Is he going to outline the myriad of conspiracy theories the JBS has woven over the years?

[Jhoffa_]

Will someone please tell me why the term "JBS" is always associated with black helecopters and is generally poo-pooed here on FR?

What's the goal of this organization and is it Conservative?

They are conspiracy types?

[Coleus]

I guess you will have to watch with an open mind like me and find out.

[Scholastic]

Thanks! Their immigration coverage has been wonderful. Will tune in.

[Coleus]

I guess we will find out tomorrow, if we tape and review both shows. From what I've read in their New American Magazine, they seem anti-communist, anti-UN, anti-tax, anti-gun control, pro life and pro family. Not to bad, eh?

KNOW your roots:

John Birch Society

Robert Welch introduced the idea of the John Birch Society at an Indianapolis meeting he convened on December 9, 1958 of 12 "patriotic and public-spirited" men.

The first chapter was founded a few months later in February 1959.

The core thesis of the society was contained Welch's initial Indianapolis presentation, transcribed almost verbatim in The Blue Book of the John Birch Society, and subsequently given to each new member.

According to Welch, both the US and Soviet governments are controlled by the same furtive conspiratorial cabal of internationalists, greedy bankers, and corrupt politicians.

If left unexposed, the traitors inside the US government would betray the country's sovereignty to the United Nations for a collectivist new world order managed by a "one-world socialist government."

The Birch Society incorporated many themes from pre-WWII rightist groups opposed to the New Deal, and had its base in the business nationalist sector discussed earlier.

[Coleus]

I just looked at their New American Magazine before I posted this and can not find too much comspiracy stuff. Have you?

[Commander8]

I'll definately take a look at it.

[Jhoffa_]

That doesn't sound bad at all.

They are always spoken of as associated with "Black helecopter" type stuff though..

Are they conspiracy types or something?

[n.y.muggs]

I used to read the New American. I found it very interesting. They had some great aricles on Bob Taft, Pinochet, among other great conservatives.

They even called Hugo Chavez for what he was ... a two bit commie thug... years ago.

[Coleus]

My Roots?

It's a long read, I'll look at it later after dinner.

[Jhoffa_]

I didn't even know they were still around.

And I belong to the Antioch Baptist Church,

I would ask...

Do you doubt that the traitors inside the US government would betray the country's sovereignty to the United Nations for a collectivist new world order managed by a "one-world socialist government?

I am not a John Bircher, I know one... Good guy.
