Suicide linked to Duggan death cult
Bv RACHEL FLETCHER

 

A JEWISH man who committed suicide in Virginia last month has been identi-fied äs a member of the extremist politi-cal movement connected with the death of British Student Jeremiah Duggan.
Ken Kronberg, 58, feil to his death from the Waxpool overpass into traffic on Route 28 in Loudoun County on April 11. He had run a printing Operation under the supervision of Lyndon LaRouche, the man who founded the self-named global network that espouses anti-British and antisemitic conspiracy theories.
The printing Operation had recently folded and an internal memo circulated among LaRouche members hours be-fore Mr Kronberg's suicide attacked the failings of the movement's "baby boom" generation, singling out the print shop äs "among the worst".
The memo, written by Tony Papert of the national executive committee, con-tinued to address younger members, stating: "The Boomers will be scared into becoming human, because you're the real world, and they're not. Unless they want to commit suicide."
Several recent Statements from LaRouche have derided older members for the organisation's ineffectiveness, with emphasis now on the "LaRouche Youth Movement".
Jeremiah Duggan, a 22-year-old Student, was found dead on the Wiesbaden motorway in Germany in 2003.
He had earlier attended a meeting of the Schiller Institute, part of the LaRouche network, believing it to be an anti-war Conference, and had disclosed that he was Jewish. New evidence pro-duced by his family earlier this year suggests that he was murdered and placed at the scene.
A former member said the Organisation is "becoming more of a cult than ever". He added that various mind-con-trol techniques meant that "members still don't think they are antisemites".
Another former associate wrote on an online forum: "This insidious cult, sect, whatever you want to call it, has harmed people for decades.
