Solving JFK

We speak with Secret Service expert Vince Palamara about various anomalies with the President's protection in Dallas on November 22, 1963, including the agent's being hungover, the bubble top removal, the planning of the route, the removal of motorcycles alongside the vehicle, and the rearranging of the motorcade personnel (including removing the press truck). Part 2 will be out this Frida...

In this episode, we review Bolden’s claim that, on November 2, 1963, in addition to a potential threat from lone gunman, Thomas Arthur Vallee, there was also a failed plot against President Kennedy in Chicago by four men who had rifles. Bolden says that the Secret Service covered up the Chicago plot, and then, when he tried to come forward to the Warren Commission, he was framed for a crime, which...

In this episode on the Secret Service, we’ll try to wrap up the remaining issues surrounding the White House Security Detail in Dallas, including claims that the driver of the Presidential limo, Bill Greer, killed President Kennedy, and claims that an agent in the follow up car, George Hickey, killed President Kennedy. Then, we’ll summarize the information that was discussed in the last 3 episodes...

In this episode, we revisit the presidential motorcade in Dallas. But, this time, we’ll zoom in to the motorcade itself, as opposed to what was seen by Secret Service in the motorcade as we previously discussed in Episode 11. Why did the motorcade travel the route it did? Who planned the details of that route? And were there any last minute changes to the motorcade lineup?  Twitter - https://twitt...

Over the next few episodes, we’ll analyze the granular details of the Secret Service’s actions on the day of the assassination and the lead up to it. The big overarching question is whether there was something more than mere negligence. Were the security failures a series of unfortunate coincidences, or was there someone intentionally making the motorcade less secure?  In this episode, we analyze...

During this season 2 of Solving JFK, we set out to answer the question “Who was Lee Harvey Oswald, really?” Like everything else in the JFK Assassination, to answer that question, we have to address multiple sub-questions, most of which have inconsistent evidence and disputed answers.  In part 1 of this season 2 conclusion episode, we look back at the body of evidence that was covered over the las...

There are a few instances, some more well known than others, of people seemingly having foreknowledge of the JFK Assassination – meaning that they knew that President Kennedy would be killed before it happened. As we look at these cases, the big questions are whether the alleged foreknowledge was specific and whether the claims about the person having that information are credible.   One recently...

Over the course of this season 2 of Solving JFK, a recurring theme that we’ve seen is the impersonation of Lee Harvey Oswald. It’s one thing for a witness to say that they saw a guy who they thought looked identical to Oswald when we know that Oswald could not have been there. Witnesses are often incorrect about recollections of what they saw, especially what someone looked like.  But, that’s not...

In this episode, we first look at a mysterious package sent to Oswald at the Paine home. Then, we turn to the actions of Ruth and Michael Paine after the assassination of President Kennedy, before summarizing the evidence provided by the Paines to incriminate Lee Harvey Oswald.  Was Ruth Paine a misunderstood good Samaritan, or was she a key participant in the cover up of the crime of the 21st cen...
