‘The Woman on Mars’
by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.

A webcast speech by Democratic Presidential pre-candidate Lyndon LaRouche in Washington, D.C. on Jan. 10, 2004. “The whole campaign, as run by ‘the others,’ is one vast lie,” he said. “They have said absolutely nothing, of any substantive relevance, to the issues that face the nation now.

D.C. Primary ‘Vote’ Was a Whiff of Hell
by Lonnie Wolfe and Nancy Spannaus
The announced outcome, Howard Dean and Al Sharpton coming out far in the lead, with LaRouche’s vote coming in far below the so-called major candidates, simply defied political reality—including pre-election polls that showed both LaRouche and Sharpton running at about 20% of the vote.
