COMPLETED MAJOR JFK DOCUMENTARY FOR WORLDWIDE COMMERCIAL DVD AND, HOPEFULLY, TELEVISION AND/ OR THEATRE RUN!




6/15/13- Awesome day: participated in a major documentary for commercial dvd (and more)! Mentally exhausted and the ole voice is a little tired- 4 and a half hours of talking under klieg lights. I think it will kick butt when it comes out. Authors Dr Mantik and Doug Horne are participants, too.

HOLD THE FRONT PAGE. JFK in Ireland - the media coverage

The veteran Irish journalist, editor and writer Tim Pat Coogan – then in his younger days as a reporter – wrote in the 'New York Times' of a discussion in a New Ross pub of how FBI [sic: Secret Service] men were "climbing the trees at the farm" where JFK's ancestors were from.

Gardai were convinced that security arrangements were more than adequate for the visit. This was despite three death threats being received, including one telephoned to the offices of the Irish Independent.

In a letter from the Department of Justice to the Department of the Taoiseach, written just days prior to his arrival, a civil servant noted that police were "confident" that the arrangements were enough to ensure his safety.

Crowds start gathering at Dublin Airport for the president's arrival, with 300 gardai to provide security.

PART TWO OF TWO

The position of Secret Service Chief Inspector was very influential—it was Torina himself who completed the Secret Service’s Manual. Torina contributed significantly to a book by Wayne Hyde written in 1962 in which it is written: “If the President is to appear in a parade, agents and policemen are assigned posts atop buildings and on the street along the parade route. If exceptionally large crowds are expected…the Secret Service may call upon the Armed Forces to station troops along the line of march.”






Buildings along route not checked- Chief U.E. Baughman stated that the clearing of buildings along a prade route was fundamental and “a basic, established rule”, adding further that “it was always standard procedure for the Secret Service, through the local police, to insist that building managers [like Texas School Book Depository Manager Roy Truly] follow rigid rules to protect the president”, such as keeping people out of the upper stories of the buildings.[i]






Roofs along the route were not manned or checked--SAIC of the Nashville office Paul Doster[ii] told the "Nashville Banner" back on 5/18/63 that "a complete check of the entire motorcade route" was done for JFK’s trip to Nashville. In addition, Doster stated: "other [police] officers were assigned atop the municipal terminal and other buildings along the route. These men took their posts at 8 a.m. and remained at their rooftop stations until the president and his party passed". The roofs of buildings were also guarded on 11/18/63, four short days before Dallas, in addition to San Antonio on 11/21/63, just the day before, as well as in Fort Worth on the morning of the assassination

ANOTHER reader is not fooled by Gerald Blaine's lies

Same old lies, June 7, 2013

This review is from: The Kennedy Detail: JFK's Secret Service Agents Break Their Silence (Hardcover)

I bought this book hoping there would be new information about the Kennedy assasination. What a disappointment!! Instead of providing insight into the assassination, the book drones on about (1) agent's complaining about not getting to eat meals, being away from their families, being overworked, not getting sleep, etc., etc. (2) how fantastic every agent on the detail was, (3) how they couldn't have done anything more than they did to protect the president (4) how thorough the Warren Commission report was, (5) how emotionally affected each agent was after the assassination and (6) how mean people were suggesting that there was a conspiracy. The book was much more concerned with shaping a fictitious image of the Secret Service (spelled CYA) and supporting the government fabrication about the tragedy in Dallas than shedding any light on the truth. Many of Blaine's comments are in direct contradiction to facts that even government agency's have indicated were true while other comments just gloss over anything that might interfere with his "reality".

Just a handful of questions the book raises ...

Many of the agents in Dallas were out partying into the early morning hours of November 22; even if, as he states, they were off duty and not inebriated, the question left unanswered is why weren't they back at the hotel sleeping since throughout the book they complain about not getting enough rest. He talks about how stressful they expected the day to be and how important "mental alertness" was for them being able to do thier job. And yet somehow, he doesn't see the inherent contradiction.

Why was Johnson's detail already covering the VP while Kennedy's detail still hadn't even reacted cause "they weren't sure if what they heard was gunfire".

In what fantasy world does anyone actually believe that Ruby killed Oswald because of how much he cared about the Kennedy family.

Why does an agent, who at the time, says he thought at least one of the shots came from the grassy knoll and saw someone running in that direction after the fact, realize "when he thought back with a rational mind" years later that he was wrong. What pressure was applied to give him a clearer memory.

Why does Blaine see no validity in any assassination conspiracy theory yet when he couldn't sell the Secret Service IBM equipment, he immediately blamed in on a conspiracy to pay him back for leaving the Service.

Blaine says Chief Rowley told agents to lie whenever asked if the president ordered them to stay off the back of his car in an effort to "protect the president". What other lies might have been told in order to "protect" each other.

EXCELLENT security in Tampa for JFK 11/18/63

"

It was 4 days before JFK would be assassinated at Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas, the date was Nov. 18th. 1963 when President John Fitzgerald Kennedy’s plane would touch down at Mac Dill Air Force Base. He and General Paul D. Adams would sit in the very same Lincoln that he and his wife Jackie would be in on that fateful day in Dallas.The motorcades in Texas needed Jackie. For you see they made an amazingly photogenic couple and the campaign needed the Texas voter. The Tampa motorcade route would begin after a speech at Al Lopez Field. It went south on Dale Mabry then turned east and ran 5 miles up Grand Central Avenue to Franklin Street. Winded it’s way around to Howard Avenue and stopped at the Fort Homer Hesterley Armory where he would deliver another speech. Then back to Grand Central Avenue and west to the International Inn (now the InterContinental). After another 20 minute speech back to Grand Central Avenue and then return to MacDill. In JFK’s entire presidency this would be his second longest motorcade route, eclipsed only by his famous Berlin, Germany trip. On this entire route JFK was guarded front, back and all sides by the Tampa Police Department Motor Officers, 34 motor units in all on that sunny day in November. I recently talked with retired TPD motor officer Russell Groover (who with officer Ronald Barber) were chosen to be the two motor units closest to JFK. The FBI and Tampa Police started recieving threats against the President two weeks before his landing. Two days before the President’s arrival when asked by the Secret Service “If anyone breaks through this perimeter you are to take them out. How would you do this?” Without thinking, officer Groover said “I’d hit them with my motorcycle”. With hands needed to operate the motor unit and the possibility of a stray bullet into the crowd, it was the correct answer. Officer Barber agreed and they had their two “lead” men to the left and right of our 35th President. Officer Groover drew a detailed diagram of the TPD motor unit deployment. It was a very closely spaced diamond of 7 units around JFK’s car and the remaining 23 boxing in that formation. He also commented that in every multi story building along the motorcade there were police or military stationed on every floor and the roof. At Mac Dill, president Kennedy thanked every officer personally and with a handshake, for Tampa did its job well and JFK boarded Air Force One without incident.

The motor units are of immense value in a motorcade due to narrow road lanes and crowded conditions. They can pass, drop back and are a great tool to “push” back an overzealous crowd from the Presidential cars in such limited space.
