    Debunked, I do not honestly see how one can view the conspiracy theory at the foundation of the John Birch Society, its establishing of the Western Goals Foundation, and its gathering and dissemination of intelligence on those it deemed "subversive" - as anything other than what I said it was, the antithesis of belief in the Freedom of Association, Thought and Privacy. If you have something I haven't read, or experienced myself (as a kid, 1960's suburban Southern California), I am quite open to learning something new.

    I have posted the links, the information below, but one. I'm not sure if you've read any of them. How do you feel about the following, in the context of the right to privacy?

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Goals_Foundation

    How about Dwight D. Eisenhower, SHAAF Commander in Chief, and United States President, as Communist Traitor? That also "standing for personal liberties?" This is from the JBS Website. As are many of the materials I have posted. These are not some "sixth degree of separation" quote, but JBS itself:

    -On and on, and more palaver, across the board. Garbage. If people want to believe this organization is the beacon of light, of Liberty, all the more power to you.

    Darn commies indeed.

    A guy named Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn can tell you all about them. He appears to be persona non grata in the US these days. I wonder why.
