Vincent Palamara was born in Pittsburgh and graduated from Duquesne University with a degree in Sociology.

Although not even born when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated, Vince brings fresh eyes to an old case. In fact, Vince would go on to study the largely overlooked actions - and inactions - of the United States Secret Service in unprecedented detail, as well as achieving a world's record in the process, having interviewed and corresponded with over seventy former agents (the House Select Committee on Assassinations had the old record of 46 with a 6 million dollar budget and supboena power from Congress), not to mention many surviving family members, White House aides, and even quite a few Parkland and Bethesda medical witnesses for a corresponding project. The result was Survivor's Guilt; The Secret Service & The Failure To Protect The President, a very successful self-published book that sold thousands of copies in the 1990's before becoming a free online e-book in 2006.

In addition, the aforementioned corresponding project on the John F. Kennedy assassination medical evidence, JFK: The Medical Evidence Reference, Vince's second book, although almost an afterthought to Vince's main area of research, still sold hundreds of copies and was favorably mentioned in books by William Law, R. Andrew Kiel, James Fetzer, and even Vince Bugliosi. Like his first book, Vince's medical evidence tome became a free online e-book in 2006.

All told, Vince has been favorably mentioned in over 50 JFK and Secret Service related books to date (including two whole chapters in Murder in Dealey Plaza, The Secret Service: The Hidden History Of An Enigmatic Agency by Philip Melanson, and the Final Report of the Assassination Records Review Board, among many others), often at length, in the bibliographies, and in the Secret Service - and even medical evidence - areas of these works.

Vince has appeared on the History Channel, local cable access television, YouTube, radio, newspapers, print journals, at national conferences, and all over the internet. Also, Vince's original research materials, or copies of said materials, are stored in the National Archives (by request under Deed Of Gift by the ARRB), the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library, Harvard University, the Assassination Archives and Research Center, and the Dallas Public Library.

Vince Palamara has become known (as he was dubbed by the History Channel in 2003) "the Secret Service expert." As former JFK Secret Service agent Joe Paolella proclaimed: "You seem to know a lot about the Secret Service, maybe even more than I do," while fellow JFK Secret Service agent Chuck Zboril stated: "You might be helpful to the official Secret Service historian who works out of Washington!"

President Kennedy was a very nice man, was NOT difficult to protect, and NEVER ordered the agents off the rear of his limousine (nor did his staff). The buck stops with the Secret Service. Don't believe any books by former agents trying to say otherwise!

Wow, this is amazing to see this video. I've seen PDS speak about 5-7 times at COPA conferences in Dallas in the 90s and since. Same accent, but I haven't seen him with a beard. And to get Curry on tape like this is priceless.

[VincePalamara]

thanks-I agree

[themeaningoflife38]

He wrote a book that enraged J Edgar Hoover I'm surprised he didnt have an "accident".This clip is 1977 so Hoover was long gone at this point so he probably had less fear of being killed.

I think Curry revelled in the conspiracy theories because it cleared him of gigantic incompetence. It's about time someone pointed out this man's culpability and stopped completely overlooking it.

[genericgeorge]

and a transfer a mere few blocks away at that. And yet they couldnt even assure his safety ( let alone his life) inside their own dept.. Take a bow Chief....

[genericgeorge]

And what was Curry doing at the moment of Oswald's transfer? He was called to the phone to talk to Earle Cabell. You would think as chief of police, overseeing that it all went smoothly would be of most paramount importance, particularly in light of it being crime of the century. Ossie was the most hated man since John Wilkes Booth. and the DP were responsible for the safety of his transfer a few blocks. And Clutz Currie couldnt let Earle Cabell wait or call him back in 10 minutes.

If Curry had the courage to state this 10 years before this interviev it may have had more effect,saying it so long after the fact is like blowing bubbles in the wind=pointless.

[themeaningoflife38]

and the mayor Earl Cabel's brother General Charles Cabel was Deputy Director of the CIA for 9 years until fired by JFK for the bay of pigs.The mayor had total control of the DPD and the parade route and the handling of Oswald.

i think the dpd used to train with the FBI and because of curry and his beliefs hoover wouldnt let any dpd officer be trained for over 15 years. ive always felt that curry thought the fbi took advantage of him and even blamed him and his department of the oswald murder. i feel like curry prob was upset knowing that washington controlled how oswald was paraded to the media. believe it or not, police are much smarter and have protocol for stuff like this. why would it make sense to show oswald off

[themeaningoflife38]

Look into the Deputy Police Chief George Lumpkin and also Jack Crichton and Lt Col George Whitmeyer.They were all members of The 488th Military Intelligence Unit along with 50 Dallas Police Officers.Jack Crichton was good buddies with George HW Bush and David H Bryd.Check it out and see for yourself.

[themeaningoflife38]

Isnt it interesting that this is NEVER shown on any of the JFK specials in the USA?I would think this would be big news the Chief of Police contradicting the Warren Commission.Must be "Operation Mockingbird" again.
