Dallas Garland Airport had a strange moment in the spotlight

as part of the mysterious events surrounding the assassination of President Kennedy in Dallas.

Robert Plumlee (who had piloted clandestine flights for the CIA for over 31 years)

testified before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in 1990 & 1991.

Plumlee testified that on November 22, 1963, he was a co-pilot on a top secret flight supported by the CIA.

The flight carried Philippe Socko (a known Mafia/CIA double operative) from Florida to Dallas,

and that their assignment was to stop the assassination attempt on Kennedy's life.

Plumlee stated that Roselli departed the plane at Dallas Garland Airport on the morning of November 22.

The author of the article wrote, "According to Gary Walker, his father continued as the airport operator "until his death in late 1966.

At that point, my Mother inherited the operation, which she ran up until about 1969-1970."

When I worked as a trainer for the nuclear couriers, we called them "JANET'S"-just another non existent terminal.

Evan,

 

Can you talk a little about this?

What's a "nuclear courier"?; and,

What did you do as a "trainer"?

I was one of at least 40 instructors. It was challenging especially after 9/11

Evan,

 

Thank you for responding.

 

Does that mean you taught individual crew members, or couriers how to protect/defend themselves?

And what do you mean by "tactics"?

And when you define JANET as "Just Another...", does that mean that there were a lot of them?

No, I taught counter ambush techniques and firearms AND yest there are a number of Janet's. For example, every morning a 737 leaves Vegas and lands in Area 51 and returns in the evening.

Evan,

 

Did you study the attack on Charles de Gaulle at Petit-Clamart in August of 1962? and what is your assessment of that attempt? How would you compare that to Dallas in November of 1963?

 

Area 51 is still is use? I thought they had moved on.

No, to Degaulle. I was at student at BYU in Utah on Nov 22nd. Watched all the coverage and it just didn't make sense. Read the 26 volumes twice and that alone proved conspiracy. Watched Oswald say he was just a patsy and it sounded sincere to me. When I saw Ruby shoot him on live tv, I knew it was to silence him and after doing two tours in Detroit homicide I knew why I "knew" it was a conspiracy.
