==Also, it's extremely difficult--if not impossible--for me to take anyone seriously who cheers foreign dictators while considering our President and John Ashcroft to be jack-booted thugs.
Who cheered foreign dictators?
==For some reason, actions to destablizie the former are good and laudable while action against the latter are "internationalist" and only serve to bring about "the new world order."
I think they were just pissed that Pres. Bush went to the UN to ask "Permission" to go to war with Iraq.
Who cheered foreign dictators?
The John Birch Society and its publications, that's who. They've cheered George Papadopoulos, Franco, Salazar, Pinochet, Rafael Trujillo, etc., etc., etc. All the while every American President regardless of party or ideology was a "conspirator" and a jack-booted thug.

You're wrong. They were adamantly opposed to the war in Iraq regardless of its justification and remain opposed to any war against an Arab or moslem state. In fact, several years ago they ran an article to "head off" the current anti-moslem "crusade" by claiming that moslem are simply good family people like you and me, but are being presented as enemies by the "internationalists." Now, I wonder who they meant by that, hmmm?
As a matter of fact, even while they oppose pacifism they oppose all wars as artificial creations of their "conspiracy." They've even claimed to regard the Cold War against Russian Communism to be an "Insider"-controlled conflict, yet they always seem to approve of the war against Communism even as they proclaim it to be phony.
The JBS main duty in life is to mainstream traditional anti-Semitic conspiracy theories by taking the word "Jew" out of them but nevertheless leading to many people so exposed to eventually become anti-Semites (and the same goes for their political fronts, the Buchananites and the "Constitution Party"). I'm a former member and I have no use for them whatsoever.
Yes, the JBS publication publishes many good columns, but I did see problems here and there in it. ...extremely insidious organization--most insidious I've analyzed over the decades. The various discussions within the JBS (including Web boards) are much worse.
I communicated with JBS people for years while trying to figure their agenda out, and concluded that the JBS is at least an anti-Israel magnet. Internal discussions do continue to rage between neo-Nazi JBS members and others who oppose their efforts. Friendlies who join the JBS tend to leave it sooner or later.
...problem for the likes of the JBS, Pat Buchanan and all, is that most communists in the world now are also working along with the Islamist terrorists against Israel. Another problem for them is that fascism is now exposed for what it is--national socialism wherever it rises, whether in a party like the old German National Socialist Workers Party or the old US National Socialist White People's Party (and all of its other contemporary guises).
All of that said, yes, the JBS does try to recruit as many good writers and gather as many good publications as it can. But writers who submit material to TNA do so without knowing what creeping other agenda lurks behind all of that.
BTW, the last information I posted to JBS boards was much about UFOs.
