?
It is well known that the assassinations, particularly? those of
1960's? in the United States, removed critical voices for positive
American policies, and eliminated qualified leadership??for the future
of the world.? One by one, John F. Kennedy (1963),? Malcolm X (1965),
Martin Luther King (1968), Robert Kennedy, (1968), Fred Hampton
(1969), and others whose names are not as well known, were struck
down.??
But during those post-World War II years, the court system,
together with?jackals in the media also played a critical role in
suppressing American ingenuity and leadership? Thus McCarthyism of the
50s turned to FBI entrapment by Abscam and Brilab in the 70's to the
complaints of the McDade Murtha bill in 1998, to the Straussian idea
of using the "big lie" to the present.
The political prosecution of Lyndon LaRouche and his associates,
ending with the conviction of LaRouche in 1998, and his five years of
incarceration, was seen internationally as an attempt to silence a
critical voice in American politics and science.? The? Kafkaesque
trials of LaRouche's close associates including current EIR Asian
editor, Michael Billington -- who spent 10 years in maximum security?
in the Virginia prison system -- is a story unto itself.
Hear Billington, author of "Reflections of An American Political
Prisoner" speak about these cases and the "weaponization of the
courts" , and its consequences, this Friday night? at 8 pm on Diane
Sare's New York Symposium.? The program is entitled:? ?"The
LaRouche Trials and the Weaponization of the No Justice Justice System
-- What to Do About it Today".??
