Blazing the Trail to Get US Out!
The current wave of anti-UN sentiment in America is not just a result of the world body’s recent actions, such as its complicity in anti-Jewish terrorism. For generations, concerned Americans who believe in a free and independent United States of America have warned that the United Nations is a dangerous, sovereignty-destroying, world-government trap, and that the United States needs to exit this trap before it becomes hopelessly ensnared.
Early efforts to get the United States out of the UN were launched by The John Birch Society not long after its 1958 founding under the rallying cry “Get US Out!” At the time, the UN was still almost universally regarded as mankind’s last, best hope for peace. But that has long ceased to be the case, thanks largely to JBS efforts.
A Look Back
At the founding meeting of the JBS in December 1958, founder Robert Welch warned that part of the subversive plan to bring about communist tyranny was “to induce the gradual surrender of American sovereignty, piece by piece and step by step, to various international organizations — of which the United Nations is the outstanding but far from the only example.” A little more than three years later, in the January 1962 JBS Bulletin, Welch formally announced the Society’s “long-range project” to get the United States out of the UN. At the time he noted that the UN “should not be reformed, but abolished.” He added, “You don’t reform the rats and fleas that spread the bubonic plague, you wipe ’em out.”
