John Birch Society

The John Birch Society (JBS) is an American conservative organization founded in 1958 by Robert Welch Jr. It advocates for limited government, individual liberties, and a strict interpretation of the U.S. Constitution. The society is known for its anti-communist stance and promotion of various conspiracy theories, particularly regarding government and political institutions. JBS believes that many political movements seek to undermine American freedoms. While it played a significant role in the conservative movement during the 1960s, it has often been controversial and criticized for its views and methods of activism.
