Did Zapruder take "the Zapruder film"?

All,

Notice how often Josiah changes the subject or creates a new thread. I

suspect it has to do with people like me and Jack being on the verge

of hitting on something important. In an earlier post, for example, I was

speculating as to why a Yale Ph.D. in philosophy would commit so many

fallacies in argument--such as the straw man (by exaggerating my

position to make it easier to attack) and especially special pleading

(by offering only the evidence that supports your side)--DELIBERATELY,

since he has to know better. And I made a remark about Yale's

tradition of involvement with the OSS and the CIA, which may have

struck a nerve. He is not an idiot, but his conduct is not that of an

investigator who wants to uncover the truth. Something very odd is

going on with Josiah Thompson.

I left another--similarly dangling--issue in this post when I made the

following observation: "Why the photo would be faked, I do not profess

to know, but my guess would be there was something in the pergola area

that had to be obfuscated and, when the alteration was done, it was

not done quite right. The astounding part is not that a mistake was

made, but that Jack White noticed the line of sight that you have done

so much to obscure." I believe that Jack may have hit on the crucial

reason--or, at least, one of the reasons, since there may be more--for

fiddling with the Moorman in the pergola area specifically, which has

to do with the images of Sitzman and Zapruder, who might or might not

have been there at all. Consider Jack's studies.

In (Z1) the Betzner, Sitzman is 69" tall and Zapruder is 62". In (Z2)

the Moorman, their heights are now 66" and 58". In (Z3) the Nix, she

is 70" tall and Zapruder (who is now wearing a hat) is 68". In (Z4)

the Willis, Sitzman is 71" tall and Zapruder 64". And in (Z5) Bronson

she is 65" tall and Zapruder 57". Now Sitzman cannot be 69" tall and

66" tall and 70" tall and 71" tall and 65" and be one person at one

location in real time. However, her image could have been introduced

into those photos and films to create a presence that was not actually

at that place and time. Similarly, for Zapruder, who cannot be 62" tall

and 58" tall and 68" tall and 64" tall and 57" tall. Something very odd

is taking place here, for the discovery of which we, once again, have

Jack White to thank. Perhaps Zapruder did not take "the Zapruder film,

because the evidence presented here suggests he wasn't even there!

Notice that these discrepancies strongly support the hypothesis that

the Moorman was altered in the pergola area, which may explain

why--even though the photo in general must have been faked, as

John Costella has established--there has been such an enduring

attack on me and Jack for suggesting that something is not right.

The purpose has been to distract us from more important issues.

The crucial one would appear to be: Was Zapruder even there?,

a question that Jack White has been asking even before MURDER.

The Costella argument has established that the photo has to have

been faked, which is reinforced if the windshield argument is well-

founded. Because that, together with our LOS evidence, establishes

inconsistent features proving its a fake. While Mary was in the street,

there were multiple reasons for putting her back on the grass, as

David Lifton has observed, in a series of fascinating emails to me,

where he explains the significance of the debate and why it seems

extremely important to the ongoing cover up in the assassination:

When I thanked him for making some astute observations, he wrote again:

No problem, but. . .: keep in mind that mine is a totally subjective

impression.

Again let me stress that if Moorman (and Hill) were in fact in the street,

and then "lifted up" and "moved" over to the lawn, then sophisticated

optical editing/fabrication was done. That means there must have been a

graphics house somewhere that synthesized the multiple frauds involved here,

presumably with a big green light from the Johnson White House saying "Do

what you have to do--we don't want a nuclear war", etc.

You can't do this kind of work without lots of intermediate steps, work

prints, 16 (or, more likely 35 mm) work; etc Altering the films--to change

"the reality of the event" --is as significant as altering the wounds, or

removing bullets.

Someone has to edit "what actually happened" to fit the "story" of what was

suspposed to have happened. And then edit the "collateral" films

accordingly. Its not rocket science, but it would take some time and

technical talent.

So we're dealing with a very significant (and technically complex) coverup

(or "cleanup", depending on one's perspective).

In relation to the discover of Moorman in the Street" on YouTube, which can

be found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vO8vnfieuDshe , he also wrote:

I just watched that U-Tube video. . Several times. . .

Surely this video is from 20 years ago (or more?).

When I see evidence like this, I really get disgusted the with likes of

Thompson, and others, who don't seem to understand the critical importance

of what Mary Moorman is saying.

I spent an hour or more, visiting with Moorman, in 1971--and although I have

no filmed record, this is basically what she told me.

If Moorman's account is correct, then obviously the Zapruder film has been

altered. . And I see no plausible way to believe that Moorman conjured up

such a completely false account. I really find that ridiculous.

To the contrary: in view of the multiple car stop witnesses, its clear that

the film has been altered.

What Moorman's account does is indicate the extent of the alteration; the

truly sophisticated optical work that was done, to "lift" Moorman from the

street, and place her (and Hill, probably) up on the grass.

This is state of the art special effects work, circa 1963.

For years---and this is based on the fact that he never owned up to major

errors in Six Seconds--I've felt that Thompson has a puny little ego that

won't permit him to own up to the fact that the foundation for the entire

book he wrote back in 1967 was falsified evidence. So he's wedded to that

"1967 reality," where the Z film was the be-all and end-all.

Well, it isn't.

Mr. Fetzer,

I was not going to reply unless you were able to present something factual and scientific to show that Zapruder did not take his film, but I would like a clarification of your position if you do not mind. Are you saying that someone else stood atop of the pedestal other than Zapruder and Sitzman or that no one was up there at all during the assassination???

Well, Bill, you have done me the kindness of a short question, to which my reply shall be equally brief. The evidence that Jack White has unearthed leaves the matter completely unresolved. There are several possibilities, including that Zapruder was made of rubber, that Zapruder was not there at all, and that someone else stood in for him. We shall see.

Well Mr. Fetzer ... excuse me for not being a total idiot by contemplating that the figure seen standing on the pedestal and hopping off of it following the shooting was made of rubber. I hope that if the day comes that I ever consider something that stupid, then hopefully someone will cut my full blown dementia short by shooting my dumb behind.

Your other option is interesting, but just as silly as the 'made of rubber option'. For Zapruder not to have been on the pedestal and was represented by someone else who must of had vertigo as well (or pretended to) so to shake the camera so much, we must consider Sitzman and both Hester's as accomplices after the fact. What motive could they have had and what justification do you have for saying such a thing so to implicate them in the murder of America's 35th President?

And if you go to Trask's book called 'National Nightmare' ... there is a photo taken that shows someone who looks just like Zapruder inside the pedestal with Sitzman and the Hester's. Now would you like to re-think your position so that Bill O'Reilly doesn't have even more ammunition so to call you a nut to millions of viewers.

I would also like to know that if you are considering a man made of rubber being on the pedestal or someone shooting a film for Abe (presumably because they must have felt that Abe wasn't capable of using his own camera?), then can we dismiss the moronic claim in Hoax of there not being anyone on the pedestal in lieu of all the evidence???

Or the other possibility, and the most likely considering his track record...White screwed up ..again.

All of White "measurements" rely on his correctly finding the top of Zapruder' head. Given the poor images he as worked with and his track record of screwing up things like finding the correct LOS in Moorman, ther is better than even odds he screwed up again!

However that ewill not stop Jim Fetzer, who will believe and pimp any lame theory, as long as it fits his needs.

BTW Jim, you have never answered the question I ask quite some time ago. How did you verify the claims made by John Costella you have pimped in thiws discussion and published in hoax?

Without attempting to impugn your intellectual agility, the point of the

comparison was that no person could be different heights at such similar

times, unless he were made of rubber! Rubber, of course, stretches to

different lengths under various pressures, which might explain how he

and his secretary can be photographed as having many different heights

in five images. I didn't think it would be such a big stretch for your mind.

Zapruder and Sitzman may have been in the area, but I have always

found it a bit odd that she would climb up on the pedestal, which would

have been difficult for anyone but especially a woman in a dress, who,

presumably, would want to preserve her modesty. But the question is

a bit more basic than that, since we know that "the Zapruder film" is not

a film that Zapruder--or anyone else!--could have taken, since it includes

events, like the blow-out to the right-front, which are complete fabrications.

A film that includes events that did not take place--and excludes others

that did, such as Chaney motoring forward, not to mention Mary stepping

into the street--cannot be a film that Zapruder took. You might want to

review some of my posts on this forum and elsewhere, incuding "New

Proof of JFK Video Fakery", which you can find on-line, and, of course, my

studies at JFKresearch.com/Moorman/ and JFKresearch.com/Moorman2/ .

We need a much better idea of what an authentic film would have shown.

Fortunately, Rich DellaRosa, who moderates the JFKresearch.com forum,

has viewed (what appears to be) an authentic film of these events on no

less than three occasions. He appeared on BlackOpRadio.com on February

26, 2009, where his interview with Len Osanic can be found in its archives,

http://blackopradio.com/archives2009.html, for listening and downloading.

Because of that appearance, he has been asked questions about what he

saw, which he has now answered in "The 'other' film -- FAQs", archived at

http://jfkresearch.com/forum3/index.php?to...g26647#msg26647

The "other" film -- FAQs

Since I appeared recently on Len Osanic's "Black Op" radio

program, I have been receiving several questions, I'll try and

answer them here:

1. Where can this film be viewed?

I really don't know. I believe that copies exist in various places around the world.

However I have no knowledge where it can be viewed. I never at any time possessed

a copy myself. When I saw it, the film was shown by a person unknown to me along

with some others in a suburb of Washington DC (College Park, MD).

2. Do you believe it is an unedited version of the Zapruder Film?

Personally, I do not believe the film is in any way a version of the Zapruder

film. The Z film appears amateurish to me and unrealistic in the sense that it

seems like an animated "cartoon". The "other" film seemed to be professionally

done with great color rendition and smooth panning. Additionally, I am unsure as

to whether Zapruder shot the film attributed to him. A French photo journalist

who saw the film on several occasions does refer to it as an unedited version

of the Z film FWIW.

3. What are the major discrepancies in what is seen on both films?

The "other" film shows the limo on Houston Street as it turns onto Elm.

The Z film does not even though Z testified that he began filming when

the limo first came into view and did not stop filming until the limo left

the Plaza,

The 'other" film shows the limo making a wide turn onto Elm, nearly going

up on the curb and as though it first was headed to the service road in front

of the TSBD. Greer apparently struggled to navigate into the center of Elm.

The crowd appeared quite animated as the limo progressed down Elm St.

In the Z film, the crowd appears frozen.

In the "other" film, the Umbrella man is seem pumping the umbrella up and down,

not just holding it over his head. I've concluded that he may have been signaling

the various shooters to open fire -- that JFK was still alive. In the Z film the open

umbrella seems stationary except that a slight rotation can be detected.

The dark complected man with the cap alternately nicknamed TA (The Accomplice)

and The Cuban is seen in the "other" film motioning with an upraised arm while

he stepped into the street and was approaching the limo. He formed his up-raised

hand into a fist -- perhaps the infantryman's signal to "stop." I have concluded

that he was trying to attract Greer and Kellerman to stop the limo exactly at

his position -- which they did. the Limo was stopped ~2 to 3 seconds. The Z

film shows no stop.

The stop was so sudden that it jostled the occupants forward. A portion of this

forward motion can be detected in the extant Z film.

With the limo stopped, Greer turned to face JFK. At that moment JFK received

2 shots to the head: one from the rear causing his head to move forward slightly

and one to the right temple, fired from the front, resulting in a violent explosion

out the rear of JFK's head and sending a huge spray of blood and brain matter

toward DPD Officer Hargis hitting his helmet with what William Manchester

termed a "red sheet" and with such force that Hargis later said he thought he

himself was hit. This most gory explosion of matter is not accurately

portrayed in the extant Z Film.

Apparently once that Greer saw that JFK was hit, he then swung around and

accelerated the limo leaving Dealey Plaza and passing the lead car to entrance

the Stemmons freeway.

4. If the Zapruder film is altered, why did "they" leave in the explosive

head shot?

The first thing to keep in mind is that "they" never believed the Z film would

be viewed by the public. Members of the WC stated that they believed only

a few college professors would even read their report. With Time, Inc. and

the FBI controlling access to the Z film they could control who could view it

or even selected frames from it. If questioned, they could always say it was

being withheld due to concern over the Kennedy family's right to privacy.

In 1975, the extant Z film was shown on national TV on Geraldo Rivera's

"Goodnight America" program by Robert Groden. That segment

can be found on MPI's DVD Image Of An Assassination." The public

was shocked to see the head shot. To many, the Z film was proof of a

second gunman, one firing from the front. To counter those beliefs a

Nobel winning physicist (Luis Alvarez) concocted a "jet effect" theory to

explain how a shot from the TSBD could cause the violent "back and to the

left" reaction defying Newton's 2nd law of motion. Newton's second law of

motion can be formally stated as follows:

The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional

to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and

inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

(http://www.glenbrook.k12.il.us/GBSSCI/PHYS/CLASS/newtlaws/u2l3a.html).

The alterationists IMO HAD to leave in the fatal head shot. They couldn't

very well claim that JFK was a victim of whiplash. At the necessary time

Dr Alvarez was dragged out to produce a total canard.

5. Why was the Zapruder film fabricated/altered?

IMO, and simply stated, the purposes of altering the Z film, in order of

priority, were:

* To remove all evidence of multiple shooters

* To remove evidence of shots from any direction but the rear if possible

* To remove evidence of Secret Service complicity

6. On 11/23, Dan Rather claimed to have viewed the Z film, the first

reporter to do so. He claimed that JFK's head was throw violently

forward not backward. How can that be?

IMO, he may have been shown an early attempt of an altered film in which

the frames were reversed. But it is possible that he saw NO film at all --

and he was instructed what to say. Keep in mind that on 11/22, Rather was

simply a TV reporter for the local Dallas CBS affiliate -- but virtually overnight

he was promoted to CBS's official White House Correspondent. Quid pro quo??

7. Will the "other" film ever become accessible to the public?

I truly doubt it. It is a dangerous property because that one film proves that

JFK was murdered as a part of a well planned and executed conspiracy. It

lays the WCR bare as an intentionally written pack of lies and proves the

complicity of the Secret Service, the FBI, and the highest levels of the

U.S government.

I have known of ~ a half dozen people who have seen the film in the distant,

past -- yet no two ever saw it in the same place at the same time. I truly

wish that someone would come foreward and report a more recent viewing.

I truly do.

Tom, These look very interesting, but they belong on a Moorman thread. Please move them there and add some explanation about what you take them to show. Then I and others who care about the Moorman might address them on those threads. Thanks. Jim

Quite difficult to merely "look" at a photographic image without having absolutely precise means of measurement confirmation, and therefore determine if the focal plane was in direct parallel alignment with the true vertical plane of the target/image.

Jim, you don't have a clue what Tom is showing there! Why do you think this should be in the Moorman thread? LOL!

What he shows are basics that apply to everything ... not just Moorman, and in what he posted, it directly applies to the

Zapruder on the pedestal issue.

Is it any wonder the ridiculousness of the changing heights thesis sounds like a winner to you? Or do you even look at anything Jack White puts in front of you and evaluate it before you promote it?

What Tom has demonstrated is only one of the problems with Jack's "proofs" ... and it is all lost on you because by your reply you revealed you are clueless.

And you want to be taken seriously with your promotion of this kind of nonsense as proof of anything!?

Barb :-)

Tom, These look very interesting, but they belong on a Moorman thread. Please move them there and add some explanation about what you take them to show. Then I and others who care about the Moorman might address them on those threads. Thanks. Jim
Quite difficult to merely "look" at a photographic image without having absolutely precise means of measurement confirmation, and therefore determine if the focal plane was in direct parallel alignment with the true vertical plane of the target/image.

OK, I'll bite. What are you showing here, Tom? Barb seems to think it has something to do with the fabrication of the Zapruder,

but that is established by the inclusion of events that did not occur--such as the massive blow-out to the right front--and exclusion

of events that did occur--such as Chaney motoring forward or, dare I say it?, Mary stepping into the street. But I thought that I

had explained this many times, so I am baffled that Barb, who should know better, apparently does not.

Jim, you don't have a clue what Tom is showing there! Why do you think this should be in the Moorman thread? LOL!

What he shows are basics that apply to everything ... not just Moorman, and in what he posted, it directly applies to the

Zapruder on the pedestal issue.
