Episode 140 - The End of Innocence - "Files of JFK" Part Two

In this series, we’ve already listened to James Files’ original 1993 interview. I think it’s important that we now listen to the interview he gave in 2003 so we can compare the two accounts side by side. Doing so may help us decide whether his story feels legitimate—or whether it’s simply a compelling tale told by a very skilled storyteller. The 2003 interview was conducted by my good friend and fellow researcher, the late Jim Marrs and Wim Dankbaar . It was conducted on November 19, 2003 , whil...

Episode 127 - The End of Innocence - If Oswald didn't kill JFK .... then who did?

To even ask who killed John F. Kennedy—if not Lee Harvey Oswald—is to entertain the possibility of conspiracy. But after decades of studying the evidence, interviewing hundreds of witnesses, I can't ignore what we've uncovered. This episode is a brief overview of why I believe Lee Harvey Oswald was not the assassin of President John F. Kennedy. And in future episodes, we ask the question ..... If Oswald didn't kill Kennedy ..... then who did?

Episode 126 - The End of Innocence - Final Conclusions on the Backyard Photos

Few photographs have been as scrutinized or as controversial as the image of Lee Harvey Oswald standing in his backyard, holding a rifle and Marxist newspapers. This image became damning evidence against Oswald as it depicted him with the same type of rifle used to assassinate President John F. Kennedy. From the moment the photo surfaced, conspiracy theories abounded. Critics claimed it was a forgery, pointing to supposed inconsistencies in lighting and shadows, Oswald’s facial features, the pro...

Episode 123 - What JFK’s Assassination Teaches Us About the Death of Charlie Kirk

The assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963 shattered more than a life—it splintered the soul of a nation. Nearly sixty-two years later, the sudden death of Charlie Kirk echoes that rupture. Though not a head of state, Kirk’s influence as a Christian evangelist, youth advocate, and cultural connector gave his loss a resonance far beyond the individual. His passing feels like a wound to the collective conscience—a rupture in the fabric of truth that threatens to widen the fault lines a...

On November 22, 1963, two men died in Dallas. One was the President of the United States. The other was a police officer named J.D. Tippit. While the world focused on JFK, the murder of Tippit quietly became the linchpin in the case against Lee Harvey Oswald. But was it really that simple? Over the past 7 episodes we have peeled back the layers of testimony, timelines, and strange coincidences to ask the question: Did Oswald kill Officer Tippit—or was something else going on?"

Episode 119 - The End of Innocence - Did Lee Harvey Oswald kill J.D. Tippit - Part Five

The murder of Dallas police officer J.D. Tippit is often cited as proof of Lee Harvey Oswald’s guilt in the JFK assassination. But a closer look at the timeline raises serious doubts. The timeline is not a trivial detail—it’s central to Oswald’s guilt or innocence. If Tippit was shot at 1:06, Oswald couldn’t have done it. To believe he did, you must dismiss multiple eyewitnesses and rely on a timeline that’s not plausible.
