He was considered a conspiracy theorist and a crackpot. Some of his beliefs:
Quote:
"In addition to his thoughts about the United Kingdom and its queen (he believed she was a drug dealer), LaRouche espoused other bizarre theories that managed to encompass extreme elements of both the left and the right, including that:
Jews control the pornography trade, and the Holocaust was a hoax.
Wall Street is a cancer.
Only the restraining influence of the U.S. military has prevented successive presidents from launching a nuclear war.
People with the HIV virus that causes AIDS should be quarantined from the rest of the population.
Global warming is a fraud.
The United Nations, the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank are antithetical to the Platonic ideal of a "perfectly sovereign nation-state republic."
And so forth."
Bizarre theories? He did have some, like the queen dealing dope (she IS a dope). It sounds like most of these were right on target though.
