Tracy seems to be suggesting that the plotters were farther removed from foreign policy decisions than the "Establishment." That phrase (when capitalized) usually refers to moneyed interests centered in the northeastern part of the US, commonly believed to control a) the economy and b) the political process. Do you then agree Tracy, that the plotters were military? Or have I misunderstood the use of the word establishment in this context?
Yes, my opinion is that elements in the military and intelligence community were the organizers of the plot. I know others here disagree with me (the Evica/Drago model).
The Evica-Drago model doesn't preclude elements within the military and intelligence communities from being the organizers of the plot. In fact, I think it pretty much guarantees that they were the organizers of the plot.

“The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of doubt, what is laid before him.â€
