REPOSTED FROM THE JOHN BIRCH SOCIETY WEEKLY MEMBER UPDATE
Attacks on law enforcement by radical left organizations continue almost daily. They are fed by the liberal press and the official organs of the Communist Party. For a century, Marxists and their front groups have focused on demonizing local police with demonstrations, riots, and false accusations. They then count on leftists in the media to have their poison appear on television and radio, and in liberal newspapers. Their goal is to convince Americans that local police are a serious problem and the solution is a national police force.
Every tyranny on earth logically relies on a national police organization to assure control over the citizens it enslaves. One only need recall Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union in the past, and Cuba and China in the present, to understand the terror inflicted by criminal regimes through their national police.
In June of 1961, the U.S. Senate Internal Security Subcommittee released a small report that detailed Communist plans to discredit and destroy local police forces. Called “A Communist Plot Against the Free World Police,” it was ignored by much of the mass media. Here, in part, is what it said:
Our police are among the foremost guardians of freedom and thus a major target of the Communists.
The better the force … the more vital it is for the Communists to destroy it….
The Communist technique [of war against police] has been directed primarily toward discrediting the police in the eyes of the people….
There is a natural antipathy between the police and Communists. The police learn early in their careers that the Communist Party is not just another political movement but is an international conspiracy….
A campaign against the police of one free country is not planned and directed by the Communist Party of that country; it is planned and directed by the strategists of international communism.
Over 50 years ago, this Senate panel had it right. Images of recent demonstrations in Ferguson, Missouri, and Baltimore, Maryland, showed an unruly mob carrying signs with the Revolutionary Communist Party’s website address prominently displayed. The people in these communities know that communism is not dead and has not gone away.
The John Birch Society is in the process of rejuvenating the Support Your Local Police program. We will start with a special issue of The New American (cover date September 21) on the subject. In addition, there will be a number of videos, a pamphlet, an updated booklet, and a manual for starting a Support Your Local Police committee (this manual will only be available from your Coordinator). Members should contact their Coordinator for information on starting a committee.
If you’re not yet a member, we encourage you to join The John Birch Society to help expose the truth and work toward keeping police independent and accountable to local communities and not the federal government!
