Compromise Is No Solution | Activate America

October 12, 2021 Episode

Our Founding Fathers were worried about two political parties. Their concern was that party members would work harder for their party than the country. Today that’s what we see.

Parties introduce outrageous bills that deadlock both sides. Then someone will suggest a compromise that isn’t a solution at all, merely something to pass so everyone looks good.

Learn more about this process and how educating yourself and others is the true solution.

How Globalists Utilize the Pandemic

September 29, 2021 Episode

Pandemics, universal healthcare, and travel restrictions… a savory recipe for globalists. In the past 2 years, we’ve faced a variety of government initiatives. These initiatives are designed to control our lives more and more by big government and towards a one-world government they call the New World Order.

Don’t just take our word for it, it’s all laid out on the World Economic Forum’s Great Reset page (see link below). The Great Reset goes hand-in-hand with the United Nation’s calling for universal healthcare back in 2019. It’s interesting how this is all being justified and widely promoted due to the pandemic.

In China: The Deep State’s Trojan Horse in America, Arthur shows that the pandemic and its edicts have been planned over an eleven year period (see link to the book below). Find out more details about how we may be fooled by fear tactics on this week’s Activate America.

The Left Demonizes the Right! | Activate America

September 15, 2021 Episode

The Left keeps pushing, hoping to get Conservatives to react verbally in the media or even worse, physically.  When they do react, the media demonizes them as extremists.  Remember the McCloskeys from St. Louis, who waved guns at protestors who were on their property?

Watch Activate America to learn how education and organization, instead of reaction, is the way to go.

Who Are the Real Experts? | Activate America

September 7, 2021 Episode

As Art Thompson puts it, “Those who don’t know their past are condemned to repeat it.” At the John Birch Society, we stress the importance of education. It is crucial to discern whether the history that’s being taught is from credible sources, and that’s the tricky part for the average American. As much as we’d like to trust conservative media, it’s been shown that even they bend the truth. Find out on this week’s Activate about certain Republicans, as well as major Republican organizations, misleading others in the media.

Action Items:
1.) Learn more about the Deep State by reading, “In the Shadows of the Deep State”

2.) To learn more about the first 100 years of this country and how it impacts us today read,
“To the Victor Go the Myths and the Monuments”

Education Spreads Truth

September 1, 2021 Episode

Over the years The John Birch Society has been spreading the truth by writing and printing books on many subjects.  Two of these books are “In the Shadows of the Deep State” and “To the Victor Go the Myths & Monuments”. 

A common thread that runs through these books is the Council on Foreign Relations and how they are steadily working towards a one world government.  A one world government will slowly dissolve the Republic form of government and with it, America’s sovereignty.

To really understand what’s going on, you need to read these two books.  Our country needs well-informed, well-read leaders.  Arm yourself with knowledge and you can be that leader starting today.

Action Items:

Reading adds to your education, so start reading, get educated and then tell others.  Read Arthur R. Thompson’s books:

The Afghanistan War: Who’s Responsible?

August 24, 2021 Episode

There’s more than meets the eye when it comes to the recent withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan. For example, did you know that the Afghan War was led by Council on Foreign Relations members, including Gen Patraeus?

For those unaware, he was the head of the CIA and was forced to resign after being caught in a sex scandal. He went from there to heading up the plan of the CFR for uniting North America, the United States, Canada, and Mexico, into a single country which would abrogate the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution with its Bill of Rights.

Now we have witnessed the fall of the Afghan government and the rapid sweeping advancement of the Taliban across all of Afghanistan. In addition, we have left behind millions and millions of dollars of military equipment now in the hands of the Taliban, including some of the latest technology in military equipment. Much of this is already on its way to Pakistan and then the China according to interviews on FOX television of Afghani experts.

The people in charge of the current Afghan situation are members of the CFR. Let us remind you that the CFR’s mission is a one-world government, not an independent United States.

Action Items:
1.) Learn more about how the Council on Foreign Relations pulls government strings in Art’s book, Shadows of the Deep State.

2) Get involved & help stop a North American Union by using our action page.

Why Communists Fake Collapse

July 14, 2021 Episode

Has this happened before? Countries such as Hungary, East Germany Czechoslovakia and Poland have already gone through this and Hong Kong and Cuba may be next.

Honoring the 4th of July Wrong? | Activate America

July 7, 2021 Episode

We at The John Birch Society hope you enjoyed the recent holiday weekend… For there is an organized campaign to get us to forget Independence Day and even July 4th. Unfortunately, we celebrate the 4th of July and some tend to forget what day it is: Independence Day. The day we celebrate our independence.

The Declaration of Independence is no longer taught in our schools to the level it should be because it runs up against the agenda of the communist Marxists. Could Independence Day soon be abolished? Find out on this episode of Activate America.

Using Humor to Educate | Activate America

June 2, 2021 Episode

Our neighbor to the north, Canada, has even worse pandemic edicts than we do in the U.S. You can be fined thousands of dollars if you leave your metropolitan area. Businesses that are ordered shut, can be fined even more, if they are found open. With all these edicts, remember, Canada is a partner in the USMCA agreement with us! So, when you find yourself discussing these and other divisive issues, remember to use humor. You may find the other person laughing with you at how ridiculous some of these issues are.

Polish Pastor Faces Imprisonment for “Insulting Catholic Feelings”! | Activate America

May 26, 2021 Episode

Too many Americans take our Bill of Rights for granted. We see in the example of a Polish pastor, Pawel Chojecki, that freedom of speech does not exist even in countries which profess that they are no longer communist. Polish Pastor Paweł Chojecki is facing criminal charges by the Polish government for violating the country’s speech codes. The criminal trial is ongoing. Another hearing will be held on May 28. It will be the last one before sentencing. Pastor Chojecki faces 5 years in prison.

Property Rights Under Attack | Activate America

May 23, 2021 Episode

A Florida man had to take care of his mother’s estate out of state. He hired a guy to cut his lawn but that guy passed away and the lawn went uncut. That’s when the city stepped in and started to fine him per day for not mowing his lawn, eventually accumulating fines of $30,000!

This is nothing new. There has been a deterioration of property rights all across the country and as a result we see mob rule, anarchy, along with the destruction of property. This destruction has been taking place gradually. Art Thompson will discuss a bit of the history and where your property rights end and where your local government begins.
