Secret Societies

Ladies and gentlemen
The very word "secrecy" is repugnant in a free and open society

And there is very grave danger
For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy

That relies primarily on infiltration instead of invasion
On subversion instead of elections

Its preparations are concealed, not published
Its mistakes are buried, not headlined
Its dissenters are silenced, not praised

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

And we are as a people inherently and historically opposed
To secret societies
To secret oaths
And to secret proceedings
