Assassination Still Stirs Emotions, Doubts Neeley St The Journal Times 4A Friday, November 22, 2013 Nation Nov. 22, 1963 s Dallas, Texas s 12:30 p.m. Central time s Assassination of John F.

Kennedy’s administration was identified with currents of global change: sharp crises in the Cold War, the looming specter of the Vietnam conflict, social changes embodied by the civil rights movement. His killing in Dallas at age 46 deeply shocked the American public. Many still feel the official account of the assassination, the Warren Commission Report of 1964, presented some questionable findings and selectively ignored some evidence. It concluded the assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, acted alone. Fifty years later, doubts persist over some key questions: JFK, first lady Jacqueline One shooter, Kennedy and Texas Gov.

  • The Texas School Book Depository Building
    THE TEXAS SCHOOL BOOK DEPOSITORY BUILDING: PRESERVING THE DARK SIDE OF HISTORY by Richard West Sellars P JL rom a sixth floor corner window of the Texas School Book Depository Building in Dallas, the traf­ fic below seems surprisingly close—a slow-moving car makes an easy target. Lee Harvey Oswald had the same view as he crouched at this sixth floor window to watch the presidential motorcade approach on Hous­ ton Street and turn down Elm Street, passing through Dealey Plaza. Then he shot and killed President Kennedy. With the assassination on Novembet 22, 1963, ordinary urban features here on the west edge of downtown Dallas suddenly became infamous landmarks, known worldwide — the grassy knoll, the triple underpass, the School Book Depository. Centered around Dealey Plaza, this area forms a kind of amphitheater —open to the west, ringed on other President and Mrs. Kennedy arriving at the Dallas Airport. John F. sides by buildings of medium height, including the deposi­ Kennedy Library. tory on the north. This was the stage on which "Camelot" ended. The Historical Foundation is using the murderer's roost In November 1963, the sixth floor of the depository was to interpret a traumatic event still painful for many people. a single, large storeroom almost completely filled with boxes One might logically question whether this is a proper of school books, which provided Oswald ample seclusion response to the assassination. It focuses on the president's while he fired shots from the window. Following the assas­ death, not his life.

  • The JFK Assassination and the Politics and Culture of Conspiracy Theory
    A Paranoid Style? : The JFK Assassination and the Politics and Culture of Conspiracy Theory Joseph Broadbent Degree of Masters of Arts by Research University of East Anglia School of American Studies January 2014 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. 2 Abstract This thesis analyses the phenomenon of conspiracy theory, using the assassination of President John F. Kennedy as a case study. Doubt is the root cause of conspiracy theory, stemming from both the innate biases all humans exhibit, and a traumatic experience – in this case the assassination of JFK. This thesis argues that conspiracy theories are created and take hold because of a predisposition toward conspiracy theory, a misinterpretation of a central piece of evidence, such as the Zapruder film, and agency panic, where dispossession causes one to feel as if their agency is under threat. Conspiracy theory can provide believers with many emotions which appear to the individual to not be available elsewhere, namely closure, comfort, control, and a sense of leisure. Using the assassination of JFK, this thesis examines the role of conspiracy theory in modern American society. It weighs up the benefits of conspiracy theory, such as it is an example of free speech and it can aid transparency, with the negatives: that it can possibly cause harm to its adherents and their dependants because of a belief in ends justifying the means.

  • The Assassination of John F. Kennedy Nov. 22, 1963
    THE ASSASSINATION OF JOHN F. KENNEDY NOV. 22, 1963 The murder of President John F. Kennedy in Dallas, Texas, sent shock through out this Nation. Ever since November 22,1963, the American People . have lost faith in the Government of the United States and every day that goes by, that lost faith grows. Why? I read the Warren Commission Report on the death of JFK and soon put it away, but as time went along, questions began to enter my mind. Having spent over 25 years in lawenforcement, I began to see things that were over looked by the Warren Commission (WC), or just did not want to have more material that would take time and cause more questions to be asked. To find out if there was a conspiracy, I would have to come up with how many shots were fired and where they came from. I also wanted to know why no mention of a second fingerprint was never mentioned, since it was found on the rifle. I also wanted to know why two shots were not on the recording made at the Dallas Police Dept. Only four were heard, or recorded. The Zapruder film with the gun fire imposed, gives the viewer a good idea of what happened, except the two shots were missing-accident or? I have gone over each shot and where it came from. I have tried to disprove each and have not been able to find any other answer. As far as I am concerned, fact is fact. What we have is a conspiracy to commit treason.

  • Memorandum (Draft)
    MEMORANDUM (DRAFT) January 22, 1996 TO: Jeremy Gunn CC: David Marwell FROM: Doug Horne SUBJECT: Issues for ARRB to Pursue with Kodak in Response to the Kodak Letter of January 7, 1997 1. Following review of Kodak’s letter to ARRB dated January 7, 1997, I recommend ARRB consider further pursuit of the following issues with Kodak: a. Highest Priority: (1) Roll of 120 Film from Autopsy: Digitally scan, and enhance to the greatest extent possible, the 3 extremely dark positive images (apparently post mortem autopsy photographs of President Kennedy) found on the roll of 120 Ektachrome color transparency film which is part of the Kennedy family deed-of-gift (i.e., the autopsy photograph collection); produce varied-exposure reproductions of the enhanced images in the most appropriate imaging format(s), preferably 8" X 10" in size. [Furthermore, ask Kodak whether Earl McDonald’s hypothesis--that this is simply a roll of Ektachrome E3 color transparency film which was exposed only to ambient room light (without properly synchronized flash illumination) when the shutter was opened to expose the three images in question, subsequently “flashed” (i.e., intentionally pulled out of the camera and exposed to ambient light), and developed normally--could be valid.] (2) Zapruder Film (Original): Digitally scan the original Zapruder film, analyze the image content, and record the digitized film image content on CD ROM for retention in the National Archives. [Types of analysis should include motion-related questions (such as whether or not the image content

  • A 3-D Lighting and Shadow Analysis of the JFK Zapruder Film (Frame 317)
    A 3-D Lighting and Shadow Analysis of the JFK Zapruder Film (Frame 317) Hany Farid Department of Computer Science 6211 Sudikoff Lab Dartmouth College Hanover NH 03755 603.646.2761 (tel) 603.646.1672 (fax) [email protected] Abstract Claims of a broader conspiracy behind U.S. President John F. Kennedy's assassination have persisted for the past nearly five decades. The Zapruder film is considered to be the most complete recording of JFK's assassination. Many have claimed that this 8mm film was manipulated to conceal evidence of a second shooter, which would invalidate the claim that a lone gunman, Lee Harvey Oswald, was responsible for JFK's assassination. Here we con- sider the viability of one specific claim of postproduction tampering in the Zapruder film. 1. Introduction United States President John F. Kennedy was assassinated on November 22nd, 1963 while his procession was driving through Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas. Shortly afterwards, Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested and charged with the crime. Because he was killed before his trial, and the conclusions of the Warren Commission[1] have been challenged, many questions surrounding the assassination remained unanswered. Since this time, numerous theories have circulated suggesting that Oswald acted as part of a larger criminal con- spiracy involving a variety of government, international, or criminal groups. Abraham Zapruder captured the most complete documentation of the events of November 22nd with his Bell & Howell 8mm roll film camera. After Figure 1: Frame 317 of the Zapruder film (left), and a magnified view of JFK { the authenticity of the shadow on the back of JFK's head has been called into question.

  • Zapruder Film
    Zapruder film From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search Frame 150 from the Zapruder Film The Zapruder film is a silent, 8 mm color home movie shot by Abraham Zapruder in Dallas, Texas, in Dealey Plaza while standing near "the grassy knoll" during the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963. It is the definitive, most authoritative footage of the assassination. Contents [hide] • 1 Background • 2 History • 3 Use in "JFK" • 4 External links [edit] Background Zapruder filmed the scene with a Model 414 PD Bell & Howell Zoomatic Director Series Camera that operated via a spring-wound mechanism at an average tested speed of 18.3 frames-per-second. The entire Dealey Plaza exposed film frames lasts 26.6 seconds, with the presidential assassination sequence occupying 19.3 seconds. There are 486 frames altogether. The sequence is recorded on Kodak Kodachrome II 8 mm movie safety film. Zapruder, who suffered from vertigo, made the film while being steadied by his receptionist, Marilyn Sitzman, standing on the most western of two concrete pedestals which extend from the John Neely Bryan north pergola cement structure, overlooking Elm street in Dealey Plaza. President Kennedy's automobile was below and almost exactly in front of Zapruder on Elm Street, at the time of his fatal wound to the head. The film has been used by the Warren Commission and all subsequent investigations of the assassination. The Zapruder frames used by the Commission consist of exhibits 889–899 plus exhibits 901 and 902 (totaling less than 1 second of the actual 26.6 second film), published in the commission supporting volume XVIII.
