Fascinating view of the Dealey Plaza timeline...I first saw it in the summer of 1972, about a month before one of the photos was taken, when we moved to the Dallas area. It was striking to me then, even as a teenager, how small was the stage on which the tragedy of the JFK assassination was played out. I was there again while they were shooting 11-22-63, and got to see how Dealey Plaza was set up for the next scene. Again, it was amazing to see how small that site is. Thanks for this video!
It's funny, when you think about Dealey Plaza and its creation, back in 1935. During the beginning of its construction and for the next 28 years or so, the name Dealey Plaza must have initially symbolized, or meant something else, rather than just the assasination of JFK, reminding the importance of a certain relevant significance, to the people of Dallas, at one point in time, as a particular location, until that fateful day arrived, on November 22 1963. In other words, it's wasn't until 1963 that Dealey Plaza took a whole new turn and a whole brand new meaning, as it symbolizes today, the death of JFK. Thus, Dealey Plaza will always remain as a particular location, which is frozen in time. No matter what people do, everyday will always be November 22 1963, on Dealey Plaza.

Yes right in front of police station, FBI, Federal Building, their most coveted spot Dealey Plaza by a relative of Robert E Lee, exactly 100 years from the middle of the Civil War! I will bet they were watching from the windows.
It was not an ambush . People just cannot comprehend that one lone assassin killed the president of the United States . As a result hundreds of conspiracy theories made up. You only have to study Lee Harvey Oswalds life, activities before and after the assassination. His conduct and actions after the assassination proves his guilt .
@@jhfit I’m really not sure what he is suggesting, but it sounds like he’s saying they’ll be tearing into the site to cover up or eliminate evidence… “getting too close to the truth”. Jeez let it go. My take is simple on the whole thing. I subscribe to the facts, and the physical evidence of the assassination. I used to be a believer in a conspiracy at a high level, but the more I looked at each critical aspect of it, the more I saw it was just Oswald, it was always just Oswald. To understand the case, all you have to do is understand who he was, why he was, and why he was not only capable, but why he was motivated to kill Kennedy. Forget the wacky CIA connections, Oswald doubles, Oswald didn’t fire a shot, fake photos, he couldn’t shoot, his rifle was no good, the “patsy” business, he knew Ruby, and all of the rest of the bullshit.
@@jetcat132 You are 100% correct. I’ve been studying the assassination for over 40 years and your assessment is completely accurate. As a culture we are fascinated by the prospect of a diabolical plot involving the government, mafia etc, but in reality yes you are correct it was Oswald. 👍
3:12 -- If I made it out correctly, the time on the clock from the 11/24/63 photo reads 10:47, which would be 34 minutes before Oswald was shot by Ruby just a few blocks away at the city jail
Other than a coincidence when the photo was taken, it's irrelevant to the context when the photo was taken, which was, to show what Dealey Plaza looked like, circa 11/24/63. Your point?
The kill zone was marked with yellow painted stripes on the south curb of Elm Street. The painting was done the morning of the shooting, and Beverly Oliver, who was also known as the Babuska Lady, stepped in some yellow paint that was still wet. None of the defenders of the lone but theory have ever been to explain the reason for the painting of the yellow curb stripes.
I have been to Dealy Plaza twice. The first time was in 1990 and not a blade of grass has changed since 1963! The second time was within the last 5yrs. It has now become a tourist trap. People selling books and magazines on the streets. I saw tour guides leading groups of people around. It was nuts! I sit here and think what if my father got his brains blown out and someone is trying to make a buck off that. How disrespectful! This was NOT the case in 1990. Funny thing was both times that's the only part of Dallas I saw..........
Visiting Dealey Plaza and the Sixth Floor Museum in the early 2000s was an amazing experience that fulfilled something I'd wanted to do for a long time.
To me, it was something I wanted to do for a LONG time. I was born in November, 1963. I also hated the long cold winters of the northern US, and I had always thought I would be going to D/FW as soon as I grew up, since I was very much interested in an electronics-related career. Didn't happen.
I've been there. The museum, itself, should be taken with a healthy dosage of salt, since we all know what they are trying to present. That site, Dealey Plaza, is a killzone, make no mistake. No competent protection agency would send a president through that area unless there was military protection on the ground there.
Crazy that by the 1:49 mark where the limo comes up to this point and the pic is taken it looks so peaceful and just seems like a picture of the motorcade as if nothing has happened. Somewhere in the background is one of the shooters behind the knoll. Someone somewhere should have a picture or video that shows more than we have ever seen.
? There was one shooter, his name was Oswald, he was still in the building back there. No, he was alone up there on the 6th floor with no camera. Hope this helps.
Check out Leroy Blevins, Sr photographic analyses. His 13 shot analysis is a great place to start. He used in his analyses as I recall 3 8mm movie films and some more still photos taken during the assassination synced to the famous Zapruder film. What he is able to spot from these photographic sources alone is absolutely amazing. His innate and acquired forensic skills are extraordinary. He concludes as the video analysis is titled, 13 shots fired by either 4 or 5 shooters (I forget which) from 4 locations in approximately 200 frames from Zapruder’s camera set at 16 frames/second. About 12 to 13 seconds for one of our darkest moments. Judge for yourself his work. Leroy unfortunately passed away a few years ago. Fortunately his work is with us.
@naysayer1238 Yes, I actually imagined that as I looked at the picture. There in the background, probably still on the 6th floor of the TSBD and walking briskly toward the stairs, is the man who just murdered JFK.
I wonder whatever happened to the Stemmons Freeway sign that was so prominent in all of the footage that day. Definitely one of many historical artifacts from 11-22-63.
The Stemmons Freeway sign was taken down and never replaced. Some people have alleged that this sign had bullet holes in it from the assassination and was actually critical crime scene evidence as well as the presidential limo, which was cleaned right away and ordered shipped off by LBJ to Detroit to be completely rebuilt on Monday the 25th of Nov 63. The limo was parked and stored in the WH garage and guarded until it was shipped off. This also destroyed critical assassination evidence. The Warren Commission report ignores certain assassination eyewitness accounts and, in some cases, altered certain eyewitness testimonies. The official autopsy photos of JFK'S head wounds are conflicting with the Parkland Doctors' first descriptions of the head wounds they observed while attending JFK in trauma room #1 immediately after the assassination. This case has way too many unanswered questions and conflicting accounts for this issue to be considered solved. In my opinion, too much time has now passed, and too many people involved have passed away for the truth to ever be known. That is an unfortunate tragedy.
@@martybuster8364 According to the dates in the photo gallery in the video the Stemmons Freeway sign is still up in May of 64 so if it was removed because of bullet holes you would have thought it would have been removed immediately once the investigation started. Unless of course it was replaced with an exact replica of the existing sign. I have also heard what you said about the limousine. How that infamous vehicle was ever put back in service is definitely a head scratcher. I was 9 years old when this happened and have always been fascinated on this event. I have yet to make it out there but one day I hope to visit Dealey Plaza.
As a child in the early 1960's, I had a set of encyclopedias that were my mom's published in 1948. In "D" section describing Dallas, the main image was of the skyline with Dealey Plaza and the Triple Underpass prominently in the foreground. Who knew what it would mean in years to come?
I had a set of World Book encyclopedias that came out at the end of 1962. President Kennedy authored a first-person story in one of the volumes addressing the youth of the nation about the importance of learning. It was amazing to read that. It was illustrated with a big color picture of the President. He lived on.
@Brian Arbenz Nobody knows whether JFK actually wrote that World Book article. Ted Sorensen wrote the book Profiles In Courage. JFK is listed as the sole author. Ted Sorensen wrote the inaugural address including “Ask not what your country can do for you . . . .” JFK got credit in Bartlett’s Familiar Quotations.
This is what happened that morning of November 22, 1963 in Dallas and the Zapruder video speaks very clearly. The presidential limousine takes Elm Street and after a few meters the first shot fired by Nicoletti starts who, together with Rosselli, was hidden in the Dal Tex Building. The first bullet misses its target and hits the sidewalk of the triple railroad crossing at the end of the square and a splinter ends up in the face of James Tague, a passerby who was standing there. The second bullet hits Kennedy in the throat, and as you can see in the footage, the president puts his hands around his neck and Governor Connally turns back to understand what happened. The third bullet misses and ends up on the lawn where it is later found by an FBI man and Deputy Buddy Walthers. The fourth bullet hits Connally who emits a grimace of pain as seen in the video and brings his right hand to his stomach because he accuses an immediate pain and then the bullet pierces his right wrist and plants itself in the thigh of his left leg. The fifth bullet hits Kennedy in the back of the head and the sixth bullet, fired by James Files hiding on the grassy knoll half a second after the fifth shot, shoots both Kennedy's blood and head back, and the brain leaking was due to pressure. Of the sixth bullet that had left an apple-sized hole behind Kennedy's head, as evidenced by photos of 14 people bringing their hands to the same spot on their heads. I say with certainty that the bullets were 6 because it seems that a shot was fired about every three seconds, that is the time to reload the rifle. Returning to Connally, which is the key to clarifying the mystery well, there is a lot to say. 1) First of all, from the angle in which Oswald would have found himself firing, which was about 45 degrees, only Kennedy would have been hit and no one else, the bullet could not in any way make a deviation and then hit the governor. 2) When Kennedy is shot Connally turns around to see what happens and stays there for about three seconds, the time to reload the shot in the rifle; if the governor had been hit by the magic bullet, at the same time as the president, he would have had the same reaction as Kennedy and would have neither the way nor the strength to look back. 3) The governor Connally when he is wounded is still turned and you see a grimace of pain as I mentioned before him and then turn forward again and collapse on his wife's legs. 4) In the video you can see how Connally bumps his head in front of the glass that separates him from the driver's and assistant's seats. 5) Do you know why Connally was hit? Both because Kennedy threw himself on his wife's right shoulder, because bending over did not hinder the trajectory of the fourth bullet that almost grazed him hitting the governor, and because the shot was fired by Nicoletti from the window of the Dal Tex Building and reached the governor, because Kennedy was leaning towards his wife. So, not only does the first misses reveal where the shot really came from, but also what hit Connally. Indisputable and real evidence, but unfortunately denied by many, including the Warren commission which veiled so much evidence.
@@vincenzodangelo127 In your summation after point 5, quote "... not only does the first *missile* reveal ..." a reader with an understanding of language beyond elementary school would recognize your use of the word "missile" in the context you used it as a synonym for "bullet" or "projectile" or even "slug", however in the world of internet trolls like @Roy Buckle who possess a limited grasp of language beyond their crude and pitiful attempts to feign intelligence it often becomes futile to express cogent thoughts written at a level that exceeds the adolescent mentality of people such as the one who questioned your use of the word "missile" Aside from that , i found every one of your points intriguing especially taking into consideration the possibility of the sound of simultaneous shots being masked in the reverberating echo chamber of Dealy Plaza as well as the possibility of some weapons being affixed with silencers Thank you for giving time to post your well thought out comment
@@johnny4eel Thank you, imagine, you are very kind indeed. Now he has to correct that word, being Italian I made some translation errors. To hear from us and happy Sunday. 😃😃😃
@@vincenzodangelo127 You are very welcome and please rest assured that even in translation your use of the word missile in that context is appropriate and understandable, even to those with a modest vocabulary Thank you also for your kind words ✌
I have stated this before. You can see the yellow strips of paint on the South Curb (the last one) @ 2:29. Again at 2:45 I believe this to be a significant piece of evidence of the Conspiracy. These were visual aides to assist the Shooters with the help of spotters who were on the Knoll and triple overpass using Walkie Talkies..
I have problems of the 11-24-63 pic of stemmns and thornton signs as I thought stemmons was removed fairly quickly as it had bullet holes in it. Can someone tell me when the stemmons sign was removed and where it is now. Maybe the date was changed for photo date.
Yes all evidence of a conspiracy was removed especially spent lead like a 45 slug the FBI logged in and bullet holes in the Stemmons sign. And there’s a video showing them cleaning up the limo murder scene while still at the hospital, incredible.
You can very clearly see the Stemmons Freeway sign still in place in 1963 and 1964, right here in these exact photographs in this video. It was NOT removed because it "had bullet holes in it."
hebnah- the 63 pic is of a sign further down and clearly 11.27-63 photo its not there w flowers.. I will assume the sign was removed as it was distracting the flowers-- LOL
I've had a life long facination with this man. I would not totally agree that he was a good man. He was deeply complex, staggeringly reckless and also, I'm afraid to say, not that competent. His image was carefully controlled and edited. Whilst I remain convinced his murder, the murder of his brother and that of Martin King were indeed the result of massive conspiracies and by the hands of the same forces, JFK was not as great as we all thought he was.
@@garryharriman7349 Not to argue with you Gary. However if it were not for JFK handling the Cuban missile crisis.........You, I and everyone in this world would not exist......and that's important enough.
I was in 6th grade when the principal announced JFK's death that Friday afternoon. Many students were quite upset and remember the funeral music, tributes and burial that weekend and Monday. When Ruby shot Oswald, my Dad thought it strange that JFK's alleged assassin would him.self be shot and killed in the Dallas police department basement, a sight witnessed by dozens of cops and newsmen. And lots of other unfortunate and weird events have transpired ever since. Former Secret Service agent Landis's revelation that he found a bullet where the back seat of JFK's limo met its trunk seems to sink the magic bullet theory.
1:46 those motorcycle cops had no idea that JFK had just been shot coming up behind them. The cop in the middle is just cruising along with his left hand resting on his thigh.
Yes, it was saved. It stayed on the building till 1979. They used a crane to take it down, it was disassembled and put in storage. The Sixth Floor Museum still has possession of it.
I think the Hertz Rent-A-Car people were actually the ones behind the conspiracy. They knew if Kennedy was killed in that spot, photographs of their sign would be seen all over the world. Think of the free advertising.
Because LBJ and the Dallas Mayor wanted JFK to go thru a sniper "kill box" with 6 shooters in a crossfire pattern........3 at high elevations and 3 at low elevations.........at 2 @Grassy Knoll. 2 @ TSBD Build. 1 @ Dal Tex Build, and 1. @ Dallas Court Records Build.............perfect plan
@@42rufe Aside of the fact Oswald fired on the limo once it turned onto Elm because firing at it when it was still on Houston would have given him less time to take shots and would have made it instantly clear exactly where the shots came from, and aside of the fact all medical, eyewitness, film and computer analysis evidence clearly demonstrates the car was attacked by three shots fired from Oswald's window, I've yet to hear any conspiracy theorist persuasively explain how, if these sinister villains were desperate to make this look like the work of one man (and since the shooters apparently got away scot-free anyway, I don't know why that was so important to them anyway) they were seriously confident they could fire on the victim from six different, almost opposite, directions and plausibly make this look like only one guy was shooting. What on earth are the odds that's going to work out for them? It's silly.
@@aaronz7056 Conspiracy theorists make it mind boggling complex. In reality it was all quite simple ,One man ,one rifle,three shots. It was clearly Oswald all by himself.
@@shernitadee Believe it, you can find photos and film of JFK riding through many cities, surrounded by buildings with open windows all over the place. As for Umbrella Man... that's hilarious. What the heck would an assassin sitting up there need some guy with an umbrella to "signal" him for anyway, it's ridiculous.
I think the last thing he saw was the little dog conspiracy heroine Jean Hill said was sitting in his lap just as he got shot. Maybe the dog was the real assassin.
@@RRaquello It was a bouquet of white flowers. Just seems so odd that at the same exact time the President gets his head blasted, Louis Steven Witt, is exactly right at that spot frantically waving his umbrella up and down the shots were coordinated! He went right back to work, never saying anything to anyone !! His neighbor turned him in, 15 years later, when HSCA posted his picture looking for him!
@@shernitadee Everything seems odd if you're looking for odd things. It's odd that JFK was sitting in the right hand seat and Jackie was sitting in the left hand seat. That made JFK and easier target. Maybe Jackie was in on it too. She had reason to be, the way JFK ran around on her. I also think it's odd that the conspiracy industry put so much stock in a witness that couldn't tell a bunch of flowers from a dog at a distance of ten feet.
Fist size exit right rear of skull per emergency room medical staff at Parkland, an the the Corpsman an mortician at Bethesna, an Oswald had zero parafine any where on his body, he shot nobody!
You can clearly see what happened by paying attention to these photographs. That sign was still in place in 1964, despite the other comments here claiming that it was removed "that afternoon" because it had "bullet holes" - both of which are lies. It, and the other freeway directional signs, had been removed by 1967 because an overhead sign further up Elm Street had replaced them, showing the lanes to be in for various freeways ahead.
To think JFK was just an 18 year old kid when the first pictue was taken in 1935. .Texas School Book Depository already buiilt and waiting for that day 28 years later when his path would cross oswalds. The curvy little arm of Elm St where he died was still under construction in the 1935 photo.
The question is who changed the route and if Oswald was the shooter how did he know the route. The Dallas Morning News on 11-22-63 showed the parade route staying on Main and not going to Elm. This is why there were very few people lining Elm. Did the SS even know about the route change?
@@efudd800 Not easy to determine who changed the route. It could have been very last minute literally. Some witnesses claim the limo made a wide turn on to elm as if they were going to go straight but in the last minute turned. Some claimed it slowed almost to a stop to make the turn. That could be why Zapruders film of the turn is missing. He clearly stated he fimed the turn
I bet they didn't even have an advance party of secret service agents to secure the place a week ahead of the motorcade if so they was in on the assassination or didn't do a very good job Drunk and hungover staying up the 5:00 a.m. in the morning drinking alcohol
I've been to Dealey Plaza several times. When you are there, the first thing that strikes you is how small and compact it is. You are literally at hand's reach of everything there. This Grassy Knoll shooter is total BS. The fence is literally just a few feet (a distance across a short room) from where Zapruder was standing on the concrete pedestal. If there had been a shooter there, everybody, I mean everybody would have seen him. The noise would have been deafening and not some question mark. Oswald killed Kennedy from the 6th floor window. It isn't any more complicated than that. End of story.
I totally agree with you! Many just cannot believe that this man of such status could be killed by a ne'er-do-well such as Oswald who wanted glory for himself...
You are totally right, and when I visited Dealey Plaza in the early 2000s that is exactly the conclusion I also came to. There is no possible way that a man with a gun was shooting from the grassy knoll. This false idea got started from people running in this direction just after they heard the shots, and of course there are photos and movies of this happening. But yeah, it's a very small space, which I had never realized from just looking at photos of it over the years.
I also think so. But it`s still strange, that on the polaroid picture Mary Moorman took, you can see the outline of a man behind the wall at grassy knoll. The picture has been very enlarged at a special point, and it seems like there is a gun flame in front of him. But it is very indistinct. It could all have a natural explanation.
@@trygve45 People really wanted to be able to see a "sniper" in that photo, and worked hard to interpret one in what was actually the totally random patterns of the shrubs.
@@tempebill8183 If he wanted glory why did he deny it? That doesn't make sense. If he did do it let's at least hear some logical motivations to why Oswald wanted Kennedy dead.
It was a CIA setup, they should in hind sight checked the overpass. I keep thinking why didn’t they just take Main Street to the Trade Mart, what a difference it would have made.
Would have had to go over a small curb to do so, but it would have been the correct way to navigate the area for a protective service which wanted their leader to survive. And, as can be seen from multiple overhead photos, there was plenty of space to merge over to the right from Main St to get to the on-ramp. That's why anyone that says the motorcade HAD to take Elm street to get to the Stemmons Freeway is living in fallacy.
Interesting that there were camera crews immediately AFTER the ambush. Why wasn't there ANY during the motorcade? Just film from a bunch of 8 mm home cameras. Even THIS still shot of the cameramen and the guy just casually walking across the street after the assassination. It's like they ALL knew what was happening and then did their " jobs"and apparently the job was not to film anything until after. Only referring to the actual time right AFTER the ambush.
At the time of the shots the limo had left the major crowds behind and was travelling down the plaza where there were comparatively few people. There is nothing sinister here.
@@aaronz7056 you wouldn't even know about the amount of people without the hand held home movies. Do some damn research, if you want to debunk something. Your reply has no validity. They accomplished what they wanted with people like you. Move along, nothing to see here.
@@idfy2599 Do you ever joke about crackpot paranoia? I already explained why there were a limited number of cameras filming the limo at the time of the shots.

@naysayer1238 Yes, I actually imagined that as I looked at the picture. There in the background, probably still on the 6th floor of the TSBD and walking briskly toward the stairs, is the man who just murdered JFK.
I wonder whatever happened to the Stemmons Freeway sign that was so prominent in all of the footage that day. Definitely one of many historical artifacts from 11-22-63.
Removed due to the bullet hole many, many witnesses saw in it.
The Stemmons Freeway sign was taken down and never replaced. Some people have alleged that this sign had bullet holes in it from the assassination and was actually critical crime scene evidence as well as the presidential limo, which was cleaned right away and ordered shipped off by LBJ to Detroit to be completely rebuilt on Monday the 25th of Nov 63. The limo was parked and stored in the WH garage and guarded until it was shipped off. This also destroyed critical assassination evidence. The Warren Commission report ignores certain assassination eyewitness accounts and, in some cases, altered certain eyewitness testimonies. The official autopsy photos of JFK'S head wounds are conflicting with the Parkland Doctors' first descriptions of the head wounds they observed while attending JFK in trauma room #1 immediately after the assassination. This case has way too many unanswered questions and conflicting accounts for this issue to be considered solved. In my opinion, too much time has now passed, and too many people involved have passed away for the truth to ever be known. That is an unfortunate tragedy.
@@martybuster8364 According to the dates in the photo gallery in the video the Stemmons Freeway sign is still up in May of 64 so if it was removed because of bullet holes you would have thought it would have been removed immediately once the investigation started. Unless of course it was replaced with an exact replica of the existing sign. I have also heard what you said about the limousine. How that infamous vehicle was ever put back in service is definitely a head scratcher. I was 9 years old when this happened and have always been fascinated on this event. I have yet to make it out there but one day I hope to visit Dealey Plaza.
As a child in the early 1960's, I had a set of encyclopedias that were my mom's published in 1948. In "D" section describing Dallas, the main image was of the skyline with Dealey Plaza and the Triple Underpass prominently in the foreground. Who knew what it would mean in years to come?
I had a set of World Book encyclopedias that came out at the end of 1962. President Kennedy authored a first-person story in one of the volumes addressing the youth of the nation about the importance of learning. It was amazing to read that. It was illustrated with a big color picture of the President. He lived on.
Thanks for Sharing !
@Brian Arbenz Nobody knows whether JFK actually wrote that World Book article. Ted Sorensen wrote the book Profiles In Courage. JFK is listed as the sole author. Ted Sorensen wrote the inaugural address including “Ask not what your country can do for you . . . .” JFK got credit in Bartlett’s Familiar Quotations.
The video breaks my heart.
Evidentemente, la mayoría de los youtubers de fotos y videos asumen la versión oficial de la muerte de Kennedy.
we dont
Wow- well done !
1:41 shows the limousine traveling at a high speed after Kennedy was shot. Note the man holding a camera recording
This is what happened that morning of November 22, 1963 in Dallas and the Zapruder video speaks very clearly. The presidential limousine takes Elm Street and after a few meters the first shot fired by Nicoletti starts who, together with Rosselli, was hidden in the Dal Tex Building. The first bullet misses its target and hits the sidewalk of the triple railroad crossing at the end of the square and a splinter ends up in the face of James Tague, a passerby who was standing there. The second bullet hits Kennedy in the throat, and as you can see in the footage, the president puts his hands around his neck and Governor Connally turns back to understand what happened. The third bullet misses and ends up on the lawn where it is later found by an FBI man and Deputy Buddy Walthers. The fourth bullet hits Connally who emits a grimace of pain as seen in the video and brings his right hand to his stomach because he accuses an immediate pain and then the bullet pierces his right wrist and plants itself in the thigh of his left leg. The fifth bullet hits Kennedy in the back of the head and the sixth bullet, fired by James Files hiding on the grassy knoll half a second after the fifth shot, shoots both Kennedy's blood and head back, and the brain leaking was due to pressure. Of the sixth bullet that had left an apple-sized hole behind Kennedy's head, as evidenced by photos of 14 people bringing their hands to the same spot on their heads. I say with certainty that the bullets were 6 because it seems that a shot was fired about every three seconds, that is the time to reload the rifle. Returning to Connally, which is the key to clarifying the mystery well, there is a lot to say. 1) First of all, from the angle in which Oswald would have found himself firing, which was about 45 degrees, only Kennedy would have been hit and no one else, the bullet could not in any way make a deviation and then hit the governor. 2) When Kennedy is shot Connally turns around to see what happens and stays there for about three seconds, the time to reload the shot in the rifle; if the governor had been hit by the magic bullet, at the same time as the president, he would have had the same reaction as Kennedy and would have neither the way nor the strength to look back. 3) The governor Connally when he is wounded is still turned and you see a grimace of pain as I mentioned before him and then turn forward again and collapse on his wife's legs. 4) In the video you can see how Connally bumps his head in front of the glass that separates him from the driver's and assistant's seats. 5) Do you know why Connally was hit? Both because Kennedy threw himself on his wife's right shoulder, because bending over did not hinder the trajectory of the fourth bullet that almost grazed him hitting the governor, and because the shot was fired by Nicoletti from the window of the Dal Tex Building and reached the governor, because Kennedy was leaning towards his wife. So, not only does the first misses reveal where the shot really came from, but also what hit Connally. Indisputable and real evidence, but unfortunately denied by many, including the Warren commission which veiled so much evidence.
Missile? You don't know what your talking about
@@roybuckle7576 Sorry, but which missile are you talking about? It's a word that I didn't really mention in the comment.
@@vincenzodangelo127
In your summation after point 5, quote "... not only does the first *missile* reveal ..." a reader with an understanding of language beyond elementary school would recognize your use of the word "missile" in the context you used it as a synonym for "bullet" or "projectile" or even "slug", however in the world of internet trolls like @Roy Buckle who possess a limited grasp of language beyond their crude and pitiful attempts to feign intelligence it often becomes futile to express cogent thoughts written at a level that exceeds the adolescent mentality of people such as the one who questioned your use of the word "missile"
Aside from that , i found every one of your points intriguing especially taking into consideration the possibility of the sound of simultaneous shots being masked in the reverberating echo chamber of Dealy Plaza as well as the possibility of some weapons being affixed with silencers
Thank you for giving time to post your well thought out comment
@@johnny4eel Thank you, imagine, you are very kind indeed. Now he has to correct that word, being Italian I made some translation errors. To hear from us and happy Sunday. 😃😃😃

You are very welcome and please rest assured that even in translation your use of the word missile in that context is appropriate and understandable, even to those with a modest vocabulary
Thank you also for your kind words ✌
You have done it again, Von Pien!
I have stated this before. You can see the yellow strips of paint on the South Curb (the last one) @ 2:29. Again at 2:45 I believe this to be a significant piece of evidence of the Conspiracy. These were visual aides to assist the Shooters with the help of spotters who were on the Knoll and triple overpass using Walkie Talkies..
I have problems of the 11-24-63 pic of stemmns and thornton signs as I thought stemmons was removed fairly quickly as it had bullet holes in it. Can someone tell me when the stemmons sign was removed and where it is now. Maybe the date was changed for photo date.
It was removed later that day
Yes all evidence of a conspiracy was removed especially spent lead like a 45 slug the FBI logged in and bullet holes in the Stemmons sign. And there’s a video showing them cleaning up the limo murder scene while still at the hospital, incredible.
You can very clearly see the Stemmons Freeway sign still in place in 1963 and 1964, right here in these exact photographs in this video. It was NOT removed because it "had bullet holes in it."
I personally did not see it in 1993 and think it was taken down as reported- possibly replaced for a short time if you saw it in 64..
hebnah- the 63 pic is of a sign further down and clearly 11.27-63 photo its not there w flowers.. I will assume the sign was removed as it was distracting the flowers-- LOL
one day ill take a trip down to dallas texas to visit the dealy plaza
1:46 you can make out the time on the HERTZ sign. exactly 12:30
Good eyes on you Mike. The motorcade was supposed to arrive at the Trade Mart at 12:30, but they were 6-8 minutes behind schedule.
Greatings from Germany 🇩🇪. R.I.P. Mr. President! 🥀🥀🥀
Buen video... Música muy apropiada.
JFK was a good man. 👍
You Got That Right. We All Miss Him A Lot.
I've had a life long facination with this man. I would not totally agree that he was a good man. He was deeply complex, staggeringly reckless and also, I'm afraid to say, not that competent. His image was carefully controlled and edited. Whilst I remain convinced his murder, the murder of his brother and that of Martin King were indeed the result of massive conspiracies and by the hands of the same forces, JFK was not as great as we all thought he was.
@@garryharriman7349 so true. Mostly image shaping and the false Camelot narrative.
@@garryharriman7349 Not to argue with you Gary. However if it were not for JFK handling the Cuban missile crisis.........You, I and everyone in this world would not exist......and that's important enough.
Strange how closed the road for a reenactment, but didn't close the road after the shooting, just saying
I have doubts about Dallas P.D. during that day.
Shut up kid get a life
I was in 6th grade when the principal announced JFK's death that Friday afternoon. Many students were quite upset and remember the funeral music, tributes and burial that weekend and Monday. When Ruby shot Oswald, my Dad thought it strange that JFK's alleged assassin would him.self be shot and killed in the Dallas police department basement, a sight witnessed by dozens of cops and newsmen. And lots of other unfortunate and weird events have transpired ever since. Former Secret Service agent Landis's revelation that he found a bullet where the back seat of JFK's limo met its trunk seems to sink the magic bullet theory.
What is the significance of two photos being taken on the day of Ronald Reagan’s funeral? All the way out in California?
Stemmonds freeway sign appears a lot smaller in these photos than the Zapruder film.
😒 🤔 yeah
1:46 those motorcycle cops had no idea that JFK had just been shot coming up behind them. The cop in the middle is just cruising along with his left hand resting on his thigh.
great video.....wondering if the the Hertz sign was saved.....
I don't believe it was. It was removed because it had deteriorated so much,
Yes, it was saved.
It stayed on the building till 1979. They used a crane to take it down, it was disassembled and put in storage. The Sixth Floor Museum still has possession of it.
I think the Hertz Rent-A-Car people were actually the ones behind the conspiracy. They knew if Kennedy was killed in that spot, photographs of their sign would be seen all over the world. Think of the free advertising.
Good times.
GOOD TIMES!
I just thought I would check this out out of curiosity
Rest In Peace Mr. President
Why did the shooting start on Elm Street? The car had nowhere to go once it made the turn. They were a sitting duck.
Because LBJ and the Dallas Mayor wanted JFK to go thru a sniper "kill box" with 6 shooters in a crossfire pattern........3 at high elevations and 3 at low elevations.........at 2 @Grassy Knoll. 2 @ TSBD Build. 1 @ Dal Tex Build, and 1. @ Dallas Court Records Build.............perfect plan
@@42rufe it was an absolutely perfect plan.
@@42rufe Aside of the fact Oswald fired on the limo once it turned onto Elm because firing at it when it was still on Houston would have given him less time to take shots and would have made it instantly clear exactly where the shots came from, and aside of the fact all medical, eyewitness, film and computer analysis evidence clearly demonstrates the car was attacked by three shots fired from Oswald's window, I've yet to hear any conspiracy theorist persuasively explain how, if these sinister villains were desperate to make this look like the work of one man (and since the shooters apparently got away scot-free anyway, I don't know why that was so important to them anyway) they were seriously confident they could fire on the victim from six different, almost opposite, directions and plausibly make this look like only one guy was shooting. What on earth are the odds that's going to work out for them? It's silly.
@@aaronz7056 Conspiracy theorists make it mind boggling complex. In reality it was all quite simple ,One man ,one rifle,three shots. It was clearly Oswald all by himself.
@@shernitadee Believe it, you can find photos and film of JFK riding through many cities, surrounded by buildings with open windows all over the place.
As for Umbrella Man... that's hilarious. What the heck would an assassin sitting up there need some guy with an umbrella to "signal" him for anyway, it's ridiculous.
Was Stemmons freeway sign the last thing that JFK saw?
The message adresse to jfk was ...Keep Right...
The Umbrella Man was the last thing he saw!
I think the last thing he saw was the little dog conspiracy heroine Jean Hill said was sitting in his lap just as he got shot. Maybe the dog was the real assassin.
@@RRaquello It was a bouquet of white flowers. Just seems so odd that at the same exact time the President gets his head blasted, Louis Steven Witt, is exactly right at that spot frantically waving his umbrella up and down the shots were coordinated! He went right back to work, never saying anything to anyone !! His neighbor turned him in, 15 years later, when HSCA posted his picture looking for him!
@@shernitadee Everything seems odd if you're looking for odd things. It's odd that JFK was sitting in the right hand seat and Jackie was sitting in the left hand seat. That made JFK and easier target. Maybe Jackie was in on it too. She had reason to be, the way JFK ran around on her. I also think it's odd that the conspiracy industry put so much stock in a witness that couldn't tell a bunch of flowers from a dog at a distance of ten feet.
Fist size exit right rear of skull per emergency room medical staff at Parkland, an the the Corpsman an mortician at Bethesna, an Oswald had zero parafine any where on his body, he shot nobody!
It looks like little has changes, visually, in the plaza.
nothing bad ever happens to the Kennedy's
maybe the stemmonds sign was replaced for a time and then taken down as it is not there now
THAT SIGN HAD 3 BULLET HOLES..
It was taken down that afternoon.
You can clearly see what happened by paying attention to these photographs. That sign was still in place in 1964, despite the other comments here claiming that it was removed "that afternoon" because it had "bullet holes" - both of which are lies. It, and the other freeway directional signs, had been removed by 1967 because an overhead sign further up Elm Street had replaced them, showing the lanes to be in for various freeways ahead.
@@josed8961 I dunno about 3, but there was atleast 1 and many eyewitnesses have talked about it over the years.
@@josed8961 It didn’t
Ambush of one . Oswald . Terrible place for knoll shooter who didn’t exist .
You're probably the only person commenting here, who believes that nonsense.
To think JFK was just an 18 year old kid when the first pictue was taken in 1935. .Texas School Book Depository already buiilt and waiting for that day 28 years later when his path would cross oswalds. The curvy little arm of Elm St where he died was still under construction in the 1935 photo.
That was the day those shots that effect america
SS who chose the route, really failed picking the route, or succeeded depending on which side he was playing on.
The question is who changed the route and if Oswald was the shooter how did he know the route. The Dallas Morning News on 11-22-63 showed the parade route staying on Main and not going to Elm. This is why there were very few people lining Elm. Did the SS even know about the route change?
@@efudd800 Not easy to determine who changed the route. It could have been very last minute literally. Some witnesses claim the limo made a wide turn on to elm as if they were going to go straight but in the last minute turned. Some claimed it slowed almost to a stop to make the turn. That could be why Zapruders film of the turn is missing. He clearly stated he fimed the turn
@@emmasanders6226 Concur with you Emma. Zapruder's film has been altered to tamp down scrutiny on the limo coming to a stop (or near stop).
@@emmasanders6226There was no route change, period. The limo slowed slightly , but it did not stop. It’s all just part of the nonsense.
@@jetcat132 Clearly you haven't read the witness statements, so I understand why you'd think it was nonsense
I bet they didn't even have an advance party of secret service agents to secure the place a week ahead of the motorcade if so they was in on the assassination or didn't do a very good job
Drunk and hungover staying up the 5:00 a.m. in the morning drinking alcohol
Much better sniper hides than what they claim was used. Multiple shooters.
I've been to Dealey Plaza several times. When you are there, the first thing that strikes you is how small and compact it is. You are literally at hand's reach of everything there. This Grassy Knoll shooter is total BS. The fence is literally just a few feet (a distance across a short room) from where Zapruder was standing on the concrete pedestal. If there had been a shooter there, everybody, I mean everybody would have seen him. The noise would have been deafening and not some question mark. Oswald killed Kennedy from the 6th floor window. It isn't any more complicated than that. End of story.
I totally agree with you! Many just cannot believe that this man of such status could be killed by a ne'er-do-well such as Oswald who wanted glory for himself...
You are totally right, and when I visited Dealey Plaza in the early 2000s that is exactly the conclusion I also came to. There is no possible way that a man with a gun was shooting from the grassy knoll. This false idea got started from people running in this direction just after they heard the shots, and of course there are photos and movies of this happening. But yeah, it's a very small space, which I had never realized from just looking at photos of it over the years.
I also think so. But it`s still strange, that on the polaroid picture Mary Moorman took, you can see the outline of a man behind the wall at grassy knoll. The picture has been very enlarged at a special point, and it seems like there is a gun flame in front of him. But it is very indistinct. It could all have a natural explanation.
@@trygve45 People really wanted to be able to see a "sniper" in that photo, and worked hard to interpret one in what was actually the totally random patterns of the shrubs.
@@tempebill8183 If he wanted glory why did he deny it? That doesn't make sense. If he did do it let's at least hear some logical motivations to why Oswald wanted Kennedy dead.
It was a CIA setup, they should in hind sight checked the overpass. I keep thinking why didn’t they just take Main Street to the Trade Mart, what a difference it would have made.
Would have had to go over a small curb to do so, but it would have been the correct way to navigate the area for a protective service which wanted their leader to survive. And, as can be seen from multiple overhead photos, there was plenty of space to merge over to the right from Main St to get to the on-ramp. That's why anyone that says the motorcade HAD to take Elm street to get to the Stemmons Freeway is living in fallacy.
Interesting that there were camera crews immediately AFTER the ambush. Why wasn't there ANY during the motorcade? Just film from a bunch of 8 mm home cameras. Even THIS still shot of the cameramen and the guy just casually walking across the street after the assassination. It's like they ALL knew what was happening and then did their " jobs"and apparently the job was not to film anything until after. Only referring to the actual time right AFTER the ambush.
At the time of the shots the limo had left the major crowds behind and was travelling down the plaza where there were comparatively few people. There is nothing sinister here.
@@aaronz7056 you wouldn't even know about the amount of people without the hand held home movies.
Do some damn research, if you want to debunk something. Your reply has no validity. They accomplished what they wanted with people like you.
Move along, nothing to see here.
@@idfy2599 You're joking, right?
