12. Here's good book about the shenanigans of the CIA under Allen Dulles.

The book is The Brothers: John Foster Dulles, Allen Dulles, and Their Secret World War,” by Stephen Kinzer. It was truly eye opening what these men did around the world that should have been illegal.

There’s a reason Allen Dulles wanted on the Warren Commission, and that was to hide anything that might link the CIA to Kennedy’s murder. They may have had nothing to do with it. There were certainly many people and groups against Kennedy. My thought has always been that the FBI was complicit with one or more powerful white supremacists who were upset at the direction Kennedy was taking on civil rights and integration.
