An Incriminating Omission from Those Long-Secret JFK Records

With President Trump’s decision to dash the CIA’s hope of keeping its JFK records secret forever, virtually all of the focus has been, naturally enough, on the various small pieces of evidence that further fill out the mosaic of the U.S. national-security regime-change operation that took place on November 22, 1963.

But there is something else to consider — what those long-secret records do not include — a critically important omission that points directly toward criminal culpability in the assassination itself.

The omission? Those long-secret records fail to include any records relating to the CIA’s handling of the famous Zapruder film on the very weekend of the assassination. Those records are still secret. The CIA isn’t letting anyone see them — and understandably so, given that they constitute virtually conclusive circumstantial evidence of criminal culpability.

Keep in mind that in every court of the land, judges instruct juries that circumstantial evidence is just as valid as direct evidence.

An example of direct versus circumstantial evidence: An eyewitness testifies that he saw it raining the previous night. That’s direct evidence. Another witness testifies that when he woke up the next morning, the streets were flooding and everyone was carrying umbrellas. That’s circumstantial evidence that it rained the previous night. Both pieces of evidence are equally valid.

The Zapruder film is a film that Dallas businessman Abraham Zapruder took of the Kennedy assassination. As such, everyone would agree that the Zapruder film is most definitely an assassination record.

The JFK Records Act required the CIA (and all other federal agencies) to deliver all of its assassination-related records to the Assassination Records Review Board in the 1990s. The Act permitted some records to be kept secret for 25 years. When those 25 years came due, however, the CIA refused to release the records it had kept secret. That’s what Trump brought to an end.

But as we can now see from the release of that long-secret stash of assassination-related records that the CIA was bound and determined to keep secret into perpetuity, the CIA knowingly, intentionally, and deliberately withheld all of its records relating to its handling of the Zapruder film. It continues to do so to this day.

Why is that? Why the continued secrecy with respect to what everyone agrees was an assassination record? The answer lies in my book An Encounter with Evil: The Abraham Zapruder Story, a book that now becomes more relevant than ever, given the CIA’s steadfast determination to keep its Zapruder records secret.

As I detail in my book, in 2009 one of the world’s most renowned photography analysts, a CIA official named Dino Brugioni, revealed for the first time that on the evening of November 23, 1963 — the day after JFK was murdered — he was summoned to the CIA’s National Photographic Center in Washington, D.C., where he worked. Two Secret Service agents delivered to him the original 8mm film that Abraham Zapruder had taken of the JFK assassination.

Brugioni and his team and the Secret Service agents watched the film several times. The Secret Service agents selected certain frames that they wanted copied, blown up, and posted on what were called “briefing boards.” Brugioni had his own unique method of preparing briefing boards.

Brugioni and his team were sworn to secrecy. They understood that this was a top-secret, classified operation. Brugioni kept his secret for some 45 years and then in 2009 decided to share it with noted assassination researchers Douglas Horne and Peter Janney.

I have often wondered why Brugioni decided to do that. He never indicated that the CIA had released him from his vow of secrecy, and it is a virtual certainly that it hadn’t done so. He had to know that they could have come after him with all guns blaring for violating his oath of secrecy, which they have done in similar circumstances against other former CIA officials.

But I think he also knew that they would never do that, not only because of his fame and prestige but also because it would necessarily draw attention in the mainstream press to the CIA’s role with respect to the Zapruder film, which is the last thing they would have wanted.

I also wonder whether Brugioni had come to believe that the CIA had, in fact, played a role in the assassination and was, in essence, clearing his conscience for having been manipulated into unwittingly playing a role in the cover-up that followed the assassination.

It’s worth reminding ourselves of Brugioni’s renown and prestige. From Wikipedia: “Dino Antonio Brugioni was an American intelligence analyst. He was a senior official at the CIA’s National Photographic Interpretation Center (NPIC), working as an imagery analyst and also serving as NPIC’s Chief of Information. During his 35-year career, Brugioni helped establish imagery intelligence (IMINT) as a national asset to solve intelligence problems. Even after retirement, Brugioni was considered to be the world’s foremost imagery intelligence analyst. After retirement, he was active in encouraging the use of declassified photographic intelligence for historical research. His book, Eyeball to Eyeball is an extensive unclassified history of US imagery intelligence.”

Those two Secret Service agents then left NPIC and took the film with them. The next evening, Sunday, a totally separate CIA photography team was summoned to NPIC. A Secret Service agent named Bill Smith delivered to them what was purported to be the original Zapruder film.

But it couldn’t have been the original Zapruder film because it was in a 16mm format. It is impossible to convert an 8mm film into a 16mm film. Therefore, the 16mm film that Bill Smith delivered to the Sunday night NPIC team had to be a copy of the original 8mm film that Brugioni worked with on Saturday night.

In other words, while it was impossible to convert the original 8mm film to a 16mm film, it was entirely possible to create a 16mm copy of the original 8mm film. Equally important, it was possible to alter the 16mm copy by altering and deleting frames, which is precisely what happened.

Bill Smith told the Sunday night team that he had brought the 16mm film from Hawkeyeworks, which was a top-secret, state-of-the art CIA photography operation secretly located in the middle of Eastman-Kodak’s research and development center at its national headquarters in Rochester, New York. (There is no evidence that Kodak was part of the CIA’s operation with the Zapruder film at Hawkeyeworks.)

Not surprisingly, Brugioni had previously visited Hawkeyeworks. He stated that they could “do anything” at Hawkeyeworks. In other words, anything that Hollywood could do with film in California, the CIA could do with film at Hawkeyeworks.

What was the purpose of bringing the 16mm copy of the Zapruder film to the Sunday night NPIC team? It was the same purpose as that of the Saturday night team — to take copies of selected frames and post them on briefing boards. humanN SuperBeets Soft...

So, why not simply bring Brugioni’s team back on Sunday night to prepare additional briefing boards? Because Brugioni would obviously know that he was dealing with a copy on Sunday night. Whoever was orchestrating this operation clearly did not want Brugioni and his team to know what was going on. In fact, the Sunday night team, just like the Saturday night team, was sworn to secrecy. Thus, the Saturday night team didn’t know about the Sunday night team, and the Sunday night team didn’t know about the Saturday night team. It was a totally compartmentalized secret operation, which strongly suggests that whoever was orchestrating this entire operation was up to no good.

As an aside, I made a point in my book that is worth considering. Given the top-secret nature of this entire operation and its obvious importance, it is a virtual certainty that the Secret Service agents who brought the original 8mm Zapruder film to Brugioni on Saturday night and the Secret Service agent named Bill Smith on Sunday night were actually CIA officials operating under cover as Secret Service agents. The reason I say this is because I don’t think the CIA would have ever jeopardized the top-secret nature of what was occurring here by sharing it with agents of the Secret Service.

The Sunday night 16mm film was later slit down the middle and thereby converted to a 8mm film. It became the new original. It’s what people today call the “original” Zapruder film. The real original was disappeared.

When Dino Brugioni was shown the extant film in 2009, he made it clear that it was not the same film that he saw on Saturday night. In particular, the singular frame that shows Kennedy getting hit in the head was totally different from the multiple frames of the head shot that Brugioni stated he saw on Saturday night.

Moreover, when shown the Sunday night briefing boards that are in the official record, Brugioni categorically stated that they were not the briefing boards that he prepared. Specifically, they were not prepared in the unique style that Brugioni employed when he prepared briefing boards.

Where are Brugioni’s Saturday night briefing boards? They were made to disappear. The CIA has still provided no explanation as to their disappearance.

It is a virtual certainly that the CIA maintained detailed records relating to how the original Zapruder film got to be transported to NPIC on Saturday, the Saturday night operation at NPIC, how the film got transported to the CIA’s top-secret Hawkeyeworks operation in Rochester, what precisely it did with the film at Hawkeyworks, how the film got transported from Hawkeyeworks to NPIC on Sunday, and then the Sunday night operation at NPIC. That’s assuming, of course, that the CIA didn’t destroy all those records, as is its custom when committing criminal offenses. Life Extension Neuro-M...

There is no question but that all of those CIA records relating to the Zapruder film are assassination-related. So, why did the CIA intentionally, knowingly, and deliberately withhold those records in direct violation of the JFK Records Act? There can be only one reason: Criminal culpability in the production of an altered, fraudulent 16mm copy of the original 8mm Zapruder film.

What is that important? Because there is no innocent explanation for the production of a fraudulent film, just as there is no innocent explanation for the fraudulent autopsy that the military conducted on President Kennedy’s body on the evening of the assassination. (See my book The Kennedy Autopsy.) Both the fraudulent film and the fraudulent autopsy equate to a criminal cover-up of the national-security establishment’s regime-change assassination of President Kennedy.
