New JFK Footage
New footage has been discovered of President John F. Kennedy and his motorcade right before his assassination took place.
It is believed that the video was taken about 90 seconds before the assassination.
George Jefferies, 82, shot the footage and then put it in his drawer for over 40 years. He mentioned it in a conversation with his son-in-law. He then decided to donate the footage to a museum.

How could you not mention the video for 40 years?!?!

convenient amnesia
just one of those things they expect you to assume
You got me.
There is nothing that I can’t mention within five minutes !!
Participation in the assassination.
But that shows that there are other people that have footages of the killing.
It does seem odd…but some people will keep things like this under wraps and convince themselves that no one would think it mattered. Not everyone is wired to seek out the spotlight, and there are plenty of people who try to avoid it as much as possible. You don’t hear about them much for obvious reasons.
very srange
Maybe he didn’t want to talk about it. It was a traumatic day and event.
fear? ppl are very strange things. anything and everything scares us. even if we’re familiar with it.
sadness
You whack something in the closet, and you’ll forget anything eventually.
’nuff said…
Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.
I think I wouldn’t really wanna talk about. That footage would freak me out.
Technicolor.
90 seconds before the assassination, who gives a shit?
hahaha that old man is my hero.
I think he probably didn’t want to get involved and have the FBI all over him. Wouldn’t it be scary to have that kind of footage in your possession and know it could pull you into the quagmire?
too scared
Weird.
Greed…
He shoulda sold it.
Hmmmm…
I would have probably given it to like a detective agency to see if they saw anything on the video that would help lead to who shot him.
Or I probably would have forgotten about it because ZOMG THE PREZ JUST GOT SHOT! MASS HYSTERIA!!!!!!
It’s not all that unusual.
He probably convined himself that it wasn’t important.
wow..that does surprise me. I don’t think I could’ve kept a secret like that.
*HUGS*
Maybe he was afraid it would get confiscated like the Zapruder film.
What the hell.
Hmmmmmmm ????
but it’s only a vid of them in the car..
Not sure… maybe just kinda… forgot. lol
Idk. Weird sense of ownership.
Or he could have just forgotten about it. And then didn’t want to say anything.
dan did you get my message?
he probably thought there was no point-it had been done to death (no pun intended). He probably assumed he had/saw what everone else did. why bother?
by not saying anything….
That’s bizarre, but not quite as CRAZY as Britney Spears. Though the two are not really comparable, lol. I find it extremely odd that this footage was kept secret for so long?!!?!?
He was probably afraid of either the communists or the democrats. Oh wait, they’re the same. Seriously, look up democrat, socialist, and communist in the dictionary and they are all almost exactly the same. That’s not the point . . . Oh well.
Maybe they forgot.
I saw this footage on a Discovery program .. it proves that two shots, not one, hit the President, and one shot went through his throat, and into John Connelly. The trigectory of these bullets came from ( according to forensic studies ) the same building we have all seen .. the book depository, where the killer had set up his weapon, a was waiting. I still believe Lee Harvey Oswald was alone in his quest.
I can’t justify why this gentleman did not come forward sooner, nor do I have any judgements about him. Time discovers ….
I would be far more curious as to Jack Ruby’s motives. I can recall that people cheered when Ruby shot Oswald.
closets hold many secrets O_o
I dunno
He wanted to forget, forgot, then remembered.
He didnt think it was that important.
The goverment has had it the whole time and made up this story when it leaked.
There are numorous possibilities
Derek
Hiding the truth.. ?.?
he was prb afraid that it would be some sort of conspericy and that the supposed killers would go after him
…Old people are crazy. Maybe he just didn’t realize the impact and phenomena of it.
I was just reading about that… interesting
Jackie Kennedy was the ultimate woman. Audrey Hepburn/Grace kelly, close seconds.
come on!!! this is one of america’s greatest conspiracies! how could you keep that hidden??
why? all i can wonder is why?
i’m suddenly in a bad mood
to let the shock die away first
LD?
i live like… 15 minutes away from the place he died… or shot really. actually. more like 5-10 min.
It was a very traumatic thing, especially if he witnessed it. Maybe he just didn’t want to talk about it and blocked it out or something. Now that he’s at the end of his life, he may have decided he needed to do something with it.
*sniff, sniff* Something smells funny to me here, and I’m not laughing. But the guy who “found” the video after 40 years probably is.
Next time you witness something that completely changes society in a country, and you’re scared your footage could be taken in the wrong way, ask this again.
Because you assisted the gunmen on the grassy knoll?
joke
Maybe he had a reason for not mentioning it
I dunno – 40 years is a long time to put something away and not see it again.
It was a very painful time. I remember it, actually. No one wanted to talk about it; the whole nation was in mourning. I would imagine it was just too painful to think about.
Maybe he knew something.
I know…it sounded fishy to me too. Anyone these days, and even back then, knows how priceless these pictures are. It makes me wonder what else someone is holding on to?
One of the greatest conspiracies of our time.
Wow…that’s pretty interesting…I can’t wait for when they release all that information about the assassination.
