      Curious fact: by 1957, American Communist Party down to less than 10,000 members, of whom 1,500 (15%) were FBI agents.

      FBI's war on pathetic CPUSA was model for its current handling of domestic terrorism (i.e. heavy element of entrapment/infiltration).

          Reminds me of our current "secrecy" system... when 3 million people know it, is it a secret or a ruling class?

          As far as I'm aware, never been an SEC prosecution of using inside information. 3 million people now, extrapolated back forever.

          Remember in America that anything worth reacting to is worth overreacting to.

          If the domestic terrorists are the KKK/Nazis/white nationalists, the difference is that many FBI agents (secretly) sympathize with them

          But domestic terrorism by whom? Not skinheads, neo-Nazies, anti-abortion extremists....

          There's apocryphal story whenever FBI faced budget cuts Hoover would send more agents to infiltrate CPUSA & say "communism is rising!"

          Cold War joke: CPUSA so infiltrated by FBI & CIA so infiltrated by KGB that USA would be saved if it had a communist revolution.
