Ultra Rare JFK & The Secret Service- Kennedy Detail

In this ultra rare news film/ video from 11/22/63, ABC News reporter Bob Clark (who rode in the fateful motorcade) and his colleagues Jay Watson and Bob Walker narrate film and video from JFK's stops in Fort Worth and Dallas. The presence and nature of the Secret Service is duly noted, including Roy Kellerman.

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!

you got it :)

tthis is quite rare as I've never seen it. Notice the lax security and mob type scene around the president; it was a diff world, in some ways worse such as people blowing smoke in others faces,cars without seatbelts and a great president all too accessable with ss agents unworthy of their positions.

That moment where one of the secret service agents is evidently told to stand down, and he's just shrugging his shoulders as the Presidents limousine drives off, speaks volumes. The car behind the Presidents limo stays well behind at a slower speed. Its just so obvious.

in the book contract on america by david scheim - the secret service agents on kennedy's detail left their posts and went the cellar nightclub owned by a friend of jack ruby pat kirkwood where they got drunk- the bartender states they were drinking pure everclear- the security was compromised at all levels- people in windows, car makes those 90 degree turns-the car stops on elm street, sherriff's were told to stand down, the secret guy called away from riding in thre follow up car-lbj ha ha

[TheFrogger15]

These Reporters just ignored the fact that the one Agent was ordered to stand down off the Presidents limo as it was clear showing how baffled he was by this throwing up his arms three times.

[larrywheels]

jfk's security was compromised at every step- jfk's ss guy intent to ride on the ss car is ordered to back off by emory roberts - the lead car with binion's sheriff decker and hl hunt's general widemeyer of the john birch society led the limo driver into the ambush site. according to palamara- greer did not even know the route -he just followed the lead car.
