Editor's note: These postings predicted three years ago the boomer purge, and identified the LaRouchian printing company World Comp (the anonymous writer meant both World Composition Services, a typesetting firm, and PMR Printing) as the weak point in LaRouche's money-making empire. Although the writer did not identify himself, he did refer to his communications with Michael Scott Winstead, an ex-LYM member and freelance writer who is a public opponent of LaRouche.
The anonymous writer urged, as a means of weakening the LaRouche movement, that a campaign be launched to alert legitimate non-LaRouchian clients of World Comp that they were doing business with a cult. I have no information to indicate that such a campaign was ever conducted. In the event, it was LaRouche himself who--ignoring the repeated protestations of the late Ken Kronberg--destroyed his own key businesses by diverting their revenues to pay for his egomaniacal political schemes and his wife Helga's lavish life style.
In spite of this caveat, the postings below are evidence of the credibility of FactNet's anti-LaRouche message board (many other postings from which are, or soon will be, available in an accessible and annotated form on this web site) as a conduit for useful information from persons close to (or discontented persons still inside) the LaRouche organization, especially in the Leesburg, Va. area.--DENNIS KING

Hi Scott,
Glad to hear from you again.
I e-mailed you before from my personal yahoo e-mail (m*****_****)....
The org is taking the "do not respond" approach to this forum.
About the org, the yoot movement was launched as a last-ditch effort to save the printing company WorldcComp.
Ken Kronberg, who runs the printing company, took out loans and expanded the printing co. in order to get more business.
It was an old org trick: Get people to contribute money...and use that money to start a business (printing, real estate, etc.), and use people who joined to movement to work in the businesses for nearly free.
The business plan didn't go, and the org started having major financial problems--at least more major than before.
EIR stopped being mailed out, and EIW was started to convert EIR subscribers over to EIW since the org could no longer afford to mail out EIR.
However, World Comp must be saved at any cost, which is why members' stipends were cannibalized to start up the "yoot" movement [the LaRouche Youth Movement--DK].
LHL [LaRouche] needed people to go out and get money for the org (especially World Comp), primarily by selling EIR and pamphlets.
If you want to take down the org, you must take down the printing company--World Comp. World Comp does do normal jobs for other businesses, and the profit from this helps to subsidize the org significantly.
The best way [is] to alert all of World Comp's ordinary clients that the profit World Comp gets from them is being used to run a criminal cult.
Once World Comp starts losing its clients, the org will die a natural death as a result of its debts, etc.
World Comp is quite well-known [in] the VA-DC area. The connection between World Comp and the cult must be made clear to World Comp's client base.
I was in the org and talked with people at a level higher up than Tom [a LaRouche defender who was posting on FactNet--DK]. LHL is desperate to save World Comp. This is where all the pamphlets, etc. come from, and the yoots...need the pamplets, EIR, etc. to go out and sell. Without the lit, they will have nothing to sell...and won't be able to raise any money.
The org can't afford to have a third-party printer do their printing for them.
This is how you take down LHL: by taking away World Comp's clients. Make sure you tell this to that reporter, and make sure that reporter makes it clear why no one should do any business with World Comp.
The ball is in your court, Scott...do it for the sake of those youths.

World Comp is the only operation that is/was profitable in the LHL org. It has helped them thru a lot of hard times. Take World Comp's clients away, and the yoot movement will die. They are having problems paying out that lousy $50 a week as it is.

Basically, what is going on in the org today is that most of the boomers are being replaced with cheap labor (i.e. the yoots).
Fearless Leader is merely repeating what he did last time...replace the current used-up crop with fresh warm bodies.
The boomers of the org today are up to their noses in debt (i.e. can't take on any more new debt to give to LHL and his housewife [Helga Zepp LaRouche--DK]).
Furthermore, every now and then, a boomer here or there will get sick and might expect the org to help pay the medical bills.
And though they forego having kids in order to devote themselves to the cult, but with increasing age, they can't stay awake and serve the German housewife for 18 hours [a day] anymore.
So the plan is to get rid of all unnecessary fat--i.e. most of the boomers. A few will be kept in the stables--such as Steinberg, Spannaus, etc.
The rest will have a big sales quota on their heads, and their stipends cut if they--naturally--don't meet their quotas.
Without stipends, they'll be forced to leave the org and get a job as a substitute teacher or do real estate sales.
LHL got rid of people of his own generation and replaced them with the boomers in the early days. Today, it is [the] boomers' turn.
The boomers got fat, so they are being replaced with yoots who could sleep four in a room, etc., and just eat bread and drink pipe water.
