“Last night I was reading a book entitled The Emergency State: America’s Pursuit of Absolute Security at All Costs by David Unger. My eyes bulged out when I came across the following sentence: ‘In 1941 Attorney General Francis Biddle, following Roosevelt’s new guidelines, approved FBI wiretapping of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce.’ Leonard E. Read had served as head of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce before he founded FEE in 1946. Why would FDR and his goons want to spy on the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce? They believed that Read was a potential ‘subversive’ and that the Los Angeles Chamber constituted a potential threat to ‘national security.'”
