JFK assassination film hoax — a simple introduction

For a quick introduction to why the “Zapruder film” of the JFK assassination is a hoax, click here.

Impeccable eyewitness proof of film alteration

For those people who prefer warm-blooded eyewitness testimony over the cold facts of hard science, the almost-incidental testimony of impeccable law enforcement officials in the lead car of the Presidential motorcade provides irrefutable evidence that the Zapruder film and Nix film of the assassination are fake.

An overview of the proof was published in February 2008, and the proof was discussed at length on radio:  Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5.  The eyewitness compilation referred to is published here (see pages 85 and 86).

Stabilized copies of the Zapruder film

I have now uploaded seven videos to YouTube:

Zapruder HD Stable Pan
Zapruder HD Fixed Camera Z001-Z257
Zapruder HD Fixed Camera Z198-Z301
Zapruder HD Fixed Camera Z274-Z357
Zapruder HD Fixed Camera Z325-Z389
Zapruder HD Fixed Camera Z372-Z425
Zapruder HD Fixed Camera Z408-Z486

In the first video, the view ‘pans’ so that the presidential limousine is stabilized in the center of the image. In the remaining six videos, the background has been stabilized; in other words, they are the equivalent of having six different cameras mounted on the Zapruder pedestal, each pointing in a fixed direction, i.e., they don’t ‘pan’ to follow the presidential limousine.

If you want research-quality (1080) copies of these videos, they are still available in the original QuickTime format (with the filenames I originally gave them), which are the master videos uploaded to YouTube:

Research-quality copies of all 486 individual frames of the Zapruder film can also be viewed or downloaded from assassinationresearch.com/zfilm.

Panoramic view of Dealey Plaza

In 2002 I used advanced mathematical and computer imaging techniques to stitch together a sequence of photographs of Dealey Plaza taken by legendary JFK researcher Jack White from the Zapruder pedestal, using the topographic survey commissioned by the House Select Committee on Assassinations in the late 1970s. I then overlaid three extant photographs taken by the Dallas Police Department in the days following the assassination, and finally overlaid the frames of the Zapruder film itself:

Composite panorama

How can I find out more?

A summary of my most important contributions to research on the Zapruder home movie of the JFK assassination has been published in The Great Zapruder Film Hoax (edited by Prof. James H. Fetzer), and my presentation to the Zapruder Film Symposium in Duluth, Minnesota in May 2003 has now been released on DVD.

To order The Great Zapruder Film Hoax, go to amazon.com. To order any of the DVDs of the Zapruder Film Symposium, go to assassinationscience.com. All proceeds are ploughed back into supporting assassination research; I don’t get a cent.
