Episode 96 Doug Horne and the View on Multiple Caskets at Bethesda

Episode 216 is the fifth episode covering Joseph Milteer and the radical right wing of America. This episode is  the  third  in a  mini-series wander that gives an overview of the civil rights movement as we traverse through the 1950's and early 1960's.  In episode 216 we continue with our chronology of events in 1960 and 1961 including the freedom bus rides and more. This series begins to explore more broadly  the impact of the civil rights movement and the clash of civilization that began to accelerate in the 1950's. The landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision in Brown versus the Board of Education had a major impact and was a major accelerator after 1954 of change in this country.  This period was one of gestation so to speak related to the growing discontent on both sides of this epic struggle  and it's an important time frame to understand a we set the plate for the civil rights show down that would come to a new and escalating  boil  during the Kennedy administration... and contribute to the events leading to the assassination of President Kennedy.  An assassination that appears to have included the involvement of hard core right wing characters including in some way  Joseph Milteer.

Even as early as 1964, rumors and serious concerns over  the lone gunman theory and the evidence that might contravene it,  were becoming a major concern for the government and the commission. Conspiracy theories were contrary to the government's stated narrative from the very beginning. This  real-life story is more fascinating than fiction.  No matter whether you are a serious researcher or a casual student, you will enjoy the fact filled narrative and story as  we relive one of the most shocking moments in American History. An event that changed the nation and changed the world forever.

Episode 215 is the fourth episode covering Joseph Milteer and the radical right wing of America. This episode is  the  second in a  mini-series wander that gives an overview of the civil rights movement as we traverse through the 1950's and early 1960's.  In part 1 (episode 214) we portray events up through 1959. In today's episode,  we pick up the action in 1960,  and  we tell the story of the Greensboro sit in which occurred in February of that year.  The sit in would resonate with the people  as the quintessential non violent protest...spawning sit ins across the country and mostly in the south where segregated lunch counters were still so prevalent.

Chokeholds is a wonderful new book on the JFK assassination authored by famous JFK assassination researcher James DiEugenio and four of his co-authors Matt Crumpton, Paul Bleau, Andrew Iler and Mark Adamczyk. Three of the five authors are lawyers and the book brings a refreshingly new, and more rigorous,  approach to standards of proof as they would have been applied, had Oswald not been murdered.   It's a great mix of new facts and old and,  and its organization and content  brings order to a complex topic. Several weeks ago, we recorded a live video interview with these gentlemen, and placed it exclusively on our You Tube Channel.  Today,  we offer the audio portion of that interview to our podcast listeners. 

This new book has a fresh new approach and is a masterful and  collaborative effort undertaken by a highly talented group of JFK researchers.  All of whom are friends of mine.  James DiEugenio is best known for his involvement with Oliver Stone,  as Jim wrote the latest Oliver Stone  screenplay JFK Revisited.  Mr. DiEugenio is a retired teacher with four  previously published books on  the JFK assassination and related topics and he is the producer of the website Kennedys and King. Mr. DiEugenio has lectured widely and made many appearances on the subject of the JFK Assassination.  Many of you will recognize Matt Crumpton as one of the newer shining stars these days on the JFK research and podcast scene.  His podcast Solving JFK is one of the most popular podcasts on the subject.  Paul Bleau is another highly talented and  accomplished JFK researcher who has presented at JFK conferences and appeared as a speaker  on various shows covering the JFK assassination topic.  I personally consider Andrew Iler and Mark Adamczyk to be two of the most knowledgeable lawyers around  on the topic of the JFK Records Act.  The Act  is the core reason why we have such wide access to records related to the assassination.  Listen to this fascinating interview with four of the five authors, and if you want to a total experience with  them on the tube, then make your way over to the JFK Enduring Secret You Tube Channel and watch the Video of this interview there.  Either venue will advance your knowledge of the assassination. 

Episode 212 is a special wander back to the autopsy with guest Rick Russo who is my JFK sidekick friend and co-producer of a series of twelve episodes on our JFK Enduing Secret You Tube Channel entitled Mysteries of the Enduring Secret.  Earlier, we completed 30 or so episodes on the fantastic  goings on that encompass this part of the JFK story.   The story at Bethesda and the story of the autopsy.  You may have thought that we were done with the autopsy, but this episodes reveals shocking new evidence.

In this episode, Rick reveals something related to the autopsy at Bethesda  that very few people know about, still to this day...  a fact which  seemingly ties together so much of the incongruent testimony and story telling that confounds the evidence at Bethesda and the autopsy itself. Finally, we can connect the dots in a logical way. What you will hear is far out and fantastic. So don't miss it. And the discussion is not over with this one reach back episode because we are hosting a follow up video  interview and debate  on our Your Tube Channel which features the famed JFK researcher and author William Matson Law and Rick Russo as we go back in time and more fully discuss Rick's finding with two of the most capable JFK subject matter experts on the planet.

 Our episodes have now begun  to explore  an array of matters that  dive into a deeper  darkness  related to what  went on that day in Dallas and in the  period before and after the assassination.  Matters   that possibly point  to a  wider  and more sinister  plot to kill the president and  that clearly call into question the theory that there was a  lone assassin.   Complex cases without  an eyewitness that can actually identify the shooter make the forensic and circumstantial evidence that much more important.  Ironically, problems abound with much of the evidence in this case. Evidence that is complex, incomplete and sometimes conflicting. 

Even as early as 1964, rumors and serious concerns over  the lone gunman theory and the evidence that might contravene it,  were becoming a major concern for the government and the commission. Conspiracy theories were contrary to the government's stated narrative from the very beginning. Stay tuned as there are many more episodes to come!

This series comprehensively explores the major facts,  themes, and  events leading up to the assassination in Dealey Plaza and the equally gripping stories surrounding the subsequent investigation. We  review  key elements of the Warren Commission Report , and the role of the CIA and FBI. We explore the  possible involvement of the Mafia in the murder and the review of that topic by the government's House Select Committee on Assassinations in the 1970's. We explore the Jim Garrison investigation and the work of other key figures such as Mark Lane and others. Learn more about Lee Harvey Oswald the suspected killer and Jack Ruby the distraught Dallas night club owner with underworld ties and the man that killed Oswald as a national TV audience was watching.  Stay with us as we take you through the facts and theories in bite sized discussions that are designed to educate, and inform as well as entertain the audience. This  real life story is more fascinating than fiction. No matter whether you are a serious researcher or a casual student, you will enjoy the fact filled narrative and story as  we relive one of the most shocking moments in American History. An event that changed the nation and changed the world forever.

Episode 211 is the second  in a series covering  Joesph Milteer and the radical right wing of America.     In today's episode we tell the story of Don Adams. Adams was a rookie FBI agent in 1963 who was assigned out of the Atlanta office to work in a rotation out of Quitman Georgia.   As a satellite office,  agents stationed in Quitman covered nine counties in southern Georgia. Because the secret service had no offices in south Georgia, they called on the FBI for help in investigating Milteer.  In both October and November, Willie Somersett an informant for both the Miami Police Department and the FBI,  reported that plots had been discussed involving plans to assassinate president Kennedy.  The first occurring in Indianapolis Indiana at a meeting of several individuals in a hotel room and then again during a conversation that occurred one on one  in Miami at Somersett's apartment with Milteer.  Milteer was party to both meetings. After the November 9th meeting  between Somersett and Milteer,  in Miami, the secret service  received a transcription of the tape recorded conversation where Milteer described the plot that was already in the works. Considering him  a prime suspect, the Secret Service reached out to the Atlanta office of the FBI to track down Milteer and learn more. This is the fascinating story of the FBI deception in the investigation of Milteer that was later uncovered by this rookie agent himself, years after the fact. 

Even as early as 1964, rumors and serious concerns over  the lone gunman theory and the evidence that might contravene it,  were becoming a major concern for the government and the commission. Conspiracy theories were contrary to the government's stated narrative from the very beginning. This  real-life story is more fascinating than fiction.  No matter whether you are a serious researcher or a casual student, you will enjoy the fact filled narrative and story as  we relive one of the most shocking moments in American History. An event that changed the nation and changed the world forever.

Episode 210 is the  first  in a series covering Joseph Milteer and the radical right wing of  America. On November 9th, 1963,  just seven days after the secret service had thwarted the plot in Chicago, an informant working for the intelligence unit of the Miami police department William  Somersett captured an extraordinary conversation on a surveillance tape. As Somersett and Milteer carried on a conversation in Somersett's Miami apartment, Milteer would reveal that a plan was already in the works to assassinate president Kennedy and that it would be done with a high powered rifle with a scope from an office building.  He would go on to say that a suspect would be picked up very shortly after the shooting in order to throw off the investigation.  This was exactly what happened in Dealey Plaza some 13 days later on November 22nd, 1963. Was this a lucky guess by Milteer or was his foreknowledge real. 
Even as early as 1964, rumors and serious concerns over  the lone gunman theory and the evidence that might contravene it,  were becoming a major concern for the government and the commission. Conspiracy theories were contrary to the government's stated narrative from the very beginning. This  real-life story is more fascinating than fiction.  No matter whether you are a serious researcher or a casual student, you will enjoy the fact filled narrative and story as  we relive one of the most shocking moments in American History.

Episode 209 is the twentieth  in a series covering the Secret Service and  possible involvement in the coverup, or the  actual plot itself to assassinate President Kennedy.  Today's episode covers the  plot to  kill the president in Chicago on November 2nd, 1963. just twenty days before his actual assassination in Dallas. President Kennedy was scheduled to attend the Army Airforce Game in Chicago. Several days prior to his arrival,  the FBI phoned the  secret service Chicago office and apprised them  that there was a plot afoot that deployed paramilitary gunman to kill the president. And that they were likely to be aiming at the president as he exited the expressway close to stadium. The clue was provided by a man with the first name of Lee. Shortly after a landlady came across rifles with scopes in one of four rooms that she had rented to four men, she concluded it was suspicious and informed the authorities. The head of the local secret service knew it was the plot that he had been forewarned about by the FBI. For reasons that are still, to this day, not completely clear, the FBI chose to "turf" the case entirely over to the secret service. They did so despite the fact that the secret service had minimal personnel in the Chicago office, consisting only of eight agents at the time. After a surveillance snafu, only two of the four men were identified and taken into custody for questioning. The other two men known to the landlady, were never identified or found. Meanwhile, through an unidentified tip, the authorities became aware of an ex-Marine that turned out to be a perfect patsy. Thomas Arthur Valley. His credentials looked surprisingly like Oswalds...both were marines, both  served in the marines in  japan at bases there, and both bases were CIA fortresses. With a history of far right leanings and connections to the John Birch society and later shown to have trained with  anti-Castro Cubans, Valley had a sketchy mental health background. No doubt that he  would have been  considered a lone nut. A perfect patsy. He had recently taken a job in a manufacturing concern located  in a multi-story building along the motorcade route, close to a point in the road where the president's limousine would come to the end of the expressway and stop, and then make a 90 degree turn.  Eerily similar to the Dealey Plaza scenario. Details of the Chicago plot were  sealed up by the secret service and apparently not made available to the planners in Miami, Tampa and  the Texas trips including Dallas.  It was many years later before the plots were revealed generally.  Was there more to the story. Why were these details withheld from planners in Dallas?
Even as early as 1964, rumors and serious concerns over  the lone gunman theory and the evidence that might contravene it,  were becoming a major concern for the government and the commission. Conspiracy theories were contrary to the government's stated narrative from the very beginning. This  real-life story is more fascinating than fiction.  No matter whether you are a serious researcher or a casual student, you will enjoy the fact filled narrative and story as  we relive one of the most shocking moments in American History. An event that changed the nation and changed the world forever.
