John Kennedy White

Amazing stuff! What I find truly interesting is the view that all of the railroad workers had from the overpass... they would have seen everything...

Here is a fraction of the images I did in my study of the BDM. Go to Lancer at http://www.jfklancerforum.com/dc/dcboard.p...ing_type=search Thanks, Bill.

Jack doesn't do studies ... he finds that his making up silly off-the-wall observations about things he cannot understand seems to take all of his energy. (The latest one being the 'plaza midget' observation) Bill Miller I actually saw Plaza Midget play at the Albert here in Winnipeg... kicking punk/ska thing... Keep the photo studies coming, Jack. I find them interesting and Bill clearly finds them entertaining...

Excellent observations, JL. I will look into them! Jack Speaking of Willis... Jack, have you or any of the other photo gurus done a detailed study of Black Dog Man with today's technology? Given what came out of the tiny Moorman photo (Badgeman) I would guess more detail is resident in Willis... Hi, John White. My late father John White would have been 112 years old next week were he still here. I have studied the blackdogman for more than 30 years. No good image exists of "him". "He" appears only in Willis5 and Betzner. I have concluded that he probably did not exist at all, but was added by retouching. I base that mostly on the Moorman image. Thanks. Jack Fair enough... Is it possible that the Dog Man does not appear in Moorman because of the angle and the dark background? Or, that "he" was a "round 1" shooter only and began his exit after the throat shot?

Alfred Hitchcock used the foreshortening effect in many of his movies. In vertigo when Jimmy Stewart was having a vertigo attack - Jimmy stayed the same size while the background was growing larger - that is one example of something that you just said does not exist. The "Foreshortening effect" can be researched on the Internet by doing a simple google search. "Images taken with long telephoto lenses exhibit a characteristic perspective distortion known as compression of space. Objects that are actually far apart appear unusually close together, and observed texture gradients and optic flows impart a distorted sense of orientation and depth." Bill Miller Bill: I've used this zoom-compression technique often to emphasize details... But, I think this particular case is a slight over-exposure of the first image, blasting out anything behind the pergola.

Excellent observations, JL. I will look into them! Jack Speaking of Willis... Jack, have you or any of the other photo gurus done a detailed study of Black Dog Man with today's technology? Given what came out of the tiny Moorman photo (Badgeman) I would guess more detail is resident in Willis...

Here's a witness saying someone was struck in the foot or ankle... How many casualties were reported by witnesses? Has anyone gone through the testimony and counted them? James Tague's cheek, reports of pools of blood and cries of "we got one of 'em"... would be interesting to see other reports.

Don't mistake frustration for self-righteousness. Duly noted.

Let me ask you a simple question ... when it is raining and you are behind the wheel of your car .... why do you turn on your wipers? Could it be so to allow you to see the best view possible of whats in front of you so to try and avoid having an unnecessary accident ... that's why I do it and why using poor quality images are a waste of time. If just trying to see things that may not be really there is all one wishes to do, then laying on your back and watching different shaped clouds drift by could accomplish the same thing. Let's look at an example pertaing to what you just said ... Jack: "Zombies are said to cast no shadows. Whoever added Zap and Sitz to the Bronson slide forgot to give them shadows, so must have thought them among the undead. Comments?" Again, Jack: "The usual gang of idiots is strangely quiet on this study. Even Mr. Light." Miller reply: "Jack - two things ... 1) Aren't you the guy who has told this forum that you do not provoke attacks ... I believe you are, so why are you calling people idiots for not responding to what is clearly another ridiculous misreading of an assassination image??? 2) I addressed this error of yours days ago in another thread and starting this crap in a new thread is not going to change the outcome. The shadows cast NE - not due east. This means that the shadow on the ground is being cast to our right and away from the camera. Zapruder and Sitzman's shadows are not visible because the pedestal is hidding them. If you need a reference, then look at Moorman and Hill's shadows on the curb in Altgens 6." Again, Jack: "Irrelevant non-sequiturs from another joker, who is unfamiliar with Mad Magazine." Now, JKW ... what was that point you were wanting to make about Jack's sincerity in wanting to learn anything? Bill Miller Notice I said MANY... Yes... there needs to be a collective "voice of reason" on proposed theories. I agree with most of what you say... my primary point was, as an idealist, I would like to see more relevant debate and less chest-poking and provocation. My greatest fear is that honest debate will fade in the face of the onslaught of self-righteousness.

As a new member, I enjoy seeing new photos and ideas posted to the board, with constructive discussion and debate - that is why I joined. The schoolyard sniping that goes on between three or four members is a major turnoff and this kind of ego-tripping may get in the way of real discussions, which is sad. Many of Jack's photos are posted with questions like "what do you think?" or "can anyone identify this person or that object?" which to me appear to be genuine attempts to learn more.

The second photo looks more like Pete Townshend, circa 1966... The bulbous chin looks familiar, but the face shape is dramatically different. Maybe the smile has altered that angular face?

John Kennedy White was born into the JFK assassination research milieu. Named after the late president in 1967, John inherited his father's cynical nature, as well as his large collection of vintage magazine articles, and grabbed the torch with gusto once he could understand the topic. He has read more than two dozen books on the topic, as well as hosted seminars of the basics of the case. John is editor-in-chief of a Silicon Valley-based publishing website, a competitive curler in Winnipeg, Manitoba and an avid researcher eager to contribute to the incredible work quietly being carried out by others.
