Oswald in the doorway: the blog of the Oswald Innocence Campaign, by Ralph Cinque

If you haven't seen this video by Gil Jesus, you should. It is the best presentation about the throat shot that JFK received.

That shot occurred just before JFK emerged from behind the sign in the Zapruder film. It's location on Elm was thus, and it turns out that the white truck in this picture is just about in the right position to represent the limo.

Where did the back shot occur? Earlier and higher on the hill. The most reliable marker I can give you is the Croft photo. The bullet struck Kennedy in the back a second or less before this photo was taken. 

Observe that JFK looks very stiff, that there is a screen placed over his back at the site that he was shot, and Jackie's whole head is completely bogus. It's likely she was turned the other way, and the face we see was pasted in. The limo was a little past the obelisk at that point. Notice that JFK had stopped waving or even looking at his admirers. 

So, from that point on, JFK was reacting to the back shot, but we have no images of it. That portion was cut out of the Zapruder film. With the Betzner photo, he was definitely shot, but if there were any tell-tale signs, they removed them. 

That figure blocking our view is surely bogus, and I can prove it because we know where Betzner was. 

Hugh was short, like me, but I don't think that guy in front of him was blocking his view, and if he was, surely Hugh would have stepped to his right a few inches, which he easily could have done. So, it's just something they put in there to keep us from seeing. 

So, we can see JFK, but we can't see Jackie. Perhaps Jackie was reacting in a way that showed alarm. And this, by the way, corresponds to the section that was removed from the Zapruder film. Let's look at it closer. 

Once again, there is a rectangular screen placed over the top of his back as in Croft. 

He may be turned slightly to his right but not much. And, as in Croft, he is not waving. Let's compare the spectators. 

Notice that there is good cheer. Everyone is in a good mood. He was just shot, but only a fraction of a second before, and it's too soon for them to tell. The woman in the very center has an extremely distorted face, which makes no sense photographically, because how could her face be distorted if the others weren't? So, it's possible that she started showing alarm in her face, and so they had to replace it. 

But, in Betzner, the mood isn't quite as festive. It transitions from festive to somber.

So, on the right, which is higher on the hill, they're waving enthusiastically, but on the left, which is lower, they're not waving at all. They are close to him, and they can see his face, and they can see that something is wrong.  Again, he is not waving, and I bet the look on his face was very strange. 

Now, look at Willis.

Again, nobody is waving. It all looks serious. JFK's head seems to be turned to the right some, but I don't trust the image. I don't trust it at all. Notice how crude it looks. It looks like it could be paint. Compare the back of his head to Connally's. 

So, a big difference in lighting and coloring, a with weird patch of darkness right over JFK's collar. 

All that darkness is inexplicable, and his hair is too long. Paint, paint, paint, paint, paint.  

Jackie's head is also turned to the right. 

Wait a second. What is going on there? What is all that stuff? She wore a simple pillbox hat, as they called it.

We're seeing her through Hargis' windshield, but even so: both she and JFK are heavily doctored in the Willis photo.

 And you can see where the sign is, and you can see where Zapruder is. So, we are looking behind the sign in the Zapruder film, except that they did their best to obscure it here as well. And, he is just about to be hit with the throat shot.

He was hit in the throat a few frames before, and he is starting to react, as per Gil Jesus' description. 

So, there was definitely a separation of more than a few seconds between the back shot and the throat shot, and they carefully covered up all the visual evidence of the back shot so that we never see it at all. They did that because they needed him to be shot with both shots all at once. Again, I'll state that I think it's very likely that the FBI came up with the Single Bullet Theory, not Arlen Specter.
