(drone noises)
5
00:00:28,366 --> 00:00:34,076
November 22, 1963 the event that shook the world
6
00:00:35,806 --> 00:00:37,923
from Dallas, Texas. The Flash.
7
00:00:38,006 --> 00:00:43,082
Apparently official president
Kennedy died at 01:00 P.M.
8
00:00:43,184 --> 00:00:44,796
Central Standard Time.
9
00:00:48,446 --> 00:00:52,589
Cover ups, mystery and conspiracy draw
10
00:00:52,672 --> 00:00:54,396
a veil over this event.
11
00:00:55,406 --> 00:00:58,002
Clearly. See, he goes like this.
12
00:00:58,144 --> 00:01:00,251
He places something on his right cheek.
13
00:01:00,334 --> 00:01:02,101
He brings the hand down and you
14
00:01:02,184 --> 00:01:04,036
can clearly see right here.
15
00:01:10,606 --> 00:01:13,250
The most highly debated event in history.
16
00:01:13,448 --> 00:01:16,245
Lee Harvey Oswald killed two
17
00:01:16,328 --> 00:01:18,626
people that day on November 22.
18
00:01:18,776 --> 00:01:22,116
The most convoluted assassination of all time.
19
00:01:22,806 --> 00:01:24,226
What are they hiding?
20
00:01:28,646 --> 00:01:30,501
So they told no one that there
21
00:01:30,584 --> 00:01:33,676
was two splices in the Zapruder film.
22
00:01:34,686 --> 00:01:37,091
From a lone gunman to multiple shooters.
23
00:01:37,174 --> 00:01:40,701
The mob and CIA involvement of the President of the
24
00:01:40,784 --> 00:01:41,610
United States.
25
00:01:41,727 --> 00:01:44,026
And this evidence has been altered.
26
00:01:45,086 --> 00:01:48,483
The event that some have dedicated to researching
27
00:01:48,566 --> 00:01:49,594
their entire lives.
28
00:01:49,679 --> 00:01:52,314
They know what happened and they don't care.
29
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,267
Why bother following up on
leads when you know that's
30
00:01:55,350 --> 00:01:56,396
not what happened?
31
00:01:56,684 --> 00:02:00,585
(music intensifies)
32
00:02:09,306 --> 00:02:11,927
(intense music)
33
00:02:24,894 --> 00:02:29,778
(mysterious music)
34
00:03:25,246 --> 00:03:27,026
We have the right to know the truth.
35
00:03:27,366 --> 00:03:29,294
If we don't have the truth,
36
00:03:29,470 --> 00:03:31,147
everything we build on is a lie.
37
00:03:31,230 --> 00:03:33,734
It's like building a building
on a false found nation.
38
00:03:33,910 --> 00:03:35,785
Sooner or later, it's going to crumble.
39
00:03:36,606 --> 00:03:41,530
On October 26, 2017, President Donald Trump,
40
00:03:41,648 --> 00:03:43,882
after promising to release all
41
00:03:43,984 --> 00:03:46,861
of the documents being kept
secret by the government on
42
00:03:46,944 --> 00:03:51,149
the JFK assassination,
suddenly did an about face and
43
00:03:51,232 --> 00:03:53,283
decided to withhold many files
44
00:03:53,366 --> 00:03:56,861
related to the assassination
of the 35th president of
45
00:03:56,944 --> 00:03:57,954
the United States.
46
00:03:58,080 --> 00:03:59,605
President Trump said he had no
47
00:03:59,688 --> 00:04:01,157
choice but to heed warnings from
48
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,645
the CIA and FBI to keep some of the files secret for
49
00:04:04,728 --> 00:04:05,538
further review.
50
00:04:05,672 --> 00:04:07,958
Releasing them unredacted could pose.
51
00:04:08,286 --> 00:04:10,658
Irreversible harm to our national security.
52
00:04:10,792 --> 00:04:12,741
What evidence did he see that
53
00:04:12,824 --> 00:04:14,523
was so important to national
54
00:04:14,606 --> 00:04:16,853
security that he decided even
55
00:04:16,936 --> 00:04:21,435
after 54 years of secrecy,
it was still better to hide
56
00:04:21,518 --> 00:04:24,181
documents about the assassination from the
57
00:04:24,264 --> 00:04:25,170
American people?
58
00:04:25,288 --> 00:04:28,516
What really happened that day so long ago?
59
00:04:32,486 --> 00:04:38,733
On November 22, 1963, the
35th president of the United
60
00:04:38,816 --> 00:04:43,574
States, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, also known as JFK,
61
00:04:43,670 --> 00:04:46,294
and his beautiful wife Jacqueline Kennedy,
62
00:04:46,389 --> 00:04:49,683
also known as Jackie, left Washington, DC.
63
00:04:49,766 --> 00:04:51,574
For a trip to Texas.
64
00:04:51,750 --> 00:04:53,501
Texas was important to his
65
00:04:53,584 --> 00:04:56,454
upcoming 1964 election campaign.
66
00:04:56,630 --> 00:05:00,282
Although his vice president,
Lyndon Baines Johnson,
67
00:05:00,365 --> 00:05:04,725
also known as LBJ, was from Texas, the state was still
68
00:05:04,808 --> 00:05:05,826
up for grabs.
69
00:05:06,806 --> 00:05:07,486
JFK.
70
00:05:08,206 --> 00:05:11,394
And his wife arrived in Fort
Worth where they were met
71
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,054
by jubilant crowds.
72
00:05:13,150 --> 00:05:15,125
They then took a short flight to
73
00:05:15,208 --> 00:05:18,994
Dallas where again the crowds were huge and happy.
74
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,555
But underneath the cheering
and waving from the crowds,
75
00:05:22,638 --> 00:05:26,299
there was also an ominous undertone to the America
76
00:05:26,382 --> 00:05:28,036
of 1963.
77
00:05:28,966 --> 00:05:31,285
There were many dark forces that
78
00:05:31,368 --> 00:05:34,634
were rising up against JFK
and his Attorney general,
79
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,787
who was also his brother Robert
80
00:05:36,870 --> 00:05:39,786
Kennedy, also known as RFK.
81
00:05:40,126 --> 00:05:41,939
Many people in the Central
82
00:05:42,022 --> 00:05:46,131
Intelligence Agency, the
CIA, thought that the Kennedy
83
00:05:46,214 --> 00:05:49,094
brothers had betrayed them
in the Bay of Pigs incident,
84
00:05:49,190 --> 00:05:52,141
in which JFK, withheld support for the
85
00:05:52,224 --> 00:05:54,381
anti-Castro revolutionaries and
86
00:05:54,464 --> 00:05:56,435
their CIA counterparts in Cuba.
87
00:05:56,518 --> 00:06:00,805
I have emphasized before
that this was a struggle of
88
00:06:00,888 --> 00:06:04,306
Cuban patriots against a Cuban dictator.
89
00:06:05,126 --> 00:06:09,266
While we could not be
expected to hide our sympathies.
90
00:06:09,686 --> 00:06:12,421
We made it repeatedly clear that
91
00:06:12,504 --> 00:06:14,402
the armed forces of this country
92
00:06:14,584 --> 00:06:16,836
would not intervene in any way.
93
00:06:17,446 --> 00:06:19,579
After the Bay of Pigs episode,
94
00:06:19,662 --> 00:06:21,605
Kennedy was so upset with the
95
00:06:21,688 --> 00:06:23,650
situation that he famously said,
96
00:06:23,768 --> 00:06:26,725
I want to destroy the CIA and
97
00:06:26,808 --> 00:06:30,245
splinter it into a thousand pieces and scatter it
98
00:06:30,328 --> 00:06:31,586
into the wind.
99
00:06:31,669 --> 00:06:33,157
(machine guns firing)
100
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,342
The Pentagon was ramping up their war in Vietnam,
101
00:06:36,454 --> 00:06:38,157
and Kennedy's announcement of a
102
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,154
troop withdrawal from that war
103
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,462
angered many people in the
military industrial complex,
104
00:06:43,574 --> 00:06:45,325
whose income was threatened by
105
00:06:45,408 --> 00:06:46,845
Kennedy's reticence to get
106
00:06:46,928 --> 00:06:49,115
involved in a foreign civil war.
107
00:06:49,646 --> 00:06:52,342
Many right wing groups hated JFK
108
00:06:52,454 --> 00:06:55,805
for his support of civil rights and his support for
109
00:06:55,888 --> 00:06:57,886
desegregation in the south.
110
00:06:58,006 --> 00:06:59,739
But perhaps most importantly,
111
00:06:59,822 --> 00:07:03,106
Robert Kennedy had angered organized crime.
112
00:07:03,446 --> 00:07:06,356
The picture is an ugly one.
113
00:07:06,726 --> 00:07:07,936
It shows what has been.
114
00:07:08,046 --> 00:07:10,235
Napoli described as a private
115
00:07:10,318 --> 00:07:12,526
government of organized crime.
116
00:07:12,686 --> 00:07:14,325
His relentless pursuit of
117
00:07:14,408 --> 00:07:17,685
organized crime in America
was his primary mission as
118
00:07:17,768 --> 00:07:20,699
Attorney General, he often said evidence
119
00:07:20,782 --> 00:07:24,059
concerning their clandestine
operations is particularly
120
00:07:24,142 --> 00:07:25,262
hard to uncover.
121
00:07:25,374 --> 00:07:28,725
Robert Kennedy touted
the fact that prosecutions for
122
00:07:28,808 --> 00:07:30,299
racketeering by his organized
123
00:07:30,382 --> 00:07:33,645
crime section in the Justice Department rose by
124
00:07:33,728 --> 00:07:36,333
300% above 1961.
125
00:07:36,416 --> 00:07:38,438
Federal investigative agencies
126
00:07:38,582 --> 00:07:40,525
are now pulling information on
127
00:07:40,608 --> 00:07:43,382
more than 1100 major racketeers.
128
00:07:43,494 --> 00:07:45,330
He celebrated the coordination
129
00:07:45,413 --> 00:07:47,242
of the FBI, Secret Service,
130
00:07:47,344 --> 00:07:51,622
IRS and 23 other federal law enforcement agencies.
131
00:07:51,734 --> 00:07:54,621
The organized crime and
racketeering section of the
132
00:07:54,704 --> 00:07:56,198
department's Criminal Division
133
00:07:56,342 --> 00:08:00,133
has been enlarged in
revitalized and it has been given
134
00:08:00,216 --> 00:08:02,405
increasingly powerful help in
135
00:08:02,488 --> 00:08:03,781
prosecuting cases from the
136
00:08:03,864 --> 00:08:06,494
various federal investigative agencies.
137
00:08:06,670 --> 00:08:07,806
Five of the administrative.
138
00:08:08,046 --> 00:08:09,915
Nation's anti racketeering bills
139
00:08:09,998 --> 00:08:13,422
pushed by RFK and passed into law by Congress.
140
00:08:13,534 --> 00:08:15,605
First six months of this year we
141
00:08:15,688 --> 00:08:17,781
secured indictments of 171
142
00:08:17,864 --> 00:08:19,675
racketeering figures compared
143
00:08:19,758 --> 00:08:23,605
with 24 for the same period
three years ago. This year,
144
00:08:23,688 --> 00:08:24,901
the number of convictions was
145
00:08:24,984 --> 00:08:28,356
163. Years ago, it was 35.
146
00:08:28,726 --> 00:08:32,501
Working in coordination
with Senator John McClellan of
147
00:08:32,584 --> 00:08:34,483
Arkansas Robert Kennedy
148
00:08:34,566 --> 00:08:36,819
succeeded in getting Mobster Joe
149
00:08:36,902 --> 00:08:39,021
Vilachi on the stand before the
150
00:08:39,104 --> 00:08:40,845
Senate to not only admit the
151
00:08:40,928 --> 00:08:44,582
existence of the mob but
also its inner machinations.
152
00:08:44,694 --> 00:08:46,061
Thus we have been able to make
153
00:08:46,144 --> 00:08:49,699
inroads into the hierarchy
personnel and operations
154
00:08:49,782 --> 00:08:51,206
of organized crime.
155
00:08:51,365 --> 00:08:54,045
We know that Cosa Nostra is run
156
00:08:54,128 --> 00:08:55,901
by a commission and that the
157
00:08:55,984 --> 00:08:57,645
leaders of Cosa Nostra in most
158
00:08:57,728 --> 00:09:01,006
major cities are responsible to the commission.
159
00:09:01,166 --> 00:09:02,677
We know that membership in the
160
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:04,485
commission varies from nine and
161
00:09:04,568 --> 00:09:06,562
twelve to twelve active members.
162
00:09:06,744 --> 00:09:07,376
And we know.
163
00:09:08,126 --> 00:09:10,996
Who the active members of the commission are today.
164
00:09:11,526 --> 00:09:13,269
We know that in the past two
165
00:09:13,352 --> 00:09:15,259
years at least three carefully
166
00:09:15,342 --> 00:09:17,301
planned commission meetings had
167
00:09:17,384 --> 00:09:20,085
to be called off because
the leaders learned that we
168
00:09:20,168 --> 00:09:22,370
uncovered their well concealed plan.
169
00:09:22,568 --> 00:09:24,565
One has to remember that in the
170
00:09:24,648 --> 00:09:27,061
early 1960s there was not a
171
00:09:27,144 --> 00:09:29,259
mention of the Mob or organized
172
00:09:29,342 --> 00:09:31,003
crime in American culture.
173
00:09:31,086 --> 00:09:34,134
The first director of the FBI, J. Edgar Hoover,
174
00:09:34,230 --> 00:09:36,716
seemed to avoid the subject at all costs.
175
00:09:37,086 --> 00:09:38,941
It was thought by some that the
176
00:09:39,024 --> 00:09:40,845
mob must have had something on
177
00:09:40,928 --> 00:09:44,906
Hoover and that is why he never went after the mob.
178
00:09:46,286 --> 00:09:49,379
Ironically, it was a well-known fact that JFK.
179
00:09:49,462 --> 00:09:52,403
Had been elected because of the help from the mob.
180
00:09:52,486 --> 00:09:55,603
The vote in Illinois, but especially Chicago,
181
00:09:55,686 --> 00:09:57,101
appeared to have been thrown for
182
00:09:57,184 --> 00:09:59,454
Kennedy in the 1960 election.
183
00:09:59,550 --> 00:10:02,523
It is thought that Kennedy's father, Joe Kennedy,
184
00:10:02,606 --> 00:10:04,485
used his mob connections to get
185
00:10:04,568 --> 00:10:06,235
the Chicago organized crime
186
00:10:06,318 --> 00:10:07,726
families to throw the election.
187
00:10:08,206 --> 00:10:09,556
In JFK's favor.
188
00:10:10,326 --> 00:10:14,443
Joe Kennedy made millions
running booze out of Canada
189
00:10:14,526 --> 00:10:15,774
during Prohibition.
190
00:10:15,950 --> 00:10:17,979
Illinois did go for Kennedy,
191
00:10:18,062 --> 00:10:19,675
helping him win the election.
192
00:10:19,758 --> 00:10:20,571
All Americans.
193
00:10:20,654 --> 00:10:23,429
I say that the next four years
194
00:10:23,512 --> 00:10:25,509
are going to be difficult and
195
00:10:25,592 --> 00:10:27,476
challenging years for us all.
196
00:10:28,566 --> 00:10:30,962
The election may have been a close one,
197
00:10:31,144 --> 00:10:33,539
but perhaps the greatest enemy
198
00:10:33,622 --> 00:10:35,674
that JFK's attorney General made
199
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:40,166
was a quiet and shy mobster named Sidney Korshak.
200
00:10:40,326 --> 00:10:43,485
At that time, the FBI called Korshak the most
201
00:10:43,568 --> 00:10:45,594
powerful lawyer in the world.
202
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,323
In the book Super Mob by Gus Russo,
203
00:10:48,406 --> 00:10:50,339
he details how Sidney Korshak
204
00:10:50,422 --> 00:10:54,189
was a major fixer for the
mob both in Chicago and later
205
00:10:54,272 --> 00:10:55,542
in Los Angeles.
206
00:10:55,734 --> 00:11:00,219
Russo reveals that had a
huge influence on Hollywood,
207
00:11:00,302 --> 00:11:02,670
the unions and many politicians.
208
00:11:02,798 --> 00:11:04,437
It was well known that if you
209
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,221
needed something to happen, Sidney Korsach could
210
00:11:07,304 --> 00:11:07,904
make it happen.
211
00:11:08,206 --> 00:11:10,005
As long as you complied with his
212
00:11:10,088 --> 00:11:12,450
usual payment of $50,000
213
00:11:12,568 --> 00:11:13,362
in cash.
214
00:11:13,464 --> 00:11:15,051
Robert Kennedy called Sidney
215
00:11:15,134 --> 00:11:18,069
Korshak to appear before
his committee looking into
216
00:11:18,152 --> 00:11:19,214
organized crime.
217
00:11:19,310 --> 00:11:21,237
Korsack did not like his face to
218
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,645
be seen in public and would
frequently remove film from
219
00:11:24,728 --> 00:11:27,253
cameras by photographers
who had photographed him.
220
00:11:27,336 --> 00:11:30,446
He did not like appearing on national television.
221
00:11:30,606 --> 00:11:32,954
But Kennedy's moves against the mob
222
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,541
but especially the Chicago
mob must have seemed like a
223
00:11:36,624 --> 00:11:40,429
treacherous act of backstabbing
to the mob. After all,
224
00:11:40,512 --> 00:11:42,826
they had helped Kennedy get elected.
225
00:11:42,909 --> 00:11:44,909
(music)
226
00:11:45,086 --> 00:11:46,982
Before the Kennedy brothers,
227
00:11:47,174 --> 00:11:50,554
there had been no major
federal investigations into
228
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:51,946
organized crime.
229
00:11:54,446 --> 00:11:56,198
Since the Kennedy brothers,
230
00:11:56,342 --> 00:11:59,733
there have been no major
federal investigations into
231
00:11:59,816 --> 00:12:01,106
organized crime.
232
00:12:04,166 --> 00:12:07,301
There was a deal struck, and they didn't live up to it.
233
00:12:07,384 --> 00:12:09,515
And Bobby.
Kennedy went even further.
234
00:12:09,598 --> 00:12:11,742
I mean, he started prosecuting the mob.
235
00:12:11,934 --> 00:12:13,294
People were very upset.
236
00:12:13,390 --> 00:12:14,789
The government will never I mean,
237
00:12:14,872 --> 00:12:17,109
all these documents that
are under seal that were never
238
00:12:17,192 --> 00:12:19,397
been released, the government is never going to
239
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:23,285
want to admit to the fact that the mob had a hit on the
240
00:12:23,368 --> 00:12:24,389
President of the United States
241
00:12:24,472 --> 00:12:26,276
and was able to carry it out.
242
00:12:28,086 --> 00:12:29,995
Right wing activist James
243
00:12:30,078 --> 00:12:32,411
Milteer was recorded by an FBI,
244
00:12:32,494 --> 00:12:35,866
informed it in early 1963 saying
245
00:12:36,016 --> 00:12:38,906
that there had been a hit ordered on Kennedy.
246
00:12:44,206 --> 00:12:46,156
The best way would be to get it
247
00:12:47,406 --> 00:12:48,876
from an office building
248
00:12:50,686 --> 00:12:52,026
with a high powered.
249
00:12:53,086 --> 00:12:54,906
You think he knows he's a marked man??
250
00:12:57,566 --> 00:12:58,596
I'm sure he does, yes.
251
00:12:59,206 --> 00:13:01,156
They gonna really try to kill him?
252
00:13:03,286 --> 00:13:05,675
Get this Kennedy. I mean, get this Kennedy.
253
00:13:05,758 --> 00:13:08,596
I'm telling you. Gonna be a
hard conversation, I believe. Me.
254
00:13:09,046 --> 00:13:10,658
You may have it figured out.
255
00:13:10,792 --> 00:13:12,916
How to get him from an office building.
256
00:13:13,446 --> 00:13:14,501
I don't know how.
257
00:13:14,584 --> 00:13:15,413
Them secret Service.
258
00:13:15,496 --> 00:13:17,676
They never cover.
259
00:13:19,366 --> 00:13:21,316
Do you know whether to do that or not?
260
00:13:22,166 --> 00:13:24,756
If they have any suspicion, they would, of course,
261
00:13:30,006 --> 00:13:31,666
take it up in pieces.
262
00:13:32,246 --> 00:13:34,026
Take it out of pieces.
263
00:13:38,766 --> 00:13:39,927
All of these guns come knocked
264
00:13:40,010 --> 00:13:42,683
down. And you take them apart
265
00:13:42,766 --> 00:13:44,476
Boy if Kennedy is getting shot
we got to know where we at.
266
00:13:46,206 --> 00:13:48,636
They'll pick up somebody within hours after
267
00:13:53,966 --> 00:13:57,981
to throw the public off. Yeah, that's right.
268
00:13:58,064 --> 00:13:59,746
Somebody going to have to go to jail.
269
00:14:03,526 --> 00:14:06,981
Forces were rising up against the Kennedys that he
270
00:14:07,064 --> 00:14:07,664
could not control.
271
00:14:08,366 --> 00:14:10,171
Very real threats were beginning
272
00:14:10,254 --> 00:14:12,181
to manifest themselves as the
273
00:14:12,264 --> 00:14:14,971
motorcade left the airport
and made its way to sunny
274
00:14:15,054 --> 00:14:16,174
downtown Dallas.
275
00:14:16,270 --> 00:14:18,933
On that early afternoon of November 22,
276
00:14:19,016 --> 00:14:21,979
1963 with the very real concerns
277
00:14:22,062 --> 00:14:23,941
of many enemies stacking up
278
00:14:24,024 --> 00:14:28,203
against them Kennedy and
his wife were met by thousands
279
00:14:28,286 --> 00:14:29,483
of adoring fans.
280
00:14:29,566 --> 00:14:32,171
It is important to emphasize that JFK.
281
00:14:32,254 --> 00:14:33,779
And his beautiful wife despite
282
00:14:33,862 --> 00:14:35,974
having many deplorable enemies
283
00:14:36,070 --> 00:14:39,196
were absolutely adored by the American public.
284
00:14:39,279 --> 00:14:41,279
(patriotic music)
285
00:14:42,246 --> 00:14:45,042
His limousine contained six people.
286
00:14:45,144 --> 00:14:46,635
The driver and the secret
287
00:14:46,718 --> 00:14:48,245
service agent were in the front
288
00:14:48,328 --> 00:14:50,875
seat. The governor of Texas, John Connolly,
289
00:14:50,958 --> 00:14:53,595
and his wife were in the middle seats and JFK.
290
00:14:53,678 --> 00:14:55,301
And his wife Jackie were in the
291
00:14:55,384 --> 00:14:57,195
back seat. Because it was sunny,
292
00:14:57,278 --> 00:14:58,741
the top had been taken off the
293
00:14:58,824 --> 00:15:01,994
limousine and the six
people were open to the public
294
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:03,996
to be seen by all.
295
00:15:04,526 --> 00:15:07,656
As the limousine drove down Houston Street, it took.
296
00:15:08,126 --> 00:15:10,235
Steep left turn onto Elm Street
297
00:15:10,318 --> 00:15:11,979
and entered Dealey Plaza.
298
00:15:12,062 --> 00:15:15,397
Although the crowds had
been large in Fort Worth and at
299
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:19,045
the airport in Dallas, the
crowd in downtown Dallas at
300
00:15:19,128 --> 00:15:21,790
lunchtime was surprisingly sparse.
301
00:15:21,918 --> 00:15:23,669
Even though there were three
302
00:15:23,752 --> 00:15:28,798
network affiliates in Dallas at that time, ABC, NBC,
303
00:15:28,942 --> 00:15:32,462
CBS all had affiliates in Dallas.
304
00:15:32,574 --> 00:15:35,085
It seems that not one of these
305
00:15:35,168 --> 00:15:36,931
network affiliates sent a camera
306
00:15:37,014 --> 00:15:38,931
person to the parade in Dealey
307
00:15:39,014 --> 00:15:41,859
Plaza to get the president and his wife on film.
308
00:15:41,942 --> 00:15:44,282
It seems odd that there is no
309
00:15:44,384 --> 00:15:48,701
film of the assassination shot by one or all of the
310
00:15:48,784 --> 00:15:49,862
local affiliates.
311
00:15:49,974 --> 00:15:53,395
Given how popular the Kennedys were with crowds,
312
00:15:53,478 --> 00:15:55,398
this is a strange anomaly.
313
00:15:55,542 --> 00:15:58,699
As the limousine slowly drove through the plaza,
314
00:15:58,782 --> 00:16:00,139
something very odd occurred.
315
00:16:00,222 --> 00:16:01,941
Many people witnessed the
316
00:16:02,024 --> 00:16:06,036
president's head exploding
with blood and brain matter.
317
00:16:08,766 --> 00:16:11,419
Before he tumbled into the seat of the limousine.
318
00:16:11,502 --> 00:16:14,725
They saw his wife, Jackie get out of the seat and
319
00:16:14,808 --> 00:16:18,299
apparently retrieve something
from the top of the trunk
320
00:16:18,382 --> 00:16:19,323
of the limousine.
321
00:16:19,406 --> 00:16:21,403
The limousine then speedily
322
00:16:21,486 --> 00:16:23,134
headed toward Parkland Hospital,
323
00:16:23,230 --> 00:16:24,514
about eight minutes away,
324
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:26,354
to tend to the wounded president
325
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,043
after emergency surgery.
326
00:16:28,126 --> 00:16:30,581
JFK is pronounced dead by the
327
00:16:30,664 --> 00:16:32,758
doctors at Parkland Hospital
328
00:16:32,942 --> 00:16:34,963
from Dallas, Texas. The flash,
329
00:16:35,046 --> 00:16:36,954
apparently official president
330
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:40,121
Kennedy died at 01:00 p.m..
331
00:16:40,224 --> 00:16:41,786
Central Standard Time.
332
00:16:41,936 --> 00:16:46,205
The wound to his head was
so devastating that there was
333
00:16:46,288 --> 00:16:49,196
nothing that could be done to save him.
334
00:16:50,046 --> 00:16:52,074
Many people reported seeing
335
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,541
nightclub owner Jack Ruby that
336
00:16:54,624 --> 00:16:56,586
day at Parkland Hospital.
337
00:16:56,926 --> 00:16:59,221
Later that day, a pristine bullet from an
338
00:16:59,304 --> 00:17:01,723
Italian carcano 30 caliber rifle
339
00:17:01,806 --> 00:17:03,163
was found on the stretcher.
340
00:17:03,246 --> 00:17:05,435
ARL inspector, a counselor to the commission,
341
00:17:05,518 --> 00:17:07,856
created the single bullet theory known to.
342
00:17:08,046 --> 00:17:09,934
Critics as the Magic Bullet.
343
00:17:10,030 --> 00:17:12,891
This bullet would later be
known as the Magic bullet.
344
00:17:12,974 --> 00:17:14,661
It was later discovered that the
345
00:17:14,744 --> 00:17:18,779
rifle used in the assassination
was an Italian carcano.
346
00:17:18,862 --> 00:17:20,581
An argument broke out at the
347
00:17:20,664 --> 00:17:22,475
hospital when the Dallas coroner
348
00:17:22,558 --> 00:17:24,197
attempted to take control of the
349
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,942
body of the president to perform an autopsy.
350
00:17:27,054 --> 00:17:29,019
State authorities want to do an autopsy,
351
00:17:29,102 --> 00:17:30,245
which is state law in state
352
00:17:30,328 --> 00:17:34,381
Texas and the federal people wanted to take it back
353
00:17:34,464 --> 00:17:35,866
to Washington DC.
354
00:17:36,206 --> 00:17:37,978
Try to roll the casket out.
355
00:17:38,112 --> 00:17:40,796
Someone would grab it and try to roll it back.
356
00:17:41,246 --> 00:17:43,379
The secret service and the FBI
357
00:17:43,462 --> 00:17:46,899
insisted that the body be taken back to Washington
358
00:17:46,982 --> 00:17:48,774
DC to be autopsied.
359
00:17:48,870 --> 00:17:52,051
The Dallas coroner replied
that he had jurisdiction
360
00:17:52,134 --> 00:17:54,701
over the body, which he did through the
361
00:17:54,784 --> 00:17:55,619
threat of force.
362
00:17:55,702 --> 00:17:57,475
The government won the argument
363
00:17:57,558 --> 00:17:59,269
and FK's body was quickly
364
00:17:59,352 --> 00:18:01,083
whisked away from the hospital
365
00:18:01,166 --> 00:18:04,123
and taken to Air Force One at Dallas airport.
366
00:18:04,206 --> 00:18:05,899
Once back in Washington DC.
367
00:18:05,982 --> 00:18:07,886
The body was taken to Bethesda Naval.
368
00:18:08,206 --> 00:18:10,350
Hospital where it was autopsied.
369
00:18:10,478 --> 00:18:13,701
The autopsy was performed
by doctors who normally did
370
00:18:13,784 --> 00:18:16,635
not do autopsies, who had little forensic science
371
00:18:16,718 --> 00:18:17,662
in their background.
372
00:18:17,774 --> 00:18:20,126
The doctors were career military.
373
00:18:20,286 --> 00:18:22,235
There were admirals and generals
374
00:18:22,318 --> 00:18:25,573
attending the autopsy and
ordering the doctors to stop
375
00:18:25,656 --> 00:18:28,066
particular operations and procedures.
376
00:18:28,726 --> 00:18:32,350
Most experts agree that the autopsy was botched.
377
00:18:32,478 --> 00:18:36,029
The main doctor at the
autopsy burned his notes soon
378
00:18:36,112 --> 00:18:36,838
afterwards.
379
00:18:36,982 --> 00:18:39,174
Three years after the autopsy,
380
00:18:39,270 --> 00:18:41,341
the brain and tissue samples of
381
00:18:41,424 --> 00:18:44,598
the body were stolen from the National Archives.
382
00:18:44,742 --> 00:18:47,978
So somewhere between April of 65
383
00:18:48,112 --> 00:18:52,179
and the end of October 66,
these things were literally
384
00:18:52,262 --> 00:18:54,266
taken, illegally,
385
00:18:54,846 --> 00:18:57,971
stolen, removed from the National
386
00:18:58,054 --> 00:19:00,786
Archives. And to this day, as we sit and talk,
387
00:19:00,936 --> 00:19:02,613
nobody in the United States
388
00:19:02,696 --> 00:19:07,006
government has ever accounted
for these missing items.
389
00:19:07,089 --> 00:19:09,089
(thunder)
390
00:19:09,486 --> 00:19:10,210
Please, sir.
391
00:19:10,328 --> 00:19:12,462
My name is Abraham Zapruder.
392
00:19:12,574 --> 00:19:14,974
Was a tailor and a fan of the Kennedys.
393
00:19:15,070 --> 00:19:17,525
He arrived in Dealey Plaza a few
394
00:19:17,608 --> 00:19:20,565
minutes before the parade
entered with the intention of
395
00:19:20,648 --> 00:19:22,325
filming the president on his
396
00:19:22,408 --> 00:19:24,155
eight millimeter Bell and Howell
397
00:19:24,238 --> 00:19:25,957
movie camera getting up on the
398
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:27,877
ledge near the grassy knoll a
399
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:29,755
few feet away from the Pergola,
400
00:19:29,838 --> 00:19:32,510
which was the centerpiece of the city park.
401
00:19:32,638 --> 00:19:34,397
He pointed his camera at the
402
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:36,122
limousine carrying the president
403
00:19:36,224 --> 00:19:39,725
and his wife and created the most sensational Home
404
00:19:39,808 --> 00:19:41,596
movie of all time.
405
00:19:42,366 --> 00:19:44,458
Being in the perfect position
406
00:19:44,592 --> 00:19:46,314
to film the events that day.
407
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:48,925
His 27 second film shows the
408
00:19:49,008 --> 00:19:52,214
President's limousine
passing through Dealey Plaza,
409
00:19:52,310 --> 00:19:54,291
then going behind the Stemmons
410
00:19:54,374 --> 00:19:57,581
Freeway sign and seconds
later, after emerging from
411
00:19:57,664 --> 00:20:00,741
behind the sign, the apparent assassination of
412
00:20:00,824 --> 00:20:03,636
the 35th President of the United States
413
00:20:04,445 --> 00:20:06,445
(music)
414
00:20:07,126 --> 00:20:07,726
the Dallas.
415
00:20:08,126 --> 00:20:10,501
Police instantly responded to
416
00:20:10,584 --> 00:20:11,858
the killing of the president.
417
00:20:11,992 --> 00:20:14,002
Even though no one had seen
418
00:20:14,104 --> 00:20:17,774
anything happening at the
Texas School Book Depository,
419
00:20:17,870 --> 00:20:20,930
that building became the first object of interest.
420
00:20:21,048 --> 00:20:24,325
Almost immediately, an all point bulletin was sent
421
00:20:24,408 --> 00:20:27,509
out from Dallas police
describing someone who looked
422
00:20:27,592 --> 00:20:29,515
just like Lee Harvey Oswald.
423
00:20:29,598 --> 00:20:31,166
Attention all squad.
424
00:20:31,326 --> 00:20:33,971
The suspect in the shooting at Elm and
425
00:20:34,054 --> 00:20:36,435
Houston is reported to be an unknown white male,
426
00:20:36,518 --> 00:20:41,542
approximately 30, slender
build, height 5ft ten inches,
427
00:20:41,654 --> 00:20:44,406
weight 165 pounds.
428
00:20:44,566 --> 00:20:47,629
Report to be armed with what is thought to be a 30
429
00:20:47,712 --> 00:20:49,382
caliber rifle.
430
00:20:49,494 --> 00:20:51,395
The bulletin also correctly
431
00:20:51,478 --> 00:20:54,285
described the 30 caliber rifle, which had not been
432
00:20:54,368 --> 00:20:55,514
discovered yet.
433
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:57,315
Where this exact description
434
00:20:57,398 --> 00:20:59,605
came from so soon after the
435
00:20:59,688 --> 00:21:02,222
assassination remains a mystery,
436
00:21:02,414 --> 00:21:04,939
possibly because of the police bulletin.
437
00:21:05,022 --> 00:21:09,003
A Dallas police officer
named Jefferson. Davis Tippett,
438
00:21:09,086 --> 00:21:10,645
also known as J. D.
439
00:21:10,728 --> 00:21:12,501
Tippett stopped a man who he
440
00:21:12,584 --> 00:21:14,283
thought was acting suspicious.
441
00:21:14,366 --> 00:21:15,781
The man shot J. D.
442
00:21:15,864 --> 00:21:19,605
Tippett, killing him ironically, or maybe not. J. D.
443
00:21:19,688 --> 00:21:24,386
Tippett's nickname on the
Dallas Police Force was JFK.
444
00:21:26,566 --> 00:21:29,781
Because of his striking resemblance to the
445
00:21:29,864 --> 00:21:30,756
young president.
446
00:21:31,286 --> 00:21:34,355
But there are numerous
discrepancies with the witness
447
00:21:34,438 --> 00:21:36,205
accounts to the murder of J.
448
00:21:36,288 --> 00:21:37,043
D. Tippett.
449
00:21:37,126 --> 00:21:38,845
Witness Helen Markham was
450
00:21:38,928 --> 00:21:42,605
walking down the street when she
saw a man walking in front of her.
451
00:21:42,688 --> 00:21:45,859
A police car pulled up and a discussion ensued.
452
00:21:45,942 --> 00:21:47,581
She said as soon as the
453
00:21:47,664 --> 00:21:51,734
policeman got out of the car
the man shot the policeman
454
00:21:51,830 --> 00:21:52,826
several times.
455
00:21:52,976 --> 00:21:54,925
Markham says that the man she
456
00:21:55,008 --> 00:21:57,923
saw was wearing a light shirt, light brown jacket,
457
00:21:58,006 --> 00:21:59,902
it and light gray trousers.
458
00:22:00,014 --> 00:22:03,157
She says he had light hair and was short and had a
459
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:04,574
ruddy complexion.
460
00:22:04,750 --> 00:22:07,696
Witness Callaway describes the assailant as.
461
00:22:07,956 --> 00:22:09,701
Wearing black trousers and a
462
00:22:09,784 --> 00:22:13,259
light gray windbreaker with
black hair and a very pale
463
00:22:13,342 --> 00:22:15,922
complexion. The man ran away.
464
00:22:16,104 --> 00:22:18,994
Someone, we don't know whom saw a man
465
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:20,510
run into a movie theater.
466
00:22:20,638 --> 00:22:24,034
This unknown person called
police and reported this.
467
00:22:24,120 --> 00:22:25,963
Police entered the movie theater
468
00:22:26,046 --> 00:22:27,611
where they discovered Lee Harvey
469
00:22:27,694 --> 00:22:29,534
Oswald watching the movie.
470
00:22:29,630 --> 00:22:32,581
After a brief struggle, they arrested him for the
471
00:22:32,664 --> 00:22:34,054
murder of Tippit.
472
00:22:34,150 --> 00:22:37,469
They discovered that Oswald
worked at the Texas Book
473
00:22:37,552 --> 00:22:39,651
Depository owned an Italian
474
00:22:39,734 --> 00:22:43,485
caricano rifle exactly as the police bulletin had
475
00:22:43,568 --> 00:22:44,758
earlier described.
476
00:22:44,902 --> 00:22:46,282
I work in that building.
477
00:22:46,384 --> 00:22:48,355
Were you in the building at the time? Naturally,
478
00:22:48,438 --> 00:22:50,568
if I work in that building, yes, sir.
479
00:22:51,006 --> 00:22:52,925
And he soon became the number
480
00:22:53,008 --> 00:22:55,866
one suspect in the Kennedy assassination.
481
00:22:56,286 --> 00:22:58,149
The Dallas police held press
482
00:22:58,232 --> 00:22:59,733
conference that Friday night
483
00:22:59,816 --> 00:23:02,676
presenting Oswald to the world for the first time.
484
00:23:04,006 --> 00:23:05,349
I didn't shoot anybody, sir.
485
00:23:05,432 --> 00:23:06,491
I haven't been told what I'm
486
00:23:06,574 --> 00:23:07,726
here for. You have a lawyer?
487
00:23:08,286 --> 00:23:09,179
No, sir, I don't.
488
00:23:09,262 --> 00:23:12,955
Oswald denied the charge
of murdering Officer Tippit.
489
00:23:13,038 --> 00:23:14,501
And when he was told about the
490
00:23:14,584 --> 00:23:17,029
murder of JFK he denied it and
491
00:23:17,112 --> 00:23:18,763
said he was just a patsy.
492
00:23:18,846 --> 00:23:20,485
Concerning the killing of the
493
00:23:20,568 --> 00:23:23,013
President what the situation is about?
494
00:23:23,096 --> 00:23:26,356
Nobody has told me anything
except that I'm accused of
495
00:23:27,846 --> 00:23:29,426
murdering a policeman.
496
00:23:29,926 --> 00:23:31,413
I know nothing more than that.
497
00:23:31,496 --> 00:23:37,661
I do request to someone to come forward to give me a
498
00:23:37,744 --> 00:23:38,790
legal assistance.
499
00:23:38,918 --> 00:23:40,410
Did you kill the president?
500
00:23:40,608 --> 00:23:42,285
No, I've not been charged with that.
501
00:23:42,368 --> 00:23:44,682
In fact, nobody has said that to me yet.
502
00:23:44,864 --> 00:23:46,141
First thing I heard about it was
503
00:23:46,224 --> 00:23:47,901
when the newspaper reporters in
504
00:23:47,984 --> 00:23:51,114
the hall asked me that question.
505
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:53,996
You have been nobody said what, sir? You have.
506
00:23:56,846 --> 00:23:58,427
Later it would be discovered
507
00:23:58,510 --> 00:24:00,603
that Oswald had lived in Russia
508
00:24:00,686 --> 00:24:02,325
which at the time was the number
509
00:24:02,408 --> 00:24:04,516
one enemy of the United States.
510
00:24:05,526 --> 00:24:07,808
Now they've taken me in because of the fact that.
511
00:24:08,126 --> 00:24:09,646
Lived in the Soviet Union.
512
00:24:09,806 --> 00:24:11,605
He married a Russian woman and
513
00:24:11,688 --> 00:24:13,556
moved back to the United States.
514
00:24:13,926 --> 00:24:16,981
There are a number of
researchers who have reached the
515
00:24:17,064 --> 00:24:20,101
conclusion that Oswald was
working for intelligence and
516
00:24:20,184 --> 00:24:22,546
that he was very likely a spy.
517
00:24:23,126 --> 00:24:26,379
Kennedy's vice President Lyndon Baines Johnson,
518
00:24:26,462 --> 00:24:29,925
also Known as LBJ, was Sworn In as The New
519
00:24:30,008 --> 00:24:33,596
President on Air Force
One before Departing Dallas.
520
00:24:35,886 --> 00:24:39,613
On Sunday morning, November 24, 1963.
521
00:24:39,696 --> 00:24:43,203
As he was being moved from a smaller jail to a larger,
522
00:24:43,286 --> 00:24:47,293
more secure jail, Oswald was gunned down by local
523
00:24:47,376 --> 00:24:49,894
nightclub owner Jack Rubenstein,
524
00:24:49,990 --> 00:24:52,070
also known as Jack Ruby.
525
00:24:52,198 --> 00:24:53,466
There is Leon.
526
00:24:55,406 --> 00:24:57,756
He's been shot. Shut, rang up.
527
00:24:58,566 --> 00:25:00,805
Jack Ruby was from Chicago and
528
00:25:00,888 --> 00:25:05,342
had extensive ties to the Chicago mob. Oswald died,
529
00:25:05,454 --> 00:25:08,836
and the world never heard his side of the story.
530
00:25:09,446 --> 00:25:11,915
These people have given me a hearing without legal
531
00:25:11,998 --> 00:25:13,716
representation or anything.
532
00:25:14,326 --> 00:25:15,413
I didn't shoot anybody.
533
00:25:15,496 --> 00:25:16,116
No sir
534
00:25:18,566 --> 00:25:20,939
Ruby would die of cancer in jail
535
00:25:21,022 --> 00:25:22,290
just a few years later.
536
00:25:22,408 --> 00:25:25,476
Never revealing his story either.
537
00:25:26,246 --> 00:25:28,706
The world will never know the true facts
538
00:25:29,766 --> 00:25:31,902
what occurred my motives.
539
00:25:32,094 --> 00:25:33,821
I'm the only person in the
540
00:25:33,904 --> 00:25:36,262
background that knows the truth
541
00:25:36,454 --> 00:25:39,146
pertaining to everything
relating to my circumstance.
542
00:25:39,646 --> 00:25:41,436
Do you think it'll ever come out?
543
00:25:42,606 --> 00:25:43,836
No.
Because
544
00:25:47,006 --> 00:25:51,066
unfortunately the people that have so much to gain
545
00:25:52,446 --> 00:25:54,746
and have such a material motive
546
00:25:55,966 --> 00:25:57,916
to put me in a position I'm in
547
00:26:00,086 --> 00:26:01,876
we'll never let the true facts
548
00:26:03,606 --> 00:26:06,036
come about to the world.
549
00:26:06,646 --> 00:26:07,856
These people are very.
550
00:26:08,206 --> 00:26:10,116
High positions Jack? yes,
551
00:26:13,846 --> 00:26:17,253
the entire world mourned the loss of the young,
552
00:26:17,336 --> 00:26:18,370
handsome president.
553
00:26:18,488 --> 00:26:21,154
His funeral on Monday, November 25,
554
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:24,596
was viewed by millions of people all over the world.
555
00:26:26,166 --> 00:26:29,061
His wife, her face covered in a veil with
556
00:26:29,144 --> 00:26:31,122
her two young children close by,
557
00:26:31,224 --> 00:26:33,437
watched as the 35th president of
558
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:35,421
the United States was laid to
559
00:26:35,504 --> 00:26:37,946
rest in Arlington Cemetery.
560
00:26:38,446 --> 00:26:40,701
A permanent flame would burn at
561
00:26:40,784 --> 00:26:43,596
the graveside commemorating his life.
562
00:26:44,766 --> 00:26:46,230
Almost immediately,
563
00:26:46,358 --> 00:26:48,045
conspiracies theories started who had
564
00:26:48,128 --> 00:26:50,186
shot the president and why?
565
00:26:50,336 --> 00:26:51,242
The new president.
566
00:26:51,344 --> 00:26:55,043
LBJ tried to ignore the swirling rumors,
567
00:26:55,126 --> 00:26:56,762
but they would not go away.
568
00:26:56,944 --> 00:27:00,059
Finally, after months of continuous pressure,
569
00:27:00,142 --> 00:27:02,245
he gave in and created the
570
00:27:02,328 --> 00:27:04,155
Warren Commission to investigate
571
00:27:04,238 --> 00:27:07,486
the murder headed by Supreme
Court Justice Earl Warren.
572
00:27:08,446 --> 00:27:11,454
The committee spent months
examining the evidence,
573
00:27:11,550 --> 00:27:14,196
speaking to witnesses, and collecting data.
574
00:27:14,566 --> 00:27:17,979
The eight millimeter film
made by Abraham Zapruder,
575
00:27:18,062 --> 00:27:20,315
and hereafter called the Zapruder film,
576
00:27:20,398 --> 00:27:21,621
was one of the key bits of
577
00:27:21,704 --> 00:27:23,454
evidence used by the Commission.
578
00:27:23,550 --> 00:27:25,541
Using the film as a clock or a
579
00:27:25,624 --> 00:27:28,862
timeline coupled with audio taken at the scene,
580
00:27:28,974 --> 00:27:32,325
the Warren Commission
concluded that three shots rang
581
00:27:32,414 --> 00:27:33,602
out that day
582
00:27:34,478 --> 00:27:37,519
(gun shots)
583
00:27:40,206 --> 00:27:43,334
the first hit JFK in the back of the neck.
584
00:27:43,430 --> 00:27:47,222
The second shot missed
completely, and the third shot,
585
00:27:47,334 --> 00:27:51,206
later named the Magic
bullet by conspiracy theorists,
586
00:27:51,366 --> 00:27:54,650
hit Kennedy in the back of the head, spun away,
587
00:27:54,768 --> 00:27:57,516
and then hit Governor Connolly in the back.
588
00:27:58,166 --> 00:28:01,579
The Warren Commission
concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald,
589
00:28:01,662 --> 00:28:04,779
acting alone, used an Italian carcano rifle
590
00:28:04,862 --> 00:28:06,245
to assassinate John F.
591
00:28:06,328 --> 00:28:07,806
Kennedy from the 6th floor.
592
00:28:08,286 --> 00:28:10,276
Of the Book Depository building
593
00:28:16,566 --> 00:28:20,043
an internal memo and the
Warren Commission's documents
594
00:28:20,126 --> 00:28:21,173
contradict this.
595
00:28:21,256 --> 00:28:22,981
The document reports that the
596
00:28:23,064 --> 00:28:24,635
Dallas police had performed
597
00:28:24,718 --> 00:28:27,298
paraffin tests on Oswald's face,
598
00:28:27,432 --> 00:28:31,691
arms and hands soon after the assassination. Chief,
599
00:28:31,774 --> 00:28:33,517
we understand you the results of
600
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:35,005
the paraffin test which are made
601
00:28:35,088 --> 00:28:37,555
to determine whether Oswald had fired a weapon.
602
00:28:37,638 --> 00:28:38,509
What does that mean?
603
00:28:38,592 --> 00:28:40,506
It only means that he fired a gun.
604
00:28:41,726 --> 00:28:44,694
Were there powder burns or
powder marks on his cheek?
605
00:28:44,790 --> 00:28:45,996
I don't know that
606
00:28:47,966 --> 00:28:49,510
he fired a gun.
607
00:28:49,638 --> 00:28:51,494
Not the rifle or the pistol?
608
00:28:51,590 --> 00:28:52,378
That's right.
609
00:28:52,512 --> 00:28:54,835
These tests pick up chemical
610
00:28:54,918 --> 00:28:57,430
traces left behind by gunpowder.
611
00:28:57,558 --> 00:28:59,675
When a spectrographic analysis
612
00:28:59,758 --> 00:29:01,525
was done on the paraffin it was
613
00:29:01,608 --> 00:29:03,509
found that Oswald could not have
614
00:29:03,592 --> 00:29:05,056
fired a rifle that day.
615
00:29:08,286 --> 00:29:10,155
People have been given, but I emphatically deny
616
00:29:10,238 --> 00:29:11,346
these charts.
617
00:29:11,686 --> 00:29:13,845
The unlikely explanation that
618
00:29:13,928 --> 00:29:16,155
Oswald alone was responsible
619
00:29:16,238 --> 00:29:19,796
for the killing only fueled
conspiracy theories more.
620
00:29:20,166 --> 00:29:22,005
While the Warren Commission had
621
00:29:22,088 --> 00:29:25,019
hoped their examination would quiet the rumors,
622
00:29:25,102 --> 00:29:28,866
it actually only made the
theories grow more adamant.
623
00:29:29,206 --> 00:29:31,355
Soon, entire industries would be born
624
00:29:31,438 --> 00:29:32,917
around the assassination will.
625
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:36,541
Books, documentaries, films
and even comic books would
626
00:29:36,624 --> 00:29:39,516
be created questioning the government's line.
627
00:29:39,966 --> 00:29:42,566
Conspiracy theories ran wild.
628
00:29:42,726 --> 00:29:45,011
Many speculations were flying
629
00:29:45,094 --> 00:29:47,462
around. Who killed Kennedy?
630
00:29:47,574 --> 00:29:51,146
Became the number one question on everyone's lips.
631
00:29:54,766 --> 00:29:56,246
Was it the military?
632
00:29:56,406 --> 00:30:00,062
Was it the intelligence
agencies Was it the Russians?
633
00:30:00,174 --> 00:30:01,586
Was it the mob?
634
00:30:03,206 --> 00:30:05,694
Was it right wing hate groups?
635
00:30:05,870 --> 00:30:07,680
Was it the driver of the limousine?
636
00:30:08,126 --> 00:30:11,163
Hours and hours were spent arguing and discussing
637
00:30:11,246 --> 00:30:12,466
all of these issues.
638
00:30:12,616 --> 00:30:15,851
Hollywood even explored
all of this in the hit movie
639
00:30:15,934 --> 00:30:19,586
Oliver Stone's JFK, starring Kevin Costner.
640
00:30:23,286 --> 00:30:24,596
How are you?
641
00:30:25,286 --> 00:30:28,738
The Zapruder film became
the main center of interest.
642
00:30:28,872 --> 00:30:30,699
Life printed many of the frames
643
00:30:30,782 --> 00:30:32,235
from the film and the November
644
00:30:32,318 --> 00:30:35,382
29, 1963 issue of the magazine.
645
00:30:35,494 --> 00:30:38,518
Just seven days after the assassination,
646
00:30:38,662 --> 00:30:41,965
life kept the film under wraps and refused to show
647
00:30:42,048 --> 00:30:42,810
it to anyone.
648
00:30:42,928 --> 00:30:45,859
A copy of the film was smuggled out of Life magazine
649
00:30:45,942 --> 00:30:49,501
in the late 1960s, eventually being shown on
650
00:30:49,584 --> 00:30:51,571
national television on Geraldo
651
00:30:51,654 --> 00:30:53,763
Rivera's show Goodnight America.
652
00:30:53,846 --> 00:30:57,885
On March 6, 1975, almost twelve years after
653
00:30:57,968 --> 00:31:01,435
the assassination, the nation viewed the film
654
00:31:01,518 --> 00:31:03,714
for the first time, and it shocked the world.
655
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,299
There was JFK and his wife in a limousine,
656
00:31:06,382 --> 00:31:07,726
rolling through Dealey plaza.
657
00:31:08,206 --> 00:31:11,330
Then, a few seconds after
passing by the freeway sign,
658
00:31:11,448 --> 00:31:14,174
JFK's head is seen to explode.
659
00:31:14,270 --> 00:31:16,642
His body moves back and to the left.
660
00:31:16,744 --> 00:31:18,741
His body quickly falls into the
661
00:31:18,824 --> 00:31:21,877
seat of the car as Jackie springs up and moves to the
662
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:25,461
trunk of the limousine,
seemingly in a panic over the
663
00:31:25,544 --> 00:31:28,539
shooting. There she is, met by Clint Hill,
664
00:31:28,622 --> 00:31:30,130
a secret service agent.
665
00:31:30,248 --> 00:31:32,523
Jackie then moves back to her seat.
666
00:31:32,606 --> 00:31:34,636
As the limousine speeds away,
667
00:31:35,886 --> 00:31:37,731
it is difficult to exaggerate
668
00:31:37,814 --> 00:31:40,781
the effect that showing the Zupruder film had on
669
00:31:40,864 --> 00:31:41,978
the United States.
670
00:31:42,112 --> 00:31:43,789
It was all anyone was talking
671
00:31:43,872 --> 00:31:45,475
about. Everyone was upset.
672
00:31:45,558 --> 00:31:47,565
They had been told that the president had been
673
00:31:47,648 --> 00:31:50,781
shot from behind, but the film looked like the
674
00:31:50,864 --> 00:31:53,066
shot came from Kennedy's right side.
675
00:31:53,216 --> 00:31:55,734
With the entire country up in arms,
676
00:31:55,830 --> 00:31:58,325
congress ordered a new commission to look into
677
00:31:58,408 --> 00:32:00,014
the JFK assassination.
678
00:32:00,110 --> 00:32:03,954
New rounds of books, films
and talk shows would begin,
679
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,686
with even more conspiracy theories being touted.
680
00:32:07,212 --> 00:32:09,861
The consipracy industry grew by leaps and
681
00:32:09,944 --> 00:32:13,330
bounds until it became a
normal part of the American
682
00:32:13,448 --> 00:32:14,990
cultural landscape.
683
00:32:15,118 --> 00:32:17,909
Whole groups of people
were consumed by the question
684
00:32:17,992 --> 00:32:19,966
of who killed JFK.
685
00:32:20,126 --> 00:32:23,029
A lot of money was made by publishers selling every
686
00:32:23,112 --> 00:32:24,606
kind of conspiracy.
687
00:32:24,766 --> 00:32:26,603
Soon after the assassination,
688
00:32:26,686 --> 00:32:28,389
many members of the mob or
689
00:32:28,472 --> 00:32:31,605
organized crime were asked
if they knew who killed the
690
00:32:31,688 --> 00:32:34,355
president. They responded, by pointing fingers
691
00:32:34,438 --> 00:32:36,845
at other mobsters, saying that it must have
692
00:32:36,928 --> 00:32:38,986
been them that did it.
693
00:32:39,136 --> 00:32:40,915
No one was copping to knowing
694
00:32:40,998 --> 00:32:44,045
exactly who made the
decision to pull the trigger and
695
00:32:44,128 --> 00:32:45,116
kill the president.
696
00:32:45,199 --> 00:32:46,203
(gun shot)
697
00:32:46,286 --> 00:32:48,061
Conspiracy theorists pointed out
698
00:32:48,144 --> 00:32:50,035
that the FBI must be involved
699
00:32:50,118 --> 00:32:53,341
also because it failed to follow up on many leads in
700
00:32:53,424 --> 00:32:54,694
the assassination.
701
00:32:54,870 --> 00:32:56,925
Why was the FBI ignoring the
702
00:32:57,008 --> 00:32:59,893
mountain of evidence that
the conspiracy community
703
00:32:59,976 --> 00:33:00,763
had gathered?
704
00:33:00,846 --> 00:33:03,781
The FBI had taken over the investigation from the
705
00:33:03,864 --> 00:33:06,619
Dallas police, and they seemed uninterested
706
00:33:06,702 --> 00:33:07,696
in following up on.
707
00:33:08,046 --> 00:33:09,643
Most of theories and evidence
708
00:33:09,726 --> 00:33:12,443
being put forth by private investigators.
709
00:33:12,526 --> 00:33:14,443
It was as if the investigation
710
00:33:14,526 --> 00:33:17,419
was over with the findings
of the Warren Commission
711
00:33:17,502 --> 00:33:18,453
and that was it.
712
00:33:18,536 --> 00:33:20,242
They would spend no more time
713
00:33:20,344 --> 00:33:23,589
after that looking into the killing. Of course,
714
00:33:23,672 --> 00:33:25,339
all lack of interest in further
715
00:33:25,422 --> 00:33:27,794
investigation by the FBI only
716
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,046
fueled more conspiracy theories.
717
00:33:30,206 --> 00:33:32,859
Was the FBI involved in the cover up of the murder?
718
00:33:32,942 --> 00:33:34,138
Murder of the president.
719
00:33:34,272 --> 00:33:36,170
It seemed like it might be true.
720
00:33:36,288 --> 00:33:37,629
It was well known that J.
721
00:33:37,712 --> 00:33:40,323
Edgar Hoover, the director of the FBI,
722
00:33:40,406 --> 00:33:41,542
hated the Kennedys.
723
00:33:41,654 --> 00:33:44,426
Was he involved somehow in the murder?
724
00:33:44,846 --> 00:33:46,605
There is a film taken that day
725
00:33:46,688 --> 00:33:48,675
at Dealey Plaza where it appears
726
00:33:48,758 --> 00:33:50,173
that the Secret Service agents
727
00:33:50,256 --> 00:33:52,019
who were there to protect JFK
728
00:33:52,102 --> 00:33:53,341
and the other occupants of the
729
00:33:53,424 --> 00:33:55,229
limousine seemingly being told
730
00:33:55,312 --> 00:33:58,106
to stay back from the car by their superiors.
731
00:33:58,406 --> 00:34:00,251
Was it possible that the Secret
732
00:34:00,334 --> 00:34:03,621
Service was also involved
in a conspiracy to have the
733
00:34:03,704 --> 00:34:04,866
President shot?
734
00:34:06,726 --> 00:34:07,886
Many people have pointed.
735
00:34:08,126 --> 00:34:10,773
Out the lack of security at Dealey Plaza that day.
736
00:34:10,856 --> 00:34:13,275
With open office windows in the buildings,
737
00:34:13,358 --> 00:34:15,093
it was as if the Secret Service
738
00:34:15,176 --> 00:34:17,666
had neglected to do their duty that day.
739
00:34:17,816 --> 00:34:19,509
This lack of interest by the law
740
00:34:19,592 --> 00:34:21,403
enforcement community shattered
741
00:34:21,486 --> 00:34:24,445
many people's faith in the country's institutions.
742
00:34:24,606 --> 00:34:27,915
It has been said that the
Kennedy assassination created
743
00:34:27,998 --> 00:34:31,445
a despair among Americans,
causing them to lose their
744
00:34:31,528 --> 00:34:33,619
optimistic attitude and impossibly.
745
00:34:33,702 --> 00:34:35,971
America never really recovered
746
00:34:36,054 --> 00:34:37,853
his sense of place in the world
747
00:34:37,936 --> 00:34:39,974
after Kennedy left the scene.
748
00:34:40,150 --> 00:34:43,675
It has been a long fall downwards ever since.
749
00:34:44,126 --> 00:34:47,565
After almost 60 years,
and the assassination is still
750
00:34:47,648 --> 00:34:52,915
not solved. In 1997, JFK researcher James Fetzer
751
00:34:52,998 --> 00:34:56,291
headed a symposium of
well known researchers to examine
752
00:34:56,374 --> 00:34:57,458
the Zapruder film.
753
00:34:57,541 --> 00:34:59,130
It was the first full scale
754
00:34:59,213 --> 00:35:01,057
examination of the film itself
755
00:35:01,191 --> 00:35:02,869
and what it contained. Later,
756
00:35:02,952 --> 00:35:05,925
a book would come from this
symposium called the Great
757
00:35:06,008 --> 00:35:07,776
Zebruder Film Hoax. The.
758
00:35:08,126 --> 00:35:09,845
Very talented researchers gave
759
00:35:09,928 --> 00:35:12,059
the film its closest examination
760
00:35:12,142 --> 00:35:15,374
ever and they concluded that the film is a hoax.
761
00:35:15,550 --> 00:35:18,203
They can't quite explain why it is a hoax,
762
00:35:18,286 --> 00:35:20,165
but they came up against enough high,
763
00:35:20,248 --> 00:35:21,982
strangeness and anomalies
764
00:35:22,094 --> 00:35:23,941
concerning the film to reach the
765
00:35:24,024 --> 00:35:26,802
conclusion that something was very wrong.
766
00:35:26,984 --> 00:35:29,845
Some of the researchers
speculate that the film looks
767
00:35:29,928 --> 00:35:32,485
like it was put through an optical printer and
768
00:35:32,568 --> 00:35:33,894
somehow altered.
769
00:35:33,990 --> 00:35:35,485
Others in the book think that
770
00:35:35,568 --> 00:35:38,378
the film has been airbrushed to hide things.
771
00:35:38,512 --> 00:35:41,395
Great lengths are gone to prove the film is a hoax,
772
00:35:41,478 --> 00:35:44,902
but nothing that is presented actually sticks.
773
00:35:45,014 --> 00:35:47,994
That is not to say that
everything they found is wrong,
774
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:48,909
far from it.
775
00:35:48,992 --> 00:35:50,733
Many of the things that these
776
00:35:50,816 --> 00:35:52,854
very good researchers discovered
777
00:35:52,950 --> 00:35:55,773
has merit, as we shall see.
778
00:35:55,856 --> 00:35:58,702
They misinterpret this odd evidence.
779
00:35:58,814 --> 00:36:00,354
One of the largest problems
780
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:03,189
working with the Zapruder
film is that there were no
781
00:36:03,272 --> 00:36:04,453
good prints of it.
782
00:36:04,536 --> 00:36:07,856
All the purloined films were
copies of copies and they.
783
00:36:08,046 --> 00:36:11,154
A massive grain buildup, making the film difficult
784
00:36:11,240 --> 00:36:11,842
to view.
785
00:36:11,944 --> 00:36:14,821
This was cleared up slightly with the release of
786
00:36:14,904 --> 00:36:17,202
the DVD in 1997.
787
00:36:17,304 --> 00:36:20,254
But even that copy was filled with imperfections.
788
00:36:20,350 --> 00:36:23,874
As James Fetzer has pointed out in recent years,
789
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:25,685
technology has been created that
790
00:36:25,768 --> 00:36:27,605
allows filmmakers to take very
791
00:36:27,688 --> 00:36:29,781
old films and process them to
792
00:36:29,864 --> 00:36:34,214
get rid of flaws of age and time fading scratches.
793
00:36:34,310 --> 00:36:36,109
These technologies can even fill
794
00:36:36,192 --> 00:36:38,134
in lost and missing frames.
795
00:36:38,230 --> 00:36:41,555
Many old films are being
saved by this newly emerging
796
00:36:41,638 --> 00:36:42,238
technology.
797
00:36:42,766 --> 00:36:45,635
What would happen if the
Zapruder film was recreated
798
00:36:45,718 --> 00:36:47,196
using this new technology?
799
00:36:47,806 --> 00:36:49,885
Jay Weidner is a filmmaker and
800
00:36:49,968 --> 00:36:53,322
writer and has been making films for over 50 years.
801
00:36:53,424 --> 00:36:55,661
He has been involved in over a
802
00:36:55,744 --> 00:36:57,283
thousand hours of production.
803
00:36:57,366 --> 00:37:00,379
He is also so very familiar
with the physical effects
804
00:37:00,462 --> 00:37:01,746
used in movies.
805
00:37:02,646 --> 00:37:05,826
We asked him to look at the Zapruder film.
806
00:37:08,535 --> 00:37:10,535
(mysterious music)
807
00:38:04,026 --> 00:38:07,866
I not only made films, but I was an expert on physical.
808
00:38:08,286 --> 00:38:11,474
Effects been making films for over 50 years.
809
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:14,219
And what we call in the camera effects,
810
00:38:14,302 --> 00:38:16,526
a person will have a car accident.
811
00:38:16,686 --> 00:38:18,331
And so you have a real car accident.
812
00:38:18,414 --> 00:38:20,194
You have two cars that run into each other.
813
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:21,618
That's a physical effect.
814
00:38:21,752 --> 00:38:23,413
There's nothing done in post.
815
00:38:23,496 --> 00:38:24,638
It's not digital.
816
00:38:24,782 --> 00:38:27,054
The cars are really getting wrecked.
817
00:38:27,150 --> 00:38:29,796
Same thing with a person falling from a building.
818
00:38:30,486 --> 00:38:31,851
You don't see them hit the ground,
819
00:38:31,934 --> 00:38:33,027
but they fall onto a bunch bunch
820
00:38:33,110 --> 00:38:34,419
of boxes or mattresses.
821
00:38:34,502 --> 00:38:36,029
That's what a physical effect is.
822
00:38:36,112 --> 00:38:37,965
And so physical effects are now
823
00:38:38,048 --> 00:38:39,725
kind of going by the wayside as
824
00:38:39,808 --> 00:38:41,085
digital effects are taking over.
825
00:38:41,168 --> 00:38:42,838
They're cheaper, safer.
826
00:38:42,982 --> 00:38:44,854
My knowledge of physical effects
827
00:38:44,950 --> 00:38:47,645
gave me a peculiar ability to
828
00:38:47,728 --> 00:38:51,021
see things in the Zapruder film that I think a lot of
829
00:38:51,104 --> 00:38:52,202
other people miss.
830
00:38:52,384 --> 00:38:55,910
A lot of experts and conspiracy researchers.
831
00:38:56,038 --> 00:39:00,516
If there's a splice in a film,
that means that probably
832
00:39:01,446 --> 00:39:03,685
something has been altered and
833
00:39:03,768 --> 00:39:05,250
they're trying to remove it.
834
00:39:05,368 --> 00:39:07,806
So there is a splice in the Zapruder film.
835
00:39:08,126 --> 00:39:09,979
There's two splices in the Zapruder film.
836
00:39:10,062 --> 00:39:13,182
Time Life magazine, which owned the Zapruder film,
837
00:39:13,294 --> 00:39:15,342
did not tell the Warren Commission,
838
00:39:15,454 --> 00:39:18,123
when they gave them a copy of the Zapruder film,
839
00:39:18,206 --> 00:39:20,789
that there were two splices in it. Now,
840
00:39:20,872 --> 00:39:22,981
this is evidence being used in
841
00:39:23,064 --> 00:39:25,330
the murder of the President of the United States.
842
00:39:25,448 --> 00:39:27,678
And this evidence has been altered.
843
00:39:27,822 --> 00:39:30,962
There's five frames missing from
844
00:39:31,144 --> 00:39:34,458
the Zebruder film at splice 212
845
00:39:34,592 --> 00:39:36,989
Earth. Frames 207, 208,209,
846
00:39:37,072 --> 00:39:42,579
210 and 211 are missing from the Zapruder film.
847
00:39:42,662 --> 00:39:44,838
And this is obstruction of justice.
848
00:39:44,982 --> 00:39:48,301
This is interfering with
evidence, interfering with an
849
00:39:48,384 --> 00:39:49,318
investigation.
850
00:39:49,462 --> 00:39:51,731
They have to tell the Warren
851
00:39:51,814 --> 00:39:54,243
Commission that there's two splices in that film.
852
00:39:54,326 --> 00:39:55,411
They have to tell the Warren
853
00:39:55,494 --> 00:39:57,971
Commission exactly how those two splices occurred.
854
00:39:58,054 --> 00:40:00,789
And who was responsible for it.
855
00:40:00,872 --> 00:40:02,181
We do not know the name of the
856
00:40:02,264 --> 00:40:06,142
technician who caused the damage. And furthermore,
857
00:40:06,254 --> 00:40:07,536
it took them four years.
858
00:40:08,526 --> 00:40:10,549
After the assassination for Time
859
00:40:10,632 --> 00:40:11,925
Life to admit there was any
860
00:40:12,008 --> 00:40:14,075
splices in the Zapruder film.
861
00:40:14,158 --> 00:40:16,590
I considered it an egregious
862
00:40:16,718 --> 00:40:20,830
crime that Time Life, first off, did the splice,
863
00:40:20,958 --> 00:40:23,189
and then secondly, didn't tell us about it.
864
00:40:23,272 --> 00:40:25,074
Didn't tell the Warren Commission about it.
865
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:27,234
And the Warren Commission used
866
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:29,944
the Zapruder film as their timeline, their clock.
867
00:40:30,173 --> 00:40:31,700
So even your clock is screwed up.
868
00:40:31,783 --> 00:40:33,361
It's missing by a quarter of a second.
869
00:40:33,463 --> 00:40:35,620
At least time Life has to tell
870
00:40:35,703 --> 00:40:36,980
the Warren Commission that the
871
00:40:37,063 --> 00:40:38,283
Zapruder film has been altered.
872
00:40:40,885 --> 00:40:45,473
However, this slice at 212, at frame 212 is a very
873
00:40:45,559 --> 00:40:46,941
convenient splice.
874
00:40:47,053 --> 00:40:51,220
It occurs exactly when JFK's
limousine goes behind the
875
00:40:51,303 --> 00:40:52,833
STEMMINs Freeway sign.
876
00:40:52,999 --> 00:40:56,549
So researcher Fred Newcomb, who is a JFK researcher,
877
00:40:56,677 --> 00:40:59,260
he did an examination of
the Zapruder film and he was
878
00:40:59,343 --> 00:41:01,561
fascinated by the splice, as I was,
879
00:41:01,663 --> 00:41:04,821
and he did a color balance reading on the Film.
880
00:41:04,933 --> 00:41:06,153
He noticed there was definitely
881
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:09,509
a color balance change in the film after the Splice.
882
00:41:09,637 --> 00:41:10,908
He noticed that that color
883
00:41:10,991 --> 00:41:14,284
balance was a bluer hue than the
884
00:41:14,367 --> 00:41:16,741
redder hue before the Splice.
885
00:41:16,933 --> 00:41:22,578
What that tells me is that
Zapruder was using daylight
886
00:41:22,661 --> 00:41:23,829
Kodacrome film.
887
00:41:23,957 --> 00:41:27,202
Kodak made two kinds of film for Kodacrome.
888
00:41:27,285 --> 00:41:29,196
They made daylight Kodacrome and
889
00:41:29,279 --> 00:41:30,922
they made indoor Kodacrome.
890
00:41:31,005 --> 00:41:32,644
The daylight Kodochrome is more
891
00:41:32,727 --> 00:41:33,969
balanced towards the red.
892
00:41:34,087 --> 00:41:37,345
The indoor Kodacrome is
more balanced towards the blue.
893
00:41:37,765 --> 00:41:39,780
Fred Newcomb finding that the
894
00:41:39,863 --> 00:41:41,140
color balance has shifted to
895
00:41:41,223 --> 00:41:43,041
blue after the Splice tells me
896
00:41:43,143 --> 00:41:44,996
that all the film after the
897
00:41:45,079 --> 00:41:46,340
Splice has been run through some
898
00:41:46,423 --> 00:41:48,753
kind of optical printer because
899
00:41:48,919 --> 00:41:51,524
the light that's used in an optical printer is
900
00:41:51,607 --> 00:41:52,513
an indoor light.
901
00:41:52,599 --> 00:41:53,748
Therefore you'd want to use
902
00:41:53,831 --> 00:41:56,505
indoor Kodachrome for your copy.
903
00:41:58,205 --> 00:42:00,844
The Lord caused his face to shine upon you and
904
00:42:00,927 --> 00:42:01,634
give you peace.
905
00:42:01,717 --> 00:42:04,157
Both now so the Kennedys fly from.
906
00:42:04,565 --> 00:42:06,901
To Fort Worth for a meeting.
907
00:42:07,013 --> 00:42:08,508
When they landed in Fort Worth,
908
00:42:08,591 --> 00:42:09,932
at the airport at Fort Worth,
909
00:42:10,015 --> 00:42:11,769
there are literally thousands of people.
910
00:42:11,887 --> 00:42:15,449
It was like the Beatles first
landing in New York City.
911
00:42:15,567 --> 00:42:16,955
It was that crazy.
912
00:42:17,325 --> 00:42:18,844
People were screaming and
913
00:42:18,927 --> 00:42:21,660
cheering and must have made the
914
00:42:21,743 --> 00:42:23,308
Kennedys actually very happy,
915
00:42:23,391 --> 00:42:26,053
because it was an incredibly jubilant crowd.
916
00:42:26,149 --> 00:42:27,804
And then later they took a short
917
00:42:27,887 --> 00:42:29,834
flight from Fort Worth, to Dallas.
918
00:42:29,917 --> 00:42:31,905
And at the airport at Dallas again,
919
00:42:32,055 --> 00:42:34,970
there's thousands of people
screaming and cheering,
920
00:42:35,053 --> 00:42:36,980
and everybody's really happy and
921
00:42:37,063 --> 00:42:38,753
the Kennedys are really happy.
922
00:42:38,919 --> 00:42:43,140
And then they take their
limousine to go extensively to
923
00:42:43,223 --> 00:42:44,842
Dealey Plaza, to the parade.
924
00:42:44,925 --> 00:42:46,404
And we can see there's no more
925
00:42:46,487 --> 00:42:48,529
than maybe 100 to 200 people.
926
00:42:48,647 --> 00:42:49,661
It's lunchtime.
927
00:42:49,773 --> 00:42:51,258
Sunny day in Dallas.
928
00:42:51,341 --> 00:42:52,522
Downtown Dallas.
929
00:42:52,605 --> 00:42:54,780
There's literally thousands
of people working in the
930
00:42:54,863 --> 00:42:57,490
office buildings, and yet they can only muster
931
00:42:57,573 --> 00:43:01,810
up a couple of hundred,
maybe people to watch the rock
932
00:43:01,893 --> 00:43:03,815
star president and his wife and then.
933
00:43:04,565 --> 00:43:06,265
The Splice at 212.
934
00:43:06,415 --> 00:43:09,170
We hardly see anyone in Dealy
935
00:43:09,253 --> 00:43:12,009
Plaza watching the president,
936
00:43:12,127 --> 00:43:13,484
maybe eight people or nine
937
00:43:13,567 --> 00:43:16,802
people behind him in that
little park behind the limo.
938
00:43:16,885 --> 00:43:18,185
But that's all we see.
939
00:43:18,335 --> 00:43:21,020
It's not only the crowd that did a vanishing act here
940
00:43:21,103 --> 00:43:24,018
in Dealey Plaza, but Dallas had three network
941
00:43:24,101 --> 00:43:27,621
affiliates. They had NBC, CBS, and ABC,
942
00:43:27,733 --> 00:43:29,969
and they did the vanishing act too.
943
00:43:30,087 --> 00:43:32,657
It's absolutely stunning that
944
00:43:32,791 --> 00:43:34,634
neither of those three networks
945
00:43:34,717 --> 00:43:37,188
with affiliates in Dallas would
946
00:43:37,271 --> 00:43:41,441
not have sent a cameraman
down to film the president,
947
00:43:41,543 --> 00:43:43,754
the rock star president, and his wife,
948
00:43:43,837 --> 00:43:44,842
his beautiful wife.
949
00:43:44,925 --> 00:43:48,180
But they didn't. Otherwise, we'd have four films of
950
00:43:48,263 --> 00:43:48,970
the assassination.
951
00:43:49,053 --> 00:43:51,178
We'd have Zapruder and then the ABC.
952
00:43:51,261 --> 00:43:53,293
The CBS and the NBC cameraman
953
00:43:53,389 --> 00:43:54,930
would be would have their film,
954
00:43:55,013 --> 00:43:58,377
too. But we don't. But they did.
955
00:43:58,511 --> 00:43:59,842
There is a cameraman.
956
00:43:59,925 --> 00:44:01,842
He's clearly a news cameraman.
957
00:44:01,925 --> 00:44:03,765
He has a 16 millimeter Bolex.
958
00:44:04,485 --> 00:44:06,405
And he's filming bystanders
959
00:44:06,565 --> 00:44:08,661
right after the assassination.
960
00:44:08,773 --> 00:44:11,500
Why wasn't this cameraman
shooting the parade which
961
00:44:11,583 --> 00:44:12,713
is right behind him?
962
00:44:12,799 --> 00:44:13,634
But he doesn't.
963
00:44:13,717 --> 00:44:17,180
He shoots the bystanders
who are panicking because of
964
00:44:17,263 --> 00:44:18,585
the assassination.
965
00:44:20,845 --> 00:44:22,988
I'd seen the Zapruder film many times,
966
00:44:23,071 --> 00:44:25,029
but they're all low quality versions.
967
00:44:25,157 --> 00:44:27,954
All of the copies of the
Zapruder film were terrible.
968
00:44:28,037 --> 00:44:31,018
There are copies of copies and high grain.
969
00:44:31,101 --> 00:44:34,253
And it was almost like watching
like an Impressionistic painting.
970
00:44:34,349 --> 00:44:35,780
You could kind of detach your
971
00:44:35,863 --> 00:44:37,956
own interpretation of what you
972
00:44:38,039 --> 00:44:39,956
were seeing because you
really couldn't understand what
973
00:44:40,039 --> 00:44:40,961
it was you're seeing.
974
00:44:41,063 --> 00:44:43,252
But eventually I did get a high
975
00:44:43,335 --> 00:44:46,708
quality copy of the Zapruder film and I watched it.
976
00:44:46,791 --> 00:44:49,825
So there's two versions of the Zapruder film.
977
00:44:50,245 --> 00:44:52,634
The government version, the official version.
978
00:44:52,717 --> 00:44:55,500
The Warren Commission version says John F.
979
00:44:55,583 --> 00:44:57,644
Kennedy's limo emerges from
980
00:44:57,727 --> 00:45:00,715
behind the STEMMINs Freeway sign
981
00:45:01,325 --> 00:45:03,845
Lee Harvey Oswald from the 6th floor.
982
00:45:04,485 --> 00:45:07,074
Book Depository, uses a high powered rifle,
983
00:45:07,157 --> 00:45:07,884
shoots John F.
984
00:45:07,967 --> 00:45:09,865
Kennedy in the back of the neck.
985
00:45:10,925 --> 00:45:14,988
A couple seconds later, he
gets off another round and
986
00:45:15,071 --> 00:45:17,595
shoots Kennedy in the back of the head.
987
00:45:18,125 --> 00:45:20,089
He fires a round in between
988
00:45:20,207 --> 00:45:22,373
those two shots that misses.
989
00:45:22,469 --> 00:45:24,153
This is the official government
990
00:45:24,239 --> 00:45:27,353
line. Three shots, two hit, one miss.
991
00:45:27,519 --> 00:45:29,465
A bold action rifle
992
00:45:30,195 --> 00:45:32,679
(mimicks gun cocking)
993
00:45:33,445 --> 00:45:37,155
in 6 seconds three times is
994
00:45:38,245 --> 00:45:40,545
unbelievable. Period.
995
00:45:42,245 --> 00:45:44,289
The conspiracy theorists say
996
00:45:44,407 --> 00:45:47,690
that as the limousine emerges
from behind the Stemmans
997
00:45:47,773 --> 00:45:51,453
Freeway sign, a person who's behind the fence
998
00:45:51,549 --> 00:45:54,380
behind the Pergola, uses a high
999
00:45:54,463 --> 00:45:56,354
powered rifle and shoots Kennedy
1000
00:45:56,437 --> 00:45:58,715
in the front of the neck here
1001
00:45:59,565 --> 00:46:01,449
and then a couple of seconds later,
1002
00:46:01,567 --> 00:46:04,572
fires another round and hits
him on the side of the head.
1003
00:46:04,655 --> 00:46:06,917
They say that there was only two shots fired.
1004
00:46:07,061 --> 00:46:10,748
Not one person in Dealey Plaza or
1005
00:46:10,831 --> 00:46:13,435
anywhere else in Dallas that day
1006
00:46:13,805 --> 00:46:16,389
saw a man firing a rifle.
1007
00:46:16,517 --> 00:46:18,341
Not from the book depository,
1008
00:46:18,453 --> 00:46:22,165
not from behind the pergola, not from anywhere.
1009
00:46:22,325 --> 00:46:25,381
No one saw a man firing a rifle
1010
00:46:25,493 --> 00:46:28,425
anywhere that day. Period.
1011
00:46:29,205 --> 00:46:31,373
30 caliber rifle.
1012
00:46:31,469 --> 00:46:36,065
A high powered rifle is really loud.
1013
00:46:37,205 --> 00:46:40,164
The cutting through the air that
1014
00:46:40,247 --> 00:46:43,396
the gigantic bullet makes is one
1015
00:46:43,479 --> 00:46:46,977
of the scariest sounds that the human ear can hear.
1016
00:46:47,111 --> 00:46:48,836
Bullet traveling at 800
1017
00:46:48,919 --> 00:46:50,835
or 900 miles an hour,
1018
00:46:51,365 --> 00:46:54,604
cutting through the air
right over your head or right
1019
00:46:54,687 --> 00:46:55,849
near your ear.
1020
00:46:56,047 --> 00:46:58,972
No one reacts to the guns going off.
1021
00:46:59,055 --> 00:47:02,389
If you look at Google Earth, at Dealey Plaza,
1022
00:47:02,517 --> 00:47:04,165
you'll see that the conspiracy.
1023
00:47:04,565 --> 00:47:08,866
Theorists say that the
shooter was behind the fence.
1024
00:47:08,949 --> 00:47:10,665
That's behind the pergola.
1025
00:47:11,245 --> 00:47:12,706
If you look on Google Earth,
1026
00:47:12,789 --> 00:47:16,364
you'll see that that's only
about 40ft away from where
1027
00:47:16,447 --> 00:47:18,453
the car is on Elm Street.
1028
00:47:18,629 --> 00:47:21,465
40ft away is 13 yards.
1029
00:47:21,805 --> 00:47:24,713
Okay? That is not very far.
1030
00:47:24,879 --> 00:47:27,100
Everybody in Dealey Plaza would
1031
00:47:27,183 --> 00:47:28,572
have heard the gun going off.
1032
00:47:28,655 --> 00:47:29,930
They would have all been hitting
1033
00:47:30,013 --> 00:47:33,853
the ground and tried to see who was firing the gun.
1034
00:47:33,949 --> 00:47:35,604
So the shooter would have been
1035
00:47:35,687 --> 00:47:37,114
identified almost immediately.
1036
00:47:37,197 --> 00:47:38,634
As soon as he fired the gun,
1037
00:47:38,717 --> 00:47:41,565
people would have looked
in his direction. Zapruder,
1038
00:47:41,725 --> 00:47:46,090
filming at the grassy knoll, had the bullets flying
1039
00:47:46,173 --> 00:47:47,204
right past his head.
1040
00:47:47,287 --> 00:47:49,853
If the shooter was behind the pergola,
1041
00:47:50,029 --> 00:47:54,277
he shows no reaction to the bullets flying.
1042
00:47:54,381 --> 00:47:56,668
You watch the film, you don't
see the camera jerk around.
1043
00:47:56,751 --> 00:47:59,196
You don't see any kind of sudden movements when the
1044
00:47:59,279 --> 00:48:00,475
bullets go off.
1045
00:48:01,085 --> 00:48:04,005
Anybody else but Abraham
1046
00:48:04,405 --> 00:48:06,380
Zapruder would have been flat on
1047
00:48:06,463 --> 00:48:09,173
the ground as soon as the bullets started flying.
1048
00:48:09,269 --> 00:48:11,074
But somehow this guy maintains
1049
00:48:11,157 --> 00:48:13,388
his cool through the entire time
1050
00:48:13,471 --> 00:48:14,962
that all the bullets are flying
1051
00:48:15,045 --> 00:48:16,460
and keeps his camera on the
1052
00:48:16,543 --> 00:48:17,922
President and the First Lady.
1053
00:48:18,005 --> 00:48:19,148
And I don't buy it.
1054
00:48:19,231 --> 00:48:23,404
The reason that no one is
reacting to the bullets being
1055
00:48:23,487 --> 00:48:27,225
fired is because there are no bullets being fired.
1056
00:48:31,205 --> 00:48:32,466
We in the Zapruder film.
1057
00:48:32,549 --> 00:48:34,213
The limousine turns off Houston
1058
00:48:34,309 --> 00:48:37,490
and comes up Elm Street and the crowds are cheering
1059
00:48:37,573 --> 00:48:38,217
and everything.
1060
00:48:38,351 --> 00:48:40,140
And then it passes in front of
1061
00:48:40,223 --> 00:48:41,961
the Stemmins Freeway sign.
1062
00:48:42,143 --> 00:48:46,075
And as it comes out, Kennedy's doing something
1063
00:48:47,085 --> 00:48:49,785
like putting his hands up to about here.
1064
00:48:49,935 --> 00:48:51,980
That gesture of putting his
1065
00:48:52,063 --> 00:48:54,940
hands here is what makes all of
1066
00:48:55,023 --> 00:48:58,420
the theories say that he had a wound to the neck and
1067
00:48:58,503 --> 00:48:59,412
he was gripping it.
1068
00:48:59,495 --> 00:49:01,617
If you watch carefully, though,
1069
00:49:01,751 --> 00:49:03,220
his hands actually don't go to
1070
00:49:03,303 --> 00:49:06,697
the neck and. Then I watch, and you can clearly see
1071
00:49:06,831 --> 00:49:08,137
he goes like this.
1072
00:49:08,271 --> 00:49:10,140
He places something on his right
1073
00:49:10,223 --> 00:49:11,801
cheek. He brings the hand down,
1074
00:49:11,903 --> 00:49:13,564
and you can clearly see right
1075
00:49:13,647 --> 00:49:15,497
here, there's something there.
1076
00:49:15,631 --> 00:49:19,115
And it's casting a shadow in the high noon sun.
1077
00:49:27,285 --> 00:49:30,644
Then Jackie, who's really not paying any
1078
00:49:30,727 --> 00:49:34,138
attention to John, suddenly,
after a couple of seconds
1079
00:49:34,221 --> 00:49:37,669
with this thing, his face on his cheek,
1080
00:49:37,797 --> 00:49:40,508
she comes around and now they're kind of face to face
1081
00:49:40,591 --> 00:49:41,401
with each other.
1082
00:49:41,503 --> 00:49:43,260
And you see her shoulder coming
1083
00:49:43,343 --> 00:49:46,140
up and lifting the limousine
kind of drifts below the
1084
00:49:46,223 --> 00:49:47,362
bottom of the frame.
1085
00:49:47,445 --> 00:49:49,100
And just as it drifts below the
1086
00:49:49,183 --> 00:49:52,345
bottom of the frame and then his head explodes.
1087
00:49:52,845 --> 00:49:56,140
Jackie gets out of the car,
does something strange on
1088
00:49:56,223 --> 00:49:58,873
the trunk of the car, gets back into the car,
1089
00:49:58,959 --> 00:50:02,058
and the car speeds away,
presumably going to Parkland
1090
00:50:02,141 --> 00:50:04,015
Hospital double.
1091
00:50:04,277 --> 00:50:06,277
(gunshots)
1092
00:50:06,725 --> 00:50:08,393
Well, squibs have been around for
1093
00:50:08,479 --> 00:50:09,644
hundreds of years that were used
1094
00:50:09,727 --> 00:50:11,545
in stage plays in Europe,
1095
00:50:12,045 --> 00:50:15,689
you know, for explosions
and stab wounds or whatever,
1096
00:50:15,807 --> 00:50:16,953
make it look more real.
1097
00:50:17,039 --> 00:50:20,633
But squibs for movies really started in the 1940s.
1098
00:50:20,799 --> 00:50:23,897
Polish filmmaker used it for the first time.
1099
00:50:24,031 --> 00:50:27,945
Then it were used a few times in the early 60s.
1100
00:50:28,095 --> 00:50:30,314
So what a squib is it's a device
1101
00:50:30,397 --> 00:50:33,155
that simulates a gunshot wound to the body.
1102
00:50:34,245 --> 00:50:35,972
How a squib works is this.
1103
00:50:36,055 --> 00:50:38,593
It has the metal plate, which is at the bottom,
1104
00:50:38,679 --> 00:50:39,508
that is here.
1105
00:50:39,591 --> 00:50:42,490
This protects the actor from the slight explosion
1106
00:50:42,573 --> 00:50:43,725
of the gunpowder.
1107
00:50:43,885 --> 00:50:45,722
Then over the top of the plate
1108
00:50:45,805 --> 00:50:49,933
is a thin layer of gunpowder
with a triggering device.
1109
00:50:50,109 --> 00:50:51,421
Creates a spark.
1110
00:50:51,613 --> 00:50:55,980
And then over that is, you place your fake blood and a
1111
00:50:56,063 --> 00:50:58,188
prophylactic that surrounds the whole thing.
1112
00:50:58,271 --> 00:51:01,580
What happens is that you'll
put stick them on the back
1113
00:51:01,663 --> 00:51:02,594
of the metal plate.
1114
00:51:02,677 --> 00:51:03,975
You'll place it on the body.
1115
00:51:04,885 --> 00:51:07,154
Here.
And then the string is strung
1116
00:51:07,237 --> 00:51:09,561
down frequently through the leg.
1117
00:51:09,663 --> 00:51:11,276
And a technician will be down on
1118
00:51:11,359 --> 00:51:13,090
the floor on his belly and he'll
1119
00:51:13,173 --> 00:51:14,204
pull the squib at the right
1120
00:51:14,287 --> 00:51:16,213
moments and the actor reacts.
1121
00:51:16,309 --> 00:51:18,738
The squib goes off, and it looks very effective.
1122
00:51:18,821 --> 00:51:20,514
People screaming in the theaters
1123
00:51:20,597 --> 00:51:22,940
from it and thinking they
actually saw somebody get
1124
00:51:23,023 --> 00:51:24,475
their brains blown out.
1125
00:51:24,871 --> 00:51:27,952
(guns blasting)
1126
00:51:29,343 --> 00:51:31,665
When I watch the Zapruder film,
1127
00:51:32,485 --> 00:51:37,098
what I see is that as the car
emerges from the Stemmans
1128
00:51:37,181 --> 00:51:41,380
Freeway sign, I see that Jack is already in
1129
00:51:41,463 --> 00:51:45,341
the process of placing this thing on his cheek.
1130
00:51:45,533 --> 00:51:48,993
This thing that he's placing on his cheek, to me,
1131
00:51:49,159 --> 00:51:51,684
looks like a device that they
1132
00:51:51,767 --> 00:51:54,633
use in Hollywood to simulate a gunshot with own.
1133
00:51:54,719 --> 00:51:56,053
It's called a squib.
1134
00:51:56,149 --> 00:51:59,509
Has a string on it that, when pulled,
1135
00:51:59,637 --> 00:52:03,170
activates the squib and
causes it to explode and fake
1136
00:52:03,253 --> 00:52:03,975
blood comes out.
1137
00:52:04,725 --> 00:52:09,065
What I see is Jackie coming
around to the front of JFK,
1138
00:52:09,645 --> 00:52:12,018
reaching forward. Then, conveniently,
1139
00:52:12,101 --> 00:52:13,468
everything drops to the bottom
1140
00:52:13,551 --> 00:52:15,324
of the frame so we can't see her
1141
00:52:15,407 --> 00:52:16,921
left hand and what it's doing.
1142
00:52:17,023 --> 00:52:18,540
And I see that she's pulling the
1143
00:52:18,623 --> 00:52:20,764
string on the squib that JFK has
1144
00:52:20,847 --> 00:52:24,469
just placed on his right
cheek, causing it to explode.
1145
00:52:24,597 --> 00:52:28,169
JFK conveniently falls
down into the well of the car.
1146
00:52:28,367 --> 00:52:30,820
But before he falls into the
1147
00:52:30,903 --> 00:52:32,964
well of the car and after the
1148
00:52:33,047 --> 00:52:37,124
explosion, for a brief second, you can see the side
1149
00:52:37,207 --> 00:52:38,017
of his head.
1150
00:52:38,151 --> 00:52:41,994
And what you see is you
see reflecting in the afternoon
1151
00:52:42,077 --> 00:52:42,701
sunlight.
1152
00:52:42,813 --> 00:52:44,724
You can see the squib roll up
1153
00:52:44,807 --> 00:52:47,418
like a window shade up his cheek
1154
00:52:47,501 --> 00:52:49,505
and flying off his cheek.
1155
00:52:54,755 --> 00:52:56,891
And that's what Jackie is retrieving.
1156
00:52:57,003 --> 00:52:59,114
She's retrieving the plate from
1157
00:52:59,197 --> 00:53:03,765
the squib because it's
evidence of fakery. She gets up.
1158
00:53:04,325 --> 00:53:05,980
She doesn't even care that her
1159
00:53:06,063 --> 00:53:07,196
husband has just been shot in
1160
00:53:07,279 --> 00:53:08,572
the head right next to her.
1161
00:53:08,655 --> 00:53:10,434
She lets him fall into the seat.
1162
00:53:10,517 --> 00:53:12,844
And then she gets up and she grabs what I believe
1163
00:53:12,927 --> 00:53:13,810
is the metal plate.
1164
00:53:13,893 --> 00:53:17,580
I believe Secret service
agent Clint Hill also saw the
1165
00:53:17,663 --> 00:53:18,530
metal plate flying.
1166
00:53:18,613 --> 00:53:21,035
So he must have known what was going on.
1167
00:53:21,485 --> 00:53:22,876
He may have even retrieved the
1168
00:53:22,959 --> 00:53:23,756
plate and hands it to it.
1169
00:53:23,839 --> 00:53:26,060
Either way, she grabs it and then jumps back
1170
00:53:26,143 --> 00:53:28,041
in the car and it speeds away.
1171
00:53:28,223 --> 00:53:31,594
Somehow JFK became acquainted
1172
00:53:31,677 --> 00:53:33,155
with this squib technology
1173
00:53:34,645 --> 00:53:37,028
and used it. Jackie came by,
1174
00:53:37,111 --> 00:53:39,069
she pulled the string. Nowadays,
1175
00:53:39,197 --> 00:53:40,673
squibs have remote control,
1176
00:53:40,759 --> 00:53:42,141
so you don't need the string
1177
00:53:42,253 --> 00:53:44,081
anymore more. But in those days,
1178
00:53:44,183 --> 00:53:45,978
something that would get the flint to spark,
1179
00:53:46,061 --> 00:53:47,482
to ignite the gunpowder,
1180
00:53:47,565 --> 00:53:50,401
to cause the minor explosion and
1181
00:53:50,503 --> 00:53:52,932
cause the blood and whatever
1182
00:53:53,015 --> 00:53:54,212
things you have mixed in with
1183
00:53:54,295 --> 00:53:56,485
the blood to explode outward.
1184
00:53:56,645 --> 00:53:58,265
Looking very effective.
1185
00:53:59,005 --> 00:54:03,815
If you look at the Zapruder film, you will see that.
1186
00:54:04,325 --> 00:54:09,484
Kennedy's head does not
start moving exactly when the
1187
00:54:09,567 --> 00:54:10,761
explosion happens.
1188
00:54:10,943 --> 00:54:13,915
It's a frame or two after.
1189
00:54:14,551 --> 00:54:17,449
(ambient music)
1190
00:54:43,215 --> 00:54:44,763
It's a frame or two after.
1191
00:54:44,849 --> 00:54:46,011
That cannot be.
1192
00:54:46,113 --> 00:54:47,604
His head would have moved,
1193
00:54:47,687 --> 00:54:50,420
started moving the minute
that that thing exploded.
1194
00:54:50,503 --> 00:54:52,260
If it was a bullet, it would have pushed
1195
00:54:52,343 --> 00:54:53,444
him immediately.
1196
00:54:53,527 --> 00:54:55,774
There would been no resistance by him.
1197
00:54:55,857 --> 00:54:58,828
He could not have listed a fast moving bullet.
1198
00:54:58,911 --> 00:55:00,038
And there would been probably
1199
00:55:00,121 --> 00:55:02,342
six or seven quarts of blood all
1200
00:55:02,425 --> 00:55:03,798
splattered all through that car.
1201
00:55:03,881 --> 00:55:05,653
Jackie would be drenched in blood.
1202
00:55:05,749 --> 00:55:06,821
It would be serious.
1203
00:55:06,933 --> 00:55:08,677
That's just the neck wound.
1204
00:55:08,821 --> 00:55:11,065
You couple that with a head wound,
1205
00:55:11,405 --> 00:55:14,569
now you've got blood everywhere, okay?
1206
00:55:14,687 --> 00:55:16,882
And yet you don't see any blood.
1207
00:55:16,965 --> 00:55:18,773
John Connolly gets interviewed
1208
00:55:18,869 --> 00:55:21,644
about five days after the assassination from his
1209
00:55:21,727 --> 00:55:22,521
hospital room.
1210
00:55:22,623 --> 00:55:25,004
Says that he looked back after
1211
00:55:25,087 --> 00:55:27,513
the shot rang out and he saw
1212
00:55:27,599 --> 00:55:29,196
blood and brain matter all over
1213
00:55:29,279 --> 00:55:31,469
the back trunk of the limousine.
1214
00:55:31,597 --> 00:55:33,466
Well, first off, if he watches the Zapruder film,
1215
00:55:33,549 --> 00:55:34,996
he never turns his head all the
1216
00:55:35,079 --> 00:55:36,180
way around in order to be able
1217
00:55:36,263 --> 00:55:38,013
to see what's on the trunk.
1218
00:55:38,109 --> 00:55:40,868
All right?
So he makes no motions of
1219
00:55:40,951 --> 00:55:43,738
looking at the trunk. Secondly, you can see the trunk,
1220
00:55:43,821 --> 00:55:44,993
and there's no brain matter.
1221
00:55:45,079 --> 00:55:46,653
There's no blood anywhere.
1222
00:55:46,749 --> 00:55:48,945
In fact, there's no blood anywhere
1223
00:55:49,445 --> 00:55:52,785
anywhere in the whole
frame outside of the explosion.
1224
00:56:00,925 --> 00:56:03,565
You, James Fetzer sees.
1225
00:56:04,325 --> 00:56:09,100
The squib on the side of
Kennedy's face and thinks that
1226
00:56:09,183 --> 00:56:12,825
it's been airbrushed there, that he calls it the Blob,
1227
00:56:13,165 --> 00:56:16,201
and he thinks that somehow
it's been airbrushed. Well,
1228
00:56:16,303 --> 00:56:19,835
an eight millimeter film frame is about this big.
1229
00:56:20,205 --> 00:56:21,861
How you're going to airbrush
1230
00:56:22,053 --> 00:56:24,002
something that small so that's
1231
00:56:24,085 --> 00:56:25,778
clearly it's not airbrushed.
1232
00:56:25,861 --> 00:56:27,452
He would say, oh, they blew it up,
1233
00:56:27,535 --> 00:56:28,466
and then they airbrushed,
1234
00:56:28,549 --> 00:56:29,524
and then they reduced it again.
1235
00:56:29,607 --> 00:56:32,193
I'm sure you would say that, but it's not that.
1236
00:56:32,359 --> 00:56:33,453
It's the squib.
1237
00:56:33,549 --> 00:56:36,708
And because James Fetzer
doesn't know what a squib is,
1238
00:56:36,791 --> 00:56:38,513
he can't tell you what it is.
1239
00:56:38,599 --> 00:56:41,985
What they did was they concluded it was a hoax,
1240
00:56:42,485 --> 00:56:44,996
because they kept seeing
all the high weirdness that
1241
00:56:45,079 --> 00:56:46,401
I'm describing to you.
1242
00:56:46,503 --> 00:56:47,594
But because they weren't
1243
00:56:47,677 --> 00:56:49,770
associated or have any knowledge
1244
00:56:49,853 --> 00:56:53,313
of squib technology and
motion picture technology,
1245
00:56:53,479 --> 00:56:55,353
they didn't know what they were looking at.
1246
00:56:55,439 --> 00:56:56,684
And the same thing is true with
1247
00:56:56,767 --> 00:56:58,828
all the conspiracy theorists and
1248
00:56:58,911 --> 00:57:00,274
all of the government theorists,
1249
00:57:00,357 --> 00:57:01,861
including the Warren Commission.
1250
00:57:01,973 --> 00:57:04,055
They didn't know in 1963.
1251
00:57:04,405 --> 00:57:05,401
What a squib was.
1252
00:57:05,503 --> 00:57:06,620
There might have been eight or
1253
00:57:06,703 --> 00:57:07,804
nine people on earth that
1254
00:57:07,887 --> 00:57:09,369
actually knew what a squib was
1255
00:57:09,487 --> 00:57:11,372
or how it operated at the time.
1256
00:57:11,455 --> 00:57:13,762
So they reached the conclusion
1257
00:57:13,845 --> 00:57:15,561
the symposium and the book
1258
00:57:15,663 --> 00:57:17,660
reached the conclusion that the
1259
00:57:17,743 --> 00:57:19,829
Zapruder film had been hoaxed.
1260
00:57:19,957 --> 00:57:21,410
But it hasn't been hoaxed.
1261
00:57:21,493 --> 00:57:22,805
It's been changed.
1262
00:57:22,965 --> 00:57:25,260
It's been optically after the
1263
00:57:25,343 --> 00:57:26,613
splice it's been optically
1264
00:57:26,709 --> 00:57:28,748
changed the changes that were
1265
00:57:28,831 --> 00:57:31,588
made to the Zapruder film after
1266
00:57:31,671 --> 00:57:36,573
the splice were done to
hide Jackie pulling the string.
1267
00:57:36,669 --> 00:57:38,301
So what they did is they created
1268
00:57:38,413 --> 00:57:40,369
what they call a traveling mat.
1269
00:57:40,567 --> 00:57:43,985
They matted out the entire background,
1270
00:57:44,645 --> 00:57:47,332
isolated the limousine and then
1271
00:57:47,415 --> 00:57:50,353
slightly reduced it in size so they could lower it
1272
00:57:50,439 --> 00:57:51,322
into the frame.
1273
00:57:51,405 --> 00:57:52,964
The reason that you can see that
1274
00:57:53,047 --> 00:57:55,340
this is what happened is
is because the people in the
1275
00:57:55,423 --> 00:57:57,189
background behind the limousine
1276
00:57:57,317 --> 00:57:59,100
are as big as the people in the
1277
00:57:59,183 --> 00:58:00,773
limousine or maybe bigger.
1278
00:58:00,869 --> 00:58:02,140
And that can't be because if
1279
00:58:02,223 --> 00:58:03,925
you're further away from the camera, you're smaller.
1280
00:58:04,405 --> 00:58:06,194
It wasn't the Zapruder that didn't
1281
00:58:06,277 --> 00:58:08,028
keep the Kennedys in the center
1282
00:58:08,111 --> 00:58:10,361
of the frame. He probably did.
1283
00:58:10,543 --> 00:58:13,922
But later, when they saw the string being pulled,
1284
00:58:14,005 --> 00:58:15,180
they realized that they had to
1285
00:58:15,263 --> 00:58:17,442
optically recreate the film,
1286
00:58:17,525 --> 00:58:19,116
lower the limousine down in the
1287
00:58:19,199 --> 00:58:21,945
frame to hide Jackie doing that
1288
00:58:22,095 --> 00:58:26,892
and hide the film forever and hope no one ever saw it,
1289
00:58:26,975 --> 00:58:27,993
which is what they thought.
1290
00:58:28,079 --> 00:58:29,460
And they were hiding the film so
1291
00:58:29,543 --> 00:58:32,100
anyone who did know how a
squib operated would not be
1292
00:58:32,183 --> 00:58:32,948
able to see it.
1293
00:58:33,031 --> 00:58:36,049
Because Time Life had kept the film under wraps for
1294
00:58:36,173 --> 00:58:37,561
over 30 years,
1295
00:58:37,644 --> 00:58:41,796
(ambient music)
1296
00:58:43,235 --> 00:58:46,610
the autopsy pictures of
the JFK assassination were
1297
00:58:46,693 --> 00:58:47,883
finally released.
1298
00:58:48,059 --> 00:58:48,785
And
1299
00:58:50,115 --> 00:58:52,024
they were completely at variance
1300
00:58:52,107 --> 00:58:53,336
with what the Zapruder film
1301
00:58:53,419 --> 00:58:56,207
showed. Zapruder film shows, of course,
1302
00:58:56,341 --> 00:58:59,335
bullet hitting the right side of JFK's head.
1303
00:58:59,485 --> 00:59:01,514
But the autopsy pictures show
1304
00:59:01,597 --> 00:59:04,035
the wound here and no wound.
1305
00:59:04,325 --> 00:59:04,969
Here.
1306
00:59:05,167 --> 00:59:07,436
So that kind of upset a lot of
1307
00:59:07,519 --> 00:59:08,876
people and also caused people to
1308
00:59:08,959 --> 00:59:11,493
think that the Zapruder film was a hoax.
1309
00:59:11,669 --> 00:59:14,133
But I emphatically deny these charges.
1310
00:59:14,309 --> 00:59:17,004
Lee Harvey Oswald killed two
1311
00:59:17,087 --> 00:59:19,545
people that day on November 22.
1312
00:59:19,695 --> 00:59:20,860
One was, of course, John F.
1313
00:59:20,943 --> 00:59:22,153
Kennedy, they say.
1314
00:59:22,319 --> 00:59:24,034
And the second one was Dallas
1315
00:59:24,117 --> 00:59:26,322
Police Officer Jefferson Davis
1316
00:59:26,405 --> 00:59:29,282
or J. D. Tippitt. J D tippitt.
1317
00:59:29,365 --> 00:59:31,901
It had a nickname on the Dallas police force,
1318
00:59:32,013 --> 00:59:34,705
and his nickname was JFK.
1319
00:59:35,125 --> 00:59:37,124
Why? Because J. D.
1320
00:59:37,207 --> 00:59:40,653
Tippitt looked exactly like John F. Kennedy.
1321
00:59:40,749 --> 00:59:43,309
He was what they call a dead ringer.
1322
00:59:43,437 --> 00:59:45,290
Quite a coincidence that Lee
1323
00:59:45,373 --> 00:59:47,668
Harvey Oswald kills two people
1324
00:59:47,751 --> 00:59:51,777
that day in Dallas that
look exactly like each other.
1325
00:59:51,911 --> 00:59:55,740
The body in the autopsy, the
body that gets examined at
1326
00:59:55,823 --> 00:59:58,364
Parkland is not John F.
1327
00:59:58,447 --> 01:00:00,748
Kennedy, but is in fact, J.
1328
01:00:00,831 --> 01:00:02,684
D. Tippitt. That J. D.
1329
01:00:02,767 --> 01:00:04,085
Tippitt was murdered.
1330
01:00:04,485 --> 01:00:08,268
Earlier the facts around his
1331
01:00:08,351 --> 01:00:09,410
murder, which are so muddled.
1332
01:00:09,590 --> 01:00:13,411
They are muddled because
the murder that the witnesses
1333
01:00:13,494 --> 01:00:15,670
saw was staged.
1334
01:00:15,814 --> 01:00:19,933
Dallas police mysteriously
receive a phone call from an
1335
01:00:20,016 --> 01:00:21,437
anonymous source saying that a
1336
01:00:21,520 --> 01:00:25,757
mysterious man has ducked
into this movie theater right
1337
01:00:25,840 --> 01:00:26,563
near where JD.
1338
01:00:26,646 --> 01:00:28,110
Tippitt was supposedly shot.
1339
01:00:28,214 --> 01:00:29,509
The Dallas police go into the
1340
01:00:29,592 --> 01:00:32,693
movie theater and they find
Lee Harvey Oswald in there
1341
01:00:32,776 --> 01:00:33,675
watching a movie.
1342
01:00:33,758 --> 01:00:35,358
There's a brief scuffle.
1343
01:00:35,518 --> 01:00:37,166
Oswald gets punched.
1344
01:00:37,262 --> 01:00:39,566
They arrest Lee Harvey Oswald.
1345
01:00:39,742 --> 01:00:42,373
And then that night, they bring him out for
1346
01:00:42,456 --> 01:00:44,046
a press conference.
1347
01:00:44,222 --> 01:00:47,502
He comes out and he makes a statement that he denies
1348
01:00:47,630 --> 01:00:49,390
shooting J. D. Tippitt.
1349
01:00:49,534 --> 01:00:51,803
Then a reporter says, yeah, but what about shooting
1350
01:00:51,886 --> 01:00:52,530
the President?
1351
01:00:52,664 --> 01:00:55,229
And you can clearly see that
Oswald does not know the
1352
01:00:55,312 --> 01:00:56,227
President's been shot.
1353
01:00:56,310 --> 01:00:57,603
He says that he isn't involved
1354
01:00:57,686 --> 01:00:59,962
in shooting the President. Well,
1355
01:01:00,080 --> 01:01:02,717
in between the time he was arrested and that press
1356
01:01:02,800 --> 01:01:03,400
conference.
1357
01:01:03,878 --> 01:01:06,394
They gave Oswald a paraffin test
1358
01:01:06,576 --> 01:01:09,875
in which it was proven they had not fired a rifle.
1359
01:01:09,958 --> 01:01:11,293
The Dallas police knew that he
1360
01:01:11,376 --> 01:01:12,653
didn't fire a rifle but they
1361
01:01:12,736 --> 01:01:14,554
kept the charges on him anyway.
1362
01:01:14,736 --> 01:01:19,414
Oswald's death itself is quite strange. On Sunday,
1363
01:01:19,526 --> 01:01:21,606
two days after the assassination
1364
01:01:21,782 --> 01:01:23,373
and as he's being moved and
1365
01:01:23,456 --> 01:01:25,002
going through the parking lot
1366
01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:27,117
nightclub owner Jack Ruby has
1367
01:01:27,200 --> 01:01:29,547
ties to the Chicago mob suddenly
1368
01:01:29,630 --> 01:01:31,813
comes in and kills Oswald by
1369
01:01:31,896 --> 01:01:33,355
shooting him in the abdomen.
1370
01:01:33,438 --> 01:01:36,075
That famous shot of Ruby shooting Oswald.
1371
01:01:36,158 --> 01:01:38,933
There's another shot of
Ruby shooting Oswald that no
1372
01:01:39,016 --> 01:01:40,338
one ever talks about.
1373
01:01:40,488 --> 01:01:42,126
And that's this shot.
1374
01:01:42,302 --> 01:01:44,133
And if we look to the right and
1375
01:01:44,216 --> 01:01:47,861
the upper frame we see a very
1376
01:01:47,944 --> 01:01:50,357
professional microphone
has been placed there. Now,
1377
01:01:50,440 --> 01:01:52,546
why would a microphone be placed there?
1378
01:01:52,632 --> 01:01:54,828
If Oswald is just passing through,
1379
01:01:55,918 --> 01:01:57,242
what would be the point?
1380
01:01:57,360 --> 01:01:58,627
You would only put a microphone
1381
01:01:58,710 --> 01:02:00,067
there if something significant
1382
01:02:00,150 --> 01:02:02,838
was going to happen below that microphone.
1383
01:02:04,358 --> 01:02:07,645
So whoever put the microphone
there knew that something
1384
01:02:07,728 --> 01:02:09,418
significant was going to happen.
1385
01:02:09,568 --> 01:02:11,597
And that thing that happened is
1386
01:02:11,680 --> 01:02:13,741
Ruby shooting Oswald. Now,
1387
01:02:13,824 --> 01:02:15,997
somewhere between Oswald's press
1388
01:02:16,080 --> 01:02:20,397
conference and the walk
through the garage Oswald gets
1389
01:02:20,480 --> 01:02:21,738
a black sweater.
1390
01:02:22,318 --> 01:02:23,677
I don't know where he got it from,
1391
01:02:23,760 --> 01:02:24,931
but he gets a black sweater.
1392
01:02:25,014 --> 01:02:26,666
So he's got a black sweater on.
1393
01:02:26,752 --> 01:02:28,163
But that's very convenient.
1394
01:02:28,246 --> 01:02:30,021
It because in those days
1395
01:02:30,104 --> 01:02:31,285
everything was black and white.
1396
01:02:31,368 --> 01:02:33,442
All the newsreel footage and everything.
1397
01:02:33,640 --> 01:02:37,291
So when the cameras are cranking
1398
01:02:37,374 --> 01:02:39,643
and they show Ruby shooting
1399
01:02:39,726 --> 01:02:42,258
Oswald with his black sweater
1400
01:02:42,678 --> 01:02:43,797
you're not going to see any
1401
01:02:43,880 --> 01:02:45,163
blood because the black sweater
1402
01:02:45,246 --> 01:02:46,261
is going to absorb it all.
1403
01:02:46,344 --> 01:02:48,997
And again, Oswald just falls backwards and
1404
01:02:49,080 --> 01:02:51,010
again disappears completely.
1405
01:02:51,144 --> 01:02:52,482
We never see him again.
1406
01:02:52,600 --> 01:02:55,053
Oswald was given an autopsy the
1407
01:02:55,136 --> 01:02:58,461
next day, Monday, November 25.
1408
01:02:58,544 --> 01:02:59,763
And there were no photographs
1409
01:02:59,846 --> 01:03:01,818
taken of Oswald's autopsy.
1410
01:03:02,718 --> 01:03:03,318
It.
1411
01:03:03,478 --> 01:03:04,534
Very strange.
1412
01:03:04,726 --> 01:03:06,390
Attention all squad.
1413
01:03:06,534 --> 01:03:09,043
The suspect in the shooting at Elman,
1414
01:03:09,126 --> 01:03:11,427
Houston is reported to be an unknown white male,
1415
01:03:11,510 --> 01:03:16,294
approximately 30, slender bills by 5ft ten inches.
1416
01:03:16,406 --> 01:03:19,030
Weight 165 pounds.
1417
01:03:19,174 --> 01:03:20,973
Report to be armed with what is
1418
01:03:21,056 --> 01:03:23,981
thought to be a 30 caliber rifle. Well,
1419
01:03:24,064 --> 01:03:26,403
it was a 30 caliber rifle used in the shooting,
1420
01:03:26,486 --> 01:03:27,322
that's for sure.
1421
01:03:27,440 --> 01:03:29,797
The problem here is that they
1422
01:03:29,880 --> 01:03:31,963
didn't discover the 30 caliber
1423
01:03:32,046 --> 01:03:34,926
rifle until a couple of hours
after the assassination,
1424
01:03:35,102 --> 01:03:37,445
not a couple of seconds after it.
1425
01:03:37,528 --> 01:03:41,397
So how did the person who
wrote the bulletin get this
1426
01:03:41,480 --> 01:03:42,080
information?
1427
01:03:42,678 --> 01:03:44,946
Oswald never left with the gun either.
1428
01:03:45,032 --> 01:03:47,173
The gun was stashed in a box on
1429
01:03:47,256 --> 01:03:48,894
the 6th floor depository.
1430
01:03:49,006 --> 01:03:51,028
So he didn't have the gun with him.
1431
01:03:52,438 --> 01:03:54,253
This is believe this bulletin is
1432
01:03:54,336 --> 01:03:56,413
probably very likely the reason why J. D.
1433
01:03:56,496 --> 01:03:59,763
Tippitt pulled over whoever
it was that was walking
1434
01:03:59,846 --> 01:04:00,595
down the street.
1435
01:04:00,678 --> 01:04:02,326
Because everybody was suspicious.
1436
01:04:02,422 --> 01:04:03,056
Because the president.
1437
01:04:03,318 --> 01:04:04,486
Had just been shot.
1438
01:04:04,662 --> 01:04:06,941
So that in itself is an amazing thing.
1439
01:04:07,024 --> 01:04:10,211
That bulletin got out and
with all that really valuable
1440
01:04:10,294 --> 01:04:12,934
information on it that no one could have known.
1441
01:04:13,046 --> 01:04:15,683
Situation is about nobody
has told me anything except
1442
01:04:15,766 --> 01:04:17,308
the ease of
1443
01:04:18,798 --> 01:04:20,378
murdering a policeman
1444
01:04:20,878 --> 01:04:22,365
I know nothing more than that.
1445
01:04:22,448 --> 01:04:23,578
I do request
1446
01:04:24,718 --> 01:04:25,994
someone to come.
1447
01:04:26,176 --> 01:04:28,917
Oswald was originally
arrested for the murder of J. D.
1448
01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:31,733
Tippitt based on the call from
1449
01:04:31,816 --> 01:04:35,358
the anonymous source that
he was in the movie theater.
1450
01:04:35,518 --> 01:04:39,986
And Oswald also says during
his press conference that
1451
01:04:40,072 --> 01:04:41,234
he uses the word.
1452
01:04:41,336 --> 01:04:43,102
He calls himself a patsy,
1453
01:04:43,230 --> 01:04:45,202
which is a very interesting word
1454
01:04:45,320 --> 01:04:46,917
to use because it has a very
1455
01:04:47,000 --> 01:04:49,083
specific meaning and that you're
1456
01:04:49,166 --> 01:04:51,618
being put up for a crime that you didn't commit.
1457
01:04:52,118 --> 01:04:54,563
These people have given me a hearing without legal
1458
01:04:54,646 --> 01:04:56,348
representation or anything.
1459
01:04:57,038 --> 01:04:58,045
I didn't shoot anybody.
1460
01:04:58,128 --> 01:05:02,438
Notice I'm just a patsy I'M JUST A PATSY.
1461
01:05:03,238 --> 01:05:06,586
Tippitt had already been murdered before that.
1462
01:05:06,752 --> 01:05:11,418
Murdered in the back of the head and shot in the neck.
1463
01:05:11,758 --> 01:05:12,966
Two shots.
1464
01:05:13,142 --> 01:05:15,053
They wanted to make it look like J. D.
1465
01:05:15,136 --> 01:05:18,893
Tippitt had been killed by
Oswald. Make it look like J. D.
1466
01:05:18,976 --> 01:05:22,006
Tippitt was killed after Kennedy,
1467
01:05:22,102 --> 01:05:24,214
when actually he was killed before Kennedy.
1468
01:05:24,326 --> 01:05:25,773
It would make total sense for
1469
01:05:25,856 --> 01:05:27,853
the Secret Service to put a
1470
01:05:27,936 --> 01:05:29,973
little bulletproof chamber in
1471
01:05:30,056 --> 01:05:31,477
there with a trap door through
1472
01:05:31,560 --> 01:05:33,685
the seat to allow the President
1473
01:05:33,768 --> 01:05:35,797
to escape danger in the middle
1474
01:05:35,880 --> 01:05:37,275
of a very bad circumstance,
1475
01:05:37,358 --> 01:05:39,845
say a bomb going off or somebody
1476
01:05:39,928 --> 01:05:41,333
shooting or someone trying to
1477
01:05:41,416 --> 01:05:43,234
kidnap the President, right?
1478
01:05:43,336 --> 01:05:45,733
Of course, if there is a panic room or a
1479
01:05:45,816 --> 01:05:47,778
secret room in the trunk of the car,
1480
01:05:47,928 --> 01:05:50,818
then you would have to keep
it secret because otherwise
1481
01:05:51,238 --> 01:05:52,338
it's useless.
1482
01:05:52,678 --> 01:05:58,214
Tippitt was killed somewhere
between Dallas airport
1483
01:05:58,326 --> 01:05:59,942
and Dealey Plaza.
1484
01:06:00,070 --> 01:06:02,968
They picked up Tippitt's body, put it in the in the.
1485
01:06:03,238 --> 01:06:05,686
Little chamber in the trunk of the limousine.
1486
01:06:05,782 --> 01:06:08,566
Kennedy goes through the plaza.
1487
01:06:08,662 --> 01:06:10,467
He puts the squib on his cheek.
1488
01:06:10,550 --> 01:06:12,134
Jackie pulls the string.
1489
01:06:12,246 --> 01:06:13,274
It goes off.
1490
01:06:13,376 --> 01:06:14,874
He falls into the car.
1491
01:06:14,976 --> 01:06:18,650
The car speeds away. And
now, in the eight minute drive
1492
01:06:18,784 --> 01:06:21,658
between Dealey Plaza and Parkland Hospital,
1493
01:06:22,478 --> 01:06:25,907
Tippitt is brought out from the panic room. JFK.
1494
01:06:25,990 --> 01:06:27,858
Is put back in the panic room.
1495
01:06:28,048 --> 01:06:29,787
Mud on the seat and on Jackie
1496
01:06:29,870 --> 01:06:32,942
are from Tippitt because no one was actually shot.
1497
01:06:33,070 --> 01:06:34,427
By the time they get to Parkland
1498
01:06:34,510 --> 01:06:36,462
Hospital, the body is Tippitt.
1499
01:06:36,590 --> 01:06:37,883
They say that he's got a giant
1500
01:06:37,966 --> 01:06:39,538
wound in the back of the head.
1501
01:06:39,688 --> 01:06:42,994
They put the body on the airplane on Air Force One.
1502
01:06:43,096 --> 01:06:45,701
It's taken to Bethesda Hospital again.
1503
01:06:45,784 --> 01:06:47,403
It's autopsied at Bethesda
1504
01:06:47,486 --> 01:06:49,723
Hospital by doctors who
really don't know what they're
1505
01:06:49,806 --> 01:06:52,658
doing anyway, and the whole time it's Tippitt.
1506
01:06:53,038 --> 01:06:55,485
Anybody do a fingerprint check on that body?
1507
01:06:55,568 --> 01:06:56,886
See if it was really JFK?
1508
01:06:56,982 --> 01:06:58,285
Anybody do teeth check?
1509
01:06:58,368 --> 01:06:59,901
Make sure it's him?
No they didn't do do that?
1510
01:06:59,984 --> 01:07:01,558
It was a closed casket.
1511
01:07:01,718 --> 01:07:02,888
Nobody saw it ever again.
1512
01:07:03,718 --> 01:07:06,826
And J. D. Tippitt is, sadly enough,
1513
01:07:06,912 --> 01:07:08,988
the only person that died that day.
1514
01:07:11,931 --> 01:07:16,780
(ambient music)
1515
01:07:21,248 --> 01:07:25,397
Yeah. So in 1991, Oliver Stone made his fantastic
1516
01:07:25,480 --> 01:07:29,438
movie, JFK, which examines a lot of the
1517
01:07:29,808 --> 01:07:31,797
theories around the Kennedy assassination.
1518
01:07:31,880 --> 01:07:34,943
It's just a really well made film. Like,
1519
01:07:35,026 --> 01:07:36,415
one of the best made films ever,
1520
01:07:36,498 --> 01:07:39,398
I have to say. And, um,
1521
01:07:40,568 --> 01:07:41,318
he
1522
01:07:42,648 --> 01:07:44,628
Has to have seen the squib.
1523
01:07:45,288 --> 01:07:48,772
He did Platoon just a few years earlier than this.
1524
01:07:48,970 --> 01:07:51,092
There's literally hundreds of scribbs going off,
1525
01:07:51,210 --> 01:07:54,183
and so he had to know that it was a squib. Now,
1526
01:07:54,266 --> 01:07:57,076
I'm cutting Oliver a break here, okay?
1527
01:07:57,242 --> 01:08:00,263
Because the way that a film works is you write the
1528
01:08:00,346 --> 01:08:02,338
screenplay and then you go get money.
1529
01:08:03,558 --> 01:08:05,178
And then you make the film.
1530
01:08:05,518 --> 01:08:09,533
So he did not have a high quality version of the
1531
01:08:09,616 --> 01:08:10,323
Zapruder film.
1532
01:08:10,406 --> 01:08:13,210
None of us did until he was
1533
01:08:13,344 --> 01:08:15,514
months into production. Okay?
1534
01:08:15,616 --> 01:08:20,397
So what he did was he paid Time Life $80,000 to have
1535
01:08:20,480 --> 01:08:22,253
a really good, high quality version of
1536
01:08:22,336 --> 01:08:23,641
the Brooder film made.
1537
01:08:23,760 --> 01:08:25,002
This took a while.
1538
01:08:25,119 --> 01:08:28,491
So he's in pre-production, working, making the film.
1539
01:08:28,574 --> 01:08:29,803
He wrote the script fully
1540
01:08:29,886 --> 01:08:31,493
thinking that there had been a
1541
01:08:31,576 --> 01:08:33,482
killer or shooter in the grassy
1542
01:08:33,565 --> 01:08:37,844
knoll and he was writing it
that way. And then finally,
1543
01:08:37,927 --> 01:08:40,714
he gets the high quality
version of the Zapruder film
1544
01:08:40,797 --> 01:08:42,065
and he watches it.
1545
01:08:42,152 --> 01:08:43,844
He's already millions of dollars
1546
01:08:43,927 --> 01:08:45,890
into this project. Right?
1547
01:08:46,024 --> 01:08:47,562
He sees the Zapruder film.
1548
01:08:47,645 --> 01:08:48,930
This is what I think happened.
1549
01:08:49,064 --> 01:08:50,203
He sees the squib.
1550
01:08:50,286 --> 01:08:52,141
He's probably flabbergasted,
1551
01:08:52,270 --> 01:08:57,555
probably deflated because it's Kennedy faking.
1552
01:08:57,638 --> 01:08:59,667
His death is much more deflating
1553
01:08:59,750 --> 01:09:02,328
than a violent assassination in the town square.
1554
01:09:03,238 --> 01:09:07,811
And he was kind of forced to stick with the original
1555
01:09:07,894 --> 01:09:08,757
storyline.
1556
01:09:08,918 --> 01:09:11,594
I would really like to talk
to Oliver Stone about this.
1557
01:09:11,696 --> 01:09:13,731
The secret service and the FBI
1558
01:09:13,814 --> 01:09:17,862
quickly gather up all the
photographs, the movie films,
1559
01:09:17,989 --> 01:09:22,141
everything taken by the
bystanders near the point where
1560
01:09:22,224 --> 01:09:26,044
the assassination supposedly
took place, all right?
1561
01:09:26,127 --> 01:09:27,373
They're doing that because they
1562
01:09:27,456 --> 01:09:29,637
want to make sure nobody gets a
1563
01:09:29,720 --> 01:09:31,557
photograph of Kennedy putting
1564
01:09:31,640 --> 01:09:33,125
the squib on and everything.
1565
01:09:33,208 --> 01:09:34,974
The only person that's allowed
1566
01:09:35,086 --> 01:09:39,044
to have their film be seen is Abraham Zapruder. Okay?
1567
01:09:39,127 --> 01:09:40,964
We don't know about all the rest of stuff.
1568
01:09:41,047 --> 01:09:43,674
Fell into a black hole, disappeared forever.
1569
01:09:43,757 --> 01:09:46,337
We'll never know what was taken that day.
1570
01:09:46,488 --> 01:09:50,437
We know that there's a film
of the secret service being
1571
01:09:50,520 --> 01:09:52,453
instructed by their superior to
1572
01:09:52,536 --> 01:09:55,533
back away from the limousine,
which they're not supposed to do.
1573
01:09:55,616 --> 01:09:57,654
They're supposed to be on all sides of the limousine
1574
01:09:57,766 --> 01:09:58,973
protecting the president from
1575
01:09:59,056 --> 01:10:00,442
any bullets coming through,
1576
01:10:00,560 --> 01:10:02,888
and they aren't. I believe that.
1577
01:10:03,398 --> 01:10:04,588
Did that to
1578
01:10:05,598 --> 01:10:09,885
protect the Secret Service
from seeing Kennedy putting
1579
01:10:09,968 --> 01:10:12,259
on the squib, so therefore they wouldn't
1580
01:10:12,342 --> 01:10:13,421
be witnesses to it.
1581
01:10:13,504 --> 01:10:17,930
So the late Gary Mack was
a really good researcher who
1582
01:10:18,064 --> 01:10:19,683
started out as a conspiracy
1583
01:10:19,766 --> 01:10:22,435
theorist and then later became
1584
01:10:22,518 --> 01:10:23,987
the non conspiracy theorist.
1585
01:10:24,070 --> 01:10:27,133
But what he did was he took one
1586
01:10:27,216 --> 01:10:28,613
of the photographs that had not
1587
01:10:28,696 --> 01:10:32,530
been confiscated from the
Kennedy assassination and
1588
01:10:32,664 --> 01:10:34,434
he started examining it.
1589
01:10:34,536 --> 01:10:37,867
And he took one little part of this Polaroid,
1590
01:10:37,950 --> 01:10:41,141
black and white Polaroid photograph about this
1591
01:10:41,224 --> 01:10:42,948
big of an area,
1592
01:10:43,958 --> 01:10:46,482
and he blew it up and he started looking.
1593
01:10:46,600 --> 01:10:49,268
And then he added color he
1594
01:10:50,358 --> 01:10:53,093
thought he saw a grainy and
1595
01:10:53,176 --> 01:10:56,483
Impressionistic photo of a police
1596
01:10:56,566 --> 01:10:58,406
officer or someone with a badge
1597
01:10:58,502 --> 01:11:00,701
on shooting a gun right towards
1598
01:11:00,784 --> 01:11:02,838
the President. Gary Mack.
1599
01:11:03,398 --> 01:11:04,394
This is his work.
1600
01:11:04,496 --> 01:11:08,250
Gary Mack later said that that wasn't true.
1601
01:11:08,384 --> 01:11:09,882
There wasn't enough information
1602
01:11:10,000 --> 01:11:13,430
in the photograph for him
to reach those conclusions.
1603
01:11:13,574 --> 01:11:16,586
And him changing the color, of course,
1604
01:11:16,752 --> 01:11:18,077
who knew what the colors were?
1605
01:11:18,160 --> 01:11:19,411
So he was just arbitrarily
1606
01:11:19,494 --> 01:11:22,394
choosing what colors he wanted to make, everything.
1607
01:11:22,576 --> 01:11:25,357
And he eventually realized that
1608
01:11:25,440 --> 01:11:27,146
he kind of cheated a little bit
1609
01:11:27,232 --> 01:11:28,875
with the Badge Man photo.
1610
01:11:28,958 --> 01:11:29,989
And I think that was one of the
1611
01:11:30,072 --> 01:11:33,662
things that caused him to turn on the conspiracy.
1612
01:11:33,790 --> 01:11:36,971
And he realized, first off,
that you could take a scant
1613
01:11:37,054 --> 01:11:38,373
amount of evidence and build a
1614
01:11:38,456 --> 01:11:40,386
gigantic conspiracy around it,
1615
01:11:40,472 --> 01:11:44,082
and then hundreds of other conspirators join in.
1616
01:11:44,200 --> 01:11:47,934
And soon this thing, which
is based on flimsy evidence,
1617
01:11:48,046 --> 01:11:52,970
is now religious doctrine
in the conspiracy community.
1618
01:11:53,144 --> 01:11:55,498
But the FBI
1619
01:11:56,718 --> 01:11:59,402
absolutely refuses to follow up
1620
01:11:59,520 --> 01:12:01,926
on hundreds of different leads
1621
01:12:02,022 --> 01:12:03,722
after the assassin. Nation.
1622
01:12:03,840 --> 01:12:05,626
Everything from the guy that got
1623
01:12:05,712 --> 01:12:09,027
supposedly got a chip hit from a bullet fragment.
1624
01:12:09,110 --> 01:12:10,682
They don't follow up on that one.
1625
01:12:10,800 --> 01:12:14,173
They don't follow up on many witnesses and what
1626
01:12:14,256 --> 01:12:15,242
they had to say.
1627
01:12:15,360 --> 01:12:17,597
Leading conspiracy theorists to
1628
01:12:17,680 --> 01:12:19,533
believe that the FBI must be
1629
01:12:19,616 --> 01:12:23,222
involved in a cover up of
the Kennedy assassination.
1630
01:12:23,350 --> 01:12:24,314
But they're not.
1631
01:12:24,416 --> 01:12:27,098
They know what happened and they don't care.
1632
01:12:27,248 --> 01:12:30,123
Why bother following up on
leads when you know that's
1633
01:12:30,206 --> 01:12:31,090
not what happened?
1634
01:12:31,224 --> 01:12:32,933
So the reason that the FBI is
1635
01:12:33,016 --> 01:12:35,125
not following up on all these
1636
01:12:35,208 --> 01:12:37,467
great leads is because the FBI
1637
01:12:37,550 --> 01:12:39,774
doesn't want to waste their
energy and their resources
1638
01:12:39,886 --> 01:12:41,714
following up on stuff that isn't true.
1639
01:12:41,816 --> 01:12:43,627
Kennedy had already been warned
1640
01:12:43,710 --> 01:12:45,429
earlier that somebody was going
1641
01:12:45,512 --> 01:12:47,637
to try to do a hit on him from
1642
01:12:47,720 --> 01:12:49,202
a high rise office building.
1643
01:12:49,320 --> 01:12:50,693
So it would make you think that
1644
01:12:50,776 --> 01:12:52,037
the Secret Service would even be
1645
01:12:52,120 --> 01:12:55,907
more willing and ready to
make sure that every window
1646
01:12:55,990 --> 01:12:57,094
was closed.
1647
01:12:57,286 --> 01:12:59,610
It's almost as if they didn't really care.
1648
01:12:59,744 --> 01:13:01,546
That's what the whole scene looks like.
1649
01:13:01,632 --> 01:13:03,882
But they were definitely told to. Back away.
1650
01:13:04,000 --> 01:13:05,747
And so procedures for Secret
1651
01:13:05,830 --> 01:13:07,853
Service when a car is in the
1652
01:13:07,936 --> 01:13:09,923
open like that Clint Eastwood
1653
01:13:10,006 --> 01:13:11,530
actually made a movie about this
1654
01:13:11,664 --> 01:13:13,725
is you run the Secret Service
1655
01:13:13,808 --> 01:13:18,746
agent runs with the car right next to the President.
1656
01:13:18,912 --> 01:13:22,125
So it should have been a
Secret Service agent running
1657
01:13:22,208 --> 01:13:25,210
with the car, blocking the President's body
1658
01:13:25,344 --> 01:13:27,788
from any projectiles coming through,
1659
01:13:28,118 --> 01:13:30,674
sacrificing their own life
to protect the President,
1660
01:13:30,776 --> 01:13:32,626
which is what they're supposed to be doing.
1661
01:13:32,792 --> 01:13:34,805
But this is the only time that
1662
01:13:34,888 --> 01:13:36,325
the Secret Service is called
1663
01:13:36,408 --> 01:13:38,126
completely off from protecting
1664
01:13:38,222 --> 01:13:40,382
the perimeter of the limousine.
1665
01:13:40,510 --> 01:13:42,517
And they're hanging actually way
1666
01:13:42,600 --> 01:13:44,590
back behind the limousine.
1667
01:13:44,734 --> 01:13:47,506
And the conspiracy theorists say, oh,
1668
01:13:47,672 --> 01:13:50,606
they knew that there was
going to be an assassination,
1669
01:13:50,702 --> 01:13:52,998
and they didn't want to get hit by the bullets,
1670
01:13:53,118 --> 01:13:54,573
so they went and backed up.
1671
01:13:54,656 --> 01:13:56,042
But that's not what happened.
1672
01:13:56,160 --> 01:13:58,186
What happened is they were being
1673
01:13:58,352 --> 01:14:00,851
protected from being witnesses to the squib.
1674
01:14:00,934 --> 01:14:02,888
You wanted as few people to see.
1675
01:14:03,398 --> 01:14:07,498
Squib being put on the face
and going off as possible,
1676
01:14:07,648 --> 01:14:10,614
which is also why the crowds are so sparse.
1677
01:14:10,726 --> 01:14:12,717
They purposely made sure that
1678
01:14:12,800 --> 01:14:14,621
only certain number of people
1679
01:14:14,704 --> 01:14:17,274
got into that area where this was going to happen,
1680
01:14:17,456 --> 01:14:20,854
and so that there would be fewer witnesses.
1681
01:14:21,046 --> 01:14:23,958
They did ask members of the mob
1682
01:14:24,118 --> 01:14:25,974
after the assassination,
1683
01:14:26,166 --> 01:14:29,874
high ranking members of the mob, not low guys,
1684
01:14:30,056 --> 01:14:32,562
if they knew who shot Kennedy.
Right.
1685
01:14:32,680 --> 01:14:35,707
And every mobster points at other mobsters.
1686
01:14:35,790 --> 01:14:38,283
And so it must have been them, must have been Johnny
1687
01:14:38,366 --> 01:14:41,634
Rosselini who did it, because I didn't do it, right?
1688
01:14:41,736 --> 01:14:42,997
But he must have done it.
1689
01:14:43,080 --> 01:14:45,214
He had a gripe against the Kennedys.
1690
01:14:45,326 --> 01:14:47,858
And so the mobs all pointing at each other.
1691
01:14:48,008 --> 01:14:49,428
But here's the thing.
1692
01:14:49,798 --> 01:14:56,851
The mob is really mad at
the Kennedys for investigating
1693
01:14:56,934 --> 01:14:59,997
organized crime, so they have a motive in
1694
01:15:00,080 --> 01:15:01,782
shooting and killing Kennedy,
1695
01:15:01,910 --> 01:15:04,266
right? Kennedy. Knows this.
1696
01:15:04,432 --> 01:15:06,390
His father was in the mob.
1697
01:15:06,534 --> 01:15:09,146
They know everything that's going on, all right?
1698
01:15:09,232 --> 01:15:11,037
Kennedy knows that the mob has
1699
01:15:11,120 --> 01:15:13,274
a hit out on him, all right?
1700
01:15:13,376 --> 01:15:15,405
Maybe several hits out on him.
1701
01:15:15,488 --> 01:15:21,517
So what I think he did was
he decided to supersede the
1702
01:15:21,600 --> 01:15:25,766
mob and do it himself, get out of the presidency.
1703
01:15:25,942 --> 01:15:29,426
And the mob would not really know what happened,
1704
01:15:29,592 --> 01:15:31,586
except that one of them had done it.
1705
01:15:31,672 --> 01:15:33,931
But everyone was keeping their mouth shut,
1706
01:15:34,014 --> 01:15:35,605
and so no one knew who did it.
1707
01:15:35,688 --> 01:15:37,954
And the mob people themselves
1708
01:15:38,136 --> 01:15:39,957
expressed surprise that they
1709
01:15:40,040 --> 01:15:42,805
haven't heard the rumors about who actually did it,
1710
01:15:42,888 --> 01:15:44,642
because they're all talking to each other.
1711
01:15:44,760 --> 01:15:46,482
They all know everything's going on.
1712
01:15:46,600 --> 01:15:49,182
And so they knew that there was a hit on Kennedy.
1713
01:15:49,310 --> 01:15:50,677
They thought that one of them
1714
01:15:50,760 --> 01:15:52,517
had done the hit on Kennedy and
1715
01:15:52,600 --> 01:15:56,268
had successfully kept it hidden from even them.
1716
01:15:57,438 --> 01:16:00,477
Kennedy's great benefit is that
1717
01:16:00,560 --> 01:16:02,998
his family is protected. Now, they would frequently.
1718
01:16:03,238 --> 01:16:05,722
Kill your wife and kids before they killed you,
1719
01:16:05,840 --> 01:16:07,565
just to really rub it in on you.
1720
01:16:07,655 --> 01:16:09,301
So Kennedy was probably
really afraid of that, right?
1721
01:16:09,962 --> 01:16:13,236
So he decided to do it himself for whatever reason.
1722
01:16:13,386 --> 01:16:17,655
But whatever reason it was, it stopped the mob from
1723
01:16:17,738 --> 01:16:19,276
going any further.
1724
01:16:20,978 --> 01:16:22,978
(piano note)
1725
01:16:23,296 --> 01:16:26,006
I just want to reiterate that
1726
01:16:27,176 --> 01:16:30,301
the people who have been examining the Kennedy
1727
01:16:30,384 --> 01:16:32,646
assassination, no matter who they are,
1728
01:16:33,496 --> 01:16:34,804
they are wrong.
1729
01:16:34,970 --> 01:16:38,768
Wrong not because they did a bad investigation.
1730
01:16:38,912 --> 01:16:41,405
They're wrong because
they're ignorant of what a squib
1731
01:16:41,488 --> 01:16:43,206
is and how it works.
1732
01:16:43,656 --> 01:16:46,503
I hope that my explanation for
1733
01:16:46,586 --> 01:16:48,695
how a squib works will make them
1734
01:16:48,778 --> 01:16:51,935
see be that Kennedy faked his
1735
01:16:52,018 --> 01:16:53,726
own death for whatever reason.
1736
01:17:03,176 --> 01:17:03,776
It.
1737
01:17:05,376 --> 01:17:06,991
Is there any other evidence that
1738
01:17:07,074 --> 01:17:09,356
the entire event was faked?
1739
01:17:09,696 --> 01:17:13,381
On November 27, just five days after being shot
1740
01:17:13,464 --> 01:17:15,896
in the back with a high powered rifle,
1741
01:17:16,056 --> 01:17:19,196
governor John Connolly gave this interview.
1742
01:17:21,216 --> 01:17:23,756
What other reflections have you had, Governor?
1743
01:17:24,416 --> 01:17:25,726
Only that maybe,
1744
01:17:26,976 --> 01:17:30,726
Martin, that the President of the United States
1745
01:17:32,216 --> 01:17:34,276
has resolved for this great tragedy
1746
01:17:34,360 --> 01:17:37,608
It is nothing more than a
manifestation of an extremism
1747
01:17:37,784 --> 01:17:39,208
on both sides.
1748
01:17:39,384 --> 01:17:44,192
That basically is the genesis
of our self destruction.
1749
01:17:44,336 --> 01:17:46,496
If we're ever going to be destroyed.
1750
01:17:46,688 --> 01:17:49,799
I am not the least fearful of
1751
01:17:49,882 --> 01:17:53,940
any foreign enemy so long
as we have within ourselves
1752
01:17:55,560 --> 01:17:58,480
not hate, but human understanding,
1753
01:17:58,640 --> 01:18:01,670
not passion, prejudice, but reason.
1754
01:18:02,040 --> 01:18:05,700
Intolerance and not ignorance,
1755
01:18:06,080 --> 01:18:09,836
but knowledge and the willingness to give
1756
01:18:10,018 --> 01:18:10,837
that knowledge.
1757
01:18:10,920 --> 01:18:12,255
This is the only answer I can
1758
01:18:12,338 --> 01:18:15,290
give. Martin Wang. He's gone.
1759
01:18:17,566 --> 01:18:18,830
Thank you.
1760
01:18:19,600 --> 01:18:21,503
He appears to be in fairly good
1761
01:18:21,586 --> 01:18:23,519
condition considering what he
1762
01:18:23,602 --> 01:18:25,532
claims to have had happened.
1763
01:18:25,666 --> 01:18:26,975
One would think that he would
1764
01:18:27,058 --> 01:18:28,719
have been on painkillers and
1765
01:18:28,802 --> 01:18:30,575
other drugs having been shot in
1766
01:18:30,658 --> 01:18:32,549
the back by a high powered rifle
1767
01:18:32,632 --> 01:18:34,104
just a few days earlier.
1768
01:18:34,232 --> 01:18:38,060
But he appears very sober, clear headed and healthy
1769
01:18:38,480 --> 01:18:40,239
Listen to this phone call made
1770
01:18:40,322 --> 01:18:42,368
ten days after the assassination
1771
01:18:42,464 --> 01:18:46,340
between Jacqueline Kennedy
and the new president, LBJ.
1772
01:18:48,760 --> 01:18:49,956
Mr. President.
1773
01:18:50,138 --> 01:18:54,519
I just wanted you to know you were loved and by so
1774
01:18:54,602 --> 01:18:57,030
many ends so much.
1775
01:18:57,640 --> 01:18:59,828
I'm one of them. I tried.
1776
01:18:59,914 --> 01:19:01,559
I didn't dare bother you again.
1777
01:19:01,642 --> 01:19:03,255
But I got Kenny O'Donnell over
1778
01:19:03,338 --> 01:19:05,415
here to give you a message if he ever saw you.
1779
01:19:05,498 --> 01:19:07,519
Did he give to yet about my
1780
01:19:07,602 --> 01:19:09,919
letter that was waiting for me
1781
01:19:10,002 --> 01:19:11,205
last night? Listen sweetie.
1782
01:19:11,288 --> 01:19:12,956
Now first thing you got to learn
1783
01:19:13,138 --> 01:19:14,559
you got some things to learn.
1784
01:19:14,642 --> 01:19:16,543
And one of them is that you don't. Bother me,
1785
01:19:16,626 --> 01:19:17,720
give me strength.
1786
01:19:17,880 --> 01:19:20,341
But I wasn't going to send you in one more letter.
1787
01:19:20,424 --> 01:19:22,847
And I wish don't send me anything.
1788
01:19:22,930 --> 01:19:24,783
You just come over and put your arm around me.
1789
01:19:24,866 --> 01:19:26,655
That's all you do when you
1790
01:19:26,738 --> 01:19:27,759
haven't got anything else to do.
1791
01:19:27,842 --> 01:19:28,687
Let's take a walk.
1792
01:19:28,770 --> 01:19:30,293
Let's walk around the backyard
1793
01:19:30,376 --> 01:19:32,655
and just let me tell you how
1794
01:19:32,738 --> 01:19:34,783
much you mean to all of us and
1795
01:19:34,866 --> 01:19:38,053
how we can carry on if you give us a little strength.
1796
01:19:38,136 --> 01:19:40,780
You know what I want to say to you about that letter?
1797
01:19:41,160 --> 01:19:43,335
I Know how rare a letter is in
1798
01:19:43,418 --> 01:19:44,992
a president's handwriting?
1799
01:19:45,136 --> 01:19:48,535
Do you know that I've got
more in your handwriting than
1800
01:19:48,618 --> 01:19:50,230
I do in Jack's now?
1801
01:19:50,760 --> 01:19:52,359
And for you to write it at this
1802
01:19:52,442 --> 01:19:56,749
time and then to send me
that thing today of your tape
1803
01:19:56,832 --> 01:19:58,310
announcement and everything,
1804
01:19:58,840 --> 01:20:00,263
I want you to just know this,
1805
01:20:00,346 --> 01:20:02,055
that I told my mama a long time
1806
01:20:02,138 --> 01:20:03,559
ago when everybody else gave
1807
01:20:03,642 --> 01:20:05,964
up about my election in 48.
1808
01:20:06,122 --> 01:20:07,839
My mother and my wife and my
1809
01:20:07,922 --> 01:20:11,375
sisters and you females got a lot of courage that
1810
01:20:11,458 --> 01:20:12,588
we men don't have.
1811
01:20:12,674 --> 01:20:15,756
And so we have to rely on you and depend on you and.
1812
01:20:16,040 --> 01:20:17,310
Got something to do.
1813
01:20:17,840 --> 01:20:19,775
You got the President relying on you,
1814
01:20:19,858 --> 01:20:21,710
and this is not the first thing you have,
1815
01:20:22,080 --> 01:20:23,535
so they're not many women, you know,
1816
01:20:23,618 --> 01:20:25,125
run around with a good many presidents.
1817
01:20:25,208 --> 01:20:27,183
So you just bear that in mind.
1818
01:20:27,266 --> 01:20:28,735
You got the biggest job of your life.
1819
01:20:28,818 --> 01:20:30,469
I ran around with two presidents.
1820
01:20:30,552 --> 01:20:32,270
That's what they'll say about me.
1821
01:20:33,520 --> 01:20:35,768
Okay. Anytime. Goodbye.
1822
01:20:35,864 --> 01:20:37,023
Thank you for calling, Mr.
1823
01:20:37,106 --> 01:20:39,087
President. Goodbye. Do come by.
1824
01:20:39,170 --> 01:20:40,030
I will.
1825
01:20:41,400 --> 01:20:43,559
But this is the first time they
1826
01:20:43,642 --> 01:20:46,973
have spoken since the killing of her husband. LBJ.
1827
01:20:47,056 --> 01:20:50,336
Doesn't spend a moment consoling her about her loss.
1828
01:20:50,448 --> 01:20:53,085
Even weirder, she isn't sad and doesn't
1829
01:20:53,168 --> 01:20:54,512
appear to be mourning.
1830
01:20:54,656 --> 01:20:56,519
But perhaps the strangest part
1831
01:20:56,602 --> 01:20:57,879
of this phone call is that
1832
01:20:57,962 --> 01:21:00,384
President Lyndon Johnson LBJ.
1833
01:21:00,512 --> 01:21:03,639
Is apparently coming on to
Jackie Kennedy and is trying
1834
01:21:03,722 --> 01:21:05,284
to have sex with her.
1835
01:21:06,170 --> 01:21:09,125
As he was being sworn in for president on Air Force
1836
01:21:09,208 --> 01:21:12,997
One in Dallas, LBJ was given a wink and a smile
1837
01:21:13,080 --> 01:21:15,128
by Congressman Albert Thomas.
1838
01:21:15,224 --> 01:21:15,824
Many found.
1839
01:21:16,280 --> 01:21:19,349
Rude and inappropriate,
especially with Jackie standing
1840
01:21:19,432 --> 01:21:21,020
right next to LBJ.
1841
01:21:21,360 --> 01:21:25,023
Perhaps in the context of
actually understanding what
1842
01:21:25,106 --> 01:21:27,359
really just occurred, the wink may have been
1843
01:21:27,442 --> 01:21:28,380
appropriate.
1844
01:21:29,200 --> 01:21:32,655
Boston University history
professor Robert Dalek was
1845
01:21:32,738 --> 01:21:34,255
visiting the Kennedys at the
1846
01:21:34,338 --> 01:21:35,711
White House shortly after the
1847
01:21:35,794 --> 01:21:37,637
Bay of Pigs incident. Quote.
1848
01:21:37,720 --> 01:21:39,295
He had heard a lecture at the
1849
01:21:39,378 --> 01:21:40,821
White House by distinguished
1850
01:21:40,904 --> 01:21:43,056
historian David Herbert Donald,
1851
01:21:43,168 --> 01:21:45,117
a Lincoln Civil War expert.
1852
01:21:45,200 --> 01:21:47,588
Unquote. Professor Dalek said.
1853
01:21:47,674 --> 01:21:51,328
Quote at that lecture,
Kennedy asked Donald if Lincoln
1854
01:21:51,424 --> 01:21:54,916
would his reputation had lived be as great as it is.
1855
01:21:55,018 --> 01:21:58,039
Donald said probably not,
because he would have had to
1856
01:21:58,122 --> 01:22:01,700
wrestle with the post Civil War era unquote.
1857
01:22:02,600 --> 01:22:05,885
Dalek remembers that this
information had a profound
1858
01:22:05,968 --> 01:22:07,580
effect on JFK.
1859
01:22:08,283 --> 01:22:10,283
(uplifting music)
1860
01:22:11,390 --> 01:22:15,030
Perhaps he wanted a legacy
also similar to Lincoln's.
1861
01:22:17,800 --> 01:22:22,965
On March 14, 1967, JFK's body was quietly exhumed
1862
01:22:23,048 --> 01:22:26,015
from his grave at Arlington Cemetery and moved to
1863
01:22:26,098 --> 01:22:27,112
another location.
1864
01:22:27,256 --> 01:22:28,879
What was the real reason for
1865
01:22:28,962 --> 01:22:30,751
exhuming the President's body in
1866
01:22:30,834 --> 01:22:33,100
the middle of the night without telling anyone?
1867
01:22:33,250 --> 01:22:35,928
No reason has ever been given for this action.
1868
01:22:36,024 --> 01:22:39,772
If JFK faked his death, the question becomes why?
1869
01:22:39,906 --> 01:22:41,933
Perhaps it was for number of reasons.
1870
01:22:42,016 --> 01:22:46,500
Perhaps the mob had put out a hit on him in early 1963.
1871
01:22:46,650 --> 01:22:48,109
Perhaps there were other rumors
1872
01:22:48,192 --> 01:22:51,028
of assassinations that we have never heard about.
1873
01:22:51,194 --> 01:22:54,679
It is not well known, but JFK was suffering from
1874
01:22:54,762 --> 01:22:55,837
Addison's disease.
1875
01:22:55,920 --> 01:22:57,815
He was in constant pain and had
1876
01:22:57,898 --> 01:22:59,437
to wear a brace on his neck.
1877
01:22:59,520 --> 01:23:01,559
Possibly he had been told he had
1878
01:23:01,642 --> 01:23:03,239
a limited period of time left
1879
01:23:03,322 --> 01:23:06,510
and he didn't want to spend
that time being President.
1880
01:23:07,280 --> 01:23:09,295
It was also well known that the
1881
01:23:09,378 --> 01:23:12,597
marriage between JFK and Jackie was on the rocks.
1882
01:23:12,680 --> 01:23:15,295
Things had cooled considerably over the course of
1883
01:23:15,378 --> 01:23:15,978
the Presidency.
1884
01:23:16,360 --> 01:23:18,216
With both of them having affairs.
1885
01:23:18,328 --> 01:23:21,464
JFK's sexual escapades are legendary.
1886
01:23:21,592 --> 01:23:24,460
It was said that he bedded Marilyn Monroe,
1887
01:23:25,040 --> 01:23:28,556
Judith Exner, who had mob ties, and other women.
1888
01:23:28,658 --> 01:23:30,629
But there was one woman that JFK.
1889
01:23:30,712 --> 01:23:32,399
Was seen in private that he may
1890
01:23:32,482 --> 01:23:34,030
have fallen in love with.
1891
01:23:36,000 --> 01:23:39,759
It was well known that one of JFK's mistresses was
1892
01:23:39,842 --> 01:23:43,735
Mary Pinchot Meyer, a beautiful socialite in the
1893
01:23:43,818 --> 01:23:45,680
Washington, DC. Setting.
1894
01:23:45,840 --> 01:23:50,868
In 1945, Mary married Cord
Meyer, who later became head
1895
01:23:50,954 --> 01:23:52,100
of the CIA.
1896
01:23:53,640 --> 01:23:55,888
Her sister Tony would marry CIA
1897
01:23:55,984 --> 01:23:58,887
asset and eventual editor of the Washington Post,
1898
01:23:58,970 --> 01:24:00,093
Benjamin Bradley.
1899
01:24:00,176 --> 01:24:02,964
Ben Bradley would later
bring down another president,
1900
01:24:03,082 --> 01:24:05,565
president Nixon, when he published damaging
1901
01:24:05,648 --> 01:24:07,765
information information
concerning the Watergate
1902
01:24:07,848 --> 01:24:11,660
burglary leading eventually
to Nixon's resignation
1903
01:24:13,200 --> 01:24:15,850
on October 12, 1964. Just the.
1904
01:24:16,040 --> 01:24:19,144
Eleven months after JFK's fake assassination,
1905
01:24:19,272 --> 01:24:21,333
Mary Pinchot Meyer was murdered.
1906
01:24:21,416 --> 01:24:24,428
And her murder has many odd elements to it.
1907
01:24:24,514 --> 01:24:27,173
It was around 1230 on a sunny afternoon,
1908
01:24:27,256 --> 01:24:29,013
and Mary was taking her usual
1909
01:24:29,096 --> 01:24:31,413
afternoon walk on the DC towpath.
1910
01:24:31,496 --> 01:24:34,213
Two men, Henry Wiggins and William Branch,
1911
01:24:34,296 --> 01:24:37,084
who were working near the towpath on a car,
1912
01:24:37,202 --> 01:24:39,029
heard two gunshots and a woman
1913
01:24:39,112 --> 01:24:41,070
crying out, Someone help me.
1914
01:24:41,400 --> 01:24:46,317
They looked across the canal and saw a man with a gun
1915
01:24:46,400 --> 01:24:48,733
standing over a woman laying on the path.
1916
01:24:48,816 --> 01:24:50,877
Wiggins ran to call the police.
1917
01:24:50,960 --> 01:24:54,736
The man was later arrested
by police and identified
1918
01:24:54,848 --> 01:24:56,660
as Ray Crump, Jr.
1919
01:24:58,920 --> 01:25:01,376
This is where things start to get weird.
1920
01:25:01,568 --> 01:25:03,255
Wiggins made the call to the
1921
01:25:03,338 --> 01:25:07,340
police at between 1223 in 1225,
1922
01:25:07,490 --> 01:25:09,295
but the prosecutor reports that
1923
01:25:09,378 --> 01:25:11,852
the police arrived at 1224.
1924
01:25:11,986 --> 01:25:13,855
It is as if they knew about the
1925
01:25:13,938 --> 01:25:15,320
murder before it occurred.
1926
01:25:16,280 --> 01:25:18,847
Furthermore, no ambulance was called in.
1927
01:25:18,930 --> 01:25:21,327
How could they know she was 100%
1928
01:25:21,410 --> 01:25:25,708
dead if there was a remote chance at saving her life?
1929
01:25:25,794 --> 01:25:28,220
Shouldn't they try and do everything they can?
1930
01:25:28,370 --> 01:25:30,312
The police are not doctors.
1931
01:25:30,456 --> 01:25:32,453
Why was just the homicide squad
1932
01:25:32,536 --> 01:25:35,420
called in after getting notified by the police?
1933
01:25:36,640 --> 01:25:38,559
Other high weirdness is the fact
1934
01:25:38,642 --> 01:25:40,479
that they could not find the car
1935
01:25:40,562 --> 01:25:43,476
that Wiggins claims he was working on. The two men,
1936
01:25:43,578 --> 01:25:46,717
Wiggins and Branch, were joined by a third witness,
1937
01:25:46,800 --> 01:25:50,464
William Mitchell, who passed by Mary while jogging.
1938
01:25:50,592 --> 01:25:53,236
These are the only three
people who witnessed anything
1939
01:25:53,338 --> 01:25:54,630
close to the event.
1940
01:25:55,080 --> 01:25:57,197
It turns out later that Mitchell
1941
01:25:57,280 --> 01:26:00,144
was an alias for a man who worked at the CIA.
1942
01:26:00,272 --> 01:26:02,932
No record of his identity was ever found,
1943
01:26:03,066 --> 01:26:06,175
and we don't know why he was near her when she was
1944
01:26:06,258 --> 01:26:07,660
supposedly murdered.
1945
01:26:09,120 --> 01:26:11,685
Did both JFK and Mary Pinchot
1946
01:26:11,768 --> 01:26:14,412
Meyer fake their deaths so they could be together?
1947
01:26:17,000 --> 01:26:18,693
The fact that she has serious
1948
01:26:18,776 --> 01:26:20,709
connections with the Washington, DC.
1949
01:26:20,792 --> 01:26:22,703
Establishment and that her ex
1950
01:26:22,786 --> 01:26:24,719
husband had been the head of the
1951
01:26:24,802 --> 01:26:26,879
CIA would give one pause to
1952
01:26:26,962 --> 01:26:30,079
consider also the idea that an
1953
01:26:30,162 --> 01:26:32,344
ex-wife of the head of the CIA
1954
01:26:32,472 --> 01:26:34,319
can be mysteriously murdered in
1955
01:26:34,402 --> 01:26:38,060
public in broad daylight
and no one is ever convicted.
1956
01:26:39,360 --> 01:26:41,367
But the strangest part of the story,
1957
01:26:41,450 --> 01:26:44,368
and one pertinent to the
narrative being constructed,
1958
01:26:44,464 --> 01:26:47,680
is the story of young journalist Vance morrow.
1959
01:26:47,840 --> 01:26:49,655
Vance heard the police report of
1960
01:26:49,738 --> 01:26:52,989
Wiggins phone call concerning
the murder right nearby.
1961
01:26:53,072 --> 01:26:55,927
He ran to the scene, getting
there before anybody else.
1962
01:26:56,010 --> 01:26:57,735
He reported seeing no blood on
1963
01:26:57,818 --> 01:26:59,508
Mary Pinchot Meyer's body.
1964
01:26:59,594 --> 01:27:02,740
He wrote about this in the Smithsonian magazine.
1965
01:27:04,360 --> 01:27:07,928
She was shot twice, and yet no blood at the scene.
1966
01:27:08,104 --> 01:27:11,820
Frankly, the photos that were taken look staged.
1967
01:27:12,800 --> 01:27:15,720
It has also been reported
that CIA counterintelligence.
1968
01:27:16,440 --> 01:27:18,389
Officer James Jesus Angleton
1969
01:27:18,472 --> 01:27:21,359
broke into Mary's house that same afternoon and
1970
01:27:21,442 --> 01:27:22,632
stole her diary.
1971
01:27:22,776 --> 01:27:24,879
Did Mary fake her death also so
1972
01:27:24,962 --> 01:27:28,030
that she could join her lover in some faraway land?
1973
01:27:29,440 --> 01:27:30,933
There is enough strangeness
1974
01:27:31,016 --> 01:27:32,725
around the death of Mary Pinchot
1975
01:27:32,808 --> 01:27:35,820
Meyer to give one pause for reflection.
1976
01:27:37,040 --> 01:27:39,861
There were rumors at the
time, mostly in the tabloids,
1977
01:27:39,944 --> 01:27:41,975
that JFK was live and well and
1978
01:27:42,058 --> 01:27:43,997
living on Aristotle Onnasus'
1979
01:27:44,080 --> 01:27:45,700
island Scorpius.
1980
01:27:47,800 --> 01:27:49,495
The fact that soon after the
1981
01:27:49,578 --> 01:27:51,629
assassination his wife Jackie
1982
01:27:51,712 --> 01:27:55,309
would marry Aristotle
Onassus lends some credence
1983
01:27:55,392 --> 01:27:56,580
to these rumors.
1984
01:27:58,520 --> 01:28:02,493
We will probably never figure out exactly why JFK
1985
01:28:02,576 --> 01:28:03,860
faked his death.
1986
01:28:04,840 --> 01:28:08,092
We do know that this event
had a very negative effect,
1987
01:28:08,226 --> 01:28:09,919
both on the citizens of the
1988
01:28:10,002 --> 01:28:13,390
country and on the political system as well.
1989
01:28:14,000 --> 01:28:15,800
It is a tragedy that a leader.
1990
01:28:16,440 --> 01:28:19,464
With the charisma and charm of John F. Kennedy,
1991
01:28:19,592 --> 01:28:21,423
decided to leave his position as
1992
01:28:21,506 --> 01:28:25,230
president and also leave behind his past life.
1993
01:28:28,980 --> 01:28:33,132
Perhaps after almost 60 years of pain and struggle,
1994
01:28:33,276 --> 01:28:37,730
we as a country can finally put the issue to rest.
1995
01:28:38,686 --> 01:28:42,386
(music swells)
1996
01:29:06,664 --> 01:29:10,859
(soft piano music)
