Knowing what we know now, if the FBI says he's not credible then he's probably the most credible person we will ever hear.

I was in Dealey Plaza approximately 2 years ago. The distance from the wall at the grassy knoll is ridiculously close, less than 50 yards. I was amazed that the news accounts of the assassination made it sound like an impossible shot, far from it. The shot from the 6th floor or the surrounding areas were not unusual. The fact that the motorcade drove at a low speed through this turn is one of the most glaring examples that this was arranged by the highest level of our own government, JFK wanted to get out of Vietnam, war is profitable. RIP JFK.

This was an interview I will never forget.. I have been obsessed with this case for over 30 years and this truly connects the dots. How i have never seen this before is beyond me. Thanks Heaps...

[Dave.S.TT]

Thanks for posting; it's great to see this again VERY convincing

Someone said once: if you want to hide something from somebody just place it right in front their eyes! The facts are so simple and obvious that it’s unbelievable. I believe this guy.

[reivax]

For me, this man is totally credible.

[johnnybee]

He's not stumbling over the answers or hesitating before he answers them, he answers quickly and precisely. And he doesn't look nervous at all. he seems quite sure of himself and confident like someone who knows what he is talking about. seems credible to me.

[babaotache]

This is a fantastic history! This guy is too detailed, too factual not to be believed! He has a wonderful memory! Great interview.

[bemorebulldog]

The closing bit is significant. On March 29, 1979, the House Committee concluded that President Kennedy’s death “was probably the result of a conspiracy."

[reasonwarrior]

There is a later interview he did with even more detail and matches this exactly. I don't think he's lying.

[jamesdonnelly]

Most believable interview I’ve ever seen. Never looked away. Liars will always look away or down. He never does once. It went down exactly as he says.

[moniquemonicat]

Files is credible. Files got Roselli and Nicoletti right. For Files to put those two together is too much a coinkydink unless Files truly was there. No way would a non-italian, non-mafia outsider even have known who Roselli and Nicoletti were, as Roselli was the outfit's Hollywood West Coast guy and didn't hang out in Chicago. Sam Giancana himself told his nephew Chuck Giancana that Roselli and Nicoletti were the shooters; however, Sam didn't go into details of all the other shooters (book "Double Cross" by Chuck Giancana). Files told his story BEFORE Giancana's book was published. Yep, Files is CREDIBLE.

I'm no expert but I checked an eye accessing cues chart and I think he's telling the absolute truth. His story has extreme detail and according to the chart he's pulling all of it from memory.

[Datanditto]

Dulles was the real culprit in the bay of pigs. He was told ‘No’ to the plan but proceeded anyway. It was all his fault.

[billyborn]

He's doing everything possible to stare into the interviewer's eyes he's telling 100% truth

[DSK-vr]

I’m 100% convinced this gentleman is telling the truth as he knows it. He speaks of minor details describing the event and atmosphere that are not important to his testimony. Everyone is entitled to believe what you want, this is legitimate IMO.

[travispolson]

I'm so glad people keep reposting this .

[lincolnturner]

Years ago when I was been trained as body guard for our Jamaican Prime Minister by Cubans operatives, I was told that President John F. Kennedy was shot from the grassy knoll and not by Lee Harvey Oswald, so I believe this account😢

[charliefreemansingsandspeaks]

1:16 - "Files was nearing a full confession when West became and ill and passed away in 1993." Five bucks says the CIA slowly and clandestinely poisoned him.

[edwilliams]

An astonishing piece of history! Well done for getting this out
