  • The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza presented a panel discussion featuring LIFE managing editor Richard Stolley; contributing editor Jim Baker and editorial director Bob Sullivan; and Abraham Zapruder's granddaughter Alexandra as they discussed the 50th anniversary of the date that LIFE mobilized to cover President Kennedy's assassination. This presentation took place on October 26, 2013 as part of a tour to promote their book, "LIFE: The Day Kennedy Died: 50 Years Later LIFE Remembers the Man and the Moment" (2013).

    Who were the secret service agents that viewed the film and had Abraham Zapruder seen the film prior to the meeting with life magazine on November 23rd? I believe that Life magazine did something that you would not see today in the media and that is they kept their word about how they would use the film. I can't believe the character of Abraham Zapruder in less than 24 hours after the crime and had the sense to do the right thing and I feel bad that this probably tortured him the rest of his life.

      This is one program all of the Zapruder film Alterationists should see. They pretend that this film did not exist as these people clearly saw the film the day it was processed.

      The banter at the end about "conspiracy theories" is lame and absurd. Saying Posner's book was good is preposterous.
      Just the fact that two dozen doctors from Parkland hospital described a huge exit wound at the rear occipital parietal is enough to prove the head shot was from the front.
      Of course there are dozens of other points of evidence proving a conspiracy. People like Stolley, who are part of corporate media are never going to admit that the very film he bought proves the conspiracy he denies.

      What was not said here...Life magazine, after a few years, sold the film back to Zapruder--for one dollar.....then, in 1978 there was another government investigation, by the House--they had the power, and decided to take the Z film under their authority--but they by law, were obligated to pay a fair market value to Zapruder for the film...by then, it was determined that the film was worth around $16 million dollars!!!....so the Zapruder family scored big time!...as they said, the film and camera is in the National Archives--forever.

    24:00 Dick agrees with Zapruder at 11PM to show up at 8 AM the next day and Zapruder has the film and shows it to Dick and 2 Secret Service agents. How did he get the film developed? The movie "Parkland," which is free on UA-cam now, shows that the Secret Service (not a reporter) were scrambling to get the film developed on Friday by going to the newspapers and then strongarming a guy who had little experience developing home movie film. I realize that the movie has elements that are invented for the film, I know this. But it still begs the question of how a dressmaker got film developed the same day in Dallas in 1963. The norm back then would have been to send film away, especially movie film, to a developing lab. You'd send it by mail or take it to a drug store and they would send it out. And it would take quite some time to get it back, even 10 years after this. So how did he get it developed?

    • @KenDanieli
      @KenDanieli 2 роки тому +3

      Secret Service had this film on Friday before Dick saw it on Saturday.
      From Zapruder's wiki: Zapruder would later recall that he immediately knew that President Kennedy's wound was fatal as he saw the president's head "...explode like a firecracker."[18][22] Walking back to his office amid the confusion following the shots, Zapruder encountered The Dallas Morning News reporter Harry McCormick, who was standing near Zapruder and noticed he was filming the motorcade. McCormick was acquainted with Agent Forrest Sorrels of the Secret Service's Dallas office, and offered to bring Sorrels to Zapruder's office.[23][24] Zapruder agreed and returned to his office. McCormick later found Sorrels outside the Sheriff's office at Main and Houston, and together they went to Zapruder's office.
      Zapruder agreed to give the film to Sorrels on the condition it would be used only for investigation of the assassination. The three then took the film to the television station WFAA to be developed. After it was realized that WFAA was unable to develop Zapruder's footage, the film was taken to Eastman Kodak's Dallas processing plant later that afternoon where it was immediately developed. As the Kodachrome process requires different equipment for duplication than for simple development, Zapruder's film was not developed until around 6:30 p.m. The original developed film was taken to the Jamieson Film Company, where three additional copies were exposed; these were returned to Kodak around 8 p.m. for processing. Zapruder kept the original, plus one copy, and gave the other two copies to Sorrels, who sent them to Secret Service headquarters in Washington.

    Not many people have considered this, but the Zapruder film was under their control for several weeks, and needless to say, it was doctored too.... especially around the frames between the 1st bullet and the fatal shot, and also that the motor-cade actually stopped - but never shown...

    President John F Kennedy was killed when he was struck by a bullet in the right temple fired across the wooden fence on the grassy knoll by James Files. That bullet was fired from a Remington XP-100 chambered in ,221 Fireball. JFK was also struck by a .308 caliber bullet fired by Charles Nicoletti from a mafia owned .30-06 Mauser from a second story office in the Dal-Tex building. Oswald was not one of the shooters; he never fired a shot. No shots were fired from the school book depository. Dallas Police Officer J. D. Tippit was killed by a member of the CIA/Mafia hit team named Gary (The Raven) Marlowe. Gary knew Tippit from their time on the Bay of Pigs Operation. Gary and J.D. were actually friends, but nobody was supposed to know that Gary and the hit team was in Dallas. So, Gary Marlowe killed his good friend Officer J. D. Tippit. Gary was very disturbed by it and left the team to attend college and live a normal family life. The same group killed Marilyn Monroe, Robert Kennedy, Martin Luther King, and Mary Jo Kopechne. That's the absolute truth....JOHN 8:32.
