Charles, I really wish you would reread Black's excellent article.
When you do something like put the word plot in quotes, then you are saying that it was some kind of fake out. Which I really don't think you can do, not with all the material that Black unearthed--and this is many years later.
Now Bill Kelly has done some really good work to update this--linking it to Homer Echeverria. I used to discard the Echeverria story--but that is before i read Black's fine essay. If Bill is right about this then you literally have every piece in place for an assassination plot: the Cuban exiles, the Mob, and the CIA. You have the assassins there, plus the patsy, and the perfect site. A guy code named "Lee" stopped it all.
Now you say that somehow the replica aspect was meant to somehow confuse Dallas. But how? CHicago was covered up almost immediately. The Oswald warning about Dallas--through the Walter telex, is completely separated from his call to the FBI about Chicago. And to assume that somehow JFK was referring to CHicago when he used the word 'it", I mean talk about a stretch! I mean what is the evidence for that?
I urge you and everyone else to reread this piece.
