18 U.S.C. Section 951 and the Non‐Traditional Intelligence Actor Threat from the First World War to the Present Day
The United States has found itself under a subtle, non-violent attack by a rival foreign government. An unprecedented, sustained, and multipronged campaign of activity that does not constitute traditional military force or espionage threatens to exert a stealthy and nonattributable influence upon American attitudes toward international affairs at a moment of global crisis. Our adversary seeks to expand its geographical control and its worldwide influence at the expense of liberal democratic powers. Institutions at the very core of American democracy–the news media, lawfully assembled labor and advocacy organizations, and corporations–are at risk of becoming unwitting tools of this assault.
