The Chicago Plot: A Hypothesis

[Cliff Varnell]

11/2: JFK's trip to Chicago, IL was cancelled at the last minute due to mortal threats against his life: apart from Thomas Arthur Vallee, Thomas Mosely, and Homer Echevarria, inluding a team of four Cuban gunman, 2 of whom eluded surveillance and escaped....Joseph Noonan, a Chicago office agent, told the HSCA that he "participated directly in surveillance involving TOM MOSELY and HOMER ECHEVARRIA....he and [the] other agents were uneasy that the Cubans might have some ties to the CIA..."

Might these Cubans have been sheep-dipped to look like Castro agents?

Brother Cliff,

It's great to see you here. Hope all is well and the cards are running your way.

To answer your question: Quite likely.

Brother Charles,

It certainly appears as if both the Dallas and Chicago plots set up various contingencies with numerous patsies. The behavior of Jack Lawrence and his brief detention the afternoon of 11/22/63 may have been part of a "right wing conspiracy" frame, a Plan C if you will.

It seems to me that Plan A was to set up a "Castro conspiracy," Oswald or the Chicago Cubans.

Plan B was go with the "lone nut" official scenario.

Plan C was "right wing conspiracy."

I'd speculate that there was even a Plan D, blame it on the mob, and a Plan E, blame it on rogue CIA agents, thus the presence of E. Howard Hunt in Dallas as a back-up patsy.

As for myself, Brother Charles, it's hard to complain when it's 70 degrees outside and a fresh championship banner flies over the local ball yard. :popcorn:
