Wim Dankbaar Posted August 15, 2008 Author Share Posted August 15, 2008 Wim,Just because I do not believe the back wound transited JFK does not mean that it could not have. That's not the point. You said the single bullet theory is possible. How is it possible if you accept that the bullet did not transit through JFK? After all, the basis for the SBT is that it transited through JFK. You just said that you don't believe that it transited through JFK. So why did you say the SBT is possible? Wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was he part giraffe? Cliff, If I have not made it clear enough, my apologies. There is nothing in the ballistics nor physics that says it is impossible. So it was "possible" that a bullet that struck JFK on a downward trajectory in the vicinity of his 3rd thoracic vertebra (consistent with the holes in the clothes, the death certificate, the autopsy face sheet diagram, the FBI autopsy report, the wound diagrams of several autopsy witnesses, the sworn statements of several autopsy witnesses, and the graphic descriptions of the wound by witnesses who were not sworn), ranged upward in his body to exit his throat, then -- in mid-air! -- changed course again and descended into Connally? Perhaps you could demonstrate this incredible event? Body position and other factors of the targets have to be considered in its probability, of course. Do the holes in the clothes and the mountain of corroborating evidence of the T3 back wound constitute "other factors"? Shouldn't these "other factors" be considered prior to your pronouncements concerning the "possibility" of the SBT? But this does not change the fact that given the density of the human tissue and the ability of the round, it was in fact possible. But given the physical evidence we can actually link to JFK, it was in fact impossible, unless you have a satisfactory answer to the problem of the SBT requiring a drastic mid-air change of trajectory. There is no evidence whatsoever that JFK was struck in the back with a FMJ round. None. The round was in fact capable of this feat. But was it capable of such an extreme change of trajectory in mid-air? Was this shot probable......of course not.Mike It was impossible given the physical evidence. I'm always struck by the willingness of folks to ignore the actual physical evidence in this case. Edited August 15, 2008 by Cliff Varnell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm always struck by the willingness of folks to ignore the actual physical evidence in this case. Of course all the things you mention hold weight, but, they do not remove the possibility, they remove probability. Bullets can often be unpredictable creatures. The only thing that would rule out possibility is to show that the physics and ballistics do not work. Again the projectile and cartridge were capable of the task. I actually saw a human hit in the shoulder with the exit wound behind the right knee......So by your logic it would be impossible and yet it was possible. Now what are the odds of that happening again? Slim to none, which of course limits its probability. I am amazed at the amount of people who cant distinguish possibility from probability... At any rate, I do not believe that the bullet penetrated to more than 2" so your preaching to the choir. I just sent you a PM in regard to this matter as well Cliff.

Duke Lane Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 ... I am amazed at the amount of people who cant distinguish possibility from probability... ... and I am amazed at how much we've carried on without waiting for a response from the person to whom this thread is directed a mere two days ago. Given the limited question that was initially proposed - or at least its general topic - is there any question why nobody pays a bit of attention to "conspiracy theorists" who cannot let just one question stand on its own without bringing up 35 others, all demanding equal time and attention? ... And since we've asked and answered each and every one of them and created new arguments - including internecine ad hominem attacks - what, exactly is anyone trying to accomplish here? "Sir, we have a question. No, four. Actually, 20. And three different opinions about each one, along with six different perspectives on each of those. Can you spare a minute to respond in minute detail to everything to my total satisfaction and that of everyone else here?" My suggestion would be that it is NOT answers to "Questions for Gary Mack."

Mike Look who's talking. You were given the opportunity to prove how Files is a load of crap, and you failed miserably. You can try to hide it by lying that you "proved" anything. Dishonesty? Con artist? No self respect? Look in the mirror! You take pleasure in "yanking my chain", right? You're too weak to even lift it. My chain is yanked daily by far more significant and non-pathetic people. For crying out loud. And now we have you claiming that the single bullit theory IS possible, too proud and stubborn to admit a blunder. You know, if I didn't know better I would think you're a disinformation asset, but since you're so meaningless, I know it's just stupidity. The only thing you deserve , is a complete ignore. Here's to yanking your chain: By Tony Stewart "Crimewriter/author" (Bloomington, IN United States) - See all my reviews Wim Dankbaar's book "I SHOT JFK" is truly a fascinating piece of history, reviving the reality of President John F. Kennedy's assassination, while disproving the Warren Commissions "so called" one gunman theory. There have been many mythological theories of what supposedly happened on that dreadful November 22, 1963, but Dankbaar has bought the facts to the table, financing the greatest investigation of all time to crack the case. Confessed killer-assassin James Files, and a member of organized crime may have been the shooter on the grassy knoll, or was he? The facts are all here! Although officially declared "not credible," by the FBI, thorough research and video taped interviews presented in Dankbaar's , unsurpassed book may have proven otherwise. What did James Files have to gain by confessing to the murder of our beloved President? He was already rotting away in prison serving time for attempted murder of an Illinois police officer. Confessing would have only added more time to his sentence. Unless his confession was indeed true, and he wanted to get it off his chest. After all, if his story was correct, he had been living with the guilt for many years. A remorse that would be unbearable for anyone with a conscience. And the world already knows that even if new facts arose the FBI wouldn't want to open old wounds after all these years, especially on the death of a President. As a Kennedy research of over 30 years, and the forthcoming author of a new book on John F. Kennedy, I say let the evidence speak for itself. I highly recommend Dankbaar's masterpiece "I SHOT JFK." In my professional opinion, this may be perhaps the finest evidence ever bought to light on the Kennedy assassination.

The author actually interviewed James Files and videotaped it, one of only 2 video interviews Files has given. Seeing the video was an eye-opener, and the clincher for me as to whether or not his story is real. In my mind, it is. But this book tells the story of not just the operatives on 11-22-1963, but the background of what and who motivated it. There are pieces of the puzzle in this book that are not found elsewhere. This may be the most complete and convincing documentation that the assassination was a conspiracy. The book points out that the cover-up continuing to this day is evidence that the government still acts in shady ways. That is why this story is still relevant. 15 of 18 people found the following review helpful: Most probable book on JFK murder I ever read, July 24, 2006 By Han Pfann "Han" (Den Helder Netherlands) - See all my reviews It took me some time to read this extensive research-journal sometimes having to get back and forth re-reading parts.

In fact I consider their efforts as heroic, as they would not be the first to die of too much knowledge. Everything in the book is well documented, in combination with the web-site www.jfkmurdersolved.com everything can be extensively self-researched. They do not claim to know it all, but just the part of the operation that they researched. I certainly hope this book and the DVD will help to make people realize that conspiracies do exist, and things often are very different from what they appear to be.

It is to bad that the high officals in the U.S. don't take the time to really show the general public the real truth of the assassination. Mr. Dankbarr has spent alot of time in bringing this truth to the world. He should be given some kind of an award for this. The DVD of James E. Files confession is also a work of art and should not be over looked. I have been trying to follow the JFK assassination and find the real truth of what really happened that day in Dallas on November 22, 1963 since the day it happened. I, back then had a strong feeling that JFK's fatal shot was from the front. Even though I was only 16 years old, I did alot of hunting and knew how a bullet would throw JFL's head back from a front head shot. Like most people I beleived what they (Warren Commission, FBI, CIA) where tekking us and wanting us to beleive until this book and DVD became available. This book has created in my mind,without a resonable doubt, that there was a conspirancy to assassinate JFK. Thank you very much Mr. Wim Dankbarr for being truthful and taking time to let the general public and the world know the truth of what happened on November 22, 1963 in Dallas Texas.

Files for years now, I had always wondered about his motivations for confessing to being one of the shooters on the grassy knoll. What kind of crazy man would do such a thing I asked myself?? When I read Wim Dankbaar's Files on JFK this past month, many of my burning questions were answered. For example, Dankbaar demonstrates who Files really is through detailed correspondence with the late Joe West and later Bob Vernon, wherein the reader learns that James Files never intended his story for the media, that the lead on James Files came from the FBI of all sources and not from Files himself (for all those skeptics who think that Files is just some sick prankster who is just seeking attention), and that Files is sorry for ever revealing his role in the assassination and that his life has only grown more difficult as a result. Apart from excellent primary sources like the correspondence, the book is jfkmurdersolved.com in book form, which anybody who has visited the site can attest, is loaded with a gigantic amount of relevant and sometimes new information on the assassination. Kudos to Wim Dankbaar for compiling such a well researched book.

Better yet, buy the dvd as well and watch the interview with James Files for yourselves. There's no way someone could make this up and act naturally like he does in front of the camera. And then there's all the evidence that substantiate his claims. LN'ers WANT to believe LHO did it, sane people add up the factual evidence.

Orsi "SVO" (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews I am convinced James Files is recalling events and not telling a story, especially after viewing the companion DVD. Either that, or he is the best xxxx I've ever heard. There is no way he could've manufactured the things he said or have even known about some of the details. After viewing both you simply have to believe Oswald was exactly what he said he was... a patsy. And just think, the so called "experts" like Vincent Bugliosi and Gerald Posner actually believe in the "Single Bullet Theory" and a "Lone Nut" assassin, despite all the evidence to the contrary and what has been uncovered in the 44 years since 11/22/63. It's amazing how those with no credentials or expertise whatsoever in criminal investigation, forensics, or pathology can be so sure of what they say while overlooking the eyewitness testimony of the numerous people who heard a shot from the Grassy Knoll, and the opinions of actual experts in forensics and pathology like Cyril Wecht. Of course The Warren Commission also dismissed eyewitness testimony as well as any evidence that didn't fit their predetermined outcome, so none of us capable of critical thinking should be surprised. What is really disturbing is the fact that the national media endorsed the books from Bugliosi and Posner while work such as this gets no coverage. Here's hoping this book and the companion DVD will acquire some major distributorship and national media attention soon! 10 of 18 people found the following review helpful: A Must-Have JFK book, June 28, 2006 By David R.

The book answered alot of questions for we seekers of the real truth. James Files came across convincingly candid with an amazing amount of substantiated facts. This knowledge should be loudly proclaimed in the mainstream of our public media and our history books should be changed, once and for all, to reflect the truth about the JFK murder. The fact that a US agency, the CIA, contracted hired assassins from the mob as well as using George Bush Sr's own CIA Operation 40 group to carry out this unthinkable dark deed is something the American people have a Constitutional right to know. To think that a majority of our presidents since that day and many of our trusted agencies have used blood and our tax dollars to cover up their coup de tat is unacceptable and shameless. They should be exposed for who they are and those who are still alive punished not pardon! I hope that this book becomes common knowledge amongst the American people and the world as well. Only then will we be able to again call ourselves a free nation and not an international party joke.

Therefore, there is no one who knows more about this important assassin than Wim. Furthermore, Wim has spent hundreds of hours on the relationship between the Files assassination of JFK and all other relevant matters. He has become very popular in the Netherlands where he appears frequently on TV and the Dutch people have tuned in because they recognize his great wealth of information.The book is highly recommended.

It is to bad that the high officals in the U.S. don't take the time to really show the general public the real truth of the assassination. Mr. Dankbarr has spent alot of time in bringing this truth to the world. He should be given some kind of an award for this. The DVD of James E. Files confession is also a work of art and should not be over looked. I have been trying to follow the JFK assassination and find the real truth of what really happened that day in Dallas on November 22, 1963 since the day it happened. I, back then had a strong feeling that JFK's fatal shot was from the front. Even though I was only 16 years old, I did alot of hunting and knew how a bullet would throw JFL's head back from a front head shot. Like most people I beleived what they (Warren Commission, FBI, CIA) where tekking us and wanting us to beleive until this book and DVD became available. This book has created in my mind,without a resonable doubt, that there was a conspirancy to assassinate JFK. Thank you very much Mr. Wim Dankbarr for being truthful and taking time to let the general public and the world know the truth of what happened on November 22, 1963 in Dallas Texas.

Files for years now, I had always wondered about his motivations for confessing to being one of the shooters on the grassy knoll. What kind of crazy man would do such a thing I asked myself?? When I read Wim Dankbaar's Files on JFK this past month, many of my burning questions were answered. For example, Dankbaar demonstrates who Files really is through detailed correspondence with the late Joe West and later Bob Vernon, wherein the reader learns that James Files never intended his story for the media, that the lead on James Files came from the FBI of all sources and not from Files himself (for all those skeptics who think that Files is just some sick prankster who is just seeking attention), and that Files is sorry for ever revealing his role in the assassination and that his life has only grown more difficult as a result. Apart from excellent primary sources like the correspondence, the book is jfkmurdersolved.com in book form, which anybody who has visited the site can attest, is loaded with a gigantic amount of relevant and sometimes new information on the assassination. Kudos to Wim Dankbaar for compiling such a well researched book.

Mertens "Rachje" (Rotterdam, Netherlands) - See all my reviews This review is from: Files on JFK (Paperback) I don't have to waste a lot of words on it; buy it and read it. Better yet, buy the dvd as well and watch the interview with James Files for yourselves. There's no way someone could make this up and act naturally like he does in front of the camera. And then there's all the evidence that substantiate his claims. LN'ers WANT to believe LHO did it, sane people add up the factual evidence. Two thumbs up for this one ! 9 of 11 people found the following review helpful: ATTN: Gerald Posner - Finally it is Case Closed!, September 15, 2007 By S. V. Orsi "SVO" (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews I am convinced James Files is recalling events and not telling a story, especially after viewing the companion DVD. Either that, or he is the best xxxx I've ever heard. There is no way he could've manufactured the things he said or have even known about some of the details. After viewing both you simply have to believe Oswald was exactly what he said he was... a patsy. And just think, the so called "experts" like Vincent Bugliosi and Gerald Posner actually believe in the "Single Bullet Theory" and a "Lone Nut" assassin, despite all the evidence to the contrary and what has been uncovered in the 44 years since 11/22/63. It's amazing how those with no credentials or expertise whatsoever in criminal investigation, forensics, or pathology can be so sure of what they say while overlooking the eyewitness testimony of the numerous people who heard a shot from the Grassy Knoll, and the opinions of actual experts in forensics and pathology like Cyril Wecht. Of course The Warren Commission also dismissed eyewitness testimony as well as any evidence that didn't fit their predetermined outcome, so none of us capable of critical thinking should be surprised. What is really disturbing is the fact that the national media endorsed the books from Bugliosi and Posner while work such as this gets no coverage. Here's hoping this book and the companion DVD will acquire some major distributorship and national media attention soon! 10 of 18 people found the following review helpful: A Must-Have JFK book, June 28, 2006 By David R. Wayne - See all my reviews This review is from: Files on JFK (Paperback) This is one of the most under-rated books out there and a must-have for serious students of the JFK assassination and I've read most of them. Just the interviews with Tosh Plumlee and Chauncey Holt are well-worth the price of the book; they are very well-researched and provide extremely valuable information from well-documented sources. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful: FILES ON JFK, August 7, 2008 By RON L. MILLER "RON MILLER, TENNESSEE DIVER" (ATHENS, TENNESSEE) - See all my reviews AS A FORMER HOMICIDE DETECTIVE AND IN CHARGE OF A HOMICIDE DISTRICT TEAM IN MY STATE , I HAD MANY QUESTIONS ON THE JFK ASSASSINATION. READING THE BOOK ON FILES ANSWERED 99% OF MY QUESTIONS. ANY ONE WHO WANTS TO KNOW ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED IN DALLAS NEEDS OT READ THIS BOOK, IT IS A BOMB SHELL FOR SURE.

The book answered alot of questions for we seekers of the real truth. James Files came across convincingly candid with an amazing amount of substantiated facts. This knowledge should be loudly proclaimed in the mainstream of our public media and our history books should be changed, once and for all, to reflect the truth about the JFK murder. The fact that a US agency, the CIA, contracted hired assassins from the mob as well as using George Bush Sr's own CIA Operation 40 group to carry out this unthinkable dark deed is something the American people have a Constitutional right to know. To think that a majority of our presidents since that day and many of our trusted agencies have used blood and our tax dollars to cover up their coup de tat is unacceptable and shameless. They should be exposed for who they are and those who are still alive punished not pardon! I hope that this book becomes common knowledge amongst the American people and the world as well. Only then will we be able to again call ourselves a free nation and not an international party joke. Signed a Patriot of the United States that used to be. 5 of 6 people found the following review helpful: author Dr. Hughes on Wim's Files, June 18, 2007 By John R. Hughes "neurologist" - See all my reviews This review is from: Files on JFK (Paperback) Wim Dankbaar has devoted his entire professional life to exploring Files and his role in the JFK assassination ever since he sold his computer company. Therefore, there is no one who knows more about this important assassin than Wim. Furthermore, Wim has spent hundreds of hours on the relationship between the Files assassination of JFK and all other relevant matters. He has become very popular in the Netherlands where he appears frequently on TV and the Dutch people have tuned in because they recognize his great wealth of information.The book is highly recommended. Wim, Thats just what I expected. If you cant dazzle them with brilliance, baffle em with BS. Your in denial Wim, I would be to if I bought that load of worthless bunk! Then please by all means give me a complete ignore, that is also typical of how you deal with issues you can not answer. Does not mean Ill go away Wim, it just means I will keep pressing you to prove your evidence. Which we both know you cant. Were not on your forum now, where dissension is met with removal. You need to stand up and play like a big boy. My single bullet theory???? Can you show me just one place I said it DID happen? Show just one place I stated that Wim. Of course you wont, and cant, another representative statement. Guess what Wim the Files hoax is about to come unraveled. I think those who aren't laughing at you already will be soon.

Duke Lane Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Duncan, Being mostly Irish myself (tho' I've got a fifth of Scotch in me!), I knew that. I only supposed you were Scottish because you don't know how to spell your last name correctly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
