And so 9-11.
Remember Jimmy Breslin -- the wreath at the funeral of the victim of a mob hit and its banner, which reads, "We're sorry it had to come to this."
Peter: Welcome, brother. I've missed the sight of your voice. You have a home with us.
I'll agree with you that JFK and the Unspeakable is the most important JFK assassination-related volume in recent years. But brother Douglass's interpretation of Chicago is naive (as is his interpretation of the JFK hit as a justification for an invasion of Cuba).
Chicago was theater, pure and simple.
Cuba and the Castros, then and now, are far more valuable to the unspeakable powers-that-be in place than overturned.
Which, of course, does not diminish Douglass and his towering achievement.
Heady stuff, ey?
I'm so proud of what we've made happen on this forum.
Thanks for the welcome. I was making a visit to the 'Heimat' and will report soon about some of my observations after having being outside for 7.5 years! (Now outside again looking in - had some interesting interactions with TSA et al.). I think in considering the Chicago v. Dallas 'plots' one needs to also consider those that were also 'run' in FL - even the SS agents spying on JFK in the White House from nearby. To a great extent they were all theatre - even (especially?) Dallas. However, I think they all were to varying degrees seen as opportunities to be seized upon, if available. There was also a backup in Dallas at the Trade Mart and no doubt other cities lined up should Dallas 'fail'. All that said, it could be you are correct that Chicago was not a major attempt, as was Dallas, and more a diversion or warning [or test]...time will tell. We certainly agree 100% that Cuba/Castro and other virtual enemies [OBL et al.] are of greater value to the 'unspeakable' when not removed - and the theatre of attempted removal is just that...theatre [of the political absurd].
