On November 22, 2013, it will be 50 years since the assassination of President Kennedy, here is clue, Zapruder was the spotter or did you see the [sign.](https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&docid=IJ8xS3SQwRSlUM&tbnid=Zfmk_KfU4IuHWM:&ved=0CAUQjRw&url=http%3A%2F%2Fhome.roadrunner.com%2F~markwrede%2FNonFic%2FPerennialMystery.html&ei=2WQ5Uti0JKbD2AWm1YEI&bvm=bv.52288139,d.b2I&psig=AFQjCNEcsMqeX7zPiRyR0yD_upm7naEmeA&ust=1379578839173406) Like Zapruder said, if you listen with your right ear the shot was driven down the street. The assassination photos of Robert Kennedy might help you tie together where the first “shot” came from. Anyway, God Bless you Mr. President, RIP \ Pooter, I’ve edited your title to make the content plainer for those who don’t connect the date. \ ---

The shot was driven down the street? I thought it was fired out of a rifle or something. Turns out JFK was just trying to give a poor Italian bullet a ride and look what happened! ---

> [@Shodan](#): > > I don’t know what this means. Zapruder was the “spotter”? The spotter of what? Zapruder was the “spotter”; that is, the member of a sniper team who assists in the observation of targets. Don’t you see? **Pooter** has identified Zapruder as _part of the conspiracy_! This is brilliant, ground-breaking stuff! Only one question remains . . . who put him up to it? ---
