In regards to my previous comment in post #4893 regarding what Vince Bugliosi had said about frames 312 and 313 in the Zapruder film of the JFK assassination, here's the lowdown:
Vice pointed out that Zapruder frame 313, which is the point at which it appears that Kennedy has received the "kill shot" to his head, shows that his head has initially moved forward from its position in frame 312, and he implies that this clearly shows that the kill shot was fired from behind. In frame 312, Kennedy has already been shot through the throat, and is leaning close to Jackie, who appears to be loosening JFK's tie and shirt in order to assess the throat wound. Below, I have arranged frames 312 and 313 in such a way that they can be directly compared, and have drawn several alignment lines through both frames:
Note that I have labeled the lines A through G. Since the frame counter always remains in a stable position throughout the film, I used this as a reference point to align the two frames using line E. Now look at frame 312 and you will see that line B is directly against the back of Kennedy's head, but in frame 313 his head has moved slightly forward while at the same time it appears that he has suffered a massive blowout wound at the front of his face. The most far reaching blowout area would seem to be the upper right area of his forehead, although his entire face appears to be erupting, from his forehead to his chin. Strange, isn't it? Strange too that Jackie's face and hair was not doused in blood from this violent outburst. Or was this, in fact, a false depiction? In other words, is this an altered film? Let's see what we can see.
First, notice that frame 312 is in relatively good focus, but frame 313 is not nearly as clear. If Kennedy is in fact moving suddenly forward then we
might conclude that he probably would be blurred somewhat, but what about Jackie? Note that her right elbow remains aligned with line A, and that her hat and left shoulder appear to remain aligned with lines D and C, respectively. So why is Jackie now a complete blur? And why is the top of the seat back blurred? For that matter, considerably more important is the fact that the shape of the back and upper rear portions of Kennedy's head are not maintained in this slight forward move. Has he in fact moved forward at all, or is this simply what viewers are led to believe? If one analyzes the film frame-by-frame it becomes quite apparent that at each point in the film where something of significance seems to have happened, the corresponding frame is either blurred or defaced by multiple defects.
The original Zapruder film was shot in color at about 18 frames per second, and thus only 5.5/100ths of a second has elapsed from frame 312 to frame 313. That's hardly enough time for lighting conditions to have changed, and the blur in 313 can not reasonably be assumed to have been an instantaneous hand movement reaction by Mr Zapruder to the kill shot. So the question then becomes, what is really going on?
First of all, the Zapruder film has been reproduced in many different forms over the years, in an effort to supposedly enhance the viewing experience. The frames above were taken from the latest "high definition" YouTube video. We can also find what is said to be the unenhanced, unaltered, and "undamaged" version of the film, but it is a sure bet that even that version cannot be trusted as being an accurate depiction of the assassination. Researchers have proven that the so-called Zapruder film is not the original one that Zapruder filmed with his camera, but instead is a manufactured fiction. A Zapruder film symposium was held at the University of Minnesota in May of 2003, and several film experts pointed out in great detail why the Zapruder film that we have been shown is a hoax. A series of 10 minute videos made at the symposium has been posted at YouTube by John Costas to inform people as to the specifics of the hoax. As Costas himself points out, a series of frames is missing near the beginning, and Zapruder stated that he never stopped filming once he had started. Also, Costas points out that as the limo proceeds down the street, before the neck shot is fired, the people standing on the left sidewalk are motionless! And the background images beyond the limo's left side have been altered to change the reality of the situation.
Two persons who say that they actually viewed the Zapruder film, uncut and as originally filmed (but at different times), both say that the limo actually came to a full stop for about two seconds, and that it was at this time that two shots hit Kennedy in the head. One of these men is Rich DellaRosa and the other is French journalist William Reymond. Reymond is also interviewed by Jim Marrs in this video. According to DellaRosa, he saw the unaltered film at a university before the first public airing on TV, which was during the Geraldo Rivera Show in 1975. When DellaRosa saw the Rivera show film, he immediately recognized that what was being shown on TV was entirely different from what he had seen earlier. It is unknown where the copy shown at the university came from, or what later became of it. Zapruder had asked the film processor to make 3 copies of the original, and to sign an affidavit stating that no further copies were to be made at that time, but that of course does not rule out the possibility that the duplication employee did make an extra copy or two. The temptation to do so would have been practically irresistible. The copy which Reymond saw is said to have been shown to him by a French intelligence officer, and was copied from a film said to have been purchased directly from Zapruder, on the day of the assassination, by Texas billionaire oilman Howard L Hunt. Zapruder said that he gave two of the first generation copies to Forrest Sorrels of the Secret Service on November 22nd, and one of these was sent to the FBI in Washington the next day while the other found its way to the CIA's National Photographic Interpretation Center (NPIC) the evening of the assassination day. The NPIC was a state of the art photograpic facility which had processing machines that other facilities only dreamed of in 1963, and could easily have produced the altered version of the Zapruder film within a few hours. It is said that Zapruder retained the original film plus one first gen copy, though Zapruder may well have had additional first generation copies made of the original afterwards and sold some of these. One copy was handed to Life Magazine's Dick Stolley on November 23, and that was given back to the Zapruder family in the 1970's. That one is said to have been extensively damaged when the Life technicians destroyed several frames. Life had paid Zapruder $150,000 for rights to use the images, and had published black and white frame images in one of their magazine issues. There is no way that Zapruder would have parted with the original film, and obviously he would also have retained a backup first gen copy, and the ARRB report indicated that the Zapruder family did possess an extra copy.
In summary, we can safely say that the Zapruder film shown to the public in 1975 on the Rivera show was a manufactured hoax, and that all other films and videos made from that altered version cannot be trusted either. While the reworked Zapruder film is no doubt the most well know one taken on the day of the assassination, there were in fact several others taken that day, as well as many relevant still photos. Since all of these were considered "official assassination records," they were of course handled and examined by the FBI and CIA at some point soon after being filmed. It is notable that the ones of most importance have missing or damaged frames at the major intervals of interest. That's too strange to be mere coincidence.

I had a feeling that lead might be as good as gold 
I have been stocking up for some time. Bullet & sinker casts have gone sky high, they don't want you to make your own.
