25th Anniversary
A 25th anniversary edition of the Jonestown Report has been published at
http://jonestown.sdsu.edu/AboutJonestown/JonestownReport/Volume5/vol5.htm. It is said
by the publisher to include ―a resource guide for primary source information and ongoing
research related to Peoples Temple and Jonestown. The main website,
http://jonestown.sdsu.edu, reportedly contains primary sources on the disaster such as a
list of the dead, transcribed tapes from Jonestown, an online photo gallery of life there, and
the writings of former members and relatives about their experiences. (E-mail

LaRouche
Getting Campaign Money
The Wall Street Journal says a good reason to check ―no‖ on your tax return when it asks if
you want to contribute to the federal election campaigns is that ―perennial crackpot
candidate Lyndon Larouche will soon get a check for $840,000. That‘s more money than Al
Sharpton, Dennis Kucinich or Carol Mosley Braun — all of whom have at least the pretense
of being serious candidates — will get.‖ (Opinion, Wall Street Journal, Internet, 12/4/03)
Recruit's "Suicide" Questioned
German police are reviewing their investigation of the death in March of Jeremiah Duggan, a
British student, and Jew, who had traveled to Germany for what he thought was an anti-war
conference run by the publication Nouveau Solidarité, only to discover that he had actually
joined the Schiller Institute, led by the anti-Semitic Lyndon LaRouche. The LaRouche
political organization is alleged to pressure young people to believe in a Jewish-American
conspiracy to take over the world.
Duggan died after reportedly running into the path of two vehicles. The police assumed it
was suicide, but a report requested by British authorities indicates that no autopsy was
performed and police took no official signed statements from witnesses, which were in any
case contradictory.
Duggan‘s family says that the 22-year-old was studying at the Sorbonne, in Paris, and that
when he learned of LaRouche‘s anti-Semitic background he declared he was Jewish and fled
the place he was staying with the group. But first, they say, he called his girlfriend in Paris
saying he was ―under too much pressure.‖ Then he called his mother, again expressing his
acute anxiety and wish to go home. As he was giving his location, the phone line was cut
off.
When Duggan‘s mother finally reached the facility where her son had been staying, and
before she learned of his death, she was told first that Nouveau Solidarité was a ―news
agency‖ and did not take responsibility for individual‘s actions. She was told in a call several
minutes later that ―Jeremiah had psychological problems.‖
The Duggan family lawyer says that the German authorities‘ investigation ―is totally
inadequate. Jeremiah Duggan died in very suspicious circumstances. These call for a full
and proper investigation,‖ the lawyer said. (Daniel Foggo, The Telegraph, 11/9/03)
