John Birch Society’s Endless Enemies
Detailed overview of FBI documents and files pertaining to the John Birch Society.
The John Birch Society [JBS] is, arguably, our nation’s most successful purveyor of conspiracy arguments. In its 47 years of existence, the JBS has attracted the support or endorsement of numerous wealthy and prominent individuals and it has adversely impacted communities all over the United States.
This blog is devoted to sharing information about the JBS, and its arguments, which generally has never been available before. Starting in 1981, I began submitting Freedom-of-Information-Act requests to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, military intelligence entities, the U.S. Justice Department, and other government agencies to discover what data was contained in their files pertaining to the Birch Society and the allegations which the JBS disseminated about numerous persons and organizations. I now have acquired about 200,000 pages of government documents.
