Longtime member of The John Birch Society, Brad Colovich, tells of his journey from being a "Liberal" to a "Bircher" or educational activist in The John Birch Society (JBS). He notes how Ezra Taft Benson (prominent religious leader with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and former Secretary of Agriculture under President Eisenhower) influenced him to believe that a conspiracy does exist to destroy liberty of all mankind. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxBcodF8Y7Q 

He also mentions that reading "None Dare Call it Conspiracy" by Gary Allen in the early '70s helped change his worldview on how the world works and how people scheme against liberty. https://www.amazon.com/None-Dare-Call-Conspiracy-Allen/dp/1939438004/ref=sr_1_1?crid=LBXSC832JR7&dchild=1&keywords=none+dare+call+it+conspiracy+book&qid=1611620742&sprefix=none+dare+call%2Caps%2C214&sr=8-1 

Brad tells of principles to follow in influencing others, be they "liberal," "conservative," or anywhere in between. He notes that patience and avoiding name calling are good habits to develop. Also, treating others with respect and realizing that not everyone is interested in what "Birchers" may want to share with them are good things to remember.   Lastly, Brad tells all to never give up in the fight for freedom.
