Just more evidence that the ADL functions as a spy agency for foreign interests. In this case they subverted the JBS in order to set back the grassroots American anticommunist movement.

JBS was named in honor of John Birch, a US intel officer killed by Chinese communists in '45.

In 1954, a NYC fireman went to the @FBI with his concerns that the ADL was a "communist outfit".

Of course it's well known that the ADL sided with the DOJ instead of the Jewish Rosenbergs in the atomic espionage case.

But could there be anything to the ADL's commie connections?

Researcher Laird Wilcox in his book "The Watchdogs" recounts how an @FBI memo concluded ADL had falsely cited a nonexistent FBI memo in order to minimize the communist threat.

ADL's agenda appears to have been to exaggerate right wing threats while minimizing the commie threat.

Laird Wilcox's study of FOIA'ed @FBI records also revealed how the FBI was concerned about the communist ties of some prominent ADL operatives: ADL chairman (1963-1969) D. Schary, ADL Washington director Edelsberg, and ADL Florida director Balkin.

@FBI also found evidence that A. Forster, who went on to become ADL general counsel ('46-'79) ran in commie circles: Forster was secret ADL liaison to Albert Kahn's commie rag The Hour, and infiltrated a Lindbergh rally using a press pass stolen from NY Post by a commie reporter.

Incidentally, Arnold Forster was the one who hired on Soviet-born Jew Abe Foxman at the ADL.

Foxman would go on to lead the ADL as director from 1987–2015.

Foxman famously demanded the release of Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard. Israel gave some of the docs he stole to the USSR.

A 1969 @FBI memo raised the possibility that the ADL, in view of its close ties to the Israeli goverment and its espionage-like activities on US soil, was acting as an unregistered foreign agent of Israel, in violation of federal law.
