Jewish Spying on the John Birch Society
The John Birch Society (JBS), before it was completely neutered by Jewish infiltration and control, was seen early on by the Jewish power structure as a locus of resistance to the changes they were making to American society. As such, the Society became the object of a massive Jewish espionage and disruption operation. It will be remembered by many long-time NV readers that Revilo Oliver, Lincoln Rockwell, William Pierce, and Kevin Strom were all associated with the JBS in the early years of their political activities (Oliver, in fact, was one of the Society’s founders).

BELOW IS AN X thread (via the Threadreader app) by a Jew named Nate (= Nathan) Hochman summarizing some of the information revealed in a portion of a new Leftist book attacking the old John Birch Society. He discusses how the Jews surreptitiously and illegally spied on, attacked the members of, and undermined the JBS from the 1950s through the 1970s.
Kevin Alfred Strom noticed an overt outcropping of that program more than 40 years ago:
When I was a member of the Birch Society back in the late 1970s to around 1981, a “nice Jewish man” whose name I don’t remember would come to our meetings several times a year, carefully look over the literature rack, and “observe” the meeting, taking careful notes. Strangely, on two occasions that I know of, his visits fell on the meeting immediately following that at which we had as our guest Dale Crowley, Jr., a Washington-area Christian radio preacher known for his ant-Zionist (though not anti-Jewish) position — as if he knew when Crowley had dropped by. On the occasions of our fine Jewish observer’s visits, our chapter leader, Mrs. Hill McAllister Burch, would hide her Liberty Lobby Jew-critical materials (which she sold, doubtless without Society approval) in another room, to be returned to the book sale shelf at the next meeting.
The book is by a Jewish professor at George Washington University, with whom the ADL shared a portion of its secret spy data about the JBS for the first time. Articles about this have now appeared in several Jewish publications as well.
Here is the thread by Hochman:
For over a decade, the ADL used undercover spies to conduct a vast, coordinated, and potentially illegal campaign of espionage against the John Birch Society.
Until this year, that campaign was a secret.
It was uncovered by a historian digging through historical archives. In March, GWU historian Matthew Dallek published a book about the John Birch Society (JBS), a hard-right anticommunist org that was prominent in the 60s and 70s.
During the research process, Dallek was given access to a trove of internal ADL documents from that time period.
What Dallek uncovered was “a lengthy, multidimensional, and previously undisclosed counterintelligence operation waged by the ADL to infiltrate and dig up damaging information about” JBS, spanning from 1959 to the 1970s — and involving current and former US intelligence officials.
The ADL’s spies — which included police officers, accountants, religious leaders, journalists, and members of civil society — used code names to pose as Birchers, feeding intel back to the ADL.
The tactics they used to collect that intel were highly secretive — and often extreme: “Some of the ADL’s financial investigations, from using third parties for credit checks to fishing for data about individuals’ trusts, may even have been illegal,” Dallek wrote.
But for the ADL, the ends “justified the morally questionable means, which included outright spying.”
According to Dallek, the ADL utilized a kind of proto-doxxing: Spies “searched for connections between the Society and respectable individuals and institutions, to embarrass them into renouncing” the JBS.
As a result, “Birchers… sometimes found their careers in jeopardy.”
This was carried out through the ADL’s close relationship with members of the media, which it leveraged to threaten Birchers, derail JBS events, and coordinate public pressure campaigns — an early version of the advertiser boycotts the ADL uses against figures like Elon Musk today.
One of the key figures in this operation was Isadore Zack, a former counterespionage expert for the US Army.
During WWII, Zack worked in “domestic intelligence” — i.e., spying on other Americans — as detailed in this 2001 piece from a local paper: patriotledger.com/story/special/…
After the war, Zack became director of “fact-finding and public relations” for the ADL’s New England region, overseeing “a cadre of ADL spies.”
Unsurprisingly, Dallek writes, those spies “employed techniques that were on par with government-backed clandestine operations.”
Under Zack’s leadership, the ADL worked directly with US intelligence agencies. Zack was in regular contact with the FBI, feeding intel to J. Edgar Hoover’s Subversive Trends of Current Interest Program, which “recorded thousands of pages of material” about the JBS.
It wouldn’t be the first — nor the last — time the ADL worked with government intelligence agencies to take down political dissidents.
As Michael Shellenberger documents here, the group has a long history of illegal espionage, extending well into the modern era.
The point here isn’t that you should agree with the politics of the JBS — a group that was known for kooky, fringe conspiracy theories — or any of the other groups that the ADL has spied on.
The point is that in a free society, ideas should be hashed out in the public square.
Since its inception, the ADL has sought to undermine that principle, and has opted instead for the use of subterfuge tactics against its ideological opponents.
It’s not a “noble” organization that has simply lost its way; it’s been like this from the start. #BanTheADL
It is the same today, except that Jews now have even more power to harm those they hate than they did in the past.
Reading what they do to people, and considering the obsessive depth and scope of their activities (a strange, collective, insect-like group behavior exhibited across generations), it is hard to see a way to escape their clutches and reestablish civilization. In truth, ADL power extends right down through state and local Gentile elites, “law enforcement,” prosecutors, the judiciary, etc. There is no point at which it stops, and no point at which Gentiles refuse to slavishly carry out Jewish orders, no matter how illegal or immoral.
It shows how inextricably intertwined Jewry is with the media, government, the military, intelligence agencies, the FBI (all of whose special agents and analysts today receive formal training from the ADL), etc. Even the allegedly powerful J. Edgar Hoover cooperated with the Jews against Whites.
Obviously, the book only skims the surface of what they did in this case, because things are always worse than what is revealed.
