I’m Headed to PorcFest!
I’m headed to PorcFest, the annual libertarian festival in Lancaster, New Hampshire, where I will be giving a presentation entitled, “The JFK Assassination: A Fraudulent Autopsy and a Fraudulent Film.” The festival starts today, June 17. My talk will be on Wednesday, June 19, at 3 p.m. in the Pavilion.

I have spoken at PorcFest many times in the past. It will be great to return and share my perspectives with the PorcFest crowd. It is my understanding that they sold out last year. I imagine that the same could be true this year.
My talk will revolve around my two books The Kennedy Autopsy and An Encounter with Evil: The Abraham Zapruder Story. I’ll have several copies of An Encounter with Evil for sale at a super-discounted price.
As I detail in The Kennedy Autopsy, on Friday night, November 22, 1963, the U.S. military conducted a fraudulent autopsy on the body of President Kennedy. Keep in mind that the military had no jurisdiction whatsoever to conduct this autopsy. Neither did anyone else in the federal government. That’s because at that time, the assassination of a U.S. president was not a federal offense. It was a murder case under state law. There is one reason that the military took control over JFK’s body — to assist in the cover-up of the national-security establishment’s assassination of the president by conducting a fraudulent autopsy on the very evening of the assassination.
The following night, Saturday night, November 23, 1963, the CIA played its role in the assassination cover-up. That was when the famous Zapruder film of the assassination, in a top-secret operation, was delivered to the CIA’s National Photographic Interpretation Center (NPIC) in Washington, D.C. The operation was so secret that it wasn’t discovered until the late 2000s, when world-renowned CIA photo analyst Dino Brugiioni revealed that he received the original 8mm Zapruder film on that Saturday night. Brugioni was assigned the task of making blow-ups of selected frames of the film and posting them on “briefing boards.”
In the wee hours of Sunday morning, November 24, the film was taken to a top-secret CIA operation in Rochester, New York, secretly named “Hawkeyeworks,” where, according to Brugioni, the CIA could “do anything” with film. At that facility, CIA film experts used what was called an “optical printer” to produce an altered, fraudulent 16mm copy of the film. That 16mm copy was then brought back to NPIC on Sunday night, where, in a top-secret compartmentalized operation, another CIA team (different from Brugioni’s Saturday night team), made blow-ups of selected frames of the altered copy of the film to post on a completely different set of briefing boards. That altered copy of the Zapruder film became the new “original’ of the film, the one that now sits in the National Archives.
As I detail in An Encounter with Evil, when Brugioni was shown a copy of the extant Zapruder film in the late 2000s, he stated that it was not the same film that he saw on that Saturday evening back in November of 1963. He stated, for example, that the famous gunshot that hit Kennedy in the head consisted of more than just the one frame that is depicted in the extant film and that those frames showed an entirely different head explosion than is depicted in the extant film.
Moreover, when Brugioni was shown a photograph of the Sunday night briefing boards, he stated that those were not the briefing boards that he prepared on Saturday night. He stated that his briefing boards were entirely different. He also stated that even though he was second in charge at NPIC and even though he was the duty officer in charge that weekend, the Sunday night operation was kept secret from him. In fact, he didn’t discover the Sunday night operation until the late 2000s.
It’s also worth pointing out that a 8mm film cannot be converted into a 16mm film. Therefore, the 16mm film that was taken to NPIC on Sunday night necessarily had to be a copy, not the original 8mm Zapruder fi
