The John Birch Society’s Campaign

During the Vietnam War, The John Birch Society played a significant yet largely unrecognized role in informing public opinion. Unfortunately, the Society’s efforts at the time were insufficient to overcome the massive deceptions practiced against the American people. These deceptions were not limited to pro-Communist influences within our media with regard to the war. Perhaps the biggest deception of all was the phony opposition to Communism practiced at the highest levels of our own government. A generation of young men paid the price — over 50,000 Americans paid the ultimate price and many more were seriously wounded.

The same globalist agendas which gave us the Vietnam War continue to this day. Unless these agendas are understood and the corrupt influences over our government exposed and routed, future generations will be sacrificed in more no-win wars or worse yet as enforcers for a new world order rather than defenders of our nation.

Although the Society loudly questioned why our government was conducting a no-win war against the Communists in Vietnam while helping them everywhere else, even helping to establish a Communist enclave 90 miles off our Florida shores, the Society’s support for our men fighting in Vietnam was total. As the war progressed, those asked to fight felt betrayed by the distortions of their sacrifices which appeared in the American media and by the anti-war movement at home. They also felt the solid folks back home just didn’t care or couldn’t understand. Their morale would have improved greatly had they been aware of what The John Birch Society was doing on their behalf.

Starting in 1964, the members of The John Birch Society received regular updates and action requests on the Vietnam War. The following are a sample showing some of the information given and the suggested action to help our men in Vietnam.
