As we have documented this fact in locations published earlier, the turn in direction of pathway, away from President Franklin Roosevelt’s leadership, toward the catastrophe which is our nation’s terrible condition today, was begun as part of an operation in which the later head of our Central Intelligence Agency, John Foster Dulles’ brother Allen, played a key role, toward the close of World War II. This is a role he played together, and over the later decades of his life, with accomplices, including his James Jesus Angleton.
