Courtesy of Vince Palamara. Don Adams directly investigated Milteer right after the Miami threat. He was stunned JFK was assassinated just as Milteer foreshadowed. I am sure many have seen this. Hopefully a few haven't and it provides some insight.

Exactly DC.

And you have me with your "smoking barbecue on your Webber" hobby interest skills. I can taste your mouth watering delicious cooking's right now! 

Milter should have been on the highest level of the most serious JFK threat scale. That Miami tape so shook up the Mimi police department they cancelled JFK's motorcade to the stadium that weekend.

The Miami police department acted more responsibly than the SS and FBI in that area of presidential protection.

its called moral ambiguity:

“The Free Cuba Committee” was headed by ex-Cuban president, Dr. Carlos Prio Socarras and Eladio Del Valle. Prio’s 1948 regime was so corrupt that not even the Syndicate could function. He was involved in the 1961 failed invasion of Cuba at the Bay of Pigs and also linked in testimony with CIA contract officer Frank Fiorini [aka Frank Sturgis] and long time gambling buddy, Jack Ruby. Prio was first introduced to JFK by Sturgis. A CIA memo confirms “Luis Somoza” was also involved with the unscrupulous former president of Cuba who was linked to Tony Varona. Prio had mentored and initiated Varona into the criminal underworld of Santo Trafficante. Varona's handler was CIA officer Emilio A. Rodriguez under the guidance of Antonio Sforza at JMWAVE. Prio had originally given enormous amounts of cash to Castro in hopes he could be controlled. One CIA report labels “Prio, an inveterate intriguer [who] has often demonstrated a complete lack of scruples in his actions.” The account says that in Cuba “during his administration, official corruption and gangsterism are known to have flourished, and he, like many of his colleagues, is reported to have profited considerably at public expense.” In 1977 the 73-year-old exile leader shot himself with a black, .38-caliber snub-nose revolver and left no suicide note.

Fascinating and hugely important historical info DC.

No wonder Castro was able to gain control. Cuba was ripe for a revolution.

For decades before 1960 Cuba was one of the most corrupt countries on Earth. Corrupt politicians and organized crime and multi-national corporation ownership all ripping off everything they could out of that country...at the expense of the lowest income citizenry, the huge majority of their population. 

Same old 3rd world nation stripping of wealth and resources by a relatively small group of obsessed profiteer's story. The vast majority of average American citizens never saw any gain at all in that game. Just a small group of super wealthy.

That sounds incredibly incompetent, but it appears that their practices of the time did not consider mobile threats.  On the other hand since the related SS travel files for that period appear to have been destroyed, we can't be totally sure of that.

The SS and FBI should have been all over Milteer continuously from the day they listened to the Miami tape where he told National States Rights informant William Somersette that an attempt on JFK's life was "in the workings."

With Milteer even detailing the MO of the attempt..."with a high powered rifle from an office building " and how the police would be thrown off track with a duped patsy picked up within hours as the guilty party.

Milteer laid out to Somersette the exact scene that took place in Dallas just two weeks later!

Either Milteer was just uncannily lucky in a coincidental way, highly psychic or... he really did know "the plan" imo.

My common sense tells me Milteer and his detailed threat against JFK might have been the most serious threat against JFK in the nation at that time. Top of the SS and FBI list!

Milteer was a super aggressive, dangerous, serious minded racist provocateur, who was quite wealthy and the FBI knew he had been traveling out-of-state lines and involved in some really serious racially motivated crimes. A known and provenly dangerous character and who hated JFK with a rabid murderous wishing degree. The FBI knew this totally.

After the Miami tape, to not be all over this guy24/7 until JFK's election campaign tour was finished and JFK was safely back in DC was so illogical it was highly suspect.

Wonder what top mobsters Jada was close to in New Orleans? Maybe even Carlos Marcello himself?

Surely with her hyper sexual movie star beauty looks ( seriously Marilyn Monroe level imo ) she attracted men from the top tier of power and wealth.

I was curious about the Jada TI accident story years ago.

Hard to speculate without knowing more details and corroborating testimony.

Let us say Jada really was trying to "get out of town" that morning. And when the accident occurred she exhibited much nervous anxiety, not because she thought she seriously hurt this person she hit, but rather for some other reason.

She reportedly told someone at the accident scene, "can't we get this over with?" and that she had to go to New Orleans. 

If those two actions were true I wonder why she was leaving Dallas and the Carousel Club on a Friday morning.

Was her professional relationship with Jack Ruby over with on that day? Was she no longer stripping at the Carousel Club?

If she was still stripping at the Carousel...you would think that Friday night would be the main night to showcase their feature stripper.

So, if her Carousel Club employment gig was over, perhaps going back to New Orleans that day was no big deal? She was stripping in New Orleans right up until she came to Dallas and started working for Jack Ruby. Maybe she was going back there to start over?

If Jada actually heard something about the JFKA ahead of time however...the story of her frantic flight out of Dallas that morning takes on a monumentally important and suspicious truth shaking turn.

Ruby and Jada clashed. Things became very volatile between them at one point. One story was that Jack Ruby made an implied threat to Jada during one of their heated arguments. To which Jada reportedly fired back at Jack that if he tried anything, she had friends that would put him up on a meat hook.

I can believe Jada knew some very serious Mafia figures in her employment in New Orleans especially. She was the hottest strip tease girl there for quite awhile. That was Marcello country. 

Mobsters loved strippers back then. Candy Barr became Mikey Cohen's girl in LA for years. 

Candy Barr was one of the most famous of strippers in her day. But, imo, Jada was the most physically beautiful stripper of them all. More attractive than Candy Barr.

When Chris became interested in the JFK case years later, Grandaddy gave him an old envelope containing Ruby's signed business card.  A cute piece of memorabilia he has in a glass case which he displayed to us on the Zoom session.

Did the Jack Ruby signed Carousel Club business card shown to Chris by his grandaddy have the message you cite anywhere on the card? "Everyone's going to know who Jack Ruby is soon." ?

I don't feel Jack Ruby would ever write something like that down on any card or document ever.

Johnson was obsessed with RFK's candidacy, and I think one reason he dropped out is that he could not take the humiliation of losing to him.

I believe LBJ was terrified at the prospect of an RFK presidency for other reasons way more personally threatening than a humiliation one.

He knew RFK had the goods on him and his massive personal corruption. And LBJ knew RFK was aggressive enough to actually go after LBJ with the full power of the presidency.

LBJ always feared this scenario as well as the following two:

RFK would have also gone after LBJ's closest ( like brothers ) mutual protection and enabling friend J. Edgar Hoover as well and in the least immediately dumped Hoover into political exile obscurity.

LBJ and J.E. Hoover would have been toast.

And, LBJ had to have feared RFK going all out in a new investigation into JFK's murder as well.

AND ... RFK could have ran roughshod over the Mafia ( which no president ever did ) and which was always one of RFK's longest and most passionately held goals.

When you've got LBJ, Hoover, the Mafia all fearing your presidency to the ultimate degree and also highest position covert operatives choosing to bestow more respect upon Mafia leaders (Johnny Roselli and William Harvey) than a president ( Harvey thought the Kennedy's were all scum according to his wife's taped account ) your chances at making it to the general election alive are zero to none.

Those players played for keeps.

Outside this forum, I am part of the 99.9% of scholars and researchers who acknowledge that Prouty was a crackpot.

IMO, a reasonable person is forced to ask this question:

How does a person justify labeling someone of Prouty's uncommonly high responsibility life-time achievement background with one of the most extreme mentally illness indicating terms of "crackpot?"

Anyone reading the decades long bio of Prouty and his constant rise in high military/government responsibility positions all the way to the Joint Chief Of Staff and the even the White House... and with praise from some of the highest command military generals like Victor Krulak, one has to suspend their rational common sense to ignore and dismiss Prouty's intelligent and rational traits needed to achieve such and the extremely high respect for him at that level.

Prouty was extremely intelligent. He wrote coherent and interesting books and papers which indicated a learned man of history both military and political.

Vince Bugliosi in his 50lb door stop JFKA book "Reclaiming History" resorted to this same juvenile criticism about anyone who suspected a conspiracy in the JFKA. He must have called them Lunatics, Kooks, Crackpots, Nut Cases and a dozen more basest mentally ill labeling names 100 times in his book. 

IMO that reflected an emotional insecurity flaw with Bugliosi more than the people he was trying to disparage. Those extremely exaggerated labels were as irrational and immature as a junior high school kid's bullying taunts. 

If Bugliosi's JFKA conspiracy debunking research findings are that provenly strong and valid, they wouldn't need to be infused over and over with junior high school bully taunts and name calling insults toward his JFKA belief adversaries which childishly debases his entire thesis presentation, imo anyways.

Jack Ruby always owned a gun.

Carousel Club errand man Larry Crafard and others testified he would keep the gun in a bag and maybe in his car. And even carry it on his person while transporting cash to deposit in his bank.

Didn't Ruby run into some gun ownership and carrying legal problems with the Dallas PD years before 11/22/1963?

One can reasonably assume from the testimony of those who knew Ruby and/or worked closely with him at the Carousel Club, he usually didn't keep his gun on his person. 

I don't think Ruby kept it on his person when he went to his synagogue, or to the YMCA gym, to visit his sister, etc. etc.

When Ruby was MCing his club act I doubt he kept his gun on his person. Probably kept it in his office. Maybe in a drawer or in his safe?

I have read where Ruby did keep brass knuckles on his person semi-regularly and possibly while doing his show in case he had to perform some serious lesson teaching bashing of any unruly customer who dared fight him back while he threw them down the entrance stairs and/or beat their brains out on the sidewalk. To which one of his strippers recalled once seeing him do this and then standing up and with a look of bewilderment shout to no one in particular..."why am I doing this?"

Ruby's gun, brass knuckles and gym punching bag training, etc. suggest to me a Mafia muscle experience type person. One who knows what he needs to carry and use to handle any enforcer message job that may come his way.

Which leads me to ponder the following facts:

Ruby runs to the Dallas PD building and enters it the evening of 11/22/1963?

He is worked up after an afternoon of anguished tears and crying about the loss of our beloved president and the plight of his traumatized young wife.

He decides to literally thrust himself into the DPD building and the middle of the bustling press crowd which he must have known was risky with someone important among the DPD very possibly recognizing him and telling him to leave.

The police had to have had at least some concern about who was running into their building in that frantic Oswald presence time. Maybe even stationing guards at the entrance?

Most of the police hated the fact that they had to fight through crowds of press people and their cameras and cables to do their job. Chief Curry insisted this press crush be there however, to show the world he and his department weren't physically abusing Oswald.

Tacky strip club owning Ruby just saunters into that unprecedented frantic security scene though, like he just sauntered into the other super heightened security scene DPD basement just 44 hours later on 11/24/1963?

And both times Ruby is carrying his pistol to boot!

He knew that beyond his risky entrance and presence in the DPD building during the most heightened security time in their history, that if he was stopped and found to be carrying his gun he could have been asked to leave and dressed down by even his buddies in the department.

Bringing in deli sandwiches into the DPD building late at night to hand out to his friends there on a slow night was just not the same as going in there armed the evening of 11/22/1963 when the entire scene was a super frantic security armed camp.

My ponderances are why Ruby felt he needed his gun on his person upon thrusting himself into the DPD building that evening.

Especially when he knew the scene there would be hyper-security minded charged and touchy.

He certainly also knew he didn't need his gun for his own personal protection there at all. So why did he bring it?

To me it was clear that Ruby brought his gun into the building to try to get to Oswald and do him in. Just as he did on the morning of 11/24/1963 inside the DPD basement just before Oswald was led to within feet of him where he could blow a hole into Oswald's guts.

Again, going into the DPD parking basement Ruby knew he didn't need his gun on him for his own protection.

Arming himself in penetrating both those scenes showed only one intent. To use his gun in a killing or seriously harming of Oswald ...if he got the chance.

Totally premeditative thought process. 

If Ruby really just innocently happened to be at the Western Union office within walking distance to the DPD basement just minutes before Oswald's transfer from there and also out of innocent curiosity decided to see what the outside crowd scene was all about to the degree of walking down there...It is totally illogical to think he should arm himself while doing so, and not simply leave his gun locked in his car.

Ruby transferred what...$25 to Little Lynn on his visit to the Western Union office? He felt he had to carry his gun while doing so? $25 to $30 in cash on his person made him feel that vulnerable?

Ruby knew the afternoon of 11/22/1963 he had to get to Oswald. And everyone knew then and now it wasn't to prove Jews had guts or to save Jackie Kennedy from more pain and suffering.

As Seth Kantor well established through solid research, Ruby was a bag man, a gun runner, a pimp, a gambling facilitator, mob errand boy when called on (his Cuba trip to help Mafia Don Santos Trafficante get out of prison there ) and even at times an FBI informant even if rarely and low level.

All those proven nefarious background facts regards the real Jack Ruby, forces you to strongly suspect that his actions on the weekend of 11/22/1963 through 11/24/1963 were motivated by what Ruby himself described..." outside forces/people who put him in the situation he found himself in" after shooting Oswald.

Are those people in high positions Jack? Ruby..."yes."

Stones references to Lansdale in the film were no more visible than a quick back side shot of suited man walking by the three tramps and a small wooden name plate partially obscured on a desk.

98 % of viewers of that film surely didn't even know who General Lansdale was as well as Prouty and Newman.

Stone's film didn't advertise them personally. So criticism of Stone for that charge is mute.

Member McClean's and Ms. Sharpe's postings are amazingly deep, heady and I sense more importantly revealing than I had imagined.

I try to keep up with them as best I can, but they reflect research way beyond my pay grade.

Most of the time I kind of get lost trying to understand the myriad of connections between the major players they cover and where it all leads.

However, the more I read the more I "think" I may be grasping not just the reality of this massive world-wide connected web of covert power and action subterfuge but maybe to some degree what it all means in the larger picture of world events, including the JFKA.

It leads me to consider the following possible scenario:

That there was an ever growing self-interest corruption in the covert world of world governments, wealth and power that the average citizens of the world back then ( and still now?)  were just obliviously unaware of. 

A much more powerful, influential and interconnected corruption than one could imagine. Corruption that lead to the worst kinds of democratic society principles abuses and crimes.

60 years ago the intrepid Mae Brussell was uncovering this interconnected corruption world with her huge and all on her own research effort. Her findings were shocking, even scary, but still so randomly new and scattered one had a hard time making sense of it all.

I think our mentioned members here are now making much more sense of it all to a degree that one can now begin to understand the connections and how they add up to the truth behind so many world events that have and are still shaping our world around us.

I think I understand the post WW II political reality of a real existential threat to world democracies from the communist powers who were truly trying to undermine them with extremely aggressive actions globally. And why we were justified in combating them globally. 

Yet, in that initial logical effort, things more and more started taking dark turns with a growing self-interest corruption factor.

Which in my mind explains the JFKA as well as the MLK and RFK assassinations and who knows what other major events during those time including Nixon and Watergate.

Members like McClean and Sharpe are finding and putting the covert corruption dark  secrets puzzle pieces in their correct places to reveal and complete the fuller truth picture imo.

Kudos to them and their like-minded, skilled and huge effort committed contributors.

Just my two cents.

I think the speculation that Nixon knew of the plot or was involved in the plot is the kind of speculation that does great harm to the case for conspiracy. If we assume the plotters were right-wingers, they would have been furious with Nixon and would not have let him get reelected. Why? Between January 1969 and October 1972, Nixon

-- began withdrawing large numbers of troops from South Vietnam five months after taking office--by December 1971, he had withdrawn nearly 400,000 troops

-- created the EPA in 1970

-- tried hard to push through Congress a huge expansion of federal welfare called the Family Assistance Program (FAP) that would have made 13 million more people eligible for federal assistance--the FAP passed the House in April 1970 but Southern conservatives killed it in the Senate (twice)

-- earmarked $100 million for cancer research, far more than any other president had spent on such research

-- initiated the desegregation of Southern schools

-- increased funding for the Bureau of Indian Affairs by 225 percent, doubled funds for American Indian health care, and established the Office of Indian Water Rights

-- extended Affirmative Action in federal employment

-- restrained defense spending so that by August 1972 defense spending took the lowest percentage of GNP since the early 1950s

-- substantially increased Social Security benefits.

Yes, this is a reality about Nixon that at least shows he had a liberal bent when it came to the working class and poor ( including black Americans ) and trying to improve their lives and opportunities. I believe he also initiated some measures to keep the massive health insurance industry under at least some control regards their incessant huge money lobbying push to raise their rates and see their profits explode. Which future Presidents and members of Congress pulled back.  

Yet, imo Nixon was also so obsessively ambitious in his quest for the Presidency he was willing to okay ( if not order ) some of the most unethical, constitutional law violating actions to obtain and keep it.

We all know the crimes Nixon's Plumber's committed ( and which were stated as just "the tip of the iceberg" ) and Nixon was made aware of through plausible deniability channels. Nixon's entire highest level staff ALL went to prison! What 25 or more!

Nixon was their ringleader!

Ford pardoned the ringleader to save the country from more pain?

That pardon outraged more Americans than not. How dare you Ford! Saving your highest crime committing buddy did not save the country from more anger, angst and governmental mistrust. It did the opposite!

Instead it sent the absolute worst message possible. That there are people in this country who "are" above the law. Ford was an ardent admirer and enabler of Nixon...from way back. Everyone knew his Nixon pardon was a back room deal to protect and save his buddy. Not to save the country.

Ford's embarrassing 1976 Presidential election loss to a laughably wide toothy grinning peanut farmer from sticksville Plains Georgia was sweet justice.

Well, I guess the LHO-cyborg is not all that great at football. SB loser. 

I thought Purdy did "okay." Not great, but not bad. Just not good enough.

You could tell that Purdy just doesn't have the over-all physical talent skill set Patrick Mahomes has. Mahomes is a very fast and agile, dodging moves runner. Close to being as fast as his backs and receivers.

Mahomes made most of his best passes after running out of his pocket. His speed gave him more time to set himself to do so.

Slower runner Purdy got run down very quickly 80% of time he ran out of the pocket. And usually by linemen and linebackers who are not the fastest players on their defense teams.

Also, Purdy is just too short imo. Every game I watch him it seems 3 or 4 of his passes don't make it over the outstretched arms of the other team's defensive linemen who are often 6 inches taller than him. 

Purdy looks like a peach fuzz faced teenager to me. It looks like he hardly has to shave. And Purdy never has any expression on his face. It's just a flat non-emotional look. Again. like Lee Harvey Oswald?

Still I like him for the reasons I stated earlier. Hope he has a good career.

Loved the zoom-in shots of Taylor Swift jumping, squealing, hugging and high fiving like a love-struck cheerleader in her luxury booth. Also, the beautiful Blake Lively was right there with her.

I don't know. I think the Swift/Kelce romance thing added to the whole affair. Something more than the big butt tough guy slamming and tackling.

Something more reflective and inclusive of our broader societal culture? A high school girl/football player boyfriend romance story? 

Oh, and looking more closely at Purdy's face sans his helmet ( especially his profile ) He looks more like Oswald than I previously considered. 

And like I mentioned earlier...if the main stream sports media critics put too much blame on Purdy for the 49er loss...he really would be justified in making a public statement repeating Lee Harvey Oswald's most famous phrase...

An accurate timeline relevant to this issue has been offered several times, but is consistently misrepresented by persons who approach the topic as a means of scoring partisan points rather than establishing the facts.

Prouty was part of an interested group (I think loosely connected to Richard Sprague) who had access to high-quality 8x10 copies of photos taken in Dealey Plaza. The complete set of “Tramps” photos was part of this collection. This is late 60s/early 70s -  second generation pre-HSCA era. Sprague was publishing assassination related articles in his journal Computers and Automation.

Prouty would later say he immediately recognized Lansdale in the one photo, but did not speak of it to  his colleagues.

Prouty, with Sprague collating photos, published his first assassination related article “Guns of Dallas” in 1975. This article features a brief discussion of the Tramp photos (as well as referencing the Military Intelligence stand down later misrepresented by the ARRB panel). No mention of Lansdale.                    https://www.ratical.org/ratville/JFK/GoD.html

Prouty contacted Krulak regarding the Tramp photos in early 1985 - more than a decade after initially viewing the photos. Krulak’s response is dated March 15, 1985. He says: “That is indeed a picture of Ed Lansdale . The haircut, the stoop, the twisted left hand, the large class ring. It's Lansdale. “

To be consistent, at this point the self-styled Prouty critics should be identifying Krulak himself as a “crackpot and fraud.” But they won’t do that because Krulak retains a stellar reputation for personal integrity, and the critics would themselves become the laughing-stocks. So instead they posit, apropos of nothing but their partisan imaginations, that the letter is a “forgery” ( note that in December 1963 Krulak celebrated Prouty’s military career with a Letter of Appreciation for his “outstanding performance of duty”: “your unique knowledge and appreciation of the inner-relationship of political and military factors have contributed materially to the achievement of national objectives…You take with you both the gratitude of your associates and the confident hope that in your forth-coming responsibilities in civilian life you will profit from the same high standards that have characterized your outstanding service with the Organization of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.” This is the person certain posters on EF claim is an “extreme fringe kook.”)

Five years later (March 1990), Prouty writes his “Lansdale hypothesis” letter to Garrison. He doesn’t directly ID Krulak when he writes: “Others who knew Lansdale as well as I did, have said the same thing, ‘That's him and what's he doing there?’ “ Portions of this letter make their way into the "JFK" script.

Prouty did however mention in confidence Krulak’s ID to his colleague Harrison Livingstone - who, for reasons of his own, broke Prouty’s trust, publicized the issue, and made a direct cold call to Krulak, who understandably reacted defensively. Krulake, however, did not refute his communication five years previously with Prouty - another matter which is consistently misrepresented by agenda-driven partisans. It was Livingstone who broke this information publicly, not Prouty. Livingstone had been difficult at the time with Stone and the "JFK" office, which Stone refers to in his published response to Esquire's hit piece on the film.

Totally agree with your postulation here JC. Krulak's praise of Prouty and his stellar career back when Prouty retired in the early 60's is important. Did Krulak let Livingstone know if he felt Prouty had flat out lied about Krulak IDing Lansdale in the Tramp photo?

You would think Krulak would have personally called Prouty and complained to him about the inference of his (Krulak's ) take on the Tramp photo. I assume Krulak never complained to Prouty personally about it...correct?

The national anticipation level for this particular Super Bowl is the highest in my memory. It's all anybody is talking about! 

The streets here are absolutely empty with no traffic...not even the "sounds" of cars.

The sound vacuum is even more pronounced than the typical "Super Bowl Silence" Sunday. I don't even hear birds chirping.

It reminds me of the JFKA day, or the live broadcast of Lee Harvey Oswald being lead through the basement of the Dallas Police Department event on 11/24/1963!

The local grocery stores and their parking lots yesterday resembled the Trump worked up riot insurrection crowds on January 6th, 2021! People fighting over parking spaces, charging through the store entrances, and once inside ramming into each other's grocery carts fighting over shelf-depleted avocados, dips and chips, scrambling for packed check-out line space and looking like they were in a totally stressed trance ready to do a Jack Ruby 38 special pulling freak out thing from it all.

I saw this because I was doing the same thing - grabbing jars of salsa, chips, and ready-to-eat ripe avocados out of more infirm shopper's hands! Ignoring angry shouts of "HEY, that's MINE you SOB!"

I don't have a confident theory about this unprecedented "Lourdes Vision" anticipation level societal Super Bowl event this year. I don't know if we should light candles and get on our knees and pray during the game or simply "twist and shout" and do high fives and fist bumps and hip grinds.

However, I strongly suspect the TAYLOR SWIFT "Lourdes Vision" factor may have a lot to do with this beyond Holy Sunday reverence thing.

"LOOK...SHE'S ACTUALLY HERE!" Gasps and signs of the cross!

Her almost immaculate inspiration presence has transfixed millions of Americans and other fans across the globe, drawing in a female audience unlike anything the sport of professional football and their marketers ever imagined. 

I think the usually "super hyped" half-time show should match this unparalleled viewership interest phenomena.

I would just show a non-stop, twenty minute long clip montage of Taylor Swift and K.C. Chief tight end Travis Kelsey engaged in steamy hot make out sessions ...

Now THAT would knock everyone's socks off and make this Super Bowl the most exciting ever and turn on millions of TV viewing family and friend's parties into "YEAH BABY...GO TAYLOR AND TRAVIS!" cheering frenzies.

And how about Travis Kelse getting on his knees during this half-time event and proposing to Swift right there!

This Super Bowl Sunday will surely be the wildest and most exciting ever! Thanks to the Taylor Swift presence and her epic Travis Kelsey romance.

This event has truly evolved into the "TAYLOR SWIFT" Super Bowl.

The Brock Purdy/Lee Oswald doppelganger story just adds even more high interest energy to this almost religious frenzy worldwide societal grabbing event. IMO anyways.

Weird that Brock Purdy is the exact same age ( 24 ) as Lee Harvey Oswald was when Jack Ruby whacked him in the midst of 70+ armed security personnel right inside the Dallas PD building.

Just hope the media doesn't refer to Purdy by his full three names "Brock Richard Purdy" if he loses and millions of 49er bettors feel he was to blame. 

Seems calling someone by their full 3 names is somewhat of a target setting curse.

And let's not forget that Prouty also made the fantastic claim that Lucien Conein was in Dealey Plaza too, despite the fact that Conein was in South Vietnam at the time.

We should also keep in mind that Prouty's website still claims that Victor Krulak identified the man with his back to the camera in the tramp photo as Lansdale, even though we know from Harrison Livingstone's recorded interview with Krulak that Krulak did no such thing. 

It should be noted that Prouty did not float his obscene claims about Lansdale until after Lansdale died in 1987.

Was Krulak alive when Prouty published his claim regarding Krulak IDing Lansdale in the three tramps photo?

the Texas Theater witnessing the arrest of LHO. Odum, himself made a
statement (HSCA document #01431) describing his observing the arrest.

His statement begins: "At approximately 2 p.m., November 22, 1963, I
was informed by an unidentified policeman of the DPD that a suspect
had been seen entering the back door of the Texas Theater. I
immediately proceeded to the Texas Theater...."

Dallas police radio transcripts reveal that at 1:51 pm. car No. 2
radioed to the dispatcher that they were on their way in with the
suspect (WR. p, 179).

Talk about double Oswalds, now we have a double Odum.

In Dallas, the agent was well acquainted with Michael and Ruth
Paine. Mike called the agent BOB; Ruth called him Mr. Odum and
sometimes Hart.

Additional notes on the bard:
Odum was never called before the Warren Commission and the only time he surfaces during the hearings was during Sylvio Odio's testimony. He walked in, stayed for only a few minutes, and left the room. Odum had also been present in Dallas Police HQ when the bogus photo of Oswald arrived from MC; despite Hosty's insistent the photo wasn't Oswald, Bard insisted that they take the photo to Marina for identification (where they were blocked by Marguerite).

Never asked to testify before the Warren Commission? 

With all his firsthand engagement with many of the most important principles?

Typical selective investigative process.
