Allen Dulles, a partner at the Wall Street law firm...

Editor's note: ...Sullivan and Cromwell, served as the Office of Strategic Services station chief in Bern, Switzerland, during World War II, where he gathered critical intelligence on Nazi activities and helped negotiate the early German surrender in Italy through Operation Sunrise in 1945. After returning to the United States and briefly resuming his legal career, Dulles became a key figure in shaping the postwar intelligence apparatus, contributing to assessments that influenced the Central Intelligence Agency established by the National Security Act of 1947 signed by President Truman. He joined the CIA in 1950, rose to deputy director in 1951, and served as its first civilian director from 1953 to 1961. Sullivan and Cromwell had represented German industrial clients before the war, and Dulles leveraged international networks in his intelligence work, but the firm did not directly establish the CIA.

Editor's note: Operation Paperclip, the U.S. military program that recruited over 1,600 German scientists and technicians after 1945, operated primarily under Joint Intelligence Objectives Agency oversight with some broader intelligence involvement, including later CIA use of expertise, though direct operational ties to Dulles or the law firm Sullivan and Cromwell remain indirect through postwar asset handling rather than firm administration. As a former CIA Director and member of the Warren Commission appointed by President Lyndon Johnson, Allen Dulles was well aware of and directly involved in the official investigation into the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Project MKUltra was a CIA mind-control and human experimentation program officially approved by Director Allen Dulles in 1953 and run primarily out of the United States through the 1950s and 1960s. While it did not originate as a German program, it drew direct inspiration and some personnel from Nazi concentration camp experiments (such as mescaline and interrogation studies at Dachau), with certain former Nazi doctors and scientists recruited via Operation Paperclip contributing expertise to early U.S. efforts in this area.

Well, Allen, it appears we have moved into the age of the internet. It isn't hard to imagine what people today are thinking while standing over your gravestone pondering your skeletal remains at the Green Mount Cemetery in Baltimore:

Apparently, despite Eisenhower's warning, no one was "guarding" except Lee Harvey Oswald:

Lee Harvey Oswald was lured into thinking he was there to warn ("guarding") President Kennedy:
