JFK assassination - "the shot that was never heard" : James Files
from Discussions of Truth · host Ian Trottier
If you've not heard of James Files, you should have. Files claims he shot JFK from the grassy knoll in Dallas that day. Jerry Kroth, Ph.D. is an Associate Professor Emeritus in the graduate counseling psychology program at Santa Clara University in California. His academic assignments have included courses in psychotherapy and personality theory, dreamwork, and research methods. Kroth's most recent books are Duped! Delusion, denial, and the end of the American dream (2012) Psyche's Exile: an empirical odyssey in search of the soul (2011) and Conspiracy in Camelot: the complete history of the assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy (2003). Jerry has an abiding therapeutic interest in working with dreams, personal oracles, and the applications of dream theory to psychohistory and collective psychology. Jerry has been a member of the International Psychohistorical Association since 1983. On the 40th anniversary of one of the most important events in American history comes Conspiracy in Camelot: the complete history of the assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy, a dazzling, information-packed volume from New York's Algora Publishers. Conspiracy in Camelot is a thoroughgoing analysis of the most relevant evidence uncovered and released by the government over the last 40 years, and a presentation of the most plausible conspiracy theories. From the cover up to Mafia murders, fingerprints to dictabelt recordings, a mountain of evidence is integrated into a comprehensive perspective on the assassination. Out of a field of 9 confessed assassins in the literature, Professor Kroth conducts five interviews with the leading grassy knoll suspect, James Files. Marilyn Monroes sexual liaisons with the Kennedy brothers, JFKs 33 mistresses in the White House, and J. Edgar Hoovers homosexuality and paranoia underscore the shadowy psychological underbelly of one of historys greatest detective stories. Reaching beyond the criminal dimension, the text also looks at the deep and mysterious symbolism of this mythic tale, from the incredible array of synchronicities between Kennedy and Abraham Lincoln to the uncanny symbolic linkage the story has to King Arthur and Camelot. - Amazon.com
