Newsmax – by Jim MeyersMafia hit man James Files says in interviews first aired nationally on Newsmax TV Thursday night that he worked along with major mob figures and fired the shot that killed Kennedy from the grassy knoll at Dealey Plaza in Dallas.
Friday, Nov. 22 marks the 51st anniversary of President John F. Kennedy’s tragic assassination and Newsmax TV marked the occasion by airing the provocative premiere of the blockbuster documentary “I Killed JFK”, featuring never-before-seen footage of Kennedy’s confessed killer.
The documentary, produced by Hollywood’s Barry Katz, presents convincing forensic evidence supporting Files’ contention that he, and not Lee Harvey Oswald, fired the fatal shot at America’s 35th president.
“I squeezed off my round. I hit him and blew his head backward,” Files said of the single shot he fired that fateful day.
“I Killed JFK” Executive Producer Barry Katz said: “Until now, no one has ever confessed to the murder of JFK, and most people still believe that Lee Harvey Oswald was the killer. After the world sees this special, I am confident that the greatest mystery of our generation will finally be solved.”
Files, who changed his name from Jimmy Sutton, was born in Alabama in 1942, and after a stint in the Army became associated with both the Chicago mob and the CIA.
He worked under mobster Charles “Chuckie” Nicoletti, an underling of mob boss Sam Giancana. Giancana and other mobsters had been angered by the president’s brother, Robert, who as U.S. attorney general was targeting organized crime in a major prosecution effort.
Retired FBI Special Agent Zack Shelton appears in the documentary and reveals that he provided inside information to private investigator and Kennedy assassination investigator Joe West about Files possible connection to the Kennedy killing.
Two decades after the assassination, Files told West he would confess to Kennedy’s killing in return for immunity from prosecution. West was negotiating on Files’ behalf when he died in 1993.
Files is currently incarcerated at the Danville Correctional Center in Danville, Ill. He was convicted of the attempted murder of two police officers during a roadside shootout in 1991 and sentenced to 50 years in prison.
The documentary chronicles how Files, along with Nicoletti and mobster Johnny Roselli, came to be in Dallas on the day Kennedy was assassinated.
In his “I Killed JFK” interviews from prison, Files tells why he chose to position himself on the grassy knoll to await JFK’s motorcade while another shooter took a different position.
“I’ve got the railroad yard in back of me,” he said. “We got a parking lot there and I got a place where I could stash whatever I would need, and I could pass myself off as a worker in the railroad yard for the time being until the time comes and nobody would really pay any attention to me.”
Shortly before the assassination, Files said, “I went back to the plaza, got my briefcase out with the gun in it. I went into the railroad yard, put it away where nobody could see it.”
As the Kennedy motorcade entered the plaza and made a turn, the president’s car cruised past a street sign in front of Files.
“That’s when I started focusing through the scope. As far as I can see at this point the president has not been hit in the head. I’ve seen the body lurch. I know he’s been hit. How serious I don’t know.
“But my last instructions were we’re going for head shots. If you have to take a shot take it, but don’t fire unless you really have to.
“I was aiming at his right eye. When I pulled the trigger it was almost like looking from six feet away through the scope.
“As I squeezed his head moved forward. I missed and got it right along the temple, right behind the eye. I squeezed off my round. I hit him and blew his head backward. I fired one shot and one shot only.
“I never saw Mr. Nicoletti shoot Kennedy but I know he was the man in the building who was supposed to be doing the shooting.
“As I was leaving Dealey Plaza nobody tried to stop me. There were two police officers within 20, 25 feet of me. I didn’t run. I just carried a natural gait and proceeded to exit, just like a businessman walking away from lunch.”
Files, who received no compensation for the interviews, spoke of a shell casing he ejected from his gun.
“I took the shell casing. I bit down on it. I looked at it and set it on the stockade fence. There was an indentation from my teeth on the shell casing.”
A man and his son discovered a casing of the same caliber in the area just behind where Files claimed he was positioned on the grassy knoll in 1987. The casing was buried four inches in the ground. A dental forensics expert confirmed that an indentation on the casing was made by human teeth.
Shelton is one of two former FBI agents who believe Files’ story is credible.
He said: “I have tried to verify Files’ story. A lot of that story I have been able to verify,” including that a shot was fired from the grassy knoll “exactly where Files said he was standing.”
The documentary presents mounds of other evidence that Kennedy’s assassination was not the work of a lone gunman and that Files’ account is more credible than the official version put forth by the Warren Commission.
Files himself asserts: “Oswald never fired a shot.”
“I Killed JFK” will re-broadcast on Newsmax TV on Friday, Nov. 21, at 11 p.m. and midnight EST, on Saturday at 2 a.m., 10 a.m., and 10 p.m. EST, on Sunday at midnight and 8 p.m. EST, and Monday at midnight EST.

Urgent: Should Obamacare Be Repealed? Vote Here Now!
question
why would you knowingly put forensic evidence that you murdered the president on a shell casing and leave it at the site of the crime?
why would you admit to it this far down the road?
why should anyone believe him? he’s a criminal
Now dont get me wrong , im just not convinced either way , not saying he did, not saying he didnt..just very unsure of his motive to come forward now is all
oh and asking for immunity from killing the President..yeah right not going to happen, there is no statute of limitations for the act of murder, so you cant ask for that after you already told your “story”…something stinks i just cant put my finger on it
maybe to throw attention away from the real killer…Kennedy’s driver. why else would Jackie try to crawl out of the back of the car like she did? the killer was IN the car. oh, I’m sure there were other shooters as well(not oswald) but others. also, if you research the executive orders he put in place before he was murdered, and actions he took in the best interest of the nation, that johnson repealed, you might be able to come to the conclusion that someone high up put this hit on him. and…why do you think JFK, Jr. started a magazine…named “George” …had nothing to do with the 1st president and EVERYTHING to do with the 41st. his own magazine gave him opportunity to print the truth, and the name he chose was a taunt/warning to the one person responsible for the murder of his father, that he would print the truth when he had proof, and he had finally received the proof he needed. how “convenient” was his death?
Jackie was head hunting on the trunk to refill JFK’s head.
I saw that on video at a friend’s house — the driver actually reaches into his jacket, draws a pistol, turns around and points it at Kennedy’s head, but I didn’t see him shoot. (I’m not saying that he didn’t shoot; only that I didn’t see it in that video)
I actually think there were several hit men, and the driver was one of them. I think he saw Kennedy’s head blown off by the grassy knoll shooter so he put his gun back in his jacket and kept driving.
“…the name he chose was a taunt/warning to the one person responsible for the murder of his father,…”
Ultimately, only Rothschild could have made that call.
“George”. Hey #1, when you disagree with tptb is when they start F’N with you.
It was a mafia hit alright but it was la kosher nostra. The peddlers of this diversionary tale are also of the same ilk. Rather coincidental that almost every key figure in that event was also kosher, much like the current events of today.
Some “people” are natural born liars as well as killers.
La Kosher Nostra IS la Cosa Nostra.
Look at the origins of the organizations we refer to as “the mafia” (which translates to “swagger”, or walk like a tough guy)
Dutch Shultz, Al Capone, Myer Lansky, Moe Green — all Jews at the foundation of the mafia, but Hollywood has convinced Americans that it’s an entirely Italian operation.
They use Italian mob families to do a lot of work for them, and the Italians (Sicilians, technically), have developed their own independent crime operations, but the upper echelons of the “Italian” mafia are Jews, who operated from behind the scenes just as they do in any government.
Don’t be fooled by Jewish Hollywood — The real “Godfather” is a Jew.
Yep. Spot on. All the shot callers and big wigs are joos and the footsoldiers paid with table scraps are the Italians who have gotten the blame for it as per zio-controlled media.
I saw the video you were talking about too JR. I did see the gun pulled but not seen a shot fired either. Most DEFINITELY several assassins present to double up on insurance.
His public murder was/is still a thinly veiled threat of the capabilities of tptb to intimidate anyone in public office who might decide to grow a conscience. Not that I believe anyone who has made it far in the feral govt hierarchy is capable of growing one, but hey, you can never be too careful?
They had a photograph of the grassy knoll they computer enhanced of the scene immediately following the assassination and, although quite grainy, it showed a man holding a rifle and it sure looked like George H.W Bush. Not definitive proof of anything but it sure falls right into place in the puzzle. If anyone who saw this documentary along with me can remember the source, I’d like to see it again.
Come on, JR, Moe Green? He was a fictional character in a novel by Mario Puzo.

The Hollywood producer angle is disturbing as well.
You can’t be some low life mafia thug and his buddy with rifles cruising around Dallas in the middle of the afternoon taking pot shots at the president of the United States unless the FBI, CIA and Secret Service are in on it too. The Texas oil baron Murkison was behind the shooting and the man who ran Austin …Mr. Clark put the plan together with the express knowledge of Lydon B Johnson, Hoover the FBI director, a select few from the CIA and Secret Service. The mafia people are a distraction from the truth. The people behind those rifles were top snipers who probably shot many deer and antelope on the Texas plains. Not some moron mafia dope from the city.
