I remember my parents distributing boxes of “Non Dare Call it Treason”, “A Choice, not an Echo”, and “The Gravediggers”. Standard Goldwater movement literature.
Ping.
Thanks! I was looking for it earlier.
I have about a dozen copies and I randomly give one occasionally to a ‘friend’...find them in the bookstores that carry old and out-of-print books.
JFK is living with Elvis in some retirement home in Texas.
Treason doth never prosper, what’s the reason?
For if it prosper, none dare call it treason.
— John Harington, 1618
I read it and have been using the title a lot in Twitter and Fr posts
In 1968 John Stormer wrote a sequel, “None Dare Call It Conspiracy” which was a more reasoned & mature look at the forces threatening our social order. I read it that year and his description of leftist infiltration of the churches rings especially true to this day. Recalling that chaotic year, I have concluded that Stormer was substantially correct.
I remember about 1968, either STAR or ENQUIRER had a front page article, with photos shot through a telescope lens, of the Onassis compound showing a man in a wheelchair with a bandage on his head. It was stated that in could be John Kennedy after the shooting.
It was stated that not long after those photos were taken, that a burial at sea from the Onassis yacht had taken place and the man was seen no more.
I’ll have to see it to believe it about any such reference to JFK.... honestly, this was big with Goldwater supporters, I don’t think they had any “kook” stuff, not like JFK still being alive.
I use to listen to Freedom Talks with Melvin Munn, sort of similar I’d think and I still have a book called Fabians fight freedom, used copies are at amazon.
My parents bought at least a dozen copies and distributed them to friends. I still have one in my library.
The above is an example of how stupid rumors/stories/lies are enhanced to become whopping lies. SHEESH!
I also read it back in the 1960’s. I don’t remember any references to JFK conspiracy theories.
This book, plus “death of a nation” made an impact on me politically. And of course Orwell’s 1984......
>>He wrote a very famous book. It’s sort of ‘60s Red Scare type of stuff. Came out in 1964.
I read it when I took a class that was mandatory for graduation from Florida schools in the 1970s: Americanism vs Communism. That class helped me decide to join the Navy to serve on ballistic missile submarines.
The history of the past decade has shown us that the “Red Scare” of the 60’s was a legitimate concern.
Do any of you remember the name of the book about the United Nations that came out about the same time? It was about the evils of the UN and I got it at a JBS meeting. I gave an oral book report in High School about it. Teacher was not impressed. :-)
Cool. I’ll check it out. RIP patriot.
There was another one called “None Dare Call It Treason - 25 Years Later” that went back and revisited the events in the first book to illustrate how much actually happened.
I have a 1964 15th printing of the book. I recommend reading it (it’s been a while since I read it). I got it at a used book store years ago.
