is one of the pillars of the CIA. Dulles built up the "rule of men" unaccountable and subversive agency that placed power above oversight and rule of law. He and his brother's (John Foster) toppling of the Shah; and the president of Ecuador because Allen was on the United Fruit Company board that turned that nation and Central America into wage slave plantation states; and then the f'n Bay of Pigs. From my layman's perspective, the CIA's covert exploits and blunders have done America far more harm than good.

The two Dulleses were far from innocent; they turned America into a two-faced international actor. And then came the NSA.

Thank you for your post, Kid.
