James Shelby Downard (March 13, 1913 – March 16, 1998)[1] was an American conspiracy theorist. His works focus on analyzing perceived occult symbolism, twilight language, and synchronicity in relation to historical events of the 20th century. Downard gained recognition for his contribution to Masonic conspiracy theories; specifically his belief that the Freemasons orchestrated the assassination of President John F. Kennedy through a ritual referred to as “Killing of the King”.[2][3]

NOTE: Inclusion does not equal endorsement… Downard and his apparent co-authors Michael A. Hoffman, William M. Grimstad (aka Jim Brandon), etc., all have histories of holocaust denial and anti-semitism.
