The Chicago Plot: A Hypothesis

[Charles Drago]

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.

Right destination, wrong route.

Chicago was not part of a security (-stripping) test. It was created veneer-thin to provide cover for Dallas-related leaks. Vallee's exiles-association was ABSOLUTELY necessary for the plausibility of the "Secret Service took care of everything" claim in the wake of LHO-related leaks.

I'm convinced Chicago would have proceeded had the Oswalds been compromised.

Not a chance.

Because Saint Douglass says it is so does not make it so.

Compare the Vallee and LHO backgrounds. LHO is the perfect patsy because of his multiple connections to heavily protected operations. Vallee can boast no such background. None. Nada. Bupkis.

Chicago was all width, no depth. Dallas in Kabuki make-up. A feint. Once Chicago was intentionally "blown," the reports of a plot and a patsy meeting the Vallee/LHO superficial profiles could be plausibly dismissed.
