In 1947 Congress instituted the National Security Act, which allowed the creation of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Dulles established the CIA essentially changing the name of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) and subsuming into the former OSS operation the entire Nazi spy apparatus of Reinhardt Gehlen, Germany's General of Foreign Armies East. Through Gehlen, Dulles inherited an expansive, ready-made spy network already poised against the Soviet Union, ushering in the National Security State we don't understand or love today.
The modern CIA then, is a direct outgrowth of Nazi intelligence--modeled after Gehlen's Nazi spy network, and staffed with many Nazi agents. Consider that Dulles was appointed to the Warren Commission to "investigate" (or squelch) the inquiry into the death of President John Kennedy in 1963. This may have been what accused Oswald killer, Jack Ruby, meant when he said "Nazis" were involved in the assassination. Allen Dulles, however, didn't have any problem with Gehlen's past. "He's on our side," Dulles once said chuckling, "and that's all that matters."
In October 2015, Democracy Now host Amy Goodman interviewed David Talbot, whose book, The Devil's Chessboard: Allen Dulles, the CIA, and the Rise of America's Secret Government, sheds much needed light on the secretive Allen Dulles. Goodman had asked Talbot about Nazis:
DAVID TALBOT: "The Nazis, well, they have a very tight relationship, many Nazi businessmen, with the Dulles brothers. And when Allen Dulles was in Switzerland, supposedly working for our side, the OSS, during the war, he was actually using that to meet with a lot of Nazis and to cut separate deals with them. He did indeed finally cut a separate peace deal with the Nazi forces in Italy against FDR's wishes. FDR had a policy of unconditional surrender. Don't--AMY GOODMAN: "This was Operation Paperclip?"
DAVID TALBOT: "This was Operation Sunrise, was this deal that he made. And then he set up these rat-lines, so-called, where Nazis, leading Nazi war criminals, escaped after the war through the Alps in Switzerland, down into Italy and then overseas to Latin America and even in the United States. One of the key Nazis he saved was Reinhard Gehlen, Hitler's former chief of intelligence, who he installed, Dulles, as head of West German intelligence after the war, a man who should have stood trial at Nuremberg."
Considering that the CIA was getting its information about Russia from the very Nazis who the Russians had defeated during the war--US intelligence assessments of Russia are likely to have been highly biased and perilously skewed in that post-war period of rising tensions during the Cold War. The US had been naively accepting Nazis' characterizations of the Russians as demons--the Russians, our former allies who should have been thanked rather than blamed. They won WW2 after all, at huge cost. Was it really wise to form opinions of Russia and its leaders from "intelligence" delivered by its former enemy?
I suggest this absurd arrangement helps explain much of the incomprehensible and fascistic postwar US policy, official and clandestine, that we've glimpsed with horror over the last 70+ years--the Communist witch hunts of the 1950s; covert mind control experimentation (MK-ULTRA); the 1960s political assassinations of both Kennedy brothers, Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, and Black Panthers Hampton and Clark; the mechanized slaughter of the Vietnam War (the Vietnamese called it the "American War"); the overthrow and murder of democratically elected foreign leaders such as Diem and Allende in the 1970s; the rise of the Corporation as tyrant, and the false flag operations we've heard of and those we haven't. These events had in common the goal of reducing liberty and increasing control in order to institute the "New World Order" that George H.W. Bush bragged would succeed in a speech he delivered on September 11th 1991.
The United States' decades-long irrational hatred and fear of "Communism" and "Communists" can largely be explained as a predictable side-effect of the large-scale importation of Russia-hating, unrepentant Nazis after the war--hundreds of them and their families through Operation Paperclip, which Dulles ran. An influx of these Nazis into positions of high rank and influence in the US national security state, as intentional as it was illegal, allowed known Nazi sympathizers--like Prescott Bush, patriarch of two US presidents--to join forces with the financial architects of Nazism. It explains much regarding pathological postwar US policy and numerous inexplicable events, including assassinations, coups, false flag attacks, and illegal wars.
In a subsequent segment, I will offer more information regarding some famous Nazis and Nazi admirers including Hitler's second-in-command, Martin Bormann, American car maker Henry Ford, aviator Charles Lindbergh, animator Walt Disney, Prescott Bush, and NASA director Wehner Von Braun among others.
