friends of Jeremiah and the ex member Yves Messer (far right)
Six
years ago on the 27th March 2003 Jeremiah Duggan, a 22 year old
British student died in Hessen Germany. To mark this sad day and
to raise awareness about the need for a full investigation of the
circumstances surrounding Jeremiah’s death and to protect
others from dangers, the family and friends of Jeremiah travelled
to Wiesbaden to stage a series of events. There was a memorial walk
through Wiesbaden to the spot five and a half kilometers outside
the town to the spot where Jeremiah’s body was found. Banners
were held high reading: “Why did Jeremiah die here? And Justice
for Jeremiah.”
THE PEOPLE OF WIESBADEN SHOWED CONCERN
Following the early morning walk supporters stood in a crowded area
of Wiesbaden distributing leaflets and inviting people to attend
the meeting to “break the silence” to be held in the
conference room of the Plaza Hotel. Members of the public who gathered
in the street were shocked to hear from Jeremiah’s family
and friends about what had happened in their home town. They appeared
to know little if anything about Bueso or the LaRouche youth organization.
Wiesbaden citizens showed their concern by attending the meeting
that was held in the Crowne Plaza Hotel afterwards. These people
said they wanted to know more about how this organization which
is headed by Lyndon LaRouche, a USA convicted criminal sent to prison
because he directed, oversaw and profited from a criminal enterprise
could be allowed to come to Germany to continue working here with
young people.
Many people did not know that Lyndon LaRouche works together with
his German wife Helga Zepp and drafts to the area of Hessen young
people from all over the world to train as militants . The people
with whom the supporters spoke were shocked to learn that In Germany
and in many parts of the world the LaRouche youth movement stand
outside Universities and persuade young people to abandon their
studies and their families and work full time for them.
At the conference the silence was broken when families and ex members
revealed the truth about the dangers of the LaRouche network. Ursula
Caberta, state advisor for Sects from the State of Hamburg was ill
and not able to be present but sent a message of support to all
the families . Hugo Duggan called for there to be a “breaking
of the silence” and that meant uncovering why Jeremiah died
. Families from France and Germany described the trauma for a family
when their children are damaged and lost to them by the methods
of this LaRouche sect. Families agreed that when their sons and
daughters joined the LaRouche youth movement they experienced “a
loss like a living death of one’s child.” All families
described how they were intimidated into silence through the fear
that if they spoke out they would lose the little contact they had
with their children. This process at work involved subjugation and
deception and was proof enough of how this is a destructive cult.
For this reason families joined together to appeal for a full enquiry
into the dangers faced by Jeremiah six years ago and was important
to protect others. However Erica Duggan appealed to ex members and
families saying that there were ways of “breaking the silence”
and that if that had been done before perhaps Jeremiah would be
alive today. Families agreed that Justice for Jeremiah was Justice
for all.
The purpose of the meeting was to raise awareness that the LaRouche
organization in the USA and Germany is one and the same organization,
run as one by Lyndon and Helga LaRouche. Ex member Aglaya Beyes
Corleis, herself a resident of Wiesbaden and author of a book on
the Cult explained how for the last 30 years Wiesbaden is the centre
for Europe. Dr Matthew Feldman, Senior History lecturer Northampton
College revealed how the dissemination of anti-Semitic propaganda
is even more dangerous when it takes on the coded form evident in
the propaganda of the LaRouche organization. He was supported by
all members of the family and ex members panel who called upon the
German authorities to take action to fully enquire into all possible
dangers. The families described how their sons and daughters were
idealistic young people who were trapped in a dangerous web where
they were misled with fraudulent conspiracies and how they were
manipulated so that their capacities to detect the coded anti-Semitism
went undetected. The young people suffer long hours of work with
little payment in the mistaken belief that they are benefitting
the world when in reality they are only serving the ends of the
LaRouche leaders who appear to be well connected and wealthy.
A letter of support from Simon Hughes MP for the British Parliament
was read at the meeting and messages of support were sent from Professor
Wieskirchen (SPD) and Herr Stroebele ( Greens) who deeply regretted
they were unable to attend. The Deputy Consul of France came from
Frankfurt to give support to the number of French families represented
at the meeting and to learn more.
It is not known if there is any state advisors for sects in Hessen
but it was learnt from one source that the church sect advisors
for the Hessen area do not cover political cults. Therefore there
appears to be little support for families who suffer from the activities
of political youth cults in Hessen. An answer to the invitation
to attend the meeting from the mayor of Wiesbaden has not yet been
received. The meeting concluded with an appeal to the good people
of Hessen to do more to expose the dangers of a totalitarian youth
sect and to campaign for Justice for Jeremiah and in that way ensure
that there is public scrutiny of the death of a young student who
came as an innocent visitor to the town when the reality was he
was being targeted for recruitment by a destructive sect disseminating
throughout the world anti-Semitic conspiracy theories.
Press releases:
- Press statement by Dennis King - author of Lyndon LaRouche
the new American Fascism.
"LaRouche’s doctrines express a mixture of hate
and scorn, thinly-veiled euphemisms and conspiracy theories
involving Jewish banking families. The method used is to build
up prominent Jews as symbolic hate figures, developing new forms
of ‘blood libel,' and the concoction of the myth of an
evil ‘oligarchy’ also known as the ‘Zionist-British
organism,' the ‘Venetian party’ or simply ‘the
British.’ This ‘oligarchy’ is the target of
the LaRouche organization’s most violent abuse, naming
them as utterly evil and parasitical. Thus we see how anti-Semitism
lies at the core of their belief system.”
DENNIS KING, author of the critically acclaimed "Lyndon
LaRouche and the New American Fascism".

Erica and Hugo Duggan then together with friends of Jeremiah returned
to the streets of Wiesbaden for the second time to speak directly
to the people of the town and appeal to them to use their democratic
rights to campaign for Justice for Jeremiah and to ask them not
to turn a blind eye to how families all over the world continue
to be destroyed when the young people are sent to be trained in
the Hessen area.
