This Idea was first noticed in Neal Stephenson's great novel Cryptonomicon (paperback, hardcover, or abridged audio).

What is the H.E.A.P.? It is a collection of files and information on building defensive weapons in your home workshop and military tactics, including guerilla warfare. Not to mention what we'll call "freedom philosophy". The purpose of this educational program is to give you information to make a future holocaust impossible. In this version of the H.E.A.P., it is books telling you how to do that. So, here they are:

At least 349 citizens, immigrants, and permanent residents of the United States had a covert relationship with Soviet intelligence agencies, among them Harry White (assistant secretary of the treasury in FDR's administration and the Communists' highest-ranking asset) and State Department official Alger Hiss, whose association with the Soviets had been hotly debated since the moment he was first publicly accused in 1948." -- from a review in the Arizona Republic
