Bowers - A Hypothesis

[Charles Drago]

The way these people work is they do a personality profile of their target. If they thought Bowers was the "all business" authority-respecting, straight-shooter he was said to be by his acquaintances, they might take the risk that a finger-chopping might be good enough to shut him up. This had to be done very carefully. The modus operandi of the perpetrators was to camp-out at the gate-keeping end. You can tell who they were by their methods. Typically they used legal means by which to prevent evidence. The Warren Commission being the all-encompassing control apparatus.

In my opinion Bowers was doomed from the start. He saw the whole thing and stood to reveal the operation. Like DeMohrenschildt he was too honest and would have eventually been questioned by Assassination researchers. When the tide was in favor enough of being safe to talk - like it is now, Bowers would have most likely talked. Eventually he would have gotten to a forum where he had to account for what he said to Degough and Holland.

I personally think Bowers got on the short list when the highly intelligent 'literary' planners saw his "could not say then nor could I say now" and knew people would figure it out. Especially with a chopped-finger.

Maybe. I don't know. But there seems, at least to me, to be too many intermediate steps here. Tender mercies were in short supply in Dallas.

Finger-cutting is a strictly mafia form of intimidation.

That's quite a broad statement -- one in need of documentation. The Yakuza, for instance, cut off their own fingers as part of a membership ritual.

Again, the form of what we are seeing here is indicative of who the players are. Legal gate-keeping and finger-cutting are forms that are speaking loudly a mob/government alliance - which is exactly the culprits that have been isolated by researchers.

No. Elements of he Mob and elements of the USG worked/work together and no doubt were complicit as Facilitators in the assassination. They are hardly, as your words imply, the only culprits so identified. For example: Might not associates of the originator of the anti-Huk "vampire" tactic have conjured such an action against Bowers.

Further, I draw the inference -- and please correct me if I'm being a dunderhead here -- that you place on the Sponsorship level of the assassination "CIA and the military" and "right-wing elements in positions of power in the US".

If so, we profoundly disagree; I see these suspects as False Sponsors. They are properly situated on the Facilitator level: They are architects, carpenters, and tools, but not the clients who own the property and commissioned the project.

While it is important to get the classification of perpetrators correct I think we are well past the point of incriminating evidence here as far as general criminal complicity.

The only ways to effect justice in this case, at this late date, are to expose the structure of the plot and, as a consequence, to indicate that while most of the human Sponsors and Facilitators of the JFK hit are beyond earthly justice, the systems they owned and served exist and remain in power.

In short I think the Egyptians have proven you get more done in the streets than the china shops. Something our founding fathers didn't shy from.

Nor should we.
