Two features of the plot which are organic and undeniable:
The Chicago Plot as vaccination against A) leaks (e.g., Joseph Milteer, Eugene Dinkin); B) excessive caution—JFK, ” Marty, you worry too much; the Secret Service told me they’d taken care of everything.” [Indeed, down to Greer the Brakeman—not the DeGaulle Citroen Escapist]
The Deja Vu People (Oswaldians, CIA personalities). The Mercury test drive by the man who couldn’t drive, the violation of range etiquette by Captain Maggie’s Drawers. Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera (thank you, Yul Brynner).
Gil Jesus did a series on Ten Reasons Why I Believe Oswald’s Rifle was a Stage Prop from Laugh-In.
JFK solved the thing as per motive [in the one dimension, the military-intelligence community’s frustration] From his lips, after Seven Days in May: 1) Bay of Pigs—he was supposed to use the Navy to take the island; 2) October Missile Crisis—another CIA trap: he was supposed to blow up the missile sites—and if one was operable and nuclear, well, that’s how we learned to Love the Bomb; 3) NSAM 263 following Peace Speech—he was pulling out of the Cold War business model.
Perhaps it wasn’t personal; just business.
Waiting for the laughter to die down—Dulles, and Harvey, and LeMay, oh my.
The Agency knows things. Simply take a series of personnel on The Colby Canoe Ride.
Standard means will never suffice.
