Introduction and PrologueThanks for your comments Jerry Organ and pointing out name of camera man John Iacoletti and comments as well. Who is the other guy dressed the same? Thanks for sharing the Nova link. I have found a lot of interesting things in that documentary that I will be looking at. Particularly a scene with an empty grassy knoll at 26:35! Jerry, I do like the frames you have recreated on your site. I still find I use the Costella ones - no offense. I find the dark to light contrast a little handier for illustration - not so washed up in the Costella frames (darker contrast) and helps to enhance the detail. You did a great job. For example, If I look at the white marker present in the grass, it shows up better in a dark green format than when the background is lighter, making its presence more evident and easier for all to see. Thanks again, for letting me share my pet theories! Some of the lines present in the lightbox make them look like splices (example 318/319).
Muchmore Film AnalysisI can see what you are saying with a light pattern across the "lady in red", However, this film has been so cut, edited. and obscured that it is beyond believable, very cut off at the end - reveals nothing new. The only thing credible in that film is that it looks like there are 20 mph winds blowing. The dresses and trench coat are blowing heavily towards the east! There is much more poor panning (blurring) and camera shake whenever there was something notable to see. That maybe is the result of the wind load on Muchmore. The rest of the film was cut off and not returned to the individual! Those would be the interesting ones - the ones just outside the front of car. No money given for that footage - unlike Zapruder's!
Muchmore Film comparing to ZapruderYou have to correlate a blurred and obscured film with z-322 and z-329. It was also filmed with 8 mm camera so frames 45/46 and 52/53 would be close to matches at 18 fps and the half second interval between the 2 last fatal shots in my opinion. I don't have access to films other than what has bee made available on" Youtube". The one I wanted to examine (AP) was protected and I was not able to download for "dissection". Most cut off the end, some even sooner than others so you get less and less frames to look at. There are clearly only a few seconds of useful film. The completion of 52/53 (z-329) coincides with the man on the steps lifting his leg and starting to run off up the grassy knoll. Some film cuts it off even before he has his foot fully lifted!! That seems to be all we were allowed to see from that film, the rest of the recording has been mysteriously cut off - deemed insignificant or lost in developing! Obviously cutting off the end of film is something you would find necessary if there is evidence against the lone gunman theory! Here is the one I looked at to use in analysis:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMdreKlLhJYThese show heavy masking across windshield region of the car and show the same light aberration present at the exact same instant viewing from the other side of the road in the Zapruder's filming - very coincidental and helps one put the timeline on the frame and show how they both needed alteration some light aberration theory to justify. No matter which way you look at, you were not supposed to see what unfolded on those frames. Pan error, shake blur, paint to alter evidence. Frame 45/46 and frame 52/53 are washed out and blurred on the windshield due to heavy "light aberration". They did back this up with a very clear framed light aberration present as they cut the "lady in red" in two much early as well to justify the loss of clarity. Nice film in that region - so you can expect and justify more light aberration to naturally occur later in the sequence! That sequence where nothing happens has the least amount of panning and camera shake and exemplifies later justification. when footage is poorly panned, shaky and blurred! It might also be due to someone later zooming and losing visual resolution. During the critical event, everything is obscured and pixelated into nonsense! At any rate, this film was cut off before giving anything meaningful and reveals nothing of the assassination scene really.
A Stuart Reed Evidence Provider - Parallel CaseCompare this gathering of evidence to that provided by Stuart J. Reed who did not provide any testimony other than providing some very handy photos for the Warren Commission (WC). He had the "premonition" of not only being present when they apprehended Lee Harvey Oswald (LHO ) at the theater, but he also earlier that day took pictures of the 6th floor TSBD building showing open window and a bus on the road which they were hoping to kill LHO in. His uncanny ability to be present in all these situation and take all the right photos to enter in as evidence to the WC documents is spooky. In my opinion - a cameraman for the plot! You can't win the lottery and get struck by lightning 3 times before you would accomplish what he did! Leaves a paper with the FBI releasing his still footage film for them and then disappears from the investigation scene! Never interviewed and questioned about his premonitions and how he had that uncanny ability to be at just the right place at the right time to record his many useful shots for the WC to use.
Malcom Summers (The Rolling Assassin?!)Similarly, these films or slides have been tailor made to focus direction away from the truth. Some would lead you to believe that Malcom Summers was the "assassin" at the front of the car that was running and rolling in behind the "steady" cameraman James Altgens in the Zapruder Film!! Really the only eyewitness in the area reacting in this manner! You are to believe it was him and not to question who this man really was other than just "another bystander" trying to get a glimpse of the President. Certainly not part of the plot!
Obviously in Summer's testimony in 2002 given to the History Channel - he was not on this "island" at all! You see the two islands referred to are:
1) Island between Main and Houston
2) Island between Main and Elm.
They make up the heart shaped structure and are split in two and surrounded by roads all the way around. Quite simple when he says he crossed the 2 islands from where he worked at the post office. He gives an honest recount including the facts that he watched TV, read a lot of newspapers and so his testimony did have some "exterior" affects and influence without a doubt. Like Jean Hill's original testimony - it is greatly ignored! They can't alter his testimony of 2002 as he was point blank asked about where he was positioned. He arrived five minutes before the assassination and crossed the TWO islands to end up on the grassy knoll. (Obviously John you are agreeing with me as you stated the same thing! Watch the whole interview, including the motorcycle cop throwing his bike down and looking up the grassy knoll! He was on the elevated slope of the edge of the grassy knoll, not the other side. His interview conducted was an hour or more long in 2002 and worth watching.) Here is another reason I believe he was honest with his interview in 2002. He was a Protestant (Baptist) at least at burial! JFK was a known Catholic. In his interview, he mentions how everyone around him in Dallas hated JFK. This doesn't dissuade him from supporting the facts and telling the truth as he saw it - even though he may not have agreed or liked JFK. That tells me something of his character and not one to change the story so drastically from the 1988 rendition!
In order to discredit this statement, a look alike actor (my conjecture) was hired to run across the street saying it was actually him - this was posted on Youtube in 2014 on its own. I had also noticed that the imposter's 41 second clip is always at the top of the list on a Google search. You can't miss it! I wonder how that ordering is set up that it always come up first? John Iacolleti pointed out that this clip comes from a Nova Film of 1988. Thanks for that. I still maintain that his the original man's neck is shorter, his adam's apple is way bigger and the birthmarks on the LHS of the picture are missing on the actor. They only gave a very brief glimpse of this man in that clip and not great frames to compare.. I don't see these 2 people as being the same - the testimonies don't match. Sorry. I studied both clips - not the same people in my opinion nor saying the same thing as they contradict.
Start looking at Z-344 where you see the assassin's shadow, he is on the move. All other character shadows have no motion. His shadow is already showing an outstretched arm. His feet are outstretched a good 4 ft at Z-347. Certainly moved from somewhere and goes into a 2 hand brace impact stance to brace the fall and then rolls over to complete the move. Puts his hand on his knee Z-359 while sitting there, all the time eyes never leave the scene! He has to catch his breath and leave with the car that pulls over to the side to whisk him out of there before the crowd arrives!
Jean Hill's Same Day Testimony November 22, 1963As well, certainly the intial testimony given by Jean Hill to a reporter before allegedly talking to the FBI was the only testimony from her that becomes believable in my opinion. Any of her later recounts have to be discounted as false - especially when she has to be "re-positioned" on the island to match the film and alters her original story from the first days recount. This was not something she knew about at her first interview - "before she ever talked to the FBI". The reporter clearly mentioned this fact in that first interview. Remember she never got to see the Zapruder film during that first interview hours after the event and so is the most "untainted" recount from her. She stressed two shots fired and JFK being hit in the neck and that she was very close to this event. This testimony does not coincide with her later re-portrayal as standing only 20 feet away (by the trunk) when a z-313 head shot sent a blood and brain matter plume 6 feet in the air! Think about it, you were 175 feet from the neck shot and 20 feet from a gory mess - I would guess the second event becomes more instilled and the one you maybe stress. However, she seem to give more "air time" to the neck shot! Interesting to note that the "lady in red" does not pan the Presidential procession as it passes by in the Zapruder film. She is not "panning" the limousine. She seems to be gazing into the following processional car with the secret service agents. At the time of that first interview, she said she was standing on the President's side of the road near where the neck shot occurred. Is it possible she had not been told yet the exact place where Mary Moorman and her were to be positioned at the scene before they became "famous" eye witnesses and fit the storyline? Were they actors? You can't find synergy in her initial testimony and with this island position everyone later positioned them at! Her story changed so much - I prefer to go with original story in my investigation and assume her first interview as most truthful and accurate. If there is a conspiracy, then her future interviews may have had outside influence. I don't believe Jean Hill was there based on her original interview.
Mary Moorman PolaroidExamine the frames with the "dark blue trench coated lady wearing white pants standing by the "lady with the bright red dress" on the Zapruder film, Mary Moorman is not even looking into the polaroid viewfinder but is making eye contact with driver Greer. Ideally her position is very poor for any camera shot - normal people would want to capture a picture from his side as it makes a nicer picture and from an elevated position. Anyway, her camera is pointing away and behind the scene but her face/eyes appear to make face contact with driver Greer. Her camera doesn't "pan" with the moving scene but remains fixated at a point well back of the traveling limousine. I wonder why not? She comes up with a lousy polaroid shot!
AP James Altgens and FBI Agent (AP?)There are 2 almost identically dressed well-suited motionless cameramen or 1 cameraman and FBI Agent? next to her as well. They don't move or flinch and are in perfect position to see it all and report with photographs. No idea what the story is behind the mystery man was
James Altgens is so busy getting a photograph that he misses the assassin rolling in behind him! His WC testimony was recorded July 22, 1964, 8 months after the event!
http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/russ/testimony/altgens.htmMr. ALTGENS - I made one picture at the time I heard a noise that sounded like a firecracker--I did not know it was a shot, but evidently my picture, as I recall, and it was almost simultaneously with the shot--the shot was just a fraction ahead of my picture, but that much---of course at that time I figured it was nothing more than a firecracker, because from my position down here the sound was not of such volume that it would indicate to me it was a high-velocity rifle.The Altgen6 phototograph was recorded at Z-253. "Almost simultaneously" means 1.6 seconds when you see the neck shot come in at about Z-224 (18fps). "Fraction ahead"??
Testimony Statement #1 (2nd shot statement)Mr. ALTGENS - Yes. What made me almost certain that the shot came from behind was because at the time I was looking at the President, just as he was struck, it caused him to move a bit forward. He seemed as if at the time----well, he was in a position-- sort of immobile. He wasn't upright. He was at an angle but when it hit him, it seemed to have just lodged--it seemed as if he were hung up on a seat button or something like that. It knocked him just enough forward that he came right on down. There was flesh particles that flew out of the side of his head in my direction from where I was standing, so much so that it indicated to me that the shot came out of the left side of his head. Also, the fact that his head was covered with blood, the hairline included, on the left side all the way down, with no blood on his forehead or face--- suggested to me, too, that the shot came from the opposite side, meaning in the direction of this Depository Building, but at no time did I know for certain where the shot came from.Mr. LIEBELER - Because you didn't see who fired it?
Testimony Statement #2 (next line for him) (additional 2nd shot reply)Mr. ALTGENS - Because I didn't see who fired it. After the Presidential car moved a little past me, I took another picture--now, just let me back up here--I was prepared to make a picture at the very instant the President was shot. I had refocused to 15 feet because I wanted a good closeup of the President and Mrs. Kennedy, and that's why I know that it would be right at 15 feet, because I had prefocused in that area, and I had my camera almost to my eye when it happened and that's as far as I got with my camera.Was Mr. Altgens testimony altered in the transcript? It looks like he had examined Z-313/314 but didn't see anything more. He missed stating the rest in his statement - The head moves up, arm goes up and then goes back down. He kind of glossed over that! It would have been an amazing to remember those little detail 8 months later and forget rest! That was a small head down move at Z-313 which was used as evidence of bullet impact from behind. Without no further head movement going back down would draw an important conclusion. Making the observation that the head moved back a foot before dropping down would not be something the lone gunman supporters would like to see or hear!!
He said he had preset his camera to 15 ft. Adjusted the focus ring to 15 ft.
He now says that is exactly when the President was actually shot. Focus ring pre-adjusted.
He didn't make the film shot though! This position would have made him at Z-339, 10 frames past Z-329 (6ft at 5 mph) or 21 ft, and 26 frames past Z-313 (15 ft at 5 mph) or roughly 30 ft! I would have to assume he had pre-seen some of the frames before his testimony (Z-313/314) or had been told about forward head movement and to stress that! It was critical and was why those frames were selected for shot placement!
Three possibilities with what Altgen has admitted to: 1) He is a professional and taking photos is an important part of his livelihood. Remember, he never flinched during the assassin. He had it preset to take it at 15 ft (the closest shot), but forgot in the excitement to push the button. As an Associated Press (AP) paid player he could have gained thousands from his photo. It would be like Zapruder turning his camera off. He didn't flinch or duck - but forgot!
2) He pushed the button but that picture was destroyed for obvious reasons. He took a picture that needs to be cut.
3) The film was developed but it was the last frame and so was misdeveloped; or maybe lost!
No professional photos!!! Instead, you are to accept a lousy polaroid shot, 40 feet further down. Who was the other guy besides Altgens? It was understandable that Altgens misses seeing the assassin as he was focused on getting that perfect shot at 15 feet and was concentrating hard. Was he part of the team? He did leave a bag open which might be useful if you were! What about the other guy?
Back to Zapruder Film and Summary of Island "Workers"Of course, the Zapruder film is the one that captures the assassin's pathway the best. His shots line up very nicely when the car comes close to a stop with the white marker in the grass! Driver Greer knows what he has to do. He read the signal from "red lady" and "blue trenchcoat" and knows where he is at in this scene. Rather than speeding up and making a getaway, he slows down and prepares the scene for attack! The light aberration you see in z-322 and z-329, coincide nicely with his "flinch" and duck towards windshield - likely sun glare though - most would say or he put on the brakes! Honestly, if you have glass flying around, you have to prepare yourself and that is the best way. This is what you can see in those frames.
"Flinch is like someone motioning their hand at your eyes, and force you to blink! It is instinctive and compulsive and they didn't edit that out of those frames. Clearly you see his face go forward to protect from glass splinters and shards! Are there any other films which will show the assassin and where he was standing before the event? No! He came off the step area and quickly completed his task. You will never see him crossing at the front - only ever see him lying on his butt! You might see him rolling in other films but never his original position. There may have been footage in the Muchmore film but it was understandably cutoff. It was ended before revealing this move.
The Lady at the back of the scene z-305 to z-324The girl at the back and in front of the blue trench coat, was running towards the limo. She kept on running until z-324. At this point, it appears something happened. If you look in the cogs at z-323 and z-324, her dress balloons out. Either it was a wind gust or she is preparing to drop! She has no reaction at z-313/314 but may have had one after hearing the shot from z-322.
The ConvoyIt is also very convenient, some footage posted from the follow up cars, stop, open doors and pick up individuals running towards them. Are they fleeing the scene before the crowds arrive? Pick up assassin, evidence and weapons before leaving the scene in a mop up operation before the crowds arrive? As I pointed out before, the people present in most of these frames were either authorities or newsmen. They show scenes of chaos and people running towards the vehicles, not chasing up the hill after a suspected sniper. Why leave the scene in those cars? Was following a dead President more important than trying to get a story on the assassin? There were people fleeing the scene via the motorcade! The grassy knoll was not advertised as a place for crowds to go watch the parade - very fishy!
It was relatively empty and at the end of the route. Putting an assassin in front of the car and the crowds well behind the entourage on the other end, made it easy for someone to not be seen. Again, you will never see footage of the front of car, nor will you see original photos of the crime scene - the car. Windshields can be removed and replaced, stage a few people around the car and take some camera shots to keep the misinformation going. Control the evidence revealed. Hollywood at its finest would create a set, take some pictures, find bullets on stretchers, whatever it takes! Again, anyone present on the island is missing out as the best spot for spectating this event. The grassy knoll offers elevation and was on the same sides as the President. Zapruder chose the best spot. Why didn't other filmers and spectators lined up on the island side of the car?
As I said, Hawkeye Productions/ Kodak processing film labs spent a lot of time on this film and they were the same experts that dissect U-2 spy plane footage and every other top secret spy document for the government intelligence agencies - not mere amateurs at what they did! They were the best of the best in the day! They had about 12 years though to get it right!
The Secret Service - The corps of the eliteThis is where they fail miserably to provide answers in the story line which everyone should be questioning. Are not secret service agents by their very design, there to protect the President? They have been trained to take evasive action and safely remove or protect dignitaries and keep them out of harm's way should an unforeseen event occur. They are such a dedicated group that it means using your own body as a shield and sacrifice for those who have called upon you to serve and protect. Again, the secret service were all over LBJ during this scene - so they said! Clamored on top of him and smothered to the floor he was! What made the President any different? LBJ was only the VP at the time! No bodyguard reaction for the President, 6 seconds after the first shot - no reaction to gunfire - no speeding up, . Instead, after the first shot was heard and they see the President grab his neck, they continue slowly or slow down the car to halt - rather than fleeing? That doesn't make sense! They were trained to be evasive - we could only hope! Are these not professional body guards who will lay down their lives for those they are hired to protect? Isn't it what they were hired to do?
The President was one of the most important people in the entire world at the time. The Secret Service would have been trained to deal with these situations in a professional manner. In there training, I have no doubt that they would be given multiple scenarios such as this one. What to do in the event of an ambush! They would carry out due diligence to protect their President - even if it means getting in the way of gunfire. They also would have a getaway plan to guard the safety and security of a nation and VIPs! You would expect they would be drilled in this and take frequent refresher courses. This is not a bozo job!
As a parallel, a commercial airplane pilot is given training to land airplanes with one engine and no engine. They are given all sorts of "what if" scenarios if instruments fail and so on. These secret service agents would have been rigorously grilled as well to serve and protect and know what to do in this very situation. They did not react in this situation! Well, maybe for the Vice President they did!
JFK Films and FootageOne recurring theme with all of these films is that they NEVER show the front of the limousine at the assassination scene. Why is that? Every time this occurs, it is cut off , snipped and removed. Obviously, you eyes are not supposed to see what happened at the very front of the car. They never show the lead car in front of the limousine either. They downplay the waiting "lead car" in the overpass as the assassination scene unfolded? That car was way ahead of the procession -creeping along and waiting for the event to complete. The Presidential limousine passed the lead car on the way to the hospital. This was discussed at the WC as well, they stated the lead car was always kept close, maybe within 40 feet at all times!
Obviously, many years have passed between the event and when the Zapruder film was released - about 12 years. I understand there was a need to release to the WC z-313 and z-314 within days to help solidify the circumstantial evidence and prove that the lone gunman theory would stand. Again, evidence painted in to provide needed collaboration! Why not release the entire film in 3 or 5 days after the event if you have nothing to hide? Not a chance - Hawkeye Productions out of Rochester had a lot of work to do before that could take place. 2 copies we are told were given to the Secret Service, 1 sold to Time Life for $150,000 and the original kept by Zapruder. Where are all 4 copies? Obviously like the President's brain - they are missing or maybe stolen by his brother for dignity!
The Limousine - The Car SceneOne recurring theme with all of these films is that they NEVER show the front of the limousine at the assassination scene as it happened. If it exists, it never has been seen. The car as well should have been impounded and thoroughly examined. Photographs all around. It was whisked off to Washington instead by airplane. If the assassination was an "inside" job, who would you trust to do this evaluation to get an unbiased view?
It is also interesting to note the partially rolled up window next to Nelly. Was it rolled down by the time of the picture you have posted. When was this picture introduced as evidence? Or was it introduced? That picture certainly looks like a nice shot to disprove a windshield shot theory as you can see the ladies dress clearly through it. Nice evidence to prove no hole in windshield. Was it a random shot like Stuart Reed's or one necessary aid lone gunman evidence? Nice shiny car with light aberration as well - over exposure? A lot of testimony says there was a bullet hole in the windshield.
http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/topic/20054-tampering-with-the-limo-in-the-jfk-altgens6/Just another piece of conveniently placed evidence to disprove a hole in the windshield theory. They should have taken a picture of the magical bullet as it rolled off the stretcher as well - well maybe they did!
The light aberration is tricky. When you see light aberration, blurring, shaky camera and panning problems combined in important frames, is it merely by coincidence or part of a masking operation! What you will find is that every time there is something to see, it will be spliced, cut, blurred, painted or just plain missing! When you look at the Costella frames , you can see various edits where film edges don't quite seam together. Which film did he use and which film did Jerry Organ scan/take pictures from? Two different films or the same? Certainly if you want to speed up a film, you could cut out every other frame and it will appear faster. There is one huge event at z-331 and z-332. The head virtually disappears from view on the frames following those - obviously more than just light aberration when you consider how it was left after affect of z-314. Certainly you can't miss that something took place there! For a while they leave a light enhanced "gold nugget" where his head was!! If nothing more happened, you might as well cut the film off right there and remove the assassination tumbling into the scene. That was a mistake! If they were smart, they would have removed the rest of frames and made them disappear like other footage did.
Removal of FramesThe car literally jumps up in the frame z-331/z-332. Maybe the shot at z-329 startled Zapruder and he shook the camera. The gunshot noise may have caused this frame jump! You certainly didn't see such a reaction by Zapruder at z-313/14 - everything remained nice and clear and in focus - other than paint added after developing! I reiterate nothing happened at z-313/314. The President still slumped over at that point and Jacqueline continuing to eye his neck wound. No camera reaction at z-313/314 as nothing changed during filming. However, if you heard a shot coincident with z-329, you may have shook the camera - he was fairly close to the scene.. Remember a shot fired, could cause camera jump or what you saw in your camera lense disturbed you! The only reason they didn't make the LHO lone gunman shot fit to this frame is because you could see the President's frontal reaction and it would not add up. Going back in his seat and raising his arm does not match a shot from the rear. So they chose the frames a few slides early!
Removing frames is also important if you want to speed the scene up. Obviously the editors would know how to use that trick. Snip out every other frame and maybe repeat a few and you could end up with the illusion of motion once more. You may ask why? Eye witnesses stated that the "motorcade momentarily halted". I have quoted two of them in my video. Notice again, the mainstream rhetoric that the motorcade never did come to a stop and was swiftly moving by at 15 mph. After all the crowd was finished and it was time to hustle on down to the luncheon meeting! Again, this supports the argument that they sped off to the hospital just as fast as they could and that the Secret Service did their job throughout - just an unfortunate event!
Analogy to the 911 Investigation - An internal InquiryThis assassin fired 2 bullets, 1/2 a second apart. He was different than the neck shot assassin who I favored would be the umbrella man in front of sign with a small calibre gun so less noise. Interesting with a 20 mph, how the umbrella remains motionless at the sign for quite a number of frames. Strong man with those wind gusts you can see lifting dresses on the Muchmore Film!!
Back to second assassin. Again, his shots are consistent with Malcom's Summer's remembrance of the shot timing. That interview was conducted by the History Channel in 2002. I have included the excerpts in my Youtube video and I have the link embedded in the contents. He tapped his desk to indicate shot timing and indicated he heard 3 shots in total. One shot and then about 5 seconds later, 2 in fairly quick succession. Certainly, 2 shots in quick succession would not be physically possible with reload time to accomplish this with a bolt action carcano rifle, A 20 mph wind may have also affected shots in quick succession for grouping at that distance on a moving car! So much of the evidence in this case suffers from misinformation. No bullets, no pictures of crime scene, no proper autopsy report and no purported motive by LHO. A complete frame job. It is like the 911 Twin Tower's investigation where they find a slightly burned recognizable terrorist passport fluttering in the street 2 blocks away from the crash and provide that as evidence that it came off the airplane and it was the hijacker's! Or a car rented and abandoned by a terrorist hijacker at another scene near the airport, complete with suicide note and a box cutter thrown in for good measure which gives you a closed case on it all! He had to have been one of those onboard, even though you can't prove it. Totally circumstantial! Its like someone committing suicide with 2 shots to the back of the head in a hotel room!
The Car Crime Scene - An "Internal" Investigation and its acceptance in good faithThe evidence provided from the limousine was held in secret and internally investigated. Again, this was controlled and not examined by an independent third party agency. As the system stands, there is an element of accountability missing as those doing the investigating are only accountable to themselves. There is no room for a conspiracy theory. It is simple, if you operate above the law, are the law and make the laws, who keeps you accountable? The path is circular in case you haven't noticed! This could be a very serious over reach and abuse of power. Does it still happen today?
What pictures and reports that were released may have been selected and filtered out to the public to prove or disprove what they want you to see? This can be cited as reason of National Security and hid from you for 54 years or more! "You need more evidence, maybe I can help you". Where is the accountability in corruption?
So one can never be sure if you investigate yourself, what you will yourself will find? If I can create the paperwork and control it, there is not a system of checks and balances The system breaks down. So with that in mind, was there a broken windshield? Some have said there was and that it was replaced at the factory. If there are no pictures, I could park this limousine anywhere, stage a few actors and introduce it as required to support my story line - no broken windshield. Especially if I want to the story line that will prove without a doubt that the bullets came from the 6th floor of the TSBD building and from behind! Gets a little dodgy when you need a magic bullet though!
Remember, if the car was removed from the scene, we are trusting that the people removing are conducting a proper examination of it in their quest to preserve truth, not protect themselves. If you think, the players at the scene are involved and trying to cover things up, what do you suppose you would find after they are done? Certainly the fingers won't be pointing back at them! That would be foolish! So, no pictures of this limousine from any other direction other than the rear at the hospital, thus showing and proving an unbroken windshield. They also show the authorities putting on the bubble to preserve the evidence! Was this done at the hospital? Did they drive the car back to the airplane where it was loaded onto an airplane? How long until the bubble arrived? Who knows when those pictures were really taken and where!! Looks to me, that unless you were part of the internal investigating group, no one independent looked at the scene of this crime. It was off limits to public scrutiny and was very controlled and limited to a trusted few such as the FBI!
What did Hoover say was his biggest fear? That they not lose the lone gunman scenario. Lose this and "they would be wearing it"! Did they slip it? Only the FBI and Secret Service were allowed to investigate. An appointed WC with a former JFK fired CIA leader Allen Dulles was also left as part of the analyzing team to insure justice was served! Shouldn't there have been an independent inquiry into his death? Common sense would say the autopsy should have been done locally not in Washington - where was the crime committed? All sorts of photographs of the car could have been introduced by the local Police Force if you were serious about having justice served. Of course that would involve getting more people involved and maybe the truth would come out as someone would talk! You would not have to deal with this and try to knock down even more conflicting evidence. Using this reverse logic, there is good reason it became a matter of internal investigation!
Why not make it very clear that all shots came from the 6th floor - very easily proved if it was factual and you would have added 1000% credibility to that story and no more conspiracy theorists. Instead the evidence was not allowed to speak for itself without great manipulation all along the events. Isn't pulling a bullet almost undamaged from a stretcher a little bit odd and a pretty big coincidence? Is that maybe not stretching it a little bit? Altering, cutting, splicing and failure to provide all the evidence is obstruction of justice! If you need to control the investigation of evidence, there is an alternative motive present and there is something very seriously wrong with the investigation including its methodology. The element of transparency was missing and is still missing today. Heavily redacted and blacked out reports help the perpetrators get away with their crimes. 54 years later, they are still concerned with national security! Not all documents released. I certainly don't expect anything of significance is left to uncover. All incriminating evidence would have been shredded years ago.
The Rolling Assassin and the President himself - Action Speaks louder than WordsI am actually surprised that they left the assassin in the film as he ran across in front of the car and rolled out of the way. That is a smoking gun. No one in the entire film has a momentum action like this man. The people around him are still busy clapping, holding cameras and carrying on as if nothing has just happened. The assassin sticks up like a sore thumb - he is generally ignored! The most telling action comes from the President himself. At the same time as driver Greer, flinches, an injured, "neck shot" President moves back in his seat and raises his arm - just before z-322 where it promptly drops, never to move again! A chest shot by the looks of glass spray -yes the light is your friend in this case! That tells you he was still conscious and that he saw something very close - clear line of sight to assassin's bullet! From a slump to a reaction - vision was still clear! Go to work Hawkeye, see what you can do!
Secondly, look at the actions of this man who has just undergone a lobotomy in z-313 and makes a move back against the purported bullet flow! That is not an instinctive action and reflexive move to a lobotomy created by shell entering from the rear. Again, there is no "horror" reaction during z-313 by Jacqueline Kennedy, She continues to study his neck wound and try to understand what is happening. Look at your frames Jerry in your previous post! Zapruder's camera is rock steady during this period! Most certainly a six foot plume of brain and blood from the wound as shown, would have covered his wife's dress, face and everything else in the car! She would not be continuing to study his neck wound to figure out what has just happened! If that shot was in fact the case, it would have added credibility to Nelly Connally's ABC TV interview where she mentions Jacqueline Kennedy had said "she had his brains in her hands!" The whole morbid scene is farcical. The "horror" reaction comes after z-329 where the third shot hit JFK in the head and he is now beyond help and is in fact disfigured. She decides to leave - a wise move based on an immediate reaction to what she just witnessed! Z-331, turns the white face to a red blur. Look at the sequence, Total lobotomy at z-313. Face magically reappears and not a great draw job on it. Back of head never changes position though, only paint on front. It slowly subsides as frames progress. No splatter on Jacqueline though - face is clean and very visible throughout, nothing in eyes! President moves back in seat and raises arm. A red blur appears once more at z-331. Obviously just happened! Mis-panned, shaky and blurry - it is red, not a white blob anymore and isn't just a carryover from a pink dress in the mis-panning! The frames after this show a head which totally disappears, just a "gold nugget" (reflecting light!) sometimes blended in with the pink dress! A serious head wound occurred at Z-329 and is a valid conclusion and z-313 has nothing to do with it! Jackie saw the horror of Z-329 and bails!
Nelly and John Connally as 1st order WitnessesAs I pointed out with my Youtube video, look at Nellie's testimony and her claim of a huge wound in her husband's mid chest area. Did she never sleep with him? Did she never see his scars? It begs you to ask - what scars? Her story is at total odds with the suit jacket on display on the internet and at total odds with the Zapruder film. If you look at her position right near z-350 in the film, she has her head down behind her husband and over towards JFK's legs. After this, you can see John Connally getting back up after the shooting event into an upright position after ducking. He was face down on her legs at z-358. Play the film back and watch him pop his head backup after the ordeal! Pretty amazing for a guy who would be suffering from a 5 inch pulverized rib injury - must have been adrenalin! She claims her husband was lying face up on her lap and it was all that her husband and her could do to keep him alive!! Both there hands were needed to be pressed on a gaping wound the size of a baseball, bleeding profusely! How many years did she live with him? Maybe she divorced him and never see him naked - I don't know! You can't start spinning bigger and bigger yarns and lies and get away with it! Or can you? Pretty amazing! No one reproofs the story - it is taken for the gospel! Just let your imagination run wild like a dingy on the ocean in a hurricane!! The more you embellish it - the better it becomes. Jean Hill - that is another story!
Even the suit jacket shows a bigger hole on the back of the suit than the front which most ballistics experts tell you would be a frontal shot! That too is at odds with his very 1ST interview where he points to his back and seemingly knows where the shot came from that hit him! Then he back tracks and recounts that he may not recall anything accurately as things happened so fast, maybe unconscious etc. A true politician's spin. Never commit and don't say anything! After 5 days he has a full recovery other than a finger splint and "casted" arm hanging in a sling, nurse present! No pain from a fractured rib, no coughing, no spluttering - no breathing difficulties - a perfect political speech after gaping wound and having 4 or 5 inches blown out of his 5th rib and pulverising it (WC report). He is seemingly an unscathed medical miracle after 5 days! "Broken ribs are painful and I wouldn't be pointing to my back!" They take months to heal - not 5 days!
Again, if the President seen what was coming from the front, Connally and Kellerman were out of the way and not hurt. Just need a little help from Hawkeye!
Closing ArgumentsEven with the autopsy that was performed, let the doctors do their job. He was dead! No! Instead FBI and secret service are present and there to protect the body and "guide" the evidence taking. I could understand one person being present. Instead, there were lots of people present with the doctors to conjecture and tailor what they were to report and see! Rather than let them investigate, they point the investigation. What doesn't agree with your "storyline", gets redacted and removed from the evidence pile - pretty simple and pretty sad!
By Texas law, the body should NOT have been removed from state and there should have been a Grand Jury appointed for trial. Very simple and proper! Those people were not obeying the rule of law and acted in a manner above the law. They should have been thrown in jail and charged with obstruction of justice and contempt. Instead you have a WC, no Grand Jury, no crime scene - no proper investigation of anything. Car body, and all evidence removed from the scene and went back to Washington!! Conspiracy!
The Lee Harvey Oswald Rabbit Trail - Follow the Money!One look at Lee Harvey Oswald's tax return could tell you on whose payroll he was operating. He defected to Russia, visited Cuba , had an American passport, had a Russian passport, then an American one again - very bizarre! I guess he had a rich daddy that paid for all his escapades, married and children. Follow the money! The reality is that his tax return would have revealed more than what they would want you to discover about him and all you needed to know - end of story. Who paid his bills and who did he work for? This was an incredible framing that he underwent. He was tailored and groomed for much of a year or even longer. No light shed on how he was making money and traveling around the world to support himself.
He most definitely had to be removed without giving any statement and none was taken at all during his times spent in custody. Or was it conveniently shredded? He became a
cop killer (Tippit murder). Again, pure conjecture on my part, but at that time, it was hoped that another officer in the force would do his duty and seek revenge on him and kill him. That would tie up the loose end rather conveniently. If he actually was a cop killer, you wouldn't end up going to a theater to hide and wait for them to find you, would you? You would be on the run! If you
DIDN'T know that you killed a cop, you just might go there if you were following someone's instructions! They apprehended this guy very fast under suspicious circumstances and without a fight. I think they hoped he would resist and then they could shoot him. My conjecture:
"If he was capable of killing a cop and the President, he was a very very dangerous felon and a sharpshooter too! We can't let him get away with this! Kill him on sight and serve him justice he deserves!" He repeatedly declared his innocence and called out to the media to have a lawyer present. No legal council was ever given! It was pitiful the way they led him as shown in the film footage released. Talk about a public lynching! Hands up, declaring himself innocent. He looked more like Jesus Christ carrying his cross to Calvary than a cop killer and dangerous sharpshooter / felon! Truly patsy material!
