The Cover-Up: How Was Movement from Phase I to Phase II Justified?

[David Josephs]

I created this thread to solicit answers to the following question:

How were the most powerful people in and around government who, innocent of any involvement in the conspiracy, were told and accepted as being true what today we call the Phase I story, mollified when they asked (and I believe many of them did), "If we go along with this cover-up of Cuban and Soviet complicity for the greater good, how and when will the guilty Cuban and Soviet parties be punished?"


David Josephs responds by posing a question I didn't ask:

"Who was aware of this Phase 1 story?"


Don't get me wrong: David's is an interesting question -- one worthy of its own thread. But like so many other responses this thread has generated to date, it contributes nothing of value to the effort to answer my original query.

I beg to differ Charles...

"the most powerful PEOPLE in and around government"... "were told and accepted as being true"

Until you NAME who you are referring to THEY are just some faceless pronouns.... and there is no way to determine when/how Phase 1 becomes Phasse 2 for THESE PEOPLE (your specific request in the statement of your question)...

So I went ahead and looked at WHO these people YOU are referring to, ARE...

"If WE go along with the cover-up...."

Charles, who is WE? and how can NOT DEFINING the "WE" be instrumental in answering your question about "THEM" and their being "mollified"?
Damn Charles... why must everything I post or ask be met with "contributes nothing of value" from you every time? are you truly that reluctant to explain yourself and your pronoun filled "question"?

According to what I found... the only WE who would even KNOW about Phase 1 being false were in the CIA, Hoover and LBJ... everyone else starting in DALLAS was already making the assumption that OSWALD was part of a commie plot....

Hoover describes the OSWALD IMPERSONATOR as a "SECOND MAN DOWN THERE"... and is not sure how THEY fit into the assassination... and says so in his letter to Sr Staff.

WHO at State or Navy knows about Phase 1 as a result of the CIA Cable on the 10th of Oct claiming the man down there is LEE HENRY OSWALD?
and prior to the FBI report being released, WHO was saying that it was OSWALD ALONE?


IMO, until you address those questions WE HERE cannot determine who knew what and when....


Finally CD, please name someone who actually would be concerned with bringing the guilty Cuban/Soviet parties to Justice... WHO are you talking about..
Otherwise your entire question remains vague and impossible to address with any accuracy other than SPECULATION... which we all know is frowned upon...
