Thanks for that information. I'm wondering really about the value of a film taken on a freeway with the limousine coming by at that speed. But the confirmation of the bullet hole would be nice. There is no doubt in my mind that it was through shot based on the various eyewitnesses including the Secret Service agent who saw it on Friday night I believe. Why a shooter would (likely) fire a shot from the South Knoll is beyond me

Haven't heard of this film before. Any idea if it was show and when. Carpenter was on Stemmons driving the same direction toward Parkland? Any additional information would be appreciated.

Well, I saw the interview and at least Rogan brought up the JFK files. I was a bit disappointed with Trump's response, but at least it was briefly discussed. Whether it would be Trump, Biden or Harris as POTUS, what President would have time to go through the files and realize what could be significant or not. One would have to rely on advisors for that information. I appreciated Trump appearing for the interview. And yes, I saw the Harris interview with Bret Baird and will withhold comment on that one....

Hello Ben and thanks for posting the film. Yes, slowing it down to .25 speed helps quite a bit. Of most use I have found are those GIFs that involve a limited number of frames equally maybe a third or 1/2 of a second. I don't have the expertise to isolate frames and create GIFs. In your Connolly scenario, once he has completed the turn to the right, it seems that his back actually then faces his wife. So if that indeed is the case, then where could the shot that struck him in the back possibly have originated from?? it sure would be nice to see GIFs around frames Z295 and Z328...

BC Thanks for your post. I don't have access to a good copy of the Z film and even if I did, I don't have the expertise to slow it down, do gifs etc. I don't know when Connally was struck and it may have been twice. It wasn't by the magic bullet that would push JFK forward and JBC downward. But my first question to you is did not Mrs Connally pull him toward her after he had been struck? If that is so, then it occurred much earlier than Z295. As to the film showing an impact at Z295, I have seen that on a moving film a long time ago and it seems possible. I have also seen frame isolation and gifs around Z328 which is when Thompson postulates the second JFK head shot and a concurrent strike of Connally from presumably a fragment. I thought the video was very convincing. I believe there's also a comment as to a flash on the windshield at Z328 due to a bullet fragment strike. This is all from memory. As to that acoustic evidence, I just don't know what to make of it. McClain says it wasn't him and there's also the issue of the steady motorcycle noise which some have commented is that of a three wheeler.

BC, We do disagree if LHO was on the 6th floor. There were multiple eyewitnesses who saw two men up there. There is no evidence/info that he closely interacted with anyone else during that timeframe. If it was LHO who was encountered on the 3rd or 4th floor coming down, then they have their guy already and the Baker encounter version isn't necessary. I agree some important characters were caught unaware and others knew exactly what to do to start the coverup.

Hi Bill, Although I'm going to be selling or donating my JFKA books, I think this one is worth making an exception for. The other would be Lifton's book if it ever is published. With the Farewell America book, I am curious if the name James Hepburn was ever used or can somehow be tied to the likely real author, maybe Arthur Schlesinger. I am also wondering if Scheslinger left personal papers, if they are available to the public and if anyone has then gone through them. Nick

If the scenario of a fake assassination attempt was really true and Oswald was an FBI and CIA asset/informant, then Oswald would be the perfect character to blame for the real assassination. I suspect he might have been aware of a faked attempt, but maybe not necessarily in the TSBD building. I think he caught on quite quickly and went home to get that pistol and meet at the theater as had been previously agreed upon. This might explain why he also left his wedding ring. I've not read the Farewell America book, possibly written by Arthur Schlesinger, but might try and locate a copy. It appears there were a number of people like Schlesinger and Gary Underhill who knew what really happened. Whatever government element(s) were involved, they certainly had the power to control the location of the autopsy and the doctors who participated and what was...or wasn't... done at the autopsy. This scenario also explains the missing autopsy xrays and photos and why the complete transcript of the AF1 tapes have never surfaced. There is no question in my mind as well that the Z film was manipulated.

Sorry for the late response. I had written something but apparently it did not post. I then went out of town and so I want to catch up with some of these threads. If you have been a proponent of a circa Z190 hit, then what type of injury did JFK suffer at that time? The most logical conclusion I can still draw from the Z film is that JFK is responding to a neck injury as he has abruptly stopped waving and his mouth is quite open when he becomes visible from behind the sign. Dr. Perry had said privately on a number of occasions that it was an entry wound. To be very specific, I believe JFK was hit in the neck between Z186-190 and then struck in the back at Z224. I don't know exactly when Connolly was hit the first time nor how many times he was struck. I suspect he was struck at least twice. JFK being pushed forward at Z224 does not coincide with a back injury to Connolly in which his body is forced downward. That would be one heck of a magic bullet.... There is mention of the trachea being deviated to the left. That would make sense if a projectile of some sort was fired from the right. With all of the unsolvable issues that exist with the JFK assassination, I think the greatest one in my mind is where did the throat shot originate from.....

I read your conclusions/scenario on your website as to what you believe happened. You've done a tremendous amount of research which I very much appreciate. But I quite disagree with your conclusions. The throat wound is clearly an entrance wound. As was stated by CVarnell recently, JFK is starting to react between Z186-190 on the film and his mouth is open and he is clearly in distress when he emerges from behind the sign. The film then immediately shows the impact of the back shot and JFK is pushed forward. It's as if someone pounded a fist below his shoulder blade. There was metallic residue on the back wound clothes, but not on the front shirt and tie. The Getty photo of the shirt shows the hole in the back of the shirt is lower than the hole in the front. JFK was still sitting upright. Weisberg penned a book called Post Mortem. Going from memory, he interviewed Perry in 1966 at Parkland. Perry said it was an entrance wound, that he had wiped blood from the small wound with his finger and saw a ring of bruising which is indicative of an entrance wound. With this information and visual corroboration from the film, it sure looks like what I have described is the most plausible explanation for those wounds.

I had thought that Ruby may have planted a bullet on what was possibly the Ronny Fuller stretcher in the hall. But with the Landis/Kinney claims, I now think there really was a bullet and it wasn't planted as a fake. The question now is if it was a "pointy" slug or really the 6.5 mm one, CE 399. I'm leaning toward the "pointy" slug.

Trump Immediately Hit the Deck -- Why Didn't JFK?
