Michael Billington Los Angeles, early 2001. Phil Rubinstein opens the event with a strategic briefing on the nature of the collapse and war drive by the Neo-cons around Dick Cheney. As part of a book tour for his autobiography "Reflections of An American Political Prisoner: The Represssion and Promise of the LaRouche Movement", as seen by Michael O. Billington. Billington, the last of the LaRouche political prisoners to be released on parole, after ten years in jail--two years in Federal prison, and an additional eight years as a inmate of the Virginia Correctional system (his sentence in Virginia was 77 years!), wrote a personal account of his political, philosophical, and moral development over nearly 35 years, including his work in the Peace Corps in the late 1960s. Most of the book is dedicated to his life and work, over the period since he became, in 1972, an activist in the political movement of Lyndon LaRouche. Mike talks about his incarceration and the political fight the LaRouche movement has waged that brought the full weight of the establishments efforts at crushing us and implementing a genocidal Malthusian utopia.
