The story of the Zapruder film is that JFK was fine and dandy until he disappeared behind the sign. Then it happened behind the sign, which was like the magician’s curtain.

But, JFK was already shot before he disappeared behind the sign, and you can see it in the film. You just have to look closely.

In frame 188, JFK is looking at the spectators and waving. He seems to be OK. But, notice that Jackie is already starting to turn towards him. Now, compare it to frame 206, in which she is turned all the way towards him. She has totally stopped waving and engaging with spectators, and she is focused solely on him. And JFK is not waving and engaging with spectators anymore either. He is pointed straight ahead, and it looks like he has his hand over his face. He didn’t do that. It’s a smudge- one that they added. They did it because he undoubtedly had a distraught look on his face because of what was happening to him- internally.  

Why is Jackie looking at him? Because: she knows that something is wrong; terribly wrong. And she said so in her testimony. She said she was looking left (working the crowd) when she heard “terrible noises.” So, she looked to her right to check on her husband, and she saw that he had a “quizzical” look on his face. That’s quizzical as in: “What is going on inside of me?” Then, in the very next sentence, it went to her seeing a piece of his skull fly off.  

Wait. That doesn’t make sense. His skull flying off was the last thing that happened. It was after frame 313.  How could it go from her first turning to look at him to seeing his head flying off? What about everything in-between?  

It has been admitted the Jackie’s testimony was edited. This is from Google AI:

“Yes, Jackie Kennedy’s testimony was edited by the Warren Commission before publication. The Commission stated they removed "brief" and "irrelevant" portions of her testimony, primarily for reasons of taste and to exclude specific, graphic descriptions of the President's wounds”

Are they kidding? They published graphic images of the President’s wounds. Considering the gravity of this, and the importance of finding out exactly what happened, it is an outrage that they edited her testimony. They did it to change her story; to conform it to the official story.

Jackie said that JFK never spoke. They published that. But, they didn’t ask her if she spoke to him. I tell you that she must have. She must have asked him what was wrong. How could she not?  And don’t anybody say that he couldn’t talk because he was shot in the throat because his larynx was unaffected. Plus, if he couldn’t talk, he would have tried to communicate another way- by gesturing, pointing, etc. But, he didn’t do that, and he didn’t do anything. He did nothing to save himself or protect anyone else. He just sat there like a sitting duck. DON’T YOU UNDERSTAND THAT HIS MIND WAS GONE?

 Yet, at that point, he had suffered no brain damage. All he had was a shallow wound in his back that damaged no vital tissue, and he had a puncture wound in his throat that damaged his trachea some, but did not damage his brain. And yet, he lost his mind? HE LOST HIS MIND DUE TO POISONING, NOT TRAUMA.

It was because of what they shot into him at frame 190. Sprague and Cutler said he was shot at frame 190. But, it wasn’t a bullet. A bullet could not have stopped that short. He was shot in the back, just to the right of the 3^rd thoracic vertebra, with a drug-laced ice flechette. And he rode down the hill that way, not waving, not engaging; but undergoing severe internal changes that worsened by the second.

Then, when he got to the freeway sign, he was shot in the throat by Umbrella Man. It was a very close shot. Umbrella Man was just a few feet away from JFK at the time. And the limo was stopped so that he could do it.

The throat shot obstructed JFK’s breathing. In a panic, he raised his hands to deal with it. It may have been just a bolus of blood, and he cleared it by coughing once with his hand over his mouth. But then, he couldn’t put his arms down. His arms were stuck- frozen in spasm- from the nerve agent that was shot into him.

Jackie didn’t know what happened. She only knew that he was very sick. She placed her hands on his left arm and tried to coax it down. You can see her doing that right here:

 https://oswaldinthedoorway.blogspot.com/2026/02/this-is-jackie-leaning-into-jfks-arm.html  

She got his arm down a little, but his spasms and mental collapse continued. One can only imagine what she said to him. Then he took the fatal head shot which effectively killed him. It took some time for all his vital activity to stop, but he was gone, and the Parkland doctors knew it.

Now, I realize that when you first hear that he was shot with a nerve agent, you recoil. You pull back. It sounds farfetched. It sounds like something from a Mission Impossible movie. I get that. But, it is a known fact that the CIA, in the 1950s, developed a gun that shot an ice dart into people, delivering a nerve agent. You can watch the Church hearing about it right now, where CIA Director William Colby testified about it. If you’re an honest person, who really seeks the truth, you’ll watch it.

So, the poison ice dart is NOT farfetched. You know now that it existed and at that time. Nerve agents work by blocking an enzyme called cholinesterase. Cholinesterase is what turns off acetylcholine, which is the neurotransmitter that tells muscles to contract. Without cholinesterase, muscle contractions keep going. They don’t cease. They continue, and it’s painful. We can see that that was happening to Kennedy; that his muscles were seizing up.

 Knowing that the CIA developed a poison ice dart weapon in the 1950s is a game-changer. It makes the nerve agent hypothesis not just possible and plausible, but compelling. It’s the only thing that explains what we see in the film.

Don’t tell me it was because a bullet went through his neck because a bullet did NOT go through his neck. Why do you think they wouldn’t let Humes dissect Kennedy? Just think about how easy it would have been to find out if the back wound and the throat wound were connected. They wouldn’t let him do it because they knew darn well that those wounds were not connected.

The killing of Kennedy was a State murder followed by 62 years of State lies. But, we can put a stop to it. The most monstrous crime of the 20^th century needs to be exposed, and we can expose it. It’s not going to take money or power or access; just grass-roots unity online. That's all we need. We can do this. So, let's do it.

 This is Jackie leaning into JFK's arm, trying to coax it down. She didn't know what was happening. If she had any thought that he was shot, wouldn't she have gotten down, and gotten him down? 

 Why on Earth would JFK be holding his arms up like that? We could make jokes about it, as I have done. But, he wasn't doing it voluntariliy. He was in spasm. He had no control over it. And he couldn't stop it. He couldn't release it. And he did not, at the time, have a tunnel going through his neck from back to front in the midline. Would you stop and think about how catastrophic that would be? He would have gone into shock and lost consciousness.

 I watched PBS Cold Case: JFK from 2013.

I did vaguely remember it. It features a father and son who did some shooting experiments. But, the program started with them admitting that the Carcano rifle was extremely undesirable, that there were many better rifles that Oswald could have bought. So, why did Oswald buy the Carcano? Because it was cheap.

Let’s step back from that for a second because Oswald denied that he owned a rifle. I know that the FBI said that he mail-ordered one from Chicago, but who are you going to believe? The FBI or Oswald?

Some may think that’s funny, but it’s not. Oswald wasn’t stupid. He professed his innocence, and if he owned a rifle, he certainly would have admitted owning it. He would have said, “Yes, I own a rifle, but I didn’t shoot anyone with it.” It would be insane for an innocent person who owned a rifle to deny that he owned it. I own two guns. Do you think I would ever deny that to the police? If they told me my gun was used to murder someone, I would say, “Well, it wasn’t by me. Someone must have stolen my gun and done it.” I wouldn’t lie, and neither would Oswald.

But, you say you think Oswald was guilty? It doesn’t matter. This was supposed to be an investigation to determine if he was guilty. So, you can’t start off with the assumption that he was. You’re trying to find out if he was. So, you can’t presume he was. You just don’t have the right.

Here is John Armstrong’s brilliant analysis that proves that Oswald did not order a rifle from Chicago.

[https://harveyandlee.net/Guns/Guns.html](https://harveyandlee.net/Guns/Guns.html)

Back to Cold Case JFK, you hear a voice say “Dallas Police had found the rifle, the cartridges, Oswald’s fingerprints- they had the case sewed up in an excellent way in 2 days.”

That was a bold-faced lie. Dallas Police could not find Oswald’s fingerprints on the rifle. Neither could the FBI. Days later, after Oswald was dead, they claimed to find a partial palmprint. That was dubious and certainly not proven, but it’s not a fingerprint.

I’m just 13 minutes into the program, and it is already screaming to me that it’s propaganda.

They said very little about the autopsy, and they left out the most important thing. The autopsists did the whole thing without knowing that there was a bullet wound in the throat. They found what appeared to be a shallow wound in his back, which had no bullet in it. Why didn’t Humes dissect Kennedy and find out exactly where that wound went? The next day Humes talked to Perry and found out about the throat wound. So, why didn’t Humes insist on going back and CONFIRMING that the back wound and the throat wound were connected? And if they wouldn’t let him, then he should have gone on a public rampage of protest, traveling the country, and I mean akin to yelling in the streets that “Soylent Green is people!” Do you understand that there is just no excuse for not doing it?

They also mentioned that a bullet was found on a stretcher, but that bullet was associated with Connally, not JFK. The idea that they were hit by the same bullet wasn’t proposed until April 1964. It had no bearing on what was going on in 1963.

All the doctors except one who probed the wound said that it was located next to T3, including JFK’s personal physician, Admiral George Burkley. He even put it on JFK’s death certificate. A bullet that entered JFK’s back at a downward angle at T3 could not come out his throat.

But, what really matters, and what is screaming at us in no uncertain terms is THEY COULD HAVE EASILY CONFIRMED IF THE BACK AND THROAT WOUNDS WERE CONNECTED, BUT THEY DIDN’T DO IT. That is unforgivable, inexcusable, reprehensible, and intolerable.

Of course, the one doctor who said otherwise was Humes. He didn’t give a spinal segment. He made some arcane measurements and then said it was “slightly above the superior margin of the scapula” which would put it between T1 and T2.

No mention was made of the discrepancy between what the Parkland doctors reported about JFK’s massive head wound and what the autopsy doctors claimed. The Parkland doctors all said that it was in the lower right occiput, and they all demonstrated it with a fist behind their head on the right. However, Humes said the blowout wound was on the top and right side of JFKs’ head, above his right ear. He said that an entrance wound was found slightly above and to the right of the external occipital protuberance, which was in the area that the Parkland doctors said was blown out.

This discrepancy between the Parkland doctors and the Bethesda doctors is Ground Zero in the JFK debate, and the program didn’t even mention it.

Then, they went into the Zapruder film. They said that before JFK disappeared behind the sign, there was no sign that he was hit. That isn’t true. You can see that JFK’s face was obscured before he disappeared behind the sign. And you can plainly see that Jackie had stopped waving and had turned towards him long before they disappeared behind the sign. She knew that something was wrong.

In frame 206, JFK wasn’t waving. It looks like he was covering his face with his hand, but he didn’t do that either. They did it with paint. And you can see that Jackie is turned and looking at him. Supposedly, this was before anything happened to him, but that is a lie. He was already shot in the back, and he was reacting to it.

Then, they got to Luke Hague and his son Mike who were going to test the rifle. First, they wanted to determine if the bullet could cause 7 wounds in 2 men. So, they shot into pine. Huh. I have to laugh. Pine is soft. It’s not a hardwood. You’re lucky if you can pound a nail in it without it splitting.

Then, they shot into gels that were supposed to have the same density as muscle, and they were satisfied that it penetrated far enough into the gel to equal the density of all the tissue affected by the 7 wounds. But, stop a second. What difference does it make? What does it prove? Even if you think the test is valid, which I don’t, it certainly doesn’t prove that Oswald did it.

In other words, this whole thing just presumed that Oswald did own a rifle, that he was up on the 6th floor, and he was shooting at Kennedy. Therefore, all they had to do was establish that the rifle was up to the task, and voila, it meant Oswald must be guilty. But, that is ridiculous. Oswald didn’t even own a rifle. And he wasn’t up on the 6th floor. He was standing in the doorway during the shooting. And, it has never even been proven that any of the shots came from the infamous 6th floor window.

Then, they said that a shot from behind the fence would have traversed Kennedy’s head, meaning gone out the left side. Perhaps if it was an FMJ bullet, but the bullet used in the fatal head shot was a frangible bullet that was designed to explode. And they admitted that there were bullet fragments in Kennedy’s head. But, they assumed the same kind of bullet that caused 7 wounds in 2 men and emerged pristine was significantly deformed the instant it struck his head.

They ended with this old guy named Larry whose job it was to explain how a bullet shot from a downward angle, from way up on the 6th floor at the top of the hill, (remember, they went downhill) could hit Kennedy at the bottom of his skull in back and then for the bullet to go up and exit high on his head. So, supposedly, the bullet went down and then up. Larry explained that the bullet got deformed, which gave it yaw, and it rose like a plane inside Kennedy’s head. He even made a motion with his hand like a plane taking off. And he said that it caused a pressure wave in his head that stimulated every nerve in his body, “and since the back muscles are stronger than the abdominal muscles, it caused him to arch dramatically backwards” which he demonstrated.

Uh, no, he didn’t. JFK did NOT arch dramatically backwards. That’s a crock of bull shit, Larry.

Don’t watch this horrible this thing. It’s awful. It’s a waste of time. It’s just appalling sophistry dressed up in pseudo-scientific lingo. But, do watch Larry because that old blowhard is funny. He comes on near the end. He reminds me of Baghdad Bob from the Iraq War, the same kind of professional bloviator. And Americans liked Baghdad Bob, which is probably why they didn’t harm him. They didn’t execute him, nor did they imprison him. How could they when he was affectionately known as Baghdad Bob? You’ll get a kick out of Larry the same way. Here’s the link. He starts at 49 minutes.

 I found the open door in LBJ's SS car in the Zapruder film too. It's been staring right at us for 62 years, but nobody noticed it. It's the white car that has barely begun the turn from Houston Street. Do you notice that you can see the front wheel entirely? Now, look at the rear wheel. Notice that the left upper quadrant of the tire is obscured. It is obscured by the open door. So, from 9:00 to about 11:00, the tire is obscured by that open door. Cast your eyes back and forth between the front wheel and the rear wheel a few times. That left rear door was open.

This was high on the hill. Ignore the freeway sign. It isn't real. The Stemmons freeway sign was much lower. That sign we're seeing is entirely bogus.

You can see LBJ's grey Lincoln convertible in front of the SS car making the turn from Houston. LBJ's driver is staying back, and I'm sure it's because LBJ told him too. LBJ was afraid. He wasn't told much about the operational part of killing Kennedy. That wasn't his department. His role was the coverup; getting the whole federal government behind the official story. The killing part involved people he didn't know and couldn't trust.

What a brazen act that was, to be in a moving car riding along with the door open? In front of a crowd of people? They really didn't care, did they.

JFK hasn't been shot yet, but he is about to be shot. I am referring to the back shot that hit him to the right of the spine, adjacent to T3. It was a frozen dart that contained a nerve agent and probably other drugs. It did not penetrate very deeply. It was formulated to burst and vanish upon entering.

I have very crisp memories from my youth of digging ice cubes out of a tray and having one burst. It would startle me. And I would look around for it because it seemed to vanish in thin air. Ice has a crystal structure. The bonds between the hydrogen and oxygen in ice are spread apart. There are huge gaps, making ice less dense than liquid water, which is why ice floats on water. Here is a young woman explaining why ice cubes crack and pop, which is the prelude to bursting. Minerals in water interfere with the crystal formation, making the ice more subject to bursting. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/IhvAedCXPuw

So, JFK was hit in the back with the drug-laced ice dart, whose purpose was to immobilize him in the car. The ice burst on impact with the warm body, but because of the high velocity, it did penetrate a little first. And it was all by design. I'm sure they did extensive experiments to determine how long it would take for the drugs to take effect when delivered this way. The extreme slowing of the vehicle was necessary to give it sufficient time. But, we are talking seconds, not minutes. This was right before he was hit.

 I just discovered something that I have been wondering about for decades. Why is the door to LBJ's Secret Service car open in the Altgens photo? It looks like it's still in the intersection. I presumed that since the door was open, the vehicle must have stopped.

But, that assumption was false. The truth is that they were driving along with the door open. You can see them doing it in the Muchmore film. The car was cruising behind the Veep car with the door open.

They made an attempt to blur it, but that didn't work. And as soon as I saw it, my first thought was that it must also be that way in the Nix film, which also captured Houston Street. But, I checked it, and the Houston Street portion of Nix ends before the Veep-SS car comes into view. Now, did it really end there, or did they crop it just because the door was open?

So, the door was open even as they were cruising along Houston. Now, why would that be? I can only speculate.

So, they were there to protect LBJ. And LBJ certainly knew that bullets were going to be flying on Elm Street. We know that LBJ had his driver stay farther back than the usual spacing. We know that LBJ ducked down. We can see that in both Nix and Muchmore.

And in Altgens, we can't see him at all, but I think that's because he was crouched down, and it showed. So, rather than showing that, they just removed him completely. Did I mention that LBJ killed Kennedy? He did. He was one of the principal plotters, and he rose to the top for the obvious reason that he was going to become POTUS. That pretty much makes you King of the Hill.

So, why would LBJ's SS agents be driving along with their door open? I think it was to be able to respond fast if LBJ came under fire. LBJ was really worried about that. It wasn't just that he was entering a Kill Zone and might get shot accidentally. Being a very evil man who had arranged murders before this one, it occurred to him that his enemies might have engineered a simultaneous attack on him and JFK. He knew very well that there were a lot of people who hated his guts.

I'm sure they didn't have the door open the whole motorcade route. But, once they entered Dealey Plaza, which was at the corner of Main and Houston, the danger began. So, they opened the door so that they could get out fast, in case they had to return fire, or run to LBJ.

I tell you, the film-alterers really should have gotten rid of that. It's a bit of a smoking gun. Because, let's face it: there is no innocent excuse for it. You could probably come up with some funny ones. I'll go first: He had the door open because the A/C was broken, and he was trying to create a breeze. He had the door open because it was an isometric exercise, and this trip had cost him a workout. He had the door open because the guy sitting next to him had bad, unrelenting gas.

 Dr. David Meagher is or was a pediatric surgeon of distinction, and he does some JFKing.  He and I have interacted some, contentiously.  But, I am glad he’s here because being a doctor and a surgeon, he has the ability to assess JFK’s condition in an educated way, unlike most people. And now, I want him to address the Single Bullet Theory because it is my contention, having been a chiropractor for almost 50 years, that the Zapruder film tells us that JFK could NOT have been struck with a bullet that traversed his neck from back to front.

I’ll begin by pointing out that Dr. David Mantik informed me that he did a precise anatomical analysis and determined that if a bullet had entered JFK’s neck just to the right of the spine and exited in the midline of his throat, that it would have hit the spinal cord.

Now, the word “midline” was used by Dr. Malcolm Perry at Parkland Hospital, and that was the only place that JFK’s throat wound was seen by doctors. The autopsy doctors didn’t see it until after the tracheotomy obliterated the wound.

So, all we can go by is Dr. Perry saying it was in the midline.

So, how far from the spine was the presumed entrance wound in his back? Since the Parkland doctors didn’t see that wound, all we have to go by is what the autopsy doctors said.

The autopsy report doesn’t state how far from the spine the entrance wound was. In fact, it doesn’t reference the spine at all. Instead, they located the wound by citing its distance from the mastoid process of the occiput and the acromion process of the scapula. For both, they said it was 14 cm.  But, I say that was duplicitous. There is no excuse for not referencing it to the spine. That’s because it was closer to the spine than those other landmarks, and because the spinous processes in your back are like a ruler.

And that’s the reason why the other doctors DID reference it to the spine. Most of them, including JFK’s own doctor, Admiral George Burkley, said that the wound was adjacent to T3, AND HE INCLUDED THAT ON JFK’S DEATH CERTIFICATE. Other doctors also said T3, except for Dr. Robert Karnei, who said it was at the level of T4.

Humes said it was slightly above the superior border of the scapula, which is usually at T2. So, if it was slightly above that, then it was between T1 and T2, according to him.  He called it a “posterior thorax wound,” but on Google AI and Chat GPT they say the wound was adjacent to C7, and that is absurd. It’s pure fiat.

But, let’s return to Dr. David Mantik who said that the bullet would have hit the spinal cord. Even if he’s wrong, it would have had to be awfully close, and it would have blown through the nerve roots, and that, in itself, would have been catastrophic.

When we look at JFK in the Zapruder film, we see a man who is seriously impaired, both physically and mentally. He had no ability to communicate, not verbally, nor in any other way. He was incapable of taking any action. He showed no indication of being aware of what was happening to him and understanding it. And he lost control of his muscles, where after bringing his hands up, WHICH WAS NOT A REFLEX, BECAUSE THERE IS NO SUCH REFLEX, he was unable to put his arms down. We can see that he was in spasm, and the spasticity spread and worsened as he sat there.

However, he shows no sign of paralysis at all. NOT ONE OF HIS MUSCLES LOST ITS NERVE SUPPLY. Despite a big, fat bullet boring through his neck, from back to front, and exiting in the midline?  That is impossible. JFK was able to sit upright with all his postural reflexes working, and that tells you that that didn’t happen. There was no nerve/muscle interruption in his body.

And make no mistake: the effect of such a shot would have been paralyzing. Even if the bullet missed the cord, the damage to his nerve roots from the trauma, the cavitation, and the inflammation, would have been devastating.  He would not have been able to sit there, as he did. He would have gone down.  And don’t tell me his back brace held him up. And don’t tell me it was upper motor neuron because it wasn’t. The effect would have been paralysis; not hypertonicity.

So, the clinical picture that we see of JFK in the Zapruder film does not support the claim of a bullet that tunneled through his neck from back to front.   

Here he is in 253 all contracted, unable to put his arms down. He is in serious trouble, but he has no nerve/muscle disconnections. Everything is working. The communication between his nervous system and his muscles is intact. After a bullet bore all the way through his neck from back to front? No way!

And, his spasms were NOT due to trauma. All he had suffered was a shallow wound in his back that affected no vital tissue, and a puncture wound in his throat that did not affect his brain or spinal cord.  His spasticity was due to a nerve agent that was delivered in the back shot with a frozen dart.

A bullet traversing him in the manner described, if true, would have instantly paralyzed him, put him in shock; and unless he got immediate surgical intervention, and massive steroids like Christopher Reeves got, he would have died.

We need to stop kidding ourselves. If the Single Bullet had happened, the gravity of that trauma would have been catastrophic and life-threatening, and there is no way it fits his presentation in the Zapruder film. Every doctor on Earth should be able to see that. That includes you, Dr. Meagher. You are free to write-up your own appraisal of JFK’s condition, as seen in the Zapruder film, but be aware that I am going to respond to it; every word.
