Allen "served" 8 potuses, from Wilson to Kennedy. I quote served because this mf did whatever he wanted, no matter what agenda some president had.

Its the most insane story Ive ever read. Strongly recommend you read this book. It narrates the birth of the deep state, and in a sense the end of the American republic.

the drummer of the Police grew up in Syria and Lebanon with a Pakistani nanny thinking his father was an oil consultant, instead of the elite spy he was in fact

lol

was just reading a chapter about the very early cold war. dulles learned about some quaker lib who had a job offer to join faculty in prague.

guy was not connected to intelligence at all, was just some dude.

dulles planted seeds with the soviets that this guy was a major spy.

guy shows up in prague, immediately detained, tortured, held for YEARS. The dude's brother, wife, and daughter all went to eastern europe to find him. they all got nabbed, tortured, sent to siberia, etc.

it was all just a game to dulles, who wanted stalin worried and overreacting to fake news.

the guy actually knew dulles as a kind of acquaintance and just got his whole family's life wrecked.

Dulles was a master politician as well-- he ran the Council on Foreign Affairs, influencing America's best minds

fun part about the book is that I constantly vacillate between moral judgments on him

Con: He was clearly psychopathic, an actual serial killer. Directly causing torture and murder didn't seem to provoke the slightest qualms. He would have people killed for no good reason at all. He probably did more than any American to create our current state of government (more than FDR even), in which democracy is total fraud and there is a shadow government of oligarchs running the globe. Concepts like "the will of the people" did not even merit consideration to him.

Pro: He may have been an early understander that democracy was shit and the world really runs on an aristocratic elite making decisions. Nearly alone in the FDR administration, he realized that the real enemy was the Soviets and the US needed to retain strong Nazis running Germany and Europe. He did everything he could to protect former Nazis who were competent and in the "club". He was pragmatic at a time when shitlib progressives were fully committed to some idealistic morality where you just kill all the "bad guys" and replace them with anyone else who can surely do the job.

He really was the embodiment of XO BIGLAW partner, of which he is probably the most consequential in history

havent got to the kennedy stuff yet, but they tease it in the prologue describing how, even after being technically out of the CIA in November 1963, his home saw a flurry of spook visits in the weeks leading up to the shooting, and the day of the killing he was, weird, chilling at a CIA safehouse in virginia where he had no business being.

so what's in the 500 pages that by law must be released but no POTUS obeys the law because the CIA keeps talking the POTUS out of obeying the law?

book is good but the major flaw is the author has a huge fucking blind spot for the kennedy family. thinks they're basically all saints who wanted to do the right thing but just got duped by the evil cia/deep state. the deep state is in fact evil but the whole kenendy clan were scum too.

Best book on how evil and deep state the CIA is. There's another recent book or two that are limited hangouts undoubtedly sponsored by the CIA
