Whatever LaRouche may have been, his supporters were certifiably nuts. I saw and encountered them on campus and in airports in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. You couldn't talk sense with them. They were mentally obsessed. When the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) was in the news, they postured as being supporters. Their display tables had a big banner reading "Splatter Russian bomb guts all over space!" I stopped to talk with them, mentioning that I was working on SDI. It was like they were deaf. They spent their time berating me to support SDI. There is something wrong with a political movement that cannot accept "yes" for an answer.
That was then. Many of the group’s analysis is making sense. I am leaning towards the idea that LaRouche may have been “submarined” by the “government.” Consider all the Americans whose ideas or patents were bought off, lambasted or they were permanently silenced. Think of all the cancer cures. Think of Tesla.
You would have to spell out which analyses make sense. My encounters with them face-to-face were with demented people, with wild, unsubstantiated assertions. No evidence of him being "submarined." Not everyone has a tolerance for wild ideas, no matter how passionately they may be advocated. I don't know of all the cancer cures. But I do know that there is nothing to hope for from Tesla's later life. (I've been waiting on that one for half a century, and Dr. John Trump's assessment is the end of the story.)
