What would they have done if it had rained?

[Peter Lemkin]

I also strongly suspect that LHO was the most perfect patsy available as space and time intersected in Dallas on November 22, 1963.

Could the event have happened any other way? At any other time? In any other place? With any other cast of characters?

Could the event not have happened?

I'd say yes they easily could have done it elsewhere, with other persons [some the same], in somewhat different ways [likely similarly] and were likely well into planning at known places JFK would 'show' both before or after Dallas. [I do not know and can't prove, but suspect that Dallas was the preferred place, but not the ONLY place.]

The only no would be could the event [in any form/place] not have happened.
They wanted him DEAD and out of THEIR way, in order to CONTROL America alone, from behind the 'curtain'....without JFK's or the People's wishes in their way. JFK was increasingly getting out of their control, and in their minds 'had to go'...and be made an example of! [which most of the Public might have missed - but none of the politicos would have, and still do not miss to this day!]

If any public execution failed and it got too close to the next election or some other decisive deadline they worried about [there were many, but we don't know their priority for those who 'gave the nod'], there were SS agents with secret but direct line of sight into the living quarters areas of the White House, and could have used this to pull off an assassination.
