US Politician Lyndon LaRouche (info) has launched a scathing attack on Microsoft blaming them for the latest US university shooting claiming that (and I quote) International Fascism: Microsoft Will Kill More Youth than Hitler and for some strange reason, only known to himself, says that Microsoft were behind Counter-Strike, a game made by Valve.
LaRouche and his cronies take their lead from the sensationalist New York Post article which also blamed the Northern Illinois University killings by Stephen Kazmierczak on Counter-Strike while giving little mention to the fact that he stopped taking prescribed medication for an undisclosed medical condition.
In further evidence of LaRouche’s mad conspiracy theories read this;
The intended effect, to foster an environment of mass suicide terrorism in the U.S.A., is a by-product of the ‘Revolution in Military Affairs’ policy, organized by Felix Rohatyn and George P. Shultz; the same individuals, who not only helped to install the fascist Pinochet into the Chilean government, but are the prime backers of a fascist Bloomberg Presidency.
Getting such basic facts as tying Microsoft to Counter-Strike, making outlandish claims about other US politicians and giving little credence to what was the probably cause of this tragedy, the fact that Stephen stopped taking his medication.
Politicians like this make me sick, people in positions of credibility need to take a stand against this. Microsoft should reply and set the record straight and distance gaming from this awful event.
