Joseph Milteer (1902‐1974), of Quitman, GA, was a racist right‐wing extremist activist who hated
President Kennedy insanely and spent his life combating the Civil Rights movement. On Nov. 9, 1963, 13
days before the Kennedy assassination, Milteer had a lengthy conversation in a Miami, FL apartment
with a childhood friend, Willie Somersett, in the course of which Milteer told Somersett about a plot
that was afoot to assassinate JFK. Unknown to Milteer, Somersett, a secret informant for local Miami
police, was surreptitiously tape‐recording the conversation.
In that conversation Milteer confided that the killing of Kennedy “was in the working;” that the
president could be killed “From an office building with a high‐powered rifle;” that the rifle could be
“disassembled” to get it into the building; and that “They will pick up somebody within hours
afterward, if anything like that would happen, just to throw the public off.”
Joseph Milteer dropped by the soldier's house in Mississippi in November of 1973, exactly 10 years after the assassination. Four months later in February 1974 he was found dead from a "camping stove accident." Maybe he got too close to the fire...
"Wowie Zowie" is a term used by heavily medicated individuals.
