For we are opposed around the world

By a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy

That relies primarily

On covert means for expanding

Its sphere of influence

On infilitration instead of invasion

On subversion instead of elections

On intimidation instead of free choice

On guerrillas by night

Instead of armies by day

It is a system which has conscripted

Vast human and material resources

Into the building

Of a tightly-knit, highly efficient

Machine that combines military, diplomatic

Intelligence, economic, scientific

And political operations.

Its preparations are concealed

Not published.

Its mistakes are buried

Not headlined.

Its dissenters are silenced, not praised.
