David Talbot's book on Allen Dulles is out!

[ucrdem]

I just came across this Democracy Now interview and remember Octafish mentioning that it was in the works. I remember buying Talbot's Brothers in the Denver airport a few years back and reading the entire thing on the flight home. Best JFK book ever. Apparently this is part 2:

A CIA Tie to JFK Assassination? Book on Ex-Director Allen Dulles Questions Agency's Role

OCTOBER 19, 2015

David Talbot, author of "The Devil’s Chessboard: Allen Dulles, the CIA, and the Rise of America’s Secret Government," re-examines what happened in Dallas on November 22, 1963, and looks at John F. Kennedy’s relationship with his former CIA director. "The weekend of Kennedy’s assassination, Allen Dulles is not at home watching television like the rest of America," Talbot said. "He’s at a remote CIA facility, two years after being pushed out of the agency by Kennedy, called The Farm, in northern Virginia, that he used when he was director of the CIA as a kind of an alternate command post." Talbot also asks why the agency has refused to publicly release travel documents of CIA officials who have been identified for having a possible role in Kennedy’s death.

3. John Fugelsang interviewed Talbot about this book last week on his show.

Dulles' story is both fascinating and horrifying at the same time - sounds like an amazing read.

4. Both the Dulles brothers were amoral monsters

who were not all that happy that FDR had the US fighting the Nazis, with whose government and private power-brokers and industrialists they shared many of the same goals and long-term interests. Wall Street, of which the Dulles brothers were the literal personification, for the most part had no real issues with the way the Hitler government went about its business. What's a little genocide in the name of anti-Communism, after all?

Among other things, Allen Dulles spent years keeping information about the nature and extent Holocaust from FDR. As is detailed in this book.

And this book answers the most important questions about any murder investigation: who had motive, opportunity and the means to carry it out, and would they benefit from the victim - JFK - being out of the way?

The answer to every one of those questions is Allen Dulles and his creation, the CIA.

6. Absolutely excellent book, which the Mockingbird media is blacklisting

NY Times and Washington Post for example refuse to review it 'cause it reveals their history (not that it's just in the past) of spreading propaganda for the CIA.

Therefore we need to do everything we can to promote the book.

This book is a must read for anyone who cares about problems in the US, and their genesis.

5. Allen Dulles is Satan, so he makes a good target for someone that wants to make a few bucks

selling a JFK assassination book. Allen Dulles joins a large list of people accused in the assassination. I doubt Oswald realized he would make so many book writers so much money.
