Photo of John Keel's Men in Black at Nixon Inauguration

[TheBitterOne]

In January 1969, during Nixon's first inauguration, I was very interested to notice three men in black suits looking very much like our classical men-in-black sitting together a few rows from the front, right behind Nixon when be gave his inaugural address. Every time the television cameras shot Nixon from a particular angle, I could see these three men. They seemed out of place. Of course they could have been ambassadors from Vietnam or something.

I wondered afterward if my imagination had been running away from me. I got a hold of all the magazines I could find with pictures of the inauguration; and I went over them with a magnifying glass; but I could not find those three guys. Yet I had seen them very clearly on television.

I was surprised nobody else had seemed to have gone looking for images featuring these possible MIBs, so I did it myself and found the incongruously-hatted trio in question:

Although the three are more obscured in this photo, there were certainly other people wearing hats that day, so that does not necessarily make them incongruous. In fact, the MIB could have blended in rather well given the preferred color of the day:

And at some point they took off their hats:

Given who was being inaugurated, when viewed from the right angle, I find a lot of people to be suspicious. If I had to choose, I might worry more about the illuminatti/bilderberg/majestic-12 presence at the inauguration than the MIB, but all you really need is to look at the concentration of wealth, power, and the military-industrial interests.

Keel's statement is interesting, though, in showing how our minds try to fill in the blanks when we look at an event.
