Associated Press on Bevel's arrest. June 9, 2007.
Judge throws the book at Rev. Bevel (Associated Press, Oct. 16, 2008). LaRouche sure knows how to pick 'em for his self-styled movement of neo-Platonic humanist golden souls. Remember how Rev. Bevel served as the public face for LaRouche's 1992 jailhouse race for the Presidency? Remember how Bevel described LaRouche as the successor to the mantle of Martin Luther King? And how Bevel served as a go-between for the alliance of LaRouche with NOI leader Louis Farrakhan? Now we see the true face of con man Bevel--a serial molester of his own daughters. Unfortunately, the mainstream media coverage has pretty much ignored his history with LaRouche and Farrakhan (and Rev. Moon), choosing to focus on his history in the civil rights movement in the 1960s. The media has also not mentioned that Bevel was working for the LaRouchians in Leesburg, VA when the acts of incest occurred for which he was convicted. (Ex-LaRouchians who were in Leesburg at the time recall Bevel as a bizarre personality but say the cult leadership had looked the other way since Bevel was believed to be carrying out vital assignments for Lyn.)
