‘Right before it occurs, security is withdrawn in some manner: ex. The recording cameras mysteriously not “on” when Princess Diana was murdered.

In the case of JFK, note that seconds before he is shot, one Secret Service agent is called away by his fellow agents in the car behind the President’s car, from his assigned role. Note that he shrugs his shoulders in bewilderment, but does comply with their request that he leave the President’s car and join them behind it.

IIRC, it may have been Jim Marr that revealed that this particular agent was specifically assigned to protect First Lady Jackie. It is reasoned that because he was not protecting the President, he was not “in the loop” of knowing what was about to happen, and thus, his bewilderment and shoulder shrugging.

AFAIK, no other explanation has been suggested to explain this removal of security seconds before the “event”.’

I have watched the video of this agent being ordered to stand down at least a dozen times. ‘Bewildered’ doesn’t adequately describe his reaction. He’s surprised, confused, angry and defiant. In the end it’s obvious that he complies against his will, and under great duress.

A special platform had been constructed on the back of Kennedy’s limo to allow an agent to stand at the rear bumper, supported by a convenient hand-grip. In the event of an attack, this agent would have been closest to Kennedy. Had the agent been where he was supposed to be, he could have shoved Kennedy to the floor after the first shot. In fact, his presence would have made that shot more difficult, as his own body would have impeded the sights.

As you said, no explanation has ever been offered for the confrontational removal of this agent. Perhaps this is because no good explanation exists.
