What if James Files shot JFK , like he said ?

[Izraul Hidashi]

None, but the Robert Hughes film shows someone in the window. I'm sure you already know this.

Yup. And the man in the window was wearing a white collard shirt. Oswald was wearing a checkered flannel one.

Like the HSCA, I am convinced the JFK assassination was a conspiracy and it's just a matter of figuring out how they did it. We must start with the assumption that this was a coup d'etat and go from there. Every good coup d'etat needs a patsy and Oswald was it. He had no prints on the murder weapons, his scope wasn't sighted-in, he was found at the wrong place to be the assassin, he got a job 3 weeks before the motorcade route handed JFK to him on a silver platter, there isn't a viable trajectory for the MB to have done what it did then magically show up unscathed on the wrong gurney, and on and freakin on.

The DPD were obviously sheep-dipping Oswald and their handling of the evidence was proof that they were involved in the cover up. You have to ignore such a mountain of circumstantial evidence to be a LNer that they are more WC defenders than LN theorists. They are Conspiracy Deniers foremost because a whole lot of denial is required to stick with the fringe LN hypothesis.

As far as speculating who the actual conspirators/assassins were, the skeptics paint E. Howard Hunt's confession along with James Files claims. They think that dirty rats can't be trusted to tell the truth period. But what was in it for Hunt to confess? It wasn't a badge of honor assassinating the beloved JFK. It could only bring shame to his family to sell out for a book deal. Files didn't even have that option. He was pretty much ignored and written off as nuttier than Oswald himself. But he gave 3 details that made me sit up and take notice:

1) He claimed that he used a Remington Fireball that shot .222 caliber frangible bullets. The Fireball was the best weapon of its kind back in 63 and perfect for the job. And if JFK's head was not struck by a frangible bullet then I'll eat a bug!

Files' shot from the knoll caused a right temple blowout and you can see the fireball in JFK's head at Z frame 317. That is NOT sunlight reflecting off of brain matter. Deny this at your peril.



2) He claimed that the turkey shoot was intended to make near simultaneous shots sound like 1 and that his shot happened a split second after another shot had struck JFK in the head from the front (back then to the left), which is what the Z film shows.



3) He claimed to have bit a dent into the shell casing and dropped it at the site so he could claim bragging rights when someone found it. There was a spent .222 casing found at the site in 1987 by John Rademacher and it matched his description exactly. Analysis of the hull estimated it had likely been in the ground for 24 years as claimed. Skeptics scoff this off as an obvious hoax, but that's because they are conspiracy denialists 1st and critical thinkers 2nd.



Given the original assumption that this was a conspiracy and Oswald was not a LN, IMO James Files is an excellent candidate to be one of the shooters, of which there were several.

Or maybe some people actually did research, and they learned that the bullets found in 1987 weren't actually manufactured until 1971. Or so the employees at Remington say when I got a copy of the head bunter matrix for the .222 shells, which proves Files is full of spombleprofglidnoctobuns.

And a critical thinker would know the minute they heard the shells were buried in the dirt, it was bullspombleprofglidnoctobuns. Do you really think Files placed a shell on the fence and nobody saw or found it for 24 years? Even though the police searched that area and tourists have been going there ever since? The shells went so unnoticed that they buried themselves in the dirt, right? And that's critical thinking? smh

Does anyone truly believe that Files would be let out of jail if he killed the President? Because I'm pretty sure there's no statute of limitations on murder. If you openly admit to murdering someone, your dumb ass will go to jail for it. Unless the police know you're full of crap.

Files said that he was an insurance shooter shooting from the front because the other shooters were all behind JFK's Limo and at a certain point the head shot had not been made , so Files took his shot. As Files told the story of what happened that day , he said he was aiming for JFK's right eye , but a shot from behind hitting JFK in the upper back , just a split second before Files shot hit JFK made him lower his head and lunge somewhat forward making Files shot hit JFK in the right temple . The Limo had come to a stop during the sequence of shots but there are those who said the Limo never stopped .

Files is a liar. His shells were discovered in 1987, manufactured in 1971. Unless Files is a time traveler who took shells from 1971 back to 1963, he's full of spombleprofglidnoctobuns. And the shooters were in the pergola, neither of which are James Files. If he had any knowledge of the incident, other than what he read in a book, he would have known where the real shooters were. He's nothing but a con man. The FBI didn't even take him seriously or he'd still be in jail. There's no statute of limitation on murder, and if you're dumb enough to confess to a murder, you'll be going to jail. These things aren't rocket science.

I think the claim would be more accurately described as motion behind the window rather than “someone in the window”.

Coupled with the video and Brennan and Normans description its far more evidence than we have for anyone behind the fence.

No, there are witnesses for both. You’re just choosing which ones you want to believe.

First, let's see your proof. Second, why would conman Files plant a hull from the wrong time? Third, you assume that Files knew the planted hull was a hoax, which you don't. Fourth, how did Files know JFK was struck by a frangible bullet a split second after a bullet struck him from the front causing his head to move back and to the left?

It's not just about the spent hull with his bite mark, which I will reserve judgement on until you post your analysis disqualifying it. Files knew details re the Turkey Shoot, which IMO were borne out many years later. Otherwise, bragging rights aside, I don't see what was in it for him other than a book deal, which never materialized. This case can never be resolved while the conspiracy deniers keep sweeping all potential evidence under the rug in a rush to judgement.

It was James Files' twin brother
