[570] <strong>Final</strong> <strong>Judgment</strong> 666<br />

outrageous libel and slander of Greer. I'm told that Greer was absolutely<br />

devastated by the president's assassination and blamed himself for not<br />

getting the president's limousine out of line in time to prevent JFK from<br />

being killed. In fact, Greer was probably somewhat to blame for the death of<br />

the president since his reaction time was slow, to say the very least, and there<br />

would have been perhaps enough time to get the car out of the line of fire. But<br />

who am I to speculate?<br />

Be that as it may, what one sees on the Zapruder film (which I have<br />

seen in various renditions) is not—I repeat NOT—William Greer or his<br />

fellow Secret Service agent, Roy Kellerman (who was riding in the right-front<br />

passenger seat of the Kennedy limousine) turning around and firing a pistol<br />

at the president.<br />

Consider this for a moment: if indeed Greer had done that he was<br />

putting himself in the position of being seen by several hundred spectators,<br />

including quite a few who were standing within some twenty feet of the<br />

limousine. Secondly, Greer was being photographed by more than a handful<br />

of people at the time. It's inevitable that at least one of the witnesses on the<br />

scene would have indeed witnessed Greer doing this.<br />

If Greer had done this, he would also have been witnessed so doing by<br />

Governor and Mrs. John Connally who were less than two feet from him<br />

and literally looking into his face. They would have practically been in the<br />

line of fire if Greer had fired the fatal head shot. And they most definitely<br />

were not looking at the president at the time his head exploded.<br />

I have seen the rendition of the Zapruder film by the promoter of this<br />

theory. I have seen the flash of light that appears to be a pistol and I can<br />

understand how somebody viewing the film would believe that they are<br />

seeing what they are told they are seeing. However, it is a flash of light. It is<br />

evident that Mr. Greer is turning and looking at the president just before the<br />

fatal shot, but you are most definitely not seeing him shoot the president.<br />

Bear in mind that the Zapruder film is not a good quality film to begin<br />

with. It's shot at an oblique angle; it's shot hurriedly with a very shaky hand<br />

and there's a lot of motion on the film itself. However, the film does not<br />

portray Greer shooting Kennedy.<br />

I saw the film years ago and I've seen substantially enhanced versions,<br />

both with and without the narration and graphics that have been added by<br />

the person promoting this theory. And it's very clear that what you are<br />

really seeing is a flash of light. It is the sun reflecting on the crewcut hair of<br />

the Secret Service agent, Mr. Kellerman. It is not Greer firing a weapon. I<br />

tested this theory myself using substantially-enlarged frames from the<br />

Zapruder film and it is very clear, if you hold these frames juxtaposed<br />

against the film that this is really what you are seeing: a reflection of light<br />

on the agent's head.<br />

However, when someone is looking at the film and hearing an audio<br />

narration, accompanied by a circle graphic around the "gun," it would<br />

appear to be just what the narration says it is: Greer firing a gun. But I rush<br />

to assure you that it is not the case.
