NEW YORK (AP) — John A. Stormer, a religious leader and right-wing activist whose self-published Cold War tract "None Dare Call It Treason" became a grassroots sensation in 1964 and a rallying point for the emerging conservative movement, has died at 90.
Stormer died on July 10 after an unspecified year-long illness, according to an obituary posted on the website of the McCoy-Blossom Funeral Home in Troy, Missouri. A spokeswoman for the funeral home confirmed the details from the website. A native of Pennsylvania who moved to Missouri in his 20s, he was chair of the state's Federation of Young Republicans when through his own Liberty Bell Press he released "None Dare Call It Treason." He warned that the U.S. was losing to the Soviet Union and was menaced by a "communist-socialist conspiracy to enslave America."

The Naked Communist by Cleon Skousen, The Unseen Hand by Ralph Epperson, and Global Tyranny by William Jasper are all books I would recommend to read.
I have an original paperback version, it doesn’t mention JFK being alive on the cover.
“The Fearful Master: A Second Look at the United Nations by G. Edward Griffin”
Yes, that was it! Thank you Scott.
It made a lasting impression on me.
I remember reading the Naked Communist, but not the other two. Thx.
I read it when it came out. I was a senior in high school.
Does that means we’re old? I hope not.
Conservative teenagers in the 1960’s?? How crazy is that?
It was truly a remarkable book and you should read it.
Re The Naked Communist” - Howard Fast, who still remained a Communist sympathizer long after he left the Party (but it never Left him).
Also see: “The Web of Subversion: Underground Networks in the U.S. Government” by famed journalist James Burnham, John Day Co, NY, 1954, 1959
and MOST importantly, “Self Destruct: Dismantling America’s Internal Security”, by former ONI officer and counsel for the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee, Sen. Judiciary Committee (which was wiped out by Ted Kennedy and others in the early 1980’s, just about the time of Ted’s secret letter to Andropov - In Paul Kengor’s book’ Dupes”).
Publisher: Arlington House, New Rochelle, NY 1979
#44. Got two titles mixed up. “The Naked Communist” was by Cleon Skousen while Howard Fast wrote “The God That Failed”, another good book that looked at the propaganda power of communism. However, Fast stayed within the Marxist orbit for much of his life, thus proving the old saying about a lot of old commies, “You can take a person out of the Party, but you can’t take the Party out of a person”.
RIP.
It takes all kinds, I guess.
Let’s you and me try to think young conservative.
At least we made it to see Trump elected. That was my first thought when Trump declared-—he’s so great, can it really be that I didn’t have to say all good America First things were in the past and at my age it won’t have time to change, or, can this dream of a Trump as President really have a chance of coming true?
Thank God for Trump.
