JFK files: zapruder film hiqh quality

Everyone remembers where they were and what they were doing when they heard the news of JFK.

I remember one time we went around the room telling our stories and when it got to my Dad's live in nurse she says..

"I was a waitress in Jack Ruby's night club"

Everyone's mouth dropped open!

True story.

The front of his skull was not blown away. It was the right side. And yes I have seen the "magic bullet and it is not "pristine". It is flattened. The bullet started to tumble end over end after exiting from JFK. The fragments in Connelly were very very small. BTW, did you know that it was a very young Dr Red Duke who assisted in saving the Governor's life?

And Bambino, please don't take my "ignorant " comment personally. I was a bit surprised that the tread starter had never seen the Z film which was released to the public in 1964-65.

Other good books are Case Closed, Mortal Error. Other videos by Dale Meyers are pretty good too.

It took me years to believe that Oswald acted alone. The warren report was incorrect in a few things but they were close. The conspiracist ignore a whole lot of eyewitnesses who looked up and actually saw Oswald shoot 3 shots.

I am open minded enough to hear other theories. Originally Posted by TheDaliLama

It’s a lot no video and both are believable. I lean towards Wecht. There’s also disagreement on RFKs Assassination. Sirhan might not have been the only shooter. The Kennedys had many enemies both in and out of government. IMHO, the same forces wanted them gone. And I don’t take anything serious here. I was just correcting your blanket statement. Dr Wecht is a life long Pittsburgh guy. He’s the most respected opponent of the Warren Commission. I’ve followed his work on this for years. While I’m not an expert on the subject, I’m not ignorant about it either.

That fits the Mortal Error theory that the SS covered up that accidental 3rd shot. By taking the brain they also took the bullet fragments fired from George Hickley's AR15. Originally Posted by TheDaliLama

I don’t think a shot from behind would have produced it. Watch the video of Wecht debating Bugliosi. They get through everything. IMHO, Wecht is more believable. And I don’t take anything personally here. It’s all bullshit. Wecht is a Pittsburgh guy. He’s the most respected opponent of the Warren Commission. I’ve followed his work on this for years.

The very first frame of the third shot his head does go forward. His head was also turned to the left, that is why the exit was from the right. JFK was also wearing a back brace which prevented him from going forward.

The single bullet theory (actually a fact) has been proven to be very possible in other ballistic tests. Originally Posted by TheDaliLama

the second shot (of possibly three) whoever it came from was either accidental by the SS or it was insurance by another shooter not Oswald.

the Author of "Mortal Error" cites Howard Donahue, an expert marksman and was one of the few shooters at the time i think the only shooter who successfully fired 3 rounds from that old ww1 Italian rifle in less than 6 seconds.

so Oswald could have fired three rounds. doesn't mean he did. i think he did fire two rounds, where the shot that hit Kennedy in the head came from and who is the mystery.

Yes, Wecht believes the shot exiting JFKs throat could have killed him, at the very least, caused him to be a quadrapeligic. He doesn’t think that same bullet traveled through Connelly smashing two major bones and came out virtually unblemished. Wecht believes another shooter left no doubt that Kennedy was dead. It wasn’t from behind Kennedy. It’s also a fallacy that the CIA and the FBI barely knew who Oswald was. They shared office space in NOLA years before the assination. Or offices next to each other.

Have you ever been to an FBI Office that was shared with the CIA?

This is getting "interesting"!

Where did the bullet come from that blew off the front right part of his skull come from? The car was moving forward on a downhill grade but his head went back and left? Originally Posted by bambino
That's because the third shot that obliterated Kennedy's head not only came from the front but was a low to high trajectory not a high to low trajectory. It's actually been proven mathematically. The force and angle of that shot is what threw Kennedy back and to the left falling towards his wife. It's really time for people to divorce themselves from this ridiculous government tale of a single gunman and single bullet theory bullshit.

Good grief! Everyone is ignorant about something. It's not derogatory And it's all curable.

I know who he is and followed his opinion as well. Where does Dr Wecht get his info?Watch the Z film. The exit is clearly between the right temple and ear. Not the front.


In Mortal Error, they say the trajectory of the third shot came from a much lower level (the car behind). And as I said earlier, the problem I have is that no one n that car has said anything, otherwise it makes a good argument and more believable than anything coming from the grassy knoll.

I'll stick to one shooter until some one can convince me otherwise.
