Vince Palamara

I love the way you think and write, Charles. Whenever I think of clear, articulate speaking, Robert DeNiro [your idol as mentioned at Fredonia], or jazz music, I think of you LOL Thanks...and I think you are right (of course). One thing it DOES tell us---regardless of your 'theory' (official government stance or otherwise), if proper security and advance work (like heeding warnings and threats) would have been done, these tragedies would have been prevented. vince palamara

Hi Ken, Yes, several (many? LOL) of my early online (newsgroup) errors have since been corrected via my online books and so forth (I always considered myself to be a 'work-in-progress'...aren't we all? lol). I SPOKE TO LEM JOHNS IN 2004: he told me adamantly that he was only on the road a mere few ***seconds***, time enough to catch his ride, never leaving the road...so much for those who think he was the agent of unknown repute. The allegation (that ***Johns*** was the mysterious agent by the knoll and so forth) has been quashed. Time to move on. vince

----------------- Thanks; much appreciated (that compilation of witnesses was basically the first major paper I ever did, started in 1991). Rybka died 12/25/75 of a heart attack. Debra Conway alleged (via e-mail), seemingly offhand years ago, that Rybka's family contacted her but, when I asked her for details, I never recieved them. The WC, the HSCA, and everyone else didn't even mention the Rybka/ Roberts incident until I first brought it up in 1994 (at COPA in 1995)--as former agent Larry Newman told me, "I had never seen that before" and didn't have any explanation for it. See my online book for more details re: this and the dead agent 'stories'. The 'stories' may be ultimately untrue, but they provided a cover story for the Secret Service to take the President's body under their control, etc. vince;)

---------------------- Thanks so much. Hmmm...I'm not very suspicious of Jack Puterbaugh. Among other reasons, he said the "ballistics stuff doesn't add up" in the WC investigation and he just didn't seem to say or do anything to warrant suspicion. vince:)

Yes Charles, and he flogged Ultimate Sacrifice within approximately 1 quadrillion other book reviews on Amazon so it's almost impossible to miss. (Vince, if you don't post soon we'll just talk behind your back.) Hi, everyone. I deeply appreciate all the nice things you all had to say; it means alot. It is so nice to see Jerry Rose '91 vets (Nick and Charles)+ Jack White (Lancer '97), etc. EXPLANATION TIME RE: "ULTIMATE SACRIFICE"--- I was very impressed with the depth of research (and some of the Secret Service/ Bolden info., most of which came from myself)...the CONCLUSIONS may not (necessarily) have held up as much, circa 2007, but, then again, I am a huge fan of several books for their RESEARCH, not so much the ultimate conclusion (s) contained therein. O.k., I confess: I guess I went a little overboard with the mass "Ultimate Sacrifice is the best book" Amazon reviews lol---this is what happens when you have idle time at work LOL...at that particular juncture, late 2005, I was absolutely CONVINCED that this was going to be THE last major book on the case (honest)...so, warts and all, I wanted to give it a huge "send off", so to speak. This is NOT to excuse my gushing endorsement---time has been kind to the research aspect of the book (and, as David Talbot has even confessed, many 'little gems' contained therein; let's not throw the baby out with the bathwatwer, so to speak), perhaps not the main conclusion (s). Speaking of David Talbot, whose book I love, he phoned me in early 2005 re: his book in progress...and, honestly, I thought "Ultimate Sacrifice" would steal his thunder and his book would never see the light of day (I was absolutely convinced that Waldron and Hartmann's book was THE last major book on the case...there WAS a drought post-Posner, and I didn't even think Bugliosi's would come out [his book is incredible for length, research and being the best LHO-did-it book...BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN i AGREE WITH HIS CONCLUSIONS!!!!! ] So, if I had to do it over again, I would have kept the main review at the "Ultimate Sacrifice" cite and perhaps toned down the other reviews lol. Again, an idle mind is a devil's workshop...and posting reviews at Amazon is easy and free:) Remember, it is the context of the time that determines one's destiny... vince palamara P.S. I DON'T HAVE A HOME COMPUTER (BY CHOICE---LONG STORY) AND I WORK FULL TIME, SO PLEASE BE PATIENT WITH ME LOL

A native of Pittsburgh, PA, Vince Palamara graduated from Duquesne University in 1988 with a degree in Sociology. Although not even born when President John F. Kennedy was brutally assassinated, Vince brings fresh eyes to an old case. In fact, Vince would go on to study the largely overlooked actions - and inactions - of the United States Secret Service in unprecedented detail, as well as achieving a world's record in the process, having interviewed and corresponded with over SEVENTY former agents (the HSCA had the old record of 46 with a 6 million dollar budget and supboena power from Congress), not to mention many surviving family members, White House aides, and even quite a few Parkland and Bethesda medical witnesses for a corresponding project. The result was "Survivor's Guilt; The Secret Service & The Failure To Protect The President", a very successful self-published book that sold thousands of copies in the 1990's before becoming a free online e-book in 2006: http://www.assassinationresearch.com/v4n1.html In addition, the aforementioned corresponding project on the JFK assassination medical evidence, "JFK: The Medical Evidence Reference", Vince's second book, although almost an afterthought to Vince's main area of research, still sold hundreds of copies and was favorably mentioned in books by William Law, R. Andrew Kiel, Prof. James Fetzer, and even Vince Bugliosi. Like his first book, Vince's medical evidence tome became a free online e-book in 2006: http://www.assassinationresearch.com/v4n2.html All told, Vince has been favorably mentioned in over 42 JFK and Secret Service related books to date (including two whole chapters in "Murder In Dealey Plaza", "The Secret Service: The Hidden History Of An Enigmatic Agency" by Prof. Philip Melanson, and the Final Report of the Assassination Records Review Board, among many others), often at length, in the bibliographies, and in the Secret Service - and even medical evidence - areas of these works. Vince has appeared on the History Channel, local cable access television, YouTube, radio, newspapers, print journals, at national conferences, and all over the internet. Also, Vince's original research materials, or copies of said materials, are stored in the National Archives (by request under Deed Of Gift by the ARRB), the JFK Library, Harvard University, the AARC, and the Dallas Public Library. In that time, Vince Palamara has become known (as he was dubbed by the History Channel in 2003) "the Secret Service expert." As former JFK Secret Service agent Joe Paolella proclaimed: "You seem to know a lot about the Secret Service, maybe even more than I do," while fellow JFK Secret Service agent Chuck Zboril stated" "You might be helpful to the official Secret Service historian who works out of Washington!"
