The Zapruder Film is the most powerful evidence that irrefutably proves that the single head shot came only from behind, and all those Conspiracy Kooks who believe that there was two shots or that there was an exit hole in the back of Kennedy's head have been consistently providing the most stupid evidence that parts of the film have been altered and thus try to create doubt for the entire film.
Our very own Michael Griffith who endorses the most ridiculous and dumbass theories, all of which have been thoroughly debunked, is overwhelmingly threatened by the authenticated Zapruder Film. So Griffith makes the lamest amateur observations possible such as, he claims that Brehm's son natural movement has been altered, even though at that point of the film nothing happens?
That Summer's fall down has been altered even though everything else including Summers in the same frames show pure fluidity, but when I asked Griffith how "they" only isolated Summers, I'm met with the sounds of silence. And don't get me started on his frame removal nonsense because when I ask him, for example, if the Limo slowdown/stop was accomplished by removing some frames so why does all the background continually keep moving? and again he just stares back blankly and another diversion takes its place.
Anyway, the point of this thread is to completely destroy the last hopes of the devout CT, who mistakenly want to believe in a rear exit wound on the back of Kennedy's head.
Over at the Ed Forum which has been rapidly crumbling under the dictatorship of Old Iron Fist Sandy Larsen, a seemingly new member Keven Hofeling has been trying his best to present evidence of a rear head wound on Kennedy, all the while rejecting and shaming Pat Speer who is only presenting the multitude of reasons for why Hofeling is absolutely wrong. Btw Sandy, isn't shaming fellow members on your site supposed to be wrong, that is unless hypocritically, the shaming of the person has an alternate view to you?
Anyway, Hofeling has regurgitated this piece of deception which is about as misleading as you can get.
Apparently, according to Andrej Stancak someone altered the "colours to be in logarithmic scale" which at a glance of the altered Z319 is complete nonsense, the red filtering has changed all the colours and completely blown out any detail that would be expected with photos taken in log format.
Speaking from experience, my digital SLRs all had an option to take camera specific log photos which allowed for a more complete dynamic range, the initial photo is really low in contrast and appeared washed out and milky, so I needed to apply LUTs(Look up Tables) to bring back the colour and effectively there was more shadow detail, and highlights weren't overblown.
But the Zapruder Film is straight from exposed 8mm film and any additional filtering isn't going to make any enhancements and in fact as we will see, will only hide detail!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After a "scholar" researcher saw my work, I was lucky enough to acquire some Very High Resolution TIFF scans down to the granular level, from a 2nd generation copy of Zapruder frames, and this is about as close as one can get to the original Zapruder Film.
1. For a start look at the colour variation between my copy of Zapruder Z319 to the altered copy of Z319, the amount of red filtering has spilled onto the grass, all the specular highlights and basically everything within the frame, so how is this supposed to be a truer representation of the original scene?
How many original colour photos from that day show red dead looking grass? Also take note of Kennedy's hair in the lower back of head region at Love Field which appears much, much darker because it's in shadow.
(https://i.postimg.cc/wxS8kNq0/zap-origga2.gif)
2. Now let's look at an extreme closeup of Hofeling's image and my close to original Zapruder Frame.
2a. The back of Kennedy's Jacket shows unrealistic blocky posterized artifacts in the the filtered version, and looks more naturally even in the original.
2b. The back of head shadow in the excessively filtered "logarithmically corrected" version has obliterated the fine feathering between the shadow and hair line, whereas the original isn't just a black blob with clean delineation but shows blended edges which would be impossible to paint onto the shadowed area, which on 8mm film is a the fraction of the size of a pin head.
(https://i.postimg.cc/j2jHw29f/orig-Z319-vs-log-Z319.jpg)
3. The comparison of Z300 and frame Z317 almost a second later, in the Hi Res originals shows almost the exact same shading in the shadowed area and any slight variation is simply a product of a minor change of angle. Another factor that I never see discussed is, how on Earth do you create the perfect shade of matching "black" because the shadow area isn't pure black but a product of shadowed hair and illumination by the surrounding environment like the sky, grass, Limo etc. etc.. As soon as this "black patch" is simulated, like in Hofeling's Z317 deception, any fakery instantly stands out, whereas the original perfectly blends in with every other shadowed area.
(https://i.postimg.cc/xdznQP1J/Z300-Z317-crop.jpg)
4. Now to address the difficulty of painting out matter expulsion over a wildly divergent background, it's funny how frame Z317 was chosen because the rear head movement starts at Z314 and at frame Z315 there is no explosion of matter?
4a. We all know that at frame Z313 the explosion out the front is clearly visible.
(https://i.postimg.cc/bJtzpfqj/Zap-312-313.gif)
4b. But at frames Z314-Z315 there is absolutely nothing being expelled from the rear of Kennedy's head, but we know from frame Z313 and if some of the Parkland Doctors were right, then there has to be something to be seen, right?
(https://i.postimg.cc/RZKQ6NG3/zap-314-315-a.gif)
4c. And one last problem that needs to be addressed is how the heck do the alterationists repaint the entire region behind Kennedy's head? Because as can be seen in my conservative estimate, the amount of gore that needs to be covered up includes many varying contrasting areas which require a veritable smorgasbord of intricate recolouring, eg Jackie's arm, the Limo seat, the Limo trunk and the reflections, the specular highlights on the Limo trim, and the grass. But as to be expected from an unaltered original, all this area appears perfectly clean and natural and in no way is seen to be painted and don't forget that this entire area on 8mm film has the width of about a millimeter with some of the more intricate areas going down to a fraction of a millimeter and for our North American friends, 1 mm = 0.04 of an inch. And btw, this just gets more and more difficult for the would be CT artist, because as can be seen on the images above, these areas aren't just a flat plane of colour, but each area has varying shades of film grain and each these film grains are a fraction of a fraction of a millimeter, so in other words, good luck trying to paint and match areas with microscopic film grain the size of a few human hairs.

Hi John,
Great work, as always!!
My copy of the same film you have ends at frame 329, and that frame and the others show Mrs. Kennedy's gloved hand over top of that so-called "blackened out"
portion of the head, which to me proves that nothing's blackened out.

Hi Steve, I hope you are well.
And you're right, that's a great point because painting around the intricately fine details of Jackie's hand is yet another hurdle for the Conspiracy artist, and another detail that I forgot is that many of the Zapruder frames have varying amounts and angles of motion blur, and trying to paint matching motion blur just shifts the problem from impossible to beyond the infinite!

Presuming the X ray photo of JFK skull showing a large fragmented piece of skull at the right rear occipital region is correct and not a fakery
Then it’s not that implausible that the large rear fragmented piece of skull was forced Inwards as the bullet struck simultaneously transferring momentum to both the hard shell of skull and the soft mass of brain matter.
Having hair and skin still affixed, this dislocated rear piece of skull pushed inwards thus may be causing the distortion of the shape of the back of JFKs head in the Z film.
It’s this same piece of skull at the rear which was held in place by the gloved hand in the famous autopsy photo which attempted to define the entrance hole ( but unfortunately it’s not clear, so they had to have an Ida dox pencil drawing).
Not sure why they did not shave off all the hair and then photograph the skull fragments and reconstruct the skull with what pieces they were able to recover and photograph and film that process.
As far as the different memories of parties who witnessed the condition of JFKs head at different intervals, the different depictions of what the extent of the size of the cavity was may due to an initial preemptive attempt to reconstruct the skull placing the side and rear pieces of skull that were dislocated but still affixed with hair, back into place , as they tried in vain to resuscitate JFK.

My favorite CTer take is when they claim the Z-film is faked but without missing a beat cite the content as evidence of a conspiracy. The "fake" evidence presumably to implicate Oswald actually does the opposite and proves their subjective conclusion that Oswald was framed. And on and on it goes. It has become a bore. In the years that I've been on this forum, I've not read a single credible theory much less credible evidence that supports a conspiracy. Not one. Just a lame reiteration of long debunked theories or a scatter gun approach like playing an endless game of whack-a-mole (what about this, what about that) while ignoring the mountain of evidence and circumstances implicating Oswald. Most CTers have apparently recognized the futility of even trying to prove a conspiracy. They play defense attorney taking individual items of evidence out of context and desperately trying to create any doubt by nitpicking witness testimony or conflating their own subjective interpretation of words and events with reality. Repeat endlessly.

ive seen many many LN say CT cant offer a credible theory . but even if a so called CT did just that what would happen ? . what do LN call people with opposing views to them ? , what do they call people who for valid reasons dont accept the official version of events ? . they call them conspiracy THEORIST .they attack them for being conspiracy THEORIST . then LN complain that these same people havent , cant , did not ow will not offer them a THEORY .one does not require any theories to argue intelligently and indeed knowledgeably that there are serious problems with the official version of events . it is done here every day . but LN dance around that , ignoring what they dont care for and demanding theory when there are many facts that can be talked about . there is a lot that can be both proven or disproven and all without a need for a theory .all that said the theories here started in 1964 not with CT but with Arlen specter . and despite LN criticisms of CT they (LN ) continue 60 years later to cling to that theory despite science , and fact telling them that the theory was flawed at the least and also based on deception .

Well I've come to realise that the only explanation for the discrepancies between the LN and the CT scenarios is that the two plots were going on simultaneously and were totally unconnected with each other. Both parties were completely surprised and both were firing from the rear.

Hi Jim.
In the Z frame where you have the words "But gone here" with an arrow pointing towards JFK. what you are pointing to is Mrs .Kennedy's houlder, not JFK's head.

Knott Labs Laser 360 SCIENCE has proven the SBT "IS IMPOSSIBLE". This eliminated the LN scenario.

Exactly! That's exactly what I'm saying!
In the previous frame, we can see that the upper cranium is still in place after the first head shot. A few frames later,... it's gone.
So this can only be one of two things:
1. Proof of a second bullet impact to the head, immediately after the first.
2. A botched retouch of the Zapruder film.

I know that but the LNers here dispute the Knott Lab. model because of the assumptions they made about the body positions of Kennedy and Connally at the moment the back/neck shot. I proposed that they write to the Lab, to get things settled.

Frame 337.
I've drawn in a red outline to highlight the state of JFK's head at this point.
Earlier frames show skull and brain matter being blown out of the top of JFK's head.
The image above shows a massive crater in the top of his head.
The autopsy pictures show the top of JFK's head missing.
The problems arise because the true nature of JFK's head injury is little understood. In the picture above I have pointed out a large section of JFK's skull bone clearly visible on the side of his head. His skull is supposed to be on the inside, not the outside.
The red mass surrounding the bone is the inside of JFK's scalp, to which the bone is still attached.
As the pieces of skull are blown out of the top of his head, the scalp is ripped open. The pressure (due to cavitation) causing JFK's head to 'explode' blows a massive piece of scalp over the right side of his head. The inside of this piece of scalp with a bone attached is clearly visible.
However, the scalp is still attached to the head near the ear. This attachment acts as a hinge. On the way to the hospital Jackie tries to put her husband's head back together. She takes the large piece of scalp and places it back where it should be. When JFK arrives at Parkland this massive piece of scalp is back in place. This is why many of the doctors who work on JFK at Parkland are unaware of the full extent of the injury to his head. To them it looks like the injury is located only at the back of the head when in fact the injury takes up nearly the whole side of the upper right side of his head from front to back.
When JFK's body arrives at Bethesda, Jenkins describes taking the wrappings off JFK's head and the massive piece of hinged scalp that came away with the wrappings but could be put back in place, hiding the full extent of the injury.
For the undoubted authenticity of the Zapruder film read the Roland Zavada report. It is a truly comprehensive investigation of every single aspect of the film by one of the men who led the team which invented Kodachrome II, the film Zapruder used.
The only problem I have is with the way the bullet behaved upon impact. Is anyone else aware of an example of the type of bullet supposedly used in the assassination fragmenting in such a way. Any re-enactments I've seen show the bullet for the head shot staying in one piece.. Can such a bullet leave a trail of fine, metallic dust as it travels through JFK's head?
It seems a bit dodgy to me, but I'm no ballistics expert..

I've already answered this question.
Look at Jackie's face, there's no features. The frame is really blurry so it's difficult to make a proper assessment.

No, you haven't answered the question. Blurring merely masks the detail of a surface. It doesn't create or extend zones on tone/matter. Despite the lack of sharp definition, we can clearly see in the frame that the upper cranium area, a good 6" above the right ear is intact. A few frames later, it's no longer there.
So again, how would you explain what we see?
-
Were the photos above taken Before Or After Humes took the bone saw to the top of JFK's head? Be careful now. The aging Humes documented in his ARRB Testimony that he saw the body of JFK arrive at Bethesda BEFORE the hearse carrying Jackie and the ceremonial casket arrived there.

Jerry seems to have it covered.
Have you ever read the Zavada report?
-
So this is another thing you haven't mapped, Jim?
The missing scalp at the top begins in front of the ear, just like it's shown in clear frames like Z317, Z323, Z335 and so on.
Allowing for the changing lines-of-sight in the latter frames, I see no difference in the relationship of the head wound features.
Then how do you explain this image, with the upper cranium absent?

That is a huge, in-depth report! I haven't the time to go through it all but I guess what your point is that the Zapruder film wasn't tampered with, wasn't retouched.
In that case, the differences in the state of Kennedy's cranium between the two frames that I posted proves that there were 2 almost simultaneous bullet impacts to the head.
Unless you have a another explanation?

Not cranium being pointed to. Blood-drenched hair or scalp flaps (they're pretty red in the autopsy photos).
The opening of scalp at the top is mostly forward of a line drawn forward of the ear.
The scalp opening reaches up to the top of the head. Kind of interesting how the Zapruder film has the scalp opening in the exact same location as the autopsy photos. Cue the alterationists.
No, the mass at the summit of the head (which looks like hair covered cranium, not a wound, is absent a few frames later:
