In 2012 a former FBI agent, Don Adams, published a book with a long title, viz. "From An Office Building with a High-Powered Rifle: One FBI Agent's View of the JFK Assassination."
That book was about his relationship with underground FBI informant Willie Somerset who had infiltrated the KKK in early 1963 to spy on key figures including Joseph Milteer.
Only ten days before the JFK Assassination, FBI agent Don Adams accepted a priority assignment to investigate KKK leader, Joseph Milteer, because Willie Somerset had informed the FBI that Milteer had made threats to assassinate JFK.
Adams was assigned to find and interrogate Milteer. He did so, and found nothing much, as Milteer denied everything.
After JFK indeed assassinated in Dallas, Adams proposed to interrogate Milteer again, but was ordered to stand down. The FBI was satisfied that Lee Harvey Oswald (LHO) was the Lone Assassin.
Yet several years later, Agent Adams happened to read an FBI report with more detail. Somerset had reported Milteer's exact sentence -- that JFK would be killed "from an office building with a high-powered rifle," and that a patsy "would be picked up within hours to throw everybody off."
The HSCA investigated Joseph Milteer, but found no further evidence. Jeff Caufield, however, found a photograph showing Milteer in the crowd at Dealey Plaza as JFK drove by.
Although Don Adams' book is a good read, it isn't as interesting or as in-depth as an article posted on Medium.com just two days ago, entitled, "JFKKK: The Ku Klux Klan and the Killings of November 22, 1963."
That article is by JFK Researcher James Day.
When Jason Ward and I set up this website in back in 2017, we identified the well-known, 900-page book by Dr. Jeffrey Caufield, entitled, "General Walker and the Murder of President Kennedy: The Extensive New Evidence of a Radical Right Conspiracy (2015).
This book, we said, is the gold standard to correct the many flaws of the 26 volumes of the Warren Commission (WC). James Day, it turns out, has worked closely with Jeff Caufield over the years, and still does.
James Day's article about Willie Somerset, who was a member of the KKK (as a part of his FBI informant role) is the deepest dive yet into the dark world of the US Radical Right which connects the KKK with the General Walker, the Minutemen, and other plotters in Dallas tied to the JFK Assassination.
I wanted to share the link to James Day's intriguing article with y'all right away. That's the sole purpose of today's post. Again, the title is: "JFKKK: The Ku Klux Klan and the Killings of November 22, 1963." Here's the link:
