Episode 190 The Secret Service Question Part 1

Episode 190 is the first in a mini- series wander covering the Secret Service and their possible involvement in the coverup or the  actual plot itself to assassinate President Kennedy. Recent events, including the pending publication of the book by former Secret Service agent  Paul Landis, have given rise to renewed interest in this topic. Mr. Landis is  88 years old land he was an agent who  was there in Dallas on November 22nd and participated in the motorcade protection. He now  claims to be the person who left  the bullet on the stretcher at Parkland. His claims  have sparked a great deal of renewed debate about the shooters in the plaza, but rather than evaluate Mr. Landis' claim at this time,  we are using this period of renewed interest to reassess the role of the secret service overall in the assassination story. It is no secret that there was a massive failure of protection by the Secret Service which contributed heavily to the death of the President. But the seminal question of whether this was poor planning ,or poor performance,  versus something more sinister, have never been fully resolved. The inner  workings of the secret service are just that...they are secret...and not much has been said by the agents outside of the official agency position.... since the assassination, but at least one man Vince Palamara is widely considered to be the resident expert on how the Secret Service figures into the assassination story.  Mr. Palamara has done more original research on this topic than  anyone else. So these next few episodes will give us a chance to better understand this often over looked aspect of the assassination story. 

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.
