The Chicago Plot: A Hypothesis

[Bill Kelly]

I don' t understand what this is based upon.

The fact that the whistle was blown on it?

That is pretty flimsy evidence to mount this whole theoretical construct on in my view.

The Chicago plot was clearly designed very similarly to Dallas. Down to a patsy who is some ways was even better than Oswald. Why would they blow it up on purpose?

I agree with Jim on this one, but can still be convinced by Charles if he can answer some questions and continue with his reasoning.

The Chicago plot as investigated by the Secret Service included Valee, who is a prominent character in The Kenendy Detail, as well as James Douglas' JFK & the Unspeakable.

TKD says that Thomas A. Vallee was a member of the John Birch Society, which links him to the same group addressed by the Cuban in Dallas who threatened Kennedy, as well as the student who the DPD CIS informant said threatened JFK.

In addition, the Chicago plot included Homer Echevara, a Cuban who was also working as a Chicago Transit Authority bus driver (as was Ralph Meyer, the son of Ruby acquaintence), and the transfer of a lot of money and a cache of arms.

According to Abe Bolden, the documents on Echevara were falsefied to indicate they were created after the assassination when in fact the investigation occured before Dallas.

And then there's the bit Bolden himself didn't realize was potentially significant, and that was the call from Dallas asking for them to check on a "Hurt" or someone with a similar sounding name, which appears to indicate that they were investigating Oswald's attempt to call someone by that name.

And finally, if the late October mission of the Rex was successful and deposited a team of assassins in Cuba with high powered rifles who were to assassinate Castro, and the Chicago plot was successful on the same day (November 1), the tripple assassinations of JFK in Chicago, Castro in Havana and Diems in Vietnam would certainly appear to have been coordinated like an Al Quada attack.

There's too many aspects of the Chicago plot that makes it significant to discard it as a decoy, deception or ploy designed to confuse, and perhaps the SS advance reports for Chicago that the SS claims were destroyed, may be among the boxes of records preserved by Agent Blaine. So maybe some of the outstanding questions can be answerd by these record.
