Don’t understand what argument you’re trying to instigate here?

That's what is wrong here, if I'm allowed to say so.

Can you please give us the details of the quote? Especially your source?

So was the Secret Service. I am thinking specifically of the purported December, 1963 “Burn Party.”

Was there possibly something even worse than what I posted above? I am thinking specifically of the untimely and suspicious deaths of William Pitzer and Dorothy Kilgallen.

Destroying documents - the Military was particularly guilty of this

How They Fooled Us: 1. photo and film and X-ray alterations. 2. Media influence using CIA assets—see CIA memo and Carl Bernstein’s “The CIA and the Media,” e.g., Life magazine purchasing the Z-film. 3. Control of information to, and collusion with key members of, investigative bodies—e.g., WC, Clark Panel, HSCA, etc.—and use of attorneys more interested in appeasing government clients than getting at the truth. 4. Withholding important information—e.g., the documents that are still being withheld. 5. Taking advantage of people’s natural tendencies to not want to look like “kooks” when the (altered) photos and films contradict their recollections. 6. Taking advantage of people’s natural fears of retaliation if they speak out (e.g., the so-called “Death List”), perhaps even creating that fear (e.g., the shots fired at Roger Craig and Jim Garrison (although the latter is from the JFK movie rather than any firsthand accounts that I am aware of) 7. Refusing to “come clean” about what happened. 8. Denigration of critics as “Conspiracy Theorists” (and “kooks”) by media, and spreading to the public (related to #2 above).

It's bad form to ridicule a person whose brain was eaten by a worm, but I was wondering today if RFK, Jr., possibly, forgot that his father and uncles were liberal Democrats. He mentioned that the worm caused memory impairments. 🙄

Inside the office of Capt. Will Fritz, there were sometimes as many as seven or eight (Special Agent James Bookhout, Postal Inspector Harry Holmes, etc.) who cramped inside to sit in on the interrogations of Lee Oswald. Homicide & Robbery Captain Will Fritz stated that he was constantly asked to leave his office momentarily to receive a report from a detective and/or give an assignment to an officer. During these times, the others inside the office would take the opportunity to ask Oswald questions. Chief Jesse Curry felt that the cramped office and the hectic atmosphere throughout the third floor (members of the press randomly questioning Oswald) made it difficult for the interrogators to gain Oswald's confidence and to encourage him to be truthful. "We were violating every principle of interrogation. It was just against all principles of good interrogation practice." -- Police Chief Jesse Curry

It's pretty wild to think how reactions to the album were slightly muted upon its release, as it took a few years for everyone to realize what a classic it was. Could be because in 1970 Clapton's image was still tied so strongly to the Cream sound.

...OK, let's finish now the segment on the forgery of the Zapruder film. But let's review the sequence first: - I have found several dozen of photographic and film evidence of men wearing DPD officers directly involved in the shooting, some of them present on the Knoll both behind the wall and behind the fence - I, logically, searched for potential eyewitnesses of these men - I discovered (actually, re-discovered...) that the closest known witness to the area, Abraham Zapruder, actually went out of his way to tell the WC that there was "indication" of a second assassin. He did not say where this "indication" might be found. Nevertheless, the WC staff's answer establishes he knew Zapruder was talking about something he had filmed... - Since the camera is entirely focused on the limousine during most of the film, the only place where any "indication" of a second assassin might be found are the few frames where he caught the extremity of the fence just before the extant film stops - So I decided to process two frames, close enough to allow variations but not total modification or disappearance: so something visible in frame A should, given the known Laws of Physics, still be present in frame B in a coherent fashion , if the image being analyzed is real. I chose Z 462 and Z 472, separated by about half a second (0,6 sec actually), and presented the results In summary: results obtained on pictures and films led us to an eyewitness's statement, which in turn led us to another set of positive results, confirming the original ones. Again, I would think people with sound mind would realize that this continuity in corroboration cannot be dismissed as being simply coincidental. I post below a composite of Z 462 and Z 472. This the correct time sequence. Note that the movement of the man is coherent with the time sequence, i.e, a bit more than half a second between the two frames: I'd like to use Z 462 once again, to illustrate why it is important, as I am trying to convey here, that the photographic and film record be re-assessed using 21st Century tools and methods. The last time this record was scientifically evaluated was in 1978: that is Jurassic Park compared to what we now have at our disposal. I re-post below the original Z 462, just to illustrate the fact that, even without processing it, it still shows clear evidence of forgery, visible to the naked eye, now that we have already established that the small tree hiding the top of the fence is actually a Special FX. It is also a good illustration of the difficulty of image analysis. This evidence has been sitting in plain view for 60 years. See if you can find it: If you could not, there it is: Here is a cropped enlargement: Remember, we have already seen that: - the apparent location of this "small tree", relative to Zapruder and the Fence, is highly suspect and doesn't correspond to what we see in other pictures and films - this "small tree" actually disappears in the processed results, to reveal the image of two men behind the fence. This is also verified in identical fashion in Z 472 So what we see here is that, in the "original" / unprocessed frame, we still find direct evidence of forgery. Evidently, the alteration of dozens of successive frames could not be done in automated batch sessions in the 60s... There are very probably many more instances of such slip-ups in the actual record. We should now be able to pick them up.... Ok, so up to the Nix film. Because of its unique angle of vision capturing the Knoll, the Nix film is actually the piece of evidence which required the most alteration. The forgers could not simply "patch" unwanted details, as they did elsewhere: the Nix film necessitated a whole "remastering" to hide the truth. Researchers of the Old guard type will remember that first the Nix film was "unavailable", then appeared in a severely cropped version cutting out anything above the wall, then later on in an incredibly dark version still hiding everything behind the wall and fence. Evidently, there is something with the Nix film which should be of interest to serious researchers... So that is what we are going to look into right now. But first, I will seek, if I may, contribution from members here about an important feature of the Nix film we are going to analyze. I post below the original I worked with: frame 16 (my own count) of a clip of Nix I downloaded from YouTube: "1", "2" and "3" are reference points that will be used later in the analysis. What I am concerned about, is the whitish, rectangular artifact that is indicated below by a question mark: Does anyone know what this is ? On the right of it, we can see the infamous "Shooter in a White Shirt" that was debunked in the 70s. But what about that whitish rectangular artifact? I will wait a day or two for contributions / explanations / theories about this artifact, before posting results...

That is not an obstacle to more than a few. Just slightly crazier than believing Greer would have stopped or even slowed down the limo so that multiple assassins shooting from as far as several hundred feet away could get a shot at a target maybe 6 feet away from him and hoping he is not in their way.

But how could anybody outside of the car have fired from below, from the front and from the left?

One of the most important events both in early and modern American history was the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on 11,22,1963. On a level of the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the dropping of the atomic bombs on Japan, Japan's surrender and the landing of Neil Armstrong on the moon in 1969. General Curtis LeMay wrote his autobiography ( with ghost writer ) " Mission With LeMay-My Story" in 1965. Later biographies included Thomas Coffey's "Iron Eagle - The Turbulent Life Of General Curtis LeMay and later "LeMay." It is quite suspicious in my mind that LeMay doesn't even mention where he was when JFK was killed in Dallas, Texas on 11,22,1963 in "Mission With LeMay." He was on the Joint Chiefs Of Staff that day. Head of our Air Forces. His duty life was on 24 hour highest alert status. Every branch of the military was too. Hour by hour highest level decisions were being made by him in regards to the unprecedented crisis at hand. Was Russia involved? Cuba? LeMay doesn't feel this epically important event time in his life is worth mentioning, especially where he was that day and what he did upon first being informed and during those first hours and days after?

That’s a clip that releases the spare tire locker. I don’t even believe it would have been visible to Jackie. https://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth184701/m1/1/

The prime suspects for Dealey Plaza were: Felix ‘El Gato’ Rodriguez Mendigutia (AMHAZE-2718/AMJOKE-1), Nestor ‘Tony’ Izquierdo (AMHAZE-2586), Carlos ‘Batea’ Hernandez Sanchez (AMHAZE-2523), Antonio Soto, Jorge Navarro (AMHAZE-2536), Victor Espinoza Hernandez (AMHAZE-2766/AMHINT-24), Frank Barnardino (AMHAZE-2512), John Koch Gene (AMHINT-26), Jorge Giraud Leiva (AMHAZE-2524), and Gonzolo Herrara (Gorilla-2 pilot during the Bay of Pigs invasion). These men, among others, were part of the CIA’s alpha team of anti-Castro commandos. They were the first recruits in what was to become Brigade 2506. They all lost friends and family members in the failed invasion. They had the crucial distinction of working directly under William ‘Rip’ Robertson, arguably the CIA’s top Special Activities Division commando. Rip’s men had his trust, and they had collectively risked their lives multiple times trying to liberate Cuba since 1961. As best as I can tell most of the names put forward by conspiracy theorists do not fit in our names of interest nor did they have an asset type relationship with the CIA as do our list of Cuban CIA paramilitary assets. They show up in reports and documents but that’s something entirely different than the list of names we are connecting to Carl Jenkins and Rip Robertson… and Rafael Quintero and Manuel Artime for that matter. At this point I am really interested in separating names that have been tossed around in JFK literature over the decades from those that we really can operationally tie to CIA paramilitary officers from 60-64. The further we dig, the more real they become; we are now at the point where we can trace many of them from their very first volunteer days, to Panama with Jenkins, on to Guatemala and then later separated and taken to Belle Chase and Key West for infiltration (and Castro assassination) operations. We can timeline that month by month….and do so up to the early fall of 1963. Then they join AMWORLD and we lose them until February, until the appear in Guatemala or even in the Congo. They become substantial, you can get the feel of how competent they were, how much they trusted each other and were trusted by people like Jenkins and Robertson – and that does not apply to all that many people. One can visualize how a select few could have been committed enough, extreme enough and trusted enough to end up in the Plaza. Convinced that what they were doing was absolutely critical. My view is being trusted by Robertson gets you in for Dallas and that means you have to have worked with him in actual missions. Having been trained by Jenkins and sent into Cuba on pre-Bay of Pigs missions gets you on the list of possible recruits. This is speaking to the actual shooter team, not any ancillary personnel. The Mexico City nightclub photo reveals a mixed group of apparent Cuban exiles, Italian wise guys, and square-jawed military intelligence types. It was discovered among keepsakes kept in the safe of the widow of CIA pilot and drug smuggler Barry Seal (third from left). It appears on the cover of “Barry & ‘the boys:’ The CIA, the Mob & America’s Secret History” (MadCow Press, Eugene OR. 2001). Goss appears second on the left. He is seated between notorious CIA pilot and drug smuggler Barry Seal (third left) and the equally-notorious CIA assassin Felix Rodriguez (front left), a Cuban vice cop under the corrupt Mob-run Batista regime who later became an Iran Contra operative and a confidant of the first George Bush. The only one of the spook celebrants displaying any hint of tradecraft (seated on the other side of the table covering his face with his sport coat) is Frank Sturgis, most famous as one of the Watergate burglars. Beside him sits (front right) William Seymour, New Orleans representative of the Double-Chek Corporation, a CIA front used to recruit pilots (like Seal), and a man who many Kennedy assassination researchers believe impersonated Lee Harvey Oswald on several occasions when the lone nut gunman was out of the country and so unable to impersonate himself. As we saw it, the photo was in a yellowed frame, the kind used by nightclub photographers to create instant keepsakes. Seal’s widow Debbie Seal kept it in her safe, where it was overlooked by a 7-man team from the State Department which arrived at her house in 1995 to comb through her records. It bears the name of a nightclub in Mexico City, and is stamped January 22, 1963, which, if you’re counting, was exactly ten months to the day before the Kennedy assassination.

That's the stuff of batshit crazy, of course...

It must have been Greer! Or Nellie Connally.

Let me also add both of the Newman’s (Bill and Gayle), but with some specific questions that I would like to ask them.

Never mind, Kevin. You don’t have a version of the film that the rest of us don’t have access to. What you did was take out the utterly fake and extremely distracting Z313 “head shot” along with some of the equally distracting artificially blurred frames to demonstrate that it was CONNALLY, not Kennedy, who was hit at around Z313/Z314. THIS is what I’ve been saying for some time now, because Mary Moorman heard 2 more shots after she took her picture (the next one, or the first shot of the double bang, was when she saw JFK’s “hair lift” and she didn’t actually see JFK or anyone get hit, didn’t know JFK was hit until she saw him “slumped” in the picture), and the FBI “visual aid” model puts the “3rd” shot with the limousine further down Elm Street near the stairs.

A shot from a bit lower, from the front and from the left. Well, who could have fired that?

Kemp Clark, Charles Carrico, Malcolm Perry, Charles Baxter, Robert McClelland, and Marion Jenkins [ https://www.jfk-assassination.net/russ/jfkinfo/app8.htm ]) reported the occipital-parietal wound with extruding cerebellar brain tissue, and roughly a total of FIFTY witnesses attested to the existence of that wound (See Dr. Gary Aguilar's witness calculations below) it is, as JFK researcher @Sandy Larsen has demonstrated elsewhere, a mathematical impossibility that the large avulsive head wound was located anywhere other than in the right lower quadrant of the back of JFK's head: This is a link to Dr. Gary Aguilar's compilation of the earliest testimony of the Parkland Hospital AND Bethesda autopsy witnesses -- http://www.assassinationweb.com/ag6.htm -- and the following chart is in part based upon the the witness accounts outlined in the article by Dr. Gary Aguilar: -------------------------------------------------- DR.

If you can see pink in shadow, then why not the bloody occipital-parietal wound in "shadow"?

Instead, we only see the D-max black hexagon shaped blotch with sharp edges: Kevin Balch wrote: Just what exactly is it, really, that you are seeing in the extant "original" Zapruder film headshot sequence? What I see depicted as the large avulsive headwound is a cantaloupe sized crater in JFK's forehead which is not present in the autopsy photographs, and which none of the witnesses at Parkland Hospital and at the Bethesda autopsy ever reported. And why exactly is it that in Z-335 and Z-337 we are seeing Jackie's pink shoulder pad where we should be seeing JFK's forehead?: And why isn't the cantaloupe sized hole in JFK's forehead that we see in the extant "original" Zapruder film in the autopsy photographs?

Thank you for referring to me as a researcher Denise. I don't really take on that mantle publicly but if I can help anyone else's understanding of the JFKA while enhancing my own then that should be a good thing. The Youtube clip is from TMWKK but I don't know off-hand which episode.

In addition to Doug Horne and the others mentioned above, I would like to add Drs. Mantik, Chesser, and Costello—just to get their information on the record as sworn statements. I would also like to add myself, to demonstrate that all my work has been done in good faith. I tried to submit an Amicus Brief to the Mary Ferrell lawsuit, but it was rejected because I’m “just a researcher.” I don’t suppose there’s any chance of these testimonies ever actually being made for any sort of court case, is there?
