You are precisely on-target (pardon the expression).

Your "bit players" and "core group" constructions also may be written (with, if you'll permit me, added refinement) as "false sponsors" and "sponsors." See my earliest posts regarding a working tri-partite (with sub-divisions) model for the JFK assassination conspiracy structure -- an informed hypothesis originally developed by George Michael Evica and expanded upon by yours truly.

Yes, false sponsors and sponsors (and mechanics. etc.) might be better terms. I read some of your earlier posts, having come to the same view independently, that the cabal was trans-East/West.

I believe the plot to kill Kennedy was planned from the very outset as a narrative plot by a small group of OSS veterans with literary pretensions, in the CIA fiction-is-stranger-than-truth/fiction-prefigures-reality school of thought. The task of carrying out the plot was conducted as research for a novel would be, but without much of a paper trail and through oral contact with a large number of false sponsors and theoreticians.

I notice you are from Providence Plantations. I believe the Phillips Institute at Andover Prep is named after a Providence family Unfortunate that it was taken over by the Marshes or Mabushes or whomever.
