The Chicago Plot: A Hypothesis

[Charles Drago]

The reason you cannot compare Florida to Chicago is simple:

There was no Bolden, there was no Black.

Therefore, the facts and documentation are lacking to make any comparison

I adamantly disagree. Even though I'm not certain how and why you're limiting the term "comparisons."

You're citing dissimilarities, Jim, in order to argue against the validity of understanding each phenomenon partly in terms of the other.

Of course the similarities -- the extraordinary, coincidence-confounding, cold cut-deep similarities -- give away the game for which my hypothesis argues.

At least twice on this thread I've acknowledged that the mortadella-like thinness of Chicago in comparison to Dallas as we understand these plots today may indeed be a function of the absence of nearly 50 years of Chicago study such as that we've devoted to Dallas.

Be that as it may, we work with what we have.

At this point in time I cannot move beyond the hypothetical. I'm running on informed, refined instinct -- which can lead, but is insufficient in most cases to stand as "proof."

To reiterate for the purpose of clarity: I see Chicago -- at least -- as a ruse designed to account for anticipated Dallas-related leaks and to provoke "cognitive dissonance" post-attack. That is to say: A FALSE plot designed to be "thwarted" just before Dallas so as to provoke the reaction epitomized by JFK's own, "the Secret Service took care of it" stand-down iteration.

We disagree. So what? God forbid we march in lockstep.

But while we're disagreeing, indulge me and engage in this exercise:

If Chicago were intended to result in an actual assassination attempt, who would have inhabited the Sponsor level of the plot? Who would have been put forward as the equivalents of LBJ/Dallas FALSE Sponsors?

To paraphrase Don Corleone: Chicago was a con. It never could have served as the perfect site for the patsying of False Sponsors. But I didn't know until recently that it was only Dallas all along.
