Arthur R. Thompson was born in Seattle, Washington, in 1938. He attended the University of Washington, the Washington Military Academy, and other business-related institutions before going into business for himself.

Art joined The John Birch Society in May 1964 and rose through “the ranks,” becoming a successful Area Coordinator for the Society in the 1970s. He left the staff to go back into business in 1981 and returned in the 1990s.

In the 1980s and early 1990s, his business took him all over the United States. A frequent visitor to Western Europe on business, as a tourist, and once on a political fact-finding tour for the JBS, Art was at the Berlin Wall as it was coming down. During this tour, he became acquainted with many businessmen, academics, members of the German Cabinet, and European Union officials.

Art has also served on his small-town city council, as the chairman of his local chamber of commerce, as an official and elector for the Republican Party, and as a local leader in the state of Washington for the Christian Coalition. He also served as an officer in the Select Reserve Force of the Army and National Guard.

Art has held nearly every volunteer and staff position in the Society, including National Director of Development and Communications and National Director of Field Activities. For several years, he represented the Society in a variety of media events, including appearing on 60 Minutes. He served as CEO of The John Birch Society from October 2005 to July 2020.

A prolific writer, Art is the author of multiple books, including To the Victor Go the Myths and Monuments, International Merger by Foreign Entanglements, In the Shadow of the Deep State, China: The Deep State’s Trojan Horse in America, and Benedict Biden: Water Carrier for the New World Order. He continues to regularly contribute to JBS through his writing, video appearances, fundraising efforts, and advice to staff. He resides in Appleton, Wisconsin, with his wife Joanne.
