What you see Clint Hill do at the 17 second mark in the Zapruder film is absolutely impossible. You can see that the limo is moving along at a fast clip. You know that because of how fast the far ground is changing and people are being passed. So, how could Clint Hill possbly catch up with a vehicle that was moving that fast?

What we are seeing there isn't even real. I'm not doubting that Hill cilmbed onto the back of the limo. But, he did when either it was stopped or very nearly stopped, and I mean less than 5 mph. Make that well less than 5 mph.

If a person were running, and he got to gentle steps, as opposed to steep steps, he could probably negotiate the steps without altering his gate or his timing. In other words, he could do it fluidly. But, if you are running behind a car, and when you get to the car, you intend to climb up the back of the car, you can't do that fluidly. There is a glitch between the running and the climbing.

1. Running onto gentle steps

If the steps are shallow enough, the runner can maintain much of his existing stride pattern. His feet continue moving in a relatively familiar rhythm. There may be minor adjustments, but there doesn't necessarily have to be a perceptible interruption in his momentum or cadence.

The transition is relatively seamless.

2. Running toward the back of a car and climbing onto it

That's an entirely different proposition.

The runner is initially moving with:

• A forward-running stride.
• A particular cadence.
• A particular body posture.
• A particular relationship between his feet and the ground.

But when he reaches the car, he has to change all of that.

He must:

• Shorten or interrupt his running stride.
• Place a foot against a vertical or inclined surface.
• Generate upward force rather than simply forward propulsion.
• Shift his center of gravity upward and forward.
• Find a stable foothold before continuing the climb.

There is a necessary transition between running and climbing.

And that transition is likely to produce a visible disruption in his movement.

The important distinction

The gentle steps are essentially an extension of the running surface. The rear of a car is an obstacle requiring a change in the mechanics of locomotion.

This is particularly important in the scenario we've been discussing involving the Secret Service follow-up car in the JFK motorcade.

A person running behind a moving automobile cannot simply carry his running gait onto the back of the car as though he were running up a flight of shallow stairs. He has to negotiate a mechanical transition. And the faster the car is moving, the more complicated that transition becomes.

Do you realize that a swift running speed for a person who is not an elite runner is maybe 6 mph; that's all (and there is no reason to think Clint Hill was an elite running; he smoked; the night before he was out drinking). So, for him to catch up with the limo, he would have to be running a lot faster than it.

Again: I don't doubt that he got up on the limo. But, he did it when it was either completely still or was barely moving; maybe 2 or 3 mph; that's all. What we see in the Zapruder film is impossible, and it isn't real. It was finagled, and we know that because of the crappy CIA art that I have put before you.

 I now have what I truly believe is the best rendering of the two ties. And it is thanks to the White House Historical Association. I just found out today that when the issued their statement about the first tie winding up in JFK's jacket pocket and Jackie wanting it back so that she could give it to their doorman Preston Bruce, they published a picture of that tie, the Ft. Worth tie. So, I am showing you right now is from the White House Historical Association.

So, the Ft. Worth tie was a greyish blue, or I suppose you could say a blueish grey. And it consisted of a fine webbing. To me, it seems like fine lace. And it also had some diagonal stripes.

The Dallas tie, which entered the scene on the Love Field tarmac at the limo when Roy Kellerman reached for it on the front seat and then took it to JFK. He said something to him, and then Kennedy quickly swapped the ties, putting the Ft. Worth tie in his inside jacket pocket. No one can challenge this because if he had changed his tie on the plane, he would have left the tie on the plane.

The Secret Service tie was dark blue, a Navy blue, and it had repeating columns of floral motifs that almost looked plaid.

What I realize now is that the people who have been responsible for holding up the official story, that is, the official lie, have been paranoid about this. They have been scared shitless that the fact that the Secret Service changed JFK's tie, where the initiative to do it was entirely theirs and no one elses, that that highly disturbing fact was going to become public knowledge.

So, as they have done ad infinitum, they altered Ft. Worth photos of him to make it look like he had the motorcade tie on the whole day. That was their first choice, to keep tie-changing off the table. But, if it got out, and once it got out, their alternate plan was toe claim that he changed his tie on the plane. And he did not. If he had, he would have left the original tie on the plane. It is insane to think that, under those circumstances, that he would have taken it with him. What for? But, he did. He had it on him.

I realize now that they have been working this as hard as Oswald in the the doorway. But, it's all for naught now. They lost because it's out there. And they ain't getting the genie back in the bottle.

 I have made a trilogy of images showing SS Agent Roy Kellerman giving the tie to JFK. You can actually see the tie in the middle one.

This is the literal statement by the White House Historical Association, which they put next to an image of the Ft. Worth tie.:

"On the left is the Necktie belonging to President John F. Kennedy, early 1960s. President John Kennedy wore this necktie while flying to Dallas, Texas, on November 22, 1963. Just before getting into the presidential limousine in which he was assassinated, Kennedy changed ties and placed this one in his jacket pocket. Jacqueline Kennedy later told White House doorman Preston Bruce, “The president would have wanted you to have this.”

So, the WHHA did not say who produced the tie, but we have video of Roy Kellerman doing it. And keep in mind that the fact that JFK put the first tie in his jacket pocket PROVES BEYOND THE SLIGHTEST DOUBT that it happened at the limo because if he changed his tie on the plane, he would have left it there. Why bring it? There is no conceivable reason. Not in your wildest and most reckless imagination could you come up with a reason why JFK would have brought the other tie along with him if he could just leave it on the plane.

 I am now going to begin a multi-post series on the feat that Clint Hill supposedly did, which was jump off a moving car, without tumbling. And then accelerating to where he was running faster than a moving car in front of him in order to catch up with it. And then when he got to it, transitioning from merely running to climbing, and doing all that without mishap. It starts with just the action of getting off the moving car and landing on stationary ground without falling.

Hill was standing on the running board. According to the Secret Service, the Queen Mary was moving forward at 11 mph, which is approximately 16.1 feet per second. So, when he steps off laterally, his landing foot has to establish stationary support while his body is moving forward at 16.1 feet per second.

He must somehow accommodate that mismatch without falling.

It isn't simply a matter of being able to run fast. It is a question of controlling the transition from a moving platform to stationary ground, with the initial movement of his body being perpendicular to the direction of travel of the car and himself.

When Hill steps off laterally, the moment his foot contacts the pavement, he must begin transferring his body weight onto that foot if it is to support him.

But consider what happens:

1. His body is moving forward at 16.1 feet per second.
2. His foot contacts stationary pavement.
3. He begins transferring his weight onto that foot.
4. The foot encounters friction that resists its forward movement.
5. His upper body continues moving forward under its existing momentum, that it inherited from the car.
6. His center of gravity continues moving forward while his supporting foot is being restrained.
7. This creates a forward-rotating tendency around the planted foot.

This is the reason why people tumble and roll when they jump off moving trains. Most of us have never seen that in life, but we have seen it many times in movies.

Now granted, there are speeds that are so slow, that the adjustment is trivial. Say, the SS car was only going 1 mph. At that speed, the forward momentum of his upper body is only 1.47 feet per second, and it would be easy to absorb that and maintain balance. But, at 11 mph? No way.

Again, this is the first in a series, and the point that I will be driving at is that the vehicles involved, the Presidential limo and the Queen Mary, must have been stopped or nearly stopped in order for Clint Hill to do what he did. Both the Secret Service, and the Zapruder film, are lying to us about the speeds that were happening.

Note that no film shows Clint Hill dismounting from the Queen Mary. I'll close with this image of Clint Hill at the time. I want you to see that he was a Secret Service agent, but there was nothing particularly athletic about him.

 People should not be defending Kellerman, not here. I want you to think about how easily he could have aided in that situation. He might have saved Kennedy's life.

For instance, all he had to do was order the driver to floor it to get them out of there. He had to know that the shooters weren't firing from a moving car. That's because they were in a motorcade, and everyone in the motorcade was vetted. So, he had to know that the shooters were stationary. That means that if they took flight, they would have very quickly been out of harm's way. The need for that was so pressing that if Kellerman had ordered Greer to step on it, and if Greer didn't respond instantly, Kellerman could have scooted over, grabbed the wheel, pressed his own foot to the gas pedal, and gotten them the Hell out of there.

Another thing Kellerman could have done was scream at the occupants, "Everyone down to the floor! Now!" Kellerman knew that Kennedy was under attack. He claimed to hear Kennedy yell, "My God, I've been hit." That never happened, but even so, Kellerman knew that an attack was underway.

And third, Kellerman could have climbed back there himself to help and protect Kennedy himself with his massive body. But no, he did nothing, and there is no excuse.

This is 2026; practically 2027. But, I tell you that in 1964, when he was questioned by the Warren Commission, they should have stung him with the same complaints that I am throwing at him now.

There is no defending Kellerman. He is inexcusable and indefensible. And remember who he was: the highest ranking SS agent on the Dallas trip and third in command in the White House detail.

And the very fact that the Warren Commission didn't treat him with suspicion tells you a lot about them.

And what about the HSCA? They did not order Kellerman to testify at all, so he didn't. But they did file an "Outside Contact Report" about Kellerman, and they gave it a number. That means that some staff person went to talk to Kellerman. There's even a date for it: December 1, 1978. But, though the record of it exists, the document itself has never been found. Supposedly, it is in the National Archives- somewhere. But, it's content has never been revealed, and that's despite all the JFK documents supposedly having been released. It's JFK Document No. 013394 — Roy H. Kellerman, Outside Contact Report. Rots o' ruck finding it.

This is Hill, Kellerman, and Greer. Look a the size of that guy. He could have protected Kennedy with his own body.

 By my estimation, the tie knot corresponds to exactly where JFK was hit in the throat. In this photo, I have my index finger on the suprasternal notch. That is the top of the sternum, and right above it is the lowest part of the anterior neck. Perry said that JFK was shot in the midling of the lower third of his anterior neck. And on me, that is exactly where the knot of my tie is. And I wasn't trying for anything. I just put the tie on normally.

So, the situation is that Kellerman asked Kennedy to change his tie right before the motorcade took off. So, that exists as an element in the story. Another element is that minutes later, JFK got shot in the throat in a spot that corresponds to the location of the tie not.

That seems like a coincidence, but I don't believe in coincidences when it comes to the JFK assassination. Something about the second tie must have facilitated the throat shot somehow.

No matter what you think, the fact is that, on me, the tie knot is going over the very spot where JFK had a hole in his throat.

 I am sick and tired of the lies people tell about JFK. One of them is that he told the Secret Service to leave the bubble top off the limo. There isn't a stitch of evidence that that is true.

The only reference to it in the Warren Commission Report was in the testimony of SS Agent Roy Kellerman, the guy who did absolutely nothing when bullets were raining down on the limo. He didn't do so much as tell the driver, "You might want to step on it." And of course, we know that the driver didn't step on it until he saw JFK take the fatal head shot.

I'll be crystal: I believe Roy Kellerman was involved in killing Kennedy. Kellerman was the one who gave JFK the second tie to wear. What reason he gave Kenndy I will never know, and it stresses my brain to even think about it. But, I'm sure that, in reality, it had some connection to the upcoming throat shot.

Kellerman testified that it was JFK's Appointment Secretary, Ken O'Donnell who insisted that the bubble top be left off the limo. Not Kennedy, but O'Donnell. BUT, O'DONNELL NEVER SAID IT, NOT TO THE WARREN COMMISSION, AND NOT OVER THE YEARS TO ANYBODY.

Remember that it was that lying sack of blank Kellerman who said that JFK yelled "My God, I've been hit!" But, Jackie defied him. She said that her husband never spoke once the shooting began. And even Mrs. Connally said that the last thing the President said was in response to her, when she said, "You can't say that the people of Dallas didn't turn out for you." And he said, "I certainly can't."

Those were the last words out of his mouth, and it is widely accepted today that they were his last words. So, nobody believes Kellerman- not even LNs. Therefore, why should anyone believe his unconfirmed statement about O'Donnell?

However, the HSCA claimed that JFK gave the order to leave off the bubble top, and they attributed it to John Connally. But, there is no statement to that effect by Connally either; not in his WC testimony nor in his HSCA testimony. And when Congressman Edgar asked Connally if he knew who decided to leave off the bubble top, Connally's response was "No, Sir."

So, don't accept the incessant lies that have been circulated about this over the decades. The fact is that JFK was super-compliant with his Secret Service. He never, ever argued with them about safety matters. He abided by every precuation they recommended.

And just consider that, from out of the blue, effin' Kellerman brought him a different tie to wear, and asked him to change ties in the limo, and JFK just did it without questioning him. Do you think he wanted to change his tie? Hell no! But, in all such matters, he just did whatever the Secret Service told him.

This is JFK at Love Field shortly before he boarded the limo. Standing deep to him is Roy Kellerman. JFK is wearing his original tie, and there was nothing wrong with it. I'll be honest with you: if it had been me, and Kellerman came up to me and said he wanted me to change ties, I would have said:

"You're not my valet, and even if you were, I have no reason to change my tie. Therefore, I'm not changing it. Now, take your seat."
