"The overwhelming temptation for the possession of money, wealth,
affluence and power is so great that all your laws, and enforcement
agencies are powerless against your criminal elements, with venal
tendencies in some members of your police departments, and in certain
members of large political organizations, one of them is reported to
be dominated by an underworld leader, and whose friends are appointed
to official positions, when a court witness can be intimidated or
murdered, when the services of a murderer can be ordered or bought, as
per a statement to your senate crime committee that there exists an
underworld nationwide Murder, Inc., when some of your law enforcement
officers, some of their superiors and some politicians associate with
and are friends and partners of criminals, when gangsters who not only
contribute to and are active in political campaigns buy protection, and
carry open shooting and bombing wars on the crowded streets of your
cities in the daytime, and when your most secret government and arms
information is easily obtained by other nations through your traitors
and their spies, you certainly have no law enforcing security."

United States every 18.7 seconds, Paul Shine, assistant F.B.I. agent
in charge at Butte, Mont., told Law Enforcement Institute delegates
today at the University of Idaho, here."
"Shine added that each day 36 persons are slain, 150 robberies take
place and 1,032 burglaries are committed."[31]
"What about the numbers of hushed up, unknown and secret crimes?
"Your overcrowded prisons where you confine your adults and very often
in the same cells mixed with your juvenile offenders are breeding
places not only for many hardened criminals and murderers but also
habitual sex depraved fiends. Many of them become habitual drug
addicts, induced by their fellow prisoners, or by some of their guards
who sell the drugs.
"There is no need for me to detail all crimes and offenses for
material gain; where your Octopus excels in his violent and constant
aggressiveness. Your newspapers every day, everywhere give you
innumerable, criminal deeds and happenings.
