Hunter’s Plea Deal: Keeping Bigger Crimes Hidden

June 22, 2023 • Gary Benoit, Steve Bonta

Hunter Biden’s deal to plead guilty to tax and gun violations deflects public attention from far more serious transgressions. Those transgressions include pay-for-play dealings with foreign entities. And the players include not only Hunter but other members of the Biden crime family including the “big guy” — President Joe Biden. In this episode of Beyond the Cover, host Gary Benoit interviews executive senior editor Steve Bonta, who discusses these dealings and more — including the fact that corrupt politicians have employed this strategy in the past to keep their biggest crimes mostly hidden from public view. Eerily similar to what is happening today, Steve obverses, is how the impeachment of President Bill Clinton in the 1990s for lying about sex was used to deflect attention from the far more serious crime of Chinagate, which entailed the compromise of U.S. security in exchange for Chinese cash. Of course, the Bidens’ own influence peddling could also entail the compromise of U.S. security.

Larry McDonald’s Legacy

August 24, 2023 • Gary Benoit, Christian Gomez

Larry McDonald was the best Congressman in the United States during his tenure in Congress during the 1970s and 80s, according to the “Conservative Index,” the precursor to The New American’s Freedom Index, our congressional scorecard based on the U.S. Constitution. He was also chairman of The John Birch Society, when the passenger airliner he was on was downed by at least one Soviet missile on September 1, 1983. In this episode of Beyond the Cover, host Gary Benoit interviews John Birch Society project manager Christian Gomez, who wrote an article commemorating Larry McDonald entitled “Larry’s Legacy,” and who has great admiration for him.

The Second Amendment at Work

August 17, 2023 • Gary Benoit

Most mass shootings in the United States take place in the workplace. But what makes the workplace a target of choice for would-be killers? And what can be done to make the workplace safer? In this episode of Beyond the Cover, host Gary Benoit interviews Drew Dorans about this question. Drew is the HR Director for both The John Birch Society and its affiliate The New American at our headquarters in Appleton, Wisconsin. The HQ buildings have small signs on the doors saying, “Criminals beware! Concealed carry permit holders welcome here.” So you know where we stand. And of course, we firmly believe that our pro-Second Amendment stance makes our workplace far safer than those who foolishly declare that their businesses are “gun-free zones.” Drew wrote the article “The Second Amendment at Work” in the August 28 issue of The New American.

Is It Too Late for America?

August 10, 2023 • Gary Benoit, Steve Bonta

Social unrest, government corruption, economic and financial instability, nuclear weapons, moral depravity — is it too late to save America from destruction? Many Americans, including newly many awakened Americans, undoubtedly think that it is. But The New American and its parent organization The John Birch Society strongly disagree. In fact, we are very hopeful for the future — though admittedly saving America from falling into the abyss of despotism will require not only the great awakening but also the active participation of the awakened in the freedom movement. In this episode of Beyond the Cover, host Gary Benoit interviews executive senior editor Steve Bonta about why we are so hopeful for the future. Steve is the author of the cover story “Is It Too Late for America?” in the August 28 print edition of The New American magazine.
