John Birch Society Lauds New Sibel Edmonds Book

9. My comment on the link is about continuity. The OP doesn't say, 'this is a comment on a review.'

Your OP is not quoting the article itself, but a comment which led to some interesting results, and your take on it seems to make a conclusion that the review linked to does not make.

On investigation, I found the comment and your conclusion very likely true, as you see by my post. She has joined the Patriot Movement, which is closely allied with the Birchers. It does not mean that she has joined them officially nor that the JBS is official endorsing her book.

There is no direct review of the book by the JBS itself, though. I hope that explains my opinion as to the link, as I appreciated the mental exercise, and don't mean to cause you offense.

Here's one link with several stories on JBS and their resurgence with the CT movement:

The official JBS links are here to verify how close their ideology is to the GOP, Paulites, etc:

I enjoyed piecing some of this together. It shows how far and wide the rightwing infiltration is. I'm very glad that you posted this.
