The JFK Plot: A Structural Model

[Charles Drago]

Absent a working hypothesis for the structure of the JFK murder plot, one cannot hope to answer the "who" and "why" questions we endlessly and futilely pose.

George Michael Evica and I constructed the following model:

1. Sponsors -- This, the smallest of the three major components, is comprised of the powers behind the thrones. Their determination of the necessiity of JFK's removal alone could have set the plot in motion.

2. Facilitators -- This middle level breaks into three sub-divisions:

2A. All but wholly informed and invested "princes" who were the cut-outs trusted by the Facilitators. At this level we find the grand drama's principal creator(s).

2B. The problem-solvers who did the prime Facilitators' and "princes'" bidding -- or dirty work -- and who were not implicated as false sponsors. Their heirs are active to this day.

2C. The false sponsors (Johnson, Hoover, Harriman, LCN, anti-Castro Cubans, the Soviets, Fidel, Texas oilmen, the CIA [and other governmental agencies], members of the JCS, etc.) who may have facilitated aspects of the plot but who later were controlled in their diverse disappointments by threat of incrimination and/or promises -- delivered or not -- of substantial rewards.

3. Mechanics -- The teams in Dealey Plaza, the E&E facilitators, and the post-hit hitters.

Names...I want names! Good organization chart, but how about names?

Thanks.

[Charles Drago]

Names shmames, Jack!

Okay ... seriously ... Let's start with the Facilitators level and its sub-headings. In my Constitutionally protected opinion they may include:

2A. All but wholly informed and invested "princes" who were the cut-outs trusted by the Facilitators. At this level we find the grand drama's principal creator(s).

Here I nominate Messrs. Angleton, Phillips, Helms, etc.

2B. The problem-solvers who, knowingly or not, did and do service the prime Facilitators' and "princes" and who were not implicated as false sponsors. Their heirs are active to this day.

Messrs. Ruby, Walker, Lansdale, Valeriano, Nagell, Sanchez Morales, Robertson, Rosselli, Hoffa, Helliwell, Hemming, "Delk" Simpson, de Mohrenschildt, "Joseph Silverthorne," C. D. Jackson, Luce, Posner, Bugliosi, Rahn, McAdams, "Colby," Waldron and Hartman, Chris Matthews, Paine, Ms. Oswald, Ms. Paine, Ms. Johnson-McMillan, etc. -- with some overlap to the group below.

2C. The false sponsors who may have facilitated aspects of the plot, including the cover-up but who, in some cases, later were controlled in their diverse disappointments by threat of incrimination and/or promises -- delivered or not --of substantial reward.

Johnson, Hoover, Harriman, Hoffa, LCN, Union Corse, anti-Castro Cubans, Fidel and/or Raul, the Soviets, the Israelis, Texas oilmen, the CIA (and other governmental agencies), members of the JCS, etc.

For starters. A non-comprehensive list. Right to revision reserved.

To lump Stalin's and Hitler's banker Harriman in the same status as the anti-Castro Cubans is a serious mis-reading of history.

To lump Stalin's and Hitler's banker Harriman in the same status as the anti-Castro Cubans is a serious mis-reading of history.

To conclude that I posit shared levels of power, position, and influence for Harriman and the Gusanos is to misread my model.

On the other hand, for you to recognize that my candidates for assassination False Sponsorship have been unjustifiably and even absurdly elevated to prime mover status in order to protect the true Sponsors is to see a truth long obscured by ego investment in failed reasoning.

A JFK assassination Grand Unified Theory that would place Harriman or Johnson or Hoover or Fidel or Marcello or any of the others I cite atop the leader board shares a fatal floor with the GUTs of physics to date: None of them can account for all observed phenomena.

Harriman very well could belong among the "princes" as well as the False Sponsors. He may have been a most major player.

But he damn well took direction.

I find it odd that you consider the CIA in the catagory of "false sponsers". I fully realize that there are plenty of movers and shakers behind the veil, but...are you suggesting the CIA was used?

Charles...the Grand Theory of George Michael and yourself is certainly interesting, but I must say that I cannot concur in all respects.

Some of the people you list as false sponsors I believe to be prime movers.

I agree that above the level you call "false sponsors" there was some as yet unidentified group of powerful people whose ideas were carried out by others. Today we call them Bilderbergers, Bonesmen, Trilaterals and others. But not all the main players were unidentified. An active participant is NOT a false sponsor.

I have always viewed the assassination as a pyramid, with those unidentified persons being at the pinnacle. But to identify Dulles, Hoover, LBJ and others as false sponsors is to exonerate them; I say they were CO-CONSPIRATORS.

"False sponsors" were Castro, the Mafia, Khrushchev and others.

Maybe we are just disagreeing on semantics.

Jack,

For the sake of clarity let's choose one of the individuals I name as a False Sponsor and you accuse of being a "prime mover."

In my highly educated opinion, Allen Dulles is guilty of the murder of JFK AND is falsely credited with membership in the small group of powerful men who sponsored the hit.

When I use the term "sponsor" I refer to those who sit at the pyramid's apex. I see Dulles seated just below them and next to his fellow "princes" who were trusted to do the sponsor's bidding.

So ... co-conspirator and False Sponsor status are not mutually exclusive.

George Michael wrote of a group of American and Soviet military, political, and intelligence assets "whose masters were above Cold War differences."

Those "masters" are the Sponsors.

Dawn,

It is highly counterproductive to accuse "the CIA" or any other agency of killing JFK.

You certainly are aware that, at the time of the assassination -- and before and since that time -- the connective tissue conjoining certain powerful civilian and military intelligence officers and agents, elements of organized crime and big business, and other deep political entities was so thick that to differentiate between the linked was to make a distinction without a difference.

Did the CIA as a function of official policy act to kill JFK? Was Operation WhackJack ever an agenda item for monthly staff meetings in the DCI's office?

No.

Were high ranking CIA officers involved in the plot?

Yes.

Has "the CIA" been identified as the Sponsor of the JFK hit?

Yes.

Is this accusation supportable by fact and therefore provable beyond reasonable doubt?

No.

Does this false accusation serve to protect the true Sponsors of the assassination?

Yes.

[Jack White]

But Charles...true that the CIA as an institution was not "involved" as a sponsor. But Dulles was no longer "employed" at the AGENCY. Phillips, Hunt and others were "moonlighting". Plausible denial, you know. The agency IS involved in the coverup.
