Hans Remembers- Sunday August 30, 1970- 50 Years Ago.

- Sometimes the ordinary obscure person is involved an event that they will be remembered by the world forever for- on November 22, 1963 that happened to a Russian-Ukrainian born-American clothing manufacturer with a home movie camera. Abraham Zapruder was his name- at the time he was in his mid-50’s and happened to take his camera out on Dealey Plaza in Dallas to capture President John Kennedy passing by in a motorcade through town. What he captured on film was JFK’s assassination. Is there a more famous piece of film? On this day in 1970 Zapruder died at the age of 65 years old.

- The Isle of Wight Festival ended after three days of performances before a crowd that reached 250,000 fans most of whom were able to get in without paying or watched from a hillside. The event- the 3rd and last Isle of Wight Festival was marred by drug arrests, minor riots and financial losses for the producers- Fiery Creations, Ltd. Looking at that photo above no way could I have been in that kind of a crowd- too many people.
- National elections were held in South Vietnam for the first time since 1967 and two-thirds of the eligible voters participated despite random attacks on polling places by the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese forces.
- Soviet astronomer Tamara Smirnova discovered three asteroids on the same evening at the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory – Shura, Veteraniya and Gerasimovich. In a career spanning 16 years Smirnova discovered 135 minor planets.
We know what Tamara Smirnova’s special purpose on this earth was! Wow.
The Zapruder film clearly shows that Kennedy was shot from the front and that there were three rows of people in that car, not two as everyone claims.
Is that Pete Townshend jumping up?
I believe it is Pete- and I have to disagree one assassin- LHO and no conspiracy.
Really??? I guess we will have to agree to disagree. Wow. I would never have guessed that.
I once believed in a conspiracy but after reading a bunch of books etc- and visiting there a half dozen times- I think it was LHO- but we will never know for sure on any of it. That is for certain.
Government does cover itself up very well.
Great post, I will share.
