One could argue President Kennedy's assassination is the ultimate unsolved mystery, as it was The Crime of the 20th Century.
It's not everyday we witness a man confess to murdering President Kennedy, but that is exactly what James E. Files does in the video interview seen below who was interviewed by renowned JFK assassination expert, Jim Marrs in 2003. I would go so far as to say it sounds too good or bad to be true—depending on how you look at it. This is a really interesting video interview with an interesting backstory. I first saw this video interview years ago, and I thought it was totally legit when James Files admitted to having shot President Kennedy.
Years later, I became aware of people who have a lot of knowledge of the Kennedy assassination dismiss James E. Files confession for having shot President Kennedy, saying Files is a conman who wanted to write a book and make money about the JFK assassination. They apparently suggest he made his confession all up.
When I originally watched Files interview years ago, I could barely keep up or understand the significance of many of the people Files talked about, like gangsters, Sam Giancana, Charles 'Chuck' Nicoletti, and Johnny Roselli. A fellow JFK assassination researcher recently shared this video interview with me as he thought is was very compelling in many ways, and I said: "Oh yeah!?!! I watched that years ago..."
And then I decided to watch it again. I will say now that I have a much better understanding of the the Kennedy assassination history, what James E. Files says, really ads up. In particular, James Files claims that CIA Special Operations Officer, David Atlee Phillips was his controller/handler in Dallas Texas, and that he worked with Lee Harvey Oswald for the 5 days prior to the Kennedy Assassination.
James Files claims he was born James Sutton, on January 24, 1942 in Alabama. James E. Files said he was highly accomplished marksman in the Army 82nd Airborne in 1959, where he served in an operation in Laos doing counterintelligence. He mentioned he knew and worked with Fletcher Prouty.

He also claimed David Atlee Phillips was Lee Harvey Oswald's CIA controller/handler and had introduced him to Lee Harvey Oswald long before the Kennedy Assassination when they worked for the CIA on a different gun running project in Louisiana. He went on to say that David Atlee Phillips worked with him because he was a highly trained marksman.
He further claims that Johnny Roselli (AKA Colonel Ralston) was the liaison between the CIA and Organized Crime, and that he was also close with CIA agent, Frank Sturgis. Files mentioned he drove Johnny Roselli to Forth Worth to meet Jack Ruby, and that Jack Ruby gave Roselli a folder with the updated Kennedy parade route, along with some fake id cards.
He goes on to say that Sam Giancana was the boss in charge of the Kennedy assassination on behalf of the mob. He says Giancana was the number two man from the Chicago outfit, who reported to Tony Accardo.
James Files claims he shot President Kennedy from behind the Grassy Knoll fence at a range of 30-35 yards (100 feet) with a prototype 222 short rifle named the Fireball made by Remington with a 3 power scope on it, which was given to him by David Atlee Phillips 8 months to a year prior to the Kennedy assassination, and it was used for prior assassinations. He also said Charles 'Chuck' Nicoletti shot President Kennedy from behind from the Dal-Tex building.
He claimed it used special ammunition with bullet tips dipped in mercury. He said he believes he saw Jack Ruby, Frank Sturgis and Cuban Revolutionary, Orlando Bosh was in Dealy Plaza during the Kennedy Assassination. He also mentioned that shots were fired from the Dal-Tex building.
Files also wrote a book about the subject titled "Interview with History: The JFK Assassination", which I have not had a chance to read yet, but look forward to. I highly recommend watching James' fascinating interview as seen above. James is still alive and is currently age 81, and despite the fact he has confessed to murdering President Kennedy has never been formally charged or brought to trial, which I find to be VERY peculiar!?!!

August 28, 2023 represents the 60th Anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's March on Washington.
One issue rarely discussed is if there was any correlation between President Kennedy's assassination and his relationship with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr? I would argue there was more to this than meets the eye which I will go more into detail on later in this article.
I believe JFK's relationship with MLK represents one of many reasons the CIA and FBI spearheaded and participated in the assassination of President Kennedy.
Specifically, the CIA and FBI thought Kennedy was not only soft on Communism, but equally soft on empathizing and promoting African Americans. In other words, they believed JFK's role in facilitating the March on Washington, and congratulating MLK was bad for America, in that both CIA Director, Allen Dulles and FBI Director, J. Edgar Hoover were white supremacist that thought people of color and minorities should continue to be segregated and not kept down.
MLK Meets JFK
President Kennedy invited Martin Luther King to the White House to talk about civil rights on October 16, 1962.
On December 17, 1962, President Kennedy invited Dr. Martin Luther King back to the White House to discuss civil rights. In the photo below we see American civil right leader Roy Wilkins standing behind Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who is shaking hands with Adlai Stevenson who was the United States Ambassador to the United Nations, who is standing next to President Kennedy in the Oval Office.
I Have A Dream Speech
March On Washington D.C.
August 28, 1963
This next image is extremely profound as it offers an unusual view from behind Abraham Lincoln's statue located in the Lincoln Memorial, in Washington D.C., and we witness Abraham Lincoln witnessing what he set out to achieve. The symbology behind this image is amazing if you think about it!!! It is also a profound irony Abraham Lincoln was likely assassinated for trying to protect people that could not protect themselves.
"Beyond the reflecting pool, stand the dignified columns of the Lincoln Memorial. Whoever would understand in his heart the meaning of America will find it in the life of Abraham Lincoln." –President Ronald Reagan.
Martin Luther King Jr's, I Have A Dream speech is one of the deepest and most profound speeches any man has ever given:
JFK invited MLK and other civil rights leaders who participated in the March on Washington to meet with him in the Oval Office at the White House on August 28, 1963.
This political demonstration garnered more political coverage than any other in history. It was crystal-clear that JFK understood and supported the Civil Rights Movement.
I believe the powers that be in the United States that decided to assassinate President Kennedy created a pro/con list and one of the top pro assassination reasons—among many others—was they thought JFK was promoting REAL civil rights in a meaningful way, which they were radically apposed to. I am NOT saying this was the main reason, but likely played a significant role in their decision to end his life.
Robert Groden is one of the world's leading JFK Assassination researchers. In the video at the bottom of this Post there are screenshots from Robert Groden's latest book that showcase an alleged Memorandum from CIA Director, John McCone to the Chief of the U.S. Secret Service and it is dated March 3, 1965.
This document alleges that the CIA confirmed accused presidential assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald had worked for the CIA as a spy since 1957. It also says that CIA and FBI personnel were involved in President Kennedy's Assassination assassination, but the Agency itself was not responsible. The letter also mentions that the Director of the FBI, J. Edger Hoover was investigating Jimmy Hoffa's potential involvement with Lee Harvey Oswald.

The video below is AMAZING, despite the fact of the warning that it is age restricted so you can only watch it on YouTube.
This next excellent video from 1989 features former CIA officer, John Stockwell and really collaborates and supports a great deal on the CIA and FBI's involvement in the Assassination of President Kennedy.
April 26, 2024: Joe Rogan interviewed filmmaker, Bart Sibrel and they had a super fascinating conversation on the top of whether or not we really went to the moon.
August 21, 2023 Update: I just watched this video which features Charles Duke, who was the pilot for the lunar shuttle aboard Apollo 16 in 1972 and he is one of only twelve Apollo Astronauts who claimed they walked on the moon:
Did We REALLY Go To The Moon?
Did we really go to the moon? I don't know. I genuinely hope we went to the moon, but I have seen a great deal of evidence that suggests we never went to the moon.
This article attempts to separate the fact from the fiction, which is not always easy. I plan to keep updating this article until I draw a formal conclusion.
There are many, many, many inconsistencies with the official narrative. For instance, if we spent $36 million on the moon buggy, why is all the photographic and video footage is so low resolution? Most importantly, why haven't we gone back to the moon yet, and why aren't there bases on the moon today?
Think about that for a second!!! If you drive a car today that was manufactured in 1969, which is 55 years ago, it is like driving a car from the Flinststones. Chances are it probably has windows that have to be cranked up by hand, and it probably has drum brakes, and certainly lacks GPS Navigation.
Even better, compare a portable phone from 1969 to an iPhone 14 Pro Max. What a minute, they didn't have any portable phones in 1969, but they had payphones all over the place. You get the idea... I find it very hard, if not almost impossible to believe we had the technology in 1969 to go to the moon, and come back, but we can't do it today???? This makes ZERO sense!!!!
President Kennedy gave one of his greatest, and most inspirational speeches at Rice University which is commonly referred to today as the "Why go to the moon speech", which can be seen below.
So did we REALLY go to the moon? I have a great deal of respect for Elon Musk's intellectual horsepower and integrity, and he said he is 100% confident we did go to the moon, and if anybody should know, it would be Elon. On the flip side of that coin I have seen quite a bit of evidence that suggests the contrary. This article explores both sides of the coin...
One of the long running rumors suggested the famous director, Stanley Kubrick, was involved in faking the moon landing video footage. I recall seeing a documentary years ago named "The Dark Side Of The Moon", which, if I recall correctly, featured Kubrick's widow saying he was responsible for faking the moon landing video. Below is a fascinating authentic photo that shows Stanley Kubrick walking with some NASA executives.
From left to right: Wearing All White: Frederick Ordway III (NASA Advisor), Donald "Deke" Slayton, (NASA Mercury 'Original 7' Astronaut & NASA's first Chief of the of the Astronaut Office and Director of Flight Crew Operations, Arthur C. Clarke (Science Fiction Author who wrote 2001: A Space Odyssey), Unknown (behind Clarke), Stanley Kubrick (Director of 2001: A Space Odyssey 1968), George Mueller (Senior NASA Administrator for Apollo Project and Director of Flight Crew Operations).
The context of the photo above is from a grand tour that Dr. George Muller (Director of NASA Flight Crew Operations) and "Deke" Slayton (Director of Flight Crew Operations) took on the set of 2001 A Space Odyssey on September 25, 1964.
The video below, which is alleged to be an interview of Stanley Kubrick from May of 1999 by filmmaker T. Patrick Murray was supposedly shot just 3 days before Kubrick passed away, and has been circulating on the internet since at least August of 2015.
It is suggested T. Patrick Murray agreed to sign an 88-page NDA to keep the contents secret for 15 years. When I first watched this I thought it was really compelling, but then I learned it has been attacked as being potentially fraudulent with an actor pretending to be Kubrick, which seems pretty elaborate to me...So is this video part of a psyop, or is it authentic?
The interview suggests Kubrick confessed to being personally responsible for creating fake footage of the moon landing for Apollo 11 and 13.
"A spokesman for Kubrick's widow also proclaimed that the interview is a lie, Stanley Kubrick has never been interviewed by T.Patrick Murray the whole story is made up, fraudulent and untrue."
Just for frame of reference, the video below is of Stanley Kubrick in 1998, which would have been shot a year before the video in controversy which is seen above. When I study many of the unique facial characteristics between both videos they seem to be a match for me. Particularly details like
-Shape and color of his eyebrows
-His nose seems to be a perfect match, including the unusual tip which has a slight cleft to it. This includes the mole located on the left side of his upper nose (or does it? We will take a closer look soon).
-His overall facial shape as well as the beard pattern is very similar despite the fact his beard has grown longer by 1999. The video below was shot on, or prior to March 8, 1998, and the video above was shot in May of 1999, which would have been 14 months later. If the man in the video never cut his hair or beard over the course of 14 months, it should look and be very similar to the man in the video above who is purported to be Kubrick.
-The eyeglasses are different, but similar in style, and the prescription looks to be about the same.
-The age/aging of both men are entirely consistent.
-The skin appearance is consistent with both men.
I created the comp below that takes a photo of the real Stanley Kubrick taken in March of 1998 on the left, and an image from the purported video of Kubrick. Then I converted both to black and white, and I airbrushed out his eyeglasses. Then on the left image I airbrushed the light to create the same shadow. To my eyes, it sure looks like the same man...
There is one serious inconsistency I can't seem to reconcile that would suggest the man is NOT Stanley Kubrick!?!! As seen below, the real Stanley Kubrick appears to have a dark brown mole on the left side of his upper nose which appears to be about 3/4 of an inch from his left eye (right side below).
The man in the purported video also has a mole on the left side of his face, but it appears to be lighter in color, much larger, and seems to be located much lower, (1.25 inches below his eye) and further away from his nostrils.
There could be many different explanations for this, including different camera angles, or perhaps since he may have been in ill health, the lower mole may have grown over the course of the 14 months between the images. I will investigate this more, but this is worth pointing out.
In the photo below of Stanley Kubrick taken decades earlier we might see the upper mole, but notice his crazy hairstyle that is grown really long on the sides, which is consistent with the man alleged to be Kubrick in the moon confession interview.
The Epoch Times published an article in 2015 saying that:
"A video that purports to be of legendary film director Stanley Kubrick saying the NASA Apollo moon landings were "fake" and a "hoax" is probably not real. A spokesperson for Kubrick's family told Gawker: "The interview is a lie, Stanley Kubrick has never been interviewed by T.Patrick Murray the whole story is made up, fraudulent & untrue."
The more I study and think about this, the more I am on the fence—so to speak. The facial characteristics do look similar, and if the man who is purported to be Kubrick is not, then the actor would deserve an Academy Award for his performance. Particularly based up his knowledge base and lightning fast, naturally organic answers.
That being said, there is some strange language in the video interview that suggests it might not be him...In particular there is some bizarre language that suggests the interviewer might be directing him.
My understanding is the original interview was 2 hours long, but the version above is only an hour and twenty minutes long. The version below has additional footage. In particular the discussion about Neal Armstrong's role.
The video below is also fascinating as it features a man who claims his father was forced to conceal that the moon landings were fake:
The documentaries below goes into great detail on how the alleged moon landing hoax worked:
As a U.S. Presidential Historian I put together this blog as my notebook in cyberspace to share everything I have discovered about President John F. Kennedy's amazing career and lifetime achievements. I believe JFK is the best Modern American President in History.
I genuinely hope you find this journey to be as fascinating as I do.
