This film with synchronized sound also shows the crowd of witnesses running up the knoll--
Enjoyed this enhanced French video that was posted.
My opinion still remains that the first shot was fired at the JFK when he was obscured behind the sign just prior to Z225. No one ever comments about the 2 people who were eye witnesses to the first shot visible from Z225 and on.
The one was wearing the blue jump suit (bald or hairless?) and the one behind appeared to be a colored guy with suit and hat (RHS of frame) standing next to or right behind him. The blue jump suit man's hand goes from a clapping position to behind the back and then returns back to front. Must have had a little itch to scratch! There faces were blurred and unrecoverable in film enhancement. Were these 2 ever interviewed? They are not present in any other films to my knowledge. To me, the first shot was low caliber, possibly even a dart gun. Judging from JFK posture in later frames, his cheeks became puffed and he was having difficulty breathing. It is difficult to say if these 2 individuals even were turning their heads to continue to watch the Presidential procession at the time as they are heavily "redacted". They are prime witnesses and their actions are suspect. Most other characters in the film are almost motionless on the sidelines, save the running girl!
I still go out on a limb to say that all Zapruder Films were tampered with. If you allow Hollywood to have its day and allow for extreme video editing of select frames (in the area of Z313-Z316 and on), you can create a story.
Take those frames out and you can see a different picture from the film anomalies present at Z322 and Z330.
(Look closely at the French video at 0:44 seconds (Z322) and continue with windshield light aberration at Z330. Doesn't it look like the French film shows a projectile coming in from front as JFK's hand is being raised? Is that a film scratch? Was there really a light aberration at Z330 coinciding with an obvious red smear on the President's head? Jacqueline is horrified at about Z336 and decides to jump from back of car to save herself - not scrape up brain matter as some would have it! Obviously there is a quick reaction from her different than what her reaction is just after Z313 where she is showing increased concern for her husband - not yet, total horror. If such a blast occurred as shown in Z313, she would be rubbing the blood splatter out of her eyes as evidenced from the "cloud" surrounding her and leaving much quicker. We see no evidence of that! The horrified face became apparent much later.
Lets say you believe Z313 to be the first kill shot. High powered rifle shots would force your body movement in the direction of the muzzle blast, not against it. Everything goes against reality here. Such a headshot, would have rendered the President "nerve" less and his hand would not have moved up in a defensive posture. He would have collapsed forward - end of story.
And of course, the obvious.
The First Lady was never allowed to give her rendition of the sequence of events and where she thought the gunfire came from. How many shots were fired and what in her opinion she saw? Why did she react and attempt to jump out of back? Obviously she was horrified at what she just witnessed and seemed to have clear eyed vision of what just took place. She didn't climb out on the trunk blindly. She obviously didn't feel protected at JFK's side and feared for her own life. She likely had quick thoughts that she could be the next victim in this crime scene - a need to keep her mouth shut if she saw too much and may be a loose end. Her side of the story has never being told. She may have rightly feared for her own life and the safety of her children. An inside job and her knowing that would have a great influence on her future well being no doubt.
Logic progression of Zapruder Film, shows the President raising his arm in self defense, not a reaction from a bullet striking him from behind. He was conscious enough to see what was happening and John Connally was conscious enough to duck down momentarily below the seat back (see video). The front SS agent ducked as well. Connally's head later came back above seat line after what I believe were 2 rapid shots - indicating he had not lost consciousness. Follow the French film closely and see what I say is true. Connally's head is visible in the corner behind the driver for many frames later as they go into the tunnel.
The other major character that was never questioned was the man rolling into the grass beside Altgens. Altgens never winced and his picture likely taken at the time never publicized. This man next to Ike was never questioned as to who he was and why he did a rollover move next to the car at precisely the same time of the shooting. One frame clearly shows that this man's face could never be enhanced (Z351 is a prime example!)
The Warren Commission who would have saw the Zapruder film were not even a bit concerned to find this guy and interview him. Why was the car removed from the crime scene without being investigated? Why was the windshield changed? Wasn't that forensic evidence? It seems the windshield story had an ongoing adjustment fabricated as the story progressed and people "claimed" to have seen holes in windshield - that had to be sidestepped and put to rest. Some even go so far as to say it was gravel. Obviously it could not have been bullets coming from the TSBD as that is not reason to hide! All smells of fabrication and coverup after the fact. Even Nellie Connally's window half rolled up and sun visors flipped all the way up raises concern and makes you wonder if that was standard operating procedure. Similarly why bubble top wasn't used for protection - everyone loved him!
Why was it necessary that the assassin had to be at the TSBD building only when all people in films were seen clearly running towards the grassy knoll? Are we to believe that herd mentality cut in and only a select few heard shots from behind. ie. TSBD? and everyone instinctively ran for the hills? Why was the lead car waiting under the overpass? The Presidential limousine obviously slowed down, maybe almost stopped so that the secret service agent could run up from behind and jump on the back!
I listened to the audio tape of one reporter on the scene that day.
He astutely observed and stated on that day that there were 2 shots in quick succession. Obviously a contradiction to a bolt action sniper rifle. If it was a semi automatic handgun, it would make sense and make the shots come in about a second apart and placed with accuracy one after the other. Just my opinion. FWIW
