Episode 211 is the second  in a series covering  Joesph Milteer and the radical right wing of America.     In today's episode we tell the story of Don Adams. Adams was a rookie FBI agent in 1963 who was assigned out of the Atlanta office to work in a rotation out of Quitman Georgia.   As a satellite office,  agents stationed in Quitman covered nine counties in southern Georgia. Because the secret service had no offices in south Georgia, they called on the FBI for help in investigating Milteer.  In both October and November, Willie Somersett an informant for both the Miami Police Department and the FBI,  reported that plots had been discussed involving plans to assassinate president Kennedy.  The first occurring in Indianapolis Indiana at a meeting of several individuals in a hotel room and then again during a conversation that occurred one on one  in Miami at Somersett's apartment with Milteer.  Milteer was party to both meetings. After the November 9th meeting  between Somersett and Milteer,  in Miami, the secret service  received a transcription of the tape recorded conversation where Milteer described the plot that was already in the works. Considering him  a prime suspect, the Secret Service reached out to the Atlanta office of the FBI to track down Milteer and learn more. This is the fascinating story of the FBI deception in the investigation of Milteer that was later uncovered by this rookie agent himself, years after the fact. 

Even as early as 1964, rumors and serious concerns over  the lone gunman theory and the evidence that might contravene it,  were becoming a major concern for the government and the commission. Conspiracy theories were contrary to the government's stated narrative from the very beginning. This  real-life story is more fascinating than fiction.  No matter whether you are a serious researcher or a casual student, you will enjoy the fact filled narrative and story as  we relive one of the most shocking moments in American History. An event that changed the nation and changed the world forever.

Episode 210 is the  first  in a series covering Joseph Milteer and the radical right wing of  America. On November 9th, 1963,  just seven days after the secret service had thwarted the plot in Chicago, an informant working for the intelligence unit of the Miami police department William  Somersett captured an extraordinary conversation on a surveillance tape. As Somersett and Milteer carried on a conversation in Somersett's Miami apartment, Milteer would reveal that a plan was already in the works to assassinate president Kennedy and that it would be done with a high powered rifle with a scope from an office building.  He would go on to say that a suspect would be picked up very shortly after the shooting in order to throw off the investigation.  This was exactly what happened in Dealey Plaza some 13 days later on November 22nd, 1963. Was this a lucky guess by Milteer or was his foreknowledge real. 
Even as early as 1964, rumors and serious concerns over  the lone gunman theory and the evidence that might contravene it,  were becoming a major concern for the government and the commission. Conspiracy theories were contrary to the government's stated narrative from the very beginning. This  real-life story is more fascinating than fiction.  No matter whether you are a serious researcher or a casual student, you will enjoy the fact filled narrative and story as  we relive one of the most shocking moments in American History.

Episode 209 is the twentieth  in a series covering the Secret Service and  possible involvement in the coverup, or the  actual plot itself to assassinate President Kennedy.  Today's episode covers the  plot to  kill the president in Chicago on November 2nd, 1963. just twenty days before his actual assassination in Dallas. President Kennedy was scheduled to attend the Army Airforce Game in Chicago. Several days prior to his arrival,  the FBI phoned the  secret service Chicago office and apprised them  that there was a plot afoot that deployed paramilitary gunman to kill the president. And that they were likely to be aiming at the president as he exited the expressway close to stadium. The clue was provided by a man with the first name of Lee. Shortly after a landlady came across rifles with scopes in one of four rooms that she had rented to four men, she concluded it was suspicious and informed the authorities. The head of the local secret service knew it was the plot that he had been forewarned about by the FBI. For reasons that are still, to this day, not completely clear, the FBI chose to "turf" the case entirely over to the secret service. They did so despite the fact that the secret service had minimal personnel in the Chicago office, consisting only of eight agents at the time. After a surveillance snafu, only two of the four men were identified and taken into custody for questioning. The other two men known to the landlady, were never identified or found. Meanwhile, through an unidentified tip, the authorities became aware of an ex-Marine that turned out to be a perfect patsy. Thomas Arthur Valley. His credentials looked surprisingly like Oswalds...both were marines, both  served in the marines in  japan at bases there, and both bases were CIA fortresses. With a history of far right leanings and connections to the John Birch society and later shown to have trained with  anti-Castro Cubans, Valley had a sketchy mental health background. No doubt that he  would have been  considered a lone nut. A perfect patsy. He had recently taken a job in a manufacturing concern located  in a multi-story building along the motorcade route, close to a point in the road where the president's limousine would come to the end of the expressway and stop, and then make a 90 degree turn.  Eerily similar to the Dealey Plaza scenario. Details of the Chicago plot were  sealed up by the secret service and apparently not made available to the planners in Miami, Tampa and  the Texas trips including Dallas.  It was many years later before the plots were revealed generally.  Was there more to the story. Why were these details withheld from planners in Dallas?
Even as early as 1964, rumors and serious concerns over  the lone gunman theory and the evidence that might contravene it,  were becoming a major concern for the government and the commission. Conspiracy theories were contrary to the government's stated narrative from the very beginning. This  real-life story is more fascinating than fiction.  No matter whether you are a serious researcher or a casual student, you will enjoy the fact filled narrative and story as  we relive one of the most shocking moments in American History. An event that changed the nation and changed the world forever.

Episode 208 is the nineteenth  in a series covering the Secret Service and  possible involvement in the coverup, or the  actual plot itself to assassinate President Kennedy.  Today's episode is part 6 and the final episode  of a multi part mini-series covering the presidential limousine and the hole in the windshield. In today's episode, we hear for the second time directly, from Doug Weldon who is considered the premier expert on assassination research as it relates to the  limousine and this topic.  Episodes 207 and 208, which feature Doug Weldon,  complete our series on the limousine and the bullet hole in the windshield. This episode 208 tells the story of the destruction of the windshield at the Ford Rouge Plant in Dearborn Michigan and the creation of a replacement windshield. A story told by Ford Motor Company witness  George Whittaker. Mr. Whittaker is a glass expert and also verifies  that the hole in the original windshield came from the front. Before  Mr. Whittaker was identified, there was great  suspicion around the limousine and its windshield. Questions abounded. Episode 208 solves the mystery of what happened to the original windshield and that a bullet passed from the front, right through it.  No longer do we need to ask, was there a bullet hole through and through in the windshield? And if so, then did it come from the front.. or the back?  And what  happened to the evidence of it.   Prior to these revelations from George Whittaker,  there was a mountain of unanswered questions....How did the government overcome at least ten  eyewitnesses who saw the hole? How was this evidence suppressed? Why were these witnesses never spoken to about the hole? Why does the official piece of evidence, the windshield, sitting in the national archives today, show no evidence of a bullet hole? Is it a forgery? If so, is there a fantastic tale surrounding how this rather surreptitious event occurred.  And if it did occur, what does that say about the work of the secret service and the FBI as it relates to the forensic review of the limousine? Why didn't the secret service follow basic crime scene protocols to preserve the epicenter of the crime...which was the limousine? Join us in this nail biter and when it's all over, and you hear the story and the first hand accounts from eye witnesses,  go ahead and conclude on your own about what really happened to the windshield. And whether there really was a shot from the front. Could this resolve the issue of where and how a shot came to pierce the front of President Kennedy's neck...an entrance wound and not part of the hypothesis that came become the single bullet or "magic bullet" theory. And if it is true that the  Secret Service obfuscated this evidence, then what does that mean in terms of more expansive elements of the coverup, or even involvement.

In today's episode,  unravel the "hocus pocus" related to the three key memos that, along with the White House garage logs, represent the key written documents to explore regarding the limousine's chain of custody in the aftermath of the assassination and what activities took place related to the limousine....and when.  Hocus pocus,  refers to the inconsistent assertion of facts contained right there within the official documentation.   The differences are the basis of much suspicion about what really happened to the limousine and its windshield  and the obliteration of evidence in the aftermath of the assassination.
