44 Years After JFK's Death, New Assassination Plot Revealed

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....

I happen to know it was Connelly and Johnson.....

Johnson wanted to be Pres. and the only he could be was to have JFK knocked off; Connelly wanted to be Secty. of State to Johnson....then the mob got upset because Bobby was going after them after JFK’s dad paid them to get JFK in office....

MY PROOF: Kunich (the one running for POTUS) said that a ‘tree’ told him and he told Shirley and its come down the grapevine....

Thank you very much for clearing this matter up. I have been awaiting the time someone would step up to the plate and confirm my observations!

. All the wounds were through soft tissue (not shattering bone)

That part simply isn't accurate. The 'magic bullet' took out a chunk of rib and shattered a bone in the Governor's arm. (And that would have been after it went through Kennedy.) It was found in almost pristine condition on the stretcher.

It’s even worse than you are thinking. Houston International Airport was not opened until 1969.

He would have come into Ellington Field and that isn’t very close to the Shamrock either.

He had to be talking about Hobby and it was a long ways out, close to Pearland and narrow black top roads.

He mentioned Trans Texas Airline AKA (Tree Top Airline) so it was Hobby but Even though I flew out of Hobby in the fifties and sixties, I do not remember any international flights.

To fly international, we had to fly out of Miami during that time.

James Anthony Traficant, Jr. (born May 8, 1941) is a former Democratic Representative in the United States Congress from Ohio (from 1985 to 2002). He was expelled after being convicted of taking bribes, filing false tax returns, racketeering, and forcing his aides to perform chores at his farm in Ohio and on his houseboat in Washington, D.C.,[1] and is currently serving out an eight-year prison term with a projected release date of September 2, 2009.[2]
Santo Trafficante Jr.:
In 1978, appearing before a House panel looking into assassinations of political figures, Mr. Trafficante said he participated in an alleged CIA assassination plot against Castro because "I thought I was helping the United States government."

Who Killed JFK? - An Interview With Lamar Waldron

With the help of almost two dozen people who worked with John and Robert Kennedy–backed up by thousands of documents in the National Archives–we discovered that JFK and his brother had a never-before-revealed plan to stage a coup against Castro on December 1, 1963. The CIA’s code-name for their part of the plan–AMWORLD–has never appeared in print before, and was withheld from the Warren Commission and later Congressional investigating committees. As part of the coup plan, in the days and weeks before Dallas, Robert Kennedy even had a top secret committee making plans for dealing with the possible “assassination of American officials,” in case Castro found out about the coup plan and tried to retaliate.However, the Kennedy’s coup plan was infiltrated by three powerful Mafia bosses being targeted by Attorney General Robert Kennedy: Johnny Rosselli of the Chicago Mafia, Tampa godfather Santo Trafficante, and Carlos Marcello (godfather of Louisiana and east Texas). The Mafia dons used parts of the secret coup plan to try and assassinate JFK first in Chicago (on 11-2-63), then in Tampa (on 11-18-63, an attempt never revealed before), and finally in Dallas. By planting evidence implicating Castro, the mob bosses prevented Robert Kennedy and other key officials from conducting a thorough investigation, in order to protect the coup plan and prevent nuclear confrontation with the Russians.

Wrong. Google William P. Hobby Airport. It was named "Houston International Airport" in 1954 before getting the William P. Hobby name in 1967

Never lived there and just an infant when the Kennedy assassination took place, but the airport and hotel portion of this statement fits. Hoobby Airport was called Houston International at that time and by current Google Maps data the Shamrock hotel location was about 22 minutes away.

Your info about the mob is true unless Roselli lied. He said that Giancana sent him and another guy to ask Joe K. to remind the boys how they came to power. Reference to mafia exercising union power in WVA to defeat Humphrey in the primary.

Joe K. said he would talk to them when they got together at Christmas. Joe stroked out before that.

I'm not informed enough to believe the conspiracy stories one way or the other, but it seems clear that the mafia had plenty of motivation.

Which goes to show that there are a few ‘Perry Masons’ left who must think for themselves, not accept what they’re told! :^)

Yes, I looked it up and even though I flew out of it, I did not know it started international flights in 54.

I was at least 1 hour from the Shamrock in that time period because of the narrow high traffic roads.
