  1. From Gerald Blaine's blog http://kennedydetail.blogspot.com/2010/09/association-of-former-agents-of-united.html (public domain-all blogs are open to readers all over the world to read, cut and paste, and do as they wish, as long as there is no misrepresentation. I have to state this so Mr. Blaine's attorney doesn't send me another letter!) "Saturday, September 4, 2010 Association of Former Agents of the United States Secret Service (AFAUSSS) Annual Meeting- New York City- August 26-28. “The Kennedy Detail” At the annual conference of the 2500 member former Secret Service Agents Association last week in New York City, Lisa McCubbin and I [Gerald Blaine] presented an overview of the book at the business meeting to ensure the agents that the publication was “Worthy of Trust and Confidence.” With six of the surviving members of the Kennedy Secret Service Detail in attendance, it was also an ideal opportunity to acknowledge their participation in the book and thank them for helping to ensure the accuracy of its contents. It was a proud moment when the members of the association gave us [Lisa and Gerald]a standing ovation and tribute of recognition to the Kennedy Detail agents who were there. Following the presentation Lisa and I [Gerald Blaine] presented a check to the organization for $5,000.00 to AFAUSSS President Ike Hendershot on behalf of the Kennedy Detail. At the conference opening reception Clint Hill, Lisa McCubbin and I [Gerald Blaine] met with Secret Service Director Sullivan and discussed the book from the perspective of today’s operations. Clint Hill, who lives in the Washington DC area, had previously briefed the Director on the accuracy and purpose of writing the book. I [Gerald Blaine] am the sole surviving charter member and a past president of the organization. The association was conceived by Floyd Boring and Jerry Behn with the assistance of fifteen charter members. Jerry Behn was the Special Agent in Charge of the Kennedy Detail and Floyd Boring was an Assistant Agent in Charge. The organization's mission is to maintain social and professional relationships, to liaison with the Secret Service and other law enforcement agencies and to support and assist members of the Secret Service Family in times of stress or need, including scholarships. The closing banquet featured speaker was former president Bill Clinton, who expressed his gratitude for the Secret Service and the professional manner with which they performed their mission." ------------ Very interesting. Vince Palamara P.S. Gerald Blaine's book "The Kennedy Detail" is coming out 11/2/10 via Simon and Schuster (!) and there will also be a 2 hour Discovery Channel documentary on the book with seven former JFK era agents (Blaine, Toby Chandler, Clint Hill, Tom Wells, Paul Landis, Winston Lawson, and David Grant) 11/21/10 FOR MY PRELIMINARY THOUGHTS ON THE BOOK, SEE http://thekennedydetailexposed.blogspot.com/

  4. JFK did NOT "ban agents from his car"! FROM THE INSIDE DUST JACKET OF JERRY BLAINE'S FORTCOMING BOOK "THE KENNEDY DETAIL" (11/2/10) <i>[Yes, you better believe I will be there, along with an army of researchers/ authors/ lawyers, to correct any and all factual errors. Don't mess with the bull, young man: you'll get the horns] </i> From the internet, viewable by people all over the world: public domain. http://www.scribd.com/doc/35249216/Whole-Cover SEE ALSO http://kenatchity.blogspot.com/2010/07/kennedy-detail-dallas-shoot.html "The Secret Service. An elite team of men who share a single mission: to protect the president of the United States. On November 22, 1963, these men failed—and a country would never be the same. Now, for the first time, a member of JFK’s Secret Service detail reveals the inside story of the assassination, the weeks and days that led to it and its heartrending aftermath. This extraordinary book is a moving, intimate portrait of dedication, courage, and loss. Drawing on the memories of his fellow agents, <b>Jerry Blaine captures the energetic, crowd-loving young president, who banned agents from his car </b>and often plunged into raucous crowds with little warning. He describes the careful planning that went into JFK’s Texas swing, the worries and concerns that agents, working long hours with little food or rest, had during the trip. And he describes the intensely private First Lady making her first-ever political appearance with her husband, just months after losing a newborn baby. Here are vivid scenes that could come only from inside the Kennedy detail: JFK’s last words to his tearful son when he left Washington for the last time; how a sudden change of weather led to the choice of the open-air convertible limousine that day; Mrs. Kennedy standing blood-soaked outside a Dallas hospital room; the sudden interruption of six-year-old Caroline’s long-anticipated sleepover with a friend at home; the exhausted team of agents immediately reacting to the president’s death with a shift to LBJ and other key governmental figures; the agents’ dismay at Jackie’s decision to walk openly from the White House to St. Matthew’s Cathedral at the state funeral. Most of all, this is a look into the lives of men who devoted their entire beings to protecting the presidential family: the stress of the secrecy they kept, the emotional bonds that developed, the terrible impact on agents’ psyches and families, and their astonishment at the country’s obsession with far-fetched conspiracy theories and finger-pointing. A book fifty years in coming,The Kennedy Detail is a portrait of incredible camaraderie and incredible heartbreak—a true, must-read story of heroism in its most complex and human form. GERALD BLAINE had the privilege of serving three U.S. presidents as a Special Agent of the Secret Service on the White House detail. After his resignation following John. F. Kennedy’s assassination, he embarked on a career path as an expert in high-level corporate security. He retired in 2003 and now lives in Colorado with his wife of more than fifty years. LISA McCUBBIN is an award-winning journalist who has worked for three major television news networks. In the aftermath of the attacks on 9/11, McCubbin provided compelling reports as a foreign correspondent in Saudi Arabia. She lives in Doha, Qatar, with her husband and two teenage sons." <b>Blaine's colleagues who stated that JFK did NOT order the agents off the car: <i></i></b> 1) <b>SAIC Jerry Behn (#1 agent);</b> 2) <b>ASAIC Floyd Boring (#2 agent); </b> 3) <b>ATSAIC Art Godfrey (a top agent; one of 3 Shift Leaders);</b> 4) <b>SA Sam Kinney (driver of follow-up car in Dallas);</b> 5) SA Donald Lawton (on Texas trip); 6) <b>JFK Aide Dave Powers (rode in follow-up car in Dallas); </b> 7) ASAIC of LBJ Detail Rufus Youngblood (in LBJ's car in Dallas); 8) SAIC of PRS Robert Bouck; 9) JFK Aide Marty Underwood (on Texas trip); 10) <b>SA Winston Lawson (Lead advance agent for Dallas); </b> 11) SA Abraham Bolden; 12) SA Robert Lilley; 13) SA Maurice Martineau; 14) John Norris; 15) <b>Chief James J Rowley: “No President will tell the Secret Service what they can or cannot do.” </b> 16) Press Secretary Pierre Salinger; 17) SA Sam Sulliman (on the Texas trip); 18) PRS Frank Stoner; 19) SA Gerald O'Rourke (on the Texas trip); 20) SA Vincent Mroz; 21) SA J.

  5. Yes: Jerry O'Rourke is still alive (he lives very close to his former colleague, Jerry Blaine!), that IS Forrest Sorrells in that pic with LBJ, and I can't reveal the DETAILS of the letter from his attorney...but you are correct in your analogy. Blaine is a "true believer"---doubt anyone will change his mind Vince Hey Vince, I too think this is an important book, regardless of what it says. If Blaine is a security consultant, then he should recognize that even if he believes Oswald acted alone, the security implications of the assassination are still effecting us today, and that the records must be released NOW as a matter of national security. He should also be required to testify at a Congressional Oversight Hearing on the JFK Act as to why all the records are being withheld and destoryed if Oswald acted alone? He should also have to respond to Bill Simpich's continuing reports on how the official records reflect that Oswald was being used as a counter-intelligence asset whether he was aware of it or not. And my question has yet to be answered as to whether Gerry O'Rourke is still alive, as he too should be required to testify as the news article says that he developed his firm opinion on the assassination while serving as a SS intelligence agent in Washington with access to the files that are being withheld and destroyed, and these records helped him for his opinions. The book is scheduled for release in November, and every time an article about this book is published gives us an opportunity to respond and set the record straight about these issues. There also must be a book signing, and book tour, and we should meet with Blaine and give him the information that we have that convinces us that there was a conspiracy and ask him how he resonds to that. And Vince, can you share with us what Blaine's lawyer had to say to you? It appears as if he was trying to stymie you, as in golf or pool, and block your shot. BK

  7. Hi, all! Yes, SA Jerry O'Rourke is the agent who firmly believes there was a conspiracy, NOT Gerald Blaine. In fact, this is what Blaine wrote to me in an e-mail dated 6/12/05: “I did not hear Jerry O'Rourke's comments, but I cannot even imagine an agent who went through the whole thing expressing a conspiracy theory, but everyone is entitled to their own thoughts. My study and evaluation over the years, based upon the threat scenario's we had to deal with pointed to Oswald's acting alone” Blaine also told me on the phone on 6/10/05: “The Secret Service learned so much from the assassination” and “The Warren Commission did a great job” (!) There is going to be a big media splash with this book: not only because it says so in so many words on the publisher's website, but because this book is being published BY a major publisher with all the hype of "former agents speak out for the first time" (bulls*&^!) AND will convey that Oswald acted alone (the media will love that!). Last but certainly not least, I have the distinct feeling they will be towing the "blame-the-victim" line (it's a shame he was killed, but JFK was asking for it via reckless behavior and ordering us off the limo [more bulls^&%]). I would be shocked if this book "came and went", so to speak. See: http://www.scribd.com/doc/29254708/Blaine-...yDetail-Catalog There are several factual errors JUST from the backjacket released so far: "For the first time ever" the Secret Service agents are allegedly speaking out about the assassination. We ALL know this is not true: the Warren Commission, Manchester, Bishop, the HSCA, and especially MY BOOK, not to mention several Secret Service documentaries on tv/ vhs/ dvd, among other sources, chronicles what many of these agents have to say about the matter. Clint Hill has allegedly refused to cooperate with any book on the assassination until now. Oops: wrong answer---Hill was interviewed 11/18/64 and 5/20/65, respectively, for William Manchester's "The Death of a President." (His testimony also appears in the Warren Report, another book, not to mention TWO different appearances on "60 Minutes", a 3/22/06 appearance on "Larry King Live", as well as lengthy interviews on THREE different televised Secret Service documentaries, available for retail purchase the world over on VHS and/ or dvd!) [Nothing is mentioned about Hill testifying that the right rear of JFK's head was missing, indicating a shot from the front] Over forty agents who served JFK contributed to the book [giving the distinct impression that this is a world exclusive]...that's nice, but I interviewed and/ or corresponded with even more ("cross examination", so to speak, versus friendly "direct examination"), as well as several very important agents---the "brass"---who passed away BEFORE this book was even a thought. It's nice to have the thoughts of the many "Privates"---Special Agents---regarding Kennedy and so forth, but nothing beats the "brass": SAIC Jerry Behn, ASAIC Floyd Boring, and ATSAIC Art Godfrey, not to mention JFK Aide Dave Powers. I, along with several other researchers, ALSO have the 11/18/63 Tampa Secret Service Final Survey Report, as well as shift reports for that trip (these were released by the ARRB in the late 1990's). The issue really is about the many OTHER trip reports that WERE destroyed by the Secret Service in January 1995 for the period from 9/24/63 to 11/22/63; a token number were released to "pacify" us all. Blaine's attorney sent me a threatening letter last Fall: they are worried about me...for good reason. ) I won't take this *&% lightly. Vince Palamara
  8. See the two page scroll down: http://www.scribd.com/doc/29254708/Blaine-...yDetail-Catalog THIS WILL BE A MAJOR BOOK BY A DIVISION OF SIMON AND SCHUSTER! WRITTEN BY FORMER JFK/ TEXAS TRIP AGENT GERALD BLAINE [mentioned on the Air Force One tapes: "Blaine, Burke, and his party" (Austin)] AND HIS VERY GOOD FRIEND, CLINT HILL, WHO IS WRITING THE FOREWARD! (Clint Hill's brother-in-law? Fellow JFK agent David Grant, assistant advance agent for the Dallas trip!) Blaine and many of his colleagues, including "the brass" (SAIC Jerry Behn, ASAIC Floyd Boring, and ATSAIC Art Godfrey) and several White House aides (including close JFK aide Dave Powers, Pierre Salinger, and Marty Underwood), all told me that President Kennedy was a nice man, never interfered with the actions of the Secret Service at all, and did NOT order the agents off his limousine. President Kennedy was a very nice man and never interfered with the Secret Service at all...and that goes for JFK's aides, too-nice try! UH OH-guess who's responsible? I'll give you a hint: the initials are "SS" and I don't mean the Third Reich http://www.amazon.com/Gerald-Blaine-Secret.../R22QJKCG1Z8SD1 http://www.amazon.com/gp/richpub/listmania..._pdp_lm_title_1 BLAINE'S ATTORNEY SENT ME A THREATENING CERTIFIED LETTER LAST FALL---THEY ARE WORRIED ABOUT ME, TO PUT IT MILDLY...I WILL BE "THE FLY IN THE OINTMENT", SO TO SPEAK http://vincepalamara.blogspot.com/ First of all, Clint Hill WAS interviewed for William Manchester's book back in 1964 and 1965--- interviewed by: Warren Commission (March 9, 1964), for Manchester, The Death of a President (November 18, 1964; May 20, 1965), and 60 Minutes (December 7, 1975; November 1993); December 1963 newsreel regarding Treasury award (with C. Douglas Dillon as presenter); Who Killed JFK: The Final Chapter? (CBS, November 19, 1993); <b>The Secret Service and Inside the Secret Service videos (1995); Inside the U.S. Secret Service documentary (2004); Larry King Live (March 22, 2006) Oops. "Conspiracy theorists" don't just "claim" that the beloved Secret Service DESTROYED RECORDS OF PRESIDENTIAL TRIPS: THEY DID!!!!--- According to Chapter 8 of the Official Federal Government's Assassination Records Review Board (ARRB’s) Final Report (1998), given to President Clinton, Newt Gingrich, Trent Lott, and a gaggle of media luminaries and available the world over free---not for profit---online (kind of like my book): "Congress passed the JFK Act of 1992. One month later, the Secret Service began its compliance efforts. However, in January 1995, the Secret Service destroyed presidential protection survey reports for some of President Kennedy’s trips in the fall of 1963. The Review Board learned of the destruction approximately one week after the Secret Service destroyed them, when the Board was drafting its request for additional information. The Board believed that the Secret Service files on the President’s travel in the weeks preceding his murder would be relevant. [Emphasis added.] As the ARRB’s Doug Horne wrote in a memo dated April 16, 1996: “The ‘final decision’ to approve the Texas trip made ‘late Tuesday night’ indicates that de-cision came on September 24, 1963 … the Secret Service Protective Survey Reports … which were destroyed in 1995 commence with trip files starting on this same date: September 24, 1963 [emphasis added].” In addition, the ARRB’s Joan Zimmerman noted in a May 1, 1997 Memorandum To File: “Thus far, the US Secret Service collection is in 6 gray archive boxes for documents, 7 large, flat gray boxes with newspapers and clippings, and 1 small box with a tape cassette … In Box 5 there are three folders marked “trip file”. All are empty.” The chairman of the ARRB, Judge Jack Tunheim, stated: “The Secret Service destroyed records after we were on the job and working. They claimed it was a mistake that it was just by the normal progression of records destruction.” Former PRS Agent Dale Wunderlich wrote to me: “I assumed that advance reports from the early 1960s had been destroyed years ago.” The agent’s assumption aside, why wait until 1995, after the ARRB began its work? Former agent Frank Stoner gave me a copy of the Secret Service's JFK inaugural survey report...I'm sure there are alot of 'things' in private hands. And, last but not least... ONLY forty??? ) Vince Palamara First Amendment fan

ANSWER: Douglas Horne's 5 new books...and, to a certain extent, my own re-evaluation (remember, even at my "lowest", I STILL believed there WERE conspiracies [plural] to kill Kennedy...just that [my thinking circa Spring 2007-mid 2009] Oswald beat them all to the punch...and I have, of course, always believed in the Secret Service's negligence)

  12. Vince, As the expert in these matters, I am sure you are familiar with the report that John W. Rice was at Barksdale AFB near Shreveport, LA when he was contacted by the Dallas Secret Service office and instructed to proceed to Goldonna, LA to investigate the initial JFK shooting suspect, Jack W. Martin. http://www.maryferrell.org/mffweb/archive/...bsPageId=267652 Can you verify whether or not November 22 was also Rice's wife's birthday, and if it was, how that detail may have played into Rice making that 325 miles, each way, trip to Barksdale. Did Rice's older daughter and her husband, you probably know their names, so I won't post them here, reside at that time. in Leesville, LA, a town south of Shreveport, next to the Ft. Polk, US Army base, lying along the shortest route from New Orleans, or did the young couple move there shortly after? Did Rice stop at his daughter;s home in Leesville, before or after his official stops at Barksdale or at Ladonna, or meet with his daughter or son-in-law after he heard the news about JFK? Did Rice perhaps bring his wife along on that trip north, to visit with her daughter on the occasion of Rice's wife's brithday? Is it possible Rice had planned to pick his daughter up in Leesville and bring her back to New Orleans to celebrate her mother's birthday? If John W. Rice recounted his recollections to you of that fateful afternoon, I'm assuming all of the family related details that would jog the memory of any of the agents you've interviewed would have come into play. How did you determine (prioritize) which agents were most important to devote the time to attempt to obtain information from, or about, or is the assassination of president Kennedy simply subordinate to your interest in researching and writing about the Secret Service personnel? Vince, did you attempt to interview John W. Rice or his wife? If not, who are the other agents you asked for details they might offer related to Rice and his career? When do you recall becoming aware of Adele Edisen's claims of being interviewed by John W. Rice in his office on November 24, 1963? Did Adele's assertions influence you in any way to pursue details related to the career and other background of John W, Rice? Were you aware that John W. Rice had served on the White House residence protection detail in the early 50's? Where have you published those details? Hi, everyone. Sorry: as I have told Bill over the years (hi, Bill!) what i have on John W. Rice is what I have in my book/ online...not much! )

  18. I'll tell you this: a good many fellow researchers are doing their very best to "UNconvince" me of my regard for Bugliosi's book...and it is starting to have an effect. As I alluded to before, the back-of-the-head witnesses and the Sylvia Odio incident still trouble me. Bugliosi's book just totally caught me off guard---I did not expect such a well-written, LENGTHY indictment of Oswald that was so all-encompassing (I kept a legal pad of all the areas I wanted him to cover...and, to my astonishment, between the text and the disc, he did). I may already be heading for the Anthony Summers/ Tink Thompson "agnostic" viewpoint, so that is progress from my adamant reversal LOL Vince Staking out a niche market. The one Foot In Both camps brigade are now accommodated. It really stretches credulity. It is as if a number of 'lone' assassins sort of had some vague knowledge of the others, but fought to be first and win the prize of the turkey shoot. Lee 'won' in Dallas [those on the GK must have been mad as hell!]; after some others having lost-out in other cities. Ruby gave him the prize. [Ruby and the DPD men who let him in had lost their bets.] A whole new industry for a quasi-conspiracy book genre has been created. The SS were only involved to the extent they took bets on who would win via their betting parlor markers. Roselli was in charge of the betting and Morales, Harvey, Phillips, Bishop, et al. were only sending agents to be the first to know who had won. Another betting parlor group was run by Bannister and Shaw in N.O. with Ferrie and friends as croupiers. Nagell got 'out' as he knew his bet was lost. The Oswald doubles were there to confuse and confound some of the betters. UM and DCM were betting on Lee and hedging their bets. Prouty was sent to Antartica, as he was opposed to betting. The Paines only manipulating Oswald and Martina in order to maximize their profits. The jamming of DPD channels and phones in D.C. were to confound angry loosers on their bets. Winning DPD officers arrested Oswald in the theatre in order to get their winnings early. Tippit was a big looser with a 'beef' that he was misled.......and so on. Officers changed the type of gun in a futile attempt to save their lost bets and detroyed and tampered with evidence in last-ditch efforts in the same vein. All of the suspected CIA, FBI, JCS, NSA, SS, DPD, MI, Ultra-Right, Nazis, SOF, and anti-Castro Cubans [and others] only had a 'sporting interest' in the event....rather than any actual involvment. [This also explains all the interesting onlookers in the Plaza waiting to see the outcome and how their bets would make-out with their own eyes] I'll bet the odds were on Lee....maybe THAT was the conspiracy...the event was 'fixed'! Martino and others had inside info on this fact. The cover-up from that day to this has only been to keep from the American Public the largescale betting on political events and assassinations by insiders. Even the tampering with films and photos were to disguise people exchanging money and markers. Case Resolved. Everyone go back to John Le Carre novels, The Green Felt Jungle, and endless re-readings of Alice In Wonderland. Bartender make mine a double - I've wasted the greater part of my life on a phantom and wild goosechase - when the truth was always so obvious, so innocent and so clear.....I've now seen the light and am saved further as of my time and mental energies. The light of truth is blinding....America is pure and innocent. [if a bit addicted to gambling]. This also explains the other assassinations and even 911. I feel unburdened for the first time in decades. Sorry Vince, I'm not at all conVINCEd! [by any 'Vince']. Rick: How can you close me up? On what grounds? Captain Renault: I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here! [a croupier hands Renault a pile of money] Croupier: Your winnings, sir. Captain Renault: [sotto voce] Oh, thank you very much. [aloud] Captain Renault: Everybody out at once! Captain Renault: What in heaven's name brought you to Casablanca? Rick: My health. I came to Casablanca for the waters. Captain Renault: The waters? What waters? We're in the desert. Rick: I was misinformed. - Casablanca [1942]
  19. First, I want to apologize for all my "hit and run" postings (especially regarding my YouTube videos): I never seem to stay and chat...could be because I am somewhat "handicapped" by not having a home pc (by choice; while I still have the net on my cell phone, I used to spend waaaay too much time on it, so I have learned some restraint and do other things LOL). I WILL say this: all the postings I read (especially about the Odio incident and the back of the head issues) are compelling...Vince Bugliosi's book just truly floored me. Perhaps I need to keep my self-professed open mind even more open than it already is. I also have to say: yes, i do have an ego...but it's mostly online; in person, you would say to yourself, "Gee, Vince, you don't seem at all like the egotistical bastard you are on the net" LOL. Always remember this; often, a so-called ego masks insecurities... The net is a free and fun way to advertise yourself (as Nixon said, history belongs to those who write it for themselves, or something like that); guess I get carried away sometimes... Like I have been telling everyone, since at least 1995, I have been saying/ writing "Oswald or no Oswald, conspiracy or no conspiracy, my work still holds up"...for it is an examination of what the Secret Service did and did not do that cost the nation its president. That said, I STILL BELIEVE THERE WERE CONSPIRACIES TO KILL JFK BREWING...just that, as much as it pains me to say (still), Oswald beat them to the punch. To me, a TRUE "lone-nutter" is a jerk who feels Oswald acted alone AND THERE WERE NO THREATS TO JFK...if i still believe that there were mortal threats to JFK, I am not a true lone nutter. I AM making a ton of things available free online (my book, articles, videos, etc.), as I always have, because I like to share information. I am very sorry if I upset or pissed people off with my book blurb or endorsement of Bugliosi's book. Remember: i am only one man, armed with an opinion...and you know what they say about opinions Vince Palamara
  20. Vince, Do you have a band? BK I sort of / kind of still have a band---my best friend sings and plays keyboards: we still get together (we were THE core of all of my major bands). So, between YouTube, MySpace, etc., it is still like we are a full fledged band LOL
  21. In this major gem from the Vince Palamara archives, Vince uncovers the only television interview of Dr. Malcolm Perry that still exists: a very rare clip from a "Texas News" newsreel from 11/23/63, the day after the assassination. Amazing! [note: slight audio buzz appears on the original] ---------------- In this rare clip from the vast Vince Palamara archives, Vince uncovers a real gem: a classic segment from a 1977 Canadian tv show "The Fifth Estate" featuring Peter Dale Scott and DPD Chief Jesse Curry in Dealey Plaza. Essential viewing! ---------------- Another gem from the Vince Palamara archives: Vince interviewing Aubrey Rike, the Oneal Funeral Home employee who became famous via his inclusion in the works of Lifton, Livingstone, etc. Note the date (and location): 11/22/97, the 34th aniversary of the JFK assassination ----------------- In a lengthy segment from a video shot by Vince Palamara, Vince shows Dealey Plaza (in Dallas, Texas) as it looked on 11/22/97, the 34th aniversary of the JFK assassination. Also of note is the startling replica limousine that begins and ends this video, the throng of people, the grassy knoll, the Triple Overpass, the Texas School Book Depository, and the general calm and serenity of this tragic landmark in American---and world---history. ----------------- SEE ALL THE MANY OTHERS AT: http://www.youtube.com/user/VincePalamara
  22. 18 new YouTube videos: inc. amazing Dr. Robert Shaw & DPD Curry statements+CLASSIC JOHN JUDGE (C-SPAN) This ultra-rare classic from the vast Vince Palamara archives (trust me, it's humongous!) finds Dr. Robert Shaw, Governor John Connally's chief surgeon, in a Parkland Hospital press conference (WFAA/ ABC tv), telling the amassed news media (and millions in tv land) that "the bullet is in the leg: it hasn't been removed...it will be removed...left thigh...before he goes to the recovery room [note the time sequence!]"...what?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Single Bullet Theory... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OyI0P6WYIY ---------------------------------- Another gem from the vast Vince Palamara archives: DPD Chief Jesse Curry on 11/20/63, 2 days before the Kennedy assassination that happened within feet of the car he was driving, warning the good citizens of Dallas to behave themselves...his incredible and ironic slip (?) "untoward accident, or incident" is amazing!!!! Note also the "harmful or degrading" comment. Wolper, 1964 ------------------------------------ In this classic from the vast Vince Palamara archives, John Judge (COPA) gives an impassioned speech on C-Span's "JFK: Cinema as History" (Jan. 1992). Enjoy! ------------------------------------ In this very interesting 2004 clip from the vast Vince Palamara (Secret Service/ related) archives, Secret Service agent Clint Hill emotionally talks about JFK and the tragedy of 11/22/63. Also included: agents Jerry Parr, one of the heroes of 3/30/81, and Larry Cockell, one of the "heroes" of the Lewinsky scandal! -------------------------------------- In this very ironic and interesting clip from the vast Vince Palamara archives, a WFAA/ ABC reporter tells the local television audience awaiting JFK for his 11/22/63 Fort Worth Chamber of Commerce speech [a very short time before his assassination in Dallas] all about the September 5 1901 assassination of President William McKinley, as well as Secret Service procedures...how thoughtful of him-NOT!!!!! Incredible and ironic, to say the least...not to mention incredibly bad taste on the reporter's part. --------------------------------------- Another short gem from the Vince Palamara archives: NBC's Bill Ryan telling millions of viewers that not having the top on the president's car may have been a "tragic mistake." Indeed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqeWnsMsTvU ------------------------------------- In this amusing clip from the Vince Palamara archives, President Nixon makes some silly statements during his 3/6/74 press conference (during the height of the Watergate affair)...among them: "I've also quit beating my wife!" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkpKO2MxJHQ ------------------------------------ In this classic clip of President Richard Nixon, during the height of the Watergate affair, ole Tricky Dicky demonstrates his lack of respect for the media. Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxW44ghduIk ------------------------------------ An interesting video clip from the Vince Palamara archives: Secret Service agent Jerry Parr (whom I spoke to: great guy) discussing both the 11/22/63 JFK assassintion and, in more depth, the 3/30/81 attempt on the life of President Reagan. The narrator is former Secret Service agent Bob Snow (whom I corresponded with). --------------------------------- In this interesting clip from the vast Vince Palamara (Secret Service) archives, I demonstrate one of the numerous instances of media disinformation regarding JFK and the Secret Service that one has had to put up with since the days of the Warren Commission, Manchester, Bishop, the HSCA, etc. This was made back in 1996 and, while I now somewhat regret the silly editing of distinguished author James W. Clarke, who wrote a fine book on political assassinations, no malice intended and, warts and all, this television clip demonstrates, yet again, the "JFK-as-scapegoat" theme I explored in my book. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPk1Pl_Z7_0 --------------------------------- see the rest here: http://www.youtube.com/user/VincePalamara such as...

  24. Hi, Ray: Boy, if it were only that easy LOL. It was not one, two, or 14 things that swayed me...it was the totality (quality and quantity) of Bugliosi's book (text/ source notes...I checked 'em all). If we held every conspiracy book to the same rigid standard some are applying to Bugliosi's book, I wonder how many would hold up. Since 1995, I have offered my "caveat" that "Oswald or no Oswald", my work holds up...the same exact way people find value in lone-nutter Trask's work, I know they feel the same way about my work. Although more forcefully stated recently, the groundwork for my 'turnaround' was there 13 years ago...and, once again, I am not entirely a lone-nutter (there were conspiracies and threats to JFK...it's just that Oswald beat them to the punch) Vince Hi Vince: A number of people have observed that, in endorsing Bugliosi's (i.e. the Warren Commission's) theory, you made no comment on what it was precisely in Bugliosi's book that influenced your opinion. Bugliosi produced no new evidence that I can think of, and in fact he makes a complete fool of himself on the NAA/bullet lead issue, so inquiring minds are wondering if you could identify one or two key issues where you felt that Bugliosi has, after 45 years of confusion, clinched the case.
