The agenda was pro-family, pro-Christian, anti-communist, anti-UN, and anti-big government, while treating the principles of the US Constitution/Bill of Rights as sacrosanct. The JBS charter was based on opposing plans of what they said were a small group of 'Insiders' working surreptitiously both in and outside of government to bring the this country's free-market enterprise system to it's knees while incrementally stripping America's sovereignty and inflicting a socalist society upon our people. But they also felt both the USSR and US governments were under the influence of the same international cabal, one keen to bring about a collectivist 'New World Order'... all orchestrated from behind the scenes and by-hook-or-by-crook.
Naturally such conspiracy theory brought massive derision -particularly from those exposed- and the John Birch Society was mocked as paranoid and delusional- among other things. But just listen to what the man had to say back then in '73 -most of this quoted from their 1958 charter- and you tell me he's not warning us of the the heinous internationalist-socialist Sorobama regime that's currently ripping this country a new one...

“extreme”? Truth and righteousness are extreme. There is no lies in truth and no unrighteousness in righteousness. Can’t get any more extreme than that. Moderation is blending the two. A little bit of wrong with right. Extreme good is good. Moderate wrong is wrong.
Sadly, this was aided by W.F. Buckley, who hated the JBS.
Sure, there were some kooks in it, as there are in anything (one need look no further that NR itself - Buckley's idiot son, and David Frum, to name a few).
The lower right fist with peace sign - that was the emblem on the shirt of the “guy with the mike” at the atlanta OWS site, when they denied John Lewis a speaking opportunity. The only difference was that it was on a red background.
Do you know its origin?
TIA
Have you heard of the new subgroup they've established for the children of the founding group? It's called the "Sons of Birches".
In the beginning years of the JBS, I was a mere child but my mom was nurse that was around the doctors you describe above that were involved in the JBS. Some of the office talk made it home as "adult conversations" that I listened to raptly. I've seen the prognostications of the JBS come true in many areas but especially in the area of healthcare which was the focus of much of the "adult conversations". I recall some intense discussions among my parents and grandparents on these subjects, especially since my mom's dad was a railroad union man.
“The MSM declared war on the JBS and it continues today.”

The Birchers have lost the war.
I belong to a computer users group that has been meeting since the mid 70’s. We meet once a month and I almost never miss. At Saturdays meeting I was speaking to a couple of guys who had told me they were going to vote for Obama. They did do that and I have asked several times since if they were going to vote for him again or if they had voters remorse. They are going to vote for him again.
When I explain that the president is Marxist and ask is that what they want, they laugh at me and tell me I’m crazy and then say, “yeah he’s a Moslem too, Ha, Ha, and he isn’t a citizen either, Ha, Ha.”
The Democrat party has been overrun by the Marxists. The news media has been overrun by the Marxists.
Marxism is unsustainable. Although I say that there is a Marxist state of China, Cuba and North Korea that keeps going and going and going. Marxist states keep going by forcing everyone to be poor. Marxism or Socialism will always fail, it is just a matter of time before it falls under it’s own weight. The problem is that that can take a lot of time. I do believe that the true Marxist in this country are in the very small minority and that the rest of those that vote Democrat are just stupid dupes that are mislead by the MSM.
I don’t know what to do inform people of the truth, when I try I am often ridiculed.
I have decided to prepare for the worst as best I can and prepare to have my own little island of security until the government comes and takes everything I have and shares it with those that don’t. I suspect they will have to do that over my dead body but I’m not sure I will be able to hold them off very long. Death is probably better than letting them win with me under their subjection.
These are not the best of times.
Patrick Henry, George Washington, John Adams, Alexander Hamilton, et al: it was good enough for these guys - it shoukld be good enough for us.
I'd rather go down swingin' than kneeling with a bullet in the back of my head....
So did Pat Buchanan.
But the frauds and leftist told us he was a bad guy, anti-jew etc, etc.
Pat’s right on some things, and wrong on others.....he is right on about the Decline of the West.
Patrick Henry, George Washington. . . . . .

Thanks,
Interesting, as a young man I served in the Submarine Service, the boat I lived on for 4 years was the USS Patrick Henry, the sister ship was the USS George Washington.
There may have been some earlier manifestations of the "clenched fist" salute, but I am not aware of any.
Marxism and sin have much in common. Each bears within itself the seeds of its own destruction.
So did Pat Buchanan.
But the frauds and leftist told us he was a bad guy, anti-jew etc, etc.
Pat’s right on some things, and wrong on others.....he is right on about the Decline of the West.
Yeah, he was right about some trivial things like the decline of America...big deal huh?
You're joking right?
What the hell we talking about here??
This one is the clenched fist with the 2 fingers up, in what is commonly thought of as a peace sign. It is seemingly modeled after the international socialists clenched fist.
The socialist signs are all over the OWS movement. I was wondering if this particular one had a specific group that was using it. I don’t have a copy of None Dare call it conspiracy, but it would seem that it might be defined there.
Thx
The JBS taught me about Newt. He’s been on their radar and in their sights for a long, long time.
It’s ironic, the John Birch Society, and people like Pat Buchanan were absolutely correct, and those telling everyone they are “kooks”, turn out the be the real frauds and liars.
As with the clenched fist sign, there may have been earlier manifestations of its use, but I am not aware of any.
Thanks for your help.
It could be a black panther symbol - i’m checking it out.
It was on a relatively newly printed t-shirt worn by an OWS leader. I am looking to see which current socialist organization might be using it.
It could be a clue about the groups leading the OWS protests. (or not)
