Chief/ Director James J. Rowley's cousin speaks

Bernie Malone, Rowley's cousin, commented on my You Tube channel:


"James J. Rowley was my cousin, he was very close to my mother. He absolutely had nothing to do with the assassination, he protected & personally cleared all presidential trips starting with FDR & never lost a president. Eventually he became director of the Secret Service during the Kennedy years & during that time as you would expect of a director, the field work was delegated to other senior Secret Service Senior members, especially during Kennedy's campaign for re-election. I can assure you, if he were in Dallas that day, he would have not allowed that motorcade to travel through that ambush with all those open windows, he certainly would not have approved of the suspicious actions of the agents in charge, those agents would not have been called off the back of the limo...I believe & I think Vince would agree, there were agents that Vince has mentioned who were involved, most likely through LBJ...as far as the other agent's, they were understaffed, worked long hour's with little sleep & many did not approve of JFK'S infidelity, regardless, they were in no condition to protect the president that day. James Rowley was turned down by Congress to allocate the much needed funds for the Secret Service, they were understaffed & this was a disaster waiting to happen. James Rowley was in Washington DC on the day of the assassination & this was a perfect opportunity for the conspirators to take control of every detail before, during & after the assassination...I don't believe the regular Kennedy detail was involved with the possible exception of Greer. This is why I believe James Rowley allowed his ass to get grilled during the Warren Commission, he did not throw the men he knew were not responsible under the bus...I personally believe he realized that this was something much bigger than him. The one positive thing that came out of this tragedy is The Secret Service received the funding to expand & change how president's would be protected in the future....the Secret Service Training Center is named after my cousin James J. Rowley. Unfortunately, I never had a chance to meet him, but I know from his reputation that he was definitely not involved."

JACKIE MOVIE REVIEW

https://kennedysandking.com/john-f-kennedy-reviews/jackie

But if that were not enough, there is also a scene where Jackie calls in Secret Service agent Clint Hill to see her, to congratulate him for his attempt to protect her during the fusillade. And she tells him she wants to talk to the accused assassin Oswald. In all the years I had researched the JFK case, I had never read anything like this scene happening. But I was not an expert on the Clint Hill/Jackie Kennedy relationship. So I consulted with Secret Service authority Vince Palamara. After exchanging emails with him, he said he did not recall this scene being related in any of the books Hill has written or co-written. And certainly not a request to talk to Oswald. Also, since Hill had been assigned to the First Lady from right after the 1961 inauguration, the formality and rigid cordiality shown in this scene would very likely not have existed. Further, the film tries to convey the impression that Hill rode on the trunk of the limousine all the way to Parkland. Again, according to Palamara, this is not accurate. He eventually snuggled into the back seat. And beyond that, there is even a scene where Jackie tries to walk into the autopsy room but she is turned away. My understanding was that the Kennedy entourage waited in a room on one of the upper floors of the Bethesda Medical Center. But again, I decided to consult with Palamara, and he said this did not happen.

FORMER JACKIE KENNEDY (JFK) AGENT PAUL LANDIS IS WORKING ON A BOOK!

FORMER JACKIE KENNEDY (JFK) AGENT PAUL LANDIS IS WORKING ON A BOOK!
He is now working on a book of his own memories of the event.” He also critiqued the new Natalie Portman movie "Jackie":

Paul Landis originally thought a shot came from the front:
“My reaction at this time was that the shot came from somewhere towards the front.” [Landis’ report dated 11/27/63: 18 H 758-759]

“I still was not certain from which direction the second shot came, but my reaction at this time was that the shot came from somewhere towards the front, right-hand side of the road.”  [Landis’ detailed report dated 11/30/63: 18 H 751-757]

“Landis confirmed to the committee the accuracy of his statement to the Warren Commission”- HSCA Report, pp.  89, 606 (referencing Landis’s interview, February 17, 1979 outside contact report, JFK Document 014571)

THE KENNEDY DETAIL by Gerald Blaine (2010), page 353: Landis lamely tries to backtrack, decades later. Tsk tsk. Landis was also a part of the documentary based on the book, as well.

PAUL LANDIS: SUPER SECRET AGENT HERO? by Cantara Christopher

I swear this is genuine. Paul Landis, one of the Secret Service agents on the Kennedy protection detail in Dallas who failed to protect the president from an assassin’s bullet back on that fateful November 22, 1963, has his own idea of how to start a picture. Got this personally from the director of the upcoming feature film The Kennedy Detail:




“Stephen [Gyllenhaal, director of the SCRAPPED movie THE KENNEDY DETAIL…canned due to my efforts], I don’t know how you intend to open your movie, but I have an idea that I would like to run by you, not intending to intrude into your creative space. Just a thought. Please forgive any miss spelled words. I’m just going with the flow.”

Paul (not Paulie)

Opening Scene: Taking place while titles, actors ,credits, etc. burn thru in white.

Start – Surround sound – Motorcycle engine starts – Loud – …Varoom. Then a second – same sounds – Varoom…Varoom. Followed by other sounds, cars starting, “Let’s roll”, voices, commands, close ups of car wheels starting to move, cycles shifting into gear, Presidentional flag on fender, feet walking & starting to jog, all close ups & tight shots…lots of quick shots & cuts…people waving…shouting…fenders…cycle exhaust pipes…flashers blinking…Clint/Paul exchanging glances…”Jackie, Jackie”…”Mr. President”…”Over here, over here Mr. President” etc., etc. More pix of buildings, people in windows…waving. Someone running towards presidents limo, arm extended…Agent looks at hand, quick flash close up…gun?…Knife?…finally a camera. Another Agent pushes person back towards crowd. the person tumbles…motorcade continues.

All sorts of scenes taking place and building in intensity as motorcade reaches & continues down Main Street in Dallas. Finally, as motorcade slows & turns right onto Houston…sounds start to fade…crown thinning out…..camera scanning buildings, Plaza, overpass, etc. As other sounds fade out, an erie background sound starts to fade in. We are now going into slow motion as cars start turning left onto Elm St…Silence….Sound (Click, click…lock & load)…theatre audiance in suspense, silent, intence, waiting in anticipation. Everyone knows what is about to happen…silence……BAM…Screen goes White. Blank!

Next Scene: Version of scene 12 – Paul getting shot, etc…Paul wakes up with a start…covered in cold sweat. (His idea of how it should have been).

CUT

Page 2, Scene 20 – WRHS (either 2010, age 75, or 2011, age 76).

To be continued…………………………….”

God save us from amateurs.

PAUL LANDIS ONE OF NINE AGENTS WHO DRANK HOURS BEFORE THE ASSASSINATION: CLINT HILL, JOHN READY AND GLEN BENNETT WERE THE OTHER FOLLOW-UP CAR AGENTS WHO DRANK (THE OTHER 5 WERE FROM A DIFFERENT SHIFT):

Landis himself wrote “I departed ‘The Cellar’ at approximately 5:00 a.m.” This is in Warren Commission Volume 18 p. 687.  This is part of Commission Exhibit 1020.
“In his Secret Service report dated November 30, 1963 [CD 3 Exhibits], Landis wrote: “[At Love Field] … I remember speaking to him [Sam Kinney] and standing by the follow-up car and jokingly asking him if he could tell me where the follow-up car was.” In light of Landis’s drinking and obvious lack of sleep, perhaps he wasn’t joking after all.”
http://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=1135&relPageId=701

Secret Service agent Paul Landis:
http://www.cleveland.com/metro/index.ssf/2016/11/shaker_heights_man_guarding_jfk_witnes.html

"He sounds almost proud of not having read the Warren Report, and said they got it right about no conspiracy and that Oswald as the lone actor, but blew it with the single-bullet theory. That theory holds that a single shot struck the President and also wounded Governor John Connally. And "I was never interviewed by the Warren Commission and still don't understand why," he said Saturday.
Asked about allegations that agents drank heavily the night before in Fort Worth, this witness said he didn't see it.
"I had a coke," he said, and there were Blue Laws in place that severely restricted the sale of liquor.
The quarry the night before the assassination was food that was not readily available "and at no time was I impaired."

“the [Secret] Service admitted to their outing but pretty much denied any negative effect: "That’s a tough one," says Paul Landis, who followed behind JFK's car. "I don’t think that affected me. That’s an arguable point."
http://www.vanityfair.com/news/politics/2014/10/secret-service-jfk-assassination
“Roy Kellerman, the leader of the security detail, did not seem to know what was happening. He thought a firecracker had gone off. William Greer, at the wheel of the president’s car, did not immediately speed up or swerve away from the shots. Paul Landis, in the vehicle trailing Kennedy’s, did not jump forward to protect the president with his body; neither did Jack Ready…As agent John Norris explained in Bill Sloan’s book J.F.K.: Breaking the Silence and in an interview for Vincent Michael Palamara’s book Survivor’s Guilt: The Secret Service and the Failure to Protect President Kennedy: “Except for George Hickey and Clint Hill, [many of the others] just basically sat there with their thumbs up their butts while the president was gunned down in front of them.”; Although some in his security force subtly suggested that Kennedy had brought trouble on himself by his purported aversion to the running boards or by plunging into crowds without any notice, others have refused to blame the victim. Agent Gerald Behn, the head of the White House detail, who was not in Dallas that day, told one writer, “I don’t remember Kennedy ever saying that he didn’t want anybody on the back of his car.”
Six Secret Service members stayed at the Cellar until around three in the morning according to the letters they submitted to the Warren Commission. One of the men, Paul Landis, who would ride in the car behind the presidential limousine, wrote that he didn’t leave until five A.M. “Every one of the agents involved had been assigned protective duties that began no later than eight A.M. on November 22, 1963,” observed Philip Melanson…Secret Service Agent Clint Hill tells Vanity Fair that he left the Cellar before two A.M., went back to the hotel, and put in his breakfast order for six A.M. (He told the Warren Commission that he had stayed until 2:45.)…Secret Service agents Clint Hill and Paul Landis scanned the crowd for trouble. Neither had had more than a few hours of sleep…“I knew right away it was a gunshot,” Landis, now 79, tells Vanity Fair, from his home near Cleveland, Ohio. “I was a hunter. I’ve done a lot of shooting. There was no doubt in my mind, in fact.” As it turned out, three of the men just behind the limo, including Landis and Hill—along with Glen Bennett, who was inside their chase car—had gone to the Press Club and then the Cellar the night before. Hill, Ready, and Bennett, by their own statements to the Warren Commission, had stayed until close to three A.M.; Landis, for two hours longer…Landis, when asked what, if anything, might have impeded their actions that day, says that the question of “the drinking was blown out of proportion . . . So other than that, I think you could say, ‘lack of sleep.’ But you’re wide awake . . . going on adrenalin.” Did his being out all night factor into it? “That’s a tough one,” he says. “I don’t think that affected me. That’s an arguable point.”; Letter after letter repeats that of the nine Secret Service agents at the Press Club and the Cellar, only three were due to report for the eight A.M. shift. Numerous times in the report, respondents state that the Cellar was a dry club. “This was a deceptive assertion,” assassination expert Philip Melanson would point out in his book on the history of the Secret Service. “At many clubs and restaurants in the Dallas-Forth Worth area, it was customary, given local liquor laws, for patrons to bring their own liquor, with the management providing setups.”

unknown agent in the plaza/ at Parkland?



Dallas Secret Service agent William Patterson



SA William H. Patterson, was with the Dallas Office of the Secret Service, and was assigned to help with security in Fort Worth on the morning of 11/22/63 at the Hotel Texas where JFK was staying and gave his breakfast speech and speeches outside to the crowd. After the Breakfast, he drove LBJ's car in the FTW motorcade to Carswell AFB where Air Force -1 was to depart for Love Field in Dallas. According to his 11/22 his after-action report he then drove secret service car 720-S to Love Field arriving at 12:20pm after JFK's Dallas motorcade had departed. And while not having a specific assignment in Dallas, he then assisted SAs Roger C. Warner and Donald J.Lawton (of the White House Detail), along with local police, in securing the general area around Air Force I & II. Upon learning via radio reports of the assassination and death of JFK he again assisted them in securing the general area around AF-I & II and the surrounding buildings. When JFK's casket and VP Johnson & Lady Bird arrived, he assisted in the security around AF-I, staying in close proximity to it until it departed and then returned to the Dallas Office. Additionally, on Sunday 11/24/63 when Oswald was shot, he and SA Roger C. Warner sped to Parkland Hospital, arriving just as Oswald's ambulance arrived. He and Warner then accompanied his stretcher inside the ER and then up to the Surgery suite.

Adrian Vial and Anthony Gerrets, New Orleans office

Adrian "Pete"Vial, Sr. was a Special Agent of the Secret Service in El Paso Tx and subsequently New Orleans, where he went on to become SAIC (at least by '73 he is listed as SAIC of the N.O. Office in a newspaper article). On the night of the assassination of JFK, N.O.S.S. SA Gerretts was contacted by N.O. SAIC John W. Rice (who was away on an assignment in Shreveport then Goldonna,LA). Rice asked him to contact SA Vial and have him accompany him to the N.O.P.D. to obtain the information they had on Lee Harvey Oswald. At 3 a.m. on 11/23/63, Garretts phoned Officer Martello, at the NOPD, who had previously interiewed Oswald after his arrest in August '63 for leafletting "disturbing the peace". Garretts & Vial then met Martello at the NOPD and Martello turned over to them all their records on Oswald.


Secret Service agent Robert Steuart

Here is Robert Steuart as a very young man (high school days). I spoke to him twice- once in 1992, once in 1993; good chap.
