Norton Mezvinsky told the New York Daily News this week that he wasn't
invited to the wedding because of a family feud with his nephew that
stemmed from his support for his disgraced brother, former Iowa
Representative Edward Mezvinsky, whose plans to move to New York and
write a book after his release from prison were opposed by nephew
Marc.

But there's another reason the Clintons might want to keep the
Mezvinsky -- who says he's the "senior male member of the family, and
Marc's only uncle" -- well away from Rhinebeck on Saturday:
Mezvinsky's ties to the conspiracy mongering anti-Semite Lyndon
LaRouche.

Just last year, Mezvinsky shelled out his own cash to bring LaRouche
to speak at Central Connecticut State University, where he taught for
42 years. In February 2009, Mezvinsky spoke to assembled LaRouchites
at the Schiller Institute in Rüsselsheim, Germany, which was founded
by LaRouche's wife Helga Zepp-LaRouche.

That Mezvinsky would invite such a man to campus -- much less pay his
expenses -- could be reason enough for the former First Family to
treat him like a stranger. LaRouche, after all, has charged Queen
Elizabeth II with running a drug cartel and sponsoring the Oklahoma
City bombing in 1995.

LaRouche has a long history of Israel-bashing. Writing in the August
22, 1978 issue of New Solidarity, he deployed a tactic later used by
Holocaust denier David Irving to declare that, "the Nazis did not kill
six million Jews, but they did kill upwards of a million and a half."
Thus, while not denying the fact of the Holocaust, LaRouche did seek
to deny the uniqueness of its horror. In such a scheme, Jews are
portrayed as just another victim of the War in a group that includes
Poles, Russians, and Gypsies.

In the same piece, LaRouche shows himself decades ahead of Stephen
Walt and John Mearsheimer's own conspiracy-theory-mongering work, The
Israel Lobby. He offers an early example of the "linkage theory,"
which holds that Israel is a strategic burden to the U.S., by claiming
that the Zionist lobby is:

[T]he most visible of the internal enemies of the United States--and
of the human race--at this specific moment. Every policy it is
currently pushing is pure evil....

These rants weren't lost on the late New York senator Daniel Patrick
Moynihan, whose imprimatur gave then-New York senate candidate Hillary
Rodham Clinton the boost she needed to succeed him in the Senate in
2000. In 1986, Moynihan called LaRouche a "fascist" and an "anti-
Semite."

Would the mother of the bride forget her esteemed predecessor's words
about LaRouche and then publicly associate with his supporter?

LaRouche, who spent five years of a 15-year federal prison sentence
behind bars for tax code violations and conspiracy to commit mail
fraud, claims he was subjected to a "surgical procedure" to torture
him while incarcerated. He claimed at the time that with his
sentencing, "the vital interests of the United States have been put in
jeopardy."

Yet Mezvinsky's public statements reveal a high opinion for LaRouche.
According to the Executive Intelligence Review, the house organ for
LaRouche's conspiracies, during Mezvinsky's introductory remarks at
the May 4, 2009 event at Connecticut State, he praised EIR as:

[A] weekly magazine he founded in the mid-1970s, which is, I have
personally discovered, must reading [emphasis original] for numerous
members of the United States Congress, United States State Department
officials, other politicos in Washington and around the world, and
many academics.

And:

At major Middle-East-oriented think-tanks in Washington and elsewhere,
factual information, supplied by the LaRouche group, at least some of
his views, are regularly studied and considered. During the past year,
especially, when I have been in Washington starting a new Middle East
political think-tank, I have witnessed this personally.

Projection, perhaps, or wishful thinking? Mezvinsky's think tank, the
International Council for Middle East Studies (ICMES), is, according
to its web site, "located on the premises of the International Law
Institute, with office space provided by Professor Don Wallace
(Georgetown University), Chair of the ICMES Board of Directors."

Given Mezvinsky's potentially embarrassing past support for LaRouche,
and his fawning words for the rant-filled Executive Intelligence
Review, perhaps he was the family member whose presence just couldn't
be tolerated. People may pretend not to notice a crazy old aunt in the
attic. But even a $3 million wedding can't hide a LaRouche-supporting
uncle in the receiving line.

adjunct scholar at the Middle East Forum.

Chelsea Clinton's husband, Marc Mezvinsky, is the son of Edward
Mezvinsky [who is son of Jewish grocery store owner Abe Mezvinsky] who
served as a Democrat congressman from the first district in Iowa from
1973 to 1979. In 2003, he was convicted of fraud for allegedly
scamming over $10 million from banks and individuals using e-mail
fraud methods.

"Starting in the late 1980s, according to Zauzmer, Mezvinsky got
involved in a series of shady dealings. He began scamming a long list of
victims, many of them friends, promising big returns from West African
oil or investment schemes. Starting in late 1996, Mezvinsky solicited
$365,000 from a Maryland urologist. A year later he got $1 million from
a certified financial planner in Florida. Between January 1998 and
January 1999, he received $1.2 million from an Italian businessman. In
1999 he got yet another $1 million from a retired Pennsylvania business
executive and $500,000 from a Virginia investor. Each got a different
story, but the general pitch was that if they would give Mezvinsky their
money--which he promised to hold in trust at a U.S. bank, risk-free--he
would guarantee a hefty and quick profit.

But even as Mezvinsky was scamming people, he was letting himself get
scammed by West Africans--apparently hoping that the big score would
help him pay off the large debts he was accumulating."

Sounds like a regular John Dillinger there.

Reminds me more of Jerry Lundegaard in "Fargo".

- Sounds like a regular John Dillinger there.

Sounds more like he would fit-in at the Obama
Regimes US Treasury or Federal Reserve.
