JFK-Assassination-As-It-Happen...
The gasps from the crowd...they've never seen this before. The average American had to wait twelve years to see this.
That was the " idea," as " Powers that Be," wanted to" disclose some of what happened," even tho,the film had altered by that time."
You know why?..
Three letters: C I A
They had the footage (proven in another video on youtube) to DOCTOR it and make it seem like he was shot from behind as best they could. CIA is evil
Time-Life Representatives (with clear CIA ties), descended within hours on Abraham Zapruder, offered him (I believe) $125,000 IN 1963!.......to purchase the film outright. This would mean that the filmed record of the JFK Assassination would be in a safe, kept from the American people, so that the Warren Commission could be the FINAL SAY, that Oswald "acted alone," and was a Communist. The effect of Time-Life buying the film within hours of Zapruder film means that the "powers that be" wished to seclude the film away from the American people, so that we'd STILL in 2022 be clueless as to what REALLY happened: They would hide the direction of the bullet from the front, and let the Warren Commission lay down the phony narrative that the shot was from behind. The shot was CLEARLY from the front. Much like the CIA producing phony info against Donald Trump from 2016 until this minute, if the "powers that be" want a narrative to be kept going, they can. Very scary for a free people if the "Government and it's agencies" can lie, deflect and just conspire to make things up against a sitting President, or even have a hand in covering up a conspiracy to KILL a President.
It was shocking, but it was shocking that people hated our President enough to do this! And to think they quit looking for evidence an hour and a half later, opened back up the area to heavy traffic and the public to pick up scalp and skull portions.
It amazes me how this happens right in front of the police station, city hall, Federal Annex Building, in the heart of the "Gateway to Dallas"! All coordinated with a crazy umbrella going wildly up and down and a camera rolling, at the precise point of impact, not the plane full of press did not get any or hardly any footage of the motorcade. So many people were told by FBI or police were outright told they were wrong. That confuses the whole issue.
No matter the shots, how can anyone conclude he acted alone?????
@@shernitadee also the fact JFK grabs the front of his throat, and not the back of his neck, proving a front shooter.
I remember this night for several reasons. I was 11 years old at this time. We had had a storm in our town and the electricity went off at our home. My mom allowed my brother and I to sleep in the living room on pallets made of blankets, pillows and sheets. Later that night, the electricity came on, and the lights coming on, woke me up. My brother and I were hungry so we turned on the TV and got a snack from the kitchen. This program was on. Being history buff I wanted to watch. I’ll never forget it.
Back when Geraldo Rivera was a REAL reporter...😎
I agree. He was damn good in that era. What happened???????
@@thetreasurehouse1742 Several things, when this show was cancelled, 20/20 made him their Mike Wallace and he was very good until he took on the Kennedy’s and Roone Arledge forced him out of ABC. I think he got very drunk on the fame he’d acquired in the process. He’s very good at torpedoing and then reviving his career.
Amen
@@jennifersman7990 I agree, very drunk. BUT, his early career gets my applause.
@@jennifersman7990 It was the ‘Tommy Gun’ and Al Capone’s empty vaults that put the nail in his career. He did move into my home town of Red Bank, N.J. Saw him several times before I moved away.
I was a freshman at UTEP when Dick Gregory stopped on his tour and delivered his speech and showed the Zapruder film in the campus auditorium, which was full to capacity. This film was shown on a theater size screen. Various students ran out, some screamed and yelled, gasps and a few were seen being ill in their seats. I was shocked numb, and the memory of that evening's program will stay with me always. Rest in peace, President Kennedy.
Go Miners!
Go Miners I also went to UTEP. Are you sure the students didn't eat that watered down mayonnaise elote en vaso from the placita?
Well said. Thank you for the great insight.
And Go UTEP (formerly Texas Western) Miners!
I ate my popcorn
Geraldo Rivera helped bring the most examined and viewed piece of film in history to the public attention. Absolutely incredible moment in television.
I saw it that Mar. 6, 1975 evening, already suspicious of the government narrative and blaming a single person. If he did nothing else, this is the greatest thing Geraldo Rivera did or could do for the public and knowledge on how the government was constantly lying to them for over 11 years. Blaming the murder on a single person shooting from the rear, when the film clearly, brutally showed by the immutable laws of physics, the fatal shot had to come from the front, in the grassy knoll area, exactly as so many witnesses saw and ran to after seeing smoke rising there. Behind the picket fence, hidden from view, and with only a 2X scope on a rifle, with the limo slowing down below the already lower than 11mph Secret Service rule by their drivers, almost to a complete stop, as witnesses saw the brake lights flash, it would be difficult to miss. Physics was not repealed on that day and place! The real beginning of the destruction in the general public in blindly and naively ever trusting government again!
Today is March 1, 2023, and for the last several weeks my UT feed is loaded with programs by Sixth Floor Museum, (Dallas School Depository). Museum shows are avoiding to mention the existence or contradict the content of Girardo's show, (Zapruder's film).
I am not surprised as for some 50 years I have been stating that the SYSTEM was successful in eradicating the thinking capacity of the majority of the population.
@@paulsdancing5429 First off, conspiracy mongers touted the Z film as incontrovertible
proof of a conspiracy to kill the president. Indeed, the film was the
prime piece of evidence used here by Geraldo "Empty Vault" Rivera; and by James Garrison to argue his case against Clay Shaw. But even the crazy Garrison would have never believed that
the latest big rage in the conspiracy community is its charge that the
film, through alteration, is a forgery, created by photo experts to
conceal the truth and frame Oswald! So in a few short years, the Z film
goes from positively proving a conspiracy to being a forgery, altered to
conceal one! As the conspiracist said when ordering: "I'll have it
both ways."
@@paulsdancing5429 hiding the truth is just as bad as lying about it.
He didn't get it, the TIME magazine publishers got it. Geraldo just showed something that TIME already had years before.
I vividly remember watching this episode, I was 13 and it changed my life. I became obsessed with reading everything I could about the assassination. I sometimes wished I had never watched that night, sometimes the truth doesn't set you free but instead traps you into doubting everything you're told (at least by the government) I just wish the government would come clean on it. I know that will never happen.
Why did it happen and by whom?
Your innocence was stolen that night and your skepticism is how we all feel.
The same happened to me, but I'm younger so it happened in the 50th anniversary of the assassination... When I saw it I just felt so incredibly sad and helpless. I wanted to be able to shout at him through time "Don't go to Dallas!". Not that they wouldn't have found another way, day and place to kill him...
I remember it vividly. I was 10 watching in my room on 12 inch b&w. After the Watergate and this. Somehow I knew they were connected and lost any trust I had in the government. I did feel like my innocence was robbed from me. There are really evil people running things. Just like today.
@@TheJetfighter666 Exactly.. The cia and the mob did it. Fbi was to cover it up and Allen Dulles was appointed to the warn commission to block any cia or military ties. JFK fired Dulles. It would be like have having James Comey investigate a coup on TRUMP. Stonewalled. Lone crazed gunman case closed.
Mr. Rivera was a pioneer. He was a showman, informed, and entertained his audience. I greatly miss the "old" Geraldo. Thanks for sharing.
Yeah, wow. What happened to him???
Exactly. The Old Geraldo. Well said.
He's eating gyros with Jilambu Mustafa and Alibaba Rahim!!
Geraldo had great hair!!!
Geraldo did his show as part of a revolving host format - a different host each night, including Dick Cavett and Jack Paar. I saw it when I was 12 and TV Guide mentioned in its programming blurb that GNA was going to have the Zapruder film. Not a front-page splash, but an obscure mention in programming notes. Amazing history.
The sound of the audience gasped gives me chills, soo terrifying
RIP Dick Gregory, what a valuable contributor to society
He was a nut.
This was the beginning of the end for American media.
Operation Mocking bird had commenced in the 50s, I think.
67foxcharlie end of America more like
67foxcharlie you mean the corrupt government!!!
Beginning of the end of America.
How so?
Oh how Geraldo has fallen. He used to be a real reporter.
Oh how the country has fallen. The more rabbit holes reporters and journalists go down, the more they see the truth.
My God, Geraldo's been on the news forever!
+Max Power He may have grown as a personality, but he sure regressed as a journalist!
Max Power He is a cockroach of a journalist.
Jeff Sartain THAT NASTY 😲😲
Max Power and he has not aged a day I was only 17 at the time and now I'm ready for retirement home I'm having health problems all kind of s*** and this mother f***** still looking young damn what's this f****** secret
Libertyjack1 Max Power and he has not aged a day I was only 17 at the time hope this broadcast back in 1975 I was at the boys Reformatory School in Mississippi and they allowed us to stay up late at night due to watch this in the barracks I was strong strapping young man and now I'm ready for retirement home I'm having health problems all kind of s*** and this mother f***** still looking young damn what's this f****** secret
You can thank Jim Garrison for getting this movie released, it went all the way to the Supreme Court, many bootlegs were made of his copy of the film.
I’m surprised they even let this air
geraldo was actually visibly shaken..wow
“Have you shown this to anyone in power?” He felt like he was being put on the hit list in that moment
Dick Gregory knew how "the game" was played. Lots of legit old school knowledge.
No, he really did not
@@djf750 Boy are you bamboozled.
@@TheJetfighter666 so who SPECIFICALLY was behind this "conspiracy"
Please be SPECIFIC
@@djf750 Our Govt! Duh! I know who this is. We have talked about this case to Nauseam Rouge factions of the CIA, ONI. Operation Mongoose . Same team. Cuban , sharpshooters, Corsican and Malcom’ Wallace . Johnson waiting in the wings. Samual Trafecante. 3 teams. Book Depository, Dal Tex Building and behind picket fence. Tippet likely the image you see from the Morman pic. Govt afraid Jack would get us killed.. soft on Comunisium. Oil deflation tax. Vietnam. All involved were doing it for us.
@@djf750 a giant conspiracy involving MANY ....not just a single person. The RFK assassination is even much more clearer of a grand cover up.
The most watched film in film history
I like it that news programs back then had the audiences listening, rather than making noise and interrupting whenever some point, or comment, was made.
Another comment. Rivera was much more journalistic back then. Now, he's just PR.
Libertyjack1 Amen. Modern whooping and calling is beyond annoying
I think Geraldo has always been Puerto Rican. Now he’s just a right wing asshole.
Geraldo says the word "unsettling" during this video. I'm not sure there is a better way to describe how it makes you feel. They were 100% right when talking about this free country of ours.
Wow, they actually showed enlightening topics on television back in the day.
"Enlightening", no.
Genuine? Yes.
@@clc-gl4jn That JFK was shot from the front was enlightening to many.
@@DavidBrown-bp4iq in the sense of understanding the CIA plot on him, oh yes.
The fact he was shot? No... Disheartening
@@DavidBrown-bp4iq if you look at the still photos of the car as it pasted the book building & blow it up . Directly under the rear view mirror is a hole & you can see JFK’s hand raising up to his throat . Also someone took the precaution of scratching out the face of what could be CIA agent George Bush . Who’s distinctive posture & silhouette appear in other photos in the same spot
@@raymondmanderville505 Yes. I have seen these same things.
If you ever get the chance to visit JFK's grave at Arlington, I would highly recommend it. It really brings that tragic day into focus. I was amazed at how quiet and reverent people were at his tomb. His death still resonates with people to this day.
I've been to the Six Floor Museum in Dallas twice. I never see anyone misbehave. Moreover, it's rare to hear anyone even speak loudly.
Unfortunately it only resonates with people that were alive when it happened. The kids today can’t even tell you who the First President was.
I agree. Very solemn. On the other hand, I’ve been to Dealy Plaza. There are xx’s on the road where the fatal shot hit Kennedy. People will wait for a break in traffic and take selfies there.
Another good monument to visit in DC is the Vietnam memorial. It gives you more insight on what that war meant. It was an Asian designer that won the contract and there was alot of controversy over that but once it was built I never heard anyone complain again. I think she nailed it. It's very strong emotion to stand at that wall and see the names of 58,000 young people (mostly kids) that paid the price for our leaders decision.
@@alwayslernin4400 agreed. It says nothing of the conflict good or bad or reasons why or against. It quite simply shows the cost of war
Rest in peace Mr. Gregory.
He fasted for peace a role model for the world.
thank you as my name is Mr Gregory so thank you again from the grave
I knew the man was a class act
I remember seeing the zapruder film here in the UK around 75 . The plume of blood from the headshot was shocking to see and we all uttered various exclamations of surprise .
That plume of blood and brain tissue was the main part of the Z-film altered by the photo doctors that weekend, and probably started that very evening. Motorcycle cop B.J. Martin trailing the limo in back and on the left side (where Jackie sat) was hit with blood and matter so strongly, he later said he thought he was hit by the bullet. That is why the alteration was changed to make it appear it went up and to the right, changing the perspective on where the shot originated if it was shown it was ejected to the rear and left. Obviously, a shot from the front and slightly to the right of the limo.
@@freeguy77 Yes. The film was altered in the first 48 hours. Between this reality and the song and dance done at Bethesda- no one could reasonably believe any mafia, or rogue intelligence unit could have pulled this off. That is why they are still lying today- the agencies, sons, and families involved are the same criminals running the US mafia state today. This is the ultimate doc. on the alteration of the Zapruder film.ruclips.net/video/J_QIuu6hsAc/видео.html
@@freeguy77 If that was true, why did the brain bulge out towards the front (along with the spray)? Exit wounds are bigger than entry wounds- obvious rear entry wound here. The car was going 20-30 mph so the spray of blood up into the air could easily be hit by motorcycle cops following behind.
@@baselbob8012 Wrong facts on key things you believe! The limo ground almost to a STOP, and NOT the ridiculous "20 to 30 mph" you believe! Witnesses reported the brake lights flashed on when the limo was already well BELOW the S S. required minimum 11mph, when driver William Greer did not step on the accelerator while bullets were entering the limo! Fact: motorcycle cop B.J. Martin, behind and to the left of where Jackie was sitting, was drenched in so much blood and matter, he said later, he thought HE was shot. The Z-film was altered that weekend to redo the exit mass supposedly going UP in the air and to the right, but the alteration at Kodak's Rochester, NY plant at the CIA section, was done to hide the true direction of where the fatal shot came from. Since the first doctors to see Kennedy at Parkland Hospital, who saw his head wound reported a huge baseball size hole in the REAR occipital/parietal area, proving the shot had to be the exit wound. Proof of the frontal shot, slightly to the right of the limo. Dr. Malcolm Perry, the very first doctor to work on him, reported a small, neat wound in the throat, just below his Adam's apple. Perry used the hole to insert a tracheotomy tube to help with breathing. But they knew there was no chance to save him with one third of his brain blown away. That skull piece was later retrieved from the street and identified as from the rear, again proving a front shot, as was the throat wound. No "neck" wound from the rear, at all! That was the cover up storyline.
@@baselbob8012 Physics tell you that recoil will make things appear as if the shot came from a different direction.--I personally think Oswald did not act alone! I was 11 when Kennedy was killed.
I didn't realize until a few years ago that it took 12 years for this film to be shown (70s baby). Things sure have changed, now it would be everywhere within seconds.
OGSpaceCadet not really. HITLARYS a known traitor and no one on the news hardly talks about it and we never hear about pizzagate on the news or Comey and Howdy Doody! Why?
lol wikileaks is proof that it would be hidden more and better than ever!! The real journalists of today end up in prison
And unaltered. That's a good thing while it lasts. It would probably be yanked off or blocked within minutes right now.
@@alwayslernin4400 The Zapruder film has been shown to have been altered.
@@meetontheledge1380 I was responding to the top comment. Nowadays you would get the film almost instantaneous and unaltered.
"The Rockefeller Commission" investigated the CIA. Sounds legit.
review the background on all the "Rockefeller Commission" members.....and then throw in Ronald Reagan for good measure......now there is a team motivated to get to the bottom of CIA abuses..
Dont forget the Dulles brothers whom Kennedy had fired ffs lol.they didnt try to hide the cover up even .
I'm glad that it sound as insane to younger generations as it did to me at the time.
BEFORE HE JOINED THE FAKE FOX NEWS RIGHTWING CONSERVATIVE CORPORATE SOCIALIST NETWORK. WELFARE AND HANDOUTS ARE ONLY GOOD WHEN IT'S GOING TO THE TOP 10PERCENT AND CORPORATIONS AND THE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL MACHINE. SOCIALISM.
RIGHTWING CONSERVATIVE CORPORATE SOCIALISTS KILLED JFK.
Robert Groden should have been given a medal for the work he did trying to get the truth out to the american people and the world.
@pauldurkee4764 Of course Groden (disingenuous con-artist that he is) never bothered to "bring to a national audience for an inaugural viewing" a frame-by-frame analysis of the Zapruder film. For if he did, that audience would have seen the President's head initially snap forward 2-3-inches in frame #312 as the fatal bullet made impact, before it recoiled backward in a neuro-muscular spasm, a red mist cloud of brain matter also traveling forward. Thereby, the evidence of a shot from behind is made dramatically clear. But why should Groden bother? when it's easier to entertain, provoke and promote himself by hyping a faux conspiracy.
@@stddisclaimer8020
Well your opinion is one thing, but its based on the Zapruder film we see today, the original was in the hands of the powers that be within a very short time after Zapruder sold it to time magazine. I think they used the Eastman Kodak labs from memory.
@@pauldurkee4764 It's hardly a matter of "opinion" that the initial forward head movement (frame #312 )along with the explosion forward of skull and brain material is entirely consistent with a shot from Oswald's sniper's nest. By frame #313, the grassy knoll area was perpendicular to the President's head; a bullet would have exited through the left side of the skull; but autopsy X-rays and photos show no metal fragments in the left hemisphere. much less a gaping exit wound.
The theory that the Z-film was "tampered" with is a non-starter, put to rest by (among much else) the fact that the Nix and Muchmore films both match the Zapruder film at the moment of the fatal shot. Were all these films found, seized, and then altered *_identically_* -in less than a day, by shady n' sinister "powers that be"? The question alone evokes the sound of hearty laughter.
@@stddisclaimer8020
You're not a government employee by any chance?
The fact remains, if there is nothing to hide, why not release everything and it will be all out in the open, that must include the identities of the persons who ordered the destruction of evidence, samples, photographs and film.
@@pauldurkee4764 You're not someone (by any chance) born after the event who was weaned on nothing but the hogwash of pro-conspiracy literature? The question answers itself. You cannot defeat all the probative photographic, ballistic, physical and forensic evidence, a small part of which was cited in the previous post. Unable to defeat it, and lacking a coherent counter-argument, you run off, slinging behind you the trite & tired old accusation of being a "government employee." Don't flatter yourself that the government (any government) has nothing better to do for 59 years than to hang around the RUclips comments section, devoting time, energy and resources to monitor what crap JFK conspiracy-addled clowns like "Paul Durkee" might be pinching out. Finally, your much beloved, fantasized JFK conspiracy does not lurk behind so-called “hidden files.” The ARRB (a non-governmental review board) already examined all the files that have not yet been released. After their study was done, they reported there was nothing which would go to prove or even suggest a conspiracy in any of them. The files that have not been released are because they contain names of people that are still alive and should be protected; or they detail investigative procedures the FBI, CIA or other governmental agencies do not want publicized. The "hidden" files are the last gasp by the conspiracy kooks that have nothing left. They have no evidence of a conspiracy and no clue who or what else to blame.
That stuff Ralph shares about Ruby is so pertinent and doesn't get mentioned these days.

I've watched this video 3 times in the last few days. It's the most fascinating video I've ever watched.
I saw this live when I was 12.5 years old and had nightmares for weeks.
We should get this video to blow up on social media
Insensitive choice of words
I remember this show but as a weekly 1hour program with Geraldo as the only host I recall, not as a daily show with revolving hosts. It quickly became one of my very favorites being 18 years old along with ABC's The American Sportsman on Saturday afternoons. I recall several topics of discussion that Geraldo took on at the time that were on everyones minds but usually got Geraldo demonized a little by the press, and publicity types and other reporters or news journalists. He never backed down from a story even when he was threatened by news agencies or for his own safety. He had a lot balls and backbone as far as his investigations were concerned at the time which I admired him for so I watched his program every time it was on.
his wife's reaction is the most haunting part..
Jacky shoots him. look at the smoke from the gun.
CheeseBon that's right a very creepy reaction to seeing your husband shot is to push him away like an old piece of meat, right?
@@toddbubolz8886 she pushed him away so she could go grab the fragment of skull, scalp and hair on the trunk. In that split second, she reacted as if he dropped something and went to pick it up suddenly. Not exactly rational, but the situation was obviously unusual.
@@toddbubolz8886 what ? a head right next to her own head exploded
lol @ anyone who *knows* how they're going to react when a loved one's head explodes right next to theirs, in public......
Joe Rogan and Oliver Stone brought me here
Me too. Wish somebody could present a counter point to argue how this is just a conspiracy theory despite the evidence presented here.
Same as to joe bringing me here. Its officially a conspiracy theory yes but it's such shit with all the evidence forward and since Epstein, I about trust the government as far as I can spit.
@@JTU46 speaking of Epstein, out of curiosity, has anybody "up above" been even fired for letting the guy on "suicide watch" committing suicide?? I mean isn't that the purpose of the "suicide watch", not to let the guy do that? If that happens, shouldn't somebody face severe consequences for not following the process and ending up losing a guy of that magnitude?
@@PavelSTL en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Jeffrey_Epstein There is a wiki page dedicated to this thing and it just irradiates how stupid this whole thing is and literally how they are just oh hes dead so we will just shift his case over to Maxwell and forget he was just murdered. The guards watching him are the only ones charged from what I read. That's it hahaha

He used to get up at the crack of Dawn!
@@johnestupido1418😂😂😂
I was thinking wow I wonder if people told him he looked just like Tony Orlando and I see your comment. 😊
i was shaken to the core the first time I saw the footage and it still bothers me . i usually close my eyes when the fatal shot hits him . the things human beings can do to each other astonishes me.
This started me on my Journey. I have spent my entire adult life on the case. I estimated about five years in total time. I mean every second too. Check out Glorionblak- Let Justice Be Done. ( bad recoding/ just a little cassette of rehearsals) but powerful.
America sells guns to it's citizens like buying groceries, that's why you have tens of 1,000s of people being shot & the yearly amounts of mass killings as well & nothing changes. You are the only country that behaves this crazy way & look what you can buy now, assault weapons.
@@seltaeb3302 Switzerland arms and trains all of it's citizens.
It's called hatred, and pure evil.
Look again. Did left-handed Jackie shoot Jack? It seems so impossible until recent uodates claim Jackie was an 007 CIA agent, and her neighbour, Mary Meyers, her husband C.I.A., was intending to marry Jack after the 1964 election.
How would Jackie handle that plan, divorce or an accident, like Princess Dianne.
The conspiracy theories continue, and this is just one of them.
I am still shocked, too, if beloved Jackie shot Jack.
The Kennedys would want it concealed, forever, too.
I'm sure everyone already knows this
But the reason why JFK never hunched over when he was shot first in the neck was because he was wearing a back brace. You can see he's trying to hunch over in pain, but he just couldn't
Most people don’t know how sick he was. He had chronic and severe back pain for which he received surgery for. Also diagnosed with Addison’s Disease in 1947.
It was illegal not to have facial hair in the 70s.
What?! 😲
NYRfan4Life he’s joking
In Eastern Europe was illegal to have facial hair. And that's not a joke.
Razor blades weren’t $35 a pop back
It was illegal to not have facial hair but it was one of those laws that wasn't enforced.
Every time I see this I just think of how traumatized Jackie must have been. That bullet was inches from her face and her husbands brains exploded all over her. Jesus, what a strong woman woman you’d have to be to over come that.
She was remarried in a few years so it clearly didn’t phase her
@@zeitGGeist she's playing the "empowered women" card..
Unfortunately, trauma goes underground. People compartmentalise their feelings, but they affect them later subconsciously and in the body. She surely didn't completely overcome that.
@@zeitGGeist she married a man who offered her protection. I don't blame her a bit nor do I doubt her love for Jack.
@Evolution The Lie did you even see how close her head was to the final shot? Give me a break.
42 years since this broadcast and we are even more fucked!
How about 2021 ?
Even more so
Shown after Lyndon Johnson , Edgar Hoover died and Nixon resigned, they felt it was safe.
Don't forget the CIA. By the mid-1970s the CIA was being exposed for what it was (at that time).......an out-of-control agency that didn't seem to be accountable to any one or any thing.......but itself.
They felt it was safe because they had already altered the film, and because they can always cook up another distraction, and because the American people were being dumbed down right on schedule. Nowadays the US gov. doesn't even need to cover up their criminal activities.
When Geraldo had a conscience.
This was Geraldo doing some good, honest journalism. I have more respect for him now than ever. And Dick Gregory was a legend - RIP.
I saw this live when I was 12....I had nightmares for weeks.
He's right, this country is in a lot of trouble.
Then make a plan to relocate. I sure will...
Country is in trouble right now.
Kyle Kostello Very little has changed since 1975 as far Washington DC is concerned. It’s just as corrupt and criminal today as it was then. Probably more so. No matter which party wins, we the people lose.
THAT country (ca. mid 70's) was in mortal danger. Reaganism was the final blow. After Cheney's boy stole the election in 2000, the 9/11 false flag, endless wars and the Patriot Act, THAT country was completely gone. I'm almost 60. I don't even recognize this place anymore.
Thanks for the upload.
"Good Night America" is the perfect title for what happened to this country after JFK was shot... shout-out to Geraldo Rivera, Dick Gregory, Robert J. Groden, and Ralph Sherman
The gasps of the audience from seeing Kennedy being shot for the first time (6:35, 7:10) just tells you how graphic the deadly shot was!
And they're seeing it in 144p! Imagine had they seen it in the refined quality they have on youtube nowadays!
@@aisforamerica2185 I agree!
Wow! Talk shows from the 70's. 🕺💃
I remember this well. It was the very first time I saw the Zapruder film. I was just a boy. And I had nightmares for a few weeks after seeing it. But I really felt I needed to see it.
I’ve been fascinated and immersed in everything Kennedys assassination for more than 20 years, yet I always saw the full Zapruder film as my starting point and thinking it was always there and available. It is therefore so strange to know that the American people only got to see it for the first time 12 years AFTER the dreadful day in Dallas. Of course I now understand why it was hidden from the public for so many years. It is indeed traumatic to see it.
@Evolution The Lie they didn’t cut out parts you idiot, the whole thing was fake, its been proven it’s nothing more than a made up reenactment. Obviously you haven’t done any research because anybody with a brain knows this isn’t real. Many people there that day has verified it’s nothing of what actually happened. Open your eyes sheep.
It's traumatic it took 12 years for public display.
We're adults and we've all seen a horror movie or two.
@@NickNicometi But people know a horror movie is just a piece of fiction. This event was no fiction, and changed history! That is the difference in this 26-sec piece of altered film. Altered in the removal of some frames (ex, the wide turn onto Elm Street, and the 'blob' after frame 313), showing the ejected matter going to the front and up. The real matter ejected was to the rear and left side! Motorcycle cop B.J. Martin was riding on Jackie's left side. He reported hit by so much of it, he thought he had been shot! So, the people at Kodak's Rochester, NY plant did the dirty work for the agency that specialized in foreign leader killings in their regime change ops. They did the same (with help from LBJ, anti-Castro Cubans, the Mob) in organizing the hit to remove their obstacle for directing the U.S. to continue the scary Cold War mentality that Kennedy wanted to end. Including a pullout from the Vietnam debacle he knew would happen if continued with actual combat units, when he had only 16,500 advisors there, with 1,000 out by Dec. 31, in his Oct. 11 order (NSAM #263). And events after the insertion of combat units on Mar. 8, 1965, proved his analysis correct with the NSAM #273 by #36 on Nov. 26, 1963; the day after his funeral!
You’ve never seen the full Zapruder film. This is a doctored version. It was never released to the public, Geraldo got a bootleg copy.
@@freeguy77 The spray went upward and forward, the motion of the car put the agent into the cloud and he got soaked by it. Remember the relative motions involved.
its amazing how zupruders dosent even flinch when the head shot happens he just keeps on filming .I would have jump 10 feet in the air!
Happened so fast he probably didn’t fully comprehend what he was seeing until afterwards.
@@hothotheat3000 ⅚hutto hutto hutto t0 t0_yo tutu
Controlled shooting! 95 percent of the onlookers at that point were agents in place! It was going to be a hit that day! Jackie was in on it!
Everyone in that car know the limo driver took swift aim. It's on the footage!
How in the hell did the "kill shot" not come from the front?
Geraldo has been breaking barriers and reporting stuff most people considered 'taboo' for decades!
Man Geraldo Rivera really used to be that guy what happened
Ladies and Gentleman- this beautiful country we are apart of is not the country we were raised/ taught to believe. Just think about all the horrific events that has happened to our country and how "our government" was/is the Mastermind behind these wicked events!!! We must never be fooled or become corrupted by the evils that be_ Stay awake, aware and alert about everything! Always listen to that voice inside you and your third eye open because this is real!
Watched this live. Couldn't sleep a wink. Caused quite a stir next morning.
Interesting he calls it an Execution.
Well what else was it? He certainly didn't choke on a chicken bone
I caught that one too. I wonder if he said it intentionally, or by accident.
Mr. Gregory was wrong in stating Oswald got a job at the TSBD upon hearing JFK was coming to Dallas. He had already been working there for several months.
Just so you know, Oswald started working at the SBD 5 weeks before the assassination, Oct 16, 1963. The TX trip was announced by the White House on Sept 26.
Oswald got the job at the TSBD through his Landlady Ruth Paine. The route JFK would take was not made public until the day before his arrival in Dallas. This was a crime of opportunity on the part of Oswald.
Peter Montagna Then he was the luckiest assassin ever. How did he know the top would be down? It was raining that morning and they originally planned to have the top up. BTW, how did Oswald just happen to know 5 weeks before what kind of car would be used?
@@moorek1967 you cant argue with these lone nutters.
@@artvankampen1675 okay... so? The route wasn't plotted at that point, so to suggest that he got the job as part of his plan to assassinate JFK is bogus.
The front right is blown out, the exit from the shot which was to the rear.
And here we are almost 2020 .No further along with getting the truth.
We will NEVER KNOW.
There’s a whole lotta stuff people don’t know about 20/20. Think about it………..
Wow. That episode of this show was so cool. I didn't watch this that particular evening when in high school, but heard everyone talking about it. JFK being killed was one of my first memories as a 4-year-old child. Appreciate the post.
I like it at the end when Rivera talks, it is put very clear "commentary." Nowadays its hard to tell the difference between straight reporting and opinion.
Thank you Robert Groden , Dick Gregory, and Geraldo for showing this to America.
God bless the soul of JFK.
And God bless Jack Ruby for taking out that double-murdering piece of Marxist crap. RIP Jack.
We've not ever gotten over his assassination
It's interesting when Dick Gregory said the how interesting that the people at Dealy Plaza had rushed toward the area where they thought the gunman was at. Why would someone rush toward an area where a potential armed person is not knowing that he or they could open fire on the approaching crowd
Exactly. They were running AWAY from where they thought the shots came from.
You can see people in the background running away from the knoll
I was 6 month old on this day when it happened. I'm not even American but German. But I feel the big lost, too, of the American people. It's like 9/11. For some reason I was always more connected to the US than to Germany. Must be cos of the music and lifestyle.
You’d surely remember where you were when you first saw the zapruder film.
The old series In Search Of with Leonard Nimoy.
Please note the composure of this panel. There are clear discussions with no loss of emotional control, no one shouting over each other.
They respected each other's voice.
Imagine this discussion happening today...
The president's head movement and the grassy knoll should not have stirred conspiracy as it has as much as Ruby killing Oswald. When Oswald was killed on TV, that blew people's minds. My parents and their contemporaries told me they went completely batshit with conspiracy theories. Rightfully so.
Something I have noticed that in older versions of the Z film... it is quite obvious the car almost stopped before the headshot.. In newer version unless you focus the everyone in the car being trown foreward you would barely notice
Seeing it enlarged makes me realize how lucky Jackie was to escape unharmed. She was inches away from him.
Brilliant minds. Thanks for the cause to question things
I remember this well! It was so strange to see a piece of history on late night TV. They say a few things that we know now aren't exactly factual, but it's still a hell of a presentation today, looking back.
What things weren't factual?
What things weren't factual.
I've researched this event thoroughly for nearly fifty years and everything that was presented seems to be accurate.
@@AdmoreMethodhas Clint Hill ever been questioned on the alleged involvement?
@@stephaniestanley8041 Do you mean, questioned as to why no secret service members were on the back of the presidential vehicle, like they were supposed to be?
Or, why was the presidential vehicle moving so slow that Clint was able to jump from his vehicle and run down the street to catch up with it?
Or, why did the secret service change the route for the presidential vehicle at the last minute, without telling anyone else?
These things are very, very odd.
I say that if you are going to believe all the extant evidence is fake, then you should also believe everything they tell you, because if they can fake evidence to that degree and coordinate a whole thousands of people conspiracy then they’ve won. You aren’t going to win against such super humans.
I feel bad for the country for what it went through at that time.
Joe Rogan and Killer Mike brought me here.
Love Rogan's podcast. So many interesting topics and guests.
Thanks, David.
I’ve been to the plaza/grassy knoll, stood behind the fence and I’m saying this is where the assassins shot from. Seeing footage of the head shot and being out there in person, no way Oswald, shot Kennedy!!!
OSWALD NEVER HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT PERIOD.
brent sargent Your a fool if you believe that
He only pulled the trigger and killed JFK, killed a policeman, attempted to kill a General....you are an idiot.
You are absolutely correct. LHO had nothing to do with the actual shooting. But as a low level intelligence operative, he was up to something. Ruth Paine helped him to get the job at TSBT. Her background is also subject to question. Sad, but true, our own govt. put the veto on JFK's presidency.
Oswald was involved at some level although I think he realised too late that he was being set up.
Irrefutable fact tells you Oswald did not kill Kennedy he was clearly used as a scapegoat.
If Oswald was solely going to do the shooting he would have shot Kennedy coming up Houston street, with the car travelling so slow, straight towards him thats the easiest, safest shot for a sharpshooter, but he didn't, they let the car turn on to Elm and got him there.
Also a full description was put out on Oswald straight away and was captured only 2 hours later. That has got to be the most swift justice of any crime in human history and a complete impossibility unless..... it was all set up this way.
I cry when I see the zapruder film even though I wasn't even close to born yet!!
I just did the same and ivr seen the film dozens of times
The day in 1975 that America, suspicious and questioning, finally learned they had been had by LBJ, CIA, J. Edgar Hoover, the Secret Service... basically, as the tragedy of Vietnam was ending... so were the trusting affections of the American People. Never again would Americans believe their Government and never again would they send their sons without moral thought into the abyss of war. Realize what this is... it is a point in time, beyond which, everything is changed. The great American Epiphany.
Watching this for school, very interesting all the theories surrounding his death.
People won't ever let go of it. His assassination changed this country forever and ever. Hope and expectation was gone when JFK was assassinated.
geraldo is one of those lucky bastards as far as hair is concerned .. never lost a follicle .. even now almost 80, has a full ass head of hair ... reagan falls into the club too
It is interesting to note the "Umbrella Man" raising his umbrella right after the motorcade goes past the sign, and then the man next to him raising his fist, those movements just seem odd, and if you notice (to me that is) at 6:30 the light pole seems to be a point where the film has been edited, if you look closely before the motorcade goes past the light pole and after it doesnt match, its very subtle but I can notice a difference, anyone else see it or naw?
+Brown Royal Yes, the Zapruder film has been altered, frames have been removed. The public has never seen the original film and never will.
John Hancock
never say never
@@shiwomino5775 Actually, still waiting for the film from the Lincoln assassination to be released!
@@mrbrownroyyal Apparently all three copies of the film were collected and identically altered to match the original's alteration
I remember watching this as well, I was 14. It set me on a life long journey of studying the assassination. This version of the film confirms more than any other version I have seen, that JFK's limo comes to almost a complete stop just before the head shot...you can't tell me that wasn't planned.
@freeguy77 @TheJetfighter666 yep,,
You're correct. @robertsmith3761 yep , a Crossfire method typically utilized in military, movements, 3 point triangle. They, the tactician , strategist, coordinators had been planning the jfk project, assassination for some time , as jfk was a marked man, plus how to do the classic cover up. Right out of manuals of CI!A. Rogue operations, with at least 3 teams of assassins utilizing the Kill Zone to assist with yellow paint stripes on curb for to assist multi-shooters an backup shooters, signal men, radio men, project co-ordinators, etc, big project funded by big oil, an LbJ accountant paid most of shooters. Don't get in the way of someone's money. Don't
Anger the mafia.
LbJ got all types of presidential security to stand down that day as he was the only one with that particular power, and power over rogue elements of police in Dallas. French secret service confirmed the plot all trailed back to LbJohnson .
Kennedy's head moves forward for a fraction of a second before it moves back and to the left. It can be seen in the enhanced slow motion version, though I had to play it a few times.
Why is it that people always run toward gun fire? I hear gun shots I'm running the opposite direction
+Torrey Ellison (Highgear1)
Exactly. Which is another indication that most of those "Knoll" witnesses had no idea where the sounds were coming from.
People don`t "....always run toward gunfire..."
The President had just been shot, people would have beat that punk to death had they found him/her.
In order to catch the assassin, THEY WOULD NECESSARILY HAVE HAD TO RUN TOWARDS THE GUNFIRE.
That's another thing it has never been so much as spoken, mentioned, or considered that;
ITS ENTIRELY POSSIBLE THAT A WOMAN COULD HAVE PULLED THE TRIGGER!!!!! I grew up in the south, I hear gunfire daily, and it is easy to tell from where the sound came!
+michael heaton Depends on who you are or where you are for instance tall buildings will make a difference in sound and gunfire always seems to get mixed reactions I've seen videos of people running towards gunfire other videos show people running away from the danger zone
It's what white people do :D
That's what cowards do.
I wasn't born when he was assassinated. It still brings a tear.
It's amazing that to this day, people still believe that there was only one shooter.
Reasonable people believe that, at least.
Almost 2023 and still no concrete answers. Amazing
That damn sign!
How do you like Geraldo's pseudo british accent back then with a twist of reefer?
+Rolling Stone Yeah..like Madonna's fake British accent. It seems they get a little ego and then have to prove that they are "sophisticated."
His name is Gerald Rivera. He made it Geraldo to sound more latino
@Toia Townes Sorry pal, but there isn't a Puerto Rican on earth who talks like that naturally. It's an obvious put-on & you're a fucking moron. DUH! 😂
@@JamesSmith-vk2ky
No. He's born in American, but of Puerto Rican origin.
He sounds nothing like a british person im british so i know.
The film being shown absolutely triggered public response. Probably impacted the decision to make other pieces of evidence not available to the public. Those involved in concealing the truth see the response for more info and they don't want that.
6:24
just before the car goes behind the sign they cut the video of the original film.
Which makes sense why testimonies report the car coming to a full stop before the final shot.
2018 and stuff is still being covered up from this. Let all documents be released without redactions.
never happen................sad
2023 and the CIA vaults still won't release some 3,500 documents.
I think Groden may have supplied a copy with missing frames. You can notice the limo jumping forward after the headshot making the backwards motion seen more rapid. I compared a few frames in the the closeup clip shown to my DVD copy and noticed frames missing after the headshot. Also frame 313 which is the headshot seems incorrect but the resolution in this video is so poor its hard to be certain
This this is the only video with the headshot which tells you this person filming also works for the cia
A book I read said the SS agent driving the car broke the SS rules stating you speed up to get away from the scene in a shooting like this. He came to a stop like he was waiting for the final shot to come. Then he drove away
@@suecook1326 It is beyond unlikely the driver would be putting himself in the line of fire. In the film he can be observed turning to look back to see what is happening. More likely imo a natural instinctive reaction to take foot off accelerater pedal and maybe even apply some brake causing the already slow moving car to nearly stop. Conspiracy advocates (profiteers) exploit and hype whatever they can without consideration for more rational alternative explanations
@@garadprenticeI missed that, can you give us a time stamp?
@@PetesGuide it’s right before the head shot, the driver , secret service man William Greer, described the first shot as perhaps a backfire of some sort. Thought nothing of it as there were a lot of motorcycles around . Frame 225, the second shot happens. Kennedy and Connelly are clearly reacting to something at the same time as they emerge from behind the Stemmons freeway sign. It was just after this point and just before the fatal headshot when Greer turned to his right and observed Connelly falling to his left. He didn’t break and the Zapruder and Nix films show this. His foot came off of the accelerator when he turned. He estimates around 10-15 mph. Clint Hill, testified he heard a shot, the one preceding the head shot, and exited the running board of the car directly behind the limo. The head shot happens and Hill is seen running trying to protect Jackie as Greer is already gunning it for Parkland.
The version Geraldo showed is a pirated copy that Dick Gregory had been showing around college campuses. Not authorized by Life or the Zapruders. It’s a few generations removed from its source and not in color.
You can find the real version as Zapruder shot it on the 6th Floor Museum website (the Zapruders donated the copyright to them in 99). Or right here on RUclips, a stabilized panoramic view of the film. It’s much easier to understand what’s going on with that version. It’s easier to focus on the event with the shakiness of the original gone.
Bravo, Geraldo!
I was 12 yrs old when this episode aired, but I didn't see it then.
But when I did first view the Zapruder film, a few years later, in high school, I knew immediately we had been lied to about JFK's assassination!
At first, I was horrified, and scared, and not sure how to address the fraud...
I found out pretty early on, that most people still believed the Warren Commission's fantasy fabrication involving Oswald, and the single "Magic Bullet" theory, and got very angry w me, when I insisted that the fatal headshot came from the front; and therefore could NOT have been fired by Oswald, from behind, up in the sixth floor of the Book Depository!
Even before I saw the Zapruder film, proving Oswald's innocence, lots of adults were getting into heated arguments over whether or not a gunman (Rifleman) had shot JFK from behind the fence above the grassy knoll!
When I started researching the facts, I noticed in the historic film taken across the street from Abraham Zapruder, how every person there, including all the motorcycle cops, runs towards the grassy knoll, and the picket fence, to try and catch the shooter(s).
Not one of them runs the other way, towards the Book Depository building! Not one. See for yourself.
Only a couple Dallas Police officers go into the building, probably because their crooked asses were told to by fake Secret Service ahead of time, on cue!
How could it have not been Lee Oswald?
@@CoolCademMAnimates-fz1ui Because the headshot came from in front, and from the right side of JFK, is why.
@@CoolCademMAnimates-fz1ui There is no way his bolt-action rifle was even fast enough to do the required shots. Never mind the b.s. magic bullet account of the Texan governor's injuries.
When I first saw the footage of everybody (save for a few) running towards the grassy knoll, it was quite the sobering experience. And then, the authorities worked to tell everybody who said they heard shots from there hear or thought wrong? WTH?
@@louisbertaux5193 there are videos of people using realistic human head models and shooting it to get very similar gun wounds on RUclips. Just look it up.
Yes Virginia, Geraldo was once a very cool journalist who worked to keep people in power honest.
This show was taped at the now demolished Elysee Theater (ABC Studio TV-15) in NYC, the same studio where Dick Cavett and $10,000 ($20,000) Pyramid called home.
Even on this show they just skip right over that over 30 sec's of film that was cut out and missing . You see the motorcycles coming down the street and then all of a sudden you see the car half way down the street how stupid were people back then .
Zapruder filmed the assassination using a 8mm Bell and Howell Zoomatic. Top of the line when he bought it in 1962. Thing is, it could only shoot around 6-8 minutes of film. He started filming and sees two policeman but not the limo with Kennedy. Not wanting to waste film, he stops and waits for the President’s limousine to come into view. Resumes filming once he sees the limo.
Edit: (additional comments)
One other thing about Zapruder’s camera. It had what is called a “negator spring”. This spring powers the motor which advances the film . There weren’t any batteries for this camera.
Once wound, it powered the camera for around 30 seconds. The entire “Zapruder Film” is 26 seconds long.
Time magazine had the rights for 12 years and never released the footage! Crazy how it came out thankfully it did
Time magazine had ties to the CIA
Great journalism!
