In the quote he says he’s talking about the Cold War.

He makes reference to it, but also speaks of some kind of opposition from “around the world” that was working to “expanding its sphere of influence”. He also described this thing as operating in secret, not out in the open. Was Russia operating secretly? (I don’t know much about the Cold War.)

For those of us who lived through it, what he said was blatantly obvious at the time.

Makes sense, I was too young to remember most of it. Still, does his description not strike you as resembling what we see happening in the U.S. today?

There were people that assumed he meant Jews, but they were always going to think he meant that.

Yes they were operating in secret. There are many examples of their infiltration, such as the Cambridge Five.

Ok, I didn’t know that. I was too young still to remember most of it.
