Exonerate LaRouche for a Global Economic Renaissance
In a 1995 letter to Janet Reno, former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark stated unequivocally that “I believe [the LaRouche case] involves a broader range of deliberate and systematic misconduct and abuse of power over a longer period of time in an effort to destroy a political movement and leader, than any other federal prosecution in my time or to my knowledge.”
Former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark, who filed the appeal to LaRouche’s fraudulent conviction in 1989. The appeal was filed with an amicus curiae ("friend of the court") brief signed by 141 U. S. lawyers from all sections of the political spectrum.
In his August 1995 testimony to an independent hearing on Department of Justice corruption, Lyndon LaRouche issued an ominous warning that “...until we remove from our system of government a rotten permanent bureaucracy which acts like contract assassins using the authority of the justice system to perpetrate assassination, this country is not free nor anyone in it.”
Precisely as LaRouche had warned almost thirty years ago, “trial by media” witch-hunts followed by prosecutorial harassment has now become a standard mode of silencing and eliminating political opponents at the hands of a thoroughly corrupted American financial/corporate establishment and its intelligence community enforcers. Although most Americans are now quite familiar with more recent such abuses by the F.B.I., the Justice Department and news media in the array of attacks on former President Donald Trump as well as those on many other Americans of lesser notability, far fewer Americans are aware of the actual precedent that created this state of affairs, namely the years-long attacks on Lyndon LaRouche at the hands of a coordinated “Get LaRouche” task force.
Although the drive to silence LaRouche goes as far back to at least 1973, the effort was escalated in 1982 as LaRouche’s activities and policy initiatives began to seriously threaten those of Henry A. Kissinger. Accordingly, Kissinger sent a letter directly to FBI Director William Webster (below) demanding action be taken against LaRouche. Perhaps most horrifying, however, was the precedent that the LaRouche case set in establishing a coordinated effort of private bankers, private organizations, and major news media outlets in collusion with government law enforcement and intelligence agencies, all in a concerted effort to eliminate a political opponent.
Kissinger’s now-notorious “Dear Bill” letter to FBI Director [William] Webster demanding action be taken against LaRouche.
From 1983 on, a series of such meetings took place at the home of Wall Street banker John Train—meetings which included a collection of 25 journalists, Anti-Defamation League officials and government agents—where a string of libelous slander against LaRouche was mapped out. The resulting systematic media slander campaigns against LaRouche then provided pretext-cover for the FBI's launching of a national security probe of the LaRouche organization (precisely as Kissinger had demanded) under the guidelines of the George H.W. Bush-inspired Executive Order 12333 authorizing extrajudicial actions to be taken by the intelligence community against any individuals deemed as threats to “national security.”
The initial trial against LaRouche and his associates in Boston in 1988 ended in a mistrial after the presiding judge ordered a search of then-Vice President George H.W. Bush’s files after a document had been discovered in which Oliver North and other such spooks of the so-called “Iran-Contra” apparatus had been ordered to target LaRouche on behalf of the “Get LaRouche” task force. A later judge, Robert Keeton, found that the Boston prosecution had engaged in “systemic and institutional prosecutorial misconduct.” LaRouche and his associates were only able to be railroaded into jail via a change in venue from Boston to the so-called “rocket docket” of the Eastern District of Virginia, notorious as the preferred venue of the U.S. intelligence community.
The shocking details of this unprecedented abuse of a combined news media, Department of Justice and Wall Street collaboration to silence political opposition can be reviewed in the video below, as well as studied in-depth in the 600 page book Railroad! U.S.A. vs. Lyndon LaRouche, et al. available online from the Executive Intelligence Review store.
