Hi, Actually, you are looking at the wrong block of text. Here is the text inserted by the LaRouche supporters (as modified slightly by other editors to make it clear these are unverified claims: === He claims to have pioneered such ideas as the International Development Bank, the [[Strategic Defense Initiative]] or "Star Wars," and the so-called Eurasian Land-Bridge. It also claimed that he was used by the [[Ronald Reagan|Reagan]] administration as a "back-channel" for negotiations with the [[Soviet Union]]. According to a speech made by LaRouche science advisor Paul Gallagher[http://www.larouchepub.com/other/2004/3110sdi_timeline.html], LaRouche and his representatives met with Reagan administration Energy Secretary [[Donald Hodel]], Interior Secretary [[James Watt]], Science Adviser Dr. [[George Keyworth]], and State Department official [[Richard Morris]] in early [[1981]]. Gallagher also claims that later that year Lyndon and Helga Zepp-LaRouche met with [[CIA]] Deputy Director [[Bobby Ray Inman]], and cites the following remarks, made in early [[1993]] at the National Press Club by former head of German Military Intelligence, Gen. Paul-Albert Scherer: :"In the Spring of 1982 here in the Soviet Embassy there were very important secret talks that were held.... The question was: Did the United States and the Soviet Union wish jointly to develop an anti-ballistic missile defense that would have made nuclear war impossible? Then, in August, you had this very sharp Soviet rejection of the entire idea.... I have discussed this thoroughly with the developer, the originator of this idea, who is the scientific-technological strategic expert, Lyndon LaRouche. The [Soviet] rejection came in August, and at that point the American President Reagan decided to push this entire thing out into the public eye, so he made his speech of March 1983." :::<small>Press Conference at the National Press Club, Washington, DC., May 6, 1992; video of Scherer's remarks was broadcast on the "LaRouche Connection" cable TV program throughout the U.S.[http://www.larouchepub.com/tv/tlc_programs_1991-1995.html]</small&g… === Here is the text I inserted to provide balance: === In his book, Dennis King identifies Scherer as a long-time LaRouche supporter.<!--See index to King's book--> According to an article by Chip Berlet: "New Right military specialist, retired General Daniel O. Graham, says LaRouche followers have significantly hampered his work. Graham, Director of Project High Frontier which supports and helped develop President Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative plan for anti-missile defense, says the LaRouche groups have 'caused a lot of problems by adopting our issue in an effort to sieze credit for the idea.' 'They also mounted a furious attack on me personally,' says Graham. 'Even today I get mail asking if I'm in league with LaRouche,' he adds wearily."[http://www.publiceye.org/larouche/nclc3.html] [Later pro-Larouche addition here] There is no independent verification outside of LaRouche group media, however, of the claim that LaRouche originated or played a major role in the development of "Star Wars" missile defense. === Then the LaRouchites added this [Later pro-Larouche addition]: === LaRouche countered, "President Reagan's initial version of SDI was consistent with what I had introduced into U.S.-Soviet back-channel discussions over the period beginning February 1982. However, immediately thereafter, the mice went to work. Daniel Graham, the leading opponent of SDI up to that time, now proclaimed himself the virtual author of the policy, and was used, thereafter, to remove all of the crucial elements from the original policy."[http://www.larouchepub.com/lar/2000/2750_teller.html] === And on and on and on. What is happening is that the pro-LaRouche editors insert an ever-increasing amount of pro-LaRouche text from LaRouchite publications, forcing additional text to be added for balance, then more from the pro-LaRouche editors. On the discussion page (especially on Talk: Political Views of Lyndon LaRouche) you can see that HK especially protests every single insertion of material critical of LaRouche. Claims (falsely) that quotes are invented, then says they are cooked or misrepresented, then demands context, then demand actual image files. Then, if the critical sentence remains, HK and other pro-LaRouche editors adds another unverified quote from a LaRouche publication. When the article gets too big, a subsection is spawned, and another LaRouche-linked page starts to grow like a virus. In a serious encyclopedia like Wikipedia, LaRouche would get one small page that represented the majority view of reality, offered a disclaimer that LaRouche disagrees and claims vast conspiracies against him, and then linked to several fo the LaRouceh web pages. Wikipedia has become a propaganda arm of the LaRouche network because the pro-LaRouche editors are manipulating the system. Cberlet
