During the 1964 election campaign, Barry Goldwater challenged President Lyndon Johnson. In that year, a man named John A. Stormer self-published a book titled None Dare Call It Treason. In his book, Stormer outlined several of the failures of American presidents from F.D.R. through to J.F.K. in dealing with the Communist agenda to conquer the United States. Stormer had carefully and painstakingly assembled facts from a great number of U.S. Congressional investigations into communism. He had also researched quite a few books that had been written regarding the communist conspiracy to destroy America. The alarming point that Stormer made was his exposure of the Leftist elitists who had conditioned the American citizens to ignore the moral decay of the nation.
