You'll find them at airports and shopping
centers selling newspapers and magaiines. They're
well-dressed and fast-talking. They plug economic
growth and nuclear power. They denounce drugs,
liberals and Ralph Nader. But appearances are
deceiving. These conservative-looking and talking
political salesmen are not conservatives-they're
pro-Soviet.
They masquerade as representatives of the Na-
tional Democratic Policy Committee, the New
Solidarity International Press Service (NSIPS), the
National Anti-Drug Coalition, the Fusion Enemy
Foundation- and the Executive Intelligence Review.
They used to operate as membes of the National
Caucus of Labor Committees (NCLC) and. the
U.S. Labor Party (USLP). All of these organi-
zations lead to one man-Lyndon H. LaRoucheJr.
LaRouche, a former member of the Trotskyite
Communist Socialist Workers party (SWP),
emerged as the leader of a faction of the Students
for a Democratic Society (SDS) in the late 1960s.
He built his group into a political intelligence net-
work with about one thousand- operatives stationed
in North America, Western Europe and South
America. These operatives tirelessly and mindless-
ly promote the bizarre conspiracy theories of
LaRouche, who ran as the USLP candidate for
President in 1976 and campaigned for the
Democratic nomination in 1980. '
