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

There is nothing speculative or farfetched about the claim that JFK was shot with the "heart attack gun" containing shellfish toxin because we have a picture of the gun, and we have the words of then CIA Director William Colby saying that it worked, that it was developed to kill people, and that it was accurate from a great distance. This is it. Either this very gun, or one just like it, is the gun that was used to shoot Kennedy in the back high on the hill. And the manifestations that we see on Kennedy in the Zapruder film, his uncontrollable muscle spasms and his mental vacancy, were due to the effects of the drug.  

The year was 1975, which was the same year the Zapruder film first aired on television.  So, at the same time the public saw this unique assassination gun developed by the CIA, they saw JFK looking and acting intoxicated in the Zapruder film- an effect that cannot be accounted for by any physical trauma he had received to that point.  

So, the simple question is: WHY DOES JFK ACT SO WEIRD AND INCAPACITATED IN THE ZAPRUDER FILM? And since physical trauma doesn't account for it, what else can account for it? The answer is: a toxin. And the truth is: there is no other answer that works.  

It would be grossly unfair to Kennedy to suggest that he just lost it mentally because of the horror and terror of the situation. He had been in combat, where he acted decisively, heroically, and bravely. And in this case, his own wife, the mother of his children, was in the car with him. and surely, he would have been cognizant of the danger that she was in and sought to protect her. But, it's obvious in the Zapruder film that JFK was not cognizant of anything. He was completely out of it mentally. It's one of the most telling things about the Zapruder film. So how could he get that way so fast? How could he reach that condition in a matter of seconds? 

And you mustn't accept the timing of the Zapruder film. They cut out a huge swath of it, the part where JFK rode down the hill having been shot in the back, and I can prove it mathematically. You know that they cut out the part when the limo made the horseshow turn from Houston to Elm. So the first we see of the limo is at Z-133. The limo passes behind the  Stemmons freeway sign at about Z-197. That's 64 frames. At 18 frames per second, that comes out to 3.55 seconds. So, that's 3 and 1/2 seconds to get from the top of Elm Street to the Stemmons freeway sign.  But, you realize that the limo was going extremely slowly. It couldn't have reached the freeway sign that fast even if it was traveling at normal speed. But, it was not traveling at normal speed; it was crawling. Even Jackie complained about how slow it was going. 

The fact that JFK's limo reaches the freeway sign in less than 4 seconds in the Zapruder film tells you that they cut out most of his descent on the hill. And the stretch I am talking about has the greatest slope in Dealey Plaza. That's the part they cut out to hide the fact that JFK was already shot in the back high on the hill.  

Again, this is not in doubt, and it can't be disputed, because that 3 and 1/2 second timeline in the Zapruder film is impossible. There was more distance to cover. You couldn't get to the freeway sign that fast, even if you were going, say, 45 mph. And it wasn't even going a third of that speed.  

So, why did they wait until 1975 to release the Zapruder film, to let the public see it? Time/Life had been in possession of it for 12 years, and they sold it back to the Zapruder family for $1, and the Zapruders instantly turned it into a cottage industry, renting it out for outrageous fees, like $40,000 for a one-time viewing.  And remember, that was in 1970s money. And they didn't even have to do the legwork; the National Archives did all the work for them- for free. 

But, the explanation for all this is simple: it was time. It was time to show the world the Zapruder film. They had finally gotten it altered satisfactorily to where they were content that its story was consistent with the official story, that JFK rode down the hill smiling and waving, until he reached the Stemmons freeway sign, where everything happened to him all at once behind that sign, save for the fatal head shot.

That is NOT what happened. He was shot in the back high on the hill, and he rode down the hill that way. Then he was struck again in the throat behind the freeway sign. And then, he was struck a third time with the fatal head shot seconds later.  

Don't assume that the alterations to the Zapruder film were done in days or weeks or even months. Try years. No doubt it was the most extensive and daring film altering that had ever been. It was Frankenstinian, the magnitude of the altering that they did. The fact that anyone continues to deny that the Zapruder film was altered is laughable. 

And it was all predicated by the fact that JFK was shot in the back very early and high on the hill. It was a preparatory shot. It wasn't meant to kill him. It was meant to butter him up, so that when he entered the Kill Zone, he wouldn't be a problem, that he would be a sitting duck.

It wasn't a bullet. Why would anyone want to shoot him with a bullet that stopped short in his back? Some have tried to rationalize it by saying that they were just trying to get one of "Oswald's" bullets into him. That is ridiculous! There was no bullet! 

I'm telling you: it was an ice flechette that delivered a drug. That is now certain. And anyone who fights it is either very stupid OR they are a Kennedy-killer: a modern, 21st century accomplice to the men who killed Kennedy.
