Comments for New York Times Deigns to Notice JBS at http://www.jbs.org , comment 1 to 8 out of 8 comments http://www.jbs.org Sat, 21 Nov 2009 14:56:20 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.3 http://www.jbs.org/jbs-news-feed/5047#comment-1481 While insider politics might be of interest, this would be a distraction from the much-needed continuing push to educate and spearhead effective grassroots action. I joined the JBS because of the fact that after praying and studying myself (having been thrust into law and politics by the pro-life movement), the things I uncovered were the same things I discovered The New American understood and the JBS had been proclaiming since before I was born. As a result, I joined the JBS, despite whatever personal views the leadership and membership might hold. What is important to me is that they continue to provide materials and facilitate effectual action to forestall the plans of the powerful folks who want to merge us into a world government. In regard to 'the conspiracy view' - JBS is promoting many fine works detailing the facts already: see ShopJBS.com, other pages on this website, Birchtube, etc. - Pat Henry Tue, 30 Jun 2009 16:27:02 +0100 http://www.jbs.org/jbs-news-feed/5047#comment-1480 http://www.hidesertstar.com/articles/2009/01/09/editorial/doc4967e86d8fed6742060533.txt The link above is from the Hi Desert Star that was posted on our old website. These were news stories (positive or negative) on the JBS. The comments section is especially interesting. - Lee Gonzales Tue, 30 Jun 2009 15:49:16 +0100 http://www.jbs.org/jbs-news-feed/5047#comment-1469 ... and not from an adversarial perspective, which has certainly already been written, including by some former members of the Society such Revilo P. Oliver. However, I too would like to see a comprehensive set of historical treatises on the JBS written by competent members of the JBS. This is a project, but one the Society should definately undertake, particularly as many of the "senior" members of the organization are beginning to leave us or are already well into their older years and their memories fading. As an aside, it was good to see the Society preempt the NYT's potential hit piece by republishing the "behind the Big News" clips on Walter Duranty and Herbert Matthews, two men whose connections to the Times' love of Communist collectivism should be more broadly known. - Lal Wynstrom Mon, 29 Jun 2009 10:28:51 +0100 http://www.jbs.org/jbs-news-feed/5047#comment-1466 JBS is carefully helping society. They were much more front page news. Look at history of Larry McDonald. Congressman and President of JBS. He started a congressional investigation into the CFR. Look what happened to him. We must all work as a mass public to stop the Big Brother Takeover. Remember Wizard of Oz, Kill the Witch and her soldiers will thank you. - Thomas Paine Sat, 27 Jun 2009 04:09:50 +0100 http://www.jbs.org/jbs-news-feed/5047#comment-1465 For example: why hasn't a JBS member or sympathizer written a master's thesis or doctoral dissertation on any of the following subjects (just a representative sample)? * a history of the JBS * a history of the JBS National Council * a history of conservative organizations which embraced a conspiratorial interpretation of postwar U.S. history * an analysis of the impact of CFR on American foreign policy * a history of the American Opinion Speakers Bureau * an analysis of why major personalities (such as Phyllis Schlafly) joined and/or left the Society * a history of our civil rights movement from the JBS perspective * a history of prominent African Americans who were speakers for the JBS (such as Lola Belle Holmes, Julia Brown, George Schuyler) * an analysis of attacks on the JBS that were made by former JBS members * a history by a relative of a famous Bircher regarding why their relative joined the JBS * a presentation of Robert Welch's views about prominent JBS critics based upon his correspondence or private papers * a demographic profile of JBS membership * a history of internal disputes within the JBS - ernie Sat, 27 Jun 2009 03:00:11 +0100 http://www.jbs.org/jbs-news-feed/5047#comment-1464 If the JBS (which is self-described as an "educational organization") would allow outside researchers to have access to its archives -- then perhaps a more accurate understanding about the Society and its members would be possible. Yes, there has been much unfair criticism of the JBS since its inception -- but, frankly, the JBS itself must bear a great deal of responsibility for that. I suspect that a very large percentage of JBS members and sympathizers are college-educated and it seems likely that thousands of those individuals have earned degrees in history, political science, sociology, journalism, or related subjects. However, master's theses and doctoral dissertations on topics written from a JBS-friendly perspective seem to be totally absent. The list of possible topics is endless and if JBS members used unique and previously unknown data because of their first-time access to JBS archives plus interviews with major figures within JBS circles -- they could make a MAJOR contribution to FACTUAL knowledge about the JBS and its membership. So WHY have Birchers never been interested in correcting the historical record by writing such theses and dissertations for their postgraduate degrees --- or even for publication by book and magazine publishers? The JBS may be the only organization that has not generated such research and writings from within itself--which certainly seems odd since it was created as an educational organization. - ernie Sat, 27 Jun 2009 02:56:54 +0100 http://www.jbs.org/jbs-news-feed/5047#comment-1459 Maybe these insiders that have put their entire incomes into the hands of the political spending machines are starting to realize that we may be going over the edge of the freedom cliff into total Tyrany. Maybe it is a little confession (Weak at that), by a writer of the elite "Big Brother" establishment as he sees that he has contibuted to our slide into Fascism. He probably realizes that time is running out on any chance of Free Speach as the silent government hit men gain power to a point of no return. Remember Wizard of Ozz. To all those insiders looking for freedom, just remember if you kill the witch, the soldiers will thank you. God bless JBS - Thomas Paine Fri, 26 Jun 2009 10:36:37 +0100 http://www.jbs.org/jbs-news-feed/5047#comment-1456 As Scatman Gruthers said when he and his compadres arrived safely in Chicago on what was left of the Silver Streak :"Gotta' drink to that." - Lee Gonzales Fri, 26 Jun 2009 09:14:44 +0100
