While Myra's comment on Lee H.O. being sheep-dipped as a communist [when in fact he seems to have been middle-of-the-road but controlled by right-wingers] that that would add to the legend of Castro/Communists having been behind the Dallas Plot is correct, I find no problem with Vallee having being sheep-dipped toward the 'right'. So were [more recently] McVeigh, the Waco 'crowd', Manson, and others. While a legend and/or sheep-dipping can serve several purposes, the primary/crucial one is to disguise the identity of the real powers and persons behind the events about to unfold.
Great points Peter.
I tend to forget about McVeigh when looking at the big picture. In fact, while I have vague suspicions that McVeigh was something of a patsy in the Oklahoma bombing (perhaps he was involved but manipulated), and while I doubt that a pile of fertilizer can do that kind of damage to a building (overlap with 911?), I have no idea how it fits into the overall pattern.
Does anyone feel that they understand what really happened with Oklahoma? The feds sure were in a hurry to execute McVeigh.
