By age 17-18, in 1940, a Quaker committee is set to look at LL, LL been in trouble at Quaker meetings for slandering other members, and re some financial dealings, re smears, angry innuendoes and what looked like anti-Semitic remarks, the Quakers disowned him by 1941, his family also left the Quakers.

. A US analyst of right-wing groups is John Foster "Chip" Berlet born 1949, a former VP of Nationl Lawyers Guild, investigative journo into US right-wing movements, religious right, white supremacists, homophobic groups and paramilitary organisations, is a senior analyst at Political Research Associates, a non-profit group based in Somerville, Mass. Berlet writes, Right-Wing Populism in America, too close for comfort. He did one story, "War on Drugs: The Strange Story of Lyndon LaRouche". LL groups are critical of Berlet. Berlet does claim the Left is victim of issue-spreading and spin from the right in US. In 1970s-1980s, Berlet did story that LL isanti-Semite and fascist, was sued by LL who lost the case. A blogger notes that Larouche reckons Venice is regarded by LaRouche as the primary conduit for the attempted destruction of the West by the East, from the past, as far back as Alexr the Great. (Or, Venice plus Catholic Rome). This blogger says Kubrick was a reader of Fidelio, believes LaRouche and maybe based his movies Dr Strangelove and Eyes Wide Shut on LaRouche views. The Venice-London-New York conspiracy theory.
