Civil Rights Leader Who Was One of Lyndon LaRouche Running Mates Dies
December 26th, 2008Rev. James L. Bevel died on December 19, in Springfield, Virginia. He was 72. See this obituary. He was by far the most famous person who ever ran for vice-president on Lyndon LaRouche’s ticket. LaRouche ran as a minor party or independent candidate for president in 1976, 1984, 1988, and 1992 (LaRouche also ran in Democratic presidential primaries in some of those years). Bevel was LaRouche’s 1992 running mate. That 1992 independent ticket polled 26,333 in the nation, but almost half those votes came from Virginia. The ticket received 11,937 votes in Virginia, or .47% of the total presidential vote in that state.

Unity 2008, CUIP, and Lyndon LaRauche: three entities which I do not have a clue concerning their essence! Total mysteries! Standing for every thing and standing for nothing. ‘Follow us folks, we are right behind you!”

Lyndon LaRouche................]
Lyndon Hermyle LaRouche, Jr.
September 8, 1922 (1922-09-08) (age 86)
Rochester, New Hampshire, United States
Occupation Activist
Political party U.S. Labor Party, Democratic
Spouse(s) Helga Zepp
Parents Jessie Lenore Weir (1893–1978)
Lyndon Hermyle LaRouche, Sr. (1896–1983)
Lyndon Hermyle LaRouche, Jr. (born September 8, 1922 in Rochester, New Hampshire) is a fringe political activist, and founder of several political organizations in the United States and elsewhere, known collectively as the LaRouche movement.
He has been a perennial candidate for President of the United States, having run in eight elections since 1976, once as a U.S. Labor Party candidate and seven times as a candidate for the Democratic Party nomination.
There are sharply contrasting opinions on LaRouche. His supporters regard him as a brilliant and original thinker, whereas critics variously see him as a conspiracy theorist and the leader of a political cult.[1] The Heritage Foundation has said that he “leads what may well be one of the strangest political groups in American history”.[2][3]
In 1984, LaRouche’s research staff was described by Norman Bailey, a former senior staffer of the National Security Council, as “one of the best private intelligence services in the world”.[3] In 2008, Russian economist Stanislav Menshikov described LaRouche as being “among those few economists who look at the root causes, and therefore see what others cannot see”.[4]
LaRouche was sentenced to 15 years imprisonment in 1988 for conspiracy to commit mail fraud and tax code violations, but continued his political activities from behind bars until his release in 1994 on parole.
His defense attorney, Ramsey Clark, a former U.S. Attorney General, argued that the case represented an unprecedented abuse of power by the U.S. government in an effort to destroy the LaRouche organizations.[5]
LaRouche and his defenders believe the prosecution was a politically motivated conspiracy involving government officials, numerous others, and a mass-media brainwashing campaign.[6]
LaRouche is currently listed as a director and contributing editor of the Executive Intelligence Review News Service, part of the LaRouche movement.[7]
He has written extensively on economic, scientific, and political topics as well as on history, philosophy, and psychoanalysis……….

At one time, during Lyndon LaRouche’s prison sentence, he shared a cell with James Bakker, defrocked televangelist.
Wouldn’t it have been fascinating to be a fly on the proverbial wall?
Interestingly, LaRouche’s next book, after release, was about religion.

MORE RIP: SAMUEL HUNNINGTON
Samuel Huntington, political scientist, dies at 81
The Associated Press
Published: Saturday, Dec. 27, 2008
BOSTON — Samuel Huntington, a political scientist best known for his views on the clash of civilizations, died Wednesday on Martha’s Vineyard, Harvard University announced Saturday. He was 81.
Huntington had retired from active teaching in 2007 after 58 years at Harvard. His research and teaching focused on American government, democratization, military politics, strategy, and civil-military relations.
He argued that in a post-Cold War world, violent conflict would come not from ideological friction between nations, but from cultural and religious differences among the world’s major civilizations.
He identified those civilizations as Western (including the United States and Europe), Latin American, Islamic, African, Orthodox (with Russia as a core state), and Hindu, Japanese, and “Sinic” (including China, Korea, and Vietnam).
He made the argument in a 1993 article in the journal Foreign Affairs, and then expanded the thesis into a book, “The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order,” which was published in 1996. The book has been translated into 39 languages.
In all, Huntington wrote 17 books including “The Soldier and the State: The Theory and Politics of Civil-Military Relations,” published in 1957 and inspired by President Harry Truman’s firing of Gen. Douglas MacArthur, and “Political Power: USA-USSR,” a study of Cold War dynamics, which he co-authored in 1964 with Zbigniew Brzezinski.
His 1969 book, “Political Order in Changing Societies,” analyzed political and economic development in the Third World.
“Sam was the kind of scholar that made Harvard a great university,” Huntington’s friend of nearly six decades, economist Henry Rosovsky said in a statement released by the university.
Huntington was born on April 18, 1927, in New York City. He received his B.A. from Yale in 1946, served in the U.S. Army, earned an M.A. from the University of Chicago in 1948, and a Ph.D. from Harvard in 1951.

Rev Bevel was not only Larouches’s Vp, he also played a big role in running a rehab of this convicted swindler, con man, tax evader and cult leader after he was paroled from prison. Bevel did for Laoruche the same thng he did for another convicted cult leader in Rev Moon. He basically presented Larouche as an innocent soul who is on par with Martin Luther King and was being persecuted instead of being convicted of hijacking 30 million dollars of his supporters money.
Bevel also played a role in dirty tricks run by the cult in a phony child molestation plot in Nebraska run by the cult with some locals. The Moonie Washington Times printed a front page story about child kidnapping and sex which somehow led to the White House and the GOP! The cult sent Rev Bevel with some of their people who then started “hearings” about this phony conspiracy and even published a book written by one of the local politicians.
Rev Bevel was considered very “strange” by many of the Larouche Cult members in Leesburg virgina at the time. Larouche ordered to cult to do anything for Bevel as he was important as a both a civil rights icon and Black to help the cult make more inroads into that target group.
Make no mistake, Bevel was a very sick and dangerous person who spent a lot of his latter years in the Mooonie and Larouche cults. HE was as twisted as those two are, and if the checks were not bouncing by the Laoruche cult, he would still be there.
It is almost impossible to calculate the damage he has done to his family and others. You can seperate his civil rights work, howver, when you read into this, people back then knew that he was crazed as well.
Like Larouche, Bevel had no shame, ghuilt or remorse over the immense harm he has caused others and was defiant to the very end when the “Guilty” verdict came in.
Bevel himself allowed his name to be used by the ex con Larouche who needed someone like Bevel to con blacks to support his lunacy. For a few bucks, Bevel helped Larouche a lot more then Laoruche ever did for Bevel.
