In March 2009 Lyndon LaRouches magazine, EIR; publiced a new study: `Britain's Dope, Inc.: Marker for Humanity's New Dark Age'. http://www.larouchepub.com/pr/2009/090302eir_dope_inc.html
In the press release for the study, the EIR says that the new study follows the "method" that was established in 1978, under the leadership of Lyndon H. LaRouche, with the publication of the book "Dope Inc":
"Conceptually, EIR's approach continues the method outlined in its breakthrough 1978 book, "Dope, Inc.," which elaborated in historical depth, how the British Empire—now transformed into the globalized Anglo-Dutch financial system—imposed the drug trade, from the top down, in the interest of maintaining its political control over the world's population."
Now that Dope Inc is being recycled it is important to look at the method used in the Dope Inc, especially since the authors say it was so groundbreaking!
Well, lets look at it!
The oaths!
Two known forgeries were picked up and used by the authors of Dope Inc: The "Protocols of the elders of Sion" and the so called "Jesuit Oath"/"Knight of Columbus Oath".
These forgeries were used as a proof that a great conspiracy exists, and existed, to enslave humanity. A conspiracy run by "oligarchs, especially British oligarchs, and their errand boys, like the "order of Sion" and Catholic Orders...
"The Order of Zion was simply the Jewish division of the Most Venerable Order of St. John of Jerusalem, the London-centered chivalric order and secret society, whose members swear — and act on — a blood oath. A secret meeting in Paris in 1884 yielded the famous minutes of the Order, published under the title: Protocols of the elders of Sion. The minutes were intercepted and published by the Russian counterintelligence service, the Okhrana. The question of the authenticity of the Protocols has been a matter of fierce, even hysterical dispute. The question may be settled with dispatch by a textual comparison between the oaths of the Order of Zion printed in the Protocols, and the blood-curdling oaths sworn by initiates into the fourth Grade of the Knights of Columbus of Mexico, which maintains close ties to the Jesuits and to the Order of St. John of Jerusalem, which reads in part as follows:
(...)
"I promise and declare that I will, when the opportunity presents itself to me, wage war without quarter, secretly or openly, against all the heretics, Protestant and Mason, such as I may be ordered to do, in order to extirpate them from the face of earth, and I will not take into account either age, sex or station, and I will hang, burn, strangle and bury alive those infamous heretics: I will cut open the stomachs and wombs of their women and smash the heads of the babies against the rocks and walls, in order to annihilate the execrable race; that when this cannot be done openly, I will secretly employ the poison cut, strangulation, the sword, dagger or bullet, without consideration for the honor, rank, dignity or authority of the persons, whatever their status in public or private life may be, such as I may be ordered at any time. . . .
If I manifest falsity or weakness in my determination, I consent that my brothers and comrade soldiers in the army of the Pope may cut off my hands, my feet and slit my throat from ear to ear. . . .
I promise to execute and fulfill this oath, in testimony whereof, I take this sacred sacrament of the Eucharist and affirm it even with my name written with the point of this dagger, drenched in my own blood and sealed in the presence of this holy sacrament. Amen."
The genealogy of a lie
Lets look at these forgeries!
The protocols of Sion is a known forgery, that antisemites has used for a hundred and twenty years. However, Lyndon LaRouche is perhaps the first person that has tried to recruit jews by using the protocols! (So mad is Lyndon LaRouche!)
The origin of the other forgery is less publicly known, but not less interesting.
The so called "Oath of the fourth Grade of the Knights of Columbus of Mexico" traces its roots almost 500 years back.
The phrase "I will hang, burn, strangle and bury alive those infamous heretics: I will cut open the stomachs and wombs of their women and smash the heads of the babies against the rocks and walls", etc, etc, was used first in the 1500s by protestants in their fight against the pope. (Admittedly the Catholics used similar slanders against the protestants, they were by no mean "better" than the protestants in this respect.) First it was claimed that the closest advisors of the pope took this oath. When the counterreformation started later that century it was said that its members, and the jesuits, took that oath.
I own a calvinst book, defending calvinism, written by Hugo Grotius in the early 1600s that used quotes like this, to prove that the jesuits were evil: inluding the last words: "written with the point of this dagger, drenched in my own blood".
In the 1800s this oath, called the secret "extreme jesuit oath" was used both by the Klu Klux Klan and by opponents of the Klan (!). In both instances to slander and dehumanize catholics but in the end of the century it was basicly only the KKK that used it, against catholics. Until 1900 it was only known as the extreme jesuit oath, or as the oath of the inquisition, but now it was described as the "Oath of the Knights of Columbus" too.
When John F. kennedy, who was a catholic, was attacked by opponents that used the "Oath", Time Magazine wrote this about it:
"Passed from hand to hand under tables, slipped under doors, sent anonymously through the mails, an old and notorious piece of anti-Catholic propaganda turned up last week in scattered cities and towns, mostly in the South. Part of a spreading anti-Catholic campaign against Presidential Candidate John F. Kennedy, the document purports to be the oath of the Knights of Columbus, a 1-million member-fraternal order of Roman Catholic men (Kennedy is a member).
Sample quote from one version of the fake oath: "I do further promise and declare that I will, when opportunity presents, wage relentless war, secretly and openly, against all heretics, Protestants, and Masons, as I am directed to do, to extirpate them from the face of the whole earth."
This fraud, like the bogus Protocols of the Elders of Zion used against the Jews, has been spread by bigots for almost half a century. It first turned up in a congressional election in 1912 in a lunatic-fringe tract mailed from Aurora, Mo. The following year, a congressional committee investigating unfair election practices condemned the oath as a fabrication.
At that time, the false oath was read into the Congressional Record, a fact that present day bigots cite to lend it an air of authenticity. Ku Klux Klanners circulated it against Al Smith in 1928.
It turned up again last spring during the West Virginia primary battle between Jack Kennedy and Hubert Humphrey. A scattering of clergymen have recently quoted it in sermons, and it has been printed in newsletters of Southern Baptist Churches in Rainelle, W. Va.; Phoenix, Ariz.; Greensboro, N.C.; and Knoxville, Tenn. One clergyman of the Nazarene Baptist Church, W. L. King, who quoted the oath and refused to retract when its fraud was pointed out to him, last week was charged with criminal libel in the magistrate's court at West View, Pa.
Full text of the actual "obligation" taken by members of the Knights of Columbus' top Fourth Degree: I swear to support the Constitution of the United States. I pledge myself, as a Catholic citizen and a Knight of Columbus, fully to enlighten myself upon my duties as a citizen and conscientiously perform them entirely in the interest of my country, regardless of all personal consequences. I pledge myself to do all in my power to preserve the integrity and purity of the ballot and to promote respect for law and order. I promise to practice my religion consistently and faithfully, and to so conduct myself in public affairs and in the exercise of public virtue as to reflect nothing but credit upon our Holy Church, to the end that She may flourish and our country prosper to the greater honor and glory of God. (Time magazine, August 29, 1960, p.15)
Conclusion!
That Lyndon LaRouche used a wellknown forgery, that was used by the KKK to slander catholics, like John F. Kennedy, in his "groundbreaking" study, Dope Inc, is important. This remains important even if the chapters with the forgeries have been removed from the editions of Dope Inc that was published after 1978.
The method of LaRouche is one of lies, slanders and forgeries, nothing else! And sometimes LaRouche and his followers use rethoric and "facts" that has been used by racists, religiousnfundamentalists, nazis, fascists, totalitarians and madmen of all centuries, to prove his case!
Really a nice "method", isnt it?
