Bernice,
Re your posts #88 and #89, I'm inclined to agree with Palamara's conclusions that the security stripping was achieved by carefully placing both actual operatives, like Roberts, and second stringers, like Kellerman, in such a way that the chain of command was damaged and then usurped when the panic hit home. Contrived chaos to suit the post assassination scenario.
I've got suspicions about Rowley's convenient appointment nine months into Kennedy's Presidency and his close ties to Hoover. Also, Paterni's ties to Angleton, which I have read about elsewhere. For mine, JJA was to all intents and purposes a Mossad operative and there's a monument to him in Israel to prove it. He was instrumental in covering up Israel's nuclear weapons progress until that bombshell became public in December 1960, much to the surprise and annoyance of both the CIA and JFK.
As for the motorcade route changes, I am still of the belief--detailed on another thread--that this was accomplished not by the DPD or the SS but by the Dallas Citizens Council. They sponsored the Dallas leg of the trip and thereby gained control over all arrangements. This is very important because other legs of the trip were deemed political and thus remained under the control of the DNC. Dallas was uniquely different. Two outspoken and powerful members of the Dallas Jewish community controlled the arrangements: Julius Schepps, who held distribution rights for the Bronfman family's Seagram products, and Sam Bloom, PR man and executive director of the Citizen's Council. See Piper's Final Judgement for more details.
Who bore responsibilty for deeming Dallas 'non-political' and thus surrendering control of all arrangemnts to an elite group of wealthy businessmen--instead of the DNC--is an important question. My guess is LBJ.
