President John F. Kennedy's fatal headshot came from the front thereby proving the existence of at least a second gunman, hence a conspiracy. The shot came from the Grassy Knoll in the area of the picket fence, and, like it is stated in the movie "JFK", caused his head to thrust "back and to the left".
The House Select Committee on Assassinations concluded in 1979 that a second gunman fired on Kennedy from behind the Grassy Knoll Fence.
In 1990 I felt so convinced of this that when I discovered that Oliver Stone and Kevin Costner were making a film about this tragic event, I promptly wrote them both and advised them to, above all, include the phrase "back and to the left" in their screenplay. To my delight, they used that phrase around a half-dozen times. (This entire movie is available to watch on the Internet. Simply Google: JFK-the movie/compressed format.)
Another great movie on the JFK conspiracy that is readably available to watch on the internet (YouTube) is called "Executive Action" (1973) starring Burt Lancaster. Be sure to check this out! Just Google it.
The Zapruder film is a hoax. If you have any doubt about this it is probably because you have not read the 500 page book, "The Zapruder Film Hoax", and/or seen the 50 minute video on the Internet called the same. (Just Google... Zapruder Film Hoax.)
The important priority is what needs to be done next in regards to this issue. I have a very powerful idea and I am astonished that so far nobody has done this or even suggested this idea. The main reasons that the Zapruder film was doctored was two-fold: to cover the fact that 25 named witnesses have testified that the president's limo actually came to a complete stop for 3-4 seconds, during which time JFK received the one or two fatal head shots.
Someone should borrow the original Bell and Howell camera that Zapruder used (it is now still on display at the 6th Floor Museum at Dealy Plaza in Dallas) and do the following procedure: Arrange for a car to come down Elm street, or any street for that matter, have it brake or slow to a stop, remain stopped for 3-4 seconds, and then speed up. Then take the out door film and try to duplicate what the SS did on 11-22-63: make the film look like the limo did NOT come to a stop! Perhaps a large digital timer a foot square could be placed on the outside of the right door of the test car to make it easier for the lay public to see how easily this could be done using 1963 technology.
You also have an actor jerk back at frame 313 where on, again, the splatter of blood is sprayed on to a 16>>35mm enlargement.
On frames 314>> a blob of paint is painted on to simulate a head shot from the rear. Of course it would be best to have the test camera-man standing on the same Zapruder pedestal and at the same time of day and on the same day of the year so the lighting would be the closest: 12:20 p.m. 11-22, or a few weeks of equivalant time past the Winter Solstice.
When doing the special effects lab work run two tests: one using outdoor Kodachrome film again, and then use indoor Tri-X Kodachrome to see if the sprocket anomalies on the supposed original Zapruder film can be duplicated.
If the National Archives will not permit an exposed frame be cut from the supposed original Zapruder film, perhaps they will permit a frame from the solid black 4 foot leader be used to test to see if indeed indoor film was used in the hoax version. Let's all keep pressing for the truth!
To attempt to be unbiased I will admit that on the Internet one can find the demonstration wherein a shooter hits a watermelon with the bullet from a rifle and the watermelon jumps back towards the shooter, and he repeats his demonstration. To this I ask... why has not anyone done such a test of a head shot from the FRONT of a simulated human head made out of comparably dense material and weight or even a human cadaver? Then again, the watermelon demo could have used trick photography by simply flipping the watermelon film 180% horizontally at the point of impact. Also, the watermelon probably should have been wrapped in numerous layers of tinfoil to duplicate the density of a human skull. Indeed, even the type of bullet used could cause a different result in such a test. Over forty bullet fragments were found in the X-ray of JFK's posterior skull taken at Parkland Hospital right after he died, thereby confirming the fact that an exploding bullet was also a cause of his head wound... and fired from the front. The supposedly pristine magic bullet which remained in tact has never been purported to have hit his head, and it was not an exploding bullet. Also, the shell casings found on the 6th floor would of had bullets with 4 grooves on the side, yet the magic bullet had 6 grooves! It was magically switched with one with 4 grooves and the original one with 6 has mysteriously vanished!
James Earl FILES claims to have used a special modified mercury tipped 22 caliber bullet for his head shot of JFK from behind the picket fence on the Grassy Knoll and a test for traces of mercury would have confirmed that such a bullet was used. A retired FBI agent had just received judicial permission for JFK's body to be exhumed but died of a heart attack shortly after the decision was rendered, and the petition was dropped. It should be reactivated for a lot could be confirmed: If the neck wound was frontal, then it would have hit the spine and probably lodged therein and verified that it was indeed frontal; the TWO back bullet wound paths could be more clearly verified; the head shot(s) could be more accurately analyzed. Most of the original X-rays and photographs acquired at Parkland hospital within an hour of his death... mysteriously disappeared. A navy intelligence officer who claimed to have copies was mysteriously murdered within a year.
Donated skulls from recently deceased cadavers could also be ethically used. Even skulls used as theatrical props and filled with a comparably dense material would be more scientific than using a watermelon.
(An idea for a horror movie: A wicked cabal obtains power in Texas, including a sympathetic Governor and Mayor of Dallas. Since Texas uses capital punishment more than any other state, and to help determine a final solution to this ballistic dilemma, it is decided that instead of using the electric chair, injections or hanging to put convicts on death row to death, they will use the rifle bullet like they still do in the state of Utah. But instead of using a straight line firing squad, they will have the convict sit in the back seat of a convertible and be driven down Elm Street by remote control, with a rifle shot from the picket fence on the Grassy Knoll, and several other locations, doing justice. In the movie, this will be repeated with each convict's execution until JFK's physiological head trauma is satisfactorily scientifically duplicated... beyond a reasonable doubt. Maybe the movie could be called "CROSSFIRE".)
In Australia an elaborate and expensive test was done using simulated torsos of Kennedy and Connally. This on the Internet to supposedly prove the feasibility of the Magic Bullet Theory. (That entire test could have been fabricated using special effects or outright lies and bullet substitutions.)
But while they were at it, why did they not construct a human head and shoot it from the front, or even the back, for that matter? Were they afraid that such a head would lurch "back and to the left"? Were they trying to cover up the conspiracy theory? Were they complicit? Such a test must be made. I'm convinced that such a dense object will jerk back and to the left especially if an exploding bullet were used. (Deer hunters have declared that every time they have shot a deer in the head... the head always went away from, not towards the path of the rifle bullet.)
Furthermore, a man named James Earl FILES has admitted to shooting JFK from the picket fence on that tragic day. You can watch the 1 1/2 hour interview on the Internet. He was ex-CIA/mafia. He sounds convincing, but then again may have confessed for the notoriety and money from a possible future book after he gets released from federal prison in more than 20 years from a different case.
Also, the 2003 book/audiobook "Blood, Money & Power: How L.B.J. killed J.F.K. by one of President Johnson's main attorneys, Barr McCellan, purports that a second gunman named "Junior" fired the fatal shot from the front and from the picket fence on the Grassy Knoll. These two shooters could have acted independently and have shot at, or nearly at, the same time. The author purports that another shooter and friend named "Wallace" fired the shot that hit Connally and left his finger print on a box on the 6th floor of the Book Depository to substantiate his accusation. Wallace also hired Oswald to use as a patsy and both were on the 6th floor at different windows and both took shots, Oswald hitting Kennedy in his right shoulder blade, Wallace hitting Connally. L.B.J.'s motive would have been that that he was convinced that Kennedy would drop him as his running mate in the coming 1964 election. For months Lyndon had been in the headlines connected to cases involving fraud and murder and he was proving to be an embarrassment and impediment to Kennedy. Simply Google to verify.
(Just a note concerning the rifle discovered on the 6th floor of the Texas School Book Depository: At first it was reported that the rifle found behind a stack of boxes shortly after the murder was a German "Mauser". In fact, reporters on site filmed a senior Dallas police officer holding it up by its strap, and a person present said, "you can see the name "Mauser" printed right there on the side of the weapon". They also found 3 spent rifle casings just below the window on the floor all pointing in the same direction and next to each other. Now that looks suspicious! The cartridges would have bounced to the floor in a random order... not all lined up. Looks to me that they were planted there by someone. Ultimately, authorities settled on the rifle that Oswald obtained by mail-order just a few weeks before: an Italian Manlicher-Carcanno rifle. Why would one be so careless and stupid so as to order a rifle by mail that could be easily traced when one could easily obtain one anonymously, locally by paying cash? Appears that Oswald indeed was a "patsy" like the movies "JFK" and "Executive Action" purport! Also, paraffin tests were done on Oswald's right cheek, etc., and they came up negative thereby proving that he had not recently fired any rifle. And what happened to the Mauser rifle that was initially found? Weeks later,a police officer, Roger Craig, that was present and witnessed the above discoveries, was himself almost shot. Someone fired a rifle at him and just missed his left ear. Weeks later he was injured when his car blew up when he turned on the ignition. Months later, when he was traveling down a mountain road near Dallas, he came around a bend and saw a car parked across the middle of the narrow road blocking both lanes of traffic with two men standing nearby. He tried to drive around it to the right but missed and went down a steep embankment for over a hundred feet and suffered serious injuries requiring a year of hospital visits and surgeries. Even though this officer owned two handguns, his death by rifle shot to the chest in 1975 was ruled a suicide. Really now, if one wanted to commit suicide one would use a handgun not a rifle! Something is very fishy here and doesn't pass the smell test. Since 1963 more than 100 individuals connected to JFK's assassination have either been killed, injured, died from mysterious circumstances, or disappeared. To conclude that this case was a conspiracy and also a comprehensive coverup of that crime by two or more persons... is a no-brainer. The Warren Commission Report was part of that elaborate conspiracy to cover it up. They were too intelligent to have been simply duped.)
At Parkland Hospital, on the Internet one can find that during and shortly after the autopsy of JFK around a dozen doctors and witnesses testified that there was a large wound hole around 3 inches in diameter on the lower-back-right side of his head and that it was an EXIT wound from a bullet shot from his FRONT.
Even the first shot, wherein JFK raises his fists and arms up towards his sternum, was initially regarded as a small bullet sized ENTRY wound 1/2 inch hole from the FRONT into his NECK and several doctors and witnesses testified of that. But why did a surgeon destroy that evidence by enlarging that hole for the tracheotomy and thus making it look like an exit wound? Photographs of that initial small hole mysteriously disappeared and were replaced with the enlarged tracheotomy illustration, thereby changing the official statement that it was now determined to be an exit wound.
Why did the new president, Johnson, order JFK's bloody limo be sent immediately to Minnesota to be cleaned up and repaired, thereby eliminating that crime scene evidence? The shirt and suit coat that verified the location of two bullet holes in his back also disappeared!
One internet source uses the Zapruder film to attempt to refute the "front shot theory" by showing that JFK's head jerked forward a few inches from Frame 312 to Frame 313, the latter of which shows the fatal shot and blood impact spray. (Google: Frame 313/images... to watch this.) Their edition of the film keeps jumping back and forth between these two frames to reinforce that theory.
But I propose that JFK could have been hit in the head a split second from behind before also being hit again from the front. (Several experts agree with this idea.) The video shows the entire car in the initial sequence but then proceeds to unduly focus on those two frames and neglects the evidence of Frames 314 to 333 which dramatically show JFK's head and torso being abruptly thrust "back and to the left". (Ironically, when Life Magazine published the still color photographs of the Zapruder Film in the 12.6.63 issue, it stopped at frame 312 and then just verbally mentioned 313 as the "fatal head shot". What pressures forced them to not show frame 313? Was it the forces who wanted to continue the single gunman myth? Probably "yes" for sure.)
Why would the editors of that Zapruder presentation create such a biased, narrow-minded and simplistic analysis? Only one answer makes the most logical sense. They wanted to help in the cover-up of the theory of a conspiracy and a second gunman and may have been either complicit, or sympathetic with the continuation of the lone-gunman-Oswald myth. (Even CBS news reporter and future anchorman, Dan Rather, reported upon seeing the Zapruder film a few days after the assassination, that Kennedy's head was "thrust violently forward" upon receiving that fatal head shot! What motivated him to so blatantly lie? Was he complicit in the cover-up?)
They probably thought that the longer this myth is reinforced, the less pressure there would be to find the other killer(s), and the more it would substantiate the additional myth that the Secret Service did a loyal and competent job of providing the President with pragmatic protection.
In 1963, and even today, Secret Service protocol demanded that another vehicle would lead the parade caravan to provide added protection. Why was this procedure not followed in Dallas? Why did Kennedy's limo come first thereby making it more vulnerable?
When turning right from Main Street on to North Houston St., why did the Secret Service agent in the car following JFK's limo... signal with his hands for the other two agents who were jogging along each side of JFK's limo, as is proper procedure... to stop and walk back? In video on the Internet, it is easy to see the agent on the right stretch his arms out to his side three times in consternation and bewilderment over the sudden change in orders. Again, this rendered JFK more vulnerable.
Why were the normal contingent of hundreds of Secret Service agents told a days before that they would not be necessary and to "stand down"? They would have checked for open windows at the Depository and vulnerable positions on the Grassy Knoll.
Why were the dozen Dallas police officers all grouped together at the corner of Main and S. Houstan St. rather than being spread out thereby providing security. Because they were told that they would not be needed by their superior!
Why were several supposed Secret Service agents flashing badges on the Knoll and Depository when the person in charge of the Secret Service detail said that all of his few agents were with the parade in motion and none were assigned to either the Depository or the Grassy Knoll areas?
Then, upon turning left on Elm Street and proceeding thereon, why did the motor cycle police not ride along the sides of JFK's limo like they were supposed to... to provide even more protection? Why did they hold back and let the limo proceed on ahead... alone... more vulnerable?
Why were there three yellow stripes of paint two feet long painted on the opposite curb forty feet apart in the kill zone? Were they to help with the timing of the shooters?
When the shots range out, witnesses testified that JFK's limo slowed, and some said... even to a stop. (On the Nix Video, one can even see the limo rear brake lights on at the time of the fatal head shot.) This is probably why the released Zapruder film was doctored through special effects "masking". They wanted to cover the fact that the limo slowed up and came to a stop at the time of the fatal shots. (It's easy to confirm that the background above the limo and distant curb has been enlarged 130%.)
Also, in the left sprocket area of the Zapruder film, the motorcycle cop on the far side of the limo suddenly approaches from the left when the next shots ring out. This is probably caused by the limo slowing down, rather than from the motorcycle speeding up.
The main thing WE THE PEOPLE can learn from this tragic event is the importance of alerting our current leaders to be much more vigilant and less trusting when arranging their own inner circle of security and protection. If another president were to be naive enough to arrange another campaign parade caravan he/she should demand that the bubble-top be left on at all times and that a vehicle in front and behind the presidential limo will be taking videos that cover 360 degrees at all times during said parade route. This way, if such a "hit" is ever attempted again, God forbid, we won't have only one roll of film like Zapruder's, to rely on to understand what really happened.
With today's advance in special effects technology, I plan to organize a skilled group to re-engineer and bring back to life the true perspectives of the original Zapruder film. Only this way can we get closer to the reality of what the "Z" editors were trying to hide after the original was given to the Secret Service and Time-Life Magazine on that fateful day in November 1963.
But the main question is... WHY was Kennedy killed? He had not given the final approval for the Bay of Pigs fiasco. In fact, he was so upset that CIA Director, Allen Dulles, had gone against his orders that he had him and two of his officers fired within a week. Kennedy even threatened to break the CIA into a "thousand pieces" and had already written a memo to the Joint-Chiefs-of-Staff telling them that they were to replace the CIA as the "go-to" military organization for implementing his policies, thereby by-passing the traditionally used CIA. This made the leaders of the CIA furious.
Also, in June 1963 Kennedy wrote his National Security Action Memorandum, (N.S.A.M.), #263 directive that 1000 military advisors were to be removed from Vietnam by the end of Dec. 1963 and that all U.S. military will be withdrawn by the end of Dec. 1965. This threatened the loss of many billions of dollars to, what President Eisenhower courageously called, the "military-industrial-complex", in his final speech to the nation. (Even today, the largest section of our manufacturing base and % of GDP is the production of military weapons for the Pentagon.)
Note: George McBundy, the U.S. National Security Advisor to presidents JFK and LBJ from 1961 to 1966, signed NSAM #273 on 11.21.63 countermanding JFK's Vietnam policy. Why would McBundy have had the audacity to to this if he did not know in advance that Kennedy would not even be president the very next day?!
That policy change resulted in over 56,000 U.S. military deaths in Vietnam and trillions of dollars in monetary profits rewarded to our Pentagon and the military-corporate-congressional-complex.
A great book to read is "CROSSFIRE: THE PLOT THAT KILLED KENNEDY" (1989) by Jim Marrs of Dallas, Texas. This was one of, if not the main book(s) that inspired Oliver Stone to produce his movie "JFK" in 1991. (Was the T.V. political debate show "Crossfire" named that... to either subliminally promote that book or conspiracy theories, or to dilute its impact, or to intimidate or embolden Democrats?)
Every idea, theory, fact and process that I have herewith presented is on the Internet and can be verified by Googling the proper key words.
Much more to follow! Stay tuned! I thank you for your time, concern and patriotism. And God bless America.
