The John Birch Society Is Still Winning Big | Beyond the Cover

Gary Benoit, Paul Dragu

The John Birch Society, for decades largely ignored by the major media, has been garnering more publicity lately about how the seeds it has planted over many years in the minds and hearts of the American people are still winning victories today. The media, for example, has credited the JBS for MAGA. However, for the most part the same media reports fail to credit the JBS as being a vibrant, viable, force on the American political landscape today, preferring instead to say that it is JBS ideas that are still winning, while imagining that the organization itself is a past phenomenon. In truth, even though the media does not want to acknowledge it, the JBS is alive and well — and growing. In this Beyond the Cover Interview, JBS Communications Director Paul Dragu discusses both the media characterizations and the organization itself, including what JBS members are doing all across the country.

Paul Dragu is the author of “The John Birch Society Is Still Winning Big” in the May 29, 2023 issue of The New American. To read the article, visit: https://thenewamerican.com/print/the-john-birch-society-is-still-winning-big/

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.
