About the Book:"How could an intelligent man...?" This is the first question that comes to mind as readers begin exploring the hidden core of the John Birch Society. For two years, Gerald Schomp worked as a paid patriot for this remarkable socio-political group. With naive enthusiasm, he spread their beliefs until a shocking public encounter with an illiterate Black garbage man changed everything. Schomp’s ironic and powerful account of life within the Birch Society makes for one of the most revealing and entertaining political exposés: *Birchism Was My Business.* If someone called the John Birch Society darkly comedic, members would angrily deny it. Yet Schomp has written a book that is as humorous as it is tragic, telling the story of a “superpatriot” dedicated to fighting Communism and a supposed "International Conspiracy" of "Insiders." Secretive yet messianic, the Birch Society and its founder, Robert Welch, are relics in modern society. And the Birchers themselves? According to Schomp, they are the "least likely" people in the world. Schomp delves into the Birch Society's mystique, its funding, Welch’s control, how it recruits members, and its stance on Jews, Black people, and American conservatives. His honest and insightful narrative provides a compelling look at right-wing extremism. For those of you who don't know about the Birch Society:The John Birch Society (JBS), founded in 1958 by Robert Welch, is a conservative advocacy group known for its staunch opposition to communism and its belief in a global conspiracy of "Insiders" working to undermine U.S. sovereignty. Named after John Birch, a U.S. intelligence officer killed by Chinese communists, the organization promotes limited government, personal freedom, and traditional values. Often criticized for promoting far-right views and conspiracy theories, the JBS was highly influential in the 1960s, but its secretive nature and controversial positions, such as opposing civil rights legislation, have drawn both public scrutiny and political backlash.
