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?????
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.
Im sure you never did forget it !I remember seeing it while I was 13 and it was on something like dateline or one of those showes it is just one of those horrific imagase once seen it cant be unseen.The other was that famous vid of the suspected viet cong kid summarly executed at point blank range in the streets of Sigon during the vietnam war that was just about as graphic as it gets you can clearly see his brain matter exiting his head.
You have a great memory. Waking up to an old movie on TV or something as kids,a lot of those stick in my mind too. TV used to have more charm or a way of making you feel safe. Back when people had hair😅
Dick Gregory was ahead of his time. He is calling out the American media in this clip, telling them they need to shape up because the road they were traveling was detrimental to the American people. How right he was.
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...
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.
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.
@@clemsonbloke wrong, look bought to for 150k printed a few stills and sat on it. Gooden got it because he saw it while he sat on the committee and sued look for it as a matter of national interest.
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.
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.
@@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.

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.
@@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
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.
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 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.
Right now he works for a network that pedals in wacko conspiracy theories like idea that the 2020 election was stolen that only a dummy would believe. That alone cost the fair and balanced network 1 billion dollars in legal fees 😂😂

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.
@Std Disclaimer 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.
@Std Disclaimer 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.
Groden is an idiot as are all the fools who believe in these ridiculous, conspiracy theories. The Warren Commission's report is almost 900 pages of scientific/forensic investigation and analysis based on concrete evidence, not some preposterous theory created out someone's imagination. Here we are 60 years later and there's still millions of people clinging to this idiocy instead of facing the harsh reality that Lee Harvey Oswald took out the President of the United States.
Nobody assassinated this man but one person. Lee Harvey Oswald. The first thing they did in this investigation was look for a conspiracy. Both men were hit by a single bullet. Just not the bullet they said it was. If you look at the film, you can see Connolly reacting to being shot when JFK was struck in the head. If you have ever been to Dealey Plaza, you’ll see how small the area is. If someone had fired a shot from behind that fence, he would have been seen and would have been caught.
@stddisclaimer8020,Groden was a hero.All Parkland doctors contradict your naive Warren BS. Only in America people would eventually believe that a lone wolf killed JFK with a magic athletic bullet and he 'd be murdered after 2 days by a loving presidential mobster.OMG,you are soooo naive.
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.
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.
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.
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.
You're correct, and I'm wondering when this information was released. It's vital. The doctors didn't know he was hit in the head as they were trying to cut his clothes away; he had faint pulse and breath.
The sun shines on a dog's ass every once in a while, and have you not enterDtained the idea that the bad guys allowed this video at the right time for reason?
I did not see this broadcast of Good Night America, but the following night Robert Groden was on the Mort Saul show and the Zapruder film was shown again and I did watch that. I was 15 and I was glued to the TV along with my dad. An interesting comparison - while Geraldo Rivera told the audience if they were at all squeamish not to watch it. Mort Saul did the opposite. He told his audience to get on the phone, call everyone they knew and to knock on their neighbor's doors because what he was about to show was so important everyone should see it.
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?

@@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.
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!
I'm so surprised that Geraldo was the one to break this story and show this crucial footage for the first time! Thank you Geraldo for your great journalism and giving such a concise breakdown of the footage that changed American history forever. i had no idea this happened on his show. 😮
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
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.
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 .
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.
"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
What an observation, spot on. As a 40 something Scotsman still in Scotland I firmly believe that we would have had a better world had he and his brother lived. Every video of President Kennedy speaking and engaging is a treasure. The world should have demanded the American government come clean as it impacted the whole word. Sad sad day
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.
I watch America's Untold Stories. They have almost 69 discussions on the Kennedy Assassination. They said there was a bullet hole in the windshield. The car was taken, cleaned and the windshield replaced.
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.
@@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!
@@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.
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?
@@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.
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!!!
I was 17 years old when this was broadcast and vividly remember the shock I experienced as my eyes were glued to what was being shown and then the unexpected graphic violence of the headshot. Since then, almost 50 years ago now, anytime I’ve seen the film I subtly glance away until that part is over.
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 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.
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 believe this is correct. People who don't understand ballistics would obviously see it as a shot to the front. The spray of blood is from an exit wound, not an entrance wound.
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!
@@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.
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?
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.
When I first saw the Zapruder film in 1975, it confirmed what I knew since I was about 9 years old.... I was home, sick with the flu in 1963, the day JFK was killed.... We had a black and white tv in the living room, Mom was ironing, and I was all bundled up on the couch sick...... I was 7 years old at the time... Dad started teaching me about firearms and shooting the summer before that, and about a year or so later, drawings and photos of the President's wounds were pretty much out there, and I couldn't ignore them really.... I knew, just from MY OWN experience (even tho very limited and of a short period of time) how a wound channel pretty much worked, like shooting melons, cantelope, tomatoes, rabbits, squirrels etc.... The explanations being given did not ad up in my 8.5 - 9 year old brain.... especially the massive area blown from the right rear of the skull.... I just KNEW that was caused by a frontal shot from his right front..... which means the grassy knoll.... The Zapruder film absolutely confirmed that to me.... His head reacted exactly as it should from a frontal right hit.... He was hit with a .221 Fireball round from a bolt action pistol.... The man's name is James Files... he's 82 years old living in Alabama....
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.
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.
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.
@@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.
Geraldo is a really fascinating human. Not only being the first program to air the Kennedy assassination but also that Al Capone vault debacle. He was also close friends with John Lennon and took part in Bed-ins woth Lennon and Yoko.
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
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
@@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.
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.
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.
Doug Horne, a member of the ARRB interviewed Dino Brugioni, who was employed by the CIA’s photo lab. He worked on the original version of the Z film the Saturday after the assassination . It was provided to him by the secret service. What the world saw when this aired was not it. You can still find the interview on this platform, for how long, who knows?
WS Gallagher Correct sir! The original Zapruder film would show the head shot for what it really was. There's a black smudge covering the exit wound.. It's very obvious once you know its there. The people that covered this up didn't do a particularly good job, but I also expect that they didn't expect the footage would have be scrutinised by so many for so long! The fact the film has been doctored tells us that the shot did not originate from the TSBD! They have always had problems explaining the "backwards and to the left" movement of the presidents head. Muscle Spasm?? 🤦🏼♂️😐 What a joke!
@@dougiegooner It's basic conservation of momentum actually, the spray from the exit wound can have more momentum than the bullet that caused it. If you Google "alvarez 1976 kennedy" you can find a famous physicist who explains it and also demonstrated the effect with a taped watermelon.
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
You can see the two spotters at 6:27. Both men were acting strangely. One walked out the curb and raised his hand high. The other raised an umbrella even though the weather was sunny. Both were diredtly adjacent to the Limo when Kennedy started taking hits. Afterwards, they sat down together whilst everyone else ran or dove for cover. The one with his hand in the air was photographed with some bulky piece of equipment under his shirt; likely a radio device. After a few seconds they bith stood up and walked away in different directions. They were spotters in plain sight. I believe the man with umbrella later came out and claimed he was making some physical protest -- something to do with Neville Chamberlain. If you believe that, and believe these two men just so happened to be behaving strangely right at the point of the shots being fired then there's no helping you.
It’s all a distraction! Watch the driver turn around a shoot with his left hand! He turns to his right and shoots with his left hand! It’s been right in front of our face the whole time!
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.
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
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
The average person had to wait 12 years to see this. Even in 2001 when on the spot knowledge through the internet was in its infancy we still saw those images and videos almost instantaneously. Can't even imagine having to wait until 2013 to see what actually happened. Pictures in the newspaper might have been upsetting but nowhere near the same impact.
@@4500KneeGrow So your telling me I can't have feelings about President Kennedy getting killed? Go f yourself snowflake.who the f are you to tell anyone how to feel? Go back China you Communist.
Our own government did this. You can even see the car come to almost a complete stop what gives the shooter even more precise accuracy. They were told not to hit Jackie. Unfortunately a lot was going on in the world the Bay of pigs, mob, CIA. I'm surprised we didn't have nuclear war back then. But we came close.
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.
Im sure you never did forget it !I remember seeing it while I was 13 and it was on something like dateline or one of those showes it is just one of those horrific imagase once seen it cant be unseen.The other was that famous vid of the suspected viet cong kid summarly executed at point blank range in the streets of Sigon during the vietnam war that was just about as graphic as it gets you can clearly see his brain matter exiting his head.

What was there to argue over?
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.

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 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.
@@clemsonbloke wrong, look bought to for 150k printed a few stills and sat on it. Gooden got it because he saw it while he sat on the committee and sued look for it as a matter of national interest.
Everyone is so measured and respectful - professional, courteous - life before our culture became what it is today.
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.
I've watched this video 3 times in the last few days. It's the most fascinating video I've ever watched.
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.
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!!!
His credibility took a huge hit with the 3 hour Al Capone's Vault fiasco.
The sound of the audience gasped gives me chills, soo terrifying

@@raymondmanderville505 Yes. I have seen these same things.
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.
Amazing to have Abe Lincoln reporting on JFK's murder, 13:05. There is no time.

@@bubbaballer88no Life magazine did
@@johnscanlon2598 That's right. Thanks!
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

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
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.
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.
@Std Disclaimer
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.
@Std Disclaimer
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.
Groden is an idiot as are all the fools who believe in these ridiculous, conspiracy theories. The Warren Commission's report is almost 900 pages of scientific/forensic investigation and analysis based on concrete evidence, not some preposterous theory created out someone's imagination. Here we are 60 years later and there's still millions of people clinging to this idiocy instead of facing the harsh reality that Lee Harvey Oswald took out the President of the United States.
Nobody assassinated this man but one person. Lee Harvey Oswald. The first thing they did in this investigation was look for a conspiracy. Both men were hit by a single bullet. Just not the bullet they said it was. If you look at the film, you can see Connolly reacting to being shot when JFK was struck in the head. If you have ever been to Dealey Plaza, you’ll see how small the area is. If someone had fired a shot from behind that fence, he would have been seen and would have been caught.
@stddisclaimer8020,Groden was a hero.All Parkland doctors contradict your naive Warren BS.
Only in America people would eventually believe that a lone wolf killed JFK with a magic athletic bullet and he 'd be murdered after 2 days by a loving presidential mobster.OMG,you are soooo naive.
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.
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.
It was unsettling to know that if someone can do this to a sitting presiden, imagine what they could do to you and me.
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.
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.
I wonder if he may have lived if he was not wearing the brace and WAS able to bend over. Maybe he wouldn't have been shot the 2nd time???? 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
You're correct, and I'm wondering when this information was released. It's vital. The doctors didn't know he was hit in the head as they were trying to cut his clothes away; he had faint pulse and breath.
Rest in peace Mr. Gregory.
He fasted for peace a role model for the world.

I did not see this broadcast of Good Night America, but the following night Robert Groden was on the Mort Saul show and the Zapruder film was shown again and I did watch that. I was 15 and I was glued to the TV along with my dad. An interesting comparison - while Geraldo Rivera told the audience if they were at all squeamish not to watch it. Mort Saul did the opposite. He told his audience to get on the phone, call everyone they knew and to knock on their neighbor's doors because what he was about to show was so important everyone should see it.
Pretty cool that Geraldo was able to book Abe Lincoln to give his opinion on this.

Me too. Wish somebody could present a counter point to argue how this is just a conspiracy theory despite the evidence presented here.

Me too
I begged my mom to stay up to watch this. I was 14 years old. I found it so spooky, but I remember it well. NYC
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.
When Geraldo had a conscience.
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 .
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.
"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
What an observation, spot on. As a 40 something Scotsman still in Scotland I firmly believe that we would have had a better world had he and his brother lived. Every video of President Kennedy speaking and engaging is a treasure. The world should have demanded the American government come clean as it impacted the whole word. Sad sad day

Freddy prince
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.
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………..
Seeing it enlarged makes me realize how lucky Jackie was to escape unharmed. She was inches away from him.
I watch America's Untold Stories. They have almost 69 discussions on the Kennedy Assassination. They said there was a bullet hole in the windshield. The car was taken, cleaned and the windshield replaced.
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.
Thank you Robert Groden , Dick Gregory, and Geraldo for showing this to America.
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.
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!!!
Agree!
I was 17 years old when this was broadcast and vividly remember the shock I experienced as my eyes were glued to what was being shown and then the unexpected graphic violence of the headshot. Since then, almost 50 years ago now, anytime I’ve seen the film I subtly glance away until that part is over.
Never look away.
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 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.
The front right is blown out, the exit from the shot which was to the rear.
I believe this is correct. People who don't understand ballistics would obviously see it as a shot to the front. The spray of blood is from an exit wound, not an entrance wound.
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
Geraldo has been breaking barriers and reporting stuff most people considered 'taboo' for decades!
I saw this live when I was 12....I had nightmares for weeks.
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.
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.

@@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
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 was 15 and stayed up late to watch this. It was shocking to watch for the first time ever!!
When I first saw the Zapruder film in 1975, it confirmed what I knew since I was about 9 years old.... I was home, sick with the flu in 1963, the day JFK was killed.... We had a black and white tv in the living room, Mom was ironing, and I was all bundled up on the couch sick...... I was 7 years old at the time... Dad started teaching me about firearms and shooting the summer before that, and about a year or so later, drawings and photos of the President's wounds were pretty much out there, and I couldn't ignore them really.... I knew, just from MY OWN experience (even tho very limited and of a short period of time) how a wound channel pretty much worked, like shooting melons, cantelope, tomatoes, rabbits, squirrels etc.... The explanations being given did not ad up in my 8.5 - 9 year old brain.... especially the massive area blown from the right rear of the skull.... I just KNEW that was caused by a frontal shot from his right front..... which means the grassy knoll.... The Zapruder film absolutely confirmed that to me.... His head reacted exactly as it should from a frontal right hit.... He was hit with a .221 Fireball round from a bolt action pistol.... The man's name is James Files... he's 82 years old living in Alabama....
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.
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.
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.
These guys didn’t realize how close they were to revealing the truth
Geraldo is a really fascinating human. Not only being the first program to air the Kennedy assassination but also that Al Capone vault debacle. He was also close friends with John Lennon and took part in Bed-ins woth Lennon and Yoko.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yes Virginia, Geraldo was once a very cool journalist who worked to keep people in power honest.
Doug Horne, a member of the ARRB interviewed Dino Brugioni, who was employed by the CIA’s photo lab. He worked on the original version of the Z film the Saturday after the assassination . It was provided to him by the secret service. What the world saw when this aired was not it. You can still find the interview on this platform, for how long, who knows?
WS Gallagher Correct sir! The original Zapruder film would show the head shot for what it really was. There's a black smudge covering the exit wound.. It's very obvious once you know its there. The people that covered this up didn't do a particularly good job, but I also expect that they didn't expect the footage would have be scrutinised by so many for so long!
The fact the film has been doctored tells us that the shot did not originate from the TSBD! They have always had problems explaining the "backwards and to the left" movement of the presidents head. Muscle Spasm?? 🤦🏼♂️😐 What a joke!
@@dougiegooner It's basic conservation of momentum actually, the spray from the exit wound can have more momentum than the bullet that caused it. If you Google "alvarez 1976 kennedy" you can find a famous physicist who explains it and also demonstrated the effect with a taped watermelon.
Man Geraldo Rivera really used to be that guy what happened
Like all the media and Hollywood, now someone has dirt on him.
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.
Only took 12 years. That's so commendable.
You can see the two spotters at 6:27. Both men were acting strangely. One walked out the curb and raised his hand high. The other raised an umbrella even though the weather was sunny. Both were diredtly adjacent to the Limo when Kennedy started taking hits. Afterwards, they sat down together whilst everyone else ran or dove for cover. The one with his hand in the air was photographed with some bulky piece of equipment under his shirt; likely a radio device. After a few seconds they bith stood up and walked away in different directions. They were spotters in plain sight. I believe the man with umbrella later came out and claimed he was making some physical protest -- something to do with Neville Chamberlain. If you believe that, and believe these two men just so happened to be behaving strangely right at the point of the shots being fired then there's no helping you.
Never noticed thst before, thank you. Very suspicious
Yeah that doesn't mean anything. You really think they would use spotters? They went through the line of fire... Duh
@@randyballweg6079 The guy looks like he is waving actually…James files shooter

No. He's born in American, but of Puerto Rican origin.
He sounds nothing like a british person im british so i know.
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.
Watched this live. Couldn't sleep a wink. Caused quite a stir next morning.

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
How in the hell did the "kill shot" not come from the front?
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
I was watching when this first aired, back when Geraldo was a respected journalist.
The average person had to wait 12 years to see this. Even in 2001 when on the spot knowledge through the internet was in its infancy we still saw those images and videos almost instantaneously. Can't even imagine having to wait until 2013 to see what actually happened. Pictures in the newspaper might have been upsetting but nowhere near the same impact.
