization's last chance at world peace and development. May God help us." On the matter of internal politics, LaRouche operative [[Michael Billington (activist)|Mike Billington]] has said, "The Philippines Catholic Church, too, is divided at the top over the crisis. The Church under [[Jaime Cardinal Sin]], who is now retired, had given its full support to the 'people's power' charade for the overthrow of [[Ferdinand Marcos|Marcos]] and [[Joseph Estrada|Estrada]], but other voices are heard today." [http://www.geocities.com/philarouche/PLS1.htm Philippine Elections Show No Solution Ahead]
The Malayasian LaRouche Society has a minor presence. [http://www.geocities.com/lhlsociety/index.htm]
===Latin America and Africa===
The MSIA, or Ibero-American Solidarity Movement, has been described as an offshoot of LaRouche's Labor Party in Mexico. It was noted for its harsh attacks on Bishop [[Samuel Ruiz]] and the [[Chiapas]] separatist movement.<ref>"LaRouche is Behind Attacks on Ruiz", Bill and Patty Coleman, ''[[National Catholic Reporter]]'', [[June 3]] [[1994]]</ref>
The movement strongly oppose perceived manifestations of [[neo-colonialism]], including the [[IMF]], the [[Falklands War|Falklands/Malvinas War]] etc. and are advocates of the [[Monroe Doctrine]].
==Cultural, economic, and scientific initiatives==
*'''New Bretton Woods'''. Advocates the abandonment of [[floating exchange rate]]s and the return to [[Bretton Woods system|Bretton Woods]]-style fixed rates, with gold, or an equivalent, used as under the gold-reserve system. This is not to be confused with the [[gold standard]], which LaRouche does not support.
*'''American System'''. Espouses a new "American System" of federalized [[infrastructure]] projects and [[national bank]]s & regulation. Named for the historical [[American System (economic plan)|American System]] of [[Henry Clay]], but owing more to the ideas of the expansive [[American School (economics)|American School]].
*'''[[Eurasia]]n land-bridge'''. Lectures and writes on behalf of a "Eurasian land-bridge", a massive high-speed [[Maglev train|maglev]] railway project to span continents and re-invigorate industry and commerce.
*'''Verdi tuning'''. Argues in favor of the "Verdi tuning" in [[classical music]], in which A=432Hz, as opposed to the common practice today of tuning to A=440 Hz.
*'''[[Mars]] [[Space colonization|colonization]]'''. Recommends [[colonization of Mars|colonization of the planet Mars]], on similar basis as many others in the field, that human survivability depends on territorial diversification.
*'''[[AIDS]] epidemic''' Demands identification and isolation of [[HIV]] carriers, in light of the virus's swift adaptability, which he argues could mutate into a lethal, possibly airborne [[pandemic]], and proposes use of directed energy beams for cure.<ref>[http://www.holysmoke.org/wb/wb0260.htm Larouche on Radio Frequency assault weapons<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>
*'''[[Strategic Defense Initiative]]'''. Supported [[Directed Energy Weapon|directed beam weapons]] for use against [[ICBM]]s, and claims credit as the first to propose this to [[Ronald Reagan]]. LaRouche does not support rocket-based defensive systems such as [[anti-ballistic missile]]s.
==Humor==
The LaRouche movement activists are fond of the use of humor, including risque [[double entendre]]s, in their street activities. A famous placard originated by the LaRouche activists was "Nuclear plants are built better than Jane Fonda," as part of their campaign to promote [[nuclear energy]] beginning in the late 1970s. In 1999 there was a rally held in [[Orange County, California|Orange County]], California, in front of the offices of then-congressman [[Christopher Cox]], in opposition to the [[Cox Report]], a report that claimed that the U.S. was threatened by [[China]]. The report was prepared by the Select Committee on U.S. National Security and Military/Commercial Concerns with the People's Republic of China, headed by Republican Cox and Democratic congressman [[Norm Dicks]]. The LaRouche rally, which was covered on Los Angeles TV channel [[KTTV]] news, featured a large banner which read, "Don't be a sucker for Cox and Dicks."
In March 2008, following the collapse of [[Bear Stearns#Subprime mortgage hedge fund crisis|Bear Stearns]], a LaRouche rally was filmed by [[Roxbury]] TV news, involving [[guerrilla communication|guerrilla theater]] in front of Bear Stearns offices in [[Manhattan]]. A LaRouche activist was costumed as [[Benito Mussolini]] with the addition of [[Mickey Mouse]] ears on his uniform, and he proclaimed himself to be "Benito Mouse-olini," come to hail what the demonstators called the return of fascism in the policies of leading [[Wall Street]] personalities.[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VY2D9A5k_OM ] The following month, a LaRouche Youth activist attended the California State Democratic Convention to entertain the delegates with a satirical [[Arnold Schwarzenegger]] impression.<ref>[http://www.larouchepac.com/media/2008/04/06/ahnold-california-democrats-convention.html LaRouchePAC.com 6 April 2008]</ref>
==Criticism==
The LaRouche movement is seen by some as a fringe [[political cult]] or a [[cult of personality]]. The ''Washington Post'' wrote:
:"Becoming a faithful follower of LaRouche is like entering the [[Bizarro World]] of the Superman comic books", says Paul Kacprzak, 45, who joined LaRouche as an idealistic teenager in the 1970s and worked for him for about a decade. As long as you stay inside the movement, everything you are told makes a certain sense. But if you try to view it from the outside, he says, 'it's Bizarro World.'" <ref>April Witt, "No Joke", ''Washington Post'', Sunday, [[October 24]], [[2004]]; Page W12</ref>.
Journalist and [[John Birch Society]] activist [[John Rees (journalist)|John Rees]][http://rightweb.irc-online.org/gw/2817] wrote in his ''Information Digest'', that the movement has "taken on the characteristics more of a political cult than a political party," and that LaRouche is given "blind obedience" by his followers.<ref name="ODYSSEY"/>
In rebuttal, LaRouche called the accusations of being a cult figure "garbage," and denied having control over any of the groups affiliated with him.<ref name="ODYSSEY">[http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/national/longterm/cult/larouche/main.htm Ideological Odyssey: From Old Left to Far Right] John Mintz Washington Post January 14, 1985</ref>
According to longtime critics [[Chip Berlet]] and Matthew N. Lyons:
:Though often dismissed as a bizarre political cult, the LaRouche organization and its various front groups are a fascist movement whose pronouncements echo elements of Nazi ideology.[1] Beginning in the 1970s, the LaRouchites combined populist antielitism with attacks on leftists, environmentalists, feminists, gay men and lesbians, and organized labor. They advocated a dictatorship in which a 'humanist' elite would rule on behalf of industrial capitalists. They developed an idiosyncratic, coded variation on the Illuminati Freemason and Jewish banker conspiracy theories. Their views, though exotic, were internally consistent and rooted in right-wing populist traditions.<ref>[http://www.publiceye.org/larouche/synthesis.html The LaRouchite Secret Elite Synthesis] Chip Berlet & Matthew N. Lyons, ''Right-Wing Populism in America'', p. 273.,</ref>
The LaRouche organization has referred to Berlet as "a low-level dirty-tricks operative against LaRouche," funded by the [[Ford Foundation]].[http://larouchepub.com/other/2006/3324_berlet.html]
There have been allegations that the LaRouche movement has harassed its opponents. In the 1980s the movement was accused of killing or mutilating the pets of critics.<ref>"FBI probing dark side of LaRouche organization", Kevin Roderick. ''Houston Chronicle'' October 19, 1986</ref> Columnist [[Mike Royko]] reported that he had criticized a local LaRouche group and subsequently his female assistant found a LaRouche flyer on her door with the handwritten note: "A warning. We will kill your [[cat]]."<ref>"2 Winners From the Twilight Zone", [[Mike Royko]]. ''[[Chicago Tribune]]'', March 20, 1986</ref> A journalist in New Hampshire reported that his 3 cats were killed on sequential days after the publication of his series on the LaRouche organization.<ref>"LaRouche Group, Long on the Political Fringe Gets Mainstream Scrutiny After Illinois Primary", Ellen Hume, ''[[Wall Street Journal]]'', March 28, 1986</ref> When LaRouche's headquarters moved to [[Leesburg, Virginia]], relations with the neighbors were tense. The county sheriff said rumors of animal harm were common. One local merchant was quoted on camera reporting the poisoning of a horse and the mutilation of a dog.<ref>"SMALL TOWN IN VIRGINIA TENSE HOST TO LaROUCHE", Matthew L. Wald, ''[[New York Times]]'', April 11, 1986</ref>
Marielle Kronberg, a longtime member who developed serious political differences with the organization, gave an interview to [[Chip Berlet]] in 2007 in which she made critical comments about the LaRouche movement. She was quoted as saying, "I'm worried that the organization may be in danger of becoming a killing machine."<ref>[http://www.publiceye.org/larouche/Kronberg.html "The death of Kenneth Kronberg"] 2007, [[Political Research Associates.]]</ref> In 2004 and 2005, Kronberg made contributions of $1,501 to the [[Republican National Committee]] and the election campaign of [[George W. Bush]],<ref name=Klein/><ref>[http://fundrace.huffingtonpost.com/neighbors.php?older=yes&zip=20175] Fundrace 2008, The Huffington Post</ref> despite the LaRouche movement's opposition to the Bush administration. According to journalis Avi Klein, LaRouche felt that this "foreshadowed her treachery to the movement."<ref name=Klein/> Kronberg had been a member of the movement's governing National Committee since 1982 and was convicted in 1989 of participating in a scheme to defraud $30 million on behalf of the LaRouche movment.<ref>"3 LAROUCHE WORKERS ARE CONVICTED OF FRAUD" United Press International. Richmond Times - Dispatch. Richmond, Va.: Sep 1, 1989. pg. A-2. "Three people who worked for political extremist Lyndon LaRouche were convicted yesterday of bilking New Yorkers out of about $30 million to raise money for his organizations...Robert Primack, 41, of Palisades Park, N.J., and Marielle Kronberg, 41, and Lynne Speed, 37, both of Leesburg, Va., were convicted of one count each of scheming to defraud and Primack was convicted also of fifth-degree conspiracy.</ref> Her husband, [[Kenneth Kronberg]], who had been a leading member of the movement, committed suicide in 2007, reportedly due to financial issues concerning the movement.<ref name=Klein/>

====Historical villains====
*[[Aristotle]]
*[[Bernard de Mandeville]]
*[[Augustin-Louis Cauchy]] [http://www.larouchepub.com/lar/2005/3213cauchy_fraud.html]
*[[Euclid]] - LaRouche disagrees with his form of geometry, stating that it does not reflect 3-Dimensional reality.
*[[Arnold Schoenberg]], a composer.
*[[Antonio Vivaldi]] According to LaRouche critic Tim Page, LaRouche activists "had some petition to ban Vivaldi from the concert halls." [http://www.belcantosociety.org/pages/magazine2.html] However, the LaRouche organization has performed Vivaldi at their cultural events.[http://www.schillerinstitute.org/highlite/highlights_84_to_00.html])
*[[Bertrand Russell]] - LaRouche pamphlets feature the point of view that his philosophical ideas are satanic. These pamphlets depict Russell as insisting that all discussion of science be restricted to mathematical formalisms and that, by doing so, Russell attempted to stifle human progress.
*[[Charles Darwin]]-LaRouche believes that his teachings promote racism and racial supremacy.
*[[Victoria of the United Kingdom|Queen Victoria]] (Specifically, LaRouche accuses her of presiding over the [[British Empire]] during the [[Opium Wars]])
*[[Isaac Newton]] - LaRouche maintains that Newton was an alchemist, and that his study methods were unsound.
*[[David Hume]] (LaRouche objects to his support of [[Feudalism|Feudal]]/[[Fascism|Fascist]] dictatorship, and the moral relativism he used to back it up).
*[[John Locke]] (LaRouche regards him as a spokesman for an aristocratic form of society, and opponent of the [[American Revolution]])
*[[Tomás de Torquemada]]
*[[Arthur Schopenhauer]] - LaRouche believes his [[pessimism]] leads to [[nihilism]] and subsequent social decay, and that his [[Romanticism]] influenced [[Fascism]].
*[[Richard Wagner]] (LaRouche considers [[Richard Wagner|Wagner]] to be a Satanist, and that his dramatic and visceral musical style was a precursor to [[Jazz]], [[Country music|Country]] and [[Rock and Roll]], all of which he considers thought-stopping and ultimately [[Pornography|pornographic]] tools of social manipulation)
*[[Olof Palme]], prime minister of Sweden, assassinated in 1986. The LaRouche movement claimed that [[Olof Palme]] was a CIA and a KGB agent, that he was involved in global drug business, and that he struggled for Sweden to join the Soviet Union. Several members of the Swedish branch of the LaRouche movement, the [[European Workers Party]], were interrogated in the police investigation of the murder.
*[[Jimmy Carter]], though LaRouche has spoken favorably about some of his recent activities.
