"::The memo is quoted in the Washington Post: 

 :::""LaRouche said that only he could help his followers, and many begged to have sessions with him, former members said. Members were gripped with a ""virtual religious hysteria"" when they saw these criticisms as insights, one former associate said.  

 :::""LaRouche outlined his therapy in a 1973 memo to members. He wrote that he was ""taking your bedrooms away from you until you make the step to being effective organizers . . . . Your pathetic impotence in your sexual life"" is a political matter, he wrote. ""I will take away from you all hope that you can flee the terrors of politics to the safety of 'personal life.' ""  

 :::""LaRouche also said in the memo that the mother is ""the principle source of impotence . . . . Can we imagine anything much more viciously sadistic than the Black Ghetto mother?"" ""
