Joe, to see an earlier version of this, read a book about the deal makers, the Dulles brothers, called "The Brothers" by Stephen Kinzer.  Here's a review: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/book-review-the-brothers-on-john-foster-dulles-and-allen-dulles-by-stephen-kinzer/2013/11/14/a1ddf9ba-3683-11e3-be86-6aeaa439845b_story.html?utm_term=.1c6c8781cd8d   John Foster Dulles was Eisenhower's Secretary of State (just one of the many high level governmental posts he held) and Allen Dulles was head of the CIA.  This is history, Joe, and no tin foil hat story, that started before World War I.
