Lyndon LaRouche's German connections
Decades of intelligence gathering, dirty tricks, ultranationalist propaganda--and revanchist policy proposals
Why is the family of Jeremiah Duggan finding it so difficult to persuade the German government to launch a criminal investigation of Jeremiah's death? Some observers believe the problem may have its roots in the LaRouche organization's historic (and possibly ongoing) relationship to German and other Western European security services and far-right political networks. Here are several documents (with more to come) that allude to LaRouche's German national-security (and ultra-nationalist) connections in past decades. I urge ex-LaRouchians to make public additional documentation and to write up what they know from personal experience or hearsay about the organization's links to agencies that might be acting to cover up the Duggan case. (Such agencies may be worried that a criminal investigation would bring to light embarrassing facts about their own past or present clandestine cooperation with Hitler wannabe LaRouche. And perhaps--just perhaps--the central concern is not over how Jeremiah Duggan died but how Olof Palme was killed...)
EIR special report (1986) on the German Green Party and peace movement. This report, which also appeared in German and was prepared by the EIR bureau in Wiesbaden, strongly suggests that the LaRouche intelligence apparatus in Europe was functioning (among other things) as an unofficial wing of the German security services and as a mouthpiece for ultra-nationalist circles.
Former West German military counterintelligence chief backs LaRouche one hundred percent. Testimony of Brig. Gen. (ret.) Paul-Albert Scherer at Sept. 1987 ICLC-sponsored hearing in Virginia to defend LaRouche against prosecution. Says the KGB is out to get LaRouche because he's in the forefront of the fight for the "values of the advanced culture of Western civilization" and is a "first-order personal obstacle" to the Soviets' plans to exterminate the West. Alleges that as early as the 1970s, "experts were amazed at [LaRouche's] connections and his access to special information on terrorism, the drug scene, the intelligence services themselves, and on the details of developments in the Eastern bloc countries and in the Middle East." Scherer also states: "In keeping with my duties as a bearer of state secrets...I asked around to friendly intelligence services and in political circles, before I took up any direct contact with the LaRouches. The fact that I did take it up, and can speak publicly about it here, says enough..."
LaRouche the fantasy-Hitler announces plan (1987) to dominate the planet. When a notorious anti-Semite and fan of the Third Reich's Wehrmacht schedules a conference in Munich (of all places), invites Bundeswehr officers and defense contractors, urges them to develop a new generation of "mass-killing" superweapons that can "dominate this planet," and warns that "we had better move quickly, before it is too late," this can only be interpreted in one way. (And note that one of LaRouche's co-speakers, Brig. Gen. (ret.) Jobst Rohkamm, calls for formation of new commando units based on Wehrmacht experience on the Eastern front.) But we should be grateful for little things: At least Lyn didn't hold the event in a beer hall.
