Reddit reviews The Devil's Chessboard: Allen Dulles, the CIA, and the Rise of America's Secret Government

Und in diesen 70 Jahren sind die bekannten Operationen fast ausschließlich mit negativen Langzeitfolgen für die globale Allgemeinheit in Verbindung zu setzen. Der weitreichendste Schandfleck ist für mich der Coup d'État 1953 im Iran (mithilfe des MI6).

Zur CIA kann ich zwei Bücher empfehlen:

David Talbot - The Devils Chessboard Englisch/Deutsch - Review der CIA

Alfred McCoy - The Politics of Heroin Englisch

Talbot setzt sich viel mit dem Begründer der CIA Allen Dulles außeinander. Der Mann hat eine faszinierende Geschichte und hat sich insbesondere gegen Ende des zweiten Weltkrieges ein Spionageimperium zusammengestellt.

Bei Alfred McCoy geht es hingegen spezifisch um die CIA Verstrickung in den globalen Opiumhandel um Ihre komplett verdeckten Missionen zu finanzieren. Ausgezeichnet recherchiert.

The Devil's Chessboard: Allen Dulles, the CIA, and the Rise of America's Secret Government

Because it shows an undercurrent of nazi-sympathizing cryptofascism that pervaded the US / Western intelligence community from the importation of 1800 ish nazi ss scientists into our milititary research intelligence programs via project paperclip to operation artichoke and the mind control experiments of mkultra. Allen Dulles was the head of OSS which became CIA. It shows how the Dulles brothers used a shell corporation united fruit company to move nazi money around and fund blackops projects; a practice that's still used by todays neocon fascist knights of malta doubleagents in the CIA to sell drugs, launder money, maintain pedo networks and exfiltrate human sex slaves around the planet through international freemasons. (actually not sure if this freemason connection in this particular book, or if it jsut hints at it--I could be thinking of "Essential Mae Brussell: Fascism in America") Dulles was a real bastard, but it's not just him--he started a whole league of bushlings that looked up to him and exalt him as some kind of hero-spy-pirate of the aristocratic elite.

Check out The Devil's Chessboard by David Talbot. An excellent book that looks at Allen Dulles and the CIA and how the dealt with Kennedy.

> Also, there is still to this day no evidence that he was assassinated by someone else other than Lee Harvey Oswald and furthermore there is no evidence as to what some other suspected killer's motive was.

. . . Seriously?

EDIT: should have refreshed before posting, someone beat me to it with even more sources. I was just so shocked to hear such a credulous point of view, in this sub of all places, in 20-freaking-16. Pick up a book, indeed...

I'm currently reading David Talbot's The Devil's Chessboard and, interesting coincidence, the pages I just read the other night claimed the Hitler was vacant, uninterested in sex with women, that he ran almost entirely on instinct, but Mussolini was vivacious, passionate, and very interested in what was going on around him. In the example they gave, Mussolini was almost giddy waiting for a parade.

If you want to go down the rabbit hole - read The Devil's Chessboard.


Post WWII, the US had significant clout. And since it wanted to appear to be "The Good Guy", it could not be "aggressive" in its dealings with 3rd World countries. So the CIA was assigned the business of secretly "Taking Out" World Leaders who did not conform to "US Banking / Oil Interests" (CIA was run by Allen Dulles - Wall Street Lawyer who represented Banking/Oil Interests abroad pre-WWII. His brother, John Foster Dulles (also a Wall Street Lawyer) was Secretary of State = Good Cop / Bad Cop). The CIA staged these "jobs" covertly to appear as "local uprisings" or "Freedom Fighters" or....you guessed it.. "Lone Nuts". The CIA took out "problem" world leaders every year in the 50s - right up to Kennedy. It was business as usual for them.


Kennedy was a problem - He was trying to make "Peace" the goal - not war. He felt that 3rd World countries should be able to control their own local resources (Oil fields, crop production, minerals). US businesses did not agree - because they were getting rich off of other countries resources - see United Fruit

It is all public knowledge now - The CIA never imaged that the "Freedom of Information Act" would ever exist.

This is a great start -- I'd also add

This book seemed far-fetched when it was written, but has held up to further research.

Highly entertaining

Ultimately, I think Allan Dulles is the closest we get to a mastermind behind it all.

I'd suggest something by Gaeton Fonzi , to get his story about Oswald and CIA


Also Rush to Judgement , Plausible Denial and Last Word by Mark Lane.

But JFK and the Unspeakable above is the best analysis of Why They Did It. It's fairly obvious that they covered it up and made a patsy of Oswald, but why take the enormous risk?

Wasn't an official US Conflict. Read the Devil's Chessboard by David Talbot.

This is how I see it. I would add to this that after the Bay of Pigs Kennedy fired Allen Dulles who helped form and was the first director of CIA and a very seriously powerful man. When Kennedy fired him most of the upper echelon of the CIA still reported to him at his Georgetown home and sought out advice if not direction.

Have you heard of this new book? It's supposed to be good. The author is well regarded and from what I understand he basically states that Dulles directed the assignation from his home in D.C.
