The idea suggested is that Thomas Arthur Vallee could not have been a patsy because he was not a Communist.
Well, IMO opinion there had to be at least one backup patsy, whether it be in Chicago, Tampa or Dallas. What if Oswald had called in sick to the TSBD on 11-22-62? What if he had been in a car accident on the way to work? What if he had chickened out (a real possibility IMO)?
Oswald had apparently put in an appearance with the Assistant Dean of Students at (my alma mater) the U of Illinois in 1962 or 1963. Many think this was to connect him to the Chicago plot. And I actually believe that Joseph Milteer was the backup patsy or one of the backup patsies in Dallas on 11-22-63.
Oswald could have gone to Mexico City in September, 1963. But if he were not in the TSBD on 11-22-63, nobody would have ever known about it.
J Edgar Hoover put out a warning to FBI offices in October, 1963 saying that right-wing extremists were trying to kill Kennedy in Dallas. In the recently released JFK files, Hoover asked the FBI to locate the whereabouts of the American Nazi Party on 11-22-63 after the assassination took place. This could have been part of the potential blame of right-wing extremists if Oswald would have cut and ran.
The tie-in of Oswald to the Communist party was very thin. It was a pretense that nobody ever really believed. Another patsy could have been found with Communist literature in his pocket, or could have been fingered by Yuri Nosenko or somebody like that.
Or the assassination could have been blamed on a right-wing fringe group. Look at Oklahoma City and Timothy McVeigh. Nobody ever really asked who McVeigh had ties to. Some people say he was tied to terrorists in the Philippines. There was really no investigation about any of that. And look at the anthrax attacks. The door was just shut without further ado.
I believe that the Chicago plot was not a fake. I don't think the Tampa plot was a fake. And if the Dallas plot did not come off, there would just have been another a week or two later. The Kennedy's (in some respects) almost had a death-wish and were reckless and careless about security to a ridiculous degree. Both JFK and RFK made things very easy for their assassins.
