米大統領民主予備選ラルーシュがメディア封殺破り資金集め1位快報は情勢の反映

　転送、転載、引用、訳出、大歓迎！

　私は、911事件直後、最初は阿修羅戦争掲示板への匿名「ドメル将軍」投稿（下記の亜空間通信114号参照。ただし、そこで「韋駄天」としたのは誤解で「阿修羅」）により、アメリカに77歳の「怪人」、リンドン・ラルーシュありとの情報を得て、「文は人なり」の原則に基づく情報探索に基づき、以下の特集リンクのごとく、いくつかの通信を発してきた。

　しかし、今年、2003年に入ってからは、イラク攻撃への動きが激しくなり、ラルーシュ研究の時間が取れなかった。少しは前兆となる記事を見てはいたが、このところ、急速に、アメリカでの来年の大統領選挙に向ける動きが報道され始め、そこへ、以下の情報が入った。これはまさに「快報」と呼ぶべき情報である。

　簡単に言うと、民主党の9人の有力立候補者の中で、ラルーシュ、またはラルーシュの運動体が、最高の数の献金者から、最高の金額（一人の献金額に制限あり）を集め、民主党内でもテレヴィ討論会への出席を求める声高しというのである。

　記事の最後には、ラルーシュだけが、現副大統領のチェイニーに対抗できるとか、経済に強いとか、私がこれまでに評価してきた点が、強調されている。

　これらはすべて、911以後の情勢の反映と評価できる。イスラエルへの強烈な批判者であり、それゆえに、アメリカのメディアでは「極右」扱いのラルーシュの躍進は、わが勝利でもある。私は、わが眼力に狂いはないと自負する。

LaRouche Campaign, Leading in Contributors, Breaks Blackout

by Paul Gallagher

News of the Federal Election Commission's (FEC) April report, showing Lyndon LaRouche with more campaign contributors than any of the nine other Democratic Presidential candidates, has "let loose the fox among the chickens" in the race for the Democratic nomination, as LaRouche's campaign is breaking the blackout and containment which the media and Democratic National Committee were trying to keep around it. Despite "frontrunner" Sen. John Kerry's reported attempt to downplay the news by assuring that he has "more deep-pocket contributors," LaRouche's more than 40,000 contributions from over 18,000 individuals show that he has broader and more active support than any of the nine media-recognized candidates in this otherwise timid and nearly invisible primary election campaign. This is big news internationally, in all the countries where LaRouche's New Bretton Woods and Eurasian Land-Bridge anti-depression policies are well known. And the spreading reports of it, beginning to break the anti-LaRouche blackout policy of the U.S. media, are of great interest to those political factions in the United States which are opposing the imperial "perpetual war" policies now dominating the Bush Administration.

State, Local Leaders: Let LaRouche in Debate

South Carolina media reported on April 29 that the state's Democratic Party chairman had received a letter from nearly 40 current and former Democratic elected officials asking that LaRouche be invited to the May 3 Presidential debate in Columbia (see box). The Democratic leaders - roughly half from South Carolina and the other half from other states, joined by former Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders- pointed out LaRouche's lead in contributors over the other Democratic candidates invited to the debate, from which the party was excluding him. "It's outrageous. It's stupid" that LaRouche has not been invited, campaign spokeswoman Dr. Debra Freeman was quoted in a statewide AP wire. "The Democratic Party in the state of South Carolina has long been under the influence of Don Fowler," she said, adding that the campaign did not plan legal action. "We will continue doing what we have been doing, and take the campaign directly to the people."

On April 30, the South Carolina Democratic leadership still refused to invite LaRouche. But as coverage of this intervention spread from South Carolina ABC affiliates and the state's radio networks, to dozens of local papers via a statewide AP wire, to the very widely read national political Internet site, "The Drudge Report," to the C-SPAN national political cable network's "Washington Journal" program on April 30, and then to the Washington Times newspaper on May 1, some national press and media began to warily circle around the new development, which many wanted to bury but some wanted to cover. A national AP wire on May 2 appeared in many newspapers, citing LaRouche's $3.7 million raised. ABC-TV's national network dropped live coverage of the May 3 debate, none of whose nine participants, with LaRouche excluded, generate any measurable interest among the electorate.

More Democratic leaders are now signing the letter which originated in South Carolina, and the demand is being raised to include LaRouche in upcoming candidates debates and fora in Iowa, Wisconsin, and Ohio. On May 1, LaRouche's Presidential campaign released figures showing that he is number-one in contributors in those three states, and also outdistances all other candidates in the total amount of campaign funds raised from residents of Iowa, Wisconsin, and Ohio. In Iowa, for example, fundraising by "leading" candidate Rep. Dick Gephardt (Mo.), who won that state's primary in 2000, is "anemic," with only three contributors and $1,000 raised, wrote The Hill, a Washington political weekly. "Although the race for the Presidency is still in its early stage, first-quarter filings are significant for campaigns, because they demonstrate the viability of a candidate. Financial support from such early-decision states as Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina is especially important." LaRouche has raised over $24,000 from 43 Iowa residents.

LaRouche also has the only coherent and growing corps of youthful campaigners - the LaRouche Youth Movement - among the candidates, who are otherwise unable to reach and mobilize the apparently apolitical "no future generation." During April's final weekend and the first days of May, the LaRouche Youth held "schools" in Los Angeles, Seattle, and Baltimore, addressed by the candidate and attended by hundreds of "cadre." The LaRouche Youth have waged war since February against the Democratic National Committee's "LaRouche exclusion rule," cooked up in 1996 by the DNC's then-Chairman, Southern conservative Donald Fowler, and enforced by repeating the discredited anti-LaRouche slanders in the media.

As of the first of May, upcoming scheduled debates still had not invited LaRouche, but as the candidate told one newspaper, the DNC would either have to end the exclusion policy, or it would take them down. There is no popular interest in the other Democratic candidates, because none of them is a serious opposition to the policies of Vice President Cheney's imperial warhawks; and because with most Americans focussed on the plunging U.S. economy, none but LaRouche knows any more about an economic recovery, than did Herbert Hoover in 1932. The South Carolina letter signers' demand for "the FDR recovery policy" represented by LaRouche, is the sign of what has made him, as of now, the most-supported Presidential candidate in the Democratic 2004 race.
