Video proof that Lee Harvey Oswald did not kill JFK exists, and has existed for a very long time.
The name of the video is the Zapruder film because it was taken by a man named Abraham Zapruder who was standing on the Grassy Knoll of Dealey Plaza in Dallas at the time of the assassination. We even know he was shooting at a frame rate of 18.4 frames per second.
Everyone, particularly every American, needs to watch the Zapruder film. It shows the fateful moment JFK was murdered.
Because Abraham Zapruder was an amateur, the camera is ultra shaky. If you were to watch the original Zapruder film, it would be very difficult to make out much of what’s happening.
So, you need to watch a version that has been stabilized, zoomed in, and in slow-motion so you can see every detail.
Click here to watch the best version of the Zapruder film I’ve found.
There are a ton of things happening in this film, so I’m going to go through it all in a very detailed manner.
Once I finish, you will know for sure that Lee Harvey Oswald could not have possibly killed JFK.
The first thing you have to understand is the geography of Dealey Plaza. JFK was in a Presidential limousine that was driving west on Elm Street when he was shot.
Three streets: Elm, Main, and Commerce all converge on the west end of Dealey Plaza under what is known as the Triple Underpass.
The first 34 seconds of the Zapruder film show the Secret Service driving motorcycles in Dealey Plaza down Elm Street. The reason this portion of the video is crucial is because the Texas School Book Depository (TSBD) is behind them. Furthermore, the DalTex building is next to the TSBD.
Now that you’ve watched the Zapruder film, you know JFK was facing forward when he was struck by the kill shot. This means, that at the moment the kill shot hit him, the TSBD was behind him.
Lee Harvey Oswald supposedly fired the kill shot from the sixth floor of the TSBD.
If that is true, then by the simple laws of physics, the bullet would hit JFK in the back of the head and his head would go forward and down.
Watch the Zapruder film again and note which way his head moves at 1:23, the moment the kill shot hits him.
Which way did it go?
Was it forward and down?
Absolutely not.
His head moved backward.
It actually moved backward and to the left. That means that the kill shot could not have possibly come from the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository. Instead, it had to come from in front of him, from the direction of the Grassy Knoll.
This one absolute fact proves that Lee Harvey Oswald did not kill JFK. He could not have possibly done so.
Does it prove that Lee Harvey Oswald wasn’t a shooter?
No, it does not.
There are many more facts we must take into account to arrive at that conclusion.
Shortly after the murder, the new President of the United States of America, Lyndon B. Johnson, organized the Warren Commission to investigate the murder of JFK.
The Warren Commission had the Zapruder film.
They watched the same film you just watched.
Yet, they declared Lee Harvey Oswald was a lone wolf.
The laws of physics make that impossible.
Plus, they ignored the testimonies of many people who were there that day who said they both heard at least one gunshot come from the direction of the Grassy Knoll and saw a puff of smoke come from that direction.
Eyewitness Jean Hill said:
“ . . . a bullet hit his head and took the top off. [My friend] Mary [Moorman] fell to the ground and shouted, ‘Get down, they’re shooting!’ But being young and dumb, I kept standing for a minute trying to see where the shots came from. It was eerie. Everything seemed frozen. I saw a man fire from behind the wooden fence. I saw a puff of smoke and some sort of movement on the Grassy Knoll where he was. [She later pinpointed this location as about fifteen feet north of the eastern corner of the wooden picket fence—the exact location of a figure discovered in Moorman’s photograph.] Then I saw a man walking briskly in front of the Texas School Book Depository. He was the only person moving. Everybody else seemed to be frozen with shock. Because of my earlier thoughts, I became suspicious of this man and thought he might be connected . . .”
(Marrs, Jim. Crossfire: The Plot That Killed Kennedy, pages 37-38. Kindle Version).
The man she saw walking in front of the TSBD was Jack Ruby. I will explain this and much more about Jack Ruby in great detail in a later article in this series.
Here’s another account of an eyewitness:
“S.M. Holland, an employee of the Union Terminal Company for 25 years, was asked by police officers on the morning of November 22 to identify those railroad employees who wanted to watch the Presidential motorcade from the bridge which spanned Elm Street. At 11:45 a.m. Holland went to the overpass and began to identify the railroad workers. He was still on the bridge when the motorcade moved west on Elm Street, heading directly toward him. Suddenly shots rang out. Holland immediately looked to his left, toward the wooden fence, the bushes and the trees [the direction of the Grassy Knoll], ‘And a puff of smoke came out about 6 or 8 feet above the ground right out from under those trees.’ He said he heard four shots and had ‘no doubt about seeing that puff of smoke come out from under those trees.’
“Holland realized that an attempted assassination was taking place as he watched. He believed an assassin or assassins were behind the wooden fence. ‘Well, immediately after the shots was [sic] fired,’ he said, ‘I run around the end of this overpass, behind the fence to see if I could see anyone up there behind the fence.’ He said that ‘by the time I got there there were 12 or 15 policemen and plainclothesmen, and we looked for empty shells around there for quite a while.’ Holland added, ‘I remember about the third car down from this fence, there was a station wagon backed up toward the fence, about the third car down, and a spot, I’d say 3 foot by 2 foot, looked to me like somebody had been standing there for a long period.’ He said there was ‘mud up on the bumper’ of the station wagon in two spots.’
“Q. As if someone had cleaned his foot, or—
“Holland: Well, as if someone had cleaned their foot, or stood up on the bumper to see over the fence.”
(Lane, Mark. Rush To Judgment, pages 39-40. Kindle Version.)
Author Mark Lane continues:
“Holland noted that the area behind the fence was used as a parking lot by the Dallas Sheriff’s office. Moments after making this remark, he was excused as a witness.”
So, the fact that so many officers and other men flooded the area behind the Grassy Knoll means that they all thought the shot/s that killed JFK originated from the direction of the Grassy Knoll. There were many other people who believed at least one shot came from the Grassy Knoll. On page 43 (Kindle Version) of Mark Lane’s book Rush To Judgment, he makes this incredible statement about the witnesses who were present that day:
“[I]n fact, nearly 100 other persons believed that the shots came from the knoll.”
Taken together, there is a mountain of incontrovertible proof that at least one person fired from the Grassy Knoll and killed President John F. Kennedy.
Yet, in the face of incontrovertible proof, what did the body appointed by the President of the US to discover the truth about the assassination of JFK do?
They lied.
The Warren Commission lied.
There’s no other way around it.
They lied to hide what really happened.
This is the first strong clue that Lee Harvey Oswald was not part of the conspiracy to murder JFK. If he was, why did the Warren Commission lie so much to point the finger only at him?
Yet, there is so much more that happened in the Zapruder film.
At the moment the kill shot hit JFK, Jackie Kennedy’s face was very close to JFK’s face and it’s clear she’s looking at something or looking for something.
JFK was getting hit by bullets all over, but it looks like Jackie Kennedy is looking in the area of JFK’s neck.
If her head had been over just another inch or two, she’s the one who would’ve died that day.
Shortly after the kill shot hit JFK, Jackie Kennedy climbed onto the back of the Presidential limousine.
Most people don’t have any idea as to why she did that.
She did it because she was picking up a part of JFK’s brain off the back of the Presidential limousine.
Page 11 (Kindle Version) of Jim Marrs’ book Crossfire: The Plot That Killed Kennedy explains:
“Mrs. Connally told the Warren Commission she recalled hearing Mrs. Kennedy crying out, ‘I have got his brains in my hand.”
And:
“. . . sitting in Parkland Hospital, she had the object still clutched in her hand. Dr. Marion T. Jenkins encountered a ‘shell shocked’ Mrs. Kennedy in the hospital hallway. ‘I noticed her hands were cupped in front of her, as if she were cradling something,’ he recalled. ‘As she passed by, she nudged me with an elbow and handed me what she had been nursing in her hands—a large chunk of her husband’s brain tissues.”
This serves as more proof that the kill shot came from the front and blew out the back of JFK’s brain.
But to explain why Jackie Kennedy was looking in the direction of JFK’s neck, you need to understand two very important people who were present in Dealey Plaza that day.
At 46 seconds into the Zapruder film, the Presidential limousine begins to pass by the Stemmons Freeway sign.
From 56 to 58 seconds, JFK disappears behind the sign.
But what is very interesting is that from 58 seconds to 1:02, an umbrella appears to the side of the sign.
If you watch the Zapruder film again, you’ll notice that no one else has an open umbrella. Though it was November, it was Dallas and was a warm sunny day.
Right after the umbrella appears, JFK raises his hands to his neck. It’s apparent that his neck has been hit by something.
JFK Assassination researcher Jim Marrs explains in his book Crossfire: The Plot that killed Kennedy pages 29-30 (Kindle Version):
“As Kennedy’s limousine began the gentle descent into Dealey Plaza, a man can be seen standing near the street-side edge of the Stemmons Freeway sign holding an open umbrella. He holds the umbrella in a normal fashion and the top of the umbrella almost reaches the bottom of the sign.
“In photos taken minutes before Kennedy’s arrival, the umbrella is closed and, immediately after the shooting, pictures show the umbrella was closed again. The man’s umbrella was open only during the shooting sequence. Furthermore, as seen in the Zapruder film, once Kennedy is exactly opposite the man with the umbrella, it was pumped almost two feet into the air, twirled, and then lowered.
“At the same time, the second man—in photos he appears to be dark complected, perhaps black or Hispanic—raised his right hand into the air, possibly making a fist . . .”
“The man with the open umbrella was the only person in Dealey Plaza with an open umbrella. Under the warm Texas sun, there was no reason to carry an open umbrella at that time . . .
“Assassination researcher Robert Cutler long maintained that the umbrella may have been a sophisticated weapon that fired a dart or ‘flechette’ filled with a paralyzing agent. Cutler’s theory is supported by the 1975 testimony of a CIA weapons developer who told the Senate Intelligence Committee that just such an umbrella weapon was in the hands of the spy agency in 1963.
“Charles Senseney, who developed weaponry for the CIA at Fort Detrick, Maryland, described a dart-firing weapon he developed as looking like an umbrella. He said the dart gun was silent in operation and fired through the webbing when the umbrella was open. Senseney said the CIA had ordered about fifty such dart weapons and that they were operational in 1963.
“In his 1970 book, Cutler theorized that the umbrella was used to fire a paralyzing dart into Kennedy immobilizing him for marksmen with rifles. He claims this theory accounts for the small puncture wound in Kennedy’s throat described by Dallas doctors, but which was altered by the time of the Bethesda autopsy. According to Cutler, this dart explains Kennedy’s lack of motion during the shooting sequence. Since such a weapon existed and since the actions of both Kennedy and the ‘umbrella man’ were consistent with the operation of such a weapon, Cutler’s theory cannot be summarily dismissed . . .”
Yet, there’s a possibility for more to be at play. Jim Marrs continues:
“[Another] theory suggests that Kennedy was killed by a crossfire coordinated by radiomen. The two men, who were among the closest bystanders to the president when he was first struck, gave signals indicating that he was not fatally hit and therefore more shots were required.”
As you watch the Zapruder film, it’s quite plausible that the man with the umbrella fired a dart tipped with a paralyzing agent. This was necessary because they didn’t want JFK to be able to duck or move out of the way. By paralyzing him, they made him a sitting duck and a much easier shot for marksmen.
There were more than just two shooters. The CIA’s own files say it.
Newly released JFK File 104-10014-10067 Bullet Point 10 States:
“L/1 talked about assassination of President John F. Kennedy. According to L/1, in 1969 L/1 personally saw Fidel Castro receive a group of U.S. radicals. Castro talked to them for two hours about why just one assassin could not possibly have killed Kennedy. Castro ordered a reenactment of the crime, using his best marksmen, and they could not duplicate *what <Lee Harvey Oswald> supposedly did by himself. L/1 said that three groups were involved in killing the President: One group of Cubans, One group o[f] ‘Mafiosos’ and a third group of mercenaries. The third group included a man with a Greek name.”
So, there were three groups of shooters.
Officially, JFK was struck by a bullet in his shirt 5 ¾ inches below the collar, and struck by another right at the neck tie knot near his Adam’s apple. Evidence suggests he was hit by many more bullets. I will get into this topic in detail during a later article in this series.
Governor John Connally was hit at least four times: near the right arm pit, under the right nipple with the 5th rib shattered, right wrist, and left thigh.
The Warren Commission claimed that all of these injuries to both men were caused by one single bullet which is widely known by Warren Commission skeptics as The Magic Bullet Theory. My next article in this series will discuss The Magic Bullet Theory in detail and prove why it’s not possible according to the laws of physics.
When you account for all the bullet holes and injuries sustained by both JFK and Governor Connally, it becomes clear that the only scenario that could logically explain all those injuries was there had to be many shooters.
With so much bullet fire, you would think the Secret Service would have done something to stop it, but as we can see in the Zapruder film, they did nothing to help JFK.
There are several Secret Service agents in the Zapruder film, so let’s take a look at what each one does.
At 1:01 in the Zapruder film, Governor Connally reacts for the first time, so we can assume the shooting began right around that point.
It isn’t until 1:11 that the Secret Service agent in the passenger seat, Roy Kellerman, turns around to look behind him and see what’s going on. This is in very slow-motion, so it’s difficult to tell how much time really elapsed. Maybe two seconds or so.
By 1:14, it’s clear that the driver, Secret Service Agent William Greer, is also looking back at JFK.
But instead of going back to help JFK, at 1:16, both William Greer and Roy Kellerman face forward at exactly the same time. The only way this could be possible was if they both had a radio earpiece where someone was giving them instructions. They both know that something is wrong, yet they do nothing.
At the first moment of trouble, Secret Service drivers are taught to speed up and get out of there. You can’t see it very well from this angle, but driver William Greer is actually hitting the brake and slowing the car down.
In essence, he’s making it easier for the shooters so they can have a target that isn’t moving.
Notice also how though neither one of them help JFK, neither one of them duck down in their own seats. It’s almost as if they are fully confident the shooters will not hit them even though they are only a matter of feet from the target.
At 1:20, the driver, William Greer, turns to look at JFK again, yet does nothing again.
Exactly when the kill shot hits JFK at 1:23, William Greer turns back around, faces forward, and hits the gas.
The driver, William Greer, was literally looking at JFK when he was killed. It’s almost as if he was waiting for confirmation that JFK was dead before he gunned it and got out of there.
Yet those are not the only two Secret Service agents who failed in their duties that day.
At 1:22, two Secret Service agents on motorcycles appear to speed up and get right behind the Presidential limousine. What really happened is the driver hit the brake and slowed the Presidential limousine down.
The Secret Service Agents on motorcycles are in the Zapruder film from 1:22 until 1:32 where they fade away out of the view of the camera.
Keep in mind that Governor Connally first reacted at 1:01, which means that the Secret Service Agents who were right there and who were on motorcycles had ample amount of time to catch up to JFK and protect him.
Instead, they did nothing.
They literally let JFK get murdered.
In fact, none of the Secret Service agents who were on motorcycles behind the Presidential limousine made any effort to save JFK.
All of them, together with William Greer and Roy Kellerman let JFK get murdered.
There is no question about it.
The Zapruder film proves it.
The only Secret Service Agent that day who did anything was a Secret Service agent named Clint Hill who was assigned to protect Jackie Kennedy.
At 1:28, you see Clint Hill enter the video and he grabs onto the rear of the Presidential limousine on Jackie Kennedy’s side. It’s clear he’s trying to get to her. He touches her arm in an effort to make sure she doesn’t fall off the limousine.
So, not only do we have JFK being paralyzed by a dart and being killed by a bullet fired from his front, but it’s clear as day that the Secret Service pulled back and assisted in allowing JFK to be murdered.
The actions of the Secret Service as JFK was murdered are inexcusable. They clearly let it happen.
But that wasn’t the way it was supposed to happen.
On pages 41-42 (Kindle Version) of his incredible book Crossfire: The Plot That Killed Kennedy, Author Jim Marrs explains:
“About 12:15 p.m., a young man described as wearing green Army fatigues collapsed at 100 N. Houston, near the front door of the Texas School Book Depository. He apparently suffered some sort of seizure. Dallas policeman D.V. Harkness radioed the police dispatcher to send an ambulance to that location at 12:18 p.m. Radio logs showed that the ambulance, after picking up the victim, radioed, ‘We are en route to Parkland.’ However, Parkland never recorded a patient registering at this time, and the entire incident seemed forgotten.
“Despite the suspicious timing and proximity to the assassination, there is no mention of this incident in the Warren Commission Report and the FBI didn’t get around to investigating it until May 1964.
“And this investigation took place only after a former employee of O’Neal Funeral Home, apparently more curious about the incident than the FBI, called the bureau’s Dallas office to report the incident, adding the patient ‘disappeared’ after arriving at Parkland. The O’Neal caller stated he ‘felt it possible that this incident may have been planned to distract attention from the shooting that was to follow.’
“The FBI detailed their investigation of the matter in Commission Document 1245, which was not included in the Warren Report or its twenty-six volumes.
“Agents contacted the ambulance driver, Aubrey Rike, who said he had picked up a man ‘who was conscious and only slightly injured with a facial laceration.’ Rike added that in the confusion at Parkland, this man had simply walked off. Rike also said a Secret Service agent at Parkland told him to remain there ‘because they might need [his ambulance] to move the President to another location.’ It was Rike who later helped load the president’s body into his ambulance for the sad return to Love Field.
“On May 26, Bureau agents located the ‘victim’ after finding his name in O’Neal records. Jerry B. Belknap had paid his $12.50 ambulance charge back on December 2, 1963. Based on a later FBI report and an interview with Belknap by assassination researcher Jerry D. Rose, the following story came to light: Belknap said he had suffered from seizures since being struck by a car while getting off a school bus as a child. He was standing near the Depository when he stepped back from the crowd and lost consciousness. He said the next thing he knew, a policeman was standing over him.
“Once at Parkland, he was sitting on a small table and, after asking for attention, was told to lie down. He said that a short time later there was a great rush of people who went into a different section of the emergency room. This was the Kennedy party with the stricken president.
“Belknap said a male attendant finally brought him some water and an aspirin but that, after realizing that he was not going to get immediate treatment, he walked out without registering. Amazingly, his exit was accomplished under the noses of security agents who were locking down the hospital. Outside, Belknap caught a bus back downtown, where he first learned of the assassination.
“Intriguingly, Belknap told Rose that he had been interviewed by both Dallas police and the FBI within days of the assassination, months before the FBI’s reported investigation in May 1964. He commented that the two police agencies apparently distrusted each other and both asked him the same questions. Asked about the June 1964 FBI report concerning him, Belknap offered the explanation that perhaps an agent had called him on the phone and simply confirmed the results of the earlier interview. Belknap also stated in 1983 that an investigator from ‘some committee in Washington’ had contacted him within the past few years. However, if this investigator was with the House Select Committee on Assassinations, there is no reference to him in its report or attendant volumes.
“Belknap died in 1986.
“The entire ‘seizure’ episode is strange and full of contradictions and coincidence—Belknap even reported seeing Jack Ruby once ‘acting like a big shot.’ Belknap also said he lost consciousness at the scene, while the FBI report said he didn’t.
“Researchers view the incident as either a strangely convenient coincidence or as some as-yet-undiscovered plot to distract police and bystanders while assassins moved into position just prior to Kennedy’s arrival in Dealey Plaza.
“Ambulance driver Rike, who died in April 2010, told [Jim Marrs] he felt the incident was suspicious because he personally had been summoned to that same location on false calls several times in the days leading up to the assassination. In fact, there may have been more than a dozen such fake calls, a fact not immediately noticed as they were spaced over separate shifts of drivers. All requested an ambulance be sent to the corner of Elm and Houston. ‘We would get these calls for service and I would run up there to the area by the School Book Depository but there would be no one there. This happened up to twelve times in the two weeks preceding the assassination,’ said Rike. ‘It seemed like someone was timing how long it took for an ambulance to get there.’ Rike pointed out that the Kennedy motorcade was running about five minutes late, which meant if it had been on time, it would have arrived at Elm and Houston simultaneously with his ambulance. Speculation was that this would have congested the intersection, causing the Kennedy limousine to stop, making the president a stationary target.”
So, the conspirators were planning on stopping the Presidential motorcade with this ambulance so JFK would be a sitting duck.
The fact that the Presidential motorcade was five minutes late meant the conspirators had to change up their plans. Apparently, that meant having the driver, William Greer, slow down while JFK was being shot.
As I pointed out already, the fact that both William Greer and Roy Kellerman faced forward at exactly the same moment while JFK was being hit with bullets suggests they must have been communicating with someone by radio. They must have had earpieces and someone must have relayed the new plan to them.
If we look at all the evidence in the Zapruder film and from the accounts of witnesses, it’s clear that the kill shot was fired from the Grassy Knoll, not the Texas School Book Depository, which means Lee Harvey Oswald could not have possibly killed JFK.
Furthermore, the fact that the Warren Commission clearly lied on purpose to say that Lee Harvey Oswald was a lone shooter who killed JFK means they were hiding the truth about who really killed JFK.
Only the CIA had a weapon like the umbrella that was likely used in the Zapruder film to shoot a paralyzing dart and immobilize JFK.
Not surprisingly, Allen Dulles, who was a former Director of the CIA and who was fired by President John F. Kennedy after the CIA’s failure at the Bay of Pigs was one of the men chosen by Lyndon B. Johnson to serve on the Warren Commission.
It’s obvious that the Secret Service played an enormous role in allowing JFK to be murdered by not immediately rushing to his aid and not speeding up the Presidential limousine at the first sound of gunfire.
The fake seizure practiced a dozen times and executed at what would have been exactly the right time to slow up the Presidential motorcade also shows signs of foul play.
There’s no doubt that the assassination of JFK and the coverup of the real assassins was an enormous conspiracy undertaken by many people in high and low places.
This is the first article in a series of articles that will clearly lay out what really happened before, during, and after the assassination of JFK. Once you understand everything that really happened, you will know that there was a massive conspiracy to both assassinate JFK and cover up the identities of everyone involved.
The assassination of JFK led directly to the Vietnam War.
The conspirators who murdered JFK drastically changed the trajectory of the history of the United States of America, and thus of the world.
In fact, the conspiracy that took control of the US Presidency that day is still playing out today.
That’s why fully understanding the murder of JFK is so crucial for American citizens and for everyone in the world.
