I wrote a sociology paper on them in college. The John Birch Society was formed in the early 1950's. They were named after an OSS agent who was supposedly shot by the Chinese Communists during the . Ironically enough John Birtch was working with the Maoists and was actually executed by the Nationalists.
They're extremely right wing, with links to the Weches (the grape juice people) and the Coors (ie., Coors Beer). They are anti-Semetic and from what I remember went for the whole Zog (zionist occupied government) that the neo-nazi movement follows. Everything that isn't to the right of McCarthy is considered to be at best to be a sympathizer. I had thought they died a miserable death at least 10 years ago. It seems that they're being revived recently. larry On 1/5/06, Dana <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Someone I agred with in a coffeeshop is sending me a link to the page > for the John Birch Society.
