ALEXANDER WILEY This document is devoted to meeting the most basic challenge facing our Nation-its own self-preservation. It is intended as a reference manual on all phases of the problem of protecting our internal security. Toward that end it chronicles in each of six parts, step by step, America's legal efforts to preserve itself from the menace from within. The manual is designed to enable the reader-layman and lawyerto have for the first time within the covers of one book, with extensive index, references to all the Federal legal tools with which to comprehend and perform his active duties of citizenship in helping to protect our security. The data set forth herein is entirely factual and contains a minimum of descriptive comment. I have confined substantive editorial remarks to this introduction. It, in turn, has been presented at some length in order to provide a detailed frame of reference for the reader's approach to the contents of this document. THE GREAT EVIL OF OUR TIMES The reader will recognize that, from the very inception of our Republic, the nature of the menace to our internal security and the degree of its gravity have changed over and over again. As the United States has emerged to world leadership, becoming, as of the present, the citadel for free civilization, it has become the No. 1 target of the most powerful menace to freedom in man's history. Thus, today the danger to our internal security is concentrated in one particular evil. This great evil of our times is, of course, the fanatic, totalitarian creed, communism, a new "religion" of irreligion and antireligion. The central headquarters for the revolutionary spread of that evil atheistic creed lies within the forbidding walls of the Kremlin in Moscow. The zealous disciples of that evil creed and their legions of dupes and fellow travelers may be found in the United States and, virtually, everywhere else in the world. The purpose of the evil creed is the attainment of nothing short of absolute power in the world by the destruction of every other force which opposes it. The techniques of the evil creed are compounded of all the Machiavellian devices used by power-hungry zealots throughout history. But the techniques have been brought up to date, sharpened, integrated in a cold, ruthless pattern of internal and external conquest. 1 |
