Vindicating James Files

Once dubbed the Rodney Dangerfield of the JFK assassination world by failed historian Vincent Bugliosi, James Files at last earns the respect of credibility. There is now sound evidence to substantiate the veracity of File's claimed involvement in the murder of President John F Kennedy in Dallas' Dealey Plaza on November 22, 1963.

In times past, these Chronicles have held James Files, nee Sutton, at arms' length because his story sounded far fetched and too easy - coming from a convicted felon who sought a glorious 15 minutes of fame. But a couple of developments have occurred which have caused us a change of mind.

Barry Krusch wrote a masterpiece defending Lee HARVEY Oswald against the libelous accusations of the Warren Commission - perhaps better known as the Accessories After the Fact Commission. He developed a legal case using legal standards of evidence as the basis for concluding that the co-conspirators' case against Oswald didn't stand a snow ball's chance in hell of prevailing in court.

The Commission's report is riddled with lies, manufactured evidence, tortured logic, and discrepancies too numerous to cover here. As an example, Krusch covers the lack of chain of custody of key evidence which demolishes the argument that 3 bullet casings were found in the 6th floor of the CIA's Texas School Book Depository front company. With meticulous care, the author shows that the casings found at TSBD were most likely not the casings which the Warren Commissioners examined. The shortcomings of the casings evidence is enough to implode the entire case against Oswald.

Given this virtuoso treatment of the evidence, our ears perked up when Krusch introduced Files as a credible witness for the frontal shot which murdered the president. Files is the man who testified in prison that he, Charles Nicoletti, and Johnny Roselli were given an assignment to murder Kennedy. Roselli and Nicoletti were in the Dal-Tex building while Files was behind the fence at the Grassy Knoll. Both hit the president's head within less than a split second of each other, explaining the sudden reversal of head motion in such a short time as seen in the Zapruder film. The two shots instantly killed the president.

However, Files provided one detail which extended him a lease on credibility for us when he mentioned the mercury loaded .222 caliber round he used to take the President's life. This information corresponded well with the information Robert Kennedy obtained when he had the Cartier watch which his brother wore in the limousine forensically examined. However, there is a small discrepancy in the information each party provided. The analysis of the watch found military grade cyanide whereas Files said that he used a mercury loaded round. It is possible that both accounts are true or that Files withheld information. But either way, it is clear that toxic chemicals were used to guarantee that Kennedy would not survive under even the most miraculous circumstances.

These disclosures occurred independently of each other, separated by decades, thus increasing my confidence in the correctness of the information and credibility of the witness.

This revelation about Files in no way minimizes the role of the Military Industrial Complex in removing the president. Instead it allows us to fill in another missing piece of this 3 dimensional puzzle of the destruction of the American republic.

I will allow a certain amount aloofness toward Files given the less than ideal circumstances of the information, but for now, the best evidence supports his general veracity.

I have both of Files' interviews and the accusation of Files wanting 15 minutes of fame never made sense to me. If that were true, he met Oliver Stone while in prison and it stands to reason that he would have tried to tell Stone his story but he didn't. In fact, Files didn't even tell Joe West his story and the entire reason that he confessed is because West was murdered as a result of trying to have Kennedy's body exhumed to look for traces of mercury.

Remember also that Files mentioned biting down on the shell casing and leaving it on the scene. Well, there was a casing found in the area that Files claimed to be in and it had teeth markings. As far as I'm concerned, the matter of who fired the kill shot is solved. Of course, you still have the CIA, the Chicago outfit, Texas oil men, Carlos Marcello and others who were involved. Hell, I even heard that LBJ's personal hitman, Malcolm Wallace, was a shooter as well.
