Wright Recently some information has been passed along to this writer that seems to indicate that major changes are taking place within the John Birch Society. These are changes, I might add, that appear to be setting in motion the ultimate destruction of the Society as it has been known for many years. Founded in 1958 by Robert Welch (1899-1985) the John Birch Society was named for John Morrison Birch, a Christian missionary who was murdered by the Chinese Communists just after the end of World War II. Birch was an early casualty in the struggle between freedom and world government.While near the border of Japanese-occupied territory on the evening of April 19, 1942, Birch came upon Colonel James Doolittle and members of the raiding party that had just completed a dramatic bombing raid on Tokyo. With his encyclopedic knowledge of the language, customs, and geography of China, Birch was able to convey Doolittle and the crews of 12 American bombers to safety in free China. Robert Welch led the John Birch Society for more than 25 years in his crusade against communism. G. Vance Smith, a committed Mormon, now leads the Society. From what my sources are telling me, Vance Smith is systematically removing people from leadership positions within the John Birch Society and replacing them with Mormons. One gathers that Smith does not feel that he is accountable to the membership concerning his reasons for the replacement of longtime leadership. There seems to be no accountability factor. Longtime Birchers are leaving the Society en masse. There seems to be a major concern that the Society is fast becoming a puppet for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. One document that I received suggests that Smith's course of action is tied in with his Mormon belief that, "The time will come when the destiny of the nation will hang upon a single thread." Note the words of Mormon Prophet Brigham Young: "Will the Constitution be destroyed? No; it will be held inviolate by this people; and, as Joseph Smith said, 'The time will come when the destiny of the nation will hang upon a single thread. At that critical juncture, this people will step forth and save it from threatened destruction.' It will be so." (Journal of Discourses,7:15.) Young also made another "prophecy" about the same circumstances: "Brethren and sisters, our friends wish to know our feelings towards the Government. I answer, they are first rate, and we will prove it too, as you will see if you only live long enough, for that we shall live to prove it is certain, and when the Constitution of the United States hangs, as it were, upon a single thread, they will have to call for the "Mormon" Elders to save it from utter destruction; and they will step forward and do it." (Journal of Discourses, 2:182.) There is yet a third voice explaining this" prophecy," and that is the voice of Orson Hyde, a contemporary of Joseph Smiths because he was one of his Twelve Apostles, who wrote this, also quoted in Journal of Discourses: "It is said that brother Joseph in his lifetime declared that the Elders of this Church should step forth at a particular time when the Constitution should be in danger, and rescue it, and save it. I believe he said something like this - that the time would come when the country would be in danger of an overthrow; and said he, If the Constitution be saved at all, it will be by the Elders of this Church. I believe this is about the language, as nearly as I can recollect it." (Journal of Discourses, 6:152) Does Vance Smith believe that this is a prophecy made by his Prophet that has yet to be fulfilled, and does he see the Birch Society in all of its endeavors striving to be the group to "step forward and do it" to save the Constitution in junction with the LDS Church? Is this why he is systematically removing longtime Birchers from leadership positions and replacing them with Mormons? Time will tell.

[FriendsOfLiberty Note: The John Birch Society still produces some invaluable research material concerning the Council on Foreign Relations and Trilateral Commission infiltration into the U.S. government, and the move toward a One World Government. At the organizational level, however, the JBS is foundering, and is dwindling as a factor in the grassroots Constitutionalist arena.
