In reply to the discussion: Salon: "the Warren Commission... was stacked with RFK’s political enemies" [View all]Octafish
(55,745 posts)138. Two Warren Commissioners had extensive ties to NAZI Germany...
These are connections curiously missing from American history and any corporate media mention of the assassination of President Kennedy.
Here's history curiously missing from American textbooks and any mention of the Warren Commission on television and radio: Two of its members were directly responsible for the rise of post-war fascism.
Allen Dulles, as a top official of the OSS and CIA, incorporated NAZI war criminals into the CIA from its founding.
John McCloy, as High Commissioner for Germany, allowed Klaus Barbie and who-knows-who-else to escape justice.
Of course, both men were also barons of Wall Street and Beltway Insiders. We all can see what that means today.
