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

The preponderance of JFK researchers today admit that the Zapruder film was altered, however the biggest alteration of all went unnoticed until recently. And that is that a large section of film that was cut out: from the time JFK was hit in the back until he passed behind the freeway sign.

The Zapruder film has it that JFK was smiling and waving, and then he passed behind the freeway sign and emerged reacting to being shot. But, that's not what happened. What happened is that he was shot in the back at the time of the Croft photo, when the limo had just passed the obelisk, which caused him to stop smiling and waving. So, from having been shot in the back, he was sitting there stiff and rigid, like a zombie, until he got to the freeway sign. That's when he was shot in the throat, and you know the rest from watching the Zapruder film from Z225 on. But, the whole part of him being shot in the back and his reaction to it was cut out. 

Now, how do I know this? There are two things that prove it. The first is that the freeway sign shows up too early in the Zapruder film. How early? From the very beginning. You can see the freeway sign at the top of Dealey Plaza. 

That is the top of Dealey Plaza. It doesn't get any more top than that. And there in the lower right corner is the freeway sign. That is impossible! Look how far down that sign was:

That sign, that small little sign, is circled, and there is no way it would intrude on Zapruder's camera field when he was pointing the camera at the top of Dealey Plaza. The sign we see in the Zapruder film is fake; it isn't even angled properly. And it was done to cut out the part of the film that covered this area:

So, that whole section of the film represented by the red swath was cut out. They cut out from when Kennedy was struck in the back with a paralyzing bullet to when he passed behind the sign. They did not want us to see him being shot in the back and then his reaction to it.

It is also proven by comparing the still photos to the Zapruder film. The still photos, Croft, Betzner, and Willis, show that Kennedy stopped waving long before he got to the sign. Croft shows him in profile, and you can see that he stopped smiling and waving, and he looks very stiff. 

He was shot in the back there. There is a screen that was put over his back which some have mistakenly called "his jacket bunching up." Now, why would it do that? It wouldn't. It's a screen. He was shot in the back. 

And Jackie's whole head is fake. It's her head, but it's another image, taken from elsewhere, and pasted in. That degree of left rotation of her head is way beyond comfort, and I am telling you that as a chiropractor. It was put in there to obscure him and to distract from him. JFK is in trouble right there. He was shot in the back. 

 Going down the road, next came Betzner, and notice the difference in the spectators. The ones higher on the right are waving enthusiastically. The ones lower by the Stemmons side are not. Why? Because Kennedy stopped waving. We can't see his face, and it must have looked quite strange and not at all smiling. 

Then then came Willis, and again, JFK was not waving.

If he had his hand up and waving, we would surely see it. And who knows what they did to this very dark image which may have involved paint. And what about Jackie?

So, we're seeing her thru the motorcycle windshield, but her hat is wrong and her garment is wrong too. There is no justifying that image. Look at her real hat. 

So, they messed with that like crazy, but I have given you enough evidence here to show that JFK definitely stopped waving, that something happened. He's not doing this:

But, in the Zapruder film, it goes from that to the sign and then all his reacting occurs after he emerges from behind the sign. It's bogus. JFK got shot in the back before the sign, and he reacted to it before the sign. It was NOT "alls-well" until he passed behind the sign. That's the biggest lie that the Zapruder film tells.
