by. A man, whom he later
identified as Abraham Zapruder, was standing on a concrete pedestal
behind and to his right taking moving camera pictures. He explained
how he opened this devilish same umbrella and held it high above
his head causing Mr. Kennedy to turn his head and look directly at
him. At that exact moment in time, the shooter on the roof of a
building fired a powerful weapon. The projectile missed.
Anhur continued, “This
weapon’s violent noise caused the government agent guarding your
man Kennedy to jump on the rear of the black motor vehicle just as
the assassin fired his weapon again. This second projectile struck
the government man in the back and wounded the President and your
state of Texas’s man Mr. Connally.
“ Almost at the same time,
another person located on the grassy area back behind the sidewalk
where I stood fired a large hand weapon. This projectile smashed
into the side of the President’s head, causing considerable injury,
but was not fatal. The shooter in the building fired once again,
but it was too far a distance, and the aim of the old military
weapon was faulty, he hit nothing. Again, that was my first attempt
at interfering in your world’s destiny and, obviously, I was not
particularly adept at it.”
“ Okay Anhur, let me see if
I understand... you opened your umbrella causing President John
Kennedy to turn his head to his right and look at you; next the
turning of his head caused the first shooter to miss. After that,
the gunman on the sixth floor fired the second shot and wounded the
Secret Service agent, the President and Governor Connally. Then a
shooter with a handgun fired from the Grassy Knoll a third shot,
which hit the side of President Kennedy’s head. Finally, the
assassin on the sixth floor fired the forth shot, missing his
target entirely. Is this the way it happened?”
“ Yes, that is the way I
believe the firing of your world’s primitive weapons at your
president happened, and the opening of my umbrella did cause your
President to turn his head, but the turning of his head was not
what caused the first shot to miss.”
“ Okay, I just have one
question - the first shot - what did it hit?”
“ It was the key to the
whole shooting attempt - when the assassin fired, the noise of the
first explosion caused the government man, who was guarding your
President, to jump on the back of the black vehicle, which put him
in the direct line of the projectile of the second man in
window.”
“ I’m following all this,
but what happened to the first gunman’s bullet?”
“ It hit a
pigeon!”
“ What? Did I hear you
correctly Anhur – the bullet hit a PIGEON?”
“ You are correct - I
cannot lie, we are not allowed to make these things up. Lying is
forbidden also!”
“ Okay... okay... all
right,” said the Captain. “If he shot a pigeon what happened to the
pigeon, it should have fallen from the sky onto the
street.”
“ It fell, not in the
street, but into the grassy park like area south of Elm Street. The
place you refer to as Dealy Plaza.”
“ You mean to tell me no
one saw a dead pigeon just suddenly fall out of the
sky?”
“ Oh yes, many people saw
the pigeon falling to the ground but the pigeon was not killed -
only wounded. Witnesses thought the pigeon just landed in the
grass.”
“ Okay, so the actual
turning of the President’s head did not cause the shot to miss,
right? You’re thinking your umbrella dance resulted in President
Kennedy to only receive wounds, right?”
“ Yes you are correct
Captain. Head turning did not cause the first shot to miss. The
first shot hit the pigeon. Whether this was due to my action, is
still not clear. At least at my trial, on Sunev, leaders were not
sure either, but they believed, and so do I that the President
turning his head caused the shooter in the bushes to hit only a
glancing shot to his head.
