Earlier this week we had Lyndon LaRouche scheduled to appear on the show. At the last minute someone from LaRouche’s team sent us an email telling us that something came up and he would not be able to do the interview. Then, to our surprise, a loyal listener forwards us this little story below:

Mitt Romney and The Wall Street Shuffle Versus LaRouche
January 19, 2012 • 8:05AM
by Jonathan Hoefle
Did Mitt Romney and company try to ambush Lyndon LaRouche? That is one of the questions posed by the effort to get LaRouche to appear on the Jan. 13 edition of “The Wall Street Shuffle,” a radio program aired on KFXR 1190 AM in Dallas. LaRouche had been invited to appear and the interview scheduled, but we caught onto the game and cancelled it.
The Wall Street Shuffle is one of those rabidly free-market programs that worships money, and has little regard for rules and regulations that inhibit its accumulation. The immoral nature of the show was on full display January 11, when the host, Dan Cofall, laughed about the suicides of workers at the Foxconn plant in China.
Said Cofall: “Whiners and complainers. If they just knew how happy they were making Americans like me in their shoddy little lives, dying here, dying there because they’re making Apple products. Are we really paid to care how Apple produces the product? Seriously? … I will say this. You look at some of the statistics coming out of Foxconn — You realize I’m being pokey and funny here — back in 2010, 18 workers — this is the statistic I love — 18 workers threw themselves from the top of the company building. But only 14 died. So the way I’m looking at it, 4 people managed to improve the quality of their lives by jumping out of the building. I’m sure they’re well taken care of, they’re fed, they’re gonna be nursed back to health, and the other 14 people, it’s natural selection. I don’t — and they’re getting paid for the process. I don’t seen understand what the problem is.”
KFXR is owned by Clear Channel Communications, a radio network based in Texas that was bought by Mitt Romney’s Bain Capital and Thomas H. Lee Partners in 2008. The Clear Channel board has seven members, of which three are from Bain Capital and three from Thomas H. Lee.
The Wall Street Shuffle is sponsored by NorAm Capital Holdings, of which Cofall is a director. Dallas-area-based NorAm Capital Holdings traces its roots to Formula 409 Inc., which was incorporated in Massachusetts in 1959. The company has gone through several reorganizations and appears to be shell company used as a mask of sorts. The current iteration specializes in debt collection and management. CEO Anthony Renteria formerly worked at HSBC Bank. Cofall is a member of the Ludwig von Mises Institute, which describes itself as “the world center of the Austrian School of economics and libertarian political and social theory.”
There are indications that we are looking at a wider network involving the Mormon Church, the Boston Vault, and organized crime, but that investigation is still underway.
