JFK Assassination Forum

I showed you the position of JFK when clear of the foliage.  I showed you the map and Itek’s positions of JFK at the time of Betzner, z188 and Willis #5 (z202).  Are you suggesting that Itek was deliberately spreading falsehoods?

Itek isn't deliberately spreading falsehoods, you are.
You do little else as it's the only way you can peddle your demented theory.
Your methodology for determining when JFK was clear of the foliage is a joke, which keeps it perfectly aligned with everything else about your "theory".

We don’t know what Oswald was thinking.  He would have been able to track the car while it passed under the tree branches. So he could easily have shot just as JFK was clear of the tree.  It is conceivable that he could have fired before. 

I am not sure what you base z207 as the time JFK was clear of the tree branches as seen from the SN.  Are you using the flawed FBI recreation?

In any event there is certainly a change in JFK’s hand and head between z188 and z198 and we have evidence that the first shot was after z186 and before z202.

We don’t know what Oswald was thinking.

It doesn't matter what Oswald was thinking as he never took the shots.
But we do have very strong evidence that the shooter was visualising the kill zone moments before the motorcade entered Dealy Plaza:
This is from Ronald Fischer's WC testimony:

"And I looked up and I watched the man for, oh, I'd say, 10 or 15 seconds. It was until the first car came around the corner of Houston and Main. And, then, when that car did come around the corner, I took my attention off of the man in the window and started watching the parade. The man held my attention for 10 or 15 seconds, because he appeared uncomfortable for one, and, secondly, he wasn't watching-uh---he didn't look like he was watching for the parade. He looked like he was looking down toward the Trinity River and the triple underpass down at the end-toward the end of Ell Street. And--uh--all the time I watched him, he never moved his head, he never-he never moved anything. Just was there transfixed."

While everyone was looking for the motorcade entering Dealey Plaza, the shooter was "transfixed" on the kill zone. This is what he would have been looking at:



Above is the view from the SN window the assassin was staring at, "transfixed".
As far as the assassin is concerned there is only one feature of interest - the open stretch of road beyond the oak tree.
It makes perfect sense that the assassin has already made up his mind regarding his plan of action.
The idea that he starts taking random potshots as the limo passes the TSBD won't fly. The idea that he is rushing so much he needs to fire through the oak tree won't fly.
Look at the picture above, if you were the assassin, when would you pull the trigger?

Of course there's a change, he's waving his hand and turning his head from looking to his right to looking forward. His interaction with Mary Woodward and her colleagues has passed and he is resuming his normal position. Why on earth would he stay frozen in the same position? Your desperation to try and grab on to anything you think might prop up your demented theory is astonishing.
THERE IS NOTHING in the Z-film to indicate JFK has been shot before he passes behind the Stemmons sign.
Not a single thing other than people projecting their own delusions onto what a head turn might mean. JFK's first noticeable, visual reaction begins after he has emerged from behind the Stemmons sign.

And the single piece of evidence that exists for a shot before z202 comes from Phil Willis' discredited money-making scam.

JFK wasn't clear of the foliage until z207.
To state otherwise is a deliberate falsehood.
The idea that the assassin would shoot through the oak tree is utterly ridiculous. Any shot before z207 would have been through the branches of the oak tree.
It is slightly insane that it has to be pointed out that the assassin knew in advance where the "kill zone" was to be.
He would have been fully aware of the oak tree.
He would never have dreamed of shooting while the limo was anywhere near the oak tree.
He would have waited until JFK was out in the open.
To suggest otherwise is demented.

  The 4K post of the Zapruder Film is exceptional. (Between the sprocket holes included). That other motion picture "thing" is pure baloney and does nothing but cast doubt on the 4K Zapruder Film.  Stay away from that garbage and stick with what you know is legit.
