In 1961 the president of the United States at that time, John F. Kennedy, gave a speech to the American press where he warned them against a “monolithic conspiracy”. In the 1960s the whole world was enrolled in the cold war, and communism was the greatest danger towards the freedom of all the Western nations. So we are told. But the question is if that is the whole story. There is strong evidence that communism in Russia and China was financed and created by some of the most powerful and influential men in the United States through their many front organizations and the so-called Tax-Exempt Foundations.
Let’s begin the story with Kennedy’s statement:
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. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed. It conducts the Cold War, in short, with a war-time discipline no democracy would ever hope or wish to match.

Two years later in 1963 John F. Kennedy was shot and killed.
But communism was not a conspiracy. The Soviet Union was an open enemy against the United States and it ideology of capitalism.
But if you look at the historical facts then you can discover that some of the most powerful, influential and rich men were secretly working through their big corporate organizations to bring about communism in the United States. And even more than that, they had also been instrumental in bringing communism to Russia and China.
