Defending Americanism
Vanguard of the Americanist Cause: A Close Look at The John Birch Society, by Gary Benoit, Appleton, Wisconsin: Western Islands, 2025, 131 pages, paperback. (To order, see inside back cover.)
“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge” (Hosea 4:6). This verse in the Bible evokes eerie parallels to present-day America. Many Americans today lack knowledge of our nation’s founding principles — that rights come from God; that America is a republic, not a democracy; that the U.S. Constitution strictly limits the federal government’s powers; etc. — and of the conspiracy to destroy our Republic and impose a one-world, collectivist government. Our nation is suffering as a result: The size and scope of government continue to increase, along with spending and our national debt; our nation is mired in international entanglements and foreign conflicts; and our nation’s Christian-style roots are giving way to woke, secular humanism.
Is it possible to stop and reverse this downward spiral? Yes, it is! But to succeed, enough Americans must take effective, organized action. In his new book Vanguard of the Americanist Cause: A Close Look at The John Birch Society, Gary Benoit, editor-in-chief of The New American, examines an organization founded to spearhead such action and to expose and stop the globalist conspiracy: The John Birch Society. Benoit is no stranger to the JBS: A member of the Society since 1968, he has served on staff since 1977, and is well-equipped to introduce readers to the organization that for nearly 70 years has fought to protect our nation from the onslaught of collectivism.
