LaRouche brings message of impending financial doom to Alabama

MONTGOMERY, Ala. - Democratic presidential candidate Lyndon LaRouche, who has made seven losing runs for the White House, said Friday he is more interested in spreading his message of impending financial doom than in winning elections.

"We are facing the worst financial collapse in more than a century. We are already in the crumbling phase," the 81-year-old LaRouche said at news conference. He said the continuing rise of oil and gas prices could trigger such a collapse.

He was joined at a news conference by Amelia Boynton Robinson, active in the 1965 Selma-to-Montgomery Voting Rights March and a longtime LaRouche supporter.

Robinson talked about how hard activists in Selma worked in the 1960s to obtain the right to vote for blacks. She said she believes LaRouche is prepared to work like that to fix the country's problems.

"We have a man here who is to me endowed by God," Robinson said. "You will find that you just can't understand how he knows so much about everything."

The Democratic Party has distanced itself from LaRouche, partly because of the five years he spent in prison after a federal conspiracy conviction. LaRouche, an economist, says the conviction was part of a conspiracy by the government against him and his followers.

LaRouche was in Montgomery to attend meetings of the Alabama Democratic Conference and the New South Coalition, predominantly black political organizations.

He said if he becomes president he would initiate programs similar to those of President Franklin Roosevelt during the Great Depression

Concerning the war in Iraq, LaRouche said President Bush needs to bring together a coalition of countries from the region, like Armenia, Turkey, Syria and Egypt to work as partners with the U.S. to rebuild Iraq. He said the war is preventing the U.S. from dealing with its economic problems.

"The Middle East war makes us helpless to do anything," LaRouche said.

He called President Bush "the dumbest president in history" and said presumed Democratic nominee John Kerry is a "terrible candidate."

LaRouche is on the Democratic primary ballot for president in Alabama along with Kerry and U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio.
