Speaker 0 explains that there are three possible ways the communists might take over the United States. The first is a peaceful coup d'etat like Czechoslovakia in 1948. The second is by fomenting civil war in the United States and aiding the communist side with military force. The third and most relied upon method is a gradual, insidious takeover that slips over the American people before they realize it, occurring gradually but surely with increasing speed.
A part of this plan is to induce the gradual surrender of American sovereignty piece by piece to international organizations, with the United Nations as the most prominent example. Another part is the transformation of the United States into a socialist nation, similar to pre-police-state Russia, before any enforcement is introduced. To explain the aim, he quotes a directive by which some of the largest American foundations have been secretly but visibly working for years, aimed at changing the economic and political structure of the United States so it can be comfortably merged with Soviet Russia.
The ten communist aims for the United States are outlined as follows:
1) greatly expanded government spending for every conceivable means of wasting American money.
2) higher and then much higher taxes.
3) an increasingly unbalanced budget despite higher taxes.
4) wild inflation of the currency.
5) government controls of prices, wages, and materials supposedly to combat inflation.
6) greatly increased socialist controls over every operation of the economy and daily life, accompanied by a corresponding rise in the size of the bureaucracy and the reach and cost of domestic government.
7) far more centralization of power in Washington and the practical elimination of state lines, with a drive toward reducing state boundaries to resemble county lines within states.
8) a steady advance of federal aid to and control over the educational system, leading to complete federalization of public education.
9) a constant hammering of the American consciousness regarding the horrors of modern warfare and the supposed necessity of peace on communist terms.
10) a willingness to allow step-by-step appeasement by the government, amounting to a piecemeal surrender of the rest of the free world and of the United States itself.
In summary, the speaker argues that America is rapidly losing a cold war in which freedom, the country, and existence are at stake, often without public awareness, while the communists are assumed to be aware of what is happening. The one thing the communists fear, according to the speech, is that the American people will wake up too soon to what has been happening, and the remedy is for the American people to learn the truth in time.
