Who's the tinfoil-hat JFKA conspiracy theorist who added the shots "audio"?

Have you seen the National Archives copy of the Zapruder film Steve? It is my understanding that that is a privilege that not many people get to have.

I won’t argue about the direction that his head faces. My impression that he turned his head to his left could definitely be wrong. However, I think that he could have glanced to his left using just the movement of his eyes. My opinion still is that Chaney’s description of JFK looking over his left shoulder just after the first loud bang that Chaney first thought was a motorcycle backfire is when JFK does just that around the mid Z140s to Z150s.

    Hi Charles,

  This is an enhanced copy (slowed and somewhat steadied) of the National Archives (NA) copy.  I am looking for the copy of the NA Z film without the enhancement, and slow motion, and as soon as I find it I'll post the link here for you. This gives a good view of Chaney, however, without Zapruder's camera jerking, and such: 

 

 Here is the link to the NA copy of the Z film at regular speed, un-enhanced.  You can slow the film down on YouTube  to get a better view of James Chaney.   

Dan Rather verified on multiple world-wide broadcasts that the JFK Limo turning onto Elm St was on the Original Zapruder Film. The Current Zapruder Film does not include this. And there are other discrepancies between the Original Zapruder Film and the Current Zapruder Film.

Poor Dan Rather.

As he later said, he'd done the best he could under the circumstances.

 Oliver "Far-Left" Stone? Your political compass is outta wack.

She said that the horrible ear-shattering noise was the first of three shots that she distinctly recalled, the last two following that horrible ear-shattering noise after a pause of several seconds.

She said that the first shot sounded like a car backfire, and she said that it didn't hit anybody.


Well, the first thing I remember is . . . uhh . . . we wanted . . . they had turned the corner. It was like the parade was over. They were about to hit the freeway and there was this big crowd. There was people but not the huge crowds that they had coming through Dallas and they were kind of talking amongst themselves in the car and I yelled out “please look this way” because I wanted to see Jackie Kennedy “please look this way” and they did look at us and waved and I think we're the last people they waved to.

Stephen Fagin: Yeah, you can sort of see that moment in the Zapruder film when the President raises his hand . . . and then after they . . . when did when did the shooting begin?

Woodward:  Well, then the shooting . . . There was one shot . . . and I have always believed it didn't hit anybody and I think a lot of research has shown I'm probably right on this because I couldn't see anything happen and I couldn't figure out what it was and we were saying is it, you know, we thought it was somebody backfiring a car or fireworks or something, but then the next two shots came very, very rapidly the sound one didn't kind of fade away before the second shot came and that's when the second shot I saw really what happened, and I don't know . . . of all the four of us it seemed I was the only one who really saw or really understood what happened and I don't know whether it's because they really weren't that intent[ly] looking, they weren't the Kennedy aficionados that I was so I don't know if they really just weren't looking because it was also ending you know it was about to go up on the freeway ,or they just didn't grasp it,  I don't know, but we got back to the newspaper and we delayed a few minutes . . .

Stephen Fagin: Interrupts with a question about the Grassy Knoll.
