I have pondered about that possiblity in previous posts. I think it is very likely that this might
have happened. That time the intelligence services feared that Castro would retaliate against US officials
as a revenge for the CIA plots to kill him. Imagine if they could pursuade RFK that they needed to conduct Continuity of Government exercises to prepare for such a scenario. Lansdale would have been part of an operation Notrhwoods style. The WHCA along the army and Jack Crichton's civil emergency banker would have controlled the exercise. The doomsday plane was above Dallas at 12.30 communicating operation Silver Dollar. The Secret Service had to be incoroprated in the exercise to relax security (some agents were aware of the real assassination) and maybe the November studies that Palamara wrote about was probably part of the operation.
Dulles was familiar with the Valkyrie plot against Hitler as William Kelly has explained and he was able to turn this Continuity of Government exercise into a real attempt. People like Angleton and Phillips who controlled the Mexico incident were loyal to Dulles.I believe William Kelly has mentioned that Gisevius one of the Valkyrie plotters was working at Dresser industries in 1963.
Could it be possible that Chicago and Tampa were also part of the Continuity of Government exercises?
