, 16 Friday, April 25, 1986 THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS CLOSE-UP LaRouche Continued from preceding page a 1978 article in the NCLC publi- cation New Solidarity, LaRouche wrote, "Israel is ruled from Lon- don as a psychosis through which London manipulates most of the international Jewry.' In describ- ing Zionism as 'a hideous cult,' LaRouche went on to allege that the Nazis 'only' killed 'about a million and a half Jews and as- serted that Hitler had been put into power largely with the back- ing of certain Jewish financial interests. "In more recent years, LaRouche and his organization have pub- lished wild charges linking Is- rael, prominent Jews and Jewish organizations, particularly the ADL, to underworld conspiracies involving drug trafficking and political assassinations." LaRouche's ideology has made a prominent place for the incor- poration of strong anti-Semitic themes into the grand' conspiracy he claims steers world events. As part of that, he has established ties with organizations that pro- mote racial hatred and anti- Semitism, including the Ku Klux Klan and the Liberty Lobby. LaRouche has made claims that Jewish organizations and prominent *members of the Jewish community deal in por- nography and are linked to in- ternational terrorism and crimi- saturday • april 26th, 1-4 p.m. also informal modeling nal violence. He has said there is a "kernel of truth" to the Pro- tocols of the Elders of Zion and has alleged that "Jews were largely responsible for bringing Hitler to power and that the Nazi Holocaust is one of the "hoaxes produced by the ,Zionist de- magogue." His program contains many elements of neo-Nazism includ- ing a call for the immediate elimination of "Jewish influence in business, government and labor," a deinand for a permanent special prosecutors' office to try Jews for treason, and a desire for the Germanophobic remodeling of American culture. His publications are filled with things such as a theory of cultural/biological racism which divides humanity into superior and inferior ,people, with Jews singled out as an especially weak subhuman group and advocacy of massive government repression against Jews. Through. it all, however, LaRouche has maintained that he's not anti-Semitic, only anti- Zionist, and that he's just trying to warn America of the imminent disaster that will only be averted if we accept his leadership. That's the constant.

State party chairman Rick Wiener told The Jewish News this week he expects LaRouche candidates to run in nine or ten Michigan Congressional races. In addition, LaRouche backer Hank Wilson of Detroit is gathering petition signatures to run in the Democratic primary against Governor James Blanchard. "We are going to make Sure that everybody they run aginst wins," Wiener said vehemently. "We'll challange any illegalities, and where they get on the ballot legally we will 'do everything we can to make sure our mainstream candidates win." In 1984, Michigan Democrats successfully challanged in court the signature-gathering tactics of the LaRouchites. According to Brian Wittman of the State Elec- tion Division in Lansing, the courts threw out many LaRouche candidates' petitions because out-of-state circulators gathered the signatures. At the end of each day, the petitions were given to a Michigan resident who signed the petitions as circulator, a vio- lation of state election statutes. One Senate candidate and five Congressional candidates were invalidated. In recent weeks, gubernatorial candidate Wilson and Congres- sional candidate Steven Carr have been circulating petitions in Waterford Township. There have been several complaints by 'Waterford area residents, includ- ing a Jewish News employee, who were called drug users by LaRouche circulators when they refused to sign. An aide to Congressman Bob Carr (D-6th District) pointed out that Steven Carr, of Royal Oak, lives outside the district, but state law does not prevent him from running there. The 6th Dis- trict extends through Oakland and Ingham counties, from Pon- tiac to East Lansing. "I don't think the LaRouche candidates can be ignored," said Oakland County Democratic chairman Mary Ryan Taras. "That was the problem in Illinois. We will have to go after them if they get the petition signatures to be placed on the ballot." She said Michigan candidacies of LaRouche supporters will not have the success in Michigan that they had in Illinois "because the surprise is gone. They are so kooky, all they need is a little publicity to expose them. If LaRouche gives one more press conference it will be the end of them. "I'm not a fan of (White House Chief of Staff) Don Regan," Mrs. Taras said, "but I can't believe he's the biggest _dope pusher in the country" as LaRouche claims.
