JFK Assassination Forum

TG-

This is not speculation, but observation: The CIA often used personnel who were detailed from other defense agencies.

For example, when the Kennedy Administration decided to have the SV Diem brothers waxed, they turned over dirty work to Lucien Conein, US Army officer but actual OSS/CIA operative.

Same deal on Hemming?

Dino Brugioni claimed that he had seen a different version of the Zapruder film which included a large red mist over JFKs head, which lasted 2 to 3 frames, at the time of the fatal head shot. The Zapruder film as it stands only shows a red mist for 1 frame which is frame 313. Brugioni claimed that the version of the Zapruder film we have now shows a much shorter headshot sequence than the version he saw.

However Abraham Zapruder disproves such a claim. When Zapruder sold the rights of the  Zapruder film to LIFE magazine, he stipulated that frame 313 must never be published, a stipulation that LIFE honored. The fact that Zapruder stipulated that only 1 frame must not be published, and not 2-3 frames, is prima facia evidence that the gore of the headshot did not last longer than 1 frame.

Zapruder and Life saw the film the week of the assassination before any dyes got a chance to fade. Despite Zapruder being paid the equivalent in today's money of 1.5m dollars for the film, and Life paying that much, neither of them saw any differences in the Zapruder film at all. That's the kind of money that would make people observant.

Well, his wife said as much also.

I have read Gov. JBC's WC and HSCA testimonies, and those of Drs. Gregory and Shaw, many times.

At Z-222, JBC is sitting bolt upright. He has been shot through the chest, had his right wrist fractured and the slug penetrated into his thigh?

And that after that, he makes a 180-degree turn in his seat to look for JFK? Unaware of his own grievous injuries?

JBC recalls he was pushed forward by the slug that struck him, and immediately immobilized.

That lines up with ~Z-295.

Also, most ear-witnesses heard a "bang....bang-bang" cadence of shots. That limes up with JFK struck at ~Z-222, and then JBC at ~Z-295 and then JFK again at Z-313.

That's my story, and I am sticking with it.
