John F Kennedy- New Video Before The Assassination.

The world still vividly remembers John F Kennedy, the most ever charismatic president of the USA . Perhaps no other president of this country could influence the people , both inside and outside the country, like he did.
A silent 8 mm new home movie, which was donated by an amateur photographer, George Jefferies has recently been released by the Dallas Museum.The film depicts President Kennedy and the first lady Jacqueline Kennedy moving in the motorcade on the Main street at Lamar on the fateful day of November 22 1963, seconds before the assassination.

Kennedy film, believe it...or not?

I concur Wonderer - I'm skeptical of this video as well. However, I would want a little more information before I ruled it out. This article doesn't mention where Mr. Jeffries is from. If he was from Dallas and he was standing there as the President passed, he may have heard a shot from the depository, and that was why he turned his camera back on to film the building and the door??? How did the museum come by this film? Who did they acquire it from? Was this person able to furnish them with any information, or explain why the building was filmed too? If Mr. Jeffries was from out of town, or from another part of the country, he may have found the building, and the name over the door unusual. I mean, I don't recall ever seeing a "Washington School Book Depository" or a "Louisiana School Book Depository". Perhaps that's what prompted him to film the building...that IS an unusual name for a "library". I think I've seen just about every picture or video that was ever released of that day, and saw all of them numerous times. Yet, I don't recall ever seeing this film, from that spot, at that angle, etc. One does have to wonder why it never surfaced before now. Maybe someone "put it together" and timed it's release to incite the interest of the public again? Publicity for an upcoming event? Perhaps Mr. Jeffries just 'didn't want to get involved' back then for fear of his life, or his family's life. I doubt we will ever know the whole truth. :) But then again if you aren't on the conspiracy theory side, you already know the truth. Interesting nevertheless... Dragonfly Xomba Moderator

Cut and Paste

I hope the Dallas museum didn't pay for this. The poster on YouTube says it was recently discovered, which is a little strange considering the assassination has been the subject of conspiracy theories, documentaries and special commissions for 44 years. It seems that it should have rung a bell for somebody close to Mr. Jefferies, about 40 years ago, that the film was sitting in somebody's closet or trunk. It wasn't exactly an everyday event to witness or be near a presidential assassination. It's also a little odd that by incredible coincidence, the film includes a shot of the book depository building and then the front entrance of the building, with the name of the building above it. Maybe whoever submitted it to the museum just has a life full of lucky coincidences, like winning the lottery two weeks in a row and getting a royal straight flush every time he plays poker, but I'm skeptical. http://www.xomba.com/user/thewonderer
