had approved the sale of 1.4 million pounds of uranium oxide mined in Wyoming and New Mexico
to the Soviet government. It would in turn be processed into pellets rich in Uranium 235. “This
isotope provides the power for nuclear electric plants and for the atomic bomb.”

Why, one might ask, if the American government truly considered the Soviet Union to be an “Evil
Empire” would it be sending it highly controlled material used in the construction of weapons of
mass destruction?

There have been some men in high positions within the U.S. government and military who have
discovered what has been done clandestinely to build up the Soviet Union, all the while the same
government and military are saying that the Soviet Union was the greatest threat to global freedom
and peace. Two men in particular were James Forrestal, America’s first Secretary of Defense, and
General George Patton. These men were adamantly opposed to aiding the Soviets, and discovering
that the policies and actions of the American government were aiding the Communists, these men
became outspoken critics. Both men met untimely deaths while in the care of the government in
military hospitals. For those who care to pursue this subject further, their stories make insightful
reading. Interestingly, both James Forrestal and Joseph McCarthy, died in Bethesda Naval Hospital
under suspicious circumstances.

People of God, as the media and government have for decades talked about the “Red Menace” of the
Soviet Union, they have used this as an excuse for massive military spending and entry into
numerous conflicts.

Brothers and sisters, the Cold War, like the Space Race which grew out of it, were both fictions
created for public consumption. They were used to justify the huge expenditures of governments
which in turn passed the money along to multinational corporations and bankers. Remember once
again the words of President Kennedy cited early on in this book.

The very word "secrecy" is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently
and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings...

Our way of life is under attack. Those who make themselves our enemy are advancing around the
globe. The survival of our friends is in danger. And yet no war has been declared, no borders have
been crossed by marching troops, no missiles have been fired.

If the press is awaiting a declaration of war before it imposes the self-discipline of combat
conditions, then I can only say that no war ever posed a greater threat to our security. If you are
awaiting a finding of "clear and present danger," then I can only say that the danger has never been
more clear and its presence has never been more imminent...

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 infiltration 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
