FBI Evaluation of Birch Society Arguments

Submitted by ernie (United States), Nov 9, 2006 at 16:59

For a potent rebuttal to Frank and others who have posted messages here, I suggest a review of the following 65-page report on the JBS which is based, primarily, upon first-time released FBI files and documents.

JOHN BIRCH SOCIETY REPORT:

65-page Report consisting of 7 Chapters as follows:

JBS Report Chapters 1 thru 4: http://ernie1241.googlepages.com/jbs-1

(1) FBI Evaluations of Robert Welch and the John Birch Society

(2) FBI vs JBS on Internal Security Status of the U.S.

(3) FBI vs JBS on Communist Infiltration of Clergy and Religious Institutions

(4) FBI vs JBS on Communists in the Department of Health, Education, Welfare

JBS Report, Chapter 5: http://ernie1241.googlepages.com/jbs-2

(5) FBI vs JBS on Dr. Harry A. Overstreet as a Communist Sympathizer or Dupe

JBS Report, Chapters 6-7: http://ernie1241.googlepages.com/jbs-3

(6) FBI vs. JBS on Civil Rights Movement -- including Alan Stang's 1965 book, It's Very Simple, and, Highlander Folk School as a "Communist Training School"

(7) FBI vs JBS on Persons JBS Claims To Be "Experts" on Communism

(includes discussion of Dan Smoot, W. Cleon Skousen, David Gumaer, Julia Brown, Lola Belle Holmes, among others)

BACKGROUND INFORMATION ABOUT MY RESEARCH:

DAN SMOOT REPORT:

http://ernie1241.googlepages.com/dansmoot:casestudyofaconspiracyexpert

Detailed 21-page report on former FBI Special Agent Dan Smoot. Smoot endorsed the JBS and wrote for its publications. A major portion of my Smoot report is devoted to discussing Smoot's assertions regarding the civil rights movement and, in particular, his accusations against the NAACP and its leaders such as Walter White and Roy Wilkins. Smoot's accusations are identical to those circulated by the Birch Society. Significantly, two FBI informants who subsequently became paid speakers for the Birch Society (Lola Belle Holmes and Julia Brown) explicitly contradicted JBS/Smoot accusations--but the JBS suppresses that inconvenient data!
