"Hylozoic Hedgehog" is the nom de guerre of a former NCLC member who first joined the LaRouche organization in 1971 and who later worked in the group's Manhattan-based National Office-based "Intelligence Staff" from 1974 until 1979 when he quit the organization in disgust over its ties to the far right.
