The first one had to be done in plain view, so we would all "know what had happened". This time around they were willing to take the psychology down a notch in return for effectiveness.
Specifically, they line up some unstable dumbass and do it in out of public view. Without seeing it for ourselves, we would have to take the word of the "authorities" as to what happened, but it would still look "true enough". The patsy can be suicided any time he begins to say things not in the script.
Who's next in the batting order? How about... one of his security detail turns out to have a homicidal case of TDS? "Oh well, maybe the mainstream should not have been so divisive. But what's done is done and, after all, Trump brought it on himself for threatening democracy."
The problem I have with this is there's nothing in it for the employees. The powerful people pulling the strings have very much to lose.
I see it very much the opposite way, on a big picture level. All that They have carefully built over decades and centuries is slipping through their fingers (China and the Global South), crumbling to dust (Israel, and dreams of the destruction of Russia), and being torn from Their grasp (by such people as Donald Trump and Elon Musk).
Worse, public sentiment is tilting away. Worst--and possibly fatal--common knowledge that public sentiment is tilting away is growing seemingly unstoppably. An idea whose time has come, if you will.
I came to realize recently that almost all They have ever done is through influence, like--as you say--tiny strings pulling people this way and that. When those strings get cut, the functionality of the puppets degrades chaotically and it's hell trying to get then retied. Pull on the strings too hard and you'll snap them yourself.
If They had some brilliant secret plan to recover from all this, I certainly can't see any evidence of it.
What I'm getting at is that it's not low-level people responsible for planning out the assassination plots.
