Fishermen are braggarts.
Hunters are braggarts. It’s not
too far fetched to speculate that the person who shot John Kennedy was the
same. He was hunting too. Taxidermy is a big business here in the Ozarks
where the biggest bucks are displayed at the local farm supply outfit. When I checked in to Hq. Co. 24th Marines in
Kansas City after boot camp, there, above the colonel’s desk, was a framed VC scalp.
Professional killers collect it all: hair, noses, and ears. I remember seeing three shrunken heads in the
Kansas City museum when I was a kid. I
suggest in the killing of John Kennedy there is something the TV specials and
all the experts have overlooked – intentionally or not. It’s something very basic to the nature of
man and I’m surprised of all the silly and far-out JFK conspiracy theories no
one has mentioned a logical extension of how killers behave and what their
peculiar mindset suggests.
The Abraham Zapruder film proved to me a front shooter was
involved and I wrote a piece about the “front sniper’s nest” which became my
most popular post on Ray N. Cherry Blog. Putting aside the influence of the mob, UFOs,
Castro, the Russians, (ad infinitum), could there be new evidence consistent
with the nature of man? Is there a
second undiscovered “Zapruder” film? I
specifically mean a trophy film of the assassination shot by the assassins. Why hasn’t even the possibility of one
existing ever been considered? “Gee
boss, if we’re going to go to all that trouble, can I at least have a memento
of shooting Kennedy?”
I guess the answer lies in convenient operation and the
brazenness of the assassination itself.
A barrel mount camera would be a simple procedure. The Signal Corps used to do that sort of
filming all the time during WWII.
Filming the grassy knoll by the book depository could have been easily
done from the windows or roof tops of the near-by buildings. Because there was a conspiracy in the
assassination of John Kennedy, the logistics of filming the event aren’t
difficult. A tourist could have filmed
it on the ground. Again, I speculate
that the operational philosophy might have been: “You might as well be hung as
a ram as a lamb.” Do it! Zapruder II, to be shown in the twilight
years of the assassins, would give them their life’s trophy mount. If it was taken out of the hands of the
assassins by the Agency we’ll never know except for the primal nature of man
which suggests Zapruder II does exist.
