I can think of several reasons why authority figures in Nov 1963 might want to enlarge & re-copy the Z-film. At the top of my list would be to knock off the screen the SS follow-up car practically riding the bumper of JFK's parade car that disappears early in the film, making it appear that Clint Hill came out of nowhere in the middle of the street to jump on the JFK parade car bumper. In actuality, it was only a few feet of foot travel for Mr. Hill. This was demonstrated repeatedly in the recent 11-22-63 re-enactments. The pattern that runs through all the JFK ambush visuals is the SS car disappears or appears sporadically. Knocking the SS agents & their car out of view enabled the Z-film purchasers to cash in on the film without having to destroy it. I'd put my chips on Zapruder captured the SS car & agents engaged in something that was not to be seen by the public. If it was done, that's where I'd put my guess as to why. Brad Milch

@Robert Prudhomme: I located S.M. Holland's remarks to Mark Lane concerning how he saw JFK fall inside his parade car with his foot sticking out over the side of it in the uncut version of Mark Lane's film documentary entitled 'Rush To Judgement' (1966) starting at 21 minutes into the documentary. Lane was asking Holland if he agreed with the WC that one bullet had struck JFK & then passed through JFK's neck to go on to strike JBC. Holland did not agree with the WC's assessment & explains why to Mark Lane at this point in the film. Holland told Lane that JFK (when shot in the head)...'I saw the effect of the next (last) bullet that hit the President, because, it flipped him (JFK) over...almost on his stomach...and the side of his head..and his head was laying on the edge of his seat. He was laying more on his stomach....and his foot was hanging out...over the edge of the car, upside down. I was in error stating Holland identified a left foot hanging out over the edge of the car. My sincere apologies. My memory sometimes is shot (old age). BM

@'Hi Brad Do you know which interview it was where Holland stated that he saw JFK's left foot sticking out of the limo as the limo passed under the Triple Underpass? The reason I ask is this would seem to contradict what Holland stated in his WC testimony:' Howdy, Bob. I recall Holland being in Mark Lane's film interviews from Rush To Judgement (circa 1966-1967), in Josiah Thompson's 1967 blockbuster book, 'Six Seconds In Dallas' & CBS News interviewing him for their 4-part Warren Report support TV special that ran consecutive nights back in 1967. It will be in one of those 3 interviews. Before I go dig that media out of the jungle of my personal JFK collection, I'm leaning towards the Mark Lane filmed interview, but I could be wrong. I'll get back to you with a definitive answer. Holland was pretty disgusted with the WC's handling of his testimony. Holland sent corrections to it to the WC (marked in red) that the WC never corrected his published testimony with (according to what he told Thompson or Lane). BTW, did you see that monster of a weapon the Baton Rouge police sniper used against his victims last week? I had no idea such a Star Wars looking weapon even existed, much less was in the hands of non-military or non-police. A scary looking weapon like that in the hands of a lunatic kinda takes the fun out of going cruising these days, doesn't it? Best always to you, Robert BM

FWIW, S.M. Holland, signal supervisor for the Union Terminal railroad was watching the scene captured in the Z-film from a short elevation directly over the Presidential car & he stated in interviews that JFK fell over the back seat on his stomach with his left foot hanging out of the car before the JFK parade car went into the 'tunnel' of Elm Street at the triple underpass/overpass. If correct, some of the image we are analyzing would have to include a portion of JFK's foot. I believe it was David Lifton who first reported that JFK appeared at autopsy with his left arm extended (as if in a 'Heil Hitler' salute) that was broken out of this contorted, grotesque posture by the autopsy doctors at Bethesda. OTOH, elevating a person's head suffering from a head wound would have been proper emergency first aid in 1963. I can remember a life guard walking me around the pool someone shoved me from behind into for quite some time as panic situation first aid, after the unexpected shove caused a small head gash & nose bleed. I was forbidden by the lifeguard from reclining in a pool chair for fear of me falling asleep and not waking up. The only 'towels' the parade car contained that I am aware of were Presidential ornamental hand/lap towels that can be seen hanging in a multitude of pre-motorcade and motorcade photos. I'm not sure if Jackie used them or not to smother her husband's bleeding. If I recall correctly, the Presidential hand towels were still in place in the White House garage photos taken by the FBI the night of the assassination. I'm not aware of the two front seat SS agents stripping off their coats to help control the wounded passengers bleeding either. Brad Milch

@Ron: Take away from the Dallas police narrative the robot & substitute it with a self-detonated (or cellphone detonated) explosive vest/belt & you have the appearance of an ISIS attack on American soil, real or falsely portrayed by non-ISIS actors. Radical Islamists have been bragging since 9-11 that they have 'sleeper' operatives blended deep inside the USA. A particularly big fingerprint their demented operation usually leaves behind most attacks is the curious habit of operatives blowing themselves up (supposedly to be rewarded in Heaven), thus punishing themselves & robbing the democratic system of justice of appropriate punishment. Also robbed are LEO attempting of learning the Chain of Command for each attack, who is paying for it and other logistical issues that could help investigators prevent future attacks in time to save lives. Those that were alive when JFK was unexpectedly ambushed & murdered will recall the appearance of a Cuban/Soviet attack, particularly when LHO was shown on TV sets passing out his 'Hands Off Cuba' leaflets in New Orleans & his Soviet defection was revealed. Fear that the USA was about to be sucked into WWIII shot around the planet like a global wildfire out of control. It should be obvious to many that the global population is being 'played' with some, if not all of the recent mass shootings around the USA. It kinda reminds me of the jerk that painfully thumped the back of one's ear in a crowded school hallway or assembly back in our past school days. No matter how much one looked around attempting to locate the perpetrator, one knew the jerk was nearby, waiting for the right moment to strike again. The easiest way to deal with this recent Dallas situation is to swallow the kool aid that was poured out to the global public by LEO following the incident, just as it was following JFK's ambush & death 53 years ago: accept the LEO (Law Enforcement Official/Operative) narrative & let it go. In this forum, this is known as the LN approach & solution. Unfortunately, the majority of humans will look deeper. Our Creator programmed most of us that way. LN'ers are the exception. Brad

In my websites & blogs surfing (after this story broke), I noticed similar thought processes originating from people all over the world being posted on the Internet that fell into 4 basic categories: 1. The ambush was a false flag to divert media attention away from Hillary getting off the hook from the FBI &Justice Department for her email scandal, the Black Lives Matter movement (or both). 2. ISIS attack from inside the USA. Story changed from triangulated, elevated gunfire to a modern day LHO so as not to alarm the American & global public. (some believe ISIS is really the CIA). 3. GOP & Democratic operatives stunt to give ammo to both Trump & Clinton to expose the weaknesses of their POTUS opponent. A few more poker chips for both Presidential hopefuls to play against the other (so to speak). 4. Misc. Blue Meanies. This is a wide range of bad guys that stretches from the multi-billionaire Arabs controlling the Arab oil, Putin, Syria, Iran, China, North Korea, etc. as being responsible for the ambush in Dallas. Why Dallas? More than a handful of commenters stated the same entity that crippled & killed JFK's Administration did this. A sinister wink to everyone paying attention that those 1963 bad guys are still in the saddle (so to speak). I haven't gotten into YouTube to check out Alex Jones' take on the sordid Dallas events just yet. I expect they will be colorful. In the last video of his I watched, Alex was predicting an upcoming race war in the USA with Obama ordering martial law across the land & the cancellation of the upcoming Presidential election. It will probably be along those lines. For those who don't know what to make of it all, the recorded gunfire does remind one of Dealey Plaza 53 years ago & gives a hint to those who weren't there to what that gunfire may have sounded like when JFK was ambushed & murdered. I wonder what the living witnesses that were there have to say about it. Maybe we'll hear from some of them. BM P.S. For those who enjoy tracking MSM crisis reporting performance, Fox News' super gorgeous Megyn Kelly began commenting on a live feed from Dallas in the closing minutes of her newscast (The Kelly File). Megyn wasn't quite sure what she & her viewers were seeing on TV, but she did comment that the images were disturbing & looked like something really bad was happening in Dallas. Two police casualties briefly were seen. Fox dropped 'Hannity' at the close of 'The Kelly File' & stayed with its Dallas feed. After checking back & forth between Fox News & CNN for close to a half hour, CNN was finally on the story about a half hour after Fox ran with it. Just giving credit where it's due...

It's good that the global public focuses an informed eye on 'LHO was a lone wolf' proponents when exposing themselves to their snake oil. Myers & Russo will forever exist in the hall of shame for their collective efforts to steer blame for LHO's known actions prior to 11-22-63 away from the US government of that period. Myers historically inaccurate & dishonest 'Peter Jennings cartoon' alone earns him eternal perdition when considering Myers has had over a decade to fix the cartoon, include the actors that were present during the ambush of JFK (his guards & their transport vehicle tailgating the doomed President) that Myers omitted in his much MSM publicized original & make it right. For those who feel Myers is sponsored by our favorite drone attack agency, his public battle with another supposedly 'sponsored' operative (Max Holland) is really weird if the same entity is greasing the wallets of both. I expect Myers to make his peace with Bugliosi when both attempt to convince our Creator He doesn't exist at their respective Judgements. The money both made on earth selling snake oil stays here with the snakes it originated from. Snake oil salesmen are unemployed in the Heavens. Dan Rather is living proof the Dark Syde pays extremely well. The last Google net worth check told me Deadpan Dan lives comfortably with 70 million to his name. That's good for steak, lobster & caviar each day for the remainder of his earthly days with plenty of chump change to spare. Not bad for little big lies. BM

More great work from you, James! I wonder how much sleep Meyers, Russo & their cheerleaders lose with each expose you publish. Both are looking mighty grey these days (lol). Sleep loss will do that. It's sad that we lost Mark Lane this year before stunning political accusations & state police procedures revelations have had time to sink in & be investigated. I would love to have heard Mark's take on Trump's accusations that our current POTUS & the Clintons are in the deep pockets of Arab terrorist sponsoring countries & Oklahoma state & city police scanning citizens debit, regular & prepaid credit cards & sometimes seizing & asking the Courts for forfeiture (supposedly to catch drug dealers & ISIS moving money around to pay for on US soil attacks). There are still some who believe LHO had a Swiss bank account set up for him by his handlers to pay for his role in the mysterious demise of JFK. I'll bet Mark Lane would have had a lot to say about today's events in relation & comparison to 1963. As George Harrison once said in one of his Beatles songs, "the farther one travels, the less one goes". Brad Milch

It takes money to pull off what King & Stone did. Serious money. Seems to me those that hate the U.S. the most & really want to disrupt the status quo badly simply need to finance anti-King, anti-Posner, anti-Bugliosi visual endeavors. I expect financial backing contact to distinguished JFK authors & researchers to be made in the future via the Education Forum. Everyone should know by now that this is the place the great artists hang out. This is where the fresh coats of paint are. I'd like to see where the road traveled takes Mr. Oswald from this point on. As I remember, the elders that put me in this world & were instructing me felt LHO was some sort of Soviet, Cuban or US spy (or all 3). LHO's mother felt Uncle Sam was pulling her 24 year old son's strings. Here we are 53 years later & the collective efforts of LN'ers have failed. Where do we take it from here? Brad Milch

Mr. King simply hired the wrong people to assist him, James. He should have put YOU in control of production. Then he would have had a TV blockbuster. Just sayin' BM

I certainly hope Stephen King doesn't plan on milking 11-22-63 for another season or more unless he intends to bring to life some of the many mysteries of LHO he didn't approach in his TV mini-series. 1963 was a busy year for LHO. He was all over doing all sorts of strange things. Handing out Cuba leaflets in New Orleans (with or without the help of Ted Cruz's dad {lol}), hitting Sylvia Odio up for anti-Castro operational funds, meeting with David Atlee Phillips, looking at cars to buy, tearing up rifle ranges, casing Gen Walker's house, using a public bus to transport his 'magic rifle' to near Gen Walker's home, being interviewed on New Orleans radio & TV, hanging out with Guy Banister, living apart from Marina (apparently LHO's brother Robert was either taking advantage of this situation or thinking about it) etc., etc. Lots of opportunities for a stray rifle to get into non-LHO hands. Let's not forget about LHO in/not in Mexico City while an imposter is running around phoning embassies & getting his photos snapped. More LHO material Mr. King did not explore. Mr. King avoided showing us just how LHO received a rifle package at his Dallas Post Office that wasn't addressed to LHO in the first place, nor did he show us visually just how LHO took off from work while still on the job, purchased & mailed the money orders required to receive the 'Magic Rifle'? For Mr. King, those pesky details don't matter; what does matter is that King shows us LHO WITH the 'Magic Rifle'. This, in essence, is tooth fairy logic: 'Mama says the Tooth Fairy left the money under one's pillow. You didn't see otherwise. The bad tooth is gone, therefore the Tooth Fairy took it & left the money in its place'. That logic won't get Mr. King very far with me: my hands automatically go into 'guard wallet' mode when some huckster plays that game on me. If Mr. King can't find material for a time traveler to explore in all that, he's in the wrong career field IMHO. I, for one, would love to see a visual portrayal of how LHO snuck a rifle past a Dallas bus driver & all the passengers twice, when LHO allegedly boarded the bus with it & again when he departed. No one in Dallas noticed him walking around with a covered object resembling a rifle? Give us a break, please! Spinmasters have had 53 years to paint LHO as Mr. Magic Man. He did invisible things. He was in multiple places at the same time & didn't even own a car. He had a wealthy friend & only 13 bucks & some change when Dallas police arrested him Nov 22, 1963. He got behind & out of the Iron Curtain during the height of the Cold War. He hung out with guys like Clay Shaw, Guy Banister & David Atlee Phillips. With an old, clunk WWII relic carbine, LHO becomes Rambo. The BS never ends. I'd like to see spinmasters drop that 'Magic Man' garbage & get real with us just once. If J. Edgar Hoover could find LHO interesting enough to send out warnings that LHO's SSAN might be being used by imposters abroad, why can't Stephen King? When my Jr. High school was de-segregated in late 1965/1966, I vividly remember an argument between some black students & white Beatles fans over the songs 'Day Tripper' & 'My Girl'. The blacks felt the Beatles ripped the lead guitar melody off from the Temptations. The Temptations had put their song out long before the Beatles released 'Day Tripper'. I would expect a scene like that visualized if a time traveler was going back in time & looking at the lives of John Lennon or David Ruffin. It wouldn't require all that much homework, Mr. King. Just a little imagination. Brad Milch

I agree, James. This TV production was really bad. When I think of all the opportunities open to Mr. King to explore that he let slip through his fingers (like LHO allegedly purchasing & mailing the money order for the rifle from Kleins he didn't receive or his bus adventure while allegedly transporting the attempted murder weapon intended for Gen. Walker), I get really disgusted with Hollywood & its' TV clones. For all the mega bucks the industry rakes in, the mansions, the glamorous lifestyles, I expect better (for some reason). Your review of that entire mess was really good. It reminded me of the old 'Clift Notes' that saved many a struggling college student trying to avoid the misery of reading junk material forced on them by their sadistic professors. Best always, Brad Milch

Wherever Mark Lane's spirit is at the moment, he now has all the answers to what happened to President Kennedy, DPD Officer Tippit, Lee Harvey Oswald, who orchestrated it & which of the two radically different spiritual afterlife residences (one or the other of which await us all after our time on Earth passes) the victims & perpetrator(s) reside forever. In many ways, I envy him at this moment, even though whatever Mark Lane experienced in death hasn't happened to me just yet. In time, I'll get there too, experience death & share in the knowledge he has now. Eventually we all will. For the benefit of those Education Forum members & visitors not as old as I am, I can give some personal insight of what it was like to save up school lunch or paper route money, buy Mr. Lane's 1966 blockbuster book, 'Rush To Judgement' and the reception they probably would have received had they stood up in front of their class & given a book report on it in late 1966 or 1967, following the release of Life magazines' monumental issue 'A Matter Of Reasonable Doubt', the four 1967 CBS TV Specials defending the WC and the equally spectacular books, 'Six Seconds In Dallas' by Josiah Thompson and 'Accessories After The Fact' by Sylvia Meager. Mr. Lane was like the 1st man on the moon when compared to the others. As distinguished JFK researcher/author/speaker David Lifton instructs us in his 2013 Bismarck College speech & lecture (posted at YouTube), Mark Lane, like most good Defense attorneys, presented his work to the global public as Reality #2. Each & every bit of evidence presented as proof the accused is guilty of a crime in Reality #1 is scrutinized, re-analyzed & offered to the jury (global public) as proof doubt exists in the evidence, the Prosecutor's theory & it's possible the accused is not guilty of the crime as charged. Sometimes, those law enforcement officials that collected & initially analyzed the evidence against the accused are alleged to be the real perpetrators of crime as argued by the accused's Defense. Reality #1 consists of a Prosecutor's viewpoint: evidence against the accused is unimpeachable, no fraud exists in it or the conduct of investigators that collected & analyzed it and it collectively leads to the inescapable conclusion that the accused is obviously guilty of the crime as charged & deserving of the punishment assessed by the jury or judge. Examples within the pages of the Education Forum's JFK debate of researchers that adhere to Reality #1 would include posts authored by David Von Pein. Outside the forum, examples would include the late Vincent Bugliosi, Gerald Posner & John McAdams. Education Forum member distinguished, respected researchers like Pat Speer & James DiEugenio adhere to Reality #2. I can't count the times I've read their exposes & analysis & felt sick to my stomach in that the system failed to correct the issues those respected researchers have found wrong in the history of the JFK assassination. Why wasn't Lyndon Johnson or J. Edgar Hoover (among others) arrested & held accountable? How could so many 'high crimes & misdemeanors' slip past so many Senators, Congressmen & MSM news editors back then in the days closer to when the murder of JFK happened? A simple illustration of the two radically different realities can be found in most trials. In the OJ murder trial, Reality #1 was the allegations that OJ savagely murdered his former wife & her Good Samaritan friend. Reality #2 was the 'Dream Team's' allegations that the LAPD introduced fraud in the evidence, indicating OJ was a patsy. The suspect evidence indicated someone else had killed those two unfortunate victims. The jury bought into Reality #2 & acquitted OJ. He walked out of the trial a free, unconvicted man. The jury bought into Reality #2 in the Casey Anthony trial. Like OJ before her, Ms. Anthony walked out of what many considered a 'slam dunk' trial a free, unconvicted woman. In late 1966/1967, a high school student that stood up in front of their class (trying not to be distracted by the sea of mini-skirts in front of them) & gave a 'faithful to the author' book report on Mark Lane's 'Rush To Judgement' would probably have incurred the disgust & wrath of their teacher & school officials higher up the school administration food chain they soon would be visiting & meeting. They probably would have been held after class or school & repeatedly lectured on the evils of spreading 'communist propaganda' & unpatriotism. For males, harassment might ensue (like unexpectedly being yanked out of class & sent home to get an 'acceptable' haircut or placed in ROTC classes). School work might be graded harsher. To suggest elements in the government at that period of time were criminals that the built-in 'check & balance' system written into the Constitution failed to identify, punish & replace went against the grain of everything the school system stood for. What I've briefly described would intensify for several years until things dramatically changed after Watergate & Richard Nixon became the 1st President to resign. Mark Lane leaves us a legacy of a Truth Seeker of the highest order. Many of the issues he presented to the public in the suspicious murder of President Kennedy have yet to be universally resolved. Biblical Truth Seekers that immediately come to my mind include Moses, Jesus & John The Baptist. Two of them would be murdered by members of their peers for their efforts on Earth. I believe Mark Lane to be in the company of all 3. To finish life in their esteemed company is as good as it can get IMHO. R.I.P. Mark Lane. My heartfelt condolences to his family for their enormous loss. Brad Milch

There's Kathleen!!! Hi again, lady. May I add a few comments below your parking spot on this thread concerning the Zapruder & other amateur ambush films & still (static) photos Time-Life flashed their big bucks & got their hands on (before other means introduced those films to the public) that a lot of visual specialists now believe have been altered in some way, shape or form & how that alleged alteration took place? I'll toss in a few thoughts about collectors (of all kinds of things) that sometimes die unexpectedly & permit an escape route for what they were hoarding in life that allowed public access, offer Pamela some more speculative possibilities on what may have been transpiring behind the scenes that led to her viewing of the original, unaltered z-film she tells us she saw at a movie theatre in 1964, plus whatever other good stuff may pop into my head along the way (I'm listing all these good things in advance because I forget things easily as the end of my runway approaches, Kathleen). As John Lennon might promise, 'A Splendid Time Is Guaranteed For All' (well....maybe, hopefully).... First & foremost, a tip of the hat & a salute to the two ladies this thread is fortunate to have visited it so far. A lot of men may not realize it, but not only did a woman suffer unimaginable pain to place them here on Earth, in almost all cases men's survival in life depends on the guidance & help they received from women. In the Animal Kingdom, the survival of the lion pride depends on the hunting skills of the lionesses in that pride that do most, if not all the hunting. They have to be good; if they don't catch prey, the pride doesn't eat. To top that off, the lionesses also raise the cubs & tolerate the lion when he's in a mood to rhumba. It's not easy being a lioness. If the pride had to depend on the King of the Jungle to feed them, the pride most likely would starve. Those that watch a lot of nature shows on TV or computer screens will note that at times, the lioness will beat the daylights out of her lion, sometimes driving him away from the pride & daring him to return to it. This happens in the human species too. Women sometimes call the police on their mates & insist they make them leave their home. All I will comment about this is that often both (male lions & male humans) did something to incur the wrath, fear or disgust of their mates. Then again, several things might be agitating a female lion or a female human. The lioness may simply want a new lion. Maybe the old lion she has sleeps too much. Something like that. Smart men (like smart lions) will quietly leave & not fight with their mates. She usually (but not always) cools off in time. Note: This isn't 'playing the woman card'; this is giving credit to where it is due. It was a woman who first shaped my personal views of JFK's suspicious demise. She was my 5th grade teacher, Mrs. Rodgers. Some time in the past I took David Von Pein back in time in other threads to sit in Mrs. Rodgers' class with me to hear some of what she told us immediately after President Kennedy was ambushed & killed in Dallas and each school day that followed in the weeks & months after the assassination (I have no doubt Mr. Von Pein did not appreciate this trip to the past, but I took him back there anyway to give him a taste of what I experienced in Mrs. Rodgers class...). If the JFK assassination, something she felt was 'fishy', wasn't enough stress for Mrs. Rodgers to handle with a room full of adolescents wondering just what was going on in the adult world with all these shootings & murders in Dallas, the Beatles got dropped into her lap just a couple months later. Now, she had small transistor radios playing Beatle songs in her class & kids not wanting to cut their hair to deal with.....lots of hands being spanked by her ruler & radios being confiscated too. Life wasn't easy for Mrs. Rodgers. Like the ocean, the subject of the JFK assassination visuals record is a deep subject that takes a long time to reach the bottom of, particularly when considering areas that many believe contain photographic fraud. Fortunately, the Education Forum has some distinguished visuals experts as members (David Healy, David Lifton, Robin Unger being among others) that can add their expertise to anything I may get incorrect in what I am about to comment on in this thread, which is primarily from what I remember seeing around the time the visual was initially released to the public. In addition to notable JFK visuals experts that are EF members or visitors, those interested in the subject are encouraged to refer to some books many consider 'definitive' (such as Richard B. Trask's 1994 book, 'Pictures Of The Pain' or his 1996 book, 'Photographic Memory'), magnificent visuals websites such as those belonging to Pat Speer & David Von Pein & other online resources, such as Mary Ferrell Foundation & The Sixth Floor Museum. From what I remember & a quick comment before I start: Education Forum member Douglas Caddy posted a link to a YouTube video not long ago that I checked out & downloaded. I was surprised to see a brief scene in the collection of JFK pre & post ambush films of a man stretched across the back seat of JFK's limo. The limo appears to be traveling fast towards its destination. If this is a scene of Clint Hill guarding the bodies of JFK & Jackie, it is the only video that I know of that depicts JFK & entourage enroute to Parkland other than the Jack Daniel film the HSCA located in the late 1970's before it disbanded. Email inquiries to the film company that posted the video asking for info on the source have not been responded to so far. What is lost today when one uses the Internet to locate JFK ambush visuals is that most of those visuals were not available to the public immediately following the assassination of JFK. Initially, very little of the visual evidence investigators & news editors were seeing behind closed doors was released to the public in a timely manner. I can still recall what I remember seeing published in newspapers & magazines post-assassination: (note: Researcher & author Pat Speer has a magnificent collection of these visuals assembled in a time-line type display as they were initially released at www.patspeer.com within the chapters he authored & posted online). At first it was some of the James 'Ike' Altgens photos, the Miller photo (aka the 'Corham photo), the Mary Moorman photo & just a couple more that appeared on TV or in newspapers. That was primarily all there initially was. Other early photos consisted primarily of JFK's limo briefly parked at Parkland hospital, Tom Dillard's series of photos & the series of Zapruder frames released to newspapers & appearing in early issues of Life Magazine, Time or Newsweek. A few frames from the Orville Nix film appeared in the 1964 book 'Four Days' (I believe some Marie Muchmore frames might have been included as well, correct me if I am wrong, please). Films shown to the public besides JFK's arrival at Love Field consisted primarily of NBC cameraman Dave Wiegman, WFAA-TV cameraman Malcolm Couch, WBAP-TV cameraman James Darnell (occupants of one or another of the 3 motorcade camera cars approaching the TSBD on Houston Street during the ambush). Bob Jackson & Presidential aid Dave Powers had both run out of film when the shooting began. Dave Wiegman's film held a clue that sharp eyed visuals analysts noticed many years later suggesting that film had been edited. More on that a bit later... Some select Orville Nix, Marie Muchmore & Abraham Zapruder frames as well as Phil Willis slides & Robert Croft photos were published in the WC volumes in Sept 1964. The quality of much of this visual material left a lot to be desired, to put it mildly. For those following researcher & author James DiEugenio's exposes on CBS TV specials cover-ups here at the Education Forum & CTKA (plus associated links), neither CBS nor NBC released much, if anything, of JFK ambush visuals to the public after films that ran the assassination weekend. The Dave Wiegman film caught a couple frames of JFK's parade car rounding the corner at the same time Zapruder & Sitzman are missing from their filming pedestal in front of the Western shelter (Cupola) of the North Pergola (more on this when I get to the alterations allegations segment) A portion of the joint SS/FBI filmed ambush re-enactments made its debut on the 1st CBS TV special report in late Sept 1964. The re-enactments all excluded the SS follow-up car & occupant stand-ins for them. In late 1966, public attention exploded to & on Life magazine's 'A Matter Of Reasonable Doubt' issue that challenged the WC's single bullet theory & called for a new investigation into the murder of President Kennedy. That issue was everywhere. It had to have been a blockbuster money maker for Time-Life Before the dust settled & just around the corner, several things were about to happen in 1967: Josiah Thompson, former Yale professor & member of Life's team that created the 'A Matter Of Reasonable Doubt' issue, would release his blockbuster book, 'Six Seconds In Dallas', Sylvia Meager would release 'Accessories After The Fact', Henry Luce, owner of Life Magazine, would pass away on Feb 28, 1967. A quick visit to Wikipedia will detail what Henry Luce, C.D. Jackson (the man in charge of the Zapruder film purchase & CIA/Henry Luce go between) & their association with the CIA was about. Life magazine would release another issue in 1967 that introduced the public to frames taken from amateur film makers in Dealey Plaza during & after the ambush: Robert Hughes, Tina Towner & Jim Towner, F.M. 'Mark' Bell, Elsie Dorman & Patsy Paschall plus still photos from Wilma Bond. Keep in mind that most, if not all of this 'new' photographic record slipped right past the WC, the Presidential Commission created by LBJ to gather & analyze all the available evidence in the JFK case. All of this missed photo evidence screams loudly today just how sloppy a job the WC did back in 1964. CBS responded to this interest & assault on the W.C. by conducting another CBS Special TV Report that ran for 4 consecutive nights that researcher & author James DiEugenio is currently exposing as rigged, deceptive & deceitful in another thread here at the Education Forum. Coming up: ''Did Time-Life create the birth of the CT'er movement in 1966?' plus 'Who is the father of the Zapruder film alteration allegations?' Over the years there's been hundred of thousands of words over the subject of the Zapruder film being a victim of tampering or not. Opinions vary as to who started this train of thought in the first place. Some may give the credit to famed researcher & author Mark Lane who brought attention to the splices in the z-film visible in the black & white frames published by the WC in Sept 1964 in his best selling book 'Rush To Judgement'. I'm going to assign the credit to another famed researcher & author: David Lifton & his 1981 blockbuster book, 'Best Evidence'. Those that do not agree with my assessment can comment on it in their own comments in this or other threads if they so desire. For me, Mr. Lifton was the original grand analyst. One can trace the initial discussion of z-film alteration in depth back to Mr. Lifton in his 1981 book, 'Best Evidence'. The subject was not discussed in the late '70's TV special series, 'The Men Who Killed Kennedy', 1988's PBS Walter Cronkite narrated, 'Who Shot JFK', the early '90's monumental film 'JFK', or the CBS 1992 TV special (featuring Deadpan Dan Rather once again) attempting to debunk the film, 'JFK'. Online comments & debates over Z-film alteration allegations eventually would make their way to the defunct JFK Lancer Forum (currently being rebuilt), here to the Education Forum and beyond to Mr. Doug Horne expanding on the subject in his book series, 'Inside The ARRB'. It was those comments & debates that led me to the Education Forum & occasional visits to the Lancer Forum in the first place. One of the visuals analysis experts that contributed much here at EF was the late Jack White. Jack had a large following that appreciated his observations & analysis as well as a few that stalked him & routinely attacked him like hungry sharks. Jack White wouldn't post at Lancer because the website stated repeatedly that it did not believe in Z-film alteration. There was a constant barrage of contributors that DID believe the Z-film was altered in constant battle with webmaster Debra Conway & her assistants. Some of those battles may surface again when the Lancer Forum is returned to life. I believe every one that believes the Z-film was altered (or not altered) owes a debt of gratitude to Mr. Lifton. He was there first. How can a person tell if an amateur or professional JFK film has been altered or not? Film & photo analysis & interpretation can be a lesson in frustration for both the analyst and the person attempting to 'see' what the analyst is pointing out as evidence of tampering. People don't see things exactly the same. Some will 'get it' while others wouldn't see the ocean if they fell into it face first. With several visuals experts in the house, I'm going to cover this topic very briefly & invite the curious to look at the Dave Wiegman film that is available all over the Internet. Download the best copy of the film you can find, slow it down & perform a frame by frame analysis. Notice while Mr. Wiegman is on Elm Street (having just jumped out of a motorcade camera car) with his camera activated (running) it catches a couple of frames of JFK's parade car rounding the S-shaped curve on Elm Street (near the pergola sidewalk steps) & a frame or two later to the right the Zapruder pedestal is visible. Neither Abraham Zapruder or receptionist Marilyn Sitzman are seen standing on the concrete block. As Mr. Wiegman advances towards middle of the North Pergola & focuses on the Hestor couple, more frames of the Zapruder pedestal can bee seen at a closer distance to the camera. Neither Zapruder nor Sitzman can be seen. We know Mr. Zapruder continuously filmed the JFK parade car on Elm Street until it disappeared into the dark tunnel of the triple overpass by watching his film. So, how can he be missing from the pedestal along with his receptionist there to steady him (Zapruder suffered from vertigo)? Photo analyst Jack White believed Zapruder & Sitzman were never on the pedestal & their images were added later to a multitude of films & still photos. Other analysts believe Mr. Wiegman's film was edited on an optical printed & that whatever he caught on camera between the last frame depicting JFK's parade car rounding the corner of the curve & the first frame depicting Zapruder & Sitzman missing from the pedestal was edited out of the Wiegman film before it was broadcast on national TV Nov 22, 1963. How else can you explain the anomaly you see? Next up: Kathleen & I put ourselves in the Robert Hughes film to illustrate some simple alteration techniques most people won't notice in a visual they see. (hint: Kathleen & I will appear in the sniper's nest window visible in the Hughes film. Kathleen will be in the left side of the window because she refused to be at the right side. She thinks spiders might be there, so I had to go there instead).... It's make believe time. Let's pretend Kathleen & me got on the '11.22.63' film set in the sniper's nest window back in time. Let's say I scared whoever was really there in that window away (we can't say Kathleen scared them away because she might think we're making fun of her. Safer to keep it on me as the culprit....) Stephen King finishes his filming & looks at the day's 'rushes' & notices me & Kathleen looking out of the TSBD sniper's nest window in his re-enactment of Robert Hughes filming his amateur home movie back in time. Mr. King is very unhappy. It will cost a fortune to re-shoot that scene. How can he quickly & cheaply get rid of either Kathleen, me (or both of us) in his re-enactment footage? Simple: hand the film footage to an optical printer specialist & instruct him/her to remove me (let's say Mr. King thinks Kathleen is cute & wants to keep her in the footage, but definitely not my ugly mug). The optical printer specialist loads the film, locates the frames that contain my image, extracts his black tip felt marker & colors in a black circle in each frame that depicts my image. Then he/she copies the alteration on the optical printer, trashes the original footage & I am history. When the footage is run in motion a black 'blob' resembling an amoeba squirming around is visible (but not me) in the right side of the window next to Kathleen. That's basically what one sees when they view the original Robert Hughes film: a couple of black 'blobs' moving around in both sides of the sniper's nest open window, suggesting that whoever was originally there was optically removed by someone who darkened their image. Look for this technique in other JFK ambush visuals. Most of them have been accused by visuals analysts of being optical tampering victims by either sophisticated techniques or simple ones like I just illustrated. Good examples would include the people standing in the TSBD doorway in the Towner film or the North Pergola roofline in the Charles Bronson film that depicts several black rectangles that don't appear in other visuals. Whatever was originally there in that film was removed by possible simple optical tampering. Both are indications of possible optical tampering. As I wrap things up, I'd like to thank Mr. Bennett for allowing me the space in his thread to toss these issues into the food for thought for his readers to consider. Hats off to you, good Sir! Those interested in the filmography history of the JFK photographers I didn't mention in this post can probably find many examples of their efforts at Robin Unger's photo gallery or my simply Googling their names: Cecil Stroughton, Thomas Atkins, James Powell, Jay Skaggs, George Jefferies, Dave Powers, Bert Shipp, John Martin, Ernest Mentesana, Jack Daniel, James 'Ike' Altgens, William Allen, Wilma Bond, Frank Cancellare, Henry Burroughs, Tom Dillard The first researcher to gather & make available to the public a lot of the JFK assassination visuals was Robert Groden. Finally, I left the question of 'Did Time-Life create the CT movement with it's 1966 special issue 'A Matter Of Reasonable Doubt?' open for the readers of this thread to ask & answer for themselves. Several of my former college professors in the early 1980's felt that Time-Life did just that in order to make money from their ownership of The Z-film that the magazine's upper management had paid an awful lot of money for (close to 1 million dollars in today's money value). Was Time-Life mimicking the strange 'The Beatles Are Coming!' soundbites I can recall hearing unexpectedly on TV & radio shortly after the assassination of JFK in an effort to stir up interest in the z-film that might bring them big revenue? Could that be the reason Pamela Brown got to see the actual z-film & most of the rest of us did not? The readers decide.... Sincerely, Brad Milch

Another great article, James. Timely, too. Dirty Trickster pro Richard Nixon would be loving it! I obviously don't hang out with multi-billionaires (Sir Paul McCartney's never chipped in a dime to help me out in life, but I've given him & his fellow Beatles lots of my former cash. Come to think of it, Prince, Michael Jackson, John Lennon & George Harrison didn't help me out any either [[[[smiles]]]]), so my thoughts on the Donald & his good friend Roger Stone may be a bit off in regards to this recent Ted Cruz incident. What I believe we have just seen was the use of 'reverse psychology' & 'proof by number of believers' to poison the minds of Cruz supporters by taking the 53 years of public waterboarding that LHO killed JFK maintained by the US Government & its MSM cheerleaders (as opposed to disputing that allegation) & using it to Mr. Trump's advantage by 'suggesting' Ted Cruz's father was LHO's New Orleans Cuba leaflets buddy = Cruz's dad hung out with the man who killed JFK. The suggestion does the damage (same tactic as calling a girl a 'tramp' that we all saw & heard in high school at some point in time). The more the allegation was used, the more the poor girl targeted became a tramp in the minds of those who believed it. By the end of the school year, practically the entire school I attended believed it (even though there was no factual basis in existence for it). If enough people believed it, it was true. Your CBS cover-ups exposes better explain this basic 'Dirty Trick'. You are quite correct, James. MSM has indeed sunk to this low level. If my High School journalism teacher were alive to read what your new article at CTKA describes & what you exposed in your recent CBS cover-ups exposes, he'd self-destruct. He wouldn't understand it at all in the world of journalism high ethics, stringent standards, principals & discipline MSM is supposed to be all about. It goes against the grain of everything he taught & believed in his life. Brad Milch

20 years of being stabbed in the back by unknown bully assailants is a long time to be tortured for what you believe in, Wade. I doubt many have that kind of stamina & willpower to survive. Not to mention blood supply (((smiles))). The kicker for me is that I'm not an actual JFK researcher. Never had been. I consider myself a lifelong student of the case. I follow & absorb what genuine JFK researchers invest a huge chunk of their lives into. For anything I said here at the Education Forum to be collected & attacked by genuine online bullies is an honor I don't deserve. It demonstrates to me just how desperate that particular website is at creating discord in the JFK community. That's also why I find the ringmaster the cheerleaders there cluster around (McAdams) totally underserving of anyone fighting over his behalf. Ganging up on a former JFK website lurker that was fortunate enough to be able to participate in some discussions here at the Education Forum is a new experience for me. I've not witnessed that kind of weird Ninja assassins leap frog being played out on the Web before. Best always, Brad Milch

I mentioned it because it would be a sin to see such beautifully written thoughts trashed by some of the sorriest scumbags with keyboards & an Internet connection imaginable; in fact, a couple of lurker visits to that online psycho ward convinced me that Bill Gates should have required those seeking Internet access pass a maturity test first. I'm not sure if DVP is supplying alt-jfk with targets to attack or the 'regulars' are grabbing what he posts on his own websites. Either way, your theories may end up over there worked over by apparent felons from the planet Uranus that seem to have been loaded onto a spaceship & dumped off on poor planet Earth. I do hope in time technology reaches a level where they all can be quickly rounded up & sent back. They won't be missed. Stick with what you are doing here at EF, Wade. I still envision a book authored by you coming down the line in the future... BM

Hoo, boy! Wade, just in case you missed the warning & don't know, at least one of the Ed Forum members has been called out recently for collecting Ed Forum posts & feeding them like shark bait to probably the largest group of ambiguously gay pranksters assembled online in one place: alt jfk (AKA McAdams online cheerleaders camp). I've heard a lot of my stuff is posted there along with other Ed Forum members (I don't find this mean because I've noticed DVP supplies his own shark bait everywhere he posts on the Internet (lol)). They're going to lose sleep over your posts at alt-jfk, my friend (just as they probably do every time James DiEugenio says something negative about CBS, Uncle Walter & Deadpan Dan Rather). I thought I'd warn you in case you accidentally click on their hangout's web link. Anything you post there will be picked apart, word by word, sentence by sentence, mocked, ridiculed & your responses will not be posted. If that sounds mature & fair to you, go ahead & take your chances. You really don't need to if someone's delivering your mail for you, now do you? (smiles). It's a dirty job, but somebody's gotta feed those sharks or they will starve... You have an outstanding writing style, Wade. I find it difficult to stay out of your posts. I'll work on it.... Best always & sincerely, Brad Milch

To all: Thank you all for contributing. It all matters. To Mr. Lifton: Thank you, Grand Sir, for providing the information in your answers to my initial questions list for Mr. Hill. I believe your legacy in life will (along with Doug Horne) be recognized as the persons that brought the global public as close to the truth of the ambush & murder of John Kennedy as humanly possible with a mountain of obstacles blocking your path to the truth. Some of those obstacles have been MSM blacklisting & Internet slander. You've both courageously stood your ground from an undeserved written onslaught that would have weakened & broken the backs of others. I consider both of you as truth crusaders. Other notable truth crusaders that come to mind certainly would include Moses, Jesus & John The Baptist. People globally have the answers to this crime in their hands when they open the pages of your books, watch your videos, listen to your online lectures & read what you post here at the Education Forum. You have convinced me that Mr. Hill is what I suspected he might be, a clone of my father & those of his generation (born 1933) that are just like him that somehow managed to avoid prison. I understand fully what he is all about. I experienced some of the wrongs my father committed in life. God forgives; I don't. The best I could do in life was to avoid becoming a clone also. Doing the right thing is inconceivable to people like them. What people like me believe means nothing to them. The feelings of grandchildren mean nothing to them either. From my point of view, two radically different spiritual forces were present for each despicable thing in life each may or may not have done & gotten away with in the eyes of the laws we exist under. Their Judgement will be private between those two spiritual forces I referred to. Only one of the two will receive them Eternally. Just why our Creator Raptures some people via murderers is one of the many questions I intend to ask Him when He unplugs me forever & Judges me. When your new book & video are published, I will be first in line to obtain & absorb them. The Education Forum is extremely fortunate to have your presence here. People all over the world of all ages & backgrounds simply wanted the truth. They are tired of being lied to by often wealthy spin-masters for over half a century. You have unselfishly come to their aid. You have done more to help good people come to terms with this despicable crime than any other living person that I can think of. Whatever eternal reward awaits you when your work is finished on Earth, you earned it many times over. I consider it the highest honor that our two lives crossed paths briefly in these Educational Forum Internet pages. God Bless You, Grand Sir! Sincerely, Brad Milch

Wow...this is getting really weird, really fast. 3 highly respected JFK researchers & authors/1 of which is a top notch webmaster about to get really ugly over an Internet bully/creep that routinely referred to all 3 as 'kooks' at his online cheerleader camp. FWIW, an Army veterinarian once told me never pick up an injured dog with bare hands. The pain the dog is experiencing will drive the animal to viciously bite down on the Good Samaritan's helping hands, arms or face. If the dog can't be sedated with medication, cover the animal with a heavy blanket first. If no other option is available, humanely put the animal out of its misery. If DVP is reading this, this is precisely what I meant about WWIII suddenly exploding when the waters seem to be peaceful. In my opinion, Mr. McAdams consistently presents himself online as a smarta$$ that knows everything there is to know in life & likes to make those he targets appear to be dumb chumps. He's a big boy, he climbed into the bed he now occupies all by himself; he can get out of it by himself too. Just sayin'... BM

Wade: I forgot to mention that the Zapruder film documents Roy Kellerman operating JFK's parade car radio during the horrific headshot sequence. Kellerman could have been a trigger source too. Wouldn't it have been ironic if Kellerman has activated the trigger & blown his own head off? A bullet firing remotely mounted weapon is not as far fetched as it may seem. It's basically the same thing as aircraft wing mounted machine guns or cannons as used during World War II by both the Allied Forces & the Axis. Robert Prudhomme, distinguished weapons expert, could probably tell us a lot about those type of weapons, how they work & the risks involved in using them. Weapons of that type worked pretty nice for James Bond's tricked out Aston Martin too. Between us, I expected Stephen King to come up with something along those lines in his recent TV mini-series '11.22.63'. Like most before him, he omitted the SS guards & their transport car during the ambush sequence from his alleged TSBD sniper's line of sight. Another golden opportunity wasted by an unimaginative TV production team IMHO. As you remind us, spook work is all about slipping things in plain sight past people. Slick devils, those spooksters are known to be! I look forward to Gary's & your upcoming theories on this subject, Wade. BM

I, for one, look forward to your future endeavors on this subject, Wade. Personally, I wish someone in authority had made the Secret Service agents pop the hood on the Queen Mary when it was parked briefly at Parkland & had inspected the front grill area. If there had been a bullet firing weapon with a remote triggering device mounted on that car, that's where I believe it would have been found. Who could have triggered it remotely beside the actual SS agents in the car? The fellow known as 'The Cuban' (also known as Dark Complexioned Man = DCM) standing near the Umbrella Man. Some photo analysts have long maintained DCM had some type of radio transmission device hidden under the back of his jacket that is visible in several post-ambush photos. Best always, Brad Milch

I agree totally, Larry. Lady Karma is no one to mess with lightly. She has a way of unexpectedly balancing out wrongs & injustices. It just may turn out that Mr. McAdams may go down in history as the only college Professor guilty of assassinating himself. Best always, distinguished Sir, Brad Milch

Can you all imagine the horror running though the McAdams cheerleader camp that their worst nightmare (a CT 'kook' just might take the Oval Office in the next election)? Roger Stone describes his friend as a 'brawler'. That should send a message to some that their online sandbox frolics days are nearing an end (smiles). Just a thought... I'm with Pat & James regarding Mr. McAdams. Shameful....just totally shameful behavior coming from a college professor that should know better. Brad Milch

This is a 'biggie', Douglas! Many, many questions swirling around wondering what will happen if Trump gets into the Oval Office & finds a place in his Administration for his friend, Roger Stone. When is the waterboarding of Ted Cruz ("Lucifer in the flesh") for info on his father's connection to LHO going to begin? Will the Justice Department try to stonewall Mr. Trump as President? Are we on the threshold of finally truthfully learning who was pulling LHO's strings & for what purpose 53 years ago? Inquiring minds want to know..... Brad Milch
