The only major problem is that you only have an agreed and uncontestable time for a single shot... between Z-312 and Z-313.

We all agree on Z312/313. John Connally makes TWO of the quickest movements in the Zapruder film, the first was 4.8 seconds BEFORE JFK's head shot and the second one was 0.7 seconds AFTER the JFK head shot.

We all know that the audio evidence analysis showed that one of the shots was fired from the grassy knoll with a probability of 95% (or better). Anyone who has looked at the Zapruder film of the JFK head shot thinks that JFK was shot in the head from the right front because he recoils back and to the left, directly away from the grassy knoll. Therefore, it makes sense to align shot #4 with Z312/313, the JFK head shot.

So what happened 4.8 seconds BEFORE JFK's head shot? (313-224)/18.3=4.8 seconds


We can see that Connally's jacket moves toward his tie between frames 223 and 224, something likely happened then

By frame 228, (4/18.3) seconds later (about 1/4th of a second) from Connally's first movement, he has snapped his head RAPIDLY TO LOOK TOWARD HIS LEFT.

IT IS OF COURSE REASONABLE TO ASSUME THAT CONNALLY IS REACTING TO A GUNSHOT FIRED ABOUT 4.8 SECONDS BEFORE JFK'S HEAD SHOT


What happened 0.7 seconds AFTER JFK's head shot?



These two frames are Z324 and Z327. Connally's head snaps RAPIDLY downward and it is likely something happened between those two frames (which is 0.7 seconds AFTER JFK's head shot). IT IS OF COURSE REASONABLE TO ASSUME THIS MOVEMENT STARTING AT Z325 IS A REACTION TO A GUNSHOT.




There are no other agreed locations for a shot.
This makes matching the audio to the video quite impossible.

As you can see, nobody has to agree with me for the locations of shots in the Zapruder film/acoustical evidence. Just looking at the Z film and listening to the government's version has hidden the fact Connally was shot 2 different times. Now you MIGHT be able to see:
1. Accoustical analysis shows shot #4 was fired from the grassy knoll, it only makes sense to align that shot with the JFK head shot
2. 0.7 seconds after shot #4, shot #5 was fired (from behind), it missed JFK's head and hit Connally in his back, bending him over violently forward just as he said happened
3. Because Connally reacted to a shot 4.8 seconds BEFORE JFK's head shot, it is likely that not all of Connally's wounds were caused by ONE BULLET.

The audio data stands quite well enough on it's own. But the extant Zapruder film has holes a truck could drive through.

The time between shots in the acoustical evidence matching major events in the Zapruder film PROVES the forgers of the Zapruder film changed what we see but they did not SIGNIFICANTLY change the timing of the major events. For example, Dino Brugioni when interviewed by Doug Horne said he saw several head shot splatter frames but we only see ONE now. That is reliable source which is good enough for me to say that some frames were removed when the Z film was altered to hide what we see. At that time, there was no reason to change the timing of the major events shown in the Z film.

If at this point you argue the Z film has incorrect event timing and the acoustical evidence was faulty as the sounds of the gunshots were NOT recorded, then you have to believe that the audio experts just happened to match the Z film by guessing. Obviously, the only reasonable conclusion is the sounds of the shots were recorded and the Zapruder film forgers did NOT significantly change the timing of the film.

(I enjoyed your post, however!)

The point of posting is not to entertain but for me to get the satisfaction when some of you have the light bulb in your head light up and say, oh my gosh, it really is simple. But you need to know a lot more before all of this fits together. The timing of the last 3 shots matching the timing of what we see in the Z film is just a start, there is so much more to know before all of it fits together.
