Oliver Kenneth Goff
Oliver Kenneth Goff claimed to be a former member of the Communist Party [1936-1939] turned Christian. In 1939 he volunteered to give testimony before the House Un-American Activities Committee about supposed firsthand knowledge of a major Communist conspiracy to take over America. This began a long career of giving testimony before different government bodies and public speaking engagements on the ‘Red Menace.’ In hindsight it is obvious that much of what Goff claimed could not have been true, but he was considered ‘the’ expert by many government officials for the next several decades.
