Mob hitman who says he was the man on the grassy knoll and killed JFK to be released

Mob hitman who says he was the man on the grassy knoll and killed JFK to be released - and he still insists he did it

A man who claims he assassinated President John F. Kennedy has been moved this week from a high security jail to a less secure one in Illinois in preparation for his release next spring after 36 years behind bars.

James Files, 72, says that he was the man on the grassy knoll back on November 22, 1963, and that he fired the bullet into Kennedy's head that ultimately killed him.

Now, the CIA and other US secret agencies are preparing for scores of conspiracy theories as Files identifies himself yet again as the missing piece of the Kennedy story.

The route was changed at the last minute. How would Oswald have known where to be?

Security was changed, too.

The shots were fired at the perfect opportunity for triangulation, as the car had slowed down.

I was alive, and no one knew the details...but around where I lived, people thought LBJ was in it up to his eyeballs.

The question was who stood to benefit. Viet Nam War mongers, the mainline Democrat party, and (in retrospect) the progressives at the Fed. Anyway, people didn’t talk about these forces, as the people weren’t dumb.

Mainly it tells me that the driver of JFK’s car pulled a .45 auto out from his shoulder holster, and discharged a hollow point slug through the foreword portion of JFK’s left temple, which caused the back of his head to explode.

It tells me many other things, but none nearly so important as that simple fact.

Oswald is utterly irrelevent to any of this.

Obviously he was a pawn in the plan, but he didn’t bring about JFK’s death.

JFK’s death was set up by the most powerful forces in the world, and the motive was strictly his monetary policies.
_________

So did LBJ change those policies?

I agree.

It was my understanding from my parents that JFK had gone down to Dallas to mend fences in the Democrat party.

The “Grassy Knollers” rank right up there with 9/11 Trufers.

His death prevented his ordered printing of 20 billion dollars as Silver Certificates, and any further initiatives to protect the American people from the actions of the Fed.

Could the misidentification be a mistake? I don't know. Suffice it to say that LEOs are far more familiar with firearms types than are civilians. Also, the assassination took place only 18 years after the end of World War II. The police forces of the time were staffed to a great extent by veterans of that war. Certainly those who served in the European theater were familiar with the .

Sure. Elvis was seen by many witnesses.

And alien abduction often results in pregancy.

As I figured!

You probably don’t even have any grasp of what a Trufer really is.

The documentary about this Files guy, and interviews with him, will be on Newsmax in a few minutes — 4 p.m. E.T.

Not to mention that Sam Giancanna in Chicago and Carlos Marcella in NO supposedly skewed the votes so JFK would win, with the understanding on Joe Kennedy’s part that the Kennedy clan wouldn’t go after the mob.

When they did, through Bobbie Kennedy, supposedly they were furious...

I have one of the earliest silver certificates, I believe, from his first go at it. I specifically remember my mom handing it to me and telling me how important it was, as it was backed up by silver.

I don’t know if any of JFK’s silver certificates ever got printed.

The silver certs that most have are Ike’s series of 1957.

You make some good points. One of the most interesting things for me is that the Secret Service detail guarding the President in Dallas had reportedly been out drinking heavily the night before which would have slowed their reflexes in responding to an attack. I don’t know that anything could have saved JFK; but someone carefully examining the open windows of the Book Depository may have been able to do so.
