The Chicago Plot: A Hypothesis

[Albert Doyle]

Could it be possible that the Chicago plot was one of these security tests and never intended to kill JFK?

1) It could be possible, but it would make no difference once they actually went through with the assassination in Dallas. The problem with your theory is it means Secret Service had a highly sensitive level of security surrounding the president where it would be able to detect such a plot. Which means they would have no excuse for not doing the same in Dallas. Even if Chicago was a planned drill it would still mean that inside operators manipulated Dallas and went for the kill. In effect it makes no difference.

2) The reason why Chicago probably wasn't a test is because Vallee had a perfect head injury patsy profile. He also associated with the Cuban exiles. Neither of these is necessary for a test.

I'm convinced Chicago would have proceeded had the Oswalds been compromised. Douglass shows that Vallee was allowed to roam free right up until the last hour before the cancellation of the trip. Chicago Police Department members who were working for CIA were tracking Vallee and knew about the cancellation from inside sources. Vallee was a patsy and would have been pinned with the assassination had it been given the go. They simply would have said Vallee was being monitored because of his hostility toward Kennedy and then used it, like they did against Oswald, to paint him as an assassin. In other words they would have used their monitoring of Vallee to reinforce the fact he was the assassin. That's why they had CIA's plants in the Chicago police on Vallee so they could control the plot. If you look at the internal workings of this Chicago business it is well beyond test plot at that point. If Chicago was a test then it was a test run for the CIA assassins and not a legitimate test run for Secret Service protection of the president.
