Recruiting
by James F. Fitzgerald, National Director of Field Activities

Speaking before his colleagues in Congress on February 23, 1954, Indiana Senator William Jenner told the story of a young married man working in a baby carriage factory in Germany during the early days of the Nazi regime. Since his wife was soon expecting their first child, the young man began to save his money to purchase one of the baby carriages he was working to build. But the Nazi government refused to let anyone buy one. So he decided to collect the parts secretly, one from each department, and then assemble the parts at home. Finally, when he had gathered each of the parts and the task was completed, he and his wife wound up, not with a baby carriage, but with a machine gun! And, as Senator Jenner observed:

The pattern … was divided into separate parts, each of them as innocent, safe and familiar looking as possible.  The leaders did not intend to assemble the parts until they needed machine guns.  But let’s keep in mind that when the parts of a design are carefully cut to exact size to fit other parts with a perfect fit in the final assembly, the parts must be made according to a blueprint drawn up in exact detail.  This does not happen by chance.

The point Senator Jenner then made was that the individuals who created the United Nations had a blueprint of their own. When all of the component parts of the UN are assembled, the world will be totally in its grasp. And that goal was surely planned from the outset. Much of what is now being created in Washington, while seemingly separate and unrelated, is part of an overall plan to change the political and economic systems of our nation and subordinate its sovereignty to a world government under control of the United Nations.

Whether it’s cap & trade, healthcare, Security and Prosperity Partnership, NAFTA superhighway, or a new international currency, all of these roads, like the parts of the machine gun, lead to the United Nations. The culprits in this scheme of destruction are the radicals who have been in control of the United States government for over five decades. Much of the direction they follow arises from the Council on Foreign Relations.

It certainly appears that numerous recent events indicate an awakening on the part of many Americans. Members of The John Birch Society have played a major role in sounding an alarm and ending our fellow citizens’ widespread lethargy. We must continue to inspire fellow Americans to become better informed and then to engage in a program of action that will bring about a return to constitutional government.
