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

So, at what Zapruder film was JFK hit for the first time? I'm finding claims that are all over the place, but officially speaking, and in accordance with the official story, at what frame was he hit? Again, I'm not talking about reality; I am talking about dogma. 

The answer to that is pretty clear-cut, and it's just what I thought they were trying to claim: that JFK was hit behind the curtain of the Stemmons freeway sign.

Here's a quote from the website of John McAdams, and I presume you know who he is: the academic, professorial dean of JFK officialdom. 

"Most lone assassin theorists see John Connally's movements in the Zapruder film as showing that he was hit by a bullet at frame 223."

Do I agree with that? No, I do not, but that's not the issue because we knowthat the whole narrative is false. The question is not what happened but what they were trying to say with what they did to the Zapruder film. So, if they're claiming that Connally got hit there with the same bullet that hit Kennedy, then obviously, they're saying that Kennedy got hit there. Because: we can just disregard the time it took for the bullet to pass from Kennedy to Connally, had it done that. 

So they claim that JFK got hit at 223, and you will notice that at 223, JFK was completely out of view. And I say that was the whole purpose of developing the scenario this way. Because: how would a man react if a bullet tore through his neck from back to front, traversing him? It has never happened before or since, that I know of. And it didn't even happen then. 

But, it could happen. So, what would happen, what would be his reaction if it did happen? What would we see him do?

I suppose it's for educated guesses to say, but since I'm educated, I'll render a guess. I think the man would collapse, and I think there is a very good chance he would lose consciousness. 

But obviously, that didn't happen or anything close to it. So, they for sure did not want to show the impact. 

But, if JKF wasn't hit until 223, it means that he should not have exhibited any untoward behavior prior to 223. 

So why then, did he stop waving and put his hand over his face before passing behind the sign?

He was a politician, out in public. He was "on." He wouldn't have done that. He didn't do it. They did it. They did it to cover up his face because of the expression on his face; an expression that resulted from his having been shot. 

JFK was hit in the back rather high on the hill, just a little past the Depository, with a frozen projectile. That's what caused him to stop waving and show the quizzical look that Jackie talked about. He was showing that look here, and that's why they covered up his face.  Because: in their story, he wasn't hit yet. But in reality, he was.
