Jim's research has been devoted to separating authentic evidence from fabricated and JFK truth from JFK fiction.

PRESENTATION
Seeking Consensus on JFK's Assassination

DESCRIPTION
David Mantik's JFK WAS KILLED BY CONSENSUS (2025) invites the JFK research community to reach agreement on the basic elements of the assassination, including the key players (including the hits on the target, the shooters and their supervisors, and the motives that drove the event). Blending research by Mantik (on the shots that hit JFK), revisions to the home movies (John Costella and Douglas Horne), Oswald in the doorway and the Mexico City deception (Ralph Cinque and Rivera),  who was responsible and why (Phil Nelson, Madeleine Brown, Billy Sol Estes et al.) I provide a framework to form that consensus.
