	Speaker 2 Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to American And this is Shell Games and I am your host, Scott Bennett.
	We are broadcasting from a secret remote location today for a variety of reasons.
	And I just wanted to say, first of all, blessed is the Lord, my God, who teaches my hands to war and my fingers to fight.
	Dr. James Fetzer and I are rejoining to continue our series in the JFK assassination and a variety of other related topics to that assassination.
	And we are calling people out to indeed fight like soldiers and work as a team for truth-telling is psychological warfare.
	So this is the truth.
	We're training people up and the JFK assassination as we established in part one.
	was an extraordinarily complicated act of betrayal and treason and murder of John Fitzgerald Kennedy, our president.
	So Jim Fetzer is going to continue with part two of this.
	And Jim, it is an honor to have you on again.
	And I know you have a tremendous amount of material.
	I'm going to hand it right to you, Dr. James Fetzer.
	Well, Scott, you got it exactly right.
	This was the greatest murder mystery in history.
	Great efforts were taken to cover it up.
	But if you follow the evidence carefully, you realize the enormous hoax perpetrated on the American people.
	By way of the Warren report, which wasn't even consistent with the acting press secretary's announcement of the death as a simple matter of a bullet right through the head.
	They don't even get that right, not to mention the reporting that was taking place during the day where NBC's See It Now was a perfect example, as we have illustrated.
	The shots reported that very day included A small puncture wound to the throat, where we begin today, in that bullet hole through the head that blew his brains out the back of his head, which was attributed to Admiral George Berkeley, the President's personal physician.
	So, we have about the throat wound.
	It passed through the windshield en route to its target, At Parkland, they moved the limo when others were observing.
	A police officer even stuck a pencil through the hole.
	That was too much attention, so the Secret Service moved the vehicle.
	And then at Bethesda, believe it or not, and I guess knowing that in fact Commander Humes had taken a craniosaw to the skull of JFK to enlarge that wound.
	It's not surprising that they enlarged this one, too, to make it look more like a wound of that set.
	If you turn to the next slide, you'll see Malcolm Perry on the right.
	He was a physician who performed a simple Tracheostomy incision through this wound.
	He knew it up close and personal.
	Standing beside him was Dr. Kemp Clark, who was in charge of neurology there at Parkland.
	In the very next slide, you see diagrams I asked Chuck Crenshaw to draw before and after the incision was made, as you can see.
	Small, clean puncture wound.
	Obviously a wound of entry.
	Then a straight incision, hardly damaging or altering the wound at all.
	But look in the next slide what we have in autopsy reports from from Bethesda.
	This wound was greatly enlarged.
	And notice too, as I observed before, his eyes are open.
	When Chuck Crenshaw reported the last thing he did was to close the President's eyes as they were putting his body into the bronze ceremonial casket.
	Now there's a story here about the enlargening of this wound.
	I mentioned Dr. Bob Livingston, World Authority on the Human Brain, and how he had Drawn the inference that the bullet, the wound to the throat had to hit bone and fracture, part going downward into the lung, other upward to cut this tough membrane covering the cerebellum.
	Otherwise, in his judgment, it would have been physiologically impossible for cerebellar as well as cerebral tissue to exclude from the wound.
	Well, His office as the director of two of the scientific institutes of the National Institutes of Health for Neurological Diseases and Blindness prompted him to consider calling over to Bethesda, which he did, and was put in contact with Commander Humes, who said that he'd been avoiding any news reports in preparation for the autopsy.
	Well, Bob explained that this small clean puncture wound to the throat had to be an entrance wound and therefore the neck had to be dissected very carefully.
	And it's so ironic what he then added, namely, because if there were any evidence of shots from the rear, then there had to be at least two shooters and therefore a conspiracy.
	Humes thanked him for that.
	And actually, their conversation was cut off by the Secret Service, which profoundly disturbed Bob Livingston.
	Later in the evening, Commander Humes called back to Bob Livingston and asked, what would the wound have looked like had it been a wound of exit?
	And Bob gave him a description how it would be more open with excruciating whatever.
	And it appears to me that what happened here is Humes used what Bob Livingston had told him to alter the small clean puncture wound.
	Just to accent Malcolm Perry, who knew this wound up close and personal, he reported three different times during the Parkland Press Conference that was held a half an hour after his death had been announced at 1 p.m.
	Central Time by Malcolm Kilduff.
	That this had been a wound of entry, that the bullet was coming at him, that was fired from in front.
	So, of course, surprise, surprise, a transcript of the Parkland Press Conference in which Malcolm Perry described the wound as a wound of entry three different times was never provided to the Warren Commission.
	Now, if you look at the next photograph, you see by far the most famous photograph taken in relation to the assassination Where we have the motorcycle escort officers.
	You see the limousine in the foreground, the Secret Service Cadillac.
	Behind them we have Lyndon Johnson in an open limousine, followed by his security.
	I shall return to this photograph.
	But for the moment, we want to look at the windshield.
	In the next photograph, you'll see where, if you were looking where JFK's left ear would be, if his left ear were visible, you can see a small white spiral nebula indicative of a through-and-through hole in the windshield with a dark hole at the center.
	Now on the right, you will see what the Warren Commission published as an exhibit, a different windshield the Secret Service produced that had some spider-like cracks caused by being hit by a fragment of a bullet from behind.
	Now, Bob Livingston also had learned that the Secret Service had obtained 20 copies of the windshield, allegedly for target practice, but we can see now it was to cover up should anything go wrong, should they need a replacement.
	You see it here.
	Indeed, in the very next slide, you see it's actually visible The hit to the windshield is actually visible in frame 225.
	You can see it there.
	In the following slide, we return to the report about the wounds.
	Notice there's nothing here about the throat wound.
	And I believe that's because they had massacred the throat wound and that Thomas Evanson Robinson was unable to determine what had happened with the throat.
	Now, if you go to the following slide, you'll find When it turned out that one of the shots had missed and injured a distant bystander by the name of James Tagg, they had to become very creative.
	They had a shot to the back, five and a half inches below the collar, just to the right of the spinal column.
	They had a wound in the back of John Connolly that shattered a rib, exited below his right nipple, entered his right wrist.
	I mean, it was... And then the third shot at the base of the head killing JFK.
	Well, since they were committed to three and only three shots, they were in a desperate plight.
	When it turned out one of the shots had missed, which led to the introduction of the magic bullet theory, which was accomplished by Gerald Ford moving the description of the wound to the back, which was already being exaggerated as his uppermost back, to the base of the back of the neck.
	So now they were in the position of claiming the bullet had entered the back of the neck and exited the throat, which is why now the throat had the features of an exit wound and going to the back of John Connolly.
	They were desperate.
	It was a fantastic hypothesis, and indeed it was an anatomical absurdity, because David Mandik, as you can see here, took a CAT scan ...of a patient with similar chest and neck dimensions to JFK and plotted the official trajectory.
	It's not even anatomically possible because cervical vertebrae intervened.
	Now, you may recall I mentioned before how David had told me going in he not only thought he'd discovered the autopsy x-rays had been altered, but evidence of a second shot to the head.
	In the next slide, we see that very evidence, namely a distribution of metallic particles where the heavier particles traveled further.
	Once again, we're benefiting from the fact that David Mantek had a background not only in medicine, Not only in radiation oncology, which made him an expert in the interpretation of x-rays, but in physics, whereby he knew of the technique known as optical densitometry, which enabled him to define area P,
	But also to follow this pattern of metallic particles from a frangible or exploding bullet.
	So that in the next slide we see how we have been able to prove JFK was hit four different times.
	He was hit in the back by that shot five and a half inches below the collar, which was also confirmed by Evan Thomas Robinson, the mortician.
	He was hit in the back of the head.
	The shot where the physicians initially located the back of the head shot.
	But then he was hit from the front.
	Actually, it turns out, fired from inside the triple underpass.
	The bullet passed through the windshield and hit him in the throat.
	And then a bullet fired from the intersection of the triple underpass and the picket fence that hit him in the right temple.
	David has continued his research, and I will add a new development as we proceed.
	Meanwhile, the next slide shows We had some 60 witnesses to the limousine stop.
	Some saw it show dramatically.
	Others saw it come to a complete stop, which makes sense, of course, because the limousine slowed dramatically as it came to a complete stop.
	So, depending on your perspective, what you could see or not, you might see part, but not all, of coming to a complete stop.
	This was such an obvious indication of Secret Service complicity that it had to be removed.
	Now, if you go to the next report, you'll see John Costella put together eyewitness reports about the assassination, including dozens and dozens of reports about the limo stop.
	Some reported seeing it slow dramatically, others that it came to a complete stop, making sense, and from different positions, different witnesses would have seen it slow dramatically as it came to a complete stop.
	Among them is Tony Foster, who was interviewed by Deborah Conway in 2000.
	As Daniel Gallup has observed, Foster seems to have no idea that her recollections contradict the official record.
	Tony told Deborah, for some reason the car stopped.
	It did stop for seconds.
	I don't even know why it stopped and all of a sudden it sped up and they went under the underpass.
	I could never figure out why the car stopped.
	The way she delivers these lines, Gallop observed, I doubt Tony had ever seen the X-Cint Z film and had no idea her recollections contradicted that film.
	He, say, was reminded of David Lifton's early 1971 interviews with the Newmans, who also said the limo had stopped.
	They had no way of knowing at the time that the Zee films showed no such stop.
	All of this is to say the earliest recollections of individuals are likely to be the most significant, especially if there's evidence of a lack of exposure to contrary viewpoints that might influence their memory.
	Here are a couple other reports in the next slide.
	Billy Lovelady was on the steps of the Book Depository I recall that following the shooting, I ran toward the spot where Presidents Kennedy had stopped.
	Roy Truly, who is both Lee and Billy's supervisor, the car.
	I saw the President's car swerve to the left and somewhere down in this area.
	Later, Mr. Bellin questioning him.
	When you saw the president's car seem to stop, how long did it appear to stop, Mr. Truly?
	It would be hard to say, over a second or two, something like that.
	I didn't see, I just saw it stop.
	I don't know, I just, I didn't see it start back up.
	Mrs. Earl Campbell, a rather formidable woman, four cars behind the presidential limousine, I was aware that the motorcade stopped dead still.
	There was no question about that.
	Later, as I told you, the motorcade was stopped.
	Mr. Hubert questions her later.
	That was when your car, at least, had come to a standstill, Mrs. Cabell.
	Every car in the motorcade had come to a standstill.
	We were dead still for a matter of some seconds.
	Now, if you look at the next slide, you'll find that other witnesses were reporting the same thing, including Gene Hill and Mary Mormon.
	They saw it come to a complete stop.
	They were in the grass at the time.
	They are still shown on the grass.
	Take a look here.
	Now, in the next slide you'll see where Mary and Gene are shown in the grass.
	It's actually fascinating.
	Noel asked Roderick Ryan why there was blur in frame 302 on the left but not in frame 303.
	Look at the blur in the background, even the blur of Mary and Gene Hill.
	Ryan explained that the camera was panning the limo in 302, but not in 303, where it was stationary.
	On page 159, this is of Noel Twyman's brilliant book, Bloody Trees, and He added he'd shown it to his son also in the film industry, and he agreed.
	It was moving in 302, but standing still in 303.
	Now if you look at the next slide, you see we have Gene and Mary closer to the vehicle.
	They actually stepped off of the curb in order for Mary to take a very famous photograph we'll see momentarily.
	In fact, you can see more clearly in the very next slide that Mary and Gene are basically in the street.
	This is some of the research done by Jack White, who is a completely brilliant student of JFK, with whom I did a considerable amount of collaboration.
	If you go to the very next slide, then, you will see Mary's very famous photograph.
	This is taken moments after JFK's skull was blown apart.
	In fact, on his right shoulder, there's a chunk of the hair from this photograph.
	Jack was instrumental in identifying a figure known as Badge Man, who is in the vicinity there, right roughly in the top middle third of the photograph, whose identity has been disputed, but where Jack did brilliant work on this.
	Meanwhile, as the next slide shows, we had other witnesses to another and more complete film.
	Take a look at the next slide, for example.
	Raymond, Rich De La Rosa, and Gregory Burnham, some of whom have seen what they call the
	Other film, which is a more complete version, and appears to be the Zapruder prior to its
	editing than we find in the Extant film.
	Take a look at the next slide, for example.
	We have Erwin Schwartz, an associate of Abraham Zapruder.
	Erwin Swartz viewed the film in what may have been its original state at Eastman Kodak, where it was developed.
	Nearly 60 witnesses have reported the limo slowed dramatically or came to a complete halt, as Vince Palomar explained in his chapter in Murder in Dealey Plaza 2000.
	When Noel asked him about the limo stop, he was vague and couldn't recall, but when Noel asked him about the effects of the fatal headshot, Schwartz was quite specific and very graphic.
	He said he had seen Kennedy's head suddenly whip around to the left, and they'd seen an explosion of blood and brains from the head, and it was blown out to the left and rear.
	Twyman pressed him on this crucial point, but Swartz was emphatic.
	His account can be found in bloody treason.
	To the left rear!
	But of course it would have been impossible had, as some have speculated, William Greer, the driver, shot him from his position in the driver's seat.
	Jack's brains would have been blown out to the right rear.
	So that they were blown out to the left rear falsifies that hypothesis.
	All of those who now have seen the other film make four important observations as we see in the next slide.
	The other film includes the turn from Houston on to Elm.
	It shows Greer bringing the limousine to an abrupt halt.
	During the limousine stop, JFK is hit twice in the head.
	Once from behind, and he slumps forward.
	Once from in front, and he slumps to the side.
	Greer watches the whole time, and then and only then hits the accelerator.
	Now, as the next slide shows, members of the Secret Service observe blood and brains on the trunk.
	Further confirmation of the blowout to the left rear comes from Secret Service agents such as Sam Kinney and Vincent Gullo, Jr.
	Vince Palomara, the leading assassination expert on the Secret Service, wrote to Gullo to explain that Kinney had told him of his discovery of a piece of the right rear of the President's skull in the limousine during the flight back to Washington, D.C.
	And that another member of the detail had become nauseated from observing the blood and gore on the limousine trunk.
	Gullo confirmed Kinney's statements to Palomaro, saying he was totally familiar with the facts that Palomaro had outlined.
	If you look at the next slide, we get even more powerful confirmation of the limo stop from the motorcycle escort officers.
	Namely, that during the limo stop, he was hit at least twice in the head.
	Recall, prior to the limo stop, he had not been hit in the head at all, but only in the back, and then in the throat.
	That Officer Baker, riding to the left rear, actually dismounted his bike, ran between the cars to the grassy knoll.
	Notice, if the vehicles had been in motion, even if it were 8 or 10 miles an hour, he could not have run between the cars to the grassy knoll.
	Officer Douglas Jackson on the right side actually rode his motorbike up the grassy knoll until it fell over and he proceeded on foot.
	Meanwhile, five Secret Service agents dismounted from the Queen Mary, as they called the Cadillac that was a Secret Service vehicle, and surrounded the President's limousine.
	So if you look at the next, we actually can see even in the next the officer slowing down, but of course they were very ingenious in making it appear as though it had remained continuous.
	No problemo.
	In the next... to make it look as though it continued in motion.
	But look at the following slide.
	All the descriptions we get of what actually happened.
	You had Jackson motoring his bike up the grassy knoll until it falls over.
	You got Officer Hargis parking his bike, running between the limos toward the Grassy Knoll.
	Then you have five agents surrounding the JFK limo, one of whom took a piece of skull from a little boy and threw it in the back seat.
	Now, I originally presumed The limo stop only lasted for a few, perhaps six or eight seconds.
	However, I am unable to reconcile all of these activities with less than 20 seconds.
	So I'm now disposed to conclude the limo stop took approximately 20 seconds And since the camera is running at 18.3, roughly speaking, we're talking about 400 missing frames from the limo stop.
	The turn from Houston on to Elmwood represents a few seconds more, about 100 more frames, so we're missing 500 frames, which means we're missing more frames now than remain in the extant version of the film.
	If you take a look at the next slide, we actually have frames from the Bell film where you can see the tire marks from Officer Jackson's motorbike running up the hill.
	And in the following slide, we have Officer Baker returning to his motorbike.
	I mean, I emphasize again, Bobby Hargis could not have run between the two limousines Had they been in motion, even 8 or 10 miles an hour?
	Not only that, but Officer Hargis had reported that he was hit by such a mass of debris that he initially thought he himself had been shot when JFK's brains were blown out the back of his head.
	Now, if you look at the following slide, you'll see it even made some news reports.
	Oklahoma City Times.
	Three shots.
	It was horrible.
	The first tip-off of tragedy was when several spectators jumped over a stone wall and started running toward what apparently was a scene of the shooting.
	A motorcycle patrolman rode pell-mill up a railroad embankment, apparently in pursuit of the assassin.
	That's pretty remarkable, because they were doing everything they could to suppress any information about what had, in fact, happened.
	The next slide shows where Abraham Zapruder was allegedly up on this low colonnade with his secretary, Marilyn Seitzman.
	But as the following slide shows, Jack has observed Marilyn Seitzman appeared to block his visual field, which would have made it impossible for Abraham Zapruder to have filmed what bears his name.
	Now, this brilliant work was done by Larry Rivera.
	If you go to the next slide, you'll see where you can find his original work, where he transcribed early interviews that had been done with a four-motorcycle patrolman and their supervisor, Stavis Ellis, back in 1971.
	This was an incredibly tedious process to unravel and transcribe the interviews, but he did a brilliant job of it, and you can find his original work here on YouTube at those two locations.
	Now, if you go to the next slide, we can talk about how the switch was done.
	The 8mm, just a word about the Zapruder camera, it used a 16mm strip of film, where you would film down one side, and then take it out, that was called the A-side, take it out, flip it over and film the B-side, so that in order to play continuously everything you had, you'd have to split the film, divide it into the A and B parts, and then splice them together.
	The switch was done at the National Photographic Interpretation Center, then located in Washington, D.C.
	The 8mm, already split, film, this would be the original, developed in Dallas, was taken to the NPIC on Saturday, the 23rd of November, 1963, where they had to have a shop owner open his store to buy an 8mm projector so they could watch the film.
	One team of processors were on duty on Saturday.
	The following day, on Sunday, a different group was at work at the NPIC, and they were given a 16mm unsplit film developed in Rochester at a secret CIA works David Lifton identified as Hawkeye Works, which replaced the original.
	Now, if you go to the following slide, you'll see there's a completely stupendous accounting of all of this switch in detail in Volume 4 of Douglas Horme's Completely Stupendous Inside the Assassination Records Review Boards.
	Where Doug Horn was a senior analyst for Military Records and has reported what he discovered.
	It is sensational, very powerful.
	Anyone with any doubt about virtually any aspect of the medical evidence I've been reporting upon can find verification there.
	In the next slide, you see, this is an optical I've got one more slide, Scott.
	One more slide and I'm done.
	They used an optical printer at Special Effects to combine features of other films together.
	They could have had JFK doing backflips, had they so desired.
	Where I published an entire book about it, The Great Zapyruder Film Hoax, in 2003.
	And where, you know, go one more slide there, Sean, and you'll get the book and its cover.
	Yes, and there's the actual film where you can see the A-side and the B-side.
	Scott, this is perfect for today, and when we return we'll discuss who is involved in the shooters and who is responsible for the assassination of JFK.
	Tremendous, tremendous revelation.
	Something that every American needs to know.
	This is precisely what will ensure that we never allow anything like this ever to happen again and go unchallenged.
	To consider the betrayal and treason of the United States Department of Treasury and the Secret Service that has been given the hallowed faith and trust to defend the president.
	Their participation.
	Lyndon Johnson's participation.
	All of this conspiracy aimed at murdering John F. Kennedy is coming out and it should shock and disgust every American but most importantly convict them that they have to stand up for their rights or you will have this sort of police tyranny Government Murder Squad.
	Go after everybody and anybody.
	A tremendous show, Jim.
	We will pick it up next week for part three.
	I want to give you the last minute or two to give your closing remarks.
	Dr. Fetzer, go ahead.
	Well, Scott, I'm so grateful, as I observed before, even Vincent Bugliosi acknowledged that my threesome of books, Assassination Science, 1998, Murder in Dealey Plaza, 2000, and The Great Zapruder Film Hoax, 2003, were the only exclusively scientific books ever published on the assassination.
	They leave no doubt about it, and as I shall explain in our concluding segment, Revealing the cover-up exposes the perpetrators, because there are very few who could have altered the film, controlled the x-rays, substituted another brain for that of JFK, to be continued to its conclusion.
	Thank you for joining us, ladies and gentlemen.
	Please join us next week for part three of the JFK assassination exposed.
