[JFK]

For we are opposed around the world By a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy That relies primarily on covert means For expanding its sphere of influence On infiltration instead of invasion On subversion instead of elections On intimidation instead of free choice On guerrillas by night instead of armies by day
