What happened to Reitzes, anyway? Some of the articles he wrote in the 1990s were pretty good. Did he undergo a miraculous conversion lol?
In any case, I think that the events in New Orleans involved people at the low end of the plot - logistics people, and setting up the patsy - not the chief organizers. These low-level people (CIA, mob, Latin Americans, ex-FBI "private security" groups, right-wingers) can conceivably be tied in with Texas oilmen (as we see later with Iran-Contra and the Bush family), or the Pentagon (Operation Northwoods), or international drug trafficking/gun-running, or Nazi war criminals, or all of them. The international flavor of many of these plots (RFK assassination) makes it hard to untangle them.
Garrison himself often put out different public statements about who was ultimately responsible - sometimes blaming Nazis; or 1/1968 in Ramparts, Garrison was quoted as saying, "Who appointed Ramsey Clark, who has done his best to torpedo the investigation of the case? Who controls the CIA? Who controls the FBI?...The one man who has profited most from the assassination - your friendly President, Lyndon Johnson." But then he also told Playboy in 1967 that "our Government is the CIA and the Pentagon".
