Who created the Deep State and why is he mythologized as a Peacemaker?

David Kinzer's book The Brothers chronicles the rise of the CIA and the Eisenhower Doctrine, as the muscle and brain of the Deep State, in the ascent of Allen Dulles as the man who transformed the CIA from an intelligence agency into an independent paramilitary force and his brother John, who became Secretary of State and designed the Cold War strategy of containment of Communism with both covert operations to overthrow neutral nations and the nuclear buildup to bully the China and the USSR, neither of which, historians have now revealed, was a threat to the US but rather to the dream of world domination by the Masters of the Universe located on Wall Street, which is where the Dulles brothers both came from.

Part I: The nuclear build-up under Eisenhower

Eisenhower served from 1953 to 1961. During this time, the US traded conventional weapons for nuclear. NTI reports: "When the mega tonnage or explosive power of the U.S. arsenal peaked in 1960, it was equivalent to 1,366,000 Hiroshima-sized bombs (the "Little Boy" bomb dropped on Hiroshima had a yield of 15 kilotons or 15,000 tons of TNT equivalents). Today's operational stockpile, although significantly smaller, contains the explosive equivalent of more than 91,500 Hiroshima-sized bombs."

The nuclear arsenal that Eisenhower created, under the guise of "reducing defense spending" was 150 times more lethal than today's arsenal, which was recently reduced by the Clinton/Obama new Start Treaty with Russia.

"A 2014 report published in the journal Earth's Future found that even a regional war of 100 nuclear detonations would produce 5 teragrams of black soot (that's 5,000,000,000 kg!) that would rise up to Earth's stratosphere and block sunlight. This would produce a sudden drop in global temperatures that could last longer than 25 years and temporarily destroy much of the Earth's protective ozone layer. This could also cause as much as an 80% increase in UV radiation on Earth's surface and destroy both land and sea-based ecosystems, potentially leading to global nuclear famine."

Under Eisenhower's buildup, the US had nearly 30,000 operational nukes, the number needed to make the earth uninhabitable 300 times. This monster of destruction was then used for nuclear blackmail, Eisenhower's strategy of threatening Russia and China to submit to US demands (wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_arms_race).

In those countries where nuclear blackmail was not strategically viable, the Eisenhower Doctrine, which was in essence a plan for US global domination, used the CIA to conduct assassinations, economic sabotage, and to fund proxy armies to take down elected leaders, neutral regimes, and independent governments, in the process causing millions of deaths.

Millercenter.org reports: "Eisenhower brought a "New Look" to U.S. national security policy in 1953. The main elements of the New Look were: (1) maintaining the vitality of the U.S. economy while still building sufficient strength to prosecute the Cold War; (2) relying on nuclear weapons to deter Communist aggression or, if necessary, to fight a war; (3) using the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to carry out secret or covert actions against governments or leaders "directly or indirectly responsive to Soviet control"; and (4) strengthening allies and winning the friendship of nonaligned governments.
