"The Communist threat from without must not blind us to the Communist threat from within. The latter is reaching into the very heart of America through its espionage agents and a cunning, defiant, and lawless communist party, which is fanatically dedicated to the Marxist cause of world enslavement and destruction of the foundations of our republic." | by: | J. Edgar Hoover (1895-1972) first Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) |
