    JFK was hit four times. The autopsy photo of JFKs back show two bullet wounds, one shot entry, one shot exit. The Z film shows JFKs head been hit two times,one in the back of head pushing his head slightly forward before the other a frontal shot,[ Head explodes and pushed back } Both shots came almost together. His his entire body is lifted with the force of the frontal exploding bullet { Dum Dum } and thrown back violently against his wife. LHO did not kill your President. He could not have made that shot !!! So that blows the MAJIC Bullet theory to bits...

    • @bricology
      @bricology 6 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Yup.
      Thompson obtained a Carcano rifle identical to LHO's, became proficient with it, and timed himself taking shots at a moving target the size of a man's upper body and head over the range in question (265 feet), as quickly as LHO is claimed to have.
      His conclusion: it was impossible to operate the Carcano's bolt-action while looking through the scope, and produce three accurate shots within 5.6 seconds. And LHO was no great marksman; his best score was a 212, which barely qualified him as "sharpshooter"; he was nowhere near reaching the "expert" level.

      The magic bullet was dullshit from the beginning. The only reason it lasted this long is because a traumatized mind cannot descern. The the thoughts of this event trigger a traumatic response and those who witnessed still do not function normally when dealing with it. That is why you have a disinterested party investigate.

      Are you a follower of David Lifton's research about JFK’s assassination, as set forth in his New York Times Bestseller, Best Evidence? Would you like to support his efforts in completing Final Charade, the sequel to that book? Final Charade contains new and important information which will significantly change the official history of this case. If you wish to contribute to this effort, please visit www.gofundme.com/f/publishing-final-charade-seq-to-best-evidence.
      David Lifton told me a few months ago how thrilled he was when he learned of Bob Dylan’s newly released song, “Murder Most Foul.” He was startled to hear Dylan explicitly referenced his original research that the Bethesda autopsy was falsified via the illicit removal of Kennedy’s brain prior to the official examination, resulting in an empty cranium at the time of autopsy. Bottom line: “missing brain” means that the genuine assassination bullets never reached the FBI Lab, and that in turn explains how Oswald’s mail order rifle was falsely implicated as the murder weapon; and Oswald, as the assassin.

He saw it before anyone did on Sat evening & he mentioned that the film that everyone (including you) saw is not the one he saw. His job was to isolate the frames when Kennedy was hit. #313 is the one that everyone uses but there were about 5 missing frames that nobody else saw. He referred to them as the "Pink Halo" shots. That story is here on TH-cam.

      Brennan was an eyewitness who saw Oswald take the shots, others saw the same man (but couldn’t identify him) pull the rifle from the window after the third shot. He was the only person who worked at the TSBD to flee the building afterward. In normal circumstances you would say the police were just doing their competent job. But in a famous person case, like the JFK case many people have to conspiratorial alternative facts.

    The point of this documentary is not to conclusively say one thing or another, but to continue the discussion of what it means to be an American in the shadow of events like these. These are the defining "tectonic shifts" that shape our nation, and in a way they shape the way our own minds think about ourselves. We identify with the young Kennedy, and so the tragedy hits us in a deeper place. This is us, we think. This is us.

      Read these three books: "JFK AND THE UNSPEAKABLE" by James P. Douglass, "THE BROTHERS" by Stephen Kinzer, and "MARY'S MOSAIC" (2nd Edition) by Peter Janney. These three books work so synergistically to describe what happened by describing the 'why' behind it all. Be sure to read the second edition of the Janney book because it contains an all important chapter about the CIA's involvement in the death of Mary Meyer.

      Oh yes, when the film makes it clear that the majority of the bloody spray exited forward, that two pieces of his head shoot upward and forward, that his head jerked forward several inches when first struck, that practically all of the visible exit damage was forward of his right ear...oh, but according to you that "doesn't" make it clear that the bullet came from behind.

      You are 100% wrong. What is shown in the film not only isn't from the grassy knoll, but cannot be from anywhere in front of the car. Kennedy's head moved forward when impacted by the bullet, as you can clearly see in frames 212-213, before either the recoil of the exiting brain matter or a neurological reaction caused the body to lurch backward. By Newton's third law of physics, this tells us definitively and without any doubt that the fatal shot came from behind.

    If you haven't seriously followed this story from an honest desire to know the truth then it's likely you haven't got a clue what really happened. I was 5 1/2 when it happened and when my kindergarten bus dropped my best friend and myself off in front of his house his mother met us and informed us the President had been killed in Dallas Texas. We all cried. 58 years later I know a whole lot more than I did that day. I will continue to learn more because I care about what happened that day. I know today that Lee Harvey Oswald didn't shoot anyone that day. It was elements of our own government that murdered JFK. WE KNOW BECAUSE WE NOW KNOW MORE THAN ONE PERSON FIRED AT THE PRESIDENT AND ALSO THE PRESIDENT WAS HIT IN THE HEAD BY SOMEONE FIRING FROM THE RIGHT FRONT NOT THE TEXAS SCHOOLBOOK DEPOSITORY. WE KNOW A WHOLE LOT MORE THAN THAT ALSO. WE KNOW THE CIA PLAYED A MAJOR PART IN THIS MURDER. WE DONT YET KNOW WHO THE SHOOTERS WERE. WHAT IS MORE IMPORTANT IS WHO TOLD THESE PEOPLE TO DO THIS, WHY.

    So what's happening when he appears to clutch his throat? Is he already dead by that point? The car seems to slow down & Jackie looks at him like they don't know he's been shot. That's when the "big" head shot occurs. All I can tell for sure is he's hit from the same side of the Zapruder film & appears to bounce backward, which implies a shot from the front. What that means I don't know because I haven't studied this case AT ALL & wasn't alive then.

      as you mention that you havent studied the case you may not know that some 50 people said they believed atleast one shot came from the knoll area which is to the right rear of mr zapruder as he was filming . atleast 10 witnesses said they saw a puff of smoke under the trees there .

It feels like he is trying way too hard to make light of the situation and all of the questions that still linger today. It was an incredibly dark time, and that remains true decades later. I can’t help but think that he “doth protesteth too much”, and that his feeble attempts at levity fall very short.

    There have been re-enactments that reveal how loud 3 reports would have been in the confined space outside the TSBD. During these re-enactments, the street actors visibly respond to the extremely loud gunshots. There was an analysis that was done on Mr Zapruder and his momentary shaking of the camera, at what is perceived to be an involuntary reaction to the shots. Has anyone done the same analysis for the 11-22-63 street onlookers? Is there any discernable instant when a majority show a reaction to gun shots? If nothing else, this might add to the probative value of the Zapruder analysis. It might perhaps pinpoint the moment JFK is hit behind the freeway sign.

    UPDATE: We now know this OpDoc is no longer accurate. The Zapruder film was not the clock of the assassination we thought it was. Thompson’s whole premise is off..by precious seconds. It wasn’t six seconds in Dallas, but eleven seconds in Dallas.
    “The Zapruder film serves as a clock,” Morris points out. One can measure the time it took for the three assassination shots (one missed) to be fired-which the Warren Commission concluded was slightly under six seconds-and then calculate how long a single shooter would take to shoot, reload, resight, shoot again, reload, resight and shoot again. Thompson concluded that Oswald wouldn’t have had the time to get off all three shots himself and-after working with Life’s copy of the Zapruder film-he published his findings in “Six Seconds in Dallas.”
    But we now know Josiah Thompson’s “Six Seconds in Dallas” is deeply flawed. He based his conclusions on the Zapruder film being a real time account of the assassination. It was not.
    Abraham Zapruder filmed the assassination of John F. Kennedy in Dallas. And for 57 years, most people have presumed that his home movie captured the assassination in its entirety. This presumption has led to deep misunderstandings.
    The majority of witnesses in Dealey Plaza heard three shots fired. Lawmen found three cartridges in Lee Harvey Oswald’s nest on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository. Yet Zapruder’s film captured only two shots clearly. As a result, the film has been scoured for evidence of another shot, presumably the first one fired at the president. Research has yielded contradictory findings.
    But what if Zapruder simply hadn’t turned on his camera in time?
    Zapruder’s 26-second movie has two distinct parts. Approximately seven seconds after he started filming from the north side of Elm Street, Zapruder stopped his Bell & Howell Zoomatic at frame 132 because only Dallas police motorcycles were driving by. He did not restart his camera until the president’s limousine was clearly in view. Consequently, Z 133 is the first frame to actually show the president’s Lincoln - a frame exposed several seconds after the car had made the sharp turn onto Elm Street from Houston Street - and, we believe, after Oswald had squeezed off his first shot.
    If this belated revelation changes nothing from one perspective - Oswald still did it - it simultaneously changes everything, if only because it disrupts the state of mind of everyone who has ever been transfixed by the Zapruder film. The film, we realize, does not depict an assassination about to commence. It shows one that had already started.

The person put forward was George Joannides who not only was active in 1963 with the CIA but had a direct link to Oswald via the CIA's support for the Cuban exiles, who clashed with Oswald and monitored him.
      He deliberately withheld information of his own role 1963 and crucial documents that were absolutely necessary to investigate the murder.

If you had rehearsals beforehand you could not have had a better place to stop. Right beside the marker, the umbrella man on a sunny day. To a novice gunman this made it easy for him. To a trained marksman the President was served up on a silver platter. Yet we never talk about the driver. If it was a conspiracy people were involved. What about the driver. A trained SS driver should have got out of there fast after the first shot but no.. No, he slows right down at the right spot for the killer shot. Yet knowone talks about it.. Why?

    @ 9:05, that's the first I've heard the Life Magazine lie exposed in 50 years, they thought the film would never be seen so fabricated the sequence of the first shot. Interesting that JT says it was meant to back up the lone shooter case but backfired - why not get further into the motive, or wonder why the author of that lie was never held accountable? Even if it was all actually Oswald, printing a lie regarding the president's death should have been seen all along as a criminal act IMO - CJ

    It's true we're no closer, and that is writ large in the fact that there is no widespread acceptance of what actually happened. So many groups and organisations disliked President Kennedy, yet his popularity would likely have seen him re-elected comfortably in 1964. Indeed, his trip to Texas, unofficially, formed part of that effort.

    There are really no answers from Thompson in the above. That said, however, if we're to accept what he's saying - that the films and photo stills tell the whole story - then what the Zapruder film is telling us is that the final, fatal shot to JFK's head came from the *front* and not the rear, where Lee Harvey Oswald was located in the Texas school book depository.

      Indeed, but people went into MASS DENIAL and refused to see the truth (because it was too traumatizing ? Too illusion-shattering ? It reminds me of the "denial process" of a mother who refuses to believe her daughter when she tells her that Daddy plays funny games with her when they're alone together and the mother goes "DON'T TALK ABOUT THAT EVER !!" Same process. People just didn't want to hear about a possible conspiracy. But the same way that child abuses are now openly reported and no longer hidden, I think people now are ready to face the Truth about the JFK case. Times have changed. Illusions have been shattered many times since 1963.

    Josiah “Tink” Thompson and Errol Morris got it wrong. The Zapruder film was not the time clock on the assassination everybody thought it was.
    Max Holland and Johann Rush have solved the JFK assassination by proving the Zapruder film wasn’t the time clock on the shooting everybody thought it was. Oswald didn’t fire three shots in six seconds, he fired three shots in eleven seconds. The first shot glanced off a traffic light pole. The second shot went through President Kennedy and Governor Connelly.
    The third shot was fatal.
    The proverbial “smoking gun” in this case turned out to be the most viewed piece of film in the world. The 26 second Zapruder film. For 44 years, most people have presumed that his home movie captured the assassination in its entirety. This presumption has led to wild speculations, wrong leads, and false conclusions.
    Zapruder’s 26-second movie has two distinct parts. Approximately seven seconds after he started filming from the north side of Elm Street, Zapruder stopped his Bell & Howell Zoomatic at frame 132 because only Dallas police motorcycles were driving by. He did not restart his camera until the president’s limousine was clearly in view. Consequently, Z 133 is the first frame to actually show the president’s Lincoln - a frame exposed several seconds after the car had made the sharp turn onto Elm Street from Houston Street - and, after Oswald had squeezed off his first shot.
    We now know the Zapruder film does not depict an assassination about to commence. It shows one that had already started.
    ON NOVEMBER 22, 1963 LEE HARVEY OSWALD FIRED THREE SHOTS FROM ONE RIFLE AND KILLED PRESIDENT KENNEDY IN DALLAS, TX. END OF STORY.
    JFK conspiracy “die hards” will forever keep looking at irrelevant, insignificant, and proven falsehoods to keep their delusional conspiracy theories alive. They are cursed to keep looking and wandering the earth trying to find something that isn’t there. I understand the psychology behind their pursuits. Still, it’s sad.

  • @midtod
    @midtod 9 ปีที่แล้ว +19

    We KNOW there were missing frames from the Zapruder film as it jumps just as JFK is going behind the freeway sign. Well, in an oral history recorded by Jackie Kennedy right after the assassination, but only released a year or so ago, she said that just before her husband was shot, she happened to be glancing at the green freeway sign when all of a sudden pieces of it flew toward them and the President was hit. This had never been reported before. But it comes from the First Lady herself. This explains why somebody would want to remove some frames as Kennedy goes behind the sign; otherwise we might well see it being struck by a bullet FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR. It's pretty hard to impeach the eyewitness recollections of the First Lady. Also, you should look on TH-cam for "The Great Zapruder Film Hoax." It's in multi-parts. Some guy has taken the still photos and compared them with the film, and although a lot of it is rather boring, he makes a convincing case that the spatial relationships in the background of various objects and people (including a truck) are not consistent. in the film. They are different in the film than in the still pics, suggesting that the movie has been altered.

    • @D800Lover
      @D800Lover 9 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Larry Jordan The jumps just before going behind the freeway sign, they are not missing, Zapruder just wasn't filming. The camera used was 8mm film. This was apparently 16mm film folded in two. One side would be used. The spool was then flipped over. You would then film with the other side. The film would be cut and joined when processed. The missing frames was because Zapruder decided to flip the film so that he would not run out of film at the wrong moment.
      BTW, Josiah in the above video, worked for Time and actually had access to the original film - the best quality - and has done extensive time measurements - the forward movement of JFK's head can be seen as blur on the forehead of Connally and hence it was camera movement. Also, Josiah was in the best position to examine if the Zapruder film was altered as he had access to the original and every other copy since.
      The 1998 Kodak/Zavada test report on this original film has finally put this to bed.
      This has never really bothered me - if there was any attempt to alter the film, then THEY TOTALLY FAILED !!!
      If I wanted to alter the Zapruder film to hide something, then *I* could have done a better job. The film shows exactly what happened and *it does not agree with the official authorised version of a single shooter*. It proves the Warren Report is a sham.
      So the Zapruder film works just great as it is - and that in itself supports the view that it was not altered. Because if it had, *ALL* the evidence would have been obliterated - yet it is still there.

    • @midtod
      @midtod 9 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      D800Lover Where are you getting this idea that in the split seconds Kennedy was behind the sign Zapruder decided to flip film? Why do we see two motorcycle cops and then nothing until the limo suddenly appears? No film, even in that day, ran mere seconds, so there should be no necessity for Zapruder to have to flip the film during the extremely brief time he was filming Kennedy. If there was no alteration of the film, why were TWO sets of lab techs involved -- and that is irrefutable -- both Saturday night and Sunday night? And how can anyone possibly discount Jackie Kennedy's fresh recollection of pieces of the freeway sign hurtling toward them? Yet nobody official has ever revealed that the sign was hit?

      +D800Lover The Zapruder film is contradicted by films shot from other angles and it is absurd to think Zapruder decided to "flip the film." A very convenient occurrence just as JFK disappears behind the sign. The Parkland hospital doctors were the best witnesses to the condition of the President's body and they described an entry wound into the front of the throat. The gaping hole seen in later photos is not even accounted for by the tracheotomy. Furthermore, even SS agents described a gaping wound in the BACK REAR of Kennedy's head. But let's just forget about all that because we've got a patsy in Lee Oswald and it fits the govt. story. LBJ was an entirely honest man with no murders behind him and had nothing to gain by becoming President except it stopped pending investigations and he immediately reversed JFK's course in Vietnam and his oil and other cronies got even richer. You also believe in fairytales too I'm sure.

The existing (surviving) photo and film record is not the total photo and film record and is of limited value. We have been given a selective version of the event which amounts to an edited account. I think that we exhausted this particular source of evidence by about 1966, and that no more visual study, however scrupulous, will yield anything.

    The cracks are how the light gets in. A remarkable artifact, made for the 50th anniversary of JFK's murder and produced and distributed by America's established paper of record, directed by America's greatest living documentarian, Errol Morris. In short, this film reeks of integrity, the very best that the American establishment can muster. And music by Philip Glass. It takes its time with a focused argument, does not dictate narrative, requires from you your sustained, critical attention and in the end reaches no simple conclusion. Or does it? If Trump got to the whole truth of this turn in world history, America might discover its soul. And if not now, when? If Trump did that, he'd have gravitas and respect. JFK was a brave and wounded veteran, a Lieutenant. When was the last time you saw that from the ruling class? At least watch the film in a quiet moment and with an open mind, Kennedy deserves that. And if you think it at all important, why not share it? The cracks are how the light gets in.

    US-police had a lot of experience with mafia and the protection of witnesses at that time. At the moment of Oswald assassination 48 h after the Kennedy assassination nobody could know if there was not a conspiracy. President Johnson, FBI, police, army had to take into account, that it was, perhaps, a first step of major attack by KGB and USSR. Or at least, that Oswald has been a part of a bigger organization, for example mafia. Or sth else. If it was not a government conspiracy then the FBI and police would place 3 armed officers at the door of Oswald cell in Dallas police station. None would know the time Oswald was to live the station, the corridors would be empty, none would have an occasion to enter the police station during the transition of Oswald and he would have had a body armor. President Johnson would not take a risk to live Oswald in the hands of the police and would take him to the military base surrounded by tanks and many soldiers. This is the way a superpower would behave after an attack on its supreme commander, on the president able to start a nuclear war. France would behave like that, USSR would behave like that and Great Britain, too.
    But nothing of that kind has happened. And this "nothing" can be explained in two ways: 1. all responsible persons were mentally ill, or 2. they knew that USSR has been not involved, that mafia was not a danger, that there was no unknown conspiracy and that Oswald will be killed in few hours, because the only conspiracy in case was theirs.
    If the possibility number 2 was wrong, then why nobody has been punished for allowing to kill Oswald - as I presume? The Oswald widow should have sued the state for allowing the killing of her husband - the fault of the FBI and the police is obvious. That is why I am sure there was conspiracy of at least the government to kill president Kennedy. If there were no conspiracy then Oswald would stay alive much longer, at least to his trial.

I've shot guns at fruit, apples, melons, cans, etc and the spray pattern to me seems to show a shot from the front. I'm not an expert, but that is what it looks like to me. And then ... how could Jack Ruby be crazy and twisted enough to murder Oswald before he could be interrogated, unless he was shutting up a patsy? I still think after all this time there was a conspiracy. I think it was people in the US that did not like Kennedy's populism, but I have no idea who, or if it was any particular one group ...
