Episode 6: Before Dallas: The Forgotten Plot to Kill JFK
transcript
show notes
Three years before Dallas, a 73-year-old retired postal worker sat in a dynamite-rigged Buick, waiting for President-elect Kennedy's car to pass by in Palm Beach — and came closer to changing American history than almost anyone remembers.
Richard Pavlick had driven over a thousand miles convinced Kennedy family money had bought the election. He had the explosives, the plan, and the opportunity. What happened next got buried by history — and by a tragedy that hit the headlines just one day later.
This is the forgotten near-miss that could have erased Camelot, the Cuban Missile Crisis, and Dallas itself before any of it happened.
