Counterrevolutionary Cubans & JFK: Was Earlier Assassination Plot Foiled in Chicago?

[WorldNetDaily is a pretty nutty right-wing source, and this November

22, 2007 conspiracy anniversary story is totally unreferenced, so take

it with a grain of salt, but it's interesting. It was redistributed on

Nov 26, 2007 by VHeadline.com with the title "Is this why Bush is

refusing to extradite US terrorist Luis Posada Carriles?" Certainly

possible... As we all know, Bush's daddy George Herbert Walker Bush --

who pardoned Orlando Bosch in July, 1990 -- was one of those spooks in

Dallas on Nov 22, 1963. -NY Transfer]

JFK assassination plot uncovered in Chicago?

Ex-Secret Service agent reveals tip caused president to

change travel plans 3 weeks before Dallas shooting

Lee Harvey Oswald, Dallas and Nov. 22, 1963, would never have become

etched into the minds of millions of Americans if a plot " revealed by

an ex-Secret Service agent " to kill President John F. Kennedy in

Chicago three weeks earlier had been successful.

Former agent Abraham Bolden, 72, told Chicago ABC affiliate, WLS-TV,

Kennedy was waved off from a much-publicized visit to Chicago on Nov.

2, 1963, to attend the Army-Air Force football game at Soldier Field

and ride in a parade after the Secret Service received a report from a

motel manager who told of seeing several automatic weapons with

telescopic sights on the bed of a room rented to several Cuban

nationals. They had an outline of the route Kennedy was to follow from

O'Hare airport that would take his motorcade past the motel. The route

had been printed in Chicago newspapers.

Bolden, a former Illinois state trooper, was the first black agent to

protect a president.

The Secret Service was already uneasy about the presidential visit

because an outspoken critic of the president, Thomas Vallee, had

arranged to take off work for Kennedy's visit. Vallee was arrested

before the planned visit with an M1 rifle, a handgun and 3,000 rounds

of ammunition in his possession.

News of the Cuban nationals triggered an investigation but, Bolden

charges, the surveillance was mishandled and the Cuban suspects

disappeared and were never identified.

"No one was sent to the room to fingerprint it or get an ID. The case

was lost and that was the end of it," he said.

The day of the planned flight from Washington, D.C., with a suspected

Cuban hit team somewhere in Chicago, the Secret Service urged a change

of plans.

"The morning of the game, the special agent in charge of the Chicago

office called the White House and recommended the president cancel his

trip to Chicago," Bolden said.

News reports at the time blamed the change in plans on illness and a

diplomatic crisis. South Vietnamese President Ngo Dinh Diem was

assassinated in Saigon on that same day.

But Bolden told WLS-TV neither illness nor crisis were the reason plans

were changed " JFK stayed away from Chicago because of the suspected

assassination plot.

Following Kennedy's murder in Dallas three weeks later, Bolden said he

tried to inform the Warren Commission of the Chicago plot and

misconduct by Secret Service agents, including on-duty drunkenness, but

his efforts were thwarted when he was arrested, prosecuted and

sentenced to prison for soliciting a bribe from a counterfeiter.

Bolden, who served six years, claims he was set up to silence his

criticism of agents' behavior and is hoping to clear his name after the

main witness against him recanted his testimony.

The Chicago assassination plot was first discussed in the book

"Ultimate Sacrifice: John and Robert Kennedy, the Plan for a Coup in

Cuba, and the Murder of JFK" by Lamar Waldron and Thom Hartmann. Also,

a History Channel series titled "The Men Who Killed Kennedy" also

discussed plots prior to JFK's trip to Dallas, emphasizing the Miami

plot.
