Dan Rather's laughable account of what he thinks he saw in the Zapruder film

[Jack Nessan]

It again seems that you simply do not really read replies before you reply to them.

What is mind boggling is the claim that a marked slowdown/near stop is observable in the current Zapruder film played at normal speed. You pretend to be stunned by my point that no such event is discernible in the current film, but you ignore the fact that the only slowdown that Dr. Luis Alvarez could find in the film is the Z295-304 slowdown, which he only detected via frame-by-frame analysis and measurement. And surely you know Alvarez was a devout WC defender.

I dare you to conduct a simple test of getting 10 ordinary people who are not JFK researchers, asking them to view the Zapruder film, and asking them if they see the limo slow down before Jackie starts to get on the trunk. I'd bet you my IRAs that not one of them would say they saw any slowdown before that point.

As I document in "Evidence of Alteration in the Zapruder Film," the Nix and Muchmore films do not show "the exact same sequence of events" as the Zapruder film. Again, the Muchmore film shows the limo's brake lights on for half a second at a time when the Zapruder shows nothing resembling the obvious slowdown that would occur from pressing the brake pedal for 9 frames. The Muchmore film also shows Brehm's son moving at a different speed than the Zapruder film shows him moving.

And the Nix film shows Agent Hill and Jackie in clearly different locations in relation to each other than does the Zapruder film, and no lame appeal to camera angles and distances can make explain that contradiction. The angles and locations would have had to be far more different to even hope to create such an "optical illusion," when in fact, as I've noted before, we see most of the same parts of the limo in the one film that we see in the other--this would not be the case if the cameras had been at drastically different angles and in markedly different positions in relation to the limo.

MG-- “Over 40 witnesses from all over Dealey Plaza said the limousine stopped or markedly slowed, yet no such action is seen in the Zapruder film. Are you going to argue that these witnesses amazingly experienced a mass hallucination?”

No, their statements confirm what is readily seen in the Zapruder, Nix, and Muchmore films.

They would all see the car slow down. The motorcycle cops did not have a problem figuring it out.

Did they forget to edit and alter the part where the motorcycle cop pulls up even with the hand hold on the back of the Limo while the Limo slows down? It is exactly the same in the Zapruder film, the Nix film, and the Muchmore film. It does not matter if you can’t understand the logic with camera angles, it is a reality anyway.
 
Only you care what Luis Alvarez was doing. The motorcycles start to gain on the limo at Z309 at the same time that Clint Hill leaves the SS Car.

As the Limo slows down the motorcycle reaches its farthest point alongside of the limo at Z337. At this same point is when Clint Hill first reaches the handhold. After this occurs, the car accelerates.

Possibly seeing brake lights in one film--Seriously? That is your sole issue?

  It is definitely worth noting exactly where DPD Motorcycle Officer Hargis STOPPED his motorcycle. Why? Because he then allegedly ran across Elm St and BACK toward the light pole. This course of action does Not line up with the actions of an officer Under Fire. And then there is the Issue of there being absolutely NO IMAGES of Officer Hargis being at the "little wall", "brick wall". Not a single image. Or a single image of SA Lem Johns running down Elm St toward the JFK Limo. ALL of these Missing Images have the common thread of allegedly happening in the LIMO STOP area.

This is definitely not worth noting and absolutely does not mean anything.

  Have you ever watched, "The Naked Gun" (1988)?  Does, "Move along, nothing to see here", ring a bell? There's an Image Black Hole extending (E) from the N-S Picket Fence to about 1/2 way across the Knoll. And do Not forget that the Wiegman Film was pushed for decades as being filmed "continuously". That is until it was proven that the period of time that Wiegman ran Down the Knoll was Not filmed by him. Or was it?
