Is the Zapruder film a composite or an original?

[James Dahl]

             If Zapuder filmed the JFK Limo turning onto Elm St and then straightening out and heading down Elm St, (just as he did with the lead DPD motorcycle cops), this footage would have Also Included the Dal Tex Bld in the background. This building is often looked at as being the source of shot(s)

The 1998 laser analysis

Their ballistic analysis traced the FMJ through-and-through wound to Oswald in the Book Depository, but the headshot with an expanding round to Dal-Tex 2nd floor

That's an interesting trick.  How would ballistics determine that it was Oswald?

It can't, only where the shot came from.  "The Shooter in the 6th floor of the Book Depository" if you prefer other than Oswald

Dino Brugioni says it was not the original he saw. He should know don't you think

In my opinion, Brugioni did not see - and could not have seen -the original. The original was either still in Zapruder's safe or in Chicago (depending on when Brugioni saw his version). Zapruder sold the original and a first generation copy to Time/Life on Saturday morning, the day after the assassination. That original was then sent to the Time/Life offices in Chicago where they went to publishing stills/frames from it. The copy was sent to the office in New York. Two other first generation copies were given to the government on Friday, the day of the assassination.

So Brugioni likely either saw a copy that Zapruder gave the government or a copy of one of the two copies. But he couldn't, as I see it, have seen the original since it wasn't in the possession of the government. At least not during the time in question; which was, as I understand it, shortly after the assassination.

       The Point is, NPIC Image Expert Dino Brugioni said that the Zapruder Film he Examined on 11/23/63 was Different than the Current Zapruder Film.

It's  interesting how you conspiracy buffs all hate the CIA and think they killed President Kennedy, not to mention a slew of other accusations against them made over the years--but the minute a former CIA employee says something you just happen to accept the word of the former CIA employee who claims that there were "more frames" in the Zapruder film than what has been available over the years. Never mind the fact that Zaprider testified at the Clay Shaw trial while viewing his film that he identified it has his own film, or all other evidence that supports the film being authentic!

         NPIC Image Expert Dino Brugioni examined Images. This is what he did for his entire career. He was Legendary in this regard as to his examining the Images taken of Cuba during the Cuban Missile Crisis, U2 Spy Plane Images, etc. He was Not whatever your idea of a cloak-n-dagger CIA Agent may be. You would never confuse Dino Brugioni with Tosh Plumlee. Well, maybe YOU would. And let's not minimize what Brugioni had to say concerning the film he viewed on 11/23/63 vs The Current Zapruder Film. Not only did he believe there were More frames on the 11/23/63 film, he believed he Examined/Viewed Differing Images on these 2 Films.

  No kidding! I read up on the guy years ago, after Horne started peddling his tripe. 

It makes no difference to me what you think you know about Brugioni , comparing him with Plumlee.  How would know what type of CIA agent Brugioni is compared to any of them? 

 Your type believe anything these people say when it comes to everything JFK assassination--as long as it doesn't jibe with the official investigations.  We have had FBI agents come out of the woodwork claiming all sorts of rubbish, trying to sell their conspiracy nonsense, and with ease, they can be torn to shreds with evidence.  I do not believe anyone claiming that the Zapruder film--or any of the photographic evidence--in the JFK assassination has been tampered with.  People like Brugioni are a dime a dozen.
