He had the training and the means to make his place in history. Opportunity gave him a goal with a defined outcome and he set about to accomplish it.

The Mafia killed John F Kennedy (JFK) because Bobby Kennedy the US Attorney General

was "turning up the heat" on the Mafia.

Even after all the work the Mafia had done in Chicago to get JFK elected president in 1960.

Mafia hit man James Files has recently admitted to firing the fatal bullet,

that blew JFK's brains out towards the rear,

from the infamous grassy knoll in Daily Plaza. Which was in front of JFK at the time of the shooting.

Skilled morticians worked on JFK head to cover up and support the lone crazy gun man theory.

But Lee Harvey Oswald did not kill JFK or Dallas Police Officer J. D. Tippit,

he was the government's patsy.

James Files worked together with another Mafia hit man to "take the trash out" as he put it.

Was president John F. Kennedy assassinated?

John F. Kennedy was tragically shot when driving through Dallas in a motorcade at 12:30pm on November 22nd 1963. Three sniper shots hit the president in about 7.2 seconds, the last one hitting him in the head. Although many witnesses thought the shots had come over from behind a grassy bank, a bystander called Howard Brenan reported to the police that he had seen a man fire a gun from the window of a warehouse on the corner of the plaza. He gave a description of the assassin, and later the police apprehended Lee Harvey Oswald who matched the description. Oswald was an employee at the warehouse who had left the building minutes after the assassination was first arrested that day for shooting a police officer, before it was suspected that he had murdered the president as well. The assassin was shot two days later by Jack Ruby to avenge Kennedy's death, but conspiracy theories abound over what happened.

What punishment did Jack Ruby receive?

In March of 1964 Jack Ruby was convicted of murder with malice and sentenced to death. However, his conviction and sentence were overturned in October of 1966 because an appellate court agreed with his lawyers that his change of venue request before his original trial, in which they argued that he could not receive a fair trial in Dallas due to the publicity of the case, should have been granted. A retrial was scheduled for February of 1967. But Ruby, who believed that powerful people he claimed had framed him to kill Oswald were out to kill him and that he had been injected with cancer cells, was diagnosed with cancer of the liver, lungs and brain in December of 1966. He died three weeks later.

Who was the man accused of killing JFK?

Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested for the shooting of John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963. Some people dispute the belief that Lee Harvey Oswald was the shooter.

The arguement against Lee Harvey Oswald as the shooter states that Kennedy's head moved back, giving the impression that one of the shots came from the front, not the rear. Some think there were multiple shooters as well. It is estimated there were up to four shooters with 2 to 3 of them hitting President Kennedy. Since JFK was only hit by two different bullets, it is hard to understand how three of them managed to hit him.

Some say Oswald was set up to take the fall and be silenced; that Jack Ruby was allowed to shoot Oswald dead to quell any more information about the wider conspiracy. There were several witnesses who claimed to have heard shots from behind the wall and the grassy knoll among other vantage points.

The arguement for Lee Harvey Oswald being the shooter states that JFK's head exploded forward and to the right, causing a twisting motion back and to the left as that was the only way it could go, according to Newton's Laws of Motion.

Oswald murdered a police officer, and tried to shoot the arresting officers, an odd thing for an innocent man to do. There were people who later claimed they heard shots coming from other places. But the vast bulk of witnesses heard the shots from Oswald's direction. The other witnesses may have heard an echo instead of noticing the actual shots... or they may have enjoyed the attention, and perhaps money, they got for saying what some people wanted to hear. Oswald held up his own transfer, or would have been gone long before Jack Ruby showed up. He wanted to be famous and historical, and nothing else he had tried, including another attempt to assassinate a public figure, had worked.
