Thanks for the link on La Rouche. I first discovered the existence of the LaRouche organization in about 1987 when I settled in California. I was looking at what appeared an ordinary calender and saw some rather peculiar views on history. Intrigued, I saw where the calender was manufactured and followed the links back to the publisher. This was all before the internet of course. I'm half Irish and discovered that there was more then one interpretation of history at an early age, about 12 yrs. I met my first cousin from the Republic of Ireland, and his first words of introduction (and I kid you not, were "You English Bastards"). On request of further explanation he gave a rapid description of everything he learnt in IRISH history. We are on much better terms these days thankfully. The Northern Irish troubles covered most of our teenage years and beyond. Anyway, the actual course of history taught at British schools is fairly good these days and also during my school years. You are taught about slavery and the opium wars and a lot of things that didn't go so well during the Empire years. All in all, it's fairly balanced. Most important of all it accepts that there is more then one interpretation of history. That is the principle difference incidentelly between a bunch of fascists, communists, off the wall crazed lunatics, and civilization imho. The important bit is to try and discover the truth rather then shovel a strict (and politically biased) agenda that is little more then propaganda. For example during my fathers English schooldays in the 1930's, each schoolboy was taught that one englishman was worth nine foreigners. It was the tail end of the Empire days I guess. All historical facts were then built from that initial principle. Most kids of that time rebelled against such a lunatic perversion of history, and that is how we progressed to a better understanding of the world today. The LaRouch organization needs to study a little British history. They really don't have much of a grip on the role played by British Royalty. In particular they need to study Cromwell. en.wikipedia.org That guy gets a lot of bad press, including from Irish quarters, Royalty, and lots of people who have not studied history properly, but he was a hard working dedicated person who did much to establish democracy in it's best and present form. I put LaRouche in the same frame as this guy. Publishing empires.. en.wikipedia.org Murdoch calls up the British government now and again and gives them advice of what they should be doing next, otherwise he will use his press campaigns to vote them out of office. So anyways the Roosevelt family were always good pals with the Brits, even when they were being bad boys and "The Royal Family" were the world first big drugs cartel. mapinc.org World War one killed the British Empire in its tracks. 1914 we ruled the world. 1918 we were totally whacked, it's just it took about another 10 years or so for everyone to realise it. I think much of the LaRouche literature needs to update it's self of this fact. Here is another version (in case you have not seen it) of events on WW1. Just as chilling as any version of history these days. video.google.com I wonder if Robert Newman is a secret member of the La Rouche organization? He has plenty of "foreigner" in his background -g- He does a great send up of Tony Blair though -lol-
