Episode 211 Joseph Milteer and The Radical Right Wing of America Part 2 Don Adams in Quitman

Episode 211 is the second  in a series covering  Joesph Milteer and the radical right wing of America.     In today's episode we tell the story of Don Adams. Adams was a rookie FBI agent in 1963 who was assigned out of the Atlanta office to work in a rotation out of Quitman Georgia.   As a satellite office,  agents stationed in Quitman covered nine counties in southern Georgia. Because the secret service had no offices in south Georgia, they called on the FBI for help in investigating Milteer.  In both October and November, Willie Somersett an informant for both the Miami Police Department and the FBI,  reported that plots had been discussed involving plans to assassinate president Kennedy.  The first occurring in Indianapolis Indiana at a meeting of several individuals in a hotel room and then again during a conversation that occurred one on one  in Miami at Somersett's apartment with Milteer.  Milteer was party to both meetings. After the November 9th meeting  between Somersett and Milteer,  in Miami, the secret service  received a transcription of the tape recorded conversation where Milteer described the plot that was already in the works. Considering him  a prime suspect, the Secret Service reached out to the Atlanta office of the FBI to track down Milteer and learn more. This is the fascinating story of the FBI deception in the investigation of Milteer that was later uncovered by this rookie agent himself, years after the fact. 

Even as early as 1964, rumors and serious concerns over  the lone gunman theory and the evidence that might contravene it,  were becoming a major concern for the government and the commission. Conspiracy theories were contrary to the government's stated narrative from the very beginning. This  real-life story is more fascinating than fiction.  No matter whether you are a serious researcher or a casual student, you will enjoy the fact filled narrative and story as  we relive one of the most shocking moments in American History. An event that changed the nation and changed the world forever.
