Retired FBI Agent Claims Oswald 'Absolutely' Did Not Kill JFK
The Korean War veteran and retired FBI agent, Don Adams, was interviewed by a FOX 8 news reporter. He told the reporter that he worked as an FBI field agent in Thomasville, Georgia.
Adams, who is now 80-years-old, told the reporter that one of his assignments was to investigate "one of the most violent men in the country,” Joseph Milteer.
Adams had an informer who recorded a conversation with Milteer just weeks before the assassination. In the tapes the extreme right radical, with links to the KKK and States Right Party, can be heard talking about the best way to shoot the President. He say the prime location "is from an office building with a high powered rifle."
Agent Adams and his team located Milteer in Quintan, Georgia on November 27, 1963 but the Senior Agent would not allow a proper investigation.
"I said, 'Boss wait a minute, we have an opportunity to elicit tremendous information from him' and he replied 'five questions and nothing more'," said Adams.
Milteer was asked if the President was going to be assassinated. He replied "Oh yes. It's in the works."
It is Adams belief that this information should have been enough for the FBI and the Secret Service to have stop President Kennedy and his wife from travelling.
After the assassination had been carried out Milteer was "jubilant" and bragged about it. He said "You thought I was kidding when I said he would be killed from a window with a high powered rifle."
Milteer was never mentioned in the Warren Commission Report which investigated the assassination. The report from FOX 8 said "Adams suspects Milteer was definitely involved in President Kennedy's death, but he says Oswald absolutely was not."
...
The Warren Commission never learned the full truth of Milteer's statements, receiving just a cursory interview report in December 1963 and a somewhat more detailed one in July 1964, late in the Commission's term. But even the later report failed to discuss the recorded statements which the Secret Service received. A more complete version of the story finally reached the public in 1967 in a newspaper article.
...
Who was Joseph Milteer? He was an organizer for the racist National States Rights Party and the Constitution Party. The latter organization's membership included retired Marine General Pedro del Valle.
TranscriptMILTEER: Well, there is a way to beat that, you know. All you have to do is pull up to the state line, unload it there, slide it across the line, get in the car and load it again, and they can't accuse you of transporting it then, because you didn't do it. I have done the same thing with a woman. I had one, then I had a woman frame me on it. I got to the state line, and I said, "Listen, Toots, this is the state line, get out, and I will meet you over there," she got out, walked across the line, got in my car in the other state, I didn't transport her, there wasn't a fucking thing she could do about it, I had her ass for a long time...
SOMERSETT: I was talking to a boy yesterday, and he was in Athens, Georgia, and he told me, that they had two colored people working in that drug store, and that them, uh, they went into the basement, and tapped them small pipes, I guess that they are copper together, and let that thing accumulate, and blowed the drug store up. He told me that yesterday, do you think that is right?
MILTEER: It could have happened that way.
...
MILTEER: The more bodyguards he has, the easier it is to get him.
SOMERSETT: What?
MILTEER: The more bodyguards he has the more easier it is to get him.
SOMERSETT: Well how in the hell do you figure would be the best way to get him?
MILTEER: From an office building with a high-powered rifle, how many people [room noise--tape not legible] does he have going around who look just like him? Do you know about that?
SOMERSETT: No, I never heard that he had anybody.
MILTEER: He has got them.
SOMERSETT: He has?
MILTEER: He has about fifteen. Whenever he goes any place they [not legible] he knows he is a marked man.
SOMERSETT: You think he knows he is a marked man?
MILTEER: Sure he does.
SOMERSETT: They are really going to try to kill him?
MILTEER: Oh, yeah, it is in the working, Brown himself, Brown is just as likely to get him as anybody. He hasn't said so, but he tried to get Martin Luther King.
SOMERSETT: He did.
MILTEER: Oh yes, he followed him for miles and miles, and couldn't get close enough to him.
SOMERSETT: You know exactly where he is in Atlanta don't you.
MILTEER: Martin Luther King, yeah.
SOMERSETT: Bustus Street [phonetic].
MILTEER: Yeah 530.
SOMERSETT: Oh Brown tried to get him huh?
MILTEER: Yeah.
SOMERSETT: Well, he will damn sure do it, I will tell you that. Well, that is why, look, you see, well, that is why we have to be so careful, you know that Brown is operating strong.
MILTEER: He ain't going to play you know.
...
SOMERSETT: Boy, if that Kennedy gets shot, we have got to know where we are at. Because you know that will be a real shake, if they do that.
MILTEER: They wouldn't leave any stone unturned there no way. They will pick up somebody within hours afterwards, if anything like that would happen just to throw the public off.
SOMERSETT: Oh, somebody is going to have to go to jail, if he gets killed.
MILTEER: Just like that Bruno Hauptmann in the Lindbergh case you know [Dials telephone].
