Albert,
So many elements of this plot predate your preferred starting point.
But that's not my main objection.
I'd ask you to think about the way you're thinking about the CIA -- which is as a monolithic entity and a force unto itself, rather than as an ideologically divided mechanical subsystem of a larger power structure.
My hypotheses threads are the better for your participation. But in this case, and in my judgement, you're off base.
