at most any point in time prior to the bizarre Obammunist era).
The organization took its name from an American Baptist missionary (and US intelligence officer) who was shot dead by Red Chinese forces in August 1945, therefore it was that
John Birch was honored as 'first fatality of the Cold War'.
The JBS
agenda was -and is- 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.

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 (same as Obama's M.O.)
Naturally
such conspiracy theory brought massive derision
-particularly from those it exposed- and the John Birch Society was
disregarded by many as paranoid and delusional, among other things. Yet in our
time, it's already become more than apparent they knew what hey were talking
about:
Agenda of the NWO socialists according to JBS (1958):
- surrender of
American sovereignty to UN
and other international organizations
- greatly
expanded government spending...
'as wastefully as possible'
- higher (and then much higher) taxes
- increasingly unbalanced
budget-
despite tax increases
- wild
inflation of our currency and
destruction of our savings
- greatly
increased socialistic controls over every operation of our economy... and every
activity
of our daily lives
- correspondingly huge increases in federal bureaucracy, and both cost and reach of government
- far
more centralization of power in Washington
(and gradual erosion of states' power)
- creeping federalization of education system
- anti-war propaganda, "peace"
at all costs...
thus inevitably on enemy terms (of course)
Just listen to what the
man had to say back in the 70s -most of this quoted from their 1958
charter- and you tell me he's not talking about the
internationalist-socialist Soro-bama regime that's currently ripping this
country a new one... John Birch
