Grassy Knoll Institute: Moments Before Shots Rang Out

Moments Before Shots Rang Out

Moments Before Impact

New film footage was donated today, on presidents day, of president John F. Kennedy’s motorcade moments before shots rang out killing JFK.

George Jefferies, the cameraman on the film, donated the film to the Sixth Floor Museum in Dallas today. He put away the film for over 43 years thinking it wasn’t of any real value or importance but was coaxed to bring the footage to the light of day once again. The film is very clear with bright colors and completely in focus, unlike the Zapruder film which was the only known film in existence of the assassination.

The film clearly shows other people with video camera’s filming away as the presidents limousine passed by them. The Grassy Knoll Institute wonders if perhaps, there are many more amateur videotographers with video footage of the president with clearer focus, a different angle, a better perspective, of the president getting shot? The odds are very good that an event such as this one, hundreds of bystanders had camera’s and 8 millimeter movie camera’s focused on the president. And only one film was confiscated and taken in for evidence.

Why is that only the Zapruder film, a choppy out of focus film, the only video evidence of the Kennedy assassination? Just compare the quality of Zapruders film to Jefferies and the results are night and day. Perhaps there are other films, from other angles, showing the fatal blasts to Kennedy’s head. Perhaps those reels have been confiscated from the bystanders, and later returned to them after inspection for any evidence captured on film that could shed light on the killing.

Perhaps people are afraid to submit their footage for they know they captured something other than what has been drilled into the American public for 44 plus years. Maybe someone, in their 80′s are waiting for death to come knocking on their door before they reveal to the world what really happened on that fateful 1963 November day in Dallas.

INTERESTING THAT THE KENNEDY ARCHIVES WERE SEALED ‘FOREVER’. THE LINCOLN ARCHIVES WERE SEALED FOR 75 YEARS, WHICH MEANT 1940 AS THE MAGIC YEAR OF REVELATION. THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT NOTWITHSTANDING, THE GOV’T STILL FLATLY REFUSES TO OPEN THE LINCOLN ARCHIVES, WHILE THE ‘SEALED FOREVER’ KENNEDY ARCHIVES ARE SLOWLY BEING OPENED ONE PARAGRAPH AT A TIME.

And does anyone really think that one shred of evidence is concealed in the sealed documents? No way. Everything is destroyed. All tracks are covered. Even the assassin (s) himself has been eliminated.

I think anyone who doesn’t believe there was a “plan” to kill JFK is delusional at this point. The naysayers enjoy trying to shoot down all of the theories but I think to them, it’s almost a game. The fact is that LBJ wanted to be president very badly and it was public knowledge that he hated being VP. JFK and his brother were in the process of trying to kick him off their ticket for the 64 campaign so he had no other way to become president. I believe he and Hoover started the “plan” along with perhaps, Allen Dulles, the CIA director JFK had kicked to the curb. Who actually did the shooting (Cuban exiles, Mafia, CIA, Secret Service, etc.), I don’t really have any theories on but I believe it was well orchestrated. If you remember after the assassination, Hoover wrote the FBI report (lone gunman) on the assassination and finished it rather quickly for such a catastrophic event (like maybe around Dec 12, if I remember correctly). After that, LBJ and Hoover met and discussed the need to create their own committee to investigate the case (Warren Commission) (there is actual audio of this conversation) and also the importance of the lone gunman theory to be the only one agreed upon. They even appointed Allen Dulles to be on the committee. The Warren Commission’s sole mission was to “corroborate” the Hoover FBI report i.e. lone gunman theory. That’s not a true investigation but rather a compilation of the “appropriate” evidence to support a conclusion you have already come to. One of the more telling details of that day was actually some film footage where as the President’s limo is turning onto Elm Street from Houston street, the Secret Service guys are asked to stand down. One of the agents throws his hands up in the air like why are we here if not to walk along beside the President. Oh and one last thing, the HSCA in 1977 concluded that there was “likely” a conspiracy to kill the President. One last factoid that I read and found interesting: in 1963, it was not a Federal crime (felony) to kill the President of the United States. After his death, it become a Federal crime.

  I truly believe there was a plan with multiple shooters to guarantee the assassination.

    well, that is more than likely true. I think as far as that day, there are a few interesting details. 1) The “umbrella man” who opens and closes his umbrella several times (on a very clear sunny day by the way) right as the motorcade was close to the “shooting” spot. To me, that was a signal to the snipers/shooters to commence. 2) there was not only the Texas book Depository where LHO was supposedly shooting from but there was the DalTex Oil Corp building and also the Dallas Courthouse Jail right next to it. The prisoners in the building say they could see gunmen/snipers sitting in the Oil company building as well. Like you said, there were more than likely multiple shooters and perhaps they didn’t all end up having to shoot but were more as backup to “make sure” they accomplished their “mission”. 3) there are pictures of two men after the shootings when everyone else is diving down to the ground or running away frantically in hysterics, they very calmly walk and sit on the sidewalk. One man appears to talk on a walkie talkie or something (I think he has been dubbed “radio man”) as if to say mission accomplished or something of the like. 4) also, the FBI confiscated the Zapruder film for a period of days before anyone could see it – so remember the footage we have seen is more than likely NOT the true complete footage originally taken by Zapruder. They deleted frames and spliced it back together more than likely to hide any obvious evidence. I have also been curious myself about that Stemmons Freeway sign blocking our view almost exactly at the point where Kennedy is first shot in the neck (you see him grasping his neck which is right before the fatal head shot). What happened behind that sign that we can’t see? 5) lastly, the motorcade was driving so much slower than normal and almost came to a complete stop as shots were fired. This is very curious and would make sense if the secret service were in on it. I absolutely believe secret service helped orchestrate it. If you remember, Kennedy mentioned one time he didn’t need secret service because he has his own “boys” to watch his back. It’s all very curious. Oh and one more thing, remember when Jack Ruby said “the world will never know” the true story and that the plot came all the way from the top. You mean the top as in LBJ?….hmmmmmmmmm…..
