The Hypothesis of the Higher Hypothesis.

This book is full of the worst kind of nonsense. Lyndon LaRouche is portrayed as a comic book archvillain with a megalomaniacal desire for world domination. Read about how LaRouche plays both sides of virtually every issue, using dirty underhanded tactics, smear campaigns, and illegal fund raising methods, to get his way. LaRouche is painted as a type of cult leader wielding absolute authority over a group of his zombified henchmen. Basing his philosophy on an amalgam of German idealism (Leibniz, Kant, Hegel), Karl Marx, Plato's _Republic_, neoNazi antiSemitism, and his own homebrewed concocted conspiracy theory (viz. the Queen of England deals drugs)LaRouche's delusions appear to know of no bounds. The book details his involvement with the intelligence community (CIA, KGB), the Teamsters union, the KKK, Manuel Noriega, and other shady organizations. LaRouche's politics swung violently from Left to Right, typical of such fascist dictators as Mussolini. There are some interesting discussions of Plato's philosophy and education system, nuclear arms proliferation, nuclear fusion, the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), and LaRouche's crank economics theories. Throw into the pot racist doctrines, and antiSemitic (antiZionist) rhetoric. LaRouche certainly defies classification. All in all an interesting, and amusing book, about one of the most eccentric (and evil) of fringe political figures.

What really happened

Dennis King has given us a startling insight into right wing lunacy in Ameica and its interreaction with the greater community. Laouche used, and was used by, important contemporaries. There are few other sources that show the links between the radical right and the mainstream as well. They are not alone.cd. Timothy McVeigh.

Descent into the world of "pit creatures"

The abusive reviews of this book are obviously the work of LaRouche supporters. Although Lyn's organization is now a pitiful shell of its old, well-funded self, King's book remains an important reference for anyone concerned with the stinkier fringes of American politics.Unfortunately, however, the volume gives the reader little understanding of LaRouche's charisma or the personal history that must lie behind his more bizarre rantings -- especially his wierd psychosexual theories. His contempt/fear for women and his obsession with anal and fecal imagery makes it seem likely he is tormented by homosexual desire. LaRouche's identification with Socrates (making his followers attractive young Athenians in love with him) tends to confirm this. Perhaps another book on LaRouche remains to be written, ideally by someone qualified to dispense thorazine.In the meantime, King's account of the LaRouche group's shadowy connections and neo-Nazi ideology is the definitive study of a "little man" who puffed himself up to world-historical dimensions: a figure at once dangerous and absurd.

This book exposes the nazi threat to American society

This book exposes the threat to American society which is being imposed by Lyndon LaRouche and his cult of mindles zombies. Having been taken in by a one-time organizer of a faction within the Students for a Democratic Society, his followers blindly follow an ideology based on hate. The Jews are the object of the hatred...LaRouche follows a revisionist philosophy which denies the holocaust, denounces rock n roll and calls for a neo-European society. Therefore,it all leads to the idea of neo-Naziism in America.King is exhorting the readers to wake up to stop the nonsense that leads to genocide the world over...Of course this book should be required as part of a classroom curriculum.

The single best book of this kind there is.

It is rare when someone is able to so profoundly understand how a politically subversive man and his organization can infiltrate into American life. If we learn anything from Dennis King, it is that American liberty can be used for good and it is vulnerable to those who would destroy it. In the latter case, the only remedy is for Americans to understand and to take action against men like Lyndon LaRouche and his fanatical followers. Particularly important in Lyndon LaRouches and the New American Fascism is a magnificent analysis of the "code" language that is used by these fanatics to confuse the public, while communicating with others who are like-minded. Dennis King ought to be commended for great effort to protect the Constitution and the American republic!
