i mean the fact that Allen Dulles was one of the seven commissioners appointed to the Warren Commission should really say it all.

from “The Devil’s Chessboard” (very good read) four years before Dulles died:

That little Kennedy . . . he thought he was a god.”

The words were sharp and wrong, like a curse shattering the civility of the soft evening air. They seemed particularly strange coming from the genial older gentleman strolling by Willie Morris’s side. In fact, they were the only strident remarks that Morris had heard him utter in the past few days, as the graying spymaster regaled his young visitor with a lifetime of covert adventures.

And then the storm passed. The man was himself again—the chatty and amiable Allen Welsh Dulles, a man whose conviviality masked a world of dark secrets.

real pappy bush ‘deluded gunman’ shit, these guys never hid what they did
