On this 50th anniversary of the assassination of
President Kennedy, it is possible that the true story will soon be
understood. It has taken fifty years, but thanks to the indefatigable efforts
of a small number of freelance journalists and authors, a clear picture is
emerging which is even uglier than conspiracy theorists first imagined. Print,
video and blog media have been busy at work, and much can be found to enlighten
and confuse.
The short version is this: Conspiracy is no longer crazy
theory. It is certain, albeit convoluted. The frontal shot from the grassy
knoll is indisputable evidence supporting triangulated gunfire.
One man, James
Files, has come forward as the Mafia hit man behind the fence on the knoll who
fired the right frontal shot that spewed blood and brain matter out of the back of JFK’s head onto witnesses who
have testified being hit by same. Of course there are those who dismiss James
Files’s videotaped confession as unreliable, but his story is worth considering
seriously. See for yourself by starting with Hillel Levin’s 2011 article in
Playboy entitled How the Outfit Killed
JFK and Files’s confession on video (2 URLs:

Who actually killed JFK is one question. Who organized the
assassination is more complicated. The most startling evidence, however, is
that which implicates Lyndon Johnson as the person who ordered the assassination.
The nine part video series The Men Who Killed
Kennedy has aired over the last decade on the History Channel, but after
the airing of the ninth episode which focused on LBJ’s role in the murder, law
suits from LBJ supporters forced the series off the networks. Episodes can
still be viewed on youtube. The first six episodes covered material used in
Oliver Stone’s film JFK, but episodes 7,8, and 9 shed important new light on
the case, especially the LBJ connection in episode 9, entitled The Guilty Men.
Most recently, Roger Stone’s anticipated book The Man Who Killed Kennedy: The Case Against
LBJ could turn out to be the analysis that undoes the Warren Report. It is not a certainty, though, because a government-orchestrated cover-up continues to
be robust. Materials that were released piecemeal over the years had much
edited out with black marker. Supposedly
all remaining evidence will be released either in 2017 or 2029 depending on
whom you read. Either way, full truth requires transparency with access to all
evidence, and it is already too late for that.
In a recent op-ed in the LA Times, Richard M. Mosk, former
staff member of the Warren Commission, finished his piece with “I hope on this
50th anniversary the public will be skeptical of new criticism of
the commission and be more doubtful of the new conspiracy theories than of the
Warren Commission.” Who would use such language without an
agenda? It is hardly a truth-seeking
statement. The Warren Report had trouble from the start and has lost
credibility gradually over the years as courageous individuals have slowly come
forward to make statements. A better hope to have is complete transparency from
the FBI, CIA, Secret Service, and other government bodies involved so that the
truth about JFK’s murder, ugly or not, coup d’etat or not, becomes known and we
can start the process of healing this long-standing national wound.
