From what I have read in Edwin Blacks article in the Chicago Independent and JFK and the Unspeakable, the attempt in Chicago does not appear to have been a charade. You had four Cubans with high powered rifles and perhaps an even better patsy then Oswald because Vallee appears to have had pyschological problems and was a John Birch Society member who had been quite critical of Kennedy.
The problem here is mine.
I have neither the time nor the constitution to go over old ground. I wish I had the gifts of my mentor, but I don't.
I say with respect that you need to hone your deep political analysis skillset. The argument for Chicago-as-charade has been made powerfully -- and, admittedly, by me -- elsewhere on this blog. I urge you to read the "charade" argument before you reach conclusions.
I pray that my mind remains open. I pray that yours opens.

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
