the thread began with bill cooper not being the author of the greer-did-it theory.
the first thing i ever read by cooper was him saying everything he had written about UFOs was wrong and there was a massive dinsinfo campaign going on. as i recall, he acquired his special copy of Z from a man in the UFO movement who was later basically outed as a CIA agent/infiltrator. cooper took his vhs copy on the road playing auditoria and got quite upset when viewers didnt think his film proved the theory.
it seems to me there would have been multiple versions of Z for different audiences manufactured in 63/64.
ss obviously did stand down and totally ignored their own practices in advance sweeps, in not closing windows, in allowing last minute changes to the parade route and in allowing it to go forward after the route was published in dallas papers. further, local military intelligence was not used, neither for security nor for background checks on potential local threats. fletcher prouty talked about all this back in his guns of dallas.
it's not far-fetched to consider the ss actually pulled the trigger for the kill-shot.
to me the question has always been, who changed the route, who stood the ss down, who told the local military commander intelligence wouldn't be needed?
the sources for the orders have been called "white house staff" or "the white house." to me, that means lyndon johnson took care of setting the stage.
what is jackie doing crawling on the trunk of the continental? presumably this was after the pit stop was edited out of the Z. it's the only part of the film that looks untampered with, you can see her arm reflected in the dark chasis and the movements seem real. she says she doesn't remember. years ago the story was she had gone crazy and thought she could replace a piece of jfk's skull. her testimony later was that she hadn't seen jfk's head explode, so she wouldn't be looking for body parts. the ss agent gets her back in the backseat but doesnt make her keep her head down as they speed into the underpass past what appears to be a white private automobile, although the entire street was closed to traffic.
don't believe what you see, and only half of what you read, i guess.
