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.
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)

"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).
