Lyndon LaRouche was an American political activist who led the controversial 'LaRouche' movement under his cult-like political organization, the 'National Caucus of Labor Committees' (NCLC). LaRouche was a convicted fraudster, and his political career has an arc from being a staunch leftist to a rightist activist. LaRouche was a presidential candidate from 1976 to 2004. He campaigned for one such election while serving his sentence for fraudulence. He had run once for his 'US Labor Party' and seven times for the 'Democratic Party.' Different intellectuals around the world have brutally criticized many of LaRouche's political theories. His second wife played a crucial role in his political career and supported the establishment of the 'Schiller Institute' in Germany. While he was at the peak of his career, LaRouche faced the danger of being assassinated for his extreme political views. He has contributed to several journals with his writings on economy, science, politics, history, philosophy, and psychoanalysis. Regarded as an idealist, an apocalyptic leader, and a conspiracy theorist, LaRouche was perceived as an anti-Semitic person in the mid-1970s. However, he had always claimed to be an anti-Zionist and not an anti-Semitic. LaRouche claimed to be the world's greatest economist and the world's most successful forecaster, who predicted the fall of the ‘Berlin Wall’ and the German unification.
