JFK assassination film hoax

  A simple introduction 

On November22, 1963, U.S. President John F. Kennedy was shot and killed whiletraveling down Elm Street, Dallas,Texas, in an open car in a motorcade.Everyone agrees about that.

Many peoplethink that agencies of the U.S. Government have lied about or covered updetails of the assassination.

For threedecades, people thought the best proof of foul play was a 27-second home movieof the assassination taken by a Dallasdressmaker, Abraham Zapruder. It shows JFK’s head being blasted backwards andto his left:

This seems totell us that the shooter was in front of the car on the right side, on the“grassy knoll” (small hill) next to Elm Street.But the U.S. Government insisted that JFK was shot by just one man hiding in abuilding far behind the limousine.

Things get morecomplicated when we look at the film frame-by-frame. As the bullet hits, JFK’shead first moves forwards:

This makesthings confusing. There seemed to be three possible explanations:

1.     He washit by two bullets at almost the same time (one from behind and then one fromthe front).

2.     He washit from behind, and a jet of brain matter exploding from the front caused hishead to recoil backwards.

3.     He washit from behind and some sort of muscle reaction caused his head to flybackwards.

People tried tofigure this out for three decades. Instead of clearing up the mystery,Zapruder’s film just made things more confusing.

In the 1990s,researchers started to realize that there was a fourth possible explanation.Zapruder’s film might also be a part of the lies and cover-up that agencies ofthe U.S. Government had weaved around the JFK assassination!

Scientistsexamined the Zapruder film. They found that, while most of it looks completelygenuine, some of the images are impossible. They violate the laws of physics.They could not have come from Zapruder’s home movie camera.

Zapruder’s filmis a very good forgery. It is almost perfect. Some mistakes took almost 40years to find.

The scientistsalso proved that Zapruder’s film was not just changed a little bit. The wholefilm is a fake!

A movie film isjust a strip of little photos (“frames”). The fake film was made by cutting andpasting real photos and film frames together to make new frames.

Because the Zapruderfilm is only 27 seconds long, less than 500 photos needed to be made. Theforgers had almost a year to create them, before they were published. This wasnot difficult to do in 1963 and 1964. People had been creating high qualityfake photos since the 1850s!

But what aboutthe people who watched Zapruder’s film in the days after the assassination?

Film expertsbelieve that a real film of theassassination was quickly altered on the evening of the assassination, usingmachines that could create Hollywood-style special effects (like Mary Poppins, created in 1964). Sincethe film was not shown on television, no one knows exactly what these peoplesaw. But we do know that they described a film that is different to the film published in November 1964 as the “Zapruderfilm”!

In May 2003,scientists and researchers presented their latest findings at a conference in Duluth,Minnesota. This has now been described in abook, The Great Zapruder Film Hoax,published in September 2003.

If you want moredetails, please read The Great ZapruderFilm Hoax. It contains much more information about the Zapruder film andits forgery. An earlier book, Murder inDealey Plaza, has more information about the whole assassination and itscover-up.

In the end, youhave to decide for yourself what to believe. But don’t just believe what theU.S. Government tells you!
