The Dulles brothers should have been hanged for treason.

This was very interesting, since I was unaware of all the CIA meddling. It seems to not have our country's best interests at heart. I also didn't understand how Lumumba died. Are there books about this? I'll look it up Wikipedia. Honestly, all I remember is Dag Hammarkjold's death in the plane crash.

It a powerful subject, and I will get to the next stage in Part 3. There are books about this. The one I use most is Richard Mahoney's JFK Ordeal in Africa.

The CIA only has the oligarchs' interests at heart. Not America's. As for Dag Hammarskjöld...Lisa Pease just did an episode on "That's Enough Outta You" about him. They have a great YT channel btw!

There are books on this. Richard Mahoney's JFK: Ordeal in Africa is one I use. That whole Congo Crisis that Kennedy went through is a powerful subject. I will get to the next stage of it in Part 3.

Fantastic article, Jim! Poor, Lumumba... had no idea the CIA bastards even dissolved him in acid, then burned what remained when they ran out of acid! It sickens me that we still have the "Dulles International Airport" in D.C. I wonder if there's ever been a push to change the name?

I have never been able to figure that out myself. What a disgrace.
