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
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
