Introduction to the editing of the home moves known as the Zapruder and the Nix films, taken from opposite sides of Elm Street. Concealment of multiple hits, limo being brought to a halt, the "double hit" theory, optical printing and special effects, blood splatter painted in, blow-out at back of head painted out, can be seen in Frame 374, multiple proofs of film fakery

and the “blood spray”

15. DOUBLE-HIT SLIDE

21. (2) Internal inconsistencies

22. (A) The Head Wound
• The head wound cannot be observed in early frames
• When I reviewed later frames, I found it in Frame 374
• Larry discovered it is outlined by Jackie’s white glove

41. (B) The Sign was Wrongly Replaced
• Comparison of photos of the location and
dimensions of the Stemmons Freeway Sign
reveal it was replaced by misplaced images
• It demonstrates the sign was placed into the
revised film without taking into consideration
the optical distortion of the camera’s lens

48. (C) The all-but-motionless spectators
• Everywhere else on the motorcade,
spectators were waving and cheering
• During this portion of the motorcade,
they were virtually motionless
• The explanation appears to be that the
foreground was taken when the pilot
car passed

53. (3) External inconsistencies

58. (4) Witness inconsistencies

72. (C) Some 60 witnesses to the limo stop
• Some saw it slow dramatically, others saw
it come to a complete stop
• The limo slowed dramatically as it came to
a complete stop
• This was such an obvious indication of SS
complicity that it had to be removed

73. (1) We have more than 60 witnesses who reported seeing the limo slow dramatically or come to a
complete stop, where it slowed dramatically AS it came to a complete stop, See ”What
happened on Elm Street? The Eyewitnesses Speak” compiled by John P. Costella, Ph.D.
(2) We know that, for nearly 50 years, Clint Hill has described climbing on the trunk, pushing Jackie
down, lying across their bodies, peering into the wound, observing a fist-sized blow-out
and giving a “thumbs down”, before the limo had reached the Triple Underpass:
See ”JFK: Who’s telling the truth: Clint Hill or the Zapruder film?”
(3) We know that the original 8mm, already split film developed in Dallas, was taken to the NPIC on
Saturday, the 23rd, and that a substitute 16mm, unsplit film, developed in Rochester,
was taken there on Sunday, the 24th, where two different teams worked on the
different versions: See ”US Government Official: JFK Cover-Up, Film Fabrication”.
(4) We also know a half-dozen or more have viewed another film, apparently the original, including
William Reymond, Rich DellaRosa and others, where Rich DellaRosa’s description of its
content appears as an Appendix to THE GREAT ZAPRDUER FILM HOAX (2003).
(5) We have John Costella’s precise visual tutorial about evidence internal to the film that explains
how we can know that the film is a fabrication, where all of its frames had to be reshot
to create the right sequence of “ghost panels”: See The JFK Assassination Film Hoax: An
Introduction.
(6) We know that they not only removed the limo stop but painted over the blow-out in early frames
and that the “blob” and the blood spray were painted in, but that they overlooked that
in later frames, especially in Frame 374, the blow-out can be seen, as I explain in many
places, including ”What happened to JFK--And why it matters today” (YouTube).

75. (D) Jean Hill and Mary Moorman
• They saw it come to a complete stop
• They were in the street at the time
• They are shown still on the grass

76. Noel asked Roderick Ryan why there background was blurred in frame 302
but not in frame 303, and Ryan explained that the camera was panning the
limo in 302 but not in 303, where it was stationary. On page 159, he added
that he had shown it to his son, who is also in the film industry, and that he
agreed it was moving in 302 but standing still in 303.

80. (E) Witnesses to the other film
• Erwin Swartz
• William Reymond
• Rich DellaRosa
• Gregory Burnham

82. They make four important observations
• The other film includes the turn from Houston onto Elm
• It shows Greer bringing the limousine to an abrupt halt
• During the limousine stop, JFK is hit twice in the head:
• once from behind (and he slumps forward);
• once from in front (and he slumps to the side);
• Greer watches the whole time, then hits the accelerator

84. (F) The Motorcycle Escort Officers
• During the limo stop, he was hit at least twice in
the head
• Officer Baker dismounted his bike and ran
between the cars to the grassy knoll
• Officer Jackson rode his bike up the grassy knoll
• Five Secret Service agents surrounded the
Presidential limousine

91. (5) How the switch was done
• 8mm (already split) film developed in
Dallas taken to the NPIC on Saturday, 23
November 1963, where they had to have
a shop owner open his store to buy an
8mm projector
• 16mm (unsplit) film developed in
Rochester at Hawkeye Works brought to
the NPIC on Sunday, 24 November 1963,
which replaced the original

93. (6) Why it had to be fixed
• JFK was hit at least four times: in the
back from behind, in the throat from
in front, and at least twice in the
head, once from behind and once
from the right-front
• There were at least six shooters who
fired from 8-10 shots (possibly
more)
