Charles,
I will adhere to my statement that it is not possible to classify Rivera (or certain other suspects) as sponsors, facilitators, mechanics, even, because we do not have the total picture of their activities or responsibilities in the JFK assassination. We do not know all of Rivera's associates or the activities of these associates. In other words, I consider it premature to jump to conclusions and rush to judgment in such classifications at this time.
I would tend to agree with you that Rivera was not in a position to, as you stated in your question: "Did "Rivera" and/or "his friend" comprise or otherwise have the power to bend the supra-national security state to his/their will?" Probably not on his own, but he may have had a hand in the plotting and planning of the event, whch in my understanding, should come under the auspices of a sponsor, since a facilitator is only in a secondary position, as an aide or helper, in this hierarchical triad of organized murderers.
Therefore, to be on the safer side, I wish to urge caution and sagacity here, because premature conclusions may mislead or discourage the search for more information and validation by investigators of the next generation. Like others here, I, too, await more information, some of which is probably stashed away in NARA in classified documents, if not destroyed, or some other information whch may have been already discovered by newer investigators. At this time, I know of only a few who are actively seeking such information on Rivera, but there are many other actors who were also involved in the assassination of whom we know very little, if anything.
I would rather seek and await more information than advance ideas and make assumptions which cannot be confirmed. I have witnessed too much of that in the history of my own scientific field, as well.
