I have often thought that there very well could have been two independent assassins, totally unknown to each other, chose that time and place to do the deed. The Giancana mob wanted Kennedy dead and so did others. The CIA and others didn’t like the status quo. So, Oswald was set up but failed in his attempt but the Mob didn’t................

As always, memorable events and personalities bring forward all sorts of “I was there” claims. Usually, these claims are little more than a way for oddballs to draw attention to themselves, often in the hope of making money. There are few if any serious JFK researchers who regard James Files as credible.

James Files' account of the events in Dallas is fascinating. For a lower-level mobster, he saw what was going on at ground level, but unsure what was happening at higher echelons of the Chicago mafia.

And the telling sign was that the FBI and New York Times went far too out of their way to discredit Files after his interview. If he was a screwball, they would have ignored him.

Here is his 1994 interview:

Bobby Kennedy as the AG was closing in on the corrupt bastards that made up Johnson’s inner circle.

Johnson was definitely in on the plan.

Sure there were, and more than two. There was a guy in the sewer, on the grassy knoll, behind the board fence, in the pergola, on the triple under pass. In fact, everywhere but the Book Depository. Everyone there was watching Oswald in the lunchroom eating fried chicken.

Face it folks....there are some things we will never know. There are also many folks who outright lie or are confused about the events going on around them or in their own lives.

Sorry about that, Plato, your wish for the ideal citizen ain’t happening.

Files claims to have known too many people and is too chatty for someone with supposed organized crime affiliations. The idea of David Atlee Phillips as Files' controller is implausible. His failure to refer to Phillips' cover name of Maurice Bishop is suspect.

Files' claim to have known Lee Harvey Oswald is not credible. Mercury filled .22 rounds are absurd, something a novelist would come up with.

Overall, Files' account of the assassination is muddled and lacks indicia of compartmentalization and other routine security measures. The lack of linear narrative and corroborating details adds to my impression that Files stitched it with bits from books, prison chatter, and a lot of invention.

What would Files get out of it all? Conning an eager researcher into a few bucks or a deposit into his prison commissary account would do.

I was there in Dallas County that day, a mere 12 miles from the Grassy Knoll. I was 6 and in first grade.

We may never know - I still think LBJ and the CIA were part of it.
