The TRAP


Recommended Posts

Can you elaborate a little? Not all of us have Crosstrails.

Josh, I'll add some detail here, from chapter 2 of Crosstrails.

The memoirs of Harry Dean recall events in which he, a young college activist, joined the Castro movement (at the same time that Frank Sturgis, Gerry Patrick Hemming, David Ferrie and assorted gun-runners also supported Castro) because of the corruption of the Batista government in Cuba in 1958. They wished to befriend the new Cuban government, to ensure Castro would remain friendly with the West.

However, in 1959 it became clear that Castro would turn to the extreme left when he began to hunt and kill moderates among his USA supporters. Then Harry Dean (as well as those mentioned above) quit Castro's side, and began to attack Castro instead.

Harry became a spy for the FBI at this point, and he used his undercover role to obtain the release of some US citizens from Cuban prisons (although Harry was unable to save them all). Harry Dean provided useful information to the FBI in those days.

In 1960, says Harry, the FBI gave him a further request -- to spy on the JBS (John Birch Society) in Southen California, and to send the FBI any seditionist information that he picked up. (By the way, we know the FBI had already spied on the JBS in 1959, because Hoover declared them Unamerican in 1959, and set a policy that no FBI agent could ever become a member of the JBS.)

Harry took that assignment, and in the course of spying on the JBS, he became swept away. He made friends among the BIrchers, and they came to trust him so much that the Birchers invited Harry to more and more clandestine meetings.

Harry studied the Bircher materials closely, and he dug deeper into their background. Among the startling discoveries that Harry made was his unique perception of the JBS which I'd never seen before; namely, that the Birchers are actually an extension of the Church of LDS (Latter Day Saints) more popularly called the 'Mormons.'

This seemed implausible to me at first, until I researched it myself. High-ranking LDS official, Ezra Taft Benson, was indeed an early and avid supporter of Robert Welch, as a matter of factual history.

Ezra Taft Benson was also the Secretary of Agriculture for President Eisenhower, and was at the same time a vocal critic of Eisenhower's farm policies -- calling them 'socialist'. (Eisenhower didn't mind that very much -- he tolerated Benson because of his professional value.)

Anyway, Harry Dean came to believe that the LDS had been trying for generations to attain greater political power in Washington DC, and that Washington officials who were also LDS members would support each other in a clandestine system called "the Sisterhood."

One of the best tools of the LDS in their rise to power, says Harry Dean, was the JBS, which presented an ultra-conservative face while (like Joe McCarthy) charging Washington officials with Communist affiliations. According to the JBS, every US President starting with FDR had been a communist traitor.

Whether this was literally true or only mildly plausible did not matter much to the JBS or LDS leadership -- the key is that it was influential in the public marketplace of ideas. The JBS doctrine weakened confidence in traditional Washington DC leadership, and made ultra-conservative candidates more viable over the generations.

Furthermore, says Harry Dean, the vanguard among the JBS were responsible for organizaing the JFK assassination. The most liberal US President of our time was prevented from moving forward, to allow more conservative politicians to guide the fate of the USA, and this was made possible by the LDS/JBS combination.

Over the generations, proposes Harry Dean, the LDS members in Washington have been attaining higher and higher rank. For example, former Vice-president Dick Cheney is affiliated with the LDS. Cheney was the highest ranking LDS player in US history so far; but as we all know, the current GOP candidate for President, namely, Willard "Mitt" Romney, is a full-fledged member of the LDS.

If Romney wins the current election, warns Harry Dean, the LDS will have finally attained their highest goal, and would then proceed toward the next phase in their plans for global world theocracy.

Harry's theory concerns the ultra-conservative LDS in Washington DC, as aided and abetted by the ultra-conservative John Birch Society. As long as people believe this is far-fetched, this ultra-rightist movement can escape scrutiny and can continue to operate freely, without obstruction.

Now -- in case you might be thinking that this theory is totally new (because it's so rare), I'd like to quote something from the 1964 Warren Report. In this testimony, Chief Justice Earl Warren himself is questioning Jack Ruby. Here is what Jack Ruby said:

------------------------- BEGIN Warren Commission Hearings vol. 5 ------------------------------

MR. RUBY. There is an organization here, Chief Justice Warren, if it takes my life at this moment to say it -- and Bill Decker said be a man and say it -- there is a John Birch Society right now in activity, and Edwin Walker is one of the top men of this organization. Take it for what it is worth, Chief Justice Warren. Unfortunately for me, for me giving the people the opportunity to get in power, because of the act I committed, has put a lot of people in jeopardy with their lives. (pause) Don’t register with you, does it?

CHIEF JUSTICE WARREN. No; I don’t understand that.

MR. RUBY. Would you rather I just delete what I said and just pretend that nothing is going on?

CHIEF JUSTICE WARREN. I would not, indeed. I am only interested in what you want to tell this Commission. That is all I am interested in.

MR. RUBY. Well, I said my life, I won’t be living long now. I know that...

Michael, I stopped short of saying that Dick Cheney was an actual member of the LDS. I called him a player.

Actually, it was Mrs. Cheney whose father was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, and members of five full generations of her forebearers migrated to Utah to escape the religious persecution of the Mormons. (She did convert to Methodism when she married Dick Cheney.)

Even so, it remains a fact that the Mormon-based Brigham Young University awarded Dick Cheney an honorary PhD in 2007. The Mormons have not had an equal place at the USA political table since the earliest days of their movement, and apparently they have grown willing to be more aggresive to obtain those higher ranks.

Paul, it was the word "also" that got me. I see you edited it out.

Aha, Michael -- you were quite correct on both counts. It deserved to be edited out.

Yet, I'll take my correction as an opportunity to make a further observation about the mystique of Mormons as the USA contemplates electing its very first Mormon president with candidate Willard Romney.

I've read that Romney's grandfather had five wives. Although Utah "officially" outlawed polygamy, "unofficially" it is tolerated in the provinces of Utah because it is a time-honored Mormon tradition.

Americans generally block this out of their consciousness -- it seems like an unreal fantasy. But it is a social factoid.

I ask -- what is the social value of love in a polygamous society? What sort of family is developed with polygamy?

We might also ask our Muslim colleagues and associates at work -- isn't polygamy widespread in Islamic society?

I make no case for religious superiority -- I only ask about the social problem of polygamy. I ask -- what is the rank of women in a polygamous society? Is this not the apex of male dominance and chauvinism?

Whence this modern fascination? Perhaps within the current tyranny of oil that grips civilization, our oil dealers require a more tolerant and congenial social attitude towards polygamy, because of the massive proprietary holdings of oil deposits within polygamous societies.

I ask -- is this the reason that America is being asked to contemplate a Mormon candidate for president who also condemns marriage equality and the woman's right to choose?

If so -- is this not the most massive shift to the right (i.e. crass patriarchy) that the USA has yet seen in her ~235 year history?

Just asking,

Will the TRAP, set so long ago, and exposed in the 1990

manuscript/book titled CROSSTRAILS (chapter two} be

tripped by the intended victims themselves in the 2012

presidential election?

Well, Harry, it appears as though the USA avoided the TRAP of allowing an extreme rightist organization like the LDS, along with its quasi-JBS Tea Party, to seize the US Presidency.

They put up a ferocious fight, but ultimately the US Public rejected the extreme rightist opinion of reality and the future. Maybe the Republican Party will survive the Tea Party, and maybe not.

What happened to the GOP, the party of Lincoln? How did the progressive party of 1860 become the reactionary party of 1990?

We might ask the same about the Democratic Party, which started the 20th century as the reactionary party of the South, and which favored local grassroots racists like the KKK. (Democratic President Woodrow Wilson, for example, was an avid supporter of the KKK. They supported his rise to the Presidency on the basis that he kept Princeton University racially segregated before World War One.) How did this reactionary party become the progressive party of the USA?

I think the switch occurred slowly, starting from the FDR White House, and completing with the LBJ White House. The official signal came when President Reagan switched from Democratic candidate to Republican candidate.

Today the KKK, the JBS, the extreme right and the South generally will not join the Democratic party, but instead flock to the GOP and its Tea Party affiliates.

There was a reversal of roles. Lincoln, I suspect, would no longer recognize the GOP of today. Somewhere in the middle of that orientation-switch between the GOP and the Dems (i.e. a double paradigm shift), JFK was slaughtered in public.

PART 1

==============

"Startling new claims are coming out about the Rothschild relationship with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. According to one Steve Davis, whose father was the highest ranking Mason in Utah, and an employee of the Rothschilds, the Church was suckered into buying $500 million dollars of worthless "swamp land" by two of its Counselors in the early 1960s. Davis claims that the Church lien that resulted gave the Rockefeller family control over all Church assets, including Temple Square through Chase Manhattan Bank.

Apparently, Swiss Billionaire Robert Vincent de Oliverri, the second richest Rothschild in the world at the time, joined the LDS faith after two missionaries knocked on his door. The Illuminati will often join Churches and other organizations to move them into their globalist agenda. In what appears to be a "hand-off" from the Rockefellers to the Rothschilds, Oliverri flew into Salt Lake City and wrote a $500 million dollar check to pay off the Rockefeller lien."

http://www.informedi...e-mormon-church (link with photo)

The above photo purports to show Steve Davis's father, Clyde Davis, picking up Oliverri at the Salt Lake Airport. According to Steve, Clyde was placed in charge of acquiring major contributions for the LDS Church.

The implications of all this are staggering and could answer the questions of how Illuminati Globalists, like Joseph Cannon, Chris Cannon, Mitt Romney, Orrin Hatch, Harry Reid, the Marriotts, and a slew of others have risen to prominence within the Mormon Church.

++++++++++++++++++++++

Is There a Rothschild-Mormon Connection?

Here Many good and strong individuals in the LDS (Mormon) Church, like myself, have been disgusted by the actions of so-called Mormon politicians, newspaper editors, and corporate leaders that march lock-step with the Illuminati "New World Order" agenda. Nothing happens by accident. Svali, a former Illuminati "trainer" claims that some members of the Mormon Church affiliated with the Illuminati in the 1950s.

The tares among the wheat form a perfect dilemma, as they all look the same prior to the harvest. Yet, the Satanic Ritual Abuse identified in the Glenn Pace Memo and "Hell-minus-one"; The appearance of covering up this abuse by Utah politicians, and the 2001 Olympic scandal cover-up, are just a few examples of evidence that this Illuminati infiltration has taken place. Coupled with the fact that, in-spite of his multiple crimes, Neo-con Joseph Cannon remains at his post as Editor of the Deseret News, succeeding Christian Scientist, CFR member Jon Hughes.

Steven Davis, whose father Clyde was very highly placed within the Mormon Church, claims the following:

"Robert Vincent de' Oliverri joined the LDS Church through two missionaries knocking at his residence and him joining.

Robert was the second richest man in the World, a Rothschild. In 1966 When the LDS Church Temple Square had a lien by Chase Manhattan Bank ((a result of)the Florida Deseret Ranch purchase by 1st Presidency, Henry D. Moyle back in the 1960s) This is when Prez. David O. McKay hired my father and put him over five departments of the Church (Church Education Development Office, 3rd Floor, BYU Smoot Administration Building == became the LDS FOUNDATION in 1974 under the Deseret Management Corporation, incorporated by N. Eldon Tanner, Hugh B. Brown and Gordon B. Hinckley --- currently (one of) the richest corporation in the world!)

Clyde got Robert to come over to Salt Lake City, under a CIA protection flight directed by CIA Neal A. Maxwell in 1967. He met Ernest L. Wilkenson and President Tanner though Clyde Davis and wrote out a $100 Million Check and removed the lien off of Temple Square!

This was the beginning of the direct involvement of the Rothschild Family directly with the LDS Church through my father........

The Rothschilds designated Clyde Davis as their Geologist in 1967 and from that day forward required him to examine all properties......I made many trips with Clyde to Rothschild investments in mining claims all over Canada, the US and elsewhere..

Through Clyde, they figured out how the Rothschild's could jointly do money-laundering with LDS Tithing funds.....a requirement for the "front". Hinckley became a member of the Council for Foreign Relations. Clyde was the top Freemason since his capacity under President Harry S. Truman (Navajo Talkers in the Pacific). Clyde was over it. That's another story, worth telling!!!!

Anyway the Rothschilds got Congress to pass the 1987 Industrial Loan Banking Law and since then Utah has been the key money laundering location for the Rothschilds/Federal Reserve.

Each Sunday Night, Ray Anderson (former Chase Manhattan Bank Ex) -- I got a letter from him when Kanco donated 40% of the Golden Eagle and Golden AGe mining Claims to the LDS Church in 1998...... I had Senator Orrin Hatch's cousin, Glen Hatch at the face-to-face meeting with Ray when he accepted the Gift........(hand written letter from Glen, last year). Glen was in a Provo Stake Presidency when he served on the Kanco Board of Directors in the 1990s.

Anyway the Rothschilds are very closely connected to the Davis Family. I have (been) involved with them for years.......they know I didn't consecrate anything to the "church", but they know Clyde had me with him in all Rothschild transactions."

THE BELMONT BROTHERHOOD

"Does the Brotherhood exist?"

"That Winston, you will never know. If we choose to set you free when we have finished with you, and if you live to be ninety years old, still you will never learn whether the answer to that question is yes or no. As long as you live, it will be a riddle in your mind."

From
1984
by George Orwell

Ladies and Gentlemen:

During the past year many of you have received sensitive material regarding criminal abuses within the high command of The John Birch Society from the following sources:

1. Harry Brandler -- former Illinois Coordinator

2. Tim Weir -- former JBS Staff Fund Raiser and St. Louis Coordinator

3. Donald Prang -- former JBS Comptroller

4. Rex Westerfield -- former JBS Public Relations Director

5. Bruce Taylor -- former JBS Director of Advertising and Sales

6. Dick Weiss -- former South Dakota Coordinator

7. Tim Heinan -- former JBS Ad Hoc Committee Coordinator

8. Nicholas J. Bove, Jr. -- former Research Assistant to Robert Welch

9. John Deckert -- former Coordinator for Central and Southern New Jersey

10. Ted Henrickson -- former Coordinator for Southern New Jersey and Delaware

(This is only a partial listing)

While our staff has been engaged in research for our forthcoming book (which we shall publish in the very near future), it has discovered some surprising coincidences in the backgrounds of certain members of the Council of the John Birch Society (both past and present) -- coincidences we believe demand the attention of all students of the Master Conspiracy of which we have come to believe THE BELMONT BROTHERHOOD is an integral part.

JBS Council Members - Past and present

The following biographical sketches were taken, verbatim, from a book, THE KANGAROO COURT VERSUS THE JOHN BIRCH SOCIETY. It was published in 1963 by A.J. MacDonald and Associates and, we should add, written in defense of the John Birch Society. We have reproduced nearby the full title page of this particular volume. Observe - this copy we are using was once available from a St. Paul American Opinion Bookstore. When you finish reading these biographies, which include two thirds of Charter Members present in Indianapolis on Dec. 8 & 9, 1958, we believe you will begin to understand why American Opinion Bookstores no longer sells it.

CHAPTER 10

On the following pages are listed a few of those important people who are backing and supporting the Society as members of the John Birch Council.

1. William J. Grede

In the February 1977 John Birch Society Bulletin, Welch describes Grede as a "truly great American (p. 27)." This "great American" was a "director" of none other than the 7th Federal Reserve Bank - an important arm of the infamous Federal Reserve System. As Birch authority Gary Allen states in his Rockefeller File: "For fifty years the Federal Reserve - CFR - Rockefeller Insider crowd (observe how Allen uses all of these terms together and interchangeably) has advocated and carried out policies aimed at increasing the power of their satellite, the Soviet Union (p. 108)."

That being the case, what was a founding Council Member of the JBS - a man who is now Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Council - doing as a member of the crowd Allen says increases the power of the Soviet Union? Coincidence?? No more a coincidence than Grede's membership in the quasi-Masonic National Council of the YMCA - which we shall deal with later.

Incidentally, Grede is listed by Helen Peters in her treatise, Is the John Birch Society Subversive? as Chairman of National Bible Week put up by the Laymen's National Committee of the National Council of Churches. This we suppose is the "Conservative" Arm of the National Council of Churches.

."

What was a Thirty-second Degree Mason doing on the Council of the John Birch Society? Indeed, he was not the only highly placed Mason on the Council. What is the significance of this?

In order to understand how significant it could be, we must consult Masonic authority Albert Pike -- whom Welch himself has identified on numerous occasions as one of the major Master Conspirators of the Nineteenth Century:

"To the crowd we must say: we worship a God, but it is the God one adores without superstition. To you Sovereign Grand Inspectors General, we say this, that you may repeat it to the Bretheren of the 32nd [which by the way was Love's level - N.B.], 31st and 30th degrees: all of us initiates of the high degrees should maintain the Masonic religion in the purity of the Luciferian doctrine... Yes, Lucifer is God, and, unfortunately Adonay is also God... religious philosophy in its purity and truth consists in the belief in Lucifer, the equal of Adonay. (Albert Pike, quoted in A.C. de la Rive:
La Femme et l'Enfant dinis la Franc-Maconnerie Universelle
, p. 588. Also quoted by Vicomte Leon de Poncins,
Freemasonry and the Vatican
, p. 6).

Similar quotations abound in Pike's book, Morals and Dogma -- which can be found in Welch's library in Belmont, Massachusetts. This writer knows this because, as his former research assistant, he was in charge of organizing Welch's personal book collection. Now, knowing this, what does Welch himself think of one having a self-avowed Thirty-Second Degree KCCH Mason on the Council? -- especially when, as Pike says, Bretheren of the 32nd Degree (Love's level) worship Lucifer.

Believe it or not, Welch has given us his answer. It is in the John Birch Society Bulletin of October, 1973. In this bulletin he does not refer directly to Bob Love as a Thirty-Second Degree Mason. Instead he comments on organized Masonry in general. On pages 13-14 he attempts to answer the charge that he himself may be a Mason. And here is his startling response: "So What?" (emphasis ours).

Then Welch continues to defend his strange (to put it mildly) defense by adding "At least ninety-five percent of the four million ordinary (observe that Pike told us what a 32nd Degree Mason believes -- a 32nd Degree Mason like Love is no ordinary Mason) American Masons are just as patriotic as you or I." Which kind of makes you wonder about Welch's concept of patriotism.

But he doesn't stop there. He goes on to state that he was invited on several occasions to "speak out against Communism at Masonic Lodges (p. 14)." And he assures us he did this with "no punches pulled." So he must have told them about Pike - the occult high philosopher of all organized Masonry. In fact Welch would have had to expose Pike if he was determined not to pull any punches. He would have had to do this because a man who believes "veracity is the very core of morality (p. 14)" would never conceal the truth. Or would he?

Andrew Lane, a member of the Belmont Staff, has stated the following in response to a concerned Bircher's inquiry (see reproduction of entire letter nearby): "Mr. Welch had made speeches exposing parts (emphasis ours) of the Communist Conspiracy before Masonic Lodges on several occasions." We wonder why Welch declined to expose the whole operation instead of just the "parts" Lane mentions. Certainly his speeches at some of these Lodges must have been recorded. If Welch has nothing to hide, why doesn't he make public to justifiably concerned members of the JBS the up-to-now secret comments which he himself has admitted making in Masonic Lodges, not just once, but on several occasions?

3. William Benton McMillan

McMillan is not listed anywhere, as far as we are concerned, as a 32nd Degree Mason. He was, however, a member of the St. Louis Committee of the Council on Foreign Relations (see reproduced page nearby from Power Behind The Government Today by Helen P. Lasell: Liberty Publications, 520 Fifth Avenue, N.Y., N.Y., 1963).

So McMillan, who was by the way present in Indianapolis for the founding of the Society and was the first Life Member of the Society -- see pages 258 and 274 of the LIFE AND WORDS OF ROBERT WELCH by G. Edward Griffin) was a member of what Dan Smoot has called the "Invisible Government." Any informed Bircher knows that the CFR is a subversive clique preparing to merge us into a Communist one-world Government. Read None Dare Call It Conspiracy for the full story.

5. J. Nelson Shepherd

Shepherd is a member of the quasi-Masonic Rotary Club, Elks Club, YMCA Board, and last -- but not least of all -- the very elite Newcomen Society. The current president of the Newcomen Society is Charles Penrose, Jr. Mr. Penrose has been its President since at least 1959. Penrose is a member in good standing of such sophisticated subversive one-world outfits as the "Pilgrims of the United States" and the "English-Speaking Union" (see reproductions of page 2456 of the 1976-1977 Who's Who in America (Volume II) and page 545 of Volume I of the Encyclopedia of Associations on a nearby page).

So that you may get an idea of the kind of people involved with the Pilgrims and the English-Speaking Union, we have reproduced nearby the remarks of the U.S. Congressman from Montana, the Hon. J. Thorlkelson, given in a speech to the U.S. House of Representatives on August 20, 1940:

Steps Toward British Union, a World State, and International Strife - Part III

REMARKS

of

HON. J. THORKELSON

OF MONTANA

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Tuesday, August 20, 1940

PAMPHLET BY JOHN J. WHITEFORD

Mr. THORKELSON. Mr. Speaker, under leave to extend my own remarks in the RECORD, I include a pamphlet by John J. Whiteford. This pamphlet should be of interest to every Member of Congress because it deals with a subject that will soon confront us, as it did in 1917:

In the past it has been largely responsible for drawing this country into the World War at a cost of thousands of our young men and billions of dollars and a long period of depression. It does not work openly and it is not generally recognized by the public. It does not yell from soap boxes in Union Square, call strikes, picket or hold parades. It operates from the top down and so it reaches into every juncture of American life. It is the far reaching power of British propaganda to make this country subservient to Great Britain and the British Empire.

The scene is a banquet held at the Hotel Plaza, New York City, October 25, 1939. This banquet was given by the Pilgrim Society of America in honor of the Marquess of Lothian, British Ambassador of the United States. It is an old custom of the American Pilgrims to extend this honor to every newly-appointed British Ambassador, the same as the British Pilgrims invite every new American Ambassador to their midst at a banquet in London.

There are several curious things about these Pilgrim functions. In the first place there is present a these dinners an array of notables, such as it would be difficult to bring together under one roof for any other purpose and by any other society. The Lothian dinner was no exception. Presiding over this affair was Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia University, and chairman of the American Pilgrim Society. Among the guests were John D. Rockefeller and J.P. Morgan, Thomas W. Lamont and other members of the House of Morgan. Frank L. Polk, Jeremiah Milbank, James W. Gerard (former American ambassador to Germany), the French Ambassador to the United States, Lt. Gen. Hugh A. Drum, U.S.A. Maj. Gen. John O. Harbord (chairman of the Radio Corporation of America), the Secretary of the Treasury, Henry Morgenthau, and many other leading figures in government, diplomacy, politics, finance, banking, shipping, law, industry, insurance and education. These men had come especially to honor Lord Lothian and to hear him speak. Before this important audience Lord Lothian's speech could not merely be a light after-dinner talk of clever stories and witticisms. It was an important as front-page news.

* * * * * *

A few prominent Pilgrim members, past and present, are listed below: J.P. Morgan, Russell Leffingwell, Henry P. Davison, John W. Davis, John D. Rockefeller, Harry Rockefeller, Ogden Mills Reid, Henry Morgenthau, Otto Kahn, Robert Fulton Cutting, James B. Clews, John B. Trevor, William Fellowes Morgan, Henry W. Taft, Adolph Ochs, James Speyer, Charles H. Rabin, Sir Ashley Sparks, George F. Trewbridge, Phillip Rhinelander, Andrew W. Mellon, Albert H. Wiggin. J. W. Hill, John F. O'Ryan, Frank L. Polk, George R. Goeshals, Julius Ochs Adler, Alfred I. Aiken, Herbert I. Aldrich, John Whitney, W.B. Whitney, Cornelius Vanderbilt, Vincent Astor, Julius S. Bache, Robert Lew Boron, Ancell H. Bail, David H. Biddle, Robert W. Bigelow, Irving T. Bush, Newcomb Carleton, Joseph H....

In the nature of their exclusive membership and... the Pilgrims may be termed the wholesale agency for promoting the interests of Britain in this country. It is strictly a Tory organization. The retail outlet is the more widely known English-Speaking Union, which has for its avowed purpose:

"To draw together in the bond of comradeship the English-Speaking people of the United States and of the British Empire by the disseminating knowledge of each in the other and by reverence for their common institutions."

It is interesting to note that the English-Speaking Union originated in London in the fateful year of 1917 when America bared her strong arm in defense of democracy. Like the Pilgrims, the English-Speaking Union has a British organization with headquarters in London and an American branch with central offices in New York. The purposes of the two organizations are virtually the same and there is an interlocking directorate and membership.

The patron of the English-Speaking Union (London) is His Majesty the King. The honorary president of the American English-Speaking Union is the prominent Pilgrim, John W. Davis, successor to the late Walter Hines Page as America's wartime Ambassador to the Court of St. James, Presidential Candidate in 1924, and member of J.P. Morgan & Co. As treasurer of the American English-Speaking Union is listed Harry P. Davison, also a Morgan partner whose father was instrumental in having J.P. Morgan & Co. appointed exclusive purchasing agents for the British Government in America during the World War. Another director of the English-...

[Editor's Note: The League of Nations documents that the Pilgrim Society elites also funded the CFR & RIIA.]

Elitist clubs like the Pilgrims and much less sophisticated offshoots from Masonry like the YMCA and the seemingly innocuous Elks and Rotary Clubs are in reality philosophically interconnected sects within the overall Masonic framework of the Luciferian tradition of Albert Pike. Pope Leo XIII pointed this out in his famous Encyclical, Humanum Genus:

"There exists in the world a certain number of sects which although seemingly different one from another as to name, ritual, form and origin are, however, similar due to the analogy of their aim and chief principles. Indeed, they are identical to Freemasonry which is, for them all, the central point from which they proceed and toward which they converge." (Leo XIII, as quoted by Monseigneur Jouin:
The Papacy and Freemasonry
, pp. 3,4)

Organizations such as the YMCA comprise the type of sects, though different in name, yet similar in general Masonic principles to the cardinal tenets of Freemasonry which Leo XIII warned against in Humanum Genus. Years later Pope Benedict XV noted this in his condemnation of November 5, 1920 and prior to this in a letter from the Holy Office to the Ordinaries on June 15, 1916 (a letter which called upon their vigilant attention because of special new machinations being directed against the Faith by anti-Catholic organizations -- foremost among them being the YMCA. In the letter of November 5, Benedict XV stated: "The YMCA intends to purify and spread a more perfect knowledge of real life placing itself above all Churches and outside of any religious jurisdiction." (Benedict XV, as quoted by Monsigneur Jouin, op.cit., p. 28)

6. Robert Waring Stoddard

Stoddard is Mr. Big on the Council. He too was a director and president of the YMCA. Even more interesting is that he is Chairman of the Board of the Worcester Telegram and Gazette (this according to the 1976-1977 Who's Who In America, page 3030 -- see reproduction nearby) --influential papers whose editors belong to the local Committee of the Council on Foreign Relations.

When John F. McManus -- during a speech he gave in Worcester, Massachusetts in the summer of 1973 -- was asked by a reporter from the Gazette about the patent contradiction of Birch Council Member Stoddard allowing CFR members to determine editorial policy for his paper, Birch Society Public Relations Director McManus replied, "Why don't you ask Bob Stoddard?" The next day McManus was severely chewed out by Welch himself for "embarrassing" Stoddard. Jack was so upset over the incident that he told the whole story to his research assistant who just happened to be this writer during that particular summer.

Stoddard is Mr. Establishment Massachusetts. After all, a Director of the First National Bank of Boston, the Wyman-Gordon Company, and the Raytheon Company (a good size defense contractor) is the Establishment. We wonder about his dedication to the "cause" which so many less fortunate Birchers have given their all for. Or perhaps Stoddard knows better? And like Welch would simply say, "So What?"

9. Louis Ruthenberg

The late Ruthenberg, like the living Bill Grede, was a Director of a Federal Reserve Bank -- this one in St. Louis. Thus we have another man who was once on the Council associated in a major way with the infamous Federal Reserve System.

10. Ralph E. Davis

Davis is another Mason on the Council. We are not told what degree he it. Not that it matters all that much however, for the lower degrees supply the pool for the higher degrees. So for all we know Davis may be a 34th Degree Mason. That would even make him higher than Albert Lantoine -- a Mason who aroused a great deal of controversy with his Lettre au Souverain Pontife in 1937. Masons of any degree should, if they are truly consistent - concur with his following observation.

"There is a higher sphere where knowledge and Faith, though they cannot meet, can at least tolerate one another. To those seeking the one, to those who possess the other, they give the same delights and the same anguish. There is much purity and grandeur in the words of the philosophers in the Word of the Redeemer.

So much the better, I say.
Possessing critical and inquiring minds, we are the servants of Satan. You the guardians of truth, are the servants of God. These two complement one another. Each needs the other
." Albert Lantaine, as quoted in
Freemasonry and the Vatican
, p. 111.

.

12. Cola Godden Parker

Parker was also mentioned in the February, 1960 Bulletin (p. 4) by Welch. Although Welch forgot to mention that he was both a Mason and a member of the mysterious Newcomen Society (whose president, Charles Penrose, Jr. is directly tied in with the subversive Pilgrims and English-Speaking Union). Observe page 2106 of the 1950-51 Who's Who reproduced nearby.

1. Martin J. Condon, III

Condon is a non-Council member whose name appears on the Editorial Advisory Committee of American Opinion magazine. It appeared on the flyleaf of a recent 1976 issue (see page nearby.) He is a director of Schering-Plough Corporation, one of the many publicly-held corporations represented by members of the JBS Council. Condon, according to Who's Who in America, 1976-77 (see reproduction nearby of page 634), is also a member of the mysterious Newcomen Society.

2. George Schuyler - Contributing Editor to American Opinion

Schuyler is reputed to be a "conservative" journalist. Yet in 1934-35 he was -- according to volume 2 page 2795 of Who's Who in America 1976-77 (reproduced nearby) -- a special assistant in publicity for no less a notorious organization for the NAACP. From 1937 to 1944 he was business manager of the NAACP publication: The Crisis. For those of you who are unaware of the Communist connections of the NAACP, check it out in Volume One of the Biographical Dictionary of the Left by Francis X. Gannon -- available at the nearest bookstore. We are in the process of completing a study of the other current connections of Mr. Schuyler listed at the bottom of the attached Who's Who and we intend to publish these disturbing facts in an upcoming book.

3. E. Merrill Root - Former Associate Editor of American Opinion

Root, prior to his death a number of years ago, had numerous articles published in American Opinion -- not to mention those which appeared in Review of the News. Western Island (the JBS publishing affiliate) published the book, America's Steadfast Dream. He was also a close confidant and personal friend of Robert Welch.

Imagineour surprise when his name appeared in the index of a New York State Investigating Committee (see the title page of the Investigation and the article in question) which was charged with exposing the Communist Conspiracy in America in the early 1920's under the leadership of the Hon. Clayton R. Lusk.

Perhaps Welch will say "So What?" to this coincidence also.

IV. The Official JBS Position on Freemasonry

As we have already mentioned, Welch's position on having High Level Masons involved with the Society is: "So What?" And just to show you that we are not kidding about this or, as Welch would say, "pulling punches," we now present an uncut, uncensored official JBS reply to a specific inquiry by a then JBS member.

December 20, 1972

Dear Mr. Leiske,

The JBS has no position on Freemasonry. Some of our staunchest JBS members are also Masons. George Washington was a Mason, seek the highest degree he could earn, and so were many others among our Founding Fathers. The Boston Tea Party was perpetrated by an adjourned meeting of Masons. Dr. Joseph Warren, one of the instigators of the American War of Independence, was head of all the Masons in America. The Masons today are usually the outstanding and solid citizens of their communities. Beyond the earned degree, there may be other degrees, upon open invitation, so secret that no one but those inside know about them. It is in these upper echelons that the Conspiracy may have taken root, or may use the lower echelons as a recruiting ground. But that is only conjecture or opinion. It is not a position.

As for Dr. Stuart Crane, he is developing into a king-sized troublemaker and neutralizer and source of divisiveness. The less you listen to him, the more effective you will be as a fighter against the Communist Conspiracy.

May you have a very merry Christmas and emerge from the holiday... with a renewed spirit for this fight.

Sincerely yours, Andrew Lane

But Leiske was not satisfied. Like most well-meaning Birchers, all he wanted was a straight answer (Belmont was not fond of giving these). He sent to Lane some substantiation of his charges. And Lane replied (see nearby reproduction -- Also note Lane states he is related to a number of Mason.)

February 20, 1973

Dear Mr. Leiske,

The information you sent on the Masonic Order is very revealing and I thank you for it. I know absolutely nothing about the Order and make no claim to, but I do know many members of the Order, have over the years worked with many of them in a book, and related to several, all of whom are of unquestioned patriotism and loyalty to all that is finest in American and in Christian traditions. Now, if it is true that the Communist Conspiracy has infiltrated the Masonic Order, that does not surprise me in the least. The Conspirators have infiltrated every organization worth infiltrating, including our churches.

As for the League of Just Men, what they profess is precisely the opposite of what promote privately. Please read the enclosed copy of "More Stately Mansions" for a quick reminder of what The League really wants to institute. Nothing could be further from the minds of the Masons I know.

I do not want to engage in an interchange or whatever with you over the Masonic Orders because I know nothing about them; and if I were the coward you seem to think I am, I would hardly be in the JBS.

Sincerely yours, Andrew Lane

But Leiske kept on asking questions Belmont could not (or would not) answer. Finally, in desperation, Belmont asked him to resign from the Society. This request came in a letter dated July 31, 1973, by Home Office Coordinator, John Fall. In his three page letter (copies available on request) Fall states:

"Having made our views in these areas abundantly clear in various publications with which you as a member should be familiar, and having summarized those views once again in this letter, we can only add the following for the record, and so as to dispel any suggestion that we are unwilling to answer such charges directly:

'Mr. Welch is not now, nor has he ever been a member of any Masonic order.'

'To the best of our knowledge
(emphasis ours -- N.B.) this is true also of the members of our Council, although we have never seen any need to poll them in this regard.'"

It is interesting to observe that Fall does not completely deny that some Council Members have been Masons. He qualifies his denial with the phrase: "To the best of our knowledge" This gives him an out should anyone happen to find an old copy of THE KANGAROO COURT VERSUS THE JOHN BIRCH SOCIETY collecting dust in his attic. Still, in view of the many new facts we are now bringing out, we suggest it is time for Fall and Belmont to reconsider the "need to poll them in this regard."

Naturally we don't expect such a thing to happen. Fall also included this phrase as a qualification in his letter to Leiske: "although we have never seen any need to (investigate the charges -- N.B.)" You would have to be deaf, dumb and blind not to see the need for such an investigation. Unless, of course, you knew the charges were true and wanted to prevent them from becoming widely-known to members of the John Birch Society. Color it a cover-up -- an art at which the BELMONT BROTHERHOOD is very proficient.

Fall, like a number of Staff people in Belmont, is ostensibly a Catholic. In fact, it has been said by a number of sources that some 50% of the JBS Staff is Catholic. If that indeed is the case, those Catholics had better do their homework. Masonry has been explicitly condemned by the Catholic Church for generations and has prohibited its members from cooperation in the propagation of Masonic ideas in any way whatsoever. Below we submit a partial list of the proclamations against Masonry issued by the Catholic Church in the hope that all Christians (especially those remaining Catholics on the JBS staff) give it some sober reflection.

V. The Unknown Soldier

The late E. Merrill Root, in his introduction to The Life and Words of Robert Welch, wrote the following paragraph:

"Until Robert Welch is fully known, he may well be the Unknown Soldier of our time. But in the time to come, if there is to be a future and a history for the United States of America, Robert Welch will be
revered
(emphasis ours) as the Unknown Soldier should be, with a
shrine and the undying flame
(emphasis ours). (E. Root, as quoted in
The Life and Words of Robert Welch,
p. xv).

That is quite a mouthful. Root talks of Welch as an object of reverence and mentions that a "shrine and the undying flame" would be appropriate. We feel obliged to point out that -- according to Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary -- another definition for revere is "to venerate, a regarding as holy, sacred, or sacrosanct." Welch, of course, shares that opinion of himself -- otherwise he would not have authorized the publication of his own biography (or should we add his autobiography since it was written by Stang in Belmont under Welch's own personal direction several months prior to its publication by G. Edward Griffin). We suspect that Welch's "shrine" will be the John Birch University he has talked so much about. The average Bircher is dedicated to winning the "battle" and saving his family form Communism, not in building shrines like John Birch University to Welch. When this writer worked on the JBS Staff with Welch, Welch's obsession with his University was beginning to upset the membership and even some people on the Staff who felt the "battle" should be won first.

But Welch always maintained John Birch University was paramount in his plans for the "movement". That movement (not what misled Birchers incorrectly perceive it to be) is what we intend to discuss now. In doing so, however, we do not intend to review again the repeated examples of moral turpitude in the Belmont office; the frequent instances of Birch (Belmont level) No-Win policies sabotaging local JBS operations; the questionable accounting practices to inflate the Society's financial reports; state investigations of illegal JBS securities transactions; nepotism financed by membership dues and donations and the vicious smear campaigns directed against those Birchers who dared to speak out. Much of this material has already been covered in THE BELMONT CONSPIRACY OF SILENCE and THE ANATOMY OF A SMEAR as well as in the well-documented material of John DeFriend. Many more details will emerge in our forthcoming book -- of which this brief article is just a short preview.

In all of the preceding material, we were content to expose what was going on in Belmont without attempting to give our theories as to why such strange things were happening. But now we believe we have the answers -- answers which may explain why Welch's only explanation so far has been: "So What?" And believe it or not, most of the answers can be found in the Blue Book of the John Birch Society.

So let's look at some sections of it to discover exactly what Welch believes. Welch's reflections on religion and Christianity in particular strongly resemble those of Freemasonry. Most important of all, Welch proclaims Christianity has failed:

Through many centuries Christianity, despite all of its splits and schisms, supplied the fabric of morality for the whole Western World - through its threats of punishment, promises of rewards, and the humanizing effect of its proffered love by and for a Divine Father.
But despite all the billions of words that have been written to the contrary, that fabric is now pierced and torn and weakened beyond dependability
(emphasis ours). For a vast majority of those who proclaim themselves Christians today, and attend Church Services, do not really and literally believe in either the punishments, the rewards (note he never explains how he found this out) or even in the physical and biological existence of a Divine Father with any interest in their personal lives and actions.
The momentum of a former belief, and the customs which grew out of it, still have great value. But the fabric is worn too thin to have its old effectiveness. (The Blue Book,
p. 52)

Welch feels Christianity still has some momentum left. But the essential fabric, in his opinion, is worthless and "weakened beyond dependability." He proposes a new faith, one which is a "broader and more encompassing faith (actually it was not new at all -- it was as old as Freemasonry) to which we can all subscribe without any of us doing any violation to the more specific doctrines of his own creed or altars of his own devotion." (Blue Book, p. 53) As any critical reader can see, these quotations definitively place Welch within the orthodox (even the occult Pike would approve) realm of Freemasonry. The concept of a broad toleration of al beliefs is a calling card of Masonry. All one need believe is the universal upward reach potential of humanity in general. Welch believes in that too -- in fact, it forms the central dogma of his "new" faith. Only a universal Masonic faith could link the philosophy of the Catholic Hilaire Belloc with that of the agnostic Thomas Jefferson which Welch describes on page fifty-three of The Blue Book.

On pages 138-141 Welch outdoes himself. On page 140 he states: "One philosopher will tell you that the possession of these upward traits in some species was purely an accident of nature, another that it was due to the plan of a Divine Being. To me they are both saying the same thing." Observe the similarity of that to this statement of Albert Lantoine, a 33rd Degree Mason:

"There is a higher sphere where knowledge and faith, though they cannot meet, can at least tolerate one another. To those seeking the one, to those who possess the other, they give the same delights and the same anguish. There is as much parity and grandeur in the words of the philosophers as in the Word of the Redeemer." (Albert Lantoine, as quoted by Vicomte Leon de Poncins,
Freemasonry and the Vatican
, p. 11)

Welch points out the problem results not only from a loss of faith in God but also in man. As he puts it: "And putting that matter bluntly at once, the reason is simply loss of faith. Not just loss of faith in God and all His works but loss of faith in man and his works too, in his reasons for existence, in his purposes, and in his hopes." (The Blue Book, p. 47) But don't think that Welch is describing the same God Christianity worships. Welch clarifies this:

Let all of us thank
whatever God we severally worship
(the Masonic Great Architect of the Universe perhaps -- N.B.) that there is so large a remnant of the really true believers still left.
We
(who is we? People like 33rd Degree Albert Lantoine and 32nd Degree Bob Love perhaps -- N.B.) honor them. We
need
(to use for what purpose? -- N.B.) their steadying adherence to the rock of reverence, and their aspiration of unwavering obedience to
ancient and Divine Commandments
(observe he does not say which ancient and Divine Commandments). (
The Blue Book,
p. 47)

Welch tells you what he is. His diabolical genius resides in the fact that he said it all nearly twenty years ago without his words being taken at face value. Read The Blue Book carefully and you will discover that he believes (like Albert Pike) man, by giving free rein to his noblest aspirations (or his "upward reach" as he puts it) is sufficient to save humanity. As 33rd Degree Mason Oswald Wirth explained it:

The object of the ancient mysteries was to make men like unto gods. The
mystery
took on more of the divine nature as it rose morally and intellectually further beyond the level of common humanity. The programme of Initiation has not changed even in our own day: the modern Mason, too, also becomes more divine, but he realizes that he can only become so if he works divinely, that is, by completing the unfulfilled task of creation. Raised above the level of man's animal nature, the Builder, by carrying out the divine plan, himself became a god, in the ancient sense of the word. (O. Wirth, Le Livre du Compagnon, p. 74 - as quoted by Vicomte Leon de Poncins,
Freemasonry and the Vatican,
p. 88)

In the beginning of this pamphlet you may remember the quote form 1984 where Winston asked O'Brien: "Does the Brotherhood exist?" To which we respond: "Yes, Winston, there is a Brotherhood." It is Freemasonry. Its ancient Commandments are as old as Christianity itself. Freemasonry conceives of God as the deity immanent in nature (so does Welch -- the leader of The Belmont Brotherhood) and it is in this life force or energy that it deifies, venerates and worships under the name The Great Architect of the Universe. This is the only "God" of Freemasonry. This is the only "God" of Welch (see pages 140-144 of The Blue Book). And those, who with Spencer (Welch's favorite philosopher by the way, see Blue Book, p. 51) and other naturalist philosophers of the age call the hidden all-powerful principle working in nature, God, are acknowledged by the craft as Freemasons, whether or not they have been formally initiated into the institution. A Mason then is one who (like Welch and Pike) believes this life energy in nature, in the totality of its various qualities, is the Divine nature or the true God, though he never may have been initiated into the Order itself.

Fantastic? Of course it's fantastic. But everything we are talking about is fantastic. We are living in fantastic times and a fantastic situation. Or as Welch said in The Blue Book (p. 96): "We are in circumstances where it is realistic to be fantastic."

So let's be realistic here. The reason why Welch said "So What?" is because he is on the side of Freemasonry. No other explanation is possible. To try to explain away these passages in The Blue Book and Welch's nebulous position on Freemasonry is like insisting the earth is flat. But, unfortunately for Welch, we know that it is not.

You may object: 'Look at all the great things Welch has done - he has exposed the Illuminati.' Baloney. The Illuminati was merely a branch of the Conspiracy. How can one attack the Illuminati without attacking the diabolical power behind it: organized Freemasonry? Welch has provided the most valuable service of all time to the Conspiracy. He founded an organization to neutralize millions of Americans from discovering what the true power behind the Illuminati really was. And we concede the Mason's chose an extremely clever man to do the job. Welch, with the help of the Belmont Brotherhood, plays his role very effectively.

This author and countless other former Birchers and Staff members will be smeared for bringing these facts to life. But that no longer matters to us, for our enemy is Belmont, and we do not intend to lose sight of that fact for a minute. We are fighting the Masonic Belmont Brotherhood -- nobody else. Being fully aware of the imminence and horror of the danger we face from that source, we have no intention of being distracted by the carping of our friends, or of those who should be our friends and we hope will be our friends in time. For if we do there is entirely too much likelihood -- as we have already said elsewhere many times -- that in a few short years we shall all be hanging from the same lamp posts, while MASONIC TERROR reigns around us.

Our greatest problem, however, has been neither the lies of Belmont nor its subsequent recriminations. It has been the difficulty of getting the average Bircher to sit up and take an honest look at what is really happening. Contributing most to that difficulty are three factors. First is the apathy of the Birchers, induced by the incessant cackling of the Belmont chorus: "There is nobody here but us conservatives." Second is the vested interest in error, now held by so many thousands of Birchers (though it is, thank God, rapidly decreasing due mainly to the activities of The Belmont Brotherhood). They have accepted and believed so much Belmont propaganda in the past that they must now defend it as their own. Third is a circumstance which, unlike the other two, has not been created by The Belmont Brotherhood itself. But it has long been depended on by the Brotherhood, and is still depended on by them, as one of the greatest forces working in their favor. This is the fact that the fundamentally decent Bircher simply refuses to grasp the kind of enemy with which he now has to deal.

It is our hope that this small preview of what is to come will serve to give any interested individual a clear understanding of what we are trying to do and why it must be done, in this project for which we are now receiving so much help and encouragement from all parts of the country.

Sincerely,

THE JOHN BIRCH SOCIETY

By Barbara Aho

With the onset of the McCarthy era 50 years ago, any perceived threat to U.S. sovereignty from the British Round Table and its American branch shifted to an obsession with the Soviet Union. Roy Cohn, who was legal counsel to Sen. Joseph McCarthy during the anti-Communist Senate investigations of the 1950s, would later become a member of the John Birch Society and a principle figure in the JBS intelligence gathering operation, the Western Goals Foundation. Out of the latter emerged the core group which, in 1981, formed the present Council for National Policy -- a consortium of high level political, corporate and evangelical leaders which is the primary coordinating body and funding conduit for Christian Right projects.

Sara Diamond's book,
Roads to Dominion: Right-Wing Movements and Political Power in the United States
, notes: "Before and after the formation of the John Birch Society, corporations played a major role in rallying the public to the anticommunist cause."
In 1947, the Taft-Hartley Act granted corporations the right to distribute literature to counter labor union organizing -- a movement they blamed on the communists. To reduce the cost of producing and distributing anti-Communist materials, corporations turned to non-profit organizations such as the JBS.

"By 1963, corporations were spending an estimated $25 million per year on anticommunist literature... Some corporations circulated print and audio-visual materials produced by the John Birch Society; other corporations produced their own in-house literature...By the early 1960s, the Nation magazine reported that there was a minimum of 6,600 corporate-financed anticommunist broadcasts, carried by more than 1,300 radio and television stations at a total annual budget of about $20 million...Leading sponsors included Texas oil billionaire H.L. Hunt and Howard J. Pew of Sun Oil. The corporate sector's massive anticommunist propaganda campaigns created a favorable climate for the mobilization of activist groups like the John Birch Society."
.

On the other hand, or rather the other side of the dialectic, super-capitalists such as John D. Rockefeller would come to understand the potential of using labor unions to corporate advantage -- as a means of controlling the opposition.

"The Rockefeller interests have not overlooked and have made good use of the monopoly of labor that is afforded to unions, to effect monopolies of industry that would be recognized as illegal if they had been effected by a monopoly of machinery. Labor unions have proved to be a powerful weapon for the Rockefeller Empire in extending its world conquest; and subsidized unioneers are always in the forefront of the emissaries that they send out into newly conquered territories. With Marxism as a shibboleth, they are rapidly accomplishing a world-wide subjugation of the 'peasantry'. This has earned for wily John D. Jr. a reputation for 'liberalism'. It is more appropriately called "Rockefellerism".

In the long march toward a new social order, ultra-right and left-wing agitation propaganda serve not only to polarize and destabilize society, they create a diversionary conflict to prevent recognition of the true conspiracy. Lest an informed and united citizenry form an alliance against them, principles of conflict management are employed by the power elites:

"The plan, I think, is the old one of world dominion in a new form. The money-power and revolutionary power have been set up and given sham but symbolic shapes ('Capitalism' or 'Communism') and sharply defined citadels ('America' or 'Russia'). Such is the spectacle publicly staged for the masses. But what if similar men, with a common aim, secretly rule in both camps and propose to achieve their ambition through the clash between those masses? I believe any diligent student of our times will discover that this is the case. -- Douglas Reed"
.

In his essay on the unseen hand behind This Age of Conflict, Ivor Benson reveals the natural partnership that exists between ostensibly opposing forces -- for example, the fascist Rhodes-Milner Round Table and Fabian socialists -- to secure a common objective, namely, the subjugation of mankind:

"
Significantly Julius Wernher, of the Wernher-Beit conglomerate that supported Milner's effort to precipitate the Anglo-Boer War, contributed substantially to the funding of the London School of Economics and socialist movements everywhere, all vehemently 'anti-capitalists', continued to receive massive support from the most powerful 'capitalists.'

"
It was because of the absence of any fundamental antagonism between the philosophies of John Ruskin and of Karl Marx that it was possible for the 'Brave new World' ambition, so actively promoted by Rhodes and his heirs, to be absorbed into the socialist world-power vortex with hardly a sign that anything untoward had happened. In fact, the international socialists, instruments of the most highly concentrated financial power, were able to take over the Rhodes-Milner establishment, complete with its worldwide network of organizations the Rhodes Scholarship Trust, the Royal Institute of International Affairs, the Council on Foreign Relations, the Trilaterals, etc -- and continue to run it as if still under its original management; indeed, it simply gave the socialists a new Dimension for the exercise of their incomparable skill in the arts of deception."

Carroll Quigley and colleagues of like sympathy with the Rhodes agenda have widely propagated the belief that the American branch of the Round Table organization is exclusively the liberal Eastern Establishment. However, The Belmont Brotherhood revealed that the Anglo-American Establishment, which represents the interests of the aforesaid corporations, also launched the ultra-conservative movement in the United States, the John Birch Society being a pioneer of the extreme right of this dialectical process.

Produced in 1977 by a group of former high-ranking JBS members, "The Belmont Brotherhood" refers to the National Council at Belmont, Massachusetts where JBS national headquarters were originally located. Various sources cited therein document that the early members of the John Birch Society were also members of the liberal Establishment they pretended to oppose, and represented in great measure the corporate interests of America, which are advanced by the oaths of loyalty to one another in a secret brotherhood -- organized Freemasonry. This 12-page report concluded with the perceptive observation that the John Birch Society represents the most diabolical form of the Illuminati conspiracy:

"You may object: 'Look at all the great things [Founder, Robert] Welch has done - he has exposed the Illuminati.' Baloney. The Illuminati was merely a branch of the Conspiracy. How can one attack the Illuminati without attacking the diabolical power behind it: organized Freemasonry? Welch has provided the most valuable service of all time to the Conspiracy. He founded an organization to neutralize millions of Americans from discovering what the true power behind the Illuminati really was. And we concede the Mason's chose an extremely clever man to do the job. Welch, with the help of the Belmont Brotherhood, plays his role very effectively."
.

The Introduction to a 1967 reprint of John Robison's Proofs of a Conspiracy (a 1789 expose of the Illuminati), published by the Birch-owned Western Islands publisher, disallowed that there could be present connections between the Illuminati and Freemasonry. According to the JBS, the Illuminati are the forefathers of Communism, but not of Freemasonry, which is held in the highest regard as a patriotic organization by the John Birch Society.

"Robison, a former Mason himself, found that 'this impunity [from authority by maintaining the Masonic rule of secrecy] had gradually encouraged men of licentious principles to become more bold, and to teach doctrines subversive of all our notions of morality.' Let us be quick to say that Freemasonry in England, America and elsewhere has historically, and today is, quite another kind and its members characterized by high standards of morality and spirituality...

"The true purpose of the [illuminati] Order was to rule the world. To achieve this it was necessary for the Order to destroy all religions, overthrow all governments, and abolish private property...This is exactly what the Communists have been doing since 1848! Please note that Robison makes it clear that the Illuminati Order was quite distinct and separate from Freemasonry...[the] conspiracy [was] conceived not by Masons as Masons, but by evil men using Freemasonry as a vehicle for their own purposes...In the realm of ideology, certainly the line from the Illuminati Order to the Communist Manifesto is straight and unbroken...

"Let it be stressed that the present publication of Robison's work is not intended to open old wounds or create new animosity or distrust toward Freemasonry, whose adherents today certainly number among our staunchest patriots and anti-Communists... The conspirators have long since discarded Freemasonry as their vehicle. If clever conspirators could use - of all groups - so fine a group as the Masons, we must open our minds to consider what infinite possibilities are available to them in our own present day society. Their main habitat these days seems to be the great subsidized universities, tax-free foundations, mass media communications, governmental bureaus such as the State Department, and a myriad of private organizations such as the Council on Foreign Relations..."

Contrary to the JBS position on Freemasonry are the facts of history. Organized Freemasonry has proven itself over centuries to be a secret society which foments revolution wherever it establishes a base of operation. That Masonry binds its initiates to a code of conduct antithetical to patriotism is the subject of a lengthy and well-documented series titled America's Subversion: The Enemy Within. Facts substantiated by the writings of Masonic scholars and determined by U.S. state legislature investigations provide abundant proof that, within the United States, there is a fifth column dedicated to the overthrow of its constitutional government. The Constitution of Freemasonry, written in 1721 by Dr. John Anderson of Aberdeen, Scotland, laid the groundwork for universal treason, rather than loyalty to country:

"'James Anderson's son, Dr. James Anderson, in 1721 went about rewriting Freemasonry's Constitutions for the Grand Lodge of England. However, the precedence for obstruction and perversion of justice would later be documented in Freemasonry's expansion to American soil, both in a structure of oaths and in practice. American soil would also witness the murder of Capt. Morgan who revealed Masonic secrets to the public and who was murdered pursuant to Masonic oaths of retribution. Such oaths include in the Royal Arch degree the concealment of crimes by fellow Masons, murder and treason not excepted. Dr. James Anderson's improvements to written constitutions of the time in England have evidently not so much altered the underlying substance of Freemasonry as it has in serving the interests of providing a strategic or tactical move at the time.

"Dr. James Anderson was born in Aberdeen in about 1680. After becoming a minister in the Church of Scotland, he made his way to London. In 1721 he started rewriting Freemasonry's Constitutions 'in a new and better method'. He claimed he was asked to do this by the new Grand Lodge of England (founded in 1717 when four lodges came together under one authority), but he may have suggested it himself...' (p. 36
Inside the Brotherhood
, Martin Short, 1989)

"
Masonry's Aberdeen spirit had entrenched itself on American soil. Oaths of secrecy, oaths swearing penalties of death for breaches of secrecy, oaths swearing to obstruct and pervert justice, oaths swearing to cover-up crimes of fellow Masons, crimes not excepting murder and treason, had defined an esoteric, inner value system, veiled by exoteric principles of charity and brotherhood. The 'blue code of silence' which has even in modern times eaten away at America's law enforcement community, countenancing drug dealing and even murder by sworn officers of the law, in principle has reflected Masonic code subverting justice, not excepting murder, not excepting even treason.

THE WESTERN GOALS FOUNDATION

John Birch Society founder, Robert Welch, was succeeded upon his death in 1983 by the former Congressman Larry McDonald. Lawrence Patton McDonald was a cousin of George S. Patton, Jr., the famous general who was killed in an automobile accident at the conclusion of World War II. 9. According to "
Conspiracies of World War II
" by J.S. Craig, "The common rumor in Germany at the time was that Patton was assassinated due to his wish to join forces with Germany and attack Russia. Patton had openly admitted that the Allies had defeated 'the wrong enemy' and repeatedly praised German industry and the discipline of its people." 10. E. H. Cookridge also recorded Gen. Patton's pro-Nazi attitude and subsequent demise in
Gehlen: Spy of the Century
-- an expose of the CIA's recruitment of high-level Nazi espionage agents:

"...General Patton was dreaming of rearming a couple of Waffen SS divisions to incorporate them into his US Third Army 'and lead them against the Reds'. Patton had put this plan quite seriously to General Joseph T. McNarney, deputy US military governor in Germany, who had relayed Marshall Zhukov's complaint that the Third Army was too slow in disbanding and confining German units in its Bavarian sector. 'What do you think those ****** bolshies think?' said Patton. 'We're going to have to fight them sooner or later. Why not now while our army is intact and we can kick the Red Army back into Russia? We can do it with my Germans...'

"
McNarney, petrified, reported this to his political advisor, Robert Murphy, who promptly asked Patton to come and see him. Patton was not in the least subdued. 'He inquired with a gleam in his eye', Murphy later wrote, 'whether there was any chance of going on to Moscow, which he said he could reach in thirty days, instead of waiting for the Russians to attack the United States.' The outcome of this and other indiscretions was that Eisenhower relieved Patton of his command on October 2, 1945. Two months later he was fatally injured in a car crash." 11.

Reinhard Gehlen was one of Adolf Hitler's chief intelligence officers, solely in charge of espionage against the Soviet Union. In 1945, Gehlen offered the United States his considerable experience, expertise and archives on Russia and satellite countries in return for immunity from prosecution as a war criminal. The newly established Central Intelligence Agency formed the "Gehlen Organisation" which was Gehlen's former network for anti-Soviet espionage. Located in West Germany and funded by the CIA, the Gehlen Organisation became the most powerful espionage establishment in Western Europe.

In 1979, Gen. Patton's cousin, Congressman Lawrence McDonald, founded the Western Goals Foundation in Arlington, Virginia as a front for the JBS intelligence network. McDonald directed the organization until his untimely death in the downing of the Korean airliner, KAL 007 in 1983, the year he also succeeded Robert Welch as JBS Chairman. Western Goals was discontinued in 1986 following a power struggle for McDonald's position. According to the Interhemispheric Resource Center GroupWatch, files of which are available on the IRC database, Western Goals had worked with Reinhard Gehlen:

"McDonald formed a foundation branch in West Germany in 1981. The organization, called the American-European Strategy Research Institute, was set up with a $131,982 injection from the U.S. office. That figure represented more than a third of Western Goals' operating budget at the time...

"The German affiliate is Western Goals Europe E.V.(5) This German branch is also known as the American-European Strategy Institute. It acknowledges working with Reinhard Gehlen, a former Nazi who has been honored by the elite lay Catholic organization, the Knights of Malta (SMOM).(8) SMOM gave its highest award of honor, the Gran Croci Al Merito Conplacca, to Gehlen in l948. Gehlen, who was not a Catholic, was awarded the honor because of his efforts in the 'crusade against godless Communism.' Gehlen headed Adolf Hitler's spy operations against the Soviet Union during World War II. After the war, he and his spy apparatus--staffed mostly by former Nazis--were recruited by the CIA. He became the first director of the BND, West Germany's intelligence agency." 12.

Western Goals drew on both private and official government files to become one of the largest and most influential private intelligence operations in the U.S. According to GroupWatch, Western Goals was able to bypass legal restraints placed on government intelligence agencies:

"...groups like Western Goals allow 'the ultra-right [to keep] tabs on its 'subversive' domestic opposition...' In Western Goals' case, this service was apparently not performed only for like-minded private groups. Elton Manzione quotes an East Coast police intelligence source as saying that Western Goals
had a reputation of acting as a 'clearinghouse' for some police departments whose intelligence-collecting functions were restricted by laws such as the Freedom of Information Act. Manzione noted that both the CIA and National Security Agency have received information from John Rees' Information Digest (see below).
(8)...According to a 1976 investigation by the New York Assembly's Office of Legislative Oversight, Information Digest was supplying information to the FBI, CIA, and the National Security Agency." 13.

The internal spying nature of the John Birch Society became known when its espionage against private citizens in connection with the LA Police Department was discovered:

"The final straw for the police commission occurred two months earlier, when it was discovered that files previously ordered destroyed had been squirreled away by an intelligence officer, Jay Paul, with the approval of his superiors. Investigators with search warrants seized ninety cartons of files from his mobile home and other locations. Paul was in the process of feeding this data into the computers of Western Goals, a private organization headed by Congressman Larry McDonald, and was also involved with Research West, an operation founded by ex-FBI agents which sold information to corporations. Typical of the files in these cartons was a four-decade dossier on a state supreme court judge, compiled to assess his possible bias against police intelligence practices." 14.

One of the earliest members of the Western Goals Foundation and its principal espionage agent was Birch Society member, John Rees, whose Information Digest supplied information to the FBI, CIA, and the National Security Agency. Instrumental in obtaining Rees' entrance to Western Goals was J. Peter Grace, who was also chairman of the Order of the Knights of Malta in the United States. President of W.R. Grace and Co. from 1945 until three years before his death in 1995, J. Peter Grace is profiled in Who's Who in America which lists among his credentials: Bachelor of Arts from Yale University in 1936, Assistant Secretary at W. R. Grace (1936), President and CEO (1945), Newcomen Society, Council on Foreign Relations, Knights of Malta (American Chapter of the Board of Founders), Knights of Malta President, address: 1114 Avenue of the Americas. 15.

THE KNIGHTS OF MALTA

Considering that the Newcomen Society and CFR to which J. Peter Grace belonged were branches of Cecil Rhodes's eugenics club,
The Round Table
, it is not out of character that Grace would be involved in
Project Paperclip
-- a post World War II CIA arrangement to remove classified information from dossiers so that former SS members and 900+ Nazi scientists could emigrate to the U. S. Hundreds of war criminals would find employment within government agencies and companies such as W.R. Grace chemical company. The
Covert Action Information Bulletin
documents the close relationship between Reinhard Gehlen, the CIA, the Knights of Malta and the Vatican (by now a Rothschild front), which had smuggled Nazi war criminals out of Europe through the infamous "rat lines":

"On November 17, 1948 SMOM awarded one of its highest honors, the Grand Cross of Merit, to Reinhard Gehlen, the Nazi chief of intelligence on the Soviet front. He was subsequently installed by the Americans as the first chief of West Germany's equivalent of the CIA, the Bundesnachtrichtdienst (BND: federal secret service), under West German Chancellor Adenauer, a devout Catholic who had received the Magistral Grand Cross personally from SMOM Grand Master Prince Chigi.

"After the appointment of Knight of Malta William Casey as head of the Central Intelligence Agency, and another Knight, James Buckley, as head of U.S. propaganda against Eastern Europe at Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, several historians noted with interest President Reagan's call during the summer of 1982 for a 'crusade' against the 'Evil Empire' in Eastern Europe. [including Balkans.....JP]" 16.

The CIA also funded Nazi/SMOM fronts, Radio Liberty and Radio Free Europe: "The present head of the Order in the United States is a prominent businessman, J. Peter Grace. Prior to 1971, Grace was associated with Radio Liberty and Radio Free Europe, both of which had been established by Reinhard Gehlen and funded by the CIA." 17. The Covert Action Information Bulletin describes the manner in which Radio Liberty, under the supervision of Grace and other prominent figures, functioned as a front for ex-Nazis:

"In 1950, the American Committee for Liberation from Bolshevism was created. The trustees included J. Peter Grace, Charles Edison, William Henry Chamberlain, H.J. Heinz II, Isaac Don Levine, and Eugene Lyons. The Committee (now known as Radio Liberty), under the guiding hand of the CIA's Frank Wisner, funded numerous emigre 'research institutes' which, according to John Loftus [see
UNHOLY TRINITY
], were 'little more than front groups for ex-Nazi intelligence officers'.'' 18.

The Sovereign Military Order of Malta or Knights of Malta is a fascist order comprised of several thousand Knights in Europe, North, Central and South America. The origin of the SMOM predates the Crusades which began in the twelfth century. According to the CAIB, "The Knights of Malta participated in the Crusades along with with the Knights Templar and Teutonic Knights. The Order of St. John recruited successfully among the European aristocracy and soon controlled extensive estates throughout the continent, assimilating those previously belonging to the Knights Templar which it had helped crush during the first two decades of the 14th Century, with the Templar leadership burned alive as heretics." It may be more accurate to say that the Knights Templar had become a become a criminal element whose dishonorable conduct required a change of personnel and therefore the mantle and holdings of the Templars were passed to the Knights of Malta. As Albert Pike put it, "The Templars were unintelligent and therefore unsuccessful Jesuits." (Morals & Dogma)

Although the Sovereign Military Order of Malta operates under the aegis of the Roman Catholic Church, the latter has become a front for the House of Rothschild which explains why Knights of Malta include prominent figures in business and government and the SMOM interlocks with other high level organizations of infamous reputation:

“Specifically, the Knights of Malta, Italian Masonic lodge ‘P2’, and Holy Roman Empire restorationists ‘The Priory of Sion’ have all been proven to be linked to the hierarchy of the Vatican. Global members of these fascist groups participate at the highest levels of the military, international politics, and finance. ‘P2’ (Propaganda 2) are perhaps the most visible, and are named after the propaganda machine of Nazi Joseph Goebbels, that effectively mind controlled the German people into believing their Rosicrucian racist ideology that led to the Holocaust." (Neo-Nazis)

"In addition to Casey, and James Buckley, its current members, or Knights [of Malta], after the feudal fashion, include Lee Iacocca, John McCone, William Buckley, Alexander Haig, Alexandre de Marenches (the chief of French Intelligence under Giscard d'Estaing, himself a Knight of SMOM), Otto von Hapsburg, and various leaders of the fascist P-2 Masonic lodge in Italy. While its organizational funding is relatively modest, its leverage is maximized by the presence of its Knights in key positions in other private and governmental structures throughout the world."

THE CONQUEST OF LATIN AMERICA

William Russell Grace founded
W. R. Grace & Co.
in Peru in 1854. The long history of W.R. Grace & Co. chronicles its global expansion and penetration of Latin America, in which region the Knights of Malta would later rebuild the Nazi network to conduct fascist operations. 20.

"[As of 1986] Grace, whose aides include another Knight of Malta, former United States Treasury Secretary
William Simon
, runs an organisation called Americares, of which he is chairman. A primary objective of Americares is to raise money for aid to Central America. The agency in charge of distributing this aid is the Order of Malta, working through its field organisation in El Salvadore, Guatemala and Honduras." 21.

"AmeriCares, with the help of Friends of the Democratic Center in Central America (Prodemca), conducted an advertising campaign in the U.S. on behalf of La Prensa. The ads for La Prensa solicited funds from the public to pay for the shipment of newsprint to Nicaragua.(28) Prodemca was a neoconservative group that provided U.S. government grants to La Prensa and sponsored pro-contra aid ads in U.S. newspapers using funds from
Oliver North's
secret aid network.(28)

"William Simon
and Prescott Bush Jr. are also members of the Knights of Malta, and Simon was also on Prodemca's national council. Both Prodemca and the Knights of Malta were involved in efforts to support the contras and/or private sector opposition groups in Nicaragua. Simon, who was Treasury Secretary under Richard Nixon, was also the chairman of the Nicaraguan Freedom Fund (NFF), a fundraising organization set up in l985 by the Washington Times, a newspaper owned by the Unification Church. The NFF was established to raise funds for the contras.(12,17)..." 22.

From 1982-95, J. Peter Grace (CFR) was Chairman of the Advisory Committee of AmeriCares, which included William E. Simon (CFR), Treasury Secretary under Richard Nixon. The Honorary Chair of AmeriCares is Zbigniew Brzezinski (BB/CFR/TC); Ambassador-At-Large is Barbara Bush and the Advisory Committee includes: Prescott S. Bush, Jr. [brother to former Pres. George Bush (CFR)], 33º Mason Gen. Colin L. Powell (ret.) (CFR) and Sol M. Linowitz (CFR/TC), chairman of Xerox Corp and officer of the World Future Society. Sol Linowitz was also a representative to the Organization of American States and co-founder in 1964 with David Rockefeller (CFR) of the International Executive Services Corp, an international business development organization for which Linowitz and Rockefeller received the Medal of Freedom Award in 1998. 23.

The Council on Foreign Relations was funded by the Rockefeller family and has functioned as its agency almost from its inception in 1919. The CFR and its British counterpart, the Royal Institute of International Affairs, were jointly founded by American and British Round Table members following the Paris Peace Conference. According to The Round Table,"Attendees included British and American secret society members who worked for the British Secret Service or the first U.S. central intelligence agency the INQUIRY." The historic meeting was described in Rockefeller "Internationalist": The Man Who Misrules the World.

"Conversations between Gen Tasker H. Bliss, Col. E. M. House, Prof. Archibald Cary Coolidge, Whitney H. Shepardson, Dr. James T. Shotwell and others of the American delegation, and British officials such as Sir Robert Cecil, Lionel Curtis, Sir Valentine Chirol, Lord Eustace Percy and Harold Temperley, led to a dinner meeting at the Majestic Hotel, Paris, on May 30, 1919. It was formally agreed that an organization should be created for the study of international affairs. The first two resolutions set forth the proposed form and substance of the undertaking: 'RESOLVED: That those present undertake to form an Institute entitled The Institute of International Affairs. Founded in Paris in 1919 comprised at the outset of two branches, one in the United Kingdom and one in the U.S...'" 24.

CFR member J. Peter Grace's collusion with the Rockefeller exploitation of Latin America was documented in Thy Will Be Done: The Conquest of the Amazon: Nelson Rockefeller and Evangelism in the Age of Oil:

"David [Rockefeller] made plans to absorb Nelson's old Inter-American Council and the Latin American Information Committee into the Business Group for Latin America. What emerged was the Council for Latin America (now called the Council for the Americas), which united more than 200 corporations with more than 80 percent of U.S. investments in Latin America into a common business front. David set up the council in a Manhattan townhouse across the street from the mansion Junior had give the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR)...

"David was not just a brother of one of the best known Americans in Latin America, and not just president of the Chase Bank. He also represented the Council for Latin America... Note 32... J. Peter Grace, chairman of W.R. Grace & Company and another leading figure in David's Council for Latin America." 25.

During the period of the Boland Amendment's ban on U.S. government involvement in Latin America, a network of private right-wing groups worked to subvert leftist governments by supporting rebel organizations such as the Nicaraguan Contras. Among these was the Western Goals Foundation whose principals included, besides Larry McDonald, John Rees, Roy Cohn and Gen. George S. Patton III, other persons of note with associations to Nazis, subversive organizations, organized crime, the FBI and CIA:

Major General John Singlaub (ret.)

"[singlaub] became CIA deputy chief in South Korea during the Korean War and served for two years in Vietnam during the 1960s. At that time, he was commander of the Joint Unconventional Warfare Task Force, known as MACSOG. In that role, he was one of the commanders of Operation Phoenix, although he denies having had a part in that program's infamous assassination and counterterror aspects. In 1978, as chief of staff of the United Nations Command in South Korea, he publicly condemned the decision of President Jimmy Carter to reduce the number of U.S. troops in the country. He was then forced to retire." 26.

Operation Phoenix was a terrorist and drug operation in Southwest Asia which would form the experiential basis for the later theatre of operation: Latin America.

"Professional assassinations manager Felix I. Rodriguez met with Bush aide Donald P. Gregg, officially and secretly, at the White House. Gregg then recommended to National Security Council adviser Robert 'Bud' McFarlane a plan for El Salvador-based military attacks on a target area of Central American nations including Nicaragua. Gregg's March 17, 1983 memo to [NSC adviser Robert] McFarlane said: 'The attached plan, written in March of last year, grew out of two experiences: '--Anti-Vietcong operations run under my direction in III Corps Vietnam from 1970-1972. These operations [see below], based on...a small elite force...produced very favorable results.'...

"
[CIA assassinations manager Felix I.] Rodriguez followed his CIA boss Ted Shackley to Southeast Asia in 1970. Shackley and Donald Gregg put Rodriguez into the huge assassination and dope business which Shackley and his colleagues ran during the Indochina war; this bunch became the heart of the 'Enterprise'' that went into action 15 to 20 years later in Iran- Contra. Shackley funded opium-growing Meo tribesmen in murder, and used the dope proceeds in turn to fund his hit squads. He formed the Military Assistance Group-Special Operations Group (MAG-SOG) political murder unit; Gen. John K. Singlaub was a commander of MAG-SOG; Oliver North and Richard Secord were officers of the unit. By 1971, the Shackley group had killed about 100,000 civilians in Southeast Asia as part of the CIA's Operation Phoenix."

THE WORLD-ANTICOMMUNIST LEAGUE

In the late seventies, John Singlaub became head of the World Anti-Communist League, in which capacity he engaged the services of J. Peter Grace and AmeriCares to supply arms to the Contra rebels in Nicaragua:

At the same time, Americares seems to share certain interests with the World Anti-Communist League (WACL), now directed by ex-Major General John Singlaub, who in 1978 was required to resign for defying the President. When the White House failed to win Congressional support for funding the Contras in Nicaragua, Ronald Reagan enlisted the support of the World Anti-Communist League and others. American journalists have legitimately wondered how much of this money and material is in fact being provided by J. Peter Grace's Americares organisation and distributed through the Knights of Malta. 28.

The World Anti-Communist League (WACL) was founded in 1966 as the public relations arm for the governments of Taiwan and South Korea to continue Hitler's policy of forming a unified front against communism. According to Inside the League, "It has since become something far more important: an instrument for the practice of unconventional warfare -- assassinations, death squads, sabotage -- throughout the world." Not only did the WACL adopt the techniques used by Nazis, but the Eastern European Nazi network as well:

"When most people think of Nazis, two images are evoked: aging war criminals, the Josef Mengeles and Klaus Barbies living in frightened obscurity somewhere in South America, or else of disenchanted youths, who, in brown shirts and jackboots, vandalize synagogues and march through city streets. But there is a third type of Nazi, who is far more powerful, public, and dangerous than the other two: these are the Croatians, Slovaks, Ukrainians, Latvians who carried out the German-dictated massacres, who never faced a Nuremberg, and who joined the World Anti-Communist League.

"The participation of these Eastern Europeans in the Holocaust remains one of the least-told stories in modern history. The reason this is so is simple: many of them were recruited by American and British intelligence, brought into the United States and Canada, allowed to rise to prominent positions in their emigré communities, and ultimately to revise history... Through their front groups and their involvement in American politics, the Nazi collaborators have blended in and become respectable."

"If one wants to find Nazi collaborators, it is only necessary to examine the European chapters of the World Anti-Communist League. With the creations of the World Anti-Communist League, there came into existence a worldwide network of fascism..." 29.

The first American League Chapter of the WACL was the American Council for World Freedom (ACWF), founded in 1970 by Lee Edwards, former director of Young Americans for Freedom, the youth organization of the John Birch Society. Edwards attracted many members of the New Right, such as Reed Irvine and Richard Viguerie, also Unification Church president, Neil Salonen. When the ACWF resigned from the WACL in 1975, due to mistrust from the Latin American League, convicted Nazi collaborator and racialist Briton, Roger Pearson, served as the American League president for three years:

...Pearson has traveled in New Right circles for many years, formerly as an editorial associate for such mainstream organizations as the
Heritage Foundation
and the American Security Council... On the other [hand], he is a white supremacist who warns of the dangers of whites breeding with 'inferior' stock... and bragged to an associate about his alleged role in hiding Nazi doctor Josef Mengele, the infamous 'Angel of Death' of the Auschwitz extermination camp. He is also the man who, as world chairman of the World Anti-Communist League in 1978, was responsible for flooding the European League chapters with Nazi sympathizers and former officers of the Nazi SS... 30.

Pearson, a member of the British Eugenics Society, was educated at the London School of Economics, which was funded by fellow eugenicists Henry Ford and the Fabian Society for the purpose of training an elite caste to govern a new social order: "Obtaining his bachelor of science in anthropology from the University of London in 1951 and his master's in economics in 1954, Pearson showed an early interest in eugenics...He wrote several books on the subject, including Eugenics and Race and Race and Civilization." 30. Pearson was relocated to the United States in 1965 by Willis Carto, head of the anti-Semitic Liberty Lobby, and became editor of Carto's magazine, Western Destiny.

Roger Pearson's successor as head of the American WACL was John Singlaub, whose high level and government connections restored an appearance of respectability to the WACL. Serving on the advisory board were such notables as Howard Phillips of Conservative Caucus, Andy Messing of the National Defense Council and Fred Schlafly, husband of Phyllis Schlafly of Eagle Forum. The membership also included several high-ranking military officers such as Lt. Gen. Daniel O. Graham, former head of the Defense Intelligence Agency and former member of the advisory board of CAUSA USA, the political arm of Sun Myung Moon's Unification Church. With the help of Oliver North, John Singlaub would enable the Contra resistance in Nicaragua, assisting David Rockefeller and J. Peter Grace with the corporate takeover of Latin America:

In 1984, Singlaub headed a Pentagon panel called to make recommendations on conducting military activities in Central America. The panel's report urged the U.S. to emphasize nonconventional, counterinsurgency warfare strategies.(9,10) Under the Reagan administration, Singlaub received assistance and guidance from White House and National Security Council (NSC) officials for his "private" contra-supply activities. He identified former NSC aide Oliver North as his liaison to the White House. 32.

Lt. Col. Oliver North

A diagram found in Oliver North's safe showed [Western Goals executive director] Linda Guell's name written above the words "Western Goals." The note on the diagram said that Guell worked with CAUSA (a political arm of the Unification Church) and its head, Bo Hi Pak, and made trips to Germany and South Korea. The word "money" was written over Guell's name, with an arrow pointing to Rob Owen, North's courier to the contras. Arrows were also drawn from Owen's name to Guell's and from Andy Messing -- a private contra supporter and head of the National Defense Council Foundation -- to Western Goals. The diagram was drawn at the bottom of a letter from Fawn Hall to "Phil [Mabry] and Randy," dated April 18, 1985.(4,20) Guell is now working with John Singlaub at the Singlaub Freedom Foundation... 33.

Daniel Graham

Lt. Gen. Graham (see Govt Connections) is director of the defense lobby High Frontier.(9,14) He is also a member of the World Anti-Communist League--an organization which until recently was headed by John Singlaub. Graham is a former member of the advisory board of CAUSA USA, the political arm of the Rev. Sun Myung Moon's Unification Church...

Daniel Graham has written pamphlets for Western Goals. Graham is former head of the Defense Intelligence Agency... John Singlaub, Daniel Graham, and Mildred Jefferson, are members of the national policy board of the American Freedom Coalition, a political organization with extensive ties to the Unification Church... 34.

Sherman Unkefer

Larry McDonald, John Rees, and Sherman Unkefer were members of the John Birch Society... Sherman Unkefer served as an adviser to Chile's regime under Augusto Pinochet. Unkefer reportedly worked closely with Chile's secret police organization, DINA. 35.

Mildred Jefferson

John Singlaub, Daniel Graham, and Mildred Jefferson, are members of the national policy board of the American Freedom Coalition, a political organization with extensive ties to the Unification Church...

FINANCING REVOLUTION

Funding for the U.S. branch of the World Anti-Communist League has come from beer baron Joseph Coors and Texas oil billionaires Nelson Bunker Hunt and William Herbert Hunt. In 1966, H.L. Hunt was approached for funding Vatican anti-Communist operations in Latin America, a project in conjunction with the Unification Church which he discussed in a later interview:

"'I was approached by Paolo Cardinal Marella, who said he spoke for the Pope and asked if I would supply members of my [20,000 member] Youth Freedom Speakers' movement who spoke Spanish to be sent south [to Latin America] to engage in speechmaking and activities. I was told the Pope was thinking in terms of 11 million dollars a year support for the entire movement against communism in Spanish-speaking countries.' ........ The project was now centered in New York, at the Asian Speakers Bureau, with the Free Pacific Association, Inc., on Riverside Drive [another front for the Rev. Moon's Unification Church]." 37.

Funding for the Western Goals Foundation was provided by corporations and wealthy John Birch Society members, a primary benefactor being Nelson Bunker Hunt. Another major funder of Western Goals was industrialist, Roger Milliken, a member of JBS and of the Board of Directors of W.R. Grace Co. Deering-Milliken and Deering-Milliken Research Corporations also funded Western Goals. 38.

THE COUNCIL FOR NATIONAL POLICY

Nelson Bunker Hunt's membership in the John Birch Society is mentioned in
Ominous Politics
, with reference to the Texas billionaire's contribution to the Moral Majority: "Hunt, whose Birch Society background is documented by Conway and Siegelman in
Holy Terror
, also made a contribution of $1 million to the Moral Majority in 1981, according to Perry Dean Young." 39.

In the same year, William Herbert and Nelson Bunker Hunt provided the start-up money for the
Council for National Policy
, "a highly secretive coalition which represents the entire spectrum of New Right corporate executives, TV preachers and former high ranking government and military leaders. The Council for National Policy is considered the primary coordinating body--and funding conduit--for Christian Right projects." 40.

Nelson Bunker Hunt, who was president of the CNP in 1982-83, is among several of the John Birch Society / Western Goals Foundation principals and associates who also served on the newly-formed
CNP Board of Governors
:
  • Singlaub, Graham, and Jefferson are/were members of the board of governors of the Council for National Policy (CNP), a secretive policy-oriented umbrella organization for the rightwing in the United States. Other Western Goals members who are/were on the Council's board of governors include: Sherman Unkefer, Hans Sennholz, and Robert Stoddard. The group's financial backer Nelson Bunker Hunt is on CNP's board too, as was Larry McDonald. Oliver North has also been a member of the CNP since its inception. 41.

[Note:
Robert Stoddard
is listed in "The Belmont Brotherhood," as Chairman of the Board of the Worcester Telegram and Gazette, whose editors belong to the local Committee of the CFR.]

Howard Phillips of the USCWF [WACL] board is chairman of the Conservative Caucus and on the board/executive committee of the Council for National Policy. 42. <li>Major F. Andy Messing, Jr., USAR (Ret.), former chair of the Conservative Caucus, is on the USWCF board, on the board of the Council for National Policy and was the head of the National Defense Council Foundation. 43.

<li>J. Peter Grace (CFR) of W.R. Grace Co was on the [CNP] board of governors as of 1986.(7) 45. J. Peter Grace is chairman of W.R. Grace and Company which focuses its business activities in Latin America. He heads the U.S. chapter of the Knights of Malta, was a board member of Prodemca (Friends of the Democratic Center in Central America) and also a member of the CFR. 46. <li>William Simon (CFR) and Prescott Bush Jr. are also members of the Knights of Malta, and Simon was also on Prodemca's national council. Both Prodemca and the Knights of Malta were involved in efforts to support the contras and/or private sector opposition groups in Nicaragua. Simon, who was Treasury Secretary under Richard Nixon, was also the chairman of the Nicaraguan Freedom Fund (NFF), a fundraising organization set up in l985 by the Washington Times, a newspaper owned by the Unification Church...

[NOTE: Regarding his creation of the Washington Times, which received an award from the CNP in 1988, Rev. Sun Myung Moon stated in 1991: "No matter how proud Americans might be, making noise over all four corners of the world, that is bad. They will fall down... God has made it so that Americans have no choice but to bow down. A new America is about to take off, following Reverend Moon... From this time on, the next important point is the revival of the Christian church. Father [Moon] does not regard this as his own responsibility. This is America's responsibility. To support that Father created the Washington Times." 47.]

[William] Simon is or was connected with two other think tanks that were influential in policy formation in the early years of the Reagan administration, the Heritage Foundation and the American Enterprise Institute.(12,45) Simon is or was a member of the elitist rightwing policy formation group, the Council for National Policy. 48.

<li>Frank Shakespeare was U.S. Information Agency director and director of Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty.(13) During the Reagan administration he served as ambassador to Portugal from 1985 to 1987, and then as ambassador to the Vatican.(13); chairman, <a href="http://watch.pair.com/heritage.html">The Heritage Foundation; has served in executive positions in the communications industry for more than 30 years; former president, CBS Television Services. 49. <li>Dr. Edward Teller (CFR) was a Hungarian-born American physicist who became the architect of the hydrogen bomb. During World War II he was a member of the MANHATTAN PROJECT for the development of the atomic bomb. 50. Teller was a member of the Citizens Legal Defense Fund for the FBI, Ad Hoc, an advisor to the Western Goals Foundation, a member of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and member of the Board of Governors of the CNP. 51. Another major benefactor of the Council for National Policy is 33º Mason Richard DeVos, president of the Amway Corporation, which also funded the Aspen Global Change Institute. DeVos serves as a judge for the Templeton Prize for Progress in Religion, on the Board of Directors of (33º Mason) Robert Schuller Ministries, and as Trustee of (33º Mason) Gerald R. Ford Foundation. Richard DeVos is also a member of the Newcomen Society and the Round Table. 52.

Nelson Bunker Hunt (financier and executive officer of the Religious Roundtable, Campus Crusade and JBS, and main funder/second president of the CNP) and Jesse Helms (whose top political operative, Tom Ellis, was director of the racial eugenics Pioneer Fund and second CNP president) were members of a racial eugenics society -- the International Association for the Advancement of Eugenics and Ethnology.:

"[Lady Malcolm Douglas-Hamilton's] deceased husband, part of the British aristocracy, was the brother of the host of Rudolph Hess when, in 1940, Hess made his secret flight to England. Hess, a top aide to Hitler and Nazi Party official, sought to meet with the British aristocratic circles known as the Cliveden Set. Sympathetic to Hitler's war aims, the Cliveden Set tried to get England out of the war it had declared against Germany in September, 1939, after Germany invaded Poland. Hess was arrested and imprisoned. After Lord Malcolm Douglas came to the U.S., he established an American branch of a racial eugenics group headquartered in Scotland. The oil billionaire Hunt brothers and Senator Jesse Helms are members of this group. It was headed by Robert Gayre, who published the racialist Mankind Quarterly until Roger Pearson took it over in 1978." 53.

"For an overview on 'race and intelligence,' Murray and Herrnstein recommend two books by three Pioneer Fund recipients: Audrey Shuey, Frank C. J. McGurk, and R. Travis Osborne. McGurk is the main authority they cite to 'prove' that IQ tests are not racially biased. He was one of the 'scientific' mainstays of the segregationist movement in the southern US. In 1959 McGurk and Shuey became leading members of the International Association for the Advancement of Ethnology and Eugenics, first publisher of
. Other members included Senator Jesse Helms and the oil billionaire Hunt brothers." 5

Carroll Quigley's history of the Rhodes' Round Table, aka Cliveden Set (Cliveden being the home of Lord Astor), admitted to the society's appeasement policy dating back to the Treaty of Versailles:

Since 1920 it has been called by various names, depending on which phase of its activities was being examined. it has been called "The Times Crowd," "the Rhodes crowd," the "Chatham House crowd," the "All Soul's group," and the "Cliveden set... Those who are familiar with the activities of the 'Cliveden Set' in the 1930s have generally felt that the appeasement policy associated with that group was a manifestation of the period after 1934 only. This is quite mistaken. The Milner Group, which was the reality behind the phantom-like Cliveden Set, began their program of appeasement and revision of the [peace] settlement as early as 1919. 55.

The Belmont Brotherhood documents that the founding JBS National Council was entrenched in the Eastern Establishment it purported to despise. Nor is its progeny, the Council for National Policy, a conservative, anti-Communist organization, but rather a globalist organization, anti-American and unpatriotic in the extreme. Noting the curious crossover tendencies between right and left in the World Anti-Communist League, authors of Inside the League offer the following insightful analysis:

The first enemy for both political extremes is the center. Both ultra-leftists and ultra-rightists have the same primary objective: to polarize the country, to implement the breakdown of the governing system, and ultimately to create a situation of chaos where armed conflict will be between the right and the left, the center having been discredited by its failure to prevent it...

Little wonder that terrorist after terrorist, and terrorism expert after terrorism expert, have agreed that the purpose of both Red and Black terror is to destroy the open, democratic forms of liberal government, and to replace them with something elitist and totalitarian. Rightist terror seeks "the brutal intervention of repressive forces." Leftist terror seeks the same, believing that only complete repression will bring a self-satisfied, quiet bourgeoisie to a flash point, a revolutionary "critical mass."

If this is the objective of the World Anti-Communist League, then it goes a long way toward explaining the strange alliances it has formed. It is this very pursuit of international polarization and its ability to embrace openly leftist elements in an anti-communist cause that have led many to speculate about the League's true nature. Some have even suggested a secret sponsorship of the League by the Soviet Union or other communist governments, employing it as the ultimate
agent provocateur
.

The idea may not be as absurd as it first sounds. The open antipathy -- and, in some cases, hatred -- for the United States and Western democracy that can be found in the League are outlooks that could easily be manipulated by the Soviets, if they haven't already." 56.

We contend that Soviet communism was merely one phase of the global dialectic, fascism and communism being two expressions of the same conspiracy. Nicholas Murray Butler of the English-Speaking Union has informed us: "Communism is the tool by which Britain's international finance is knocking down national governments in the interest of world government, world police and world currency." 57. The true conspirators are identified in The New Unhappy Lords:

If the facts concerning the Royal Institute of International Affairs and the Council on Foreign Relations be accepted, it will be seen that the proper study of political mankind is the study of power elites, without which nothing that happens can be understood. These elites, preferring to work in private, are rarely found posed for photographers, and their influence upon events has therefore to be deduced from what is known of the agencies they employ. There are dozens of such agencies, and financial support received from one or other or all three big American foundations - Rockefeller, Carnegie and Ford - provides an infallible means of recognizing them. 58.

The real conspiracy is neither exclusively communist nor fascist, but elitist, inexorably moving society through progressive deconstruction and redefinition to a Third Way society, in which a partnership of government and business will subjugate and control an enslaved workforce to serve its own purposes. That the final world empire is a composite of these forms is a concept which finds basis in Bible prophecy, specifically the hybrid "beast" of Daniel 7:3-6 and Revelation 13:1,2:

And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a BEAST RISE UP OUT OF THE SEA, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And the beast which I saw was like unto a LEOPARD, and his feet were as the feet of a BEAR, and his mouth as the mouth of a LION: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat and great authority. Rev. 13:1,2

Students of Scripture will have discovered these identical beasts in Daniel 7:

And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse from one another. The first was like a LION, and had EAGLE'S wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made to stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it. And behold another beast, a second, like to a BEAR, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh. After this I beheld, and lo another, like a LEOPARD, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it... Dan. 7:3-6

Daniel 7:17 disqualifies the interpretation that these beasts symbolize the existing Babylonian and future Medo-Persian, Greek and Roman empires described in Daniel chapter 2. These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall ariseout of the earth. Dan. 7:17

Since the beasts of Daniel 7 necessarily refer to four future (from Daniel's perspective) world empires, a plausible interpretation has been proposed with reference to the present century. Nazi Germany was known for its Panzer (Panther or Leopard) divisions in World War II, and the symbol of Communist Russia is the Bear which has "devoured much flesh." The Royal Arms of England displays the Rampant Lion, "made to stand upon the feet as a man" and the Unicorn, symbolizing the union of England and Scotland respectively. This is also the symbol of the British-Israel Movement. The Eagle whose wings were plucked in Daniel 7:4 is an obvious reference to the United States, which government from its inception was the vehicle through which the English Freemasons planned to establish the new world order.

The Masonic axiom "Ordo ab Chao" (order out of chaos) will find a measure of fulfillment in Daniel 7:7: After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth; it devoured and break in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it; and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.

THE CHRISTIAN RESPONSE

A.K. Chesterton said in Candour, "At times Capitalism and Communism would appear to be in conflict, but this writer is confident that their interests are in common and will eventually merge for one-world control. That policy outlined previously in Woodrow Wilson's Point Six has never been dropped...

"Capitalism and Communism, in terms of power, are merely their twin mechanisms to destroy the sovereignty of Christian nations. They will merge them into the projected super-state, where their financial power will exercise full sway and masterdom through that monopoly of atomic energy which is being sought with such feverish and fiendish persistence. They are selling us into slavery and using our material resources for their own nefarious world-wide purposes. To say that in exposing their plans for world domination we are playing the Kremlin's game is to act as an unconscious agent of Christendom's betrayal."

Using religion to control the masses is an essential fact of World Revolution, the dynamics of which are the subject of The Union Jack. Although the author's interpretation of Bible prophecy is misguided, the sociological concepts articulated provide insight that is desperately needed if Christians would escape the dialectical trap that has been laid for them. No quarter may be given to the shock troops of agents provocateur that have been unleashed upon the Church, wearing the dual masks of patriotism and Christianity, and whose assignment is to incite Christians against their own government:

Though their facts in most cases may be 100 per cent true, their method of USE produces an effect contrary to that supposed by the user, and his constant harangues on "what's wrong in Washington" builds a revolutionary state of mind in the American people and creates false antagonisms and loss of confidence, the effect of which will destroy the American government instead of restoring constitutional guarantees. So the patriots gain respect for their vast knowledge of facts while they use them to mold "American opinion" against America. This is British Israel at work, and it multiplies its strength by turning Americans against America by turning the truth into a lie, and at the same time reserves to itself respectability under the cloak of Christian terminology and the American Flag. It conceals itself within the very thing that it seeks to destroy...

The effect of the activities of these Christian fronts is to create counteraction against the United States government, which in turn builds the revolution to a point where the people themselves overthrow their own government, thinking all the time that they are patriots. The purpose of the right wing as used by British Israel is to create and encourage a revolutionary state of mind and then the people will bring down their own government. The anti-Communist movement as it exists in the United States is peculiarly anti-American; while parading with the American Flag it is developing a pseudo nationalism to wreck the American government, just as Hitler did in Germany. Of course the claim of these people is that they want to get back to constitutional government and most of them sincerely want to, but they do not realize that the EFFECT of their actions is to destroy that which they believe they save. If they could understand the esoteric (hidden) purpose of their organizations, they would not be so anxious to be led to the slaughter. They should realize that as revolution increases constitutional government decreases. Government by crisis is a dictatorship...

Conspiracy always has a DUAL nature. It has the right wing and the left wing. It has the peace groups and the war groups. It has the religious and the atheist. It has the white race and the black race. It has those in power and those out, it has those at the top and those at the bottom...

Those in power such as in America today inaugurate socialistic programs and protect the street rioters thus creating the revolution from the top. Then the right wing dutifully calls it Communism and proceeds to heat up the sham. The dilemma is that the real issue and the real power is never revealed and this is the dilemma that puts those at the top and those on the bottom on the same side -- the wrong side of constitutional government. The effect of this fictitious confrontation is confusion and deception which is fuel for the revolutionary fire, and the result of it is the destruction of constitutional government and not the preservation of it. A bewildered people is the desire of world revolution and constructive criticism of government can come only when the people know fact from fantasy. British Israel is a cancer which controls the mind through confusion. With control of the mind the control of the body is automatic. If one has a basis for truth which is the true gospel and God's redemptive purpose, then he can see that there is a clear pattern to be seen through British Anglo Israel confusion which can be recognized through their consistent goal which is world government, under whatever name. Their strength is in twisting truth into a lie... The thing that makes spiritual bondage complete is that the people don't know it, and if they don't know it they will not resist it, but will embrace it.

The purpose of posting this series of exposes on the Christian Right is to provide information upon which basis Christians may examine the roots of this movement and to reevaluate the leaders, religious and otherwise. Those who function as facilitators of the dialectical process, who create unrest and distrust of government, are in direct violation of Scripture:

Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the power that be are ordained of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. Romans 13:1,2

May we instead turn to Scripture for our admonishment and examples, recalling that Jesus' apostles led no political movement, much less an insurrection against the Powers That Be, as is the custom of self-appointed leaders of the so-called Christian Right. Future reports on the Council for National Policy will demonstrate that its members are mere creatures of the Eastern Establishment, who derive their principles from the devilish wisdom of Freemasonry rather than pure and peaceable wisdom of God's Word. In striking contrast to their inflammatory rhetoric were the apostle Peter's instructions to the persecuted New Testament churches -- words that were penned under the reign of terror of the infamous Emperor Nero:

Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man, for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king as supreme; or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well. For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men: As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as servants of God. Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king. I Pet. 2:13-17

THE JOHN BIRCH SOCIETY

By Barbara Aho

With the onset of the McCarthy era 50 years ago, any perceived threat to U.S. sovereignty from the British Round Table and its American branch shifted to an obsession with the Soviet Union. Roy Cohn, who was legal counsel to Sen. Joseph McCarthy during the anti-Communist Senate investigations of the 1950s, would later become a member of the John Birch Society and a principle figure in the JBS intelligence gathering operation, the Western Goals Foundation...

Steve, thanks for posting this article by Barbara Aho. Her close linkage of Senator Joseph McCarthy and his famous McCarthyism with the John Birch Society is an important political linkage, even in the early 21st century era of the Tea Parties.

In this regard we should remember another important lawyer of Senator Joseph McCarthy in the early 1950's, namely, Robert Morris, who would become an important lawyer for ex-General Edwin Walker in the early 1960's. Robert Morris, we know, was the man who handed Larrie Schmidt the reins of the YAF (Young Americans for Freedom) in early 1963 (pending closure of a few deliverables).

Robert Morris remained close to ex-General Edwin Walker through 1965, until the Supreme Court threw out his case against the Associated Press for "libel" since actually the AP told the truth about Walker. Robert Morris also intervened on behalf of Loran Hall and Gerry Patrick Hemming in the summer of 1963.

"...With Marxism as a shibboleth, they are rapidly accomplishing a world-wide subjugation of the 'peasantry'. This has earned for wily John D. Jr. a reputation for 'liberalism'. It is more appropriately called "Rockefellerism". (Emanuel Josephson, Rockefeller "Internationalist" - The Man Who Misrules the World, NY: Chedney Press, 1952, p. 37.)...

I find this quote particularly interesting, Steven, because when Lee Harvey Oswald appeared on TV in New Orleans, he arrogantly smirked as he called Marxism and Communism "a red herring."

That is, for Oswald, Marxism and Communism were only "front groups" for more powerful political players. This, furthermore, was and remains precisely the position of the John Birch Society. It is the richest and most powerful Americans, claimed Robert Welch and his JBS minions, who are the real Communists.

(Obviously, this was only the Southern accusation that Yankees were actually the real Communists, as a justification for their long-held position that the South need never -- and should never -- cooperate with Yankees.)

My point is that we find Oswald -- even while pretending to be an officer of the FPCC (a truly Communist front) was preaching over the TV airwaves that Communism is really a "red-herring" -- Oswald was repeating the standard John Birch Society propaganda line. Thus, despite himself, Oswald could not conceal his actual extreme rightist politics.

(I say Lee Harvey Oswald was guilty of the JFK assassination -- the only disagreement I have with the Warren Commission is that I add that Oswald had plenty of accomplices, whom the Warren Commission and the FBI worked so hard to protect.)

I will add that this extreme rightist position (that Communism is Capitalist plot) has been taken up by many extreme leftists in the 21st century -- leftists who no longer have any original ideas of their own. At the same time it has enjoyed a resurgence among extreme rightists in support of Mitt Romney this year.

Best regards,

Roy Cohn, who was legal counsel to Sen. Joseph McCarthy during the anti-Communist Senate investigations of the 1950s, would later become a member of the John Birch Society and a principle figure in the JBS intelligence gathering operation, the Western Goals Foundation...

Steve, thanks for posting this article by Barbara Aho. Her close linkage of Senator Joseph McCarthy and his famous McCarthyism with the John Birch Society is an important political linkage, even in the early 21st century era of the Tea Parties.

In this regard we should remember another important lawyer of Senator Joseph McCarthy in the early 1950's, namely, Robert Morris, who would become an important lawyer for ex-General Edwin Walker in the early 1960's. Robert Morris, we know, was the man who handed Larrie Schmidt the reins of the YAF (Young Americans for Freedom) in early 1963 (pending closure of a few deliverables).

Robert Morris remained close to ex-General Edwin Walker through 1965, until the Supreme Court threw out his case against the Associated Press for "libel" since actually the AP told the truth about Walker. Robert Morris also intervened on behalf of Loran Hall and Gerry Patrick Hemming in the summer of 1963.

"...With Marxism as a shibboleth, they are rapidly accomplishing a world-wide subjugation of the 'peasantry'. This has earned for wily John D. Jr. a reputation for 'liberalism'. It is more appropriately called "Rockefellerism". (Emanuel Josephson, Rockefeller "Internationalist" - The Man Who Misrules the World, NY: Chedney Press, 1952, p. 37.)...

I find this quote particularly interesting, Steven, because when Lee Harvey Oswald appeared on TV in New Orleans, he arrogantly smirked as he called Marxism and Communism "a red herring."

That is, for Oswald, Marxism and Communism were only "front groups" for more powerful political players. This, furthermore, was and remains precisely the position of the John Birch Society. It is the richest and most powerful Americans, claimed Robert Welch and his JBS minions, who are the real Communists.

(Obviously, this was only the Southern accusation that Yankees were actually the real Communists, as a justification for their long-held position that the South need never -- and should never -- cooperate with Yankees.)

My point is that we find Oswald -- even while pretending to be an officer of the FPCC (a truly Communist front) was preaching over the TV airwaves that Communism is really a "red-herring" -- Oswald was repeating the standard John Birch Society propaganda line. Thus, despite himself, Oswald could not conceal his actual extreme rightist politics.

(I say Lee Harvey Oswald was guilty of the JFK assassination -- the only disagreement I have with the Warren Commission is that I add that Oswald had plenty of accomplices, whom the Warren Commission and the FBI worked so hard to protect.)

I will add that this extreme rightist position (that Communism is Capitalist plot) has been taken up by many extreme leftists in the 21st century -- leftists who no longer have any original ideas of their own. At the same time it has enjoyed a resurgence among extreme rightists in support of Mitt Romney this year.

Best regards,

"People think of us (The John Birch Society) as wholly or primarily as an anti-communist organization.

This causes many misunderstandings, The truth is that our fight with the communists is purely

incidental to our long-ranged objectives"

One of the not so commonly known persons of the LDS in Dallas on 11/22/63 was given attention by Richard Trask in his book Pictures of The Pain, in the segment entitled The Missionary, page 222; who would be Robert Earl Croft, while there is nothing particularly sinister about a Mormon Missionary deciding to come to take photos of the crime scene of the Presidential Assassination, by some set of circumstances Robert Croft, didn't make it into the litany of all the other first day interviews by the FBI, but was interviewed on November 23, 1963 at the Western States Mission Home on Clarkson St. in Denver. Croft told the two FBI agents "Concerning the weekend events I have almost no recollection of the details."

His timeline started out on a LDS missionary trip to Little Rock, Arkansas then to Dealey Plaza, shooting one photo almost simultaneously with Altgens.......using a old Argus C-3 35 MM camera using a roll of 36 exposure Kodachrome-X daylight color slide film.

Others who are familiar with some work I did regarding the high quality Kodachrome images taken in front of the Texas Theater, may understand why I am so skeptical that Croft was some sort of benign figure....

Below is a document dated 12/3/63 regarding the FBI's reference to Croft's photos.

By the late 1980’s Croft was said to have been living in the Western United States
