Why is KPFA's Guns and Butter show hosting a LarRouche crackpot?

KPFA bullshit

The last two weeks KPFA's Guns and Butter radio show has hosted a Larouchite loon by the name of Webster Tarpley. Guns and Butter has no credibility and should be kicked off of KPFA.

yeah - Tarpley is on Alex Jones a lot, who copies a lot of LaRouche themes. Some major characteristics of Larouche would be the attitude that the economic system, and possibly the government itself, is about to fail and crash during the next three months, so you might as well quit your job or drop out of school, and stock up on gold coins, canned goods and prepare for troopers to try to put you in a FEMA camp. Second, they say that environmentalism, especially climate change, is a big fraud perpetrated by the british royal family (and the globalists) whose objective is subjugation and a prison planet.
The whole perspective is wildly satisfying to many people who aren't either right or left wing, but are very worried about the bad political situation, but can't quite see through junk history.

MATTHEW LASAR: Most people I talk to have no idea and react with shock when I tell them that National Review and Caspar Weinberger had shows on KPFA. KPFA had a regular show moderated by members of the John Birch Society.
