    Chris, make that two of the eleven presentations presented 'live'.  Johnny Cairns cannot make it down from Edinburgh, so his talk will be by video link too.  

    Is this symptomatic of a falling off of interest?  I don't think so, but we have gone through Covid lockdown and now a looming energy crisis pushing up costs of almost everything, so finances are tight.  Over the last few years we have lost some giants in the research community through age/infirmity and retirements.  Our founder Ian Griggs and Mathew Smith sadly passed, Malcolm Blunt has taken a well-deserved 'backseat'.  Barry Keane has moved out into the wilds of Cymru and infirmity has caught up with regular presenters Alaric Rosman and Bill Beadle.  I think things are a serious reflection of our aging membership.  Nobody is getting any younger, I'm hitting 70 in some months' time.

    I think it has been discussed on this Forum just what the JFK case means, if anything, to younger generations.  Will the group slowly become extinct?  Who knows.  There are societies that still study and discuss the psyche of Richard III and probe the sad demise of the princes in the tower in 1483.

    Yes, 2023 the sixtieth anniversary may regenerate interest and new research.  Chris, it would be great to meet you once again in Canterbury next year.

    "Barry Keane has moved out into the wilds of Cymru" Keano returns from the depths of Wales to Canterbury for at least this year!

    Chuck, how could the conspirators be confident when altering the Zapruder film the weekend of the assassination that dozens of additional films and photographs from Dealey Plaza wouldn't immediately contradict their forgeries?

    I agree. But if it was indeed altered, it didn't achieve it's intention. So it was a waste of time and effort.

  3. I don't "know" what happened in Dealey Plaza, but I do believe there was a conspiracy. As far as film alteration, how did the conspirators know the Zapruder film needed altering? When was this done? What about all the other films and photos taken in Dealey Plaza, were they also altered? If the purpose of altering the Zapruder film was to disguise evidence of multiple shooters, it failed.

    The conspirators knew that had to cover it up for 20 years probably, at which point the public wouldn’t care enough, as other traumatic events or distractions would have taken their attentions.

    Oh really! Enormous presumption. Even if the film did not exist, there is enough evidence to suggest a conspiracy. The public did care and still does. The cover up succeeded in protecting the guilty from justice,  but not from the judgement of history.

  4. In late November 1963 in Dallas Texas a tragedy occurred. A man was shot in front of his protectors. He later was pronounced dead in Parkland Hospital. This terrible event not only cost the life of a human being but dealt a savage blow to truth. Because of this murder faith in our leaders has been severely shaken. His death spawned a mystery which has still not been satisfactorily explained, and perhaps never will. Truth and justice was badly wounded when Lee Harvey Oswald was killed. I wonder if Jack Ruby ever realised that his act of violence would have such far reaching consequences.

    Bart Kamp is an invaluable researcher.

    What he and Malcolm Blunt have done with the declassified files should be saluted. And they do it from Europe.

    Sorry he is not here anymore.

    They are both, in their own ways, a credit to Dealey Plaza UK and JFK Research in general. They are tenacious and have worked tirelessly to find the truth. Malcolm is incomparable and Bart, although many find his conclusions controversial, is none the less a breath of fresh air. I am privileged to call them friends.
