The Jack Acid Society Black Book was a sharp parody of the John Birch Society Blue Books, funded by Fred Koch, father of the brothers. The book still works on everything from the Tea Parties to Qanon:

  • Goldwater's States Rights Dog Whistle
  • The Southern Strategy
  • Newt Gingrich
  • the Tea Parties
  • Trumpists
  • and the latest iteration, the ultra-wacko Qanon conspiracy—not theories, but literal paranoid fantasies

and everything in between. And the Know-Nothings and Father Coughlin and Joe McCarthy before that.

The Prince of Pompadoodle, from the Jack Acid Society Black Book, by Pogo (as told to Walt Kelly) hearing that there is a conspiracy to kill him.
Oh, noesky! The Deep Kingdom, er, Principality!

I Diaried the Black Book six years ago, in

Monday, 9/29/2014: Grokking Republicans: The Jack Acid Society Black Book

so I am not going to go over the same ground with either the original Birchers or all of the shady denizens of the swamp.
