Latest From The Worldwide LaRouche Youth Movement

The Democrats' New Suit

by Niko Paulson, LaRouche Youth Movement

Like the little boy in Hans Christian Andersen's famous story, the LaRouche Youth Movement (LYM) appears to be the only ones left on Capitol Hill who are unafraid to tell the truth. As Lyndon LaRouche has stressed on many occasions, the Congress's recent foolish behavior, first in allowing the U.S. auto sector to be gutted, and now with their nearly unanimous support for Israel in what could become World War III, threatens to bring on the collapse of civilization.

This failure, especially on the part of the Democrats, can be largely attributed to the malignant influence of Felix Rohatyn, as this has been documented in EIR. The LYM's organizing has become increasingly focussed on removing this corrupting influence.

The following cases will give a glimpse into an aspect of a political process which we are shaping....
