Valkyrie at Dealey Plaza

[Greg Burnham]

No offense, but: What the hell are you talking about? A conspiracy theory?

If I read Vasilios correctly, he is arguing in support of my hypothesis that the Chicago "plot" was created as a Dallas doppelganger to account for leaks originating from the real operation and to create post-assassination confusion/cognitive dissonance.

I think that Vasilios is re-posing the question I originally posed: Knowing what we know of his background, how could Vallee, in the role of patsy in a successfully executed Chicago plot, have been utilized to support what Peter Dale Scott defined in Deep Politics and the Death of JFK as "Phase One" and "Phase Two" of the JFK conspiracy cover-up:

"Phase One put forward the phantom of an international plot, linking Oswald to the USSR, to Cuba, or to both countries together. This phantom was used to invoke the danger of a possible nuclear confrontation, which induced Chief Justice Earl Warren and other political notables to accept Phase Two, the equally false (but less dangerous) hypothesis that Oswald killed the President all by himself. …. [T]he Phase-One story… was first promoted and then defused by the CIA. Michael Beschloss has revealed that, at 9:20 AM on the morning of November 23, CIA Director John McCone briefed the new President. In Beschloss' words: 'The CIA had information on foreign connections to the alleged assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, which suggested to LBJ that Kennedy may have been murdered by an international conspiracy'"

Thanks for the clarification, Charles.

If it is a clarification. We'll have to let Vasilios speak for himself.

I shall wait with bated...err "baited" breath indeed...
