Did CIA Director Allen Dulles Order the Hit on JFK?

Former CIA director Allen Dulles ordered JFK’s assassination because he was a ‘threat to national security’, a new book has claimed.

Journalist David Talbot insists the head of the ‘most potent agency’ during the Cold War wanted the former president ‘removed’ for the ‘good of the country’.

‘In the name of defending the free world from Communist tyranny, they would impose an American reign on the world enforced by nuclear terror and cloak-and-dagger brutality.

‘The Dulles brothers would prove masters at exploiting the anxious state of permanent vigilance that accompanied the Cold War.

He adds: ‘The Allen Dulles story continues to haunt the country. Many of the practices that still provoke bouts of American soul-searching originated during Dulles’s formative rule at the CIA

‘Mind control experimentation, torture, political assassination, extraordinary rendition, mass surveillance of U.S. citizens and foreign allies—these were all widely used tools of the Dulles reign.
