-clip-. How fortunate for Mr. Bartley that LaRouche has turned his odd attention to the Straussian thing.

Now, he can play a game of rotating mirrors in which anyone who raises questions, including publications that have, mostly, been cooperating quite nicely with BushCo, can be called as misguided as we all know LaRouche to be.

^^^^^ CB: I've been meaning to say regarding the extensive discussion of the Straussian influence on the Bush regime through neo-conservatives that it seems a form of conspiracy theory analysis. I don't use "conspiracy theory" as a kneejerk pejorative, in the left and right wing current fashion. Some conspiracy theorizing is rightwing or other lunacy. Some is accurate exposure of the nefarious ways of the power structure. It is not so easy as to just dismiss all conspiracy theories. That's a lazy , overgeneralization. Anyway, if you wanted to find an ulterior motive for LaRouche to take up the Straussian thing, it could be that he knows that by taking it up he tends to discredit anyone else who does the same. So, like with the CIA running drugs in LA case, LaRouche took it up to silence those progressives who took it up, thereby covering up the truth of the fact that the CIA did run drugs in LA. In other words, LaRouche can discredit true discoveries, such as the uncovering of the Straussian cabal, by espousing it himself. Of course this is a doubly , triply thick conspiracy theory, spy vs spy vs spy....
