Jim..."plotters" are not under discussion. SPONSORS is the subject.
I agree that people like Ruth Paine were PLOTTERS. I think that even
Charles would deny that she is a SPONSOR.
People keep tossing terms around like they have a universal meaning.
I say that they do not. Charles and George Michael were concerned
with finding THE SPONSOR, the MR. BIG who was behind everything.
I say that this terminology is misleading because by saying LBJ was
a FALSE SPONSOR it clears him of being a conspirator. THAT is unfair.

Now here is a short version of my paradigm:
"As the reader can see, in spite of Bugliosi's persistent denials, we have clearly connected Ferrie, Oswald, Banister and Shaw. And beyond that, here and in Part Two of this series, we have shown how they are all connected to the CIA. (Ferrie himself admitted he was involved in Operation Mongoose. And he trained Bay of Pigs participants at a camp supervised by David Phillips. Davy pgs 28, 31) Finally, we have seen how, on the outside of their activities, lurk CIA mid-level managers like Hunt and Phillips. This is anathema for Reclaiming History of course. Because as I have noted in Part 3 of the series, Phillips-and to a lesser extent Hunt-are also involved with Oswald in Mexico City. (Journalist Tad Szulc wrote that Hunt was at the CIA's Mexico City station right before Oswald, or whoever was impersonating him, was there. Destiny Betrayed p. 383) Further, Phillips confessed to his brother as he was dying that he was in Dallas the day of the assassination. We have this through his brother's son, Shawn Phillips. (Larry Hancock, Someone Would Have Talked, p. 182) Finally, James Angleton prepared a memorandum attempting to supply Howard Hunt with a cover story for him also being in Dallas that day. (The Assassinations, ed. by James DiEugenio and Lisa Pease, p. 195)
In light of all the above, its clear why Bugliosi is in full denial overdrive. Because by persons, actions, and locations i.e. from New Orleans to Mexico City to Dallas, you can now piece together the outline of a conspiracy to kill President Kennedy. And, later on, I will list it step by step."
