Illinois farm group rejects
LaRouche’s ‘extremism’
by Barry Mehler
CHICAGO (JTA)—The presi
dent of the Illinois American Agri
culture Movement has issued a
statement repudiating any relation
ship between the AAM and peren
nial presidential candidate Lyndon
LaRouche.
Admitting that there had been
an initial attraction to LaRouche’s
political organization, AAM pres
ident Tom Curl said, “In some
terms they can be convincing but
we did a little deeper study and
found that we thought they were
an extreme group that we did not
want to have an affiliation with.”
Curl went on to warn Illinois
farmers not to be seduced by La
Rouche politics. LaRouche sup
porters were canvassing farmers,
Curl told Charles Lindy, producer
of “Growing Aware,” a farm news
program aired throughout the mid
west.
AAM believed LaRouche polit
ics could pose a threat among
farmers disillusioned with the
Reagan administration’s current
handling of the farm crisis. He
urged farmers to remain active
within the mainstream of the A-
merican political system.
LaRouche candidates have been
seeking to enlist financially troubled
farmers for several years. A recent
report by the Anti-Defamation
League of B’nai B’rith stated that
“LaRouche’s followers have been
making a systematic effort to in
fluence farmers’ organizations,
notably the American Agriculture
Movement.”
During LaRouche’s 1984 presi
dential campaign, Tommy Kersey,
who the ADL referred to as an
AAM organizer from Georgia, ex
pressed his admiration for La
Rouche. Kersey has also expressed
support for the activities of other
extremist organizations including
the anti-Semitic, paramilitary group
Posse Comitatus.
In November 1985, Kersey par
ticipated in an armed protest in
Georgia during which approxi
mately 25 armed men held olf local
stra, the former high school teacher
from Eckville, Alberta, who was
convicted last year under Canada’s
anti-hate laws, responded with
charges of “racist” to his defeat in
the contest for leadership of the far
rightwing Social Credit Party, at
its national convention here re
cently.
Keegstra was ousted from the
Alberta school system in 1984 after
parents complained that he used
his classroom to preach anti-Sem
itism, telling his students that Jews
played signs which denounced the
“ZOG”—a term popular in right
wing circles, denoting the “Zionist
Occupation Government.”
David Fenter, national director
of the AAM, appeared disturbed
that Kersey was still being referred
to as a member of the AAM. “We
have no officer in Georgia,” said
Fenter, “and we have no relation
with Kersey or the extremist groups
he associates with.”
According to Fenter, AAM will
not allow LaRouche or any of his
candidates to participate in AAM
events. “We want to have nothing
to do with that kind of extremism,”
he said.
are “the root of all evil.” He was
subsequently defeated for re-elec
tion as mayor of Eckville, a farm
hamlet of about ^00 with no Jews.
His latest defeat was at the hands
of the Rev. Harvey Lainston, a 50-
year-old evangelical minister from
Listowel, Ontario. Lainson received
67 votes at the convention to 38 for
Keegstra. A third candidate, James
Green of Bentley, Alberta, with
drew from the race after askin'g his
supporters to give their votes to
Keegstra.
Keegstra was also backed by
Donald Andrews and Robert Smith,
both convicted of hate-mongering,
and Ernst Zundel, an anti-Semitic
pamphleteer who is presently
appealing his conviction under the
anti-hate laws for disseminating
propaganda that the Holocaust was
a Jewish hoax.
Keegstra portrayed himself as
the victim of a smear campaign
who was convicted under “Satanic
hate laws conceived in Hell” and
enforced by “enemies of Christ and
servants of Satan.” He claimed he
was in “complete correspondence
with the mind of God” and called
Lainston a “racist.”
The Social Credit Party, which
originated before World War II,
was originally a populist move
ment with overtones of anti-Sem
itism, subsequently disavowed by a
later generation of its leadership.
