Muchmore: Brake Lights On?

[Albert Rossi]

the Assassination film in the Archive does NOT have 0183 on it. PERIOD. There is simply no way to connect the in camera original to the first day copies since the "original" in the Archives does not match the supposed first day copies...
(this again ihas to be THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT PIECE OF EVIDENCE supporting alteration. Without 0183 on the extant original film... that it matches what we see on the COPIES is once again not evidence that what we see was what was developed IN TOTAL from that camera.)

So I imagine you've read Horne. He hammers on this point too.

2 theories:

1 - the IS area was added in - either when altered or at some later date,
2 - MY THEORY is that a section of the film, from about 133-385, was filmed at 48fps. That the splice after the 6'3" and 2'7" sections of the assassiantion footage is followed by 19 feet of BLACK film which is PHYSICALLY CONNECTED to the original film via a splice. Why splice after the assassination only to add back 19 feet of Black film other than to support the story that "the rest of the film was run off".... The math is pretty straight forward as well:

The slow-motion/excision explanation to me has always seemed capable of explaining a good deal of the oddities in the film. I know intuitive impressions are worth less than a dime a dozen, but when I watch the film it just seems like it was filmed in slow motion even when it is shown at 18fps. There have been a number of attempts to refute the idea that Zapruder was filming at 48fps. I am not qualified to judge. But I agree that if there was frame removal, this is the path of least resistance to not revealing the removals, since the disjunctions in the main frame, but especially in the interlocking IS images caused by the non-sequential adjacency would be much less noticeable. Adding back all the IS after the fact seems like a Herculean effort to me, non-initiate that I am.

Finally, I believe it was Muchmore who tells us she did not film the limo as she moved from her original position toward the GK.. so who knows whether that sequence is from her or not....

Aren't there chain of possession issues on all the films from Dealey that day?

Thanks, David, for your usual trenchant and detailed analysis.
