Just Three Weeks Before Dallas, Feds Uncovered Plot to Kill JFK in Chicago, Says Ex-Secret Service Agent By CHUCK GOUDIE, WLS-TV
Nov. 22, 2007
A former Secret Service agent has told WLS-TV there was a plot to kill President Kennedy in Chicago three weeks before he was assassinated in Dallas.
Kennedy was murdered on Nov. 22, 1963. Today is the 44th anniversary of JFK's assassination.
Lee Harvey Oswald would never have had the chance to kill Kennedy in Dallas, had an assassination plot in Chicago succeeded three weeks earlier, a plot that has been mentioned over the years.
Kennedy was due to arrive in Chicago the morning of Nov. 2 to attend the Army-Air Force football game at Soldier Field and ride in a parade. Newspapers had even printed JFK's detailed travel plan from O'Hare airport to the Loop.
Although police were preparing to line the motorcade route, Secret Service officials in Chicago were deeply troubled about the visit because of two secret threats.
Right-wing radical and Kennedy denouncer Thomas Vallee had arranged to be off work for JFK's visit; Vallee, an expert marksman, was arrested with an M1 rifle, a handgun and 3,000 rounds of ammo. But then there was the phone call to federal agents from a motel manager concerning what she'd seen in a room rented by two Cuban nationals.
"Had seen lying on the bed several automatic rifles with telescopic sights, with an outline of the route that President Kennedy was supposed to take in Chicago that would bring him past that building," said former Secret Service agent Abraham Bolden....
That looks like a Harmony.........
Rove - a genius even at 12! Infant savant or l’enfant terriblé?
I am already part of the upper-echelon, thankyewverymuch. I even got my secret decoder ring!
You can get in touch with me through your Bohemian Grove representative.
We'll do lunch.
Heh, heh!
That’s just as believable as all these other crackpot theories.
BTW, my fillings have been playing “NPR Morning Edition” for years (my former dentist was a liberal, I know it!).
;^)
Also, we never hear about many other plots against other Presidents over the years. (Law enforcement is always reluctant to let slip info about their "methods and procedures," which could be useful to plotters.) Why is this one, by "right-wing extremists," being dredged up now, even though nothing ever happened? Meanwhile the MSM ignore what defected Communist intelligence chief Ion Mihai Pacepa said about Oswald (who actually did kill JFK and nearly killed "right-wing' General Walker) and the KGB.
He was one of theirs.
Actually, it was Arkancide.
“continuing to Houston International Airport where we spent the night at the Shamrock Hilton, not far from the airport. “
LOL
Wow! Where you on a debate team? Must have crushed to competitions with rebuttals like that! What underwhelming evidence coming from someone who never read the book! News for you pal, his eveidnece is based on the film, not in tin-foil armchair quarterback ballistic experts. On Nov 24th @ 10pm EST, the History Channel is re-running 'Kennedy Assassination - Beyond Conspiracy', which backs up all Posners assertions with facts and debunks all the lunacy of this killing!
Shut up, Dale.
Again, from Waldron and Hartmann, Ultimate Sacrifice, p. 643:
"A 1967 CIA memo cited earlier ... may provide a clue to the two suspects' identities. The memo said that Abraham Bolden 'was prevented from testifying for the Warren Commission that the Secret Service knew of a plot to assassinate Kennedy in Chicago by members of a dissident Cuban group.' A review of almost all the known articles and interviews with Bolden -- including our own -- doesn't show him using the phrase 'dissident Cuban group' [footnote: 12-12-67 CIA Memo to Director of Security, #272141]. From what we have been able to find, Bolden said only that two of the suspects were named 'Gonzales' and 'Rodriguez,' not that they were Cuban or part of any sort of exile group.
How is this considered new news? I remember reading about the assassination plot in Chicago at least 25 years ago. appleharvey
"The CIA memo was dated December 12, 1967 and was probably prompted by an Associated Press article about Bolden, headlined in the December 6, 1967 New York Times as 'Plot on Kennedy in Chicago Told.' [footnote New York Times, 12-6-67.]" (Ultimate Sacrifice, p. 643)
Why is this one, by "right-wing extremists," being dredged up now? hellbender
"In its brief article, the Chicago Daily News (footnote: 12-3-63) said that Vallee's 'apartment contained John Birch Society literature' and that Vallee himself claimed 'he is a 'disaffiliated' member of the John Birch Society.' It's unclear what 'disaffiliated' means in relation to Vallee, but maybe it means he didn't really associate with Birchers and only pretended to be one, while having their literature in his apartment. That would be similar to Oswald, who only pretended to be a pro-Castro Communist -- while avoiding real American Commnists and Castro sympathizers -- even though Oswald's apartment was filled with pro-Castro, Communist literature." (Ultimate Sacrifice, p. 629).
No the photo has been used for several years by a guitar dealer in his ads in Vintage Guitar Magazine. The guitar does look like a Tele copy. Pickguard shape ain’t quite right.
Google image search, actually.
Now that’s funny!!!
Never noticed this before, but the man in the light suit and hat next to Oswald does not look one bit surprised or afraid. He’s looking right at Ruby’s face as if he’s analyzing him, not looking at the gun or action at all.
And he was a very good Catholic, as was his daddy before him.
