In reply to the discussion: After JFK assassination, President Truman put his concerns about CIA in print. [View all]Kid Berwyn
(20,382 posts)30. One secret: the NAZI touch on the Warren Commission.

Curiously missing from American history and any mention of the Warren Commission in corporate media:
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. President Kennedy fired him for lying to his face regarding the Bay of Pigs invasion. John McCloy, as High Commissioner for Germany, allowed Klaus Barbie, Alfred Krupp, eight members of his board, and who-knows-who-else to escape justice. Of course, Dulles and McCloy also were barons of Wall Street and Beltway Insiders, at the heart of the military industrial complex. We all can see what that means for the United States today.

Thanks! Yes, indeed, we have to keep our fascist Nazi war connection in mind as we deal with
