John Birch Society

The John Birch Society (česky Společnost Johna Birche) je americká politická zájmová skupina, podporujícící to, co považuje za tradiční konzervativní hodnoty (jako např. soukromé vlastnictví, roli zákona a suverenitu USA) a oponující globalizaci. Aktuálně vystupuje např. pro audit a postupné opuštění Federálního rezervního systému a přechod z měny s nuceným oběhem na zlatý standard, nebo pro vystoupení USA z Organizace spojených národů. Společnost Johna Birche stojí politicky napravo podle amerického politického spektra. V době studené války vystupovala výrazně antikomunisticky. Historie John Birch Society byla založena v roce 1958 v Indianapolis ve státě Indiana dvanácti zakládajícími členy, lidmi vedenými Robertem W. Welchem, Jr, který byl jejím prezidentem až do roku 1983. Nese jméno Johna Birche, amerického vojenského rozvědného důstojníka a baptistického misionáře z II. světové války, který byl zabit v roce 1945 příznivci čínské komunistické strany; Birchovi rodiče pak do Společnosti vstoupili jako doživotní členové. V roce 1983 se stal předsedou Larry McDonald, který téhož roku zahynul na palubě sestřeleného letu KAL 007. V současné době Společnost sídlí ve městě Appleton ve státě Wisconsin a má pobočky ve všech 50 amerických státech.

John Birch Society

La John Birch Society (JBS) est une association d'extrême-droite américaine, fondée à Indianapolis en 1958. Son nom fait référence à John Birch, militaire et missionnaire protestant, tué par des communistes chinois en 1945, considéré ainsi comme la première victime de la guerre froide. Présentation Elle a été fondée en 1958, par une douzaine de personnes, dont Robert W. Welch, Jr., ancien industriel. Avant tout anticommuniste, la JBS, qui défend les valeurs judéo-chrétiennes, compte des personnalités des courants paléoconservateur et paléolibertarien, s'oppose à l'interventionnisme, à l'immigration illégale, ainsi qu'au collectivisme. Elle a accueilli dans les années 1960 quelques personnalités de l'« ultra-droite »[pas clair] américaine[réf. nécessaire]. En mars 1961, l'organisation compte entre 60 000 et 100 000 membres[réf. nécessaire]. Son influence a décliné à partir des années 1990. Elle dispose d'une revue, nommée à l'origine One Man's Opinion, puis American Opinion, qui s'appelle désormais The New American et qui paraît toutes les deux semaines. Parmi ses campagnes, on compte celle de 1959, dans laquelle elle réclamait le retrait des États-Unis de l'Organisation des Nations unies, accusant cette dernière de vouloir instaurer un gouvernement mondial, son opposition au Mouvement des droits civiques en 1964, soulignant le nombre de communistes américains qui en étaient membres, son soutien à la candidature républicaine de Barry Goldwater pour l'élection présidentielle de 1964. La John Birch Society a édité plusieurs publications, notamment The Gravediggers, de Phyllis Schlafly et du contre-amiral Chester Ward, ou None Dare Call It Treason de John A. Stormer, vendu à 7 millions d'exemplaires, dont le sujet étudié est l'établissement par Richard Nixon de relations diplomatiques entre la Chine communiste et les États-Unis dans les années 1970, la première guerre du Golfe, l'action en faveur de l'Impeachment contre Bill Clinton, ou encore l'opposition aux actes de torture menés dans le cadre de la guerre contre le terrorisme menée par George W.

John Birch Society

De John Birch Society (JBS) is een Amerikaanse rechts-radicale groepering, opgericht in 1958 door zakenman-activist Robert W. Welch, Jr. (1899–1985) als een voornamelijk anticommunistische propaganda- en lobbyorganisatie. Als 'communistisch' beschouwen de 'birchers' van oudsher een uiteenlopende reeks van personen en organisaties, van president Dwight D. Eisenhower via de burgerrechtenbeweging (een complot vanuit Moskou om een 'negroïde sovjetrepubliek' te stichten) tot islamitisch terrorisme (dat eveneens aangestuurd heet te worden vanuit Moskou). Het Southern Poverty Law Center schaart de John Birch Society onder de zogenaamde patriot groups, gedefinieerd als groepen die zich verzetten tegen een (vermeende) Nieuwe Wereldorde of anderszins extreme anti-overheidsstandpunten uitdragen.

Towarzystwo Johna Bircha

Towarzystwo Johna Bircha – organizacja polityczna działająca w Stanach Zjednoczonych. Opis Zrzeszenie powstało w 1958. Patronem został baptystyczny misjonarz John Birch, którego w 1945 zamordowali komuniści w Chinach. Towarzystwo jako cel postawiło sobie szukanie i demaskowanie „komunistycznej konspiracji”, która rzekomo była obecna w strukturach władzy na szczeblu federalnym. Przeciwnicy polityczni zarzucali działaczom organizacji stosowanie metod przypominających makkartyzm. Towarzystwo opowiadało się za większymi uprawnieniami stanów kosztem zmniejszenia znaczenia władzy federalnej. Szczególną niechęcią darzono sędziego Earla Warrena, zwolennika zniesienia segregacji rasowej. Największe poparcie Towarzystwo posiadało w Kalifornii i stanach południowych. Przypisy

John Birch Society

John Birch Society (JBS) är en amerikansk paleokonservativ organisation. Organisationen betecknar sig som patriotisk och antikommunistisk, med kristna värderingar. JBS har kategoriserats som en högerradikal och högerextrem organisation. John Birch Society grundades 1958 av den pensionerade affärsmannen Robert Welch (1899–1985), för att, som de menade, kämpa mot kommunism och för den amerikanska konstitutionen. Med deras egna ord: "Less Government, More Responsibility, and — With God's Help — a Better World" ("Mindre stat, mer ansvar och – med Guds hjälp – en bättre värld"). Rörelsens nuvarande högkvarter ligger i Appleton i delstaten Wisconsin. Politiska sakfrågor John Birch Society (JBS) har genom åren företrätt ett antal konservativa åsikter. Grundaren Robert Welch betraktade medborgarrättsrörelsen som samhällsomstörtande och beskyllde president Eisenhower för att vara kommunist. Rörelsen propagerar för USA:s utträde ur FN och är emot alla former av offentligt finansierade välfärdssystem. Rörelsen är även starkt kritisk till den amerikanska invandringspolitiken. John Birch Organisationen är uppkallad efter John Birch, en amerikansk baptistpastor och underrättelseofficer inom Office of Strategic Services som dödades i augusti 1945 i närheten av Xi'an, Kina av kommunisttrupper, strax efter Japans kapitulation. Rörelsens grundare ansåg att Birch var det första offret i det kalla kriget. Kuriosa John Wayne var en av rörelsens mer kända medlemmar. Bob Dylan har i en satirisk sång, "Talkin' John Birch Paranoid Blues", beskrivit den kommunistskräck som en fiktiv medlem upplever. John Birch Societys dåvarande ordförande Larry McDonald var ett av dödsoffren när Korean Air Lines flight 007 sköts ned över sovjetiskt territorium den 1 september 1983.

Holcombe Flowage

Holcombe Flowage is a reservoir on the Chippewa River in Chippewa County and Rusk County, Wisconsin. The dam stands between the towns of Birch Creek and Lake Holcombe, just west of the settlement of Holcombe, Wisconsin, in Chippewa County, where most of the reservoir lies. A small part of the reservoir also extends northward into the Town of Willard in Rusk County. The flowage is a popular recreation area, and the shores are thick with homes and cottages. It covers 2,881 acres (1,166 ha) at an average depth of 12 feet (3.7 m), a maximum depth of 61 feet (19 m), and a volume of just under 47,000 acre-feet (58,000,000 m3). Holcombe Dam The current Holcombe Dam is a hydro-electric facility built in 1950 by the Wisconsin-Minnesota Light and Power Company, and is now owned and operated by Xcel Energy. It produces an average of 34 megawatts, and is one of six Xcel hydro plants on the Chippewa. The flowage was originally created by the 1878 Little Falls Dam impounding the Chippewa. The dam was built by Elijah Swift and Joseph Viles for the Chippewa River Improvement and Log Driving Company to provide reliable water for floating logs downstream. Parts of the dam were washed out by floods in 1880 and 1884. A terrible accident occurred in 1905, when eleven log drivers drowned trying to get to a log jam near the dam. Sixteen men in a boat had tried to break up the logjam. Five men managed to leap to safety but the rest were thrown against the logs and rocks by the current. The dam functioned until 1910, when logging operations ceased. It washed out in the 1920s. References
Holocaust Memorial (Lieberman)

Holocaust Memorial is a public artwork by American artist Claire Lieberman located on the Jewish Museum Milwaukee lawn, which is near downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States. It is located at 1360 North Prospect Ave. This piece is 10 ft x 24 ft x 20 ft. The materials used are Corten steel, black granite, and brick. The Holocaust Memorial was created in 1983. Description Holocaust Memorial is a sculpture that conveys a circular space, which is 10 ft x 24 ft x 20 ft. The ground is laid brick that is almost enclosed by granite seating which forms the circle. At the entrance there are 22 trapezoid panels of steel, eleven on each side. Each trapezoid has a name of a concentration camp in steel that can be seen from inside the circle. On the opposite side of the entrance there is a Granite Pillar with a yellow band. The sculpture also has an inscription which reads "IN MEMORY OF THE SIX MILLION JEWISH MARTYRS WHO PERISHED IN THE HOLOCAUST AND IN RECOGNITION OF THE COURAGE AND SPIRIT OF THE SURVIVORS" Historic Information "Visitors enter the enclosed Memorial through steel sheets that evoke the pages of a book. Each one is marked with the name of a concentration camp. Over the years, the metal has aged, making the sheets look tear-stained. As one goes into the memorial, railroad ties recall the trains which transported Jews to concentration camps. A granite obelisk is at the center of the sculpture, to symbolize the chimneys used in crematoria. It is inscribed with the word Zakhor, 'remember." The Memorial is both open, yet protected, creating a space of its own. Community members, including immigrants who lost loved ones in the Holocaust, use the Holocaust Memorial as a place to remember. Location History 'Holocaust Memorial' is located at the Jewish Museum Milwaukee funded by the Milwaukee Jewish Federation. Artist Claire Lieberman grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She attended Whitefish Bay High School as well as the Milwaukee Independent School. She studied art at the Boston Museum School, graduating in 1976. Lieberman then moved to Carrara, Italy to study how to be a stonecutter. She worked in New York City from 1985 until 1993, and then joined the faculty of the University of Chicago. "Ms. Lieberman's work is abstract, yet figurative in intent. Her sculpture has interesting contrasts in forms and texture. She regularly exhibits in major galleries and her work is reviewed in major art periodicals." References
Holy Trinity Roman Catholic Church (Milwaukee, Wisconsin)

The Holy Trinity Roman Catholic Church is a historic church built in 1850 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin - now one of oldest surviving church buildings in the city, and very intact. In 1972, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. History The Walker's Point settlement was founded in the 1830s. Many of the early settlers were German-speaking Catholics - many with roots in southern Germany and Austria. In the late 1840s, Father Salzmann of St. Mary's Church began organizing those German-speaking Catholics of the south side into Holy Trinity parish. German-born architect Victor Schulte designed the main block of Holy Trinity (as he had St. Mary's) rectangular with brick walls which have weathered to a warm gray. Bays are framed in pilasters, with a large round-topped window in the center of each. The roof is low-pitched, largely hidden behind a brick parapet. The style is influenced by Zopfstil, a German counterpart of the American Federal style. Initially, it did not have a steeple. Inside the three front entries lead to a shallow vestibule. Beyond that, the nave has pews along a central aisle leading to a semicircular chancel. The church was dedicated by John Henni, the first Archbishop of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Milwaukee, on September 22, 1850. The steeple was added in 1862, designed by German-trained Leonard A. Schmidtner, consisting of an octagonal tower rising behind the front entrance of the church, leading to a smaller octagon at the next stage, leading to a tall spire with four windows, topped with a cross high above. The interior was renovated in 1863. The clock was installed in the tower in 1869. The interior was renovated more in 1874, and the pipe organ was installed in 1878. The wooden altarpieces were added in 1890, built by Aegidius Hackner of La Crosse. Over the years the Germans have waned in the surrounding neighborhood, and Puerto Ricans and Mexican-Americans have increased. In the 1960s Holy Trinity's parish merged with Our Lady of Guadalupe Church. Nevertheless, the church building itself stands much as it did in the 1800s - a key building in the Walker's Point Historic District. References
