The "Fake" Attempt on JFK's Life: Or, Great Minds Think Alike

[Charles Drago]

A plan was hatched to stage a public attempt on JFK's life.

Castro would be the Sponsor patsy.

The purpose of the plan was to allow an uninjured JFK to seize upon this causus belli to retaliate by invading Cuba.

Charles - in this dramatic scenario, was JFK witting or unwitting?

Difficult to say with anything remotely approaching certainty.

My intuition suggests that had this Operation Northwoods-like melodrama been developed and staged, RFK would have been in the know. But it is neither counter-intuitive nor difficult to envision a scenario in which the Kennedy brothers were perceived not to have a need to know.

Plausible deniability. That sort of thing.

Does their exist any direct evidence to support this hypothesis? Not to my knowledge.

But theatrics-turned-deadly in Dallas go far to explain, among other phenomena:

-- The willing stand-down of loyal (non-conspiring) Secret Service agents.

-- The larger "relaxing" of security measures.

-- The initial, exaggerated "terrible sound" heard by so many Dealey Plaza spectators -- as if attention were being drawn to an attack.

-- The multiple observations of "Hispanics" acting suspiciously at the scene.

And of course the two central and most troubling indicators:

-- The painstakingly developed ties of patsy LHO to Cuban intelligence.

-- The post-assassination actions (and non-actions) of a false attack-complicit RFK.
