Allen Dulles

[Tom Scully]

Is there anyone suspected of involvement in JFK's assassination who was better positioned to organize a conspiracy plot and the cover up afterwards?

Dulles reportedly continued to meet regularly with his CIA loyalists after he was fired by Kennedy and spent the weekend of the Kennedy assassination at a farm in Virginia that was used by the CIA.

David Talbot:
Is there a good reason why William Harvey's travel files are still classified? He has been dead since the 1970s.

While it's probable that Dulles used his role on the Warren Commission to help protect the CIA's secrets, it remains largely speculative that he had a role in JFK's assassination. But if it was an inside job, he's one of the few people I could see pulling a plot like that together.

On the afternoon of the assassination, Dulles allegedly returned to his L.I., NY home from a morning engagement in Boston.

"..Listen to this fascinating telephone call in June 1964 between President Lyndon Johnson, Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy and former CIA director Allen Dulles.
In the call, LBJ and RFK prevail upon Dulles to serve as the president’s personal emissary to Mississippi after disappearance of the three civil rights workers."

This makes it quite likely that RFK did indeed recommend Dulles to be on the WC.

Jean,
You have not convinced me that even you believe JFK held Dulles in high regard, or that he was fond of Dulles.

The H/T to me should go instead to Max Holland, who published a transcript of this call in “The Kennedy Assassination Tapes,” which is where I found it.

...Here’s a transcript of part of the call I think is pretty fascinating.

[Starting at minute 7:00]

Dulles: Why did you pick me for this?

RFK: Because I *know* you.

“Anyone who actually believes that the Kennedy’s and Dulles held each other in high regard is mortally naïve or utterly disingenuous.”

QUOTE:

“Allen Dulles handled himself awfully well, with a great deal of dignity,” Robert Kennedy said of the period after the Bay of Pigs, “and never tried to shift the blame. The President was very fond of him, as I was.”

Can always count on Mr. Scully for exemplary, interesting and insightfully detailed research.

Seems like it’s more a rogue element of CIA, like some very angry survivors of BOP operatives who barely managed to float back to Miami Fl and then possibly got involved with the mafia boss who also had plenty of motive since JFK ( allegedly) had him kidnapped and dropped into South American jungle and left for dead.

Where is that photograph showing Dulles entering the white house on November 23, 1963?

An astute assessment, Mr. Mason, they certainly had the Means. Motive and Opportunity to exact revenge. Bunch of lying treasonous cowards shooting an unarmed duly elected representative of the People.

They should have kept their propensity for Coup d'é·tats off US soil. F n clowns!
