The Popular Pits of Current Superstition: The Dance of the Bio-Fools  

by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.

“My associates,” he writes, “are currently producing a more than adequate body of first-pass evidence, in exposing crucial aspects of that bio-fuel fraud which has also taken over the minds of relevant dupes within the Congress and some state legislatures. In this present location, my own task is to add something of deeper relevance, going qualitatively beyond the necessary tasks which my associates are fulfilling. My duty in that, is to introduce the subject of a deep quality of heathen immorality, an immorality which the bio-fuel hoax reflects in the corrupted manner of the thinking which has been induced by current cultural trends, among many dupes from among today’s world’s population generally.”

Appendix: The Fallacy of the Equant  

by Jason Ross

“All comprehensive notions of a competent modern physical science,” LaRouche writes, “are implicitly embedded in the implications of the problematic nature of the assumption of the equant.” Jason Ross of the LaRouche Youth Movement, a leading participant in the LYM’s ”Kepler Project," provides an outline of this concept.
