On the Staying Power of Disinformation: White Windbreaker Man ID'd?

[Myra Bronstein]

Myra,

Yes, I think it was Felipe Vidal Santiago. I also submit that Vidal was the one who instigated the plot that was to ultimately become the operation in Dallas. ...

Thanks again James.
Would you care to expand on your thoughts that Vidal instigated the plot?

Also, to put it in context, where do you believe the CIA and Vidal were in the assassination org chart?

For example, I think the Business Financers and Military/Pentagon types were higher up the planning ladder, leaving the CIA (and their Cuban/Mob/misc hit men) to do the wet work. They were doing the wet work with extreme prejudice but I believe they were tacticians, not deciders or funders.

Your thoughts?

...
In addition, I think that when one is researching DCM, one must factor in his visibility, he proximity to the actual shooting and if he is directing a coordinated crossfire (which I believe he is doing with a series of hand signals) then he would be one very cool customer, one of proven courage in battle and someone the other participants would respect.
...

With Umbrella Man (Roy Hargraves, I believe we're in agreement about him) relaying Vidal's signals with the umbrella?

...
In 1963, where the world of anti-Castro politics was fractured and embittered, there was only 2 men who had all the boxes ticked. Vidal was one of them.
...

And who was the second man?

...BTW, this image below has never before been published. It is Vidal as a very young Naval officer.

Great find.
