the nazis lost the war, those right wing repugs needed to repackage the same ideas. The JBS is a rebranding effort.

Like the teabags are a repug party rebranding effort, after their crushing election losses in '06 and '08.

The Dallas Hunt family used to be point men for all the birchers nazi initiatives, then they faded in the '80's and the Kochs took point.

----------

I remember the Kochs going after Mayer, falsely trying to smear her to silence her reporting on them. Dug up this old Dem Now! story:

So many of the crazy far right religious movements come from the JBS, like so many of the other orgs like CNP and Mackinac. Tim LaHaye, the apocalyptic whack job who wrote the Left Behind series, was a trainer for JBS in California.

Dobson's Focus on the Family is a Colorado Springs outfit. He uses Blackwater mercs as private security. Here's a piece on Dave Koch and Colorado Springs, from the Dem Now interview with Jane Mayer:

"JUAN GONZÁLEZ: You mentioned this phrase that Buckley used, "anarcho-totalitarianism." Talk about the Freedom School and how David Koch was involved with this little-known operation—in Colorado, was it?

JANE MAYER: It is. It was in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Even before he ran as vice president on the Libertarian Party, he was, I guess, a young man in his thirties and was very attracted to this school called the Freedom School that was run by a man named [Robert] LeFevre, who had had a very odd background. He had had a lot of legal brushes. And they taught a kind of a fanatical libertarianism that was almost anarchism. "

That crap about autarchism, anarcho-totalitarianism, anarchist libertarianism, etc., is all fake quibbling. Those are all just different names that really mean "Bircher repug social darwinist fascism".

The above link says this, also:
" There’s a—and it begins long ago. In about 1976, there was a plan laid by Charles Koch to build what he called a radical movement to change the way that America voted and thought. And he said we need to, quote-unquote, "destroy" the statist paradigm and start a movement. And he modeled it on the John Birch Society. He loved the secrecy of the John Birch Society. And there’s a paper that is quoted in here that he wrote in 1976 about how he was going to found a movement and launch it. "

But Koch didn't "model his movement on the John Birch Society", he's a top person in the JBS, and his movement is part of the JBS.
