Speakers and Topics

America is under assault. Her enemies are cunning, determined and perhaps even evil.

If we are to survive as a nation, more Americans must learn about those who work to destroy the nation, how they operate, and what their plan is for you.

The John Birch Society’s Speakers Bureau exists to provide those answers. We make available a list of experts on topics including the Deep State, public school indoctrination, the China threat, and more. Furthermore, we provide solutions to how to stop the threats that aim to destroy Americanism.

Speakers are available in-person or through video presentations. Learn more about speakers and topics below and book a speaker today.

Prices vary depending on whether you’re hosting an in-person or webinar event. In-person events begin at $400, which only covers the speaking fee and excludes other expenses like travel, food, or hotel accommodations. Hosting a webinar event is $200.
You are responsible for the speaker fee, transportation, food, and hotel accommodations of the speaker, as well as securing a venue for the speech and promoting it. Our Freedom Voices coordinator at JBS headquarters will book the flight for the speaker. We will find the cheapest flight and confirm with the host of the event before purchasing.
Initially, you'll receive an event estimate covering the speaking fee, starting at $400 and up, along with the estimated flight expense. You and your committee must pay for the transportation for the speaker from their hometown to your event (flying or driving), and their gas mileage from their home to the airport ($0.54 per mile). If the speaker incurs any out-of-pocket expenses, such as baggage fee, toll fee, or food, you will also be charged for this. Our speakers are all aware of these expenses and will be modest in any out-of-pocket expenses. Typically, the total cost of an in-person event runs anywhere from $900-$1,200 depending on how far the speaker is traveling.
When the government shut down the country in 2020, we began hosting online webinars for our speakers to temporarily replace the in-person speaking events. These webinars have been so successful that we have decided to keep them as a cheaper alternative to the in-person event. The total expense for the webinar event is $200. The host can choose to either host a free webinar event or charge a $5-$10 fee to cover the cost. The webinar will also either be a “live” event with the speaker or a recording of their speech. Currently we have several presentations pre-recorded and are working on getting the rest recorded. For the pre-recorded webinar, the first 40-45 minutes will be the recording of the presentation and then we will bring the speaker back to host a live question and answer session after the recording. All of our webinars are run through Zoom. The Freedom Voices coordinator will get everything set up for you on Zoom and will provide a flyer with the registration link, so all the host has to do is promote the event.
For an in-person event, we recommend two-three months. This gives you a comfortable amount of time to make the necessary reservations and promote your event. For the online webinar, we recommend one month as these are a little easier to set up.
No, anyone can host an event.
No, we will provide templates for a flyer, program, and tickets. All you have to do is insert your information and take it to your local print shop.
In most cases, no. You will be responsible for providing all necessary video and audio equipment.
Your local coordinator is a great place to start. Our Freedom Voice’s coordinator is also always at your disposal to help you in whatever way they can.
No, you will be sent an invoice after the event has happened. We give you 30 days after the event to make your payment.
If the speaker cancels, they are responsible for reimbursing you for the speaking fee and any other incurred costs. If your event is cancelled due to inclement weather, you are still responsible for all costs.
No. Due to the proliferatory nature of the internet, all too often our videos have ended up in the wrong hands and been used to send the wrong message. It is for this reason that we ask you to not film your event.

Today, the danger of a sudden and radical transformation of the UN into a true world government has never been more acute.

BOOKNEW TOPIC!! Communist China: Key Player and Role Model for the New World Order

In this presentation, Alex Newman explains how the Deep State helped bring the communists to power in China, and then built up their power until they now threaten the world economically and militarily. Ultimately, as Alex shows, the New World Order being promoted by the Deep State is incompatible with traditional American and Christian values.

BOOKGlobalist “Great Reset” The End of Freedom

In this presentation, Alex Newman explains how the Deep State helped bring the communists to power in China, and then built up their power until they now threaten the world economically and militarily. Ultimately, as Alex shows, the New World Order being promoted by the Deep State is incompatible with traditional American and Christian values. Instead, Beijing provides the model for the diabolical system that the CCP and Western globalists are building.

BOOKThe Truth About “Climate Change” & the War on Liberty

In this explosive talk, Alex Newman explains who is behind CBDCs, and why. More importantly, he explains how you can fight back.

BOOKTranshumanism: The War on Humanity

This transhumanist campaign against God’s design for humanity is already underway. Learn more about this insane yet dangerously real plot, who’s behind it, and how to stop it.

BOOKWeaponizing Religion to Build the New World Order

Welcome to The Great Reset, where globalists say you will own nothing, and like it. The Deep State is using COVID-19 hysteria as an excuse to fundamentally change us and how we live – and not for the better. Alex Newman explains what you can do to resist this globalist agenda.

The bill was introduced each year from the 105th through the 112th Congress. Rebecca lives in Memphis, Tennessee.

BOOKDiabolic Origins of the Great Reset

With the dawn of the Great Reset made possible by the Covid debacle, the conspiratorial wolf is finally beginning to emerge from its sheep’s clothing. In fact, the more Deep State operators openly promote their true agenda, the less we should call it “hidden” or even refer to it as a “conspiracy.” Yet it is the same scheme — couched in new trappings — that has been at work for centuries under other names throughout history, and always with the same goal of overthrowing both church and state and implementing tyranny. It is the reason Robert Welch founded The John Birch Society in 1958. Rebecca Terrell traces the diabolic origins of the Great Reset and reveals what we can do to combat it.

He believes the key to American restoration is citizens who know the U.S. Constitution and hold elected officials accountable to it.

BOOKThe Harsh Reality of a “Convention of States”

Robert Brown shows what Mark Meckler of Convention of States (COS) says about an Article V convention, thoroughly debunks his false statements by examining the historical evidence, and offers a $10,000 challenge to Meckler and COS. Brown concludes examining what a convention would look like if it were held today.

BOOKNullification: The Rightful Remedy

Many people are clamoring for an Article V convention to rein in big government. However, such a convention would result in changing the Constitution and risk removing many of its limitations on government power. But is our problem with big government due to a flaw in the Constitution — or a flaw in the politicians? Nullification, the constitutionally-prescribed practice of ignoring unconstitutional “laws,” is the key to reining in big government, not an Article V convention.

BOOKExposing the Global Attack on Farmers: What You Can Do to Avoid the Next Food Crisis

Governments around the world are taking dangerous steps to drive farmers out of business. Farmers will have their cattle herds cut, their land seized, and be forcibly removed from their farms. Sound too fantastic to be true? It’s already happened in Sri Lanka and the Netherlands — and it’s beginning in Ireland, Canada, and other countries. How long before it happens here?

BOOKAnarchy: An Eyewitness Account

Through a military coup in Chile in 1973, a Socialist/Communist president was removed and Marxism was successfully suppressed. Free market economics were introduced and Chile became the world’s “Economic Miracle” and considered the best in Latin America. Then last October society suddenly erupted in violent protest, burning, looting and fighting with the police and even triggering a state of emergency, bringing out the military to the streets of Santiago, and lasting months. We recently saw something similar happening here. What are the commonalities? Although the spark was different the underlying causes are the same. What is happening in the world today and why?

How did we get here? Recent educational overreaches have finally awakened parents across the county to the ongoing transformation of education that has occurred right under our noses.

BOOKCRT, Trans-Tyranny, and the Crisis in Public School Education

How did we get here? Recent educational overreaches have finally awakened parents across the country to the ongoing transformation of education that has occurred right under our noses. Dr. Duke explains how we've moved from emphasizing knowledge-based mastery of subject matter to a politicized approach that diminishes academic achievement in favor of social justice indoctrination. From Critical Race Theory, to Social Emotional Learning, to LGTBQ propaganda, public schools are usurping the rights of parents while forcing leftist and socialistic dogma on America’s children. The talk also explains how parents can take control of their kids’ education and reject public school indoctrination.

BOOKThe Poisoned Apple of Inflation

In 1913, a group of very rich, very powerful men met in secret on an island off the coast of the state of Georgia. Their plan: Create a national bank that not only produced the nation’s money, but controlled its interest rate. It would be sold to the public as the solution to stock market crashes and depressions. In reality, it was an inflationary mechanism designed to make them even richer, which we have been the victims of ever since.

BOOKBig Government is Crushing the American Dream

Did you know that every elected official – police officers, sheriffs, mayors, judges, governors, representatives, and senators – upon entering office, swears an oath to uphold the Constitution? Are you aware that many of our elected officials either support unconstitutional legislation or act in ways that are unconstitutional? Did you know that we the people have the ability – the responsibility – to enforce the Constitution? The problem is that many people today are not familiar enough with our Constitution to recognize when someone is breaking the rules – and there’s a LOT of rule-breaking going on right now, especially in Washington D.C.
