I've been egged on to do a separate thread on the Zapruder film. When you go to this site, you will read about the limo stop, which was removed from the final film. Proof that this stop even existed is shown by the forward motions of the first 4 people in the car -- Nellie Connally, Gov. John Connally, and the 2 secret service men in the front, one of whom, Mr. Greer, was driving. That sudden forward movement indicates the driver stepped on the brake.

Nothing was removed from the film kc. Even the JFK CTers were able to debunk that nonsense.
 
Documents?

I don't know what documents you are referring to. The Zapruder evidence is the film itself. There is supposed to be another film that was taken from a similar vantage point. I understand ABC, CBS, NBC and Life magazine have this film.

Not the JFK CTers I know. A private Kennedy Assassination Forum, of which I was a part for years, believes there is another film and that the Z-film was a hoax. They believe the limo stop was taken out. If you watch the footage, you'll see the bodies moving forward simultaneously because the limo had stopped.

Documents unsealed

I know that Jackie Kennedy made an audio tape a few years before she died. It is not to be played until all her children are deceased. Only Caroline is left. I'll never live to see it.

Isn't it strange that this "stop" wasn't recorded by all the other cameras there, and wasn't noticed by any witnesses or by anyone involved?

Strange indeed!

Ugh.

By the way, kc, you didn't include the link to the site you mentioned. Or don't they use links on Planet X?

In the early 1990s, largely as a result of the movie JFK, congress created the Assassination Records Review Board, which was given the task of reviewing all the records available and releasing the ones that don't give away secrets, such as names of agents and spy methods. Pretty much everything is released now. For example, the Operation Northwoods documents that we're so familiar with here were released by the ARRB.

So what are these documents that will be released in 206x i remember
so well from different JFK-docus? (I guess: Christophera-phenomena :D )
 
Is this Zapradur tampering similiar to the Oswald backyard photo tampering? Like some the CT claims that the 9/11 attacks were a conspiracy facilitated by top secret high tech weapons, known only to a few, the JFKers seem to believe that the men behind the Camelot hit had an early prototype of Photoshop way back in 1963.

We had a nun in school who thought Kennedy was great. Then he was killed. At this time, we had an influx of Cuban kids into our school, in West New York, NJ. Every once in awhile, the nun would look at a Cuban kid and say, "Why don't you go back to where you came from?" We kids didn't understand what was going on. She picked on this tall, chubby Cuban kid, God knows why. There were 44 kids in the class. This kid had to go to the closet in back of the room and take out half the coats. If he dropped a coat, he had to put his own coat near the doorway and we were all instructed to "Walk on his coat." So we'd be pulling the coats from his arms and invariably we used his coat as a doormat. It all seemed funny.

After those 4 days in November 1963, my family didn't talk about it. We never talked about it. But it was always there.

Lenny Bruce and Mark Lane began to criticize the Warren Commission. This eventually trickled down to me. There was another killer on the grassy knoll. I began to see photos of Lee Harvey Oswald in Life mag. The "backyard" photos looked just what they were: one man's head stuck on another man's body. I noticed Oswald looked different in some pictures. The man who was shot by Ruby, had a flat head in profile -- weird. But I saw other pictures that really didn't look like him.

This was the beginning of my belief in conspiracy.

What would satisfy me in connection with President Kennedy? If George Herbert Walker Bush was arrested and convicted of involvement in Kennedy's death. If George W. Bush was arrested and convicted in the killing of so many people on 9/11 and bringing about this illegal war with Iraq. Wasn't it a strange coincidence that Bush was visiting England the day the British subway was bombed?

The only thing I can do about it is to educate people, get them thinking. I'm not going to walk around in a circle with a cardboard sign. And I'm not half as knowledgable as Rich DellaRosa of jfkresearch.com. He would put Gravy in his place in no time.

I hope that answers your questions.

Belief, but no evidence required, eh? Sounds like a prerequisite to become a CT.

Read this article. If you want, you can skip about halfway down to the heading "The Assassination Records Review Board."

Rather, the Board's most important task is to decide what should not be opened immediately, doing so in light of the act's powerful admonition that there be clear and convincing evidence in favor of postponement. In simplest terms, the Board has to decide whether materials, if opened, would reveal:

First, the existence of an intelligence agent who currently requires protection;

Second, an intelligence source or method currently being utilized or reasonably expected to be utilized, the disclosure of which would interfere with the conduct of intelligence activities; and

Third, any other matter currently relating to the military defense, intelligence operations, or the conduct of foreign affairs, the disclosure of which would demonstrably impair national security.

The act provides other grounds for postponement. These include exposure of an informant to a substantial risk of harm; exposure of a person to an unwarranted invasion of privacy; the possibility of compromising a relationship between a United States government agent and a confidential source; and the revelation of a security procedure utilized to protect the president.

Thank you for the article, CurtC. This was a very
good one to understand some internal procedures
concerning securty and classifying documents...

It's typical CT thinking: if the photographs don't match the theory, well then the photos must have been tampered with!

Wait and see. In a few years the 9/11 CTers will be claiming the thousands of photos taken on 9/11 and it's aftermath were ALL tampered with by the conspirators. We're already seeing this mentality with the TVfakery gang.

As for the contention that George H.W. Bush was behind the JFK assassation, well that comes straight from Alex Jones bizarroland. Know what their "evidence" is? George and Barbara can't remember what they were doing upon hearing of JFK's assassination! Too bad Johnny Cochran is dead cause the Bushs could sure use him.

There was a memo from Hoover that mentioned "George Bush of the Central Intelligence Agency." The memo is discussing the reaction of the anti-Castro Cuban community in Miami to the assassination. The former president says it was someone else with the same name.

Here is the memo:http://tomflocco.com/Docs/Jfk/PresJfkBush.gif

How do you get the "qimg" tag to work?

It was only a momentary stop, but" ["Crossfire" by Jim Marrs (1989), p. 70; "Murder From Within" by Fred Newcomb & Perry Adams (1974), p. 96] "I believe Kennedy's car came to a full stop after the final shot."

["No More Silence" by Larry Sneed (1998), p. 96];

51) Charles Brehm---"Brehm expressed his opinion that between the first and third shots, the President's car only seemed to move some 10 or 12 feet.

53) Jean Hill---"The motorcade came to almost a halt at the time the shots rang out and I would say it [JFK's limo] was just approximately, if not---it couldn't have been in the same position, I'm sure it wasn't, but just a very, very short distance from where it had been. It [JFK's limo] was just almost stunned." [6 H 208-209; Hill's testimony on this matter was dramatized in the Oliver Stone movie "JFK" (1991): "The driver had stopped-I don't know what was wrong with that driver." See also "JFK: The Book of the Film" (1992), p. 122. Therein is referenced a March 1991 conversation with Jean Hill.];

56) Presidential Aide Ken O'Donnell (rode in the follow-up car)---" If the Secret Service men in the front had reacted quicker to the first two shots at the President's car, if the driver had stepped on the gas before instead of after the fatal third shot was fired, would President Kennedy be alive today? [as quoted in Marrs' "Crossfire", p. 248, based off a passage from O'Donnell & Powers' book "Johnny, We Hardly Knew Ye"] On page 40 of O'Donnell's book "Johnny, We Hardly Knew Ye", the aide reports that "Greer had been remorseful all day, feeling that he could have saved President Kennedy's life by swerving the car or speeding suddenly after the first shots." Indeed, William E. Sale, an airman first class aircraft mechanic assigned to Carswell AFB and who was stationed at Love Field before, during, and after the assassination, stated that "when the agent who was driving JFK's car came back to Air Force One he was as white as a ghost and had to be helped back to the plane *[undated Sale letter, provided to the author by Martin Shackelford];

57) Presidential aide Dave Powers (rode in the follow-up car)---" At that time we were traveling very slowly At about the time of the third shot, the President's car accelerated sharply." [7 H 473-475]. On 11/22/88, Powers was interviewed by CBS' Charles Kuralt. Powers remarked about the remorse Greer felt about not speeding up in time to save JFK"s life and agreed with Kuralt that, if Greer had sped up BEFORE the fatal head shot instead of afterwards, JFK might still be alive today [CBS, 11/22/88---this is a very dramatic and compelling short interview]. If that weren't enough, the ARRB's Tom Samoluk told me that, during the course of an interview he conducted in 1996 in which the Board was in the process of obtaining Powers' film, Powers said that he agreed with my take on the Secret Service!;

58) Texas Senator Ralph Yarborough (rode in LBJ's car)---" When the noise of the shot was heard, the motorcade slowed to what seemed to me a complete stop (though it could have been a near stop) After the third shot was fired, but only after the third shot was fired, the cavalcade speeded up, gained speed rapidly, and roared away to the Parkland Hospital."; " The cars all stopped. I put in there [his affidavit], 'I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings but for the protection of future Presidents, they [the Secret Service] should be trained to take off when a shot is fired." [7 H 439-440; "Crossfire" by Jim Marrs (1989), p. 482; see also "The Men Who Killed Kennedy" 1988: "The Secret Service in the car in front of us kind of casually looked around and were rather slow to react."];

59) First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy (rode in the Presidential limousine)---"We could see a tunnel in front of us. Everything was really slow then [immediately after shooting] And just being down in the car with his head in my lap. And it just seemed an eternity And finally I remember a voice behind me, or something, and then I remember the people in the front seat, or somebody, finally knew something was wrong, and a voice yelling, which must have been Mr. Hill, "Get to the hospital," or maybe it was Mr. Kellerman, in the front seat.We were really slowing turning the corner [Houston&Elm] I remember a sensation of enormous speed, which must have been when we took off those poor men in the front" [5 H 179-181] Mary Gallagher reported in her book: "She mentioned one Secret Service man who had not acted during the crucial moment, and said bitterly to me, 'He might just as well have been Miss Shaw!'" ["My Life With Jacqueline Kennedy" by Mary Barelli Gallagher (1969), p. 342---Secret Service Agent Marty Venker and Jackie biographer C. David Heymann confirm that this unnamed agent was indeed Greer ("Confessions of an Ex-Secret Service Agent", p. 25; "A Woman Called Jackie", p. 401)] Jackie also told Gallagher that "You should get yourself a good driver so that nothing ever happens to you" [Ibid., p. 351] * William Manchester, who interviewed Greer, tells us what the driver told Jackie on 11/22/63 at Parkland Hospital: "Oh, Mrs. Kennedy, oh my God, oh my God. I didn't mean to do it[?!?!], I didn't hear[who, Kellerman?], I should have swerved the car[how about hitting the gas!], I couldn't help it[!]. Oh, Mrs. Kennedy, as soon as I saw it[?] I swerved. If only I'd seen it in time! Oh!" (Manchester, p.290). 59 witnesses (10 police officers, 7 Secret Service agents, 37 spectators, 2 Presidential aides, 1 Senator, Governor Connally, and Jackie Kennedy) and the Zapruder film document Secret Service agent William R. Greer's deceleration of the presidential limousine, as well as his two separate looks back at JFK during the assassination (Greer denied all of this to the Warren Commission-2HGREER[see his entire testimony]). By decelerating from an already slow 11.2 mph, Greer greatly endangered the President's life, and, as even Gerald Posner admitted, Greer contributed greatly to the success of the assassination. When we consider that Greer disobeyed a direct order from his superior, Roy Kellerman, to get out of line BEFORE the fatal shot struck the President's head, it is hard to give Agent Greer the benefit of the doubt. As ASAIC Roy H. Kellerman said: "Greer then looked in the back of the car. Maybe he didn't believe me"("The Death of a President" by William Manchester, p.160). Clearly, Greer was responsible, at fault, and felt remorse. In short, Greer had survivor's guilt

Is this Zapradur tampering similiar to the Oswald backyard photo tampering? Like some the CT claims that the 9/11 attacks were a conspiracy facilitated by top secret high tech weapons, known only to a few, the JFKers seem to believe that the men behind the Camelot hit had an early prototype of Photoshop way back in 1963.

The capability to manipulate photographs was available long before Photoshop. Stalin and the Soviets made extensive use of it having enemies like Trotsky removed from photos.

Oswald claimed that the photo was a fake during questioning before he was killed. The House Select Committee on Assasinations declared it genuine in 1970.

I don't know if the Oswald photos were manipulated or not. However, to say that the technology didn't exist to do so at the time is incorrect.
