The JFK Assassination Decoded: Two Reviews

Jerome Corsi and James DiEugenio review Dr. David Mantik's new book The JFK Assassination Decoded: Criminal Forgery in the Autopsy Photographs and X-rays.

hey Tom (if you’re there), guess you know the MM website by PJ is not OK, as in, it is no more.  Sigh.  Posted there was also PJ and Mitchell’s stenographers’ recording of their little tête à tête.  Oh well.  Some things get erased.

    Where is Zapruder? The Bell Film shows Wiegman running across the stairs/directly toward Zapruder. He gets very close to Zapruder. Wiegman then hangs a (L) and runs down the knoll between the Stemmons Sign and the Newman Family. We should be able to see a trace of the lower body of Zapruder up atop the steps. We do Not. Why? Zapruder has moved during a "Time Gap" here. "Missing Time"! Maybe, Wiegman for whatever reason, Stopped up there before hanging a (L) and running down the knoll. Remember that in "Pictures Of The Pain" (1994), Wiegman said that he saw SA Lem Johns UP-The-Knoll. Maybe this time gap/lost time is when Wiegman saw SA Lem Johns up-the-knoll? Maybe Wiegman filmed SA Lem Johns during this "time gap"? SA Johns claimed that he Never left Elm St after he jumped out of the LBJ SS Car.  The FBI has always claimed that no agents were assigned a ground position inside Dealey Plaza on 11/22/63.
    The Yellow Circled Officer Hargis is also a problem. He gave WC Testimony that he ran to that little wall that runs down from Zapruder. Hargis thought a shooter had fired from atop the Triple Underpass. He wanted to get a good look at the top of the Triple Underpass while covered by the short wall. But Hargis being behind the short wall is not on any image.
     The Wiegman Film was claimed to have been shot "continuously" for 30+ years following the assassination. "Pictures Of The Pain" comes out 31 yrs after the assassination with Wiegman claiming to have seen SA Lem Johns "Up-The Knoll", and all the sudden the Wiegman Film is now claimed to NOT be filmed continuously. There is a connection.

The Bell Film shows Wiegman running across the stairs/directly toward Zapruder.

The Bell film shows Weigman (circled in red) lying on the steps. He has just finished filming the Hesters (Mrs Hester circled in yellow) and is in the process of getting up.
Weigman doesn't move from this spot. He doesn't approach Zapruder at all. Note - in the bottom left of this image we can see Hargis stood by a lamp post.



There is then a cut in the film and Weigman is suddenly down by the Newmans. Note - in this image we can see Hargis is now running across Elm Street towards his car.



In the Couch film we see the moment Weigman runs down the knoll from his spot on the steps filming the Hesters to his spot near the Newmans where he starts to film them. We should be able to see Zapruder and Sitzman in the Couch footage but the Stemmons sign is in the way.



In the image above Weigman is about half way along his run. Hargis is still at the lamp post and is about to start his run across Elm Street.


"The Wiegman Film was claimed to have been shot "continuously" for 30+ years following the assassination."

From my own viewing it seems that the opening shot of the Weigman film is a single shot up until the point he has finished filming the Hesters. The film then clearly cuts to the Newmans. There can be zero doubt there is a cut at this point so I'm not sure how there could be a claim that it was continuous.

JC-

I never said the snubnose .38 was used to fire upon the limo.

Although a .38, firing lead, rather than FMJ bullets, might explain the Tague shot. Might. Might not. Only lead was detected on the curb near Tague.

My best guess is the GK smoke-and-bang show was a diversion, and it worked.

The second official investigation, HSCA, found someone fired a shot in the GK area as the limo passed.

There it stands. Each to his own.

My bad. I meant to say exited from below his right nipple. I've fixed it if you want to respond.

Sorry, John. I should have asked you first if that was a mistake.  In reading it over I can see that the rest fits with you intending to say “exited”. 

The key to understanding the second bullet is to understand why JBC felt such a forceful impact where the bullet entered. That impact requires the bullet to undergo a significant change in momentum at the point of impact.  The bullet didn’t stop there and it did not penetrate the fifth rib at the point of impact. That occurred farther along the rib. The bullet had lots of energy after that initial impact because it took out the last 10 cm of the rib driving bone shards into the lower right lung and then having enough energy to fracture the radius in several pieces.

So the momentum imparted by the bullet to the fifth rib did not result from a sudden loss in speed at the point of impact.  Rather the momentum transferred to the body at the point of impact was due to a sudden change in direction of the bullet at the point of impact. This means the bullet struck the fifth rib at much more than a shallow glance. It struck the fifth rib solidly at an angle much closer to the normal or perpendicular to the surface of the rib. The fact that the rib fractured farther up the rib close to the spine supports this forceful, more normal impact angle.

I posted my last REPLY expressing my disappointment at not being able to find the moment when Weigman makes his way from filming the Hesters to filming the Newmans, had a quick look at Malcom Couch's footage and instantly saw exactly what I was looking for.
The cropped still below is from Couch.
The focus is on the figure in the red circle.
This figure runs from point A to point B along the blue line.
It is Wegman running between the Hesters and the Newmans.
It takes him about 3 seconds to cover this distance.



He can be seen in the footage below starting around the 4 second mark:
