Review
No one is better qualified to discuss the threat to this nation from communism. You will be alarmed, you will be informed and you'll be glad you heard him (W. Cleon Skousen).
-- President Ronald Reagan, United States President
"I went back and I read 'The Naked Communist' and at the end of that Skousen predicted someday soon you won't be able to find the truth in schools or in libraries or anywhere else because it won't be in print anymore. So you must collect those books. It's an idea I read from Cleon Skousen from his book in the 1950s, 'The Naked Communist,' and where he talked about someday the history of this country's going to be lost because it's going to be hijacked by intellectuals and communists and everything else. And I think we're there."
--Glenn Beck, Host of the "Glenn Beck Show"
"I feel certain that your efforts on this important subject (communism) will receive widespread attention and consideration."
--J. Edgar Hoover, Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation
"The Naked Communist lays out the whole progressive plan. It is unbelievable how fast it has been achieved."
--Dr. Ben Carson, The Sean Hannity Show,May 23, 2014
We believe in a moral code. Communism denies innate right or wrong. As W. Cleon Skousen has said in his timely book, The Naked Communist: The communist 'has convinced himself that nothing is evil which answers the call of expediency.' This is a most damnable doctrine. People who truly accept such a philosophy have neither conscience nor honor. Force, trickery, lies, broken promises are wholly justified."
-- Ezra Taft Benson, United States Secretary of Agriculture under President Dwight D. Eisenhower
