So what happens to this Conspiracy A plan for Mr. Oswald once Conspiracy A is superseded in the most horrific manner imaginable by Conspiracy B?
Mr. Oswald is left hanging. He now represents a disastrous human remainder. The promised govt-facilitated escape from Dallas cannot materialize. And NB: the flight of 'Oswald' from Red Bird must be called off. All the effort that has gone into associating Mr. Oswald with a pro-Castro CONSPIRACY must now go into isolating and depoliticizing him as a gunman acting alone.
After his arrest, Mr. Oswald still hopes for an intervention by those he has served. But they have already reached a merciless but necessary decision: this man may not keep his cover in custody indefinitely; nor can he stand trial, where a defense team will bring out dangerous facts; he's got to go.
But how is the LHO factor supposed to play out from the perspective of those planning Conspiracy B (the assassination)? What might they (BEFORE the assassination) reasonably expect will happen with Mr. Oswald afterwards? And how do subsequent events (Texas Theatre arrest, etc.) tally with their expectations? Will they even have a hand in these events?
These questions are as tricky as they are intriguing.
I think a useful starting point in working towards an answer to them is the following chain of considerations:
i) pre-11/22, a scenario never enters the minds of EITHER Conspirators A OR Conspirators B that Mr. Oswald will be nailed as a GUNMAN, still less as a gunman ACTING ALONE: it is
baked in that the world's understanding will be that the event in Dealey Plaza (whether missed-shots provocation or actual assassination) came about as a result of a pro-Castro conspiracy, with Mr. Oswald playing his part at the front entrance @ assassination-time
ii) NEITHER Conspirators A NOR Conspirators B can afford the prospect of the assassination being
properly investigated after the event
iii) Conspirators B can bank on Conspirators A doing everything possible to cover their own tracks with regard to the false-flag operation: in a grotesque irony, Conspirators A will in effect be forced into providing cover not just for themselves but for Conspirators B too
iv) In all likelihood,
Conspirators B expect that the damage-control official story will be that Pres. Kennedy was killed by pro-Castro Cubans. (Politically, this is fine and dandy with them-------a secondary dividend of the assassination)
v) It follows that Conspirators B take it as given that no circumstances would arise in which Conspirators A would allow faux-Castroite Mr. Oswald stay around long enough to vocally refuse & refute the role of confederate in the pro-Castro assassination of Pres. Kennedy. (The man's a loyal footsoldier, but he's hardly going to be THAT loyal.....)
After Mr. Oswald's arrest, did Conspirators B simply sit back and
------------------boggle at the sheer unexpected audacity of the establishment in trying to pass of Mr. Oswald as a LONE GUNMAN?
------------------let Conspirators A take care of what everyone knew needed to be done with him?
