The Chicago Plot: A Hypothesis

[Peter Lemkin]

Ok Charles,this brings me to the recent showing on BO Radio of Fletcher Prouty.John Judge asks him how a patsy is set up.Prouty gives his explanation,and then ends by saying,"Then they bring in the mechanics from overseas".

I discussed this specific point with Prouty in person a few times. He was adamant [as if he either knew, or knew that it was SOP to do so....he wouldn't say which] that the gunman were the best available and had come and returned to SEA...he didn't specify which country...but if you think of it..at that time the USA had US trained [or other friendly intel agency-trained] operatives in SEA. He insisted that they were on planes and returning by the time Oswald was being booked. He said they lived in special compounds under false names and false pretenses. Further, he said when they arrived in Dallas and the Plaza they would have been informed who would be their communications persons, spotters, guards, drivers, cover, et al. For the most part these would be persons they would recognize from past operations, even if not given their names in advance...and on any op, everyone is using false nommes de jour and passwords de jour. So locals, as well as USA-based mechanics would also have been in the mix. I think it is also obvious, that the Plaza was chock full [overfilled] with operatives who were NOT operative that day....to forever confuse both the investigation authorities [and keep their mouths shut], as well as any would be amateur Sherlock Holmes'.
