Lawyer Mark Javitch Scores Courtroom Win to Free the Zapruder Film — National Archives Responds by Locking Up the Best Copies

On October 1, 2026, the Archivist of the United States quietly signed an agreement with a private Dallas Museum that keeps the clearest, highest-resolution versions of the Zapruder film locked away from the American people.

The Zapruder film is the single most important piece of photographic evidence in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The taxpayers bought it. The government made high-quality copies of it specifically so the public could study it. And the government is still keeping those copies out of reach.

The timing of this agreement is no accident.

Just eight weeks earlier, on August 5, 2026, a federal judge in Dallas handed attorney Mark Javitch a major victory, ruling that a court can order the National Archives to put the Zapruder film online for the public and that the copyright itself was subject to challenge and a determination of fair use.

The government lost in court. So it went around the court.

Mark Javitch: The Lawyer Who Took On the Archives and the Museum

Mark L. Javitch is a federal litigator based in San Mateo, California. He represents the Forum on Open Access to Government Records, a publisher fighting to pry the Zapruder film loose from government and private control.

Javitch has spent years battling the Sixth Floor Museum in Dallas and the National Archives in Freedom of Information Act and JFK Records Act cases, including an appeal now pending before the Ninth Circuit. He is the author of SCAM: The Zapruder Copyright — How the Sixth Floor Museum Continues the Coverup (2025). The Forum maintains ZapruderFilm.com, the largest free public collection of National Archives documents on the history of the Zapruder film.

“The one attempt to enforce the Zapruder copyright lost in court in 1967. Inexplicably, 60 years later, the government lets the Museum decide who gets access based on the copyright that could never be enforced.” Javitch said. Javitch suspects the Zapruder film held by the Archives may have been altered — a theory his book lays out in detail, and one the Museum denies. Javitch believes that the Museum rejected the Forum’s request for permission to use the copyright because the Forum’s publications raise the question whether the film was altered, a theory the Museum considers off limits.

Javitch hopes that full public access to the best copies will shed light on the question once and for all. If the film is authentic, the highest-resolution versions will show it. If it is not, the American people deserve to know. Either way, the answer lies in the very versions the government is now locking away. The government promised to make high-quality versions available to the public. It performed the high-resolution scans in 2002, but never made them widely available.

The fight started with a simple request.

Accountability Is All That Matters Now

In recent months, there’s been a torrent of document releases that prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, the scope of the atrocities committed in the name of the Covid response by the public health establishment. As someone who has been submitting articles to Brownstone Journal covering this subject for more than 3 years (20 have been published), it has been suggested that I once again bring my perspective into the arena regarding these recent revelations. Frankly, I have felt no such calling. Why is that? For me, it’s a matter of been there; done that!

The first article I wrote that was published in Brownstone Journal in October 2023, Where is the Office for Human Research Protections? ends by asking whether the expression, “Never again” still has any meaning. Back in January 2024, I had written an article titled, Racism, Anti-Semitism, Genocide, and Eugenics in the COVID Era; and in April 2025, I had written an article titled, Have We Lived through a Public Health Holocaust?. While the titles of the latter two articles speak for themselves, the latest revelations have largely confirmed the historical perspective that I presented both factually and contextually.

In addition, as far back as the winter of 2021-22, I had been blogging on a website for healthcare professionals about the shredding of the Nuremberg Code, a document that primarily focuses on proper informed consent. At the time, I was roundly criticized for having the gall to bring this subject up, as it was viewed as a total non sequitur. However, over the past year, gross violations of the Nuremberg Code have been cited with some regularity, even in mainstream media.

Based on the foregoing, it should be clear where I stand regarding the so-called Covid response. As such, for me to write more on this subject is merely to gild the lily. I see no purpose in doing that. I’ll only point out that in reading what others are now writing in response to the recent flood of hard evidence, it appears that more and more people are catching up to where I’ve been for almost 5 years, although they tend to dance around using the same terminology that I have put out there.

I’ve reached the point where the only thing I care about is accountability. Without it, these atrocities will keep happening. In fact, plans for a replay are already in place by agencies within the US government, the World Health Organization, and any number of other globalist masters of the universe who have the resources and connections to move on it. They’re just waiting for the right set of circumstances to justify implementation.

As guideposts for what that accountability should look like, I’ll cite two seminal legal/judicial events: Watergate and the Nazi Doctors’ Trial. As a result of the Watergate break-in and cover-up, events that I believe pale in comparison to the Covid atrocities, there were 69 indictments, 48 convictions or guilty pleas, approximately 2 dozen prison sentences served, and a presidential resignation.

The Nazi Doctors’ Trial was for medical crimes that might have been more brutal than the Covid atrocities, but were surpassed in sheer numbers by several orders of magnitude. In all, there were 23 indictments and 16 convictions, of which 7 were sentenced to death (all were hung shortly after conviction), and 9 served varying lengths of time in prison.

Anything short of this level of accountability leaves us dangerously exposed. To those who still can’t accept the fact that the atrocities rose to this level, I would counter that the unwillingness to face this reality will only embolden the monsters who perpetrated these crimes against humanity to continue on the same path.

If you’re looking to the public health system, particularly the physicians, to take back the profession, don’t hold your breath! That’s because, first, do no harm has been irrevocably changed to, do as you’re told! This is the result of the change in the nature of the relationship between physicians and the system within which they work; something that was deliberately built into the Affordable Care Act.

No; accountability will have to come through the justice system, both civil (with disgorgement of the billions of dollars of ill-gotten gains) and criminal (with stiff prison terms). In my opinion, there’s no other way out!

California Officials Blame ‘Vendor Error’ For Sending Thousands Of Duplicate Ballots

A California county sent duplicate mail-in ballots to thousands of voters in what officials have characterized as a printing error, raising questions about election security amid heightened federal scrunity.

Tulare County, which includes part of Sequoia National Park, acknowledged the “error” in a statement posted on its website, blaming a government vendor for security lapse.

“As a result of a printer vendor error during the ballot replacement procedure, some Tulare County voters received duplicate vote-by-mail packets,” county officials wrote.

The California officials said that the issue affected a portion of voters centered in the City of Tulare. According to ABC 30, nearly 7,800 voters were sent the duplicate ballots.

“The vendor has accepted full responsibility and worked with County officials to send voters a mailer with accurate information and guidance,” the county added.

Tulare officials warned voters that state law only allows for one ballot to be cast per election and are ordered to destroy the duplicate ballot.

“DO NOT RETURN OR ATTEMPT TO VOTE THE DUPLICATE BALLOT,” Tulare County officials wrote in all caps.

ABC 30 reported that the error specifically affected 7,791 voters in a county with approximately 227,000 registered voters. California voter registration documents show that as of 2025, roughly 31% of registered voters were Democrats, compared with 39% who were Republicans.

WNBA Releases Letter- Says Enes Cantor Freedom and Royce White Cannot Play in League But REFUSE TO ANSWER What Is a Women… Update: And They Allowed a Trans Man to Play!

The WNBA dashed the hopes of trans athletes everywhere when they released their letter earlier this week on trans athletes in the league.

The WNBA WILL NOT allow Enes Cantor Freedom and Royce (Roysha) White to play in their women’s league.

But they will not define what a woman is! Why is that?

The once trans-welcoming league is now the nation’s leading openly trans-phobic league!

Enes Cantor Freedom released their letter on Thursday.

And, they still won’t define what it means to be a woman!

Never forget that the WNBA had an openly trans player in the league for years.

The Gateway Pundit reported earlier that the league previously allowed trans players to play.

In fact, one of the trans players has been very vocal.

Layshia Clarendon was born a female but decided to have her breasts removed while playing in the WNBA. She played in the league from 2013 to 2024.

Clay Travis posted the tweet earlier on Thursday. Travis believes the WNBA has a major legal problem.

The league allowed Clarendon to play while receiving testosterone, but Royce and Enes are not allowed?

Ilhan Omar is Not Somali Congresswoman’s Real Name – Every Form She’s Ever Filled Out Could Be “Called into Question,” Former Immigration Judge Says

Federal sources have revealed to Fox News that “Ilhan Omar” is a fake name used by the Somali Minnesota Congresswoman currently embattled in a federal fraud investigation.

Her real name is Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, the name of her brother-husband, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, two sources familiar with the ongoing investigation confirmed to Fox.

A former Minnesota federal immigration judge also told the outlet that if it is proven that she lived her “entire life under an alias,” every document she’s ever filled out with the fake name could be “called into question.”

The Gateway Pundit reported yesterday that the Department of Justice revealed in a recent court filing that Omar is identified in the search warrant used to raid her home as “Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, a/k/a Ilhan Abdullahi Omar.”

The DC US Attorney’s Office further revealed that their extensive search warrant has not yet been fully executed.

Savannah Mayor Says Some “Gangs” May Just Be Groups Making Music Together

This week Savannah Mayor Van Johnson tried to answer a question about gang violence in the city but in the end provided only more evidence of how one avoids referring to gangs in public.

“It would be irresponsible for me to call… sometimes we have groups of people that are engaged in music, engaged in sports, and people say they’re a gang,” said Mayor Johnson in an interview with WTOC this week. Johnson stated “I don’t have the slightest idea” how many gangs there were in the city of Savannah.

Chatham County Sheriff Richard Coleman held a news conference less than a month ago to say that 18 groups of people that the Sheriff’s Office has intelligence on must immediately cease to exist. He said some of the groups are tied to the Bloods, Crips and Vice Lords. The Sheriff’s Office did not provide documentation for how each of the 18 groups was identified as a gang by law enforcement, reported WJCL.

Johnson did acknowledge that there are street gangs operating in Savannah today, telling WJCL, “We know we do have street gangs here,” and he has listed out all of the things that are being done to deal with them, including the fact that the Savannah police department has had a gang unit for about 10 years. The city also funds a prosecutor that works out of the U.S. Attorney’s Office to deal with violent crimes and he said overall violent crime is down in the city of Savannah, according to WTOC.

But then Johnson went on to explain in some detail why he believed some groups of young people were not gangs. He acknowledged that not every incident of youth crime was gang-related, and he said police should make their case in court rather than in social media posts. Johnson told WTOC he was “glad the sheriff wants to get involved” in addressing the problem of gang violence in Savannah.

A shooting took place on September 26 near West Bay Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in the downtown area of Savannah. At least 27 rounds of ammunition were fired, according to WTOC. Although video was captured of individuals running from the scene of the shooting, no gang connection has been established by the Savannah police in the recent shooting, though the sheriff called it gang activity. As was reported by WTOC, last year’s Oglethorpe Mall shootout left a woman dead after she ran from the gunfire, and six men now face a 71-count indictment that includes charges of felony murder and gang-related charges.

It is a difficult question for a mayor to respond to on the topic of gang violence in his city, but that does not mean he has to answer it with a disclaimer about the unfairness of labeling certain groups as gangs. He can lead with strength on this one.

Savannah residents don’t need a primer on the different kinds of criminal gangs out there. All they need is for their Mayor to acknowledge that gangs are a problem in the city and to assert that he stands behind the police and the prosecutors who are working to combat them. That he spent a press conference about gang violence on the unfairness of labels instead is unfortunate.

Savannah has a gang unit, a federal prosecutor funded by the city, and the numbers of violent crime are decreasing. But what the city needs is the right tone on this matter of growing concern, as the sheriff in the area lists 18 gangs and there is gunfire downtown.

AOC Claims the FBI and DOJ That Democrats Used to Investigate Trump Are Now Corrupt and Must be Investigated

AOC of New York was recently in Maine campaigning for Troy Jackson.

During her remarks, she went off on a tangent about the FBI and the DOJ, suggesting that both agencies are corrupt and must be investigated.

Why? Because they’re going after her good friend Ilhan Omar.

AOC had no problem with the FBI or the DOJ when Democrats were using them to investigate Donald Trump, because that was just different.

Transcript via Real Clear Politics:

REP. ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ (D-NY): First and foremost, everything that we are seeing unfold right now is an absolute weaponization of the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigations, point blank period. And I want to zoom out, you know, if you’re having a conversation with someone that isn’t sure about the details of what’s happening in the news and whatnot, just know that it has been standing practice in order to protect the integrity of our elections that the FBI and the DOJ do not take actions like these within a certain time frame of an election, regardless of what is happening in any circumstance of an investigation.

And so the very fact that this is happening in October and September tells you, period, that these agencies have been weaponized and compromised. So what we have to do, whether it’s this, whether it’s the corruption that we’ve seen with crypto and the ballroom and all of these things, is that we’ve known that Kash Patel has purged the FBI of many serious investigators. We’ve known that the Department of Justice has also been weaponized in its absolute groundless indictments of everyone from Tish James to Jerome Powell and so on and so forth.

Day one, we need to be opening investigations into the heads of every single one of these agencies, and we need to hold them accountable. I’m talking subpoenas. I’m talking investigations.

Ex-Officers Kept Access To Flock Cameras Long After Leaving The Police, Including A Former Georgia Investigator

A former investigator with the Effingham County Sheriff’s Office in Georgia kept using the Flock nationwide license plate camera system for five years after he left his job as an investigator, and used it to search for his wife’s plate, the Washington Post reported Wednesday.

Andrae Wright, a former investigator for the Effingham County Sheriff’s Office, left the office in 2021, but logged into the Flock system to search for a license plate bearing his wife’s middle name more than 60 times over a five-year span, according to Georgia Bureau of Investigation statements and audit records. Some of the searches were conducted while Wright was trying to gain permanent custody of the couple’s teenage daughter, the Post learned. Wright and his wife divorced this year. He was arrested in July and charged with stalking his wife, using information from Flock “for the purpose of harassing and intimidating her,” according to his warrant. Wright did not return a call for comment for the Post’s story. The sheriff’s office said it had not regularly reviewed account access and plans to begin audits.

The Post investigation identified 11 cases of unauthorized use of Flock license plate readers, a network of at least 120,000 cameras nationwide. In 4 of the cases, police officers continued to use the system after they left their jobs or while they were on suspension from their jobs. In 6 additional cases, logins or access were shared with officers from other police departments.

The Post also reported on a case out of Fulton County, where an investigation was launched into the actions of a former police officer over suspected Flock license plate searches after she had left her employment with the department. The department shared its Flock subscription with the sheriff’s office, and no one notified the sheriff’s office to revoke her access when she resigned from her job. “They didn’t remove the employee,” Police Chief Wade Yates told the paper. “I’ll take the heat for that.”

In Cobb County, the sheriff’s office cut its Flock accounts from some 200 users to about 50, and only those 50 are now considered to be authorized to use the system. The review found that a number of employees had been given login information to the system for no work-related purpose, and the review found no apparent misuse.

The Post revealed the worst case of abuse of the system in a story about Indianapolis. A police recruit named Matthew Binford used a senior police officer’s account to enter the plate of his estranged wife on the Flock system over 1,000 times in one year, according to a court affidavit obtained by the paper. The senior officer had opened Flock on Binford’s laptop and left the session active, the affidavit stated, and Binford kept access for more than two years. Binford and four other current and former Indianapolis police officers were charged last month, after a Post inquiry prompted a department-wide audit. He declined to comment.

Three former Flock employees told the Post that the company has pushed back against additional security measures. Two of them said leadership had concerns that additional security would negatively impact sales to law enforcement agencies. While Flock’s contracts stipulate that accounts be created using official agency email addresses, the company acknowledged that it began to actively enforce this only recently. Multi-factor authentication was made the default setting in 2024, though agencies could opt out, and was made mandatory in August of this year. In the wake of the Post’s findings, Flock said it is working with customers to remove personal email addresses and other forms of shared login credentials from Flock accounts. As of next year, users will have to log back in every 12 hours. Company spokesman Paris Lewbel said Flock acts when it identifies security weaknesses or policy violations. The company declined to comment on individual cases, however.

81 People Wrote A Federal Judge Asking For Leniency For Brant Frost, Who Pleaded Guilty To Running A $140 Million Ponzi Scheme

More than 80 people, including family, friends, and even investors who lost money in the scheme, are asking a federal judge for mercy on Newnan businessman Edwin Brant Frost IV who is set to be sentenced for a Ponzi scheme that the SEC says defrauded about 300 investors of at least $140 million. Their names are listed below in the exhibit index from Frost’s own sentencing memorandum.

Frost, 69, pleaded guilty on May 12 to one count of wire fraud, according to FOX 5 Atlanta. The SEC says First Liberty Building & Loan, the firm he owned, operated as a Ponzi scheme since at least 2021, paying existing investors with new investors’ money. The SEC also says Frost used investor funds for more than $2.4 million in credit card payments, more than $335,000 to a rare coin dealer and $230,000 on family vacations. Prosecutors recommend 14 years in prison. His lawyers ask for five, in a sentencing memorandum filed October 19 in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, Case No. 3:26-cr-00008-LMM. Sentencing is set for October 26, according to local reports.

When First Liberty Building & Loan sold itself to investors, it billed its leaders as “authentic followers of Christ” with a penchant for charitable giving to religious causes, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. In advertising in conservative media across Georgia and beyond the state, First Liberty promoted itself with the slogan “We say yes when the big banks say no.”

Frost’s own lawyers concede the core of his misconduct in their memorandum regarding sentence. They state that “Brant made material misrepresentations to investors and omitted certain material facts.” According to their memorandum, in the final years of the investment program, returns to investors were paid largely from newly invested funds and not from borrowers’ repayments of loans. The sentencing guidelines stipulated in his plea agreement put the loss between $65 million and $150 million and count substantial financial hardship to 25 or more victims.

Frost’s lawyers write that he is neither the swindler nor the con artist that many imagine him to be. In describing Brant, the letter writers are unanimous in describing him as a gentle, kind, and loving soul, they say. Moreover, they say, the investment program that Brant oversaw was not a sham or a con.

These letters were written by Frost’s family members and friends, business associates, and ministers and other Christian leaders from several different churches. They include a letter from Paul C. Broun, M.D., who wrote that he has known Frost since the 1980s. Other writers include Chad Connelly of Faith Wins; Carroll Conley, retired executive director of the Christian Civic League of Maine; Pete Mullins, who signs as Pastor Emeritus of Coweta Community Church; Tim Tidwell, who signs as pastor of Oakside Baptist Church in LaGrange; and David Theiss, who signs as mayor. Writing to a judge before sentencing is lawful and routine, and the names are part of the public court record.
