The United States Secret Service, Part 2, [JFK]

Elmore Moore was the muscle for the Secret Service. He was not involved with the Dallas police in terms of the presidential motorcade. Elmore Moore was the guy who went to the Parkland doctors and told them to shut their fucking mouths about entry wounds and rear wounds blowing out the back of JFK’s head. Elmore Moore was the one who intimidated Dr. Perry into changing his statement that the throat wound was an entrance wound. Perry was extremely intimidated by Elmore Moore. Moore was also the secret service agent that went to the local Dallas News stations and physically seized their footage.
5:50 He looks like he cracks skulls.
He was the enforcer and he reported to a guy named Thomas J. Kelly, who was the liaison later to the Warren Commission. Kelly was a cop out of Baltimore, later became a Secret Service agent who is the guy with the hat and the glasses, kind of an older guy. He was Inspector Kelley. When Elmore Moore was confronted years later about intimidating people, he said on the record, “He was ordered to do so by Thomas J. Kelley.” Kelley told Elmore Moore what to do. Kelley was also responsible for finding the Russian interpreter for the woman there in the front, Marina Oswald.
7:08 Emory Roberts and that Lawton footage that we showed at the airport, Eric? These guys who were drinking in the cellar the night before, were drinking moonshine, show up at 8am, some of them stay ‘til 5am, an one of the guys there was Malcolm Kilduff, who was the Press Secretary. Who you see in the press briefings that the bullet went through Kennedy’s head. The reason Kilduff was important was because he was the 3rd string press secretary for the White House Press Corps. The main guy was Pierre Salinger, and Pierre Salinger was sent on a plane with the presidential cabinet to Japan. He was also taken out of the line=up, the A-List line-up intentionally. Salinger was involved in arranging the motorcade, you know, doing things that were more hands on, and Salinger was in every single trip that Kennedy ever went on except this one. So he was put up in an airplane, not unlike Fletcher Prouty, who was sent to New Zealand. So, a lot of guys were sent on missions to get out of Dodge, so to speak, or out of Dallas.
9:35 That’s Don Lawton and Ripka, who is on the far left, were waived off the car by Emory Roberts. These two guys then went into the terminal and provided no support for the rest of the day; they went to lunch. They’re done. These two guys are now out of the loop.
10:00 They mention the front car, the lead car. This is never mentioned, so I am going to cover it. This is a white, hard-top Ford that is the lead car in the motorcade. The reason the lead car is important in the motorcade is because its speed sets the speed of the entire motorcade. And this Lincoln is sandwiched between the Secret Service in back and the lead car in front. The lead car in the front, and he just said who was in the lead car, and he mentioned the Dallas Police Chief, Jesse Curry, who is driving it, which is true; Secret Service Agent, Win Lawson, who is in on the plot. He’s one of the coup plotters, Eric. Winston Lawson [here is a statement by Lawson, who died in 2019].
[Here’s a 1993 interview of Winston “Winn” Lawson, who even after the Church Committe found a conspiracy of more than one shooter, still holds, in 1993, the Oswald as lone gunman. Remarkable.]
Sheriff Bill Decker. Dallas Field Agent, Forrest Sorrells, a peripheral character in the plot. This has always the list of people who are in that lead car. Even Wikipedia will not go any further than those four people. As you will now learn, there were additional people in that lead car. Who else could possibly be in that 1961 white, hard top Ford? There was a guy named George Lumpkin, Deputy Dallas Police Chief to Jessie Curry. George L. Lumpkin is an important operative in this thing and sitting next to him is Lieutenant Colonel George L. Whitmeyer. Lumpkin reports to this guy, Whitmire. Now, why is Lieutenant Colonel George L. Whitmeyer in this car? Whitmeyer started the 488th Military Intelligence detachment. This is not an official military organization. This was a spy militia set up by Whitmire and using members . . . ex-military guys in Dallas to fight communism. This is not the 112th military intelligence unit, which was the legit unit out of San Antonio. This was an ad hoc group that no one’s ever explored before that we are going to have an episode about separately on America’s Untold Stories. [12:29] These two guys, Lumpkin and Whitmeyer, represent the 488th Military Intelligent Detachment, and it’s not a legitimate military organization, and I believe that they were involved in the coup to assassinate the President, representing military elements on the ground. Like James Powell was a legitimate, 112th military intelligent unit photographer. He was there and he was in the Dal-Tex Building, and he was shooting photographs . . . . That was from the legitimate 112th military unit. These other guys, the 488th, is a made-up, non-detached unit having no connection to the Pentagon.
THE LEAD CAR IN THE MOTORCADE
Why is this motorcade different than all other motorcades, as we say on Passover? This particular motorcade is different in tons of ways and reasons, and in those ways and reasons and situations that we’re going to explain, you will see a difference in the Dallas motorcade–not just to motorcades historically involving Kennedy–but the motorcades from the three previous days, San Antonio, from Houston, from Fort Worth. Everything changes with the Dallas motorcade.
How many things can they change?
Normally, in a motorcade, there’s a flatbed truck in front of the President’s car. Why would there be a flatbed truck in front of the President’s car? On board are the White House photographers. On board are the newsreel film makers. And you see examples of this all around the world, the same JFK motorcade, has a flatbed truck in front of it. And in this particular motorcade, this is all happening at Love Field, not the night before. That flatbed truck is sent to the rear of the motorcade. So they don’t have any filming. Let’s move on.
18 Dallas Police motorcade cops were assigned to protect the motorcade. 16 were stripped away, 14 the night before, reducing it to 4. They have a special meeting the night before, literally the night before, to strip away 14 motorcycle Harley Dallas police cops from the motorcade. You can’t make this up. Leaving 4 of them. Of the 4, they strip away 2 additional motorcycle cops and tell the only two to stay to the rear bumper of the president’s limousine. Now, who does this? It’s done by this guy, named Roger Warner, another Secret Service Agent, who works with Don Lawson. He’s working with Winston Lawson in the lead car.
15:38 Here is one of his enforcers. This is the other muscle guy. This is the guy who is the go-between in the motorcade moving these pieces around. And if you show pictures of Greer and Kellerman now, I thin k you’ll see the differences between the enforcers and the stooges. Roy Kellerman in the middle is assigned to be for the first time the leader of this trip because of the two guys, Gerald Ben, who is the head of the White House Secret Service detail. Gerald Ben and Floyd Boring decide not to attend. And they turn it over to a rookie to run the show–he’s not actually a rookie–Roy Kellerman, who was sitting in the Presidential limousine next to the guy who was on his left, William Greer.
16:45 Now, who was William Greer? A high school dropout, born in Ireland, who was almost 60 years of age, who’s been a chauffeur his entire life. He’s a member of the Secret Service and has the intelligence of a cactus and he is the driver of the limousine. Now, keep in mind, he also admits and says that he . . . the reason the taillights come on, by the way, is not that he hit the brakes. It’s that he operated in a parade or motorcade in low gear. And when he had to switch, he had to hit the brakes to put it back into normal drive in detail. That’s something that nobody never realized before . . . what he was doing. So, he hits the brakes, of course, he doesn’t admit this to the Warren Commission, but everybody saw the taillights. He hits the brakes, shifts it into Drive, and then Kellerman tells him to get out of there. However, Kellerman has lied so many times that you don’t know what he’s talking about. 17:47
The United States Secret Service, Part 3, [JFK]
120:00 Drinking at both the Ft. Worth Press Club, first, and then to the Cellar Don Lawton was there. Pat Kirkwood was bombed from drinking pure EverClear.
120:22, Groubert. There was no liquor license at the Cellar. You had to buy your own set-up, and Kirkwood has his own moonshine that he would give on special occasions to people.
120:30 Exactly. But the official line is “Hey, the Cellar didn’t have any alcohol.” They had set-ups, and people brown bagged it, and they had stuff under the counter; and again, they had drank at the Ft. Worth Press Club.
Emory Roberts by name in the book. His first night in the White House detail
127:05 Emory Roberts is all concerned about Kennedy’s personal life. All the agents are angry s hell about JFK’s personal life. When Kennedy’s killed before the body is even cold, [Roberts] switches to Johnson and becomes Johnson’s Appointment Secretary. From 1965, there were national news articles with the press wondering. The Prime Minister of Japan was visiting the Oval Office “What’s a secret service agent introducing him to the President?” Emory Roberts literally replaced Dave Thomas.
