He was a missionary in china, I believe.

I think maybe the society was named for him after he got killed.

He was an OSS agent in China during WW2, and was killed by Maoist communists. The John Birch society is an anti-communist organization, and considers John Birch the first casualty in the Cold War.

He isn't. The John Birch Society is. Below from wiki is why.

"The John Birch Society supports limited government and opposes wealth redistribution and economic interventionism. It opposes collectivism, totalitarianism, anarchism and communism. It opposes socialism as well, which it asserts is infiltrating U.S."

Sounds like the antithesis of
The current regime.
Moreover, if someone were to oppose the JBS, they would be in support of anti American values.
Furthermore, it could be presumed that such a person had bee brainwashed or condoned by propaganda.

He was a missionary in China, who eventually worked as an interpreter and intelligence officer with Chennault. Became an OSS officer, and has already been stated, was killed by Communist Chinese.

Yep. Same old story. Establishment republicans fight and oppose NO ONE as much as they do conservatives. People like Buckley came out against them because they just weren't condescending and elitist enough for him. The JBS was right then, just like Trump has been right. Look how the republican establishment treats them.

They are still active though mostly are a bunch of hayseed backwards morons. They seek to interfere with their interpretations of what constitutes infringement of public policy. They seek to kill 250 of the last 10 actual freedom infringements...
