"Most important of all of these gigantic reversals of the truth, in the realm of strategy, has been the cruel pretense, all over the world and to the American people, that the United States was the one great enemy of Communism. The fact has been exactly the opposite. Since early in 1945 the most powerful single force in promoting Communism everywhere, and in turning one nation after another over to Communist tyranny - as in Czecho-Slovakia and China and Cuba and the Congo - has been the help of the United States Government to that end. The record to support this statement is absolutely dear to anybody who will give it objective study." – Robert Welch
