  1. David, If Lee was PM, he had a golden opportunity to say he was outside during the shooting. Instead, he indirectly says (interpret how you will) he was inside. imo As stated previously, a preponderance of research still leads me pondering. https://vimeo.com/738462310
  2. Possibility using other avenue's? Does there appear to be more than one person in RED apparel upon those steps as the limo passes by? Bell's LOS puts both objects to the WEST end of the entrance. A mere coincidence?????
  3. David, The gif was, in no way, meant to represent a particular person. It was to give Tom an idea (in terms of photo enhancing tools- Topaz Labs filters) along with shadow contrast adjustment, what is capable with the Wiegman frame he referenced, along with possible head/body orientation(Bernabei drawing) and what’s in his hand. All speculative on my part. Yes, I agree. The quality we have to work with is not adequate and never will be. And, I surely don’t believe he was shooting JFK. Is it Oswald in Darnell/Wiegman, a preponderance of the research would indicate it is, but I’ll wait until the opportunity arises and someone acquires a clear image. Which will probably never occur. Good to have you back.
  4. 27-2 = 25 $25 x 5 =$125 + 100 +100 =$325 Sounds like you don't expect some, among those $5 contributors, to give a more substantial donation after the financial overseer position is in place. I thought it rather obvious by the earlier responses, a certain number of forum members had already pledged more than $5,but have chosen to remain patient. The reason for the $5 cap was stated. You originally informed us we didn't have a September payment available. Preliminarily, depending on what math is being used, there is enough to cover September without the latest, generous $100 contributions. Thanks for announcing the totals, once again, before the requested deadline, which you recently stated you wouldn't.
  5. You are right Tom. We are limited with what we have to work with, which is not a reflection of the great research many have accomplished. It is mainly a reflection of "greed". imo Anyhow, here's a manipulation of the Bart Kamp discovered, Bernabei frame, from Wiegman. btw, a few years back, I came across something similar to your desired forensic enhancement process. He was an engineer for NASA who created the program specifically for photo/films. I emailed him, but never received a response. If you want to pursue this, I can pass along his previous email info to you along with the program name.
  6. I'll make the assumption that the rifle was pointed downward toward the QueenMary floor, before it was ever raised, as I have never seen any photos/films besides the one supplied, that exposed the rifle. How does one raise a rifle pointed downward, up, so when the rifle barrel end reaches a certain height above the windshield, the angle from rifle barrel end to JFK's head is at approx 2.86°? In the stabilized gif I provided, I do not see Hickey previous to extant z313, getting up/moving from his seated position. His armpit was not high enough to allow windshield clearance and a 2.86° rifle angle to Jfk's head. The suitcases shown appear to be approx 15" (9" + 6") total in height. The Queen Mary was 10" higher in the rear seat than the Limo. Was the windshield proportionately higher too? I don't know what the windshield height was for the QueenMary, only the SS100. If Hickey was the approx height of JFK at 72.5" then he was 25" higher while both were seated if he was sitting on the suitcases. I am 6ft tall. The bottom of my armpit is 18" down from the top of my head. The rifle barrel end would have been even lower. 25"- 18" = 7" 52.78" + 7" = 59.78"
  7. Would someone care to get this rolling via a new topic, asking for those interested in the Paypal/financial overseer position to respond by a set date (How about 4 days from today, after it is posted?) And then 3 days afterwards for the admin staff to choose a person? Total Time Frame - 1 week.
  8. John, https://educationforum.ipbhost.com/topic/27937-bell-film-video-mp4-1920-x-1080-720p-sorry-but-this-bell-video-is-no-longer-available/?do=findComment&comment=465225 https://educationforum.ipbhost.com/topic/27937-bell-film-video-mp4-1920-x-1080-720p-sorry-but-this-bell-video-is-no-longer-available/?do=findComment&comment=465234
  9. James, I would appreciate it if you would STOP giving updates on the $5 donation drive until after the week has elapsed. This defeats part of the reason for having it. This last page of conversation is another reason for it. You already informed us that we had enough money to cover September's payment without the $5 fundraiser. The $5 donations should extend our Invision subscription through October. This should allow plenty of time for discussions/concerns about the forward moving direction of the forum. Of course, there needs to be a discussion cut-off date too. Maybe by the end of August. This would allow plenty of time for people to have their voices heard. Chris
  10. Sean, No need to post it. Please let James know who it is from when you're actually in the donation process. After a week, James can give us the number of people who donated,but their names do not need to be revealed.
  11. Sandy, Multiple people sending checks through the mail is a variable I don't think we want to deal with. Speaking for myself. I don't want to write a check when I can just click a few keyboard keys and be done with it via a Paypal link or something similar. I believe you can "gift" a friend up to $16,000 dollars without having to claim it. I would suggest any contributions/donations be labeled as a "gift" when sent to whomever ends up being the finance overseer. I also have read in the case of a non-profit corp, the first $1000 in donations are usually tax-free if that is a concern. Since the monthly Invision fee for us appears to be $80 per month, that's $960 per year which keeps it below a grand. I find it hard to believe that we would have legal problems regarding this amount unless there is some other revenue the forum is generating.
  12. Jim, Go to the top of this page and on the left hand side, within the blue banner running across the entire page top, rest your cursor on the word "Store" and just below it, the "donations" link should appear as a drop down option, then click it. After you enter the amount ($5),the rest is self-explainable as it will eventually ask for a payment type.
  13. James, Ty's response is exactly why I asked you not to disclose any amounts until after the week of $5 contributions. The $ amount reflective of those contributions would probably give us a better idea on how many members will likely be responsible for funding the forum. I don't expect it will be anywhere near the 55 members Kathy revealed. At the end of one week, can you still let us know how many members contributed the $5? Even though we have enough for September, I still encourage you and everyone else to donate the $5. Any extra can be applied to future Invision payments. It appears from the other discussion, there are many details to work out moving forward, so the extra time is a good thing.
  14. Please contribute only $5 using the "donation" link. This is located at the top of the page under the "Store" menu. Just place your cursor over the word "Store" and the "Donations" link should appear. After a one week contribution period, sometime next Thursday, Aug 11th, James can provide us with the total amount raised. This will provide us with more time to discuss/resolve the changes that are upon us. Thanks, Chris
  15. Cory, Let's at least get September funded to give us a little more breathing time. This will allow us to work out what type of access format is preferred, among other addressable items.
  16. Thank you James. So, just to cover the month of September, I will start a new topic asking for everyone who has chimed in on this topic(and any others interested) who offered to contribute, go ahead and use the "donation" link once they are logged in and donate only $5. I suggest we let this $5 contribution period last one week. After one week, you can then inform us as to how much was raised, if we're short of the $80 mark we'll make up the difference. Please do not inform us before a weeks time is up if we hit the $80 mark.
  17. James, So far, the total number of responses from contributors is between 10/15 people. You already have the donation link set up to your account. If everyone who has chimed in on donating, can contribute $5 at this time(covering 70$ for September) via the donation link, can you make a last payment for September? This, in essence,would be a trial run for the future,with the contributing members knowing that our payment process would evolve via Paypal. It would give everyone a little breathing space and allow more time for you to help the new administrator/others with running the forum via Invision. If our initial $5 contribution total is not enough to cover September, just give us the remaining amount needed.
  18. Sounds like that could be completed, expeditiously. With that said, can we get a headcount of the participating members on this forum. Once we have that number, divide it into the monthly cost. Start a new topic(run for a few days?) asking for a confirmation from participating members if they can contribute the equal monthly fee. See what the response is. Create a link which shows(doesn't give access) participating members the ongoing balance in the Paypal account. Equal payment by all participating members. Personally, I don't want to be reminded that we're going to run short on funds. X amount of paying members x X $amount = coverage.
