The Chicago Plot: A Hypothesis

[Vasilios Vazakas]

And, I think, a brilliant one.

The False Sponors you catalog were "in" it to the degree that they could A) sow confusion among pre- and post-attack investigators (of all stripes), and B) provide specific, limited logistical support.

We are in agreement, I think, that these individuals/groups had absolutely NO IDEA of the deep conspiracy structure and their TRUE roles in it.

As for your speculation regarding Asian-based operatives in the plot, know that you've ventured into very intriguing terra incognita. If you haven't already done so, look at Pakse Base (southern Laos), a certain "Jim," the confusion regarding a "Major Lopez," and the controversy surrounding Humberto Castillo-Leon.

There is a good chance that most, if not all, of the above was created to lead "serious" researchers off on a dead-end trail. No matter how you cut it, these are under-researched leads.

Yes we agree on these, they did not have a clue what happened and some very powerful invididuals outside the US Government (with connections inside the Government and certainly not the Mafia) hijacked their operation, and left the army, the CIA as an organization and the secret service, at least some of them, wondering what the hell happened. The army that was running the war games during 911 felt the same chilling emotion when everything went wrong. And don't forget London 7-7 when an anti-terrorist exercice was run during the metro attacks. A pattern is emerging. You don't need many conspirators just a few in key positions, able to manipulate the rest.
I am going to check the references regarding Laos and major Lopez. I still think that it was not the CIA division concerned with Cuba inolved in this, but the ones from the far east, associated perhaps with Helliwell.
Regarding Oswald. People wonder if he was CIA or FBI informant, i would say he was used by both CIA Counterintelligence and FBI's division 5 since Angleton was cooperating with Sullivan. I would doubted that he was an informant for CI/SIG directly, most likely he was working for the Domestic Operations Division.
