Stan,
As a student of deep politics I can appreciate your premise. But as a dramatist, I'm not sure I buy the scene you've written.
LBJ would have been approached by someone he feared and acknowledged to be a representative of the entities that could order the assassination to take place. Was Dulles the messenger? One of the messengers? Perhaps. Was Dulles a Sponsor of the assassination? I think not.
Was "Rockefeller" a Sponsor? I suspect so -- but "Rockefeller" needs to be defined by you within the context of your charge. Do you mean Nelson? David? Both? Do you use "Rockefeller" as a term referring to the American elite? An international elite of which the Rockefeller family was a part?
I do not accept the JFK assassination as being sponsored by any one nation, but rather by a supra-national force of interests for which the Cold War, like so many others, was just a chess piece in an almost incomprehensibly larger and older ongoing game. JFK was both Knight and Bishop, and both black and red pieces were aligned against him.
Much as a chess game can be managed as a dramatic construct, the JFK assassination conspiracy was written as drama. Accordingly, we must look to the literary cliques within the civilian and military intelligence services which were used to facilitate the operation. In the U.S. there were the dark poet Angleton, the pulp novelist Hunt, the onanistic wordsmith Phillips, and to a lesser degree Lansdale, who put the "mad" in Madison Avenue.
Thus what we have here is a "plot" in more than one sense of the word.
I'd like you to consider this: Resolved that even if JFK had not been perceived as a serious threat to the elite, the time had come to execute an American president and remove a Soviet premier so as to remind generations of successors around the globe that they are simply pieces on a board -- pieces with no real power to manage or change the game.
And if my chess/drama metaphor holds, then understand that Fischer and Spassky were on the same side.
I should add, Stan, that I truly appreciate and learn from your posts here.

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.
