According to his official Facebook page he died of a heart attack on Wednesday. He had recently been put on dialysis.

The Fort Worth-native was a mainstay on late-night radio show "Coast to Coast AM" and the "Alex Jones' Infowars" program.

I didn’t care much for Him Marrs’ conspiracy theories, but his investigatory work on UFOs was first rate. He was a helluva newsman, and a great Texan.

We’ll miss you, Jim.

Actually, once you realize that the conspiracy theories are BS distortions and fabrications, and understand that undermining the Warren Report was a major goal of the KGB, you recognize the methods at work in the “collusion scandal” being thrown at Trump. Lies, innuendo, disinformation. Mark Lane was an early practitioner.

Did he report that the majority of witnesses said the shoots came from the direction of the School Book Depository building? Did he interview Oswald’s coworkers who heard sounds of the bolt action and shell casings hitting the floor above them? Did he talk to the guy who saw the gun protruding from the sixth floor window?

I doubt it.

I have found his work to very very interesting and informative. I personally have Crossfire, Rule by Secrecy, Trillion Dollar Conspiracy, The Rise of the Fourth Reich, and Above Top Secret. Will miss hearing him on C2CAM.

I forget. If i say the mob was very mad at the kennedys or that LBJ had the most to gain, are those BS distortions or fabrications? Just asking.

Thanks to everyone for your replies on this thread. You've boosted my knowledge/appreciation of Jim (and Texxe) Marrs by several points, and confirmed in my own mind that being skeptical about the "official version" of events will likely brand one as a conspiracy theorist by the intelligencia in the news media.

Incidentally, although most consider the phrase "conspiracy theory" useful to discredit an author or speaker without bothering to produce a counter-argument, not all such theories are fake, phony or pure fantasy. Look it up in Wikipedia.

The truth will eventually come out.

I would call those interesting observations that have no effect on factual evidence one way or the other, wouldn’t you?

not all of the conspiracy theories are based on distortions. you comment is factually inaccurate. there’s plenty of cats to show that LBJ and the mafia independently had strong reasons to kill the president.

Also, I believe in the old adage. Who benefited the most. the answer is clearly Johnson. on the motive factor my money is on one of these two or both. it wouldn’t have been the first tme the government asked Roselli to kill a president.

Tp call this information distortions is just wrong and neglects the point that there are distortions in the commission;s report, dissent, and you can see three or four other reasoned arguments to not believe it right here on this thread.

You can’t prove a crime by who benefits, especially when there’s no evidence. Those pesky facts sometimes get in the way!

Motivation is one key element of a crime, especially murder.

so here’s three scenarios and you will see that yours is just a delusional as the others, probably more so.

1. The president and his brother after winning the election with mob help, prosecuted the mob even kidnapping Marcello off the street and dumping him in Guatemala. nobody ever treated Marcello that way and his boss in chicago may have not been pleased. just a guess. you know mafia guys are sensitive about being disrespected. The mob was fed up and decide to kill him after their father stroked out and couldn’t stop them.

2. LBJ was older than kennedy and less popular and very ambitious and not used to being lreagted to state funerals. He rabidly ewanted to be president. He hated the kennedy’s personally to boot and they treated him with disdain. by the way there are hundreds of witnesses to this. Kennedy went to Dallas and LBJ had him killed just as he had hired hit men in the past and stolen elections. and he made statements to witnesses that things were improving soon. Do you think this was reference to interstate Hwy repairs?

3. Lee harvey Oswald worked in a building where the president’s car coincidentally came by after the route was recently changed and he shot him and the top was off the limo. he must have known that when he brought the rifle to work ahead of time, huh. Then Ruby shoots him from in front, in the PD garage. coincidentally the three cops escorting him were on each side and the back, escorting the most notorious suspect since Booth. No one in front. Ruby says he loved jackie. maybe now that her husband was dead, he would have had a shot at her and he benefited from the assassination.

You cannot prove everything, but you have to consider motivation and as my father said when we watched Ruby shoot oswald, they shut him up forever. if they wanted him to talk they would have protected him.

A President of the United States is assassinated in broad daylight in a major US city in front of any number of people and 54 years later we are still arguing about what really happened. Now that is certainly fascinating.

Absolutely correct, please apply to the WC conclusions. you might go through the thread and ask yourself how so many contradictions and questions remain.

Logic is rational thought used by sentient beings. and motivation is a key part of crime.

Good night.
