the logic of Zapruder film alteration
Jonathan Cohen replied to Roger Odisio's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
Irrelevant. It is still just one of many assassination film and photo records, and they all form a self-authenticating whole. You cannot alter one without giving away the whole game. This has absolutely nothing to do with whether the Zapruder film was altered or not. Roger, this is nonsense. First of all, why have shooters firing from the front in the first place if you're trying to frame an assassin allegedly firing from the rear? They have been addressed directly, repeatedly, for decades by the top researchers in this case, the majority of whom reject this fanciful mass alteration theorizing. Given available technology, there is no possible way the Zapruder film could have been altered to the extent some people believe. -
RUTH and BARD . . . A Review
Jonathan Cohen replied to Leslie Sharp's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
I believe this is just more pointless "what if," evidence-free insinuations about the Paines. -
Rob Reiner talks about two Oswalds
Jonathan Cohen replied to Jim Hargrove's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
And once again Jim Hargrove is re-posting the same thing year after year, thread after thread, while refusing to acknowledge the mountain of evidence completely discrediting Wilcott's claims (which Tracy has so helpfully summarized below. There was no such thing as the "Oswald Project." https://wtracyparnell.blogspot.com/2017/03/james-wilcott.html -
the logic of Zapruder film alteration
Jonathan Cohen replied to Roger Odisio's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
I've said it before, but most people just wave it away. How can you massively alter one of the assassination films without knowing if other films and photos of the same scene would surface and immediately contradict the fakery? -
Matt, it would seem the only person who could answer this question is Wilkinson, since we have no idea what, if any, processing she and her colleagues did on the images. Also, I know the more zealous alterationists here dismiss anything Farid says, but his explanation for the back of the head shadow satisfies me.

Not in evidence now, no. But how could conspirators be sure one wouldn't surface at some point? I'm not mocking anything. I'm trying to understand the logic of (poorly?) editing only one of the films without knowing if other films/photos would surface and render the original alteration exposed as fake for all to see. The people who have allegedly proven the Zapruder film to be a forgery have been working on an explanation for more than a decade, and their claims have not been subjected to peer review. I'll be curious to see what they come up with.

If "plotters" painted a "black patch" onto Kennedy's head in the Zapruder film, how could they be confident that other films and photos taken in the Plaza that day wouldn't immediately expose their obvious forgery? How could they afford to take that risk? Further, how can any "logarithmic" analysis have validity unless it is applied to the actual original film (or a first generation copy)? Otherwise, we're in Tom Wilson territory ...

Prouty on Vietnam: NSAM 263 and 273 60 years on
Jonathan Cohen replied to James DiEugenio's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
I don't find it bizarre in the least that three strange men found in the middle of the crime scene were taken into custody, nor do I find it bizarre that they were held for several days while the Dallas Police had their hands full with much more important matters. -

Jonathan Cohen replied to James DiEugenio's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
While you might find the tramps arrest "bizarre," thanks to the research of Mary and Ray LaFontaine, we know definitively that the three tramps in the photographs were, in fact, actual tramps - and not CIA agents or anything of the sort. -
Theorist shamers should be ashamed of themselves.
Jonathan Cohen replied to Sandy Larsen's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
You said: "Because to WC apologists, all CTers promote far-fetched beliefs." Before we go further, let's be clear: Is that actually your belief? Or rather, were you just mocking Jeremy's comment about moderators? -
Rob Reiner talks about two Oswalds
Jonathan Cohen replied to Jim Hargrove's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
And then I linked you to another thread here. Is that enough for you? You've got to be joking if you think you can somehow extrapolate that to accurately interpret his movements inside the theater. That's not how real research is conducted. And you truly do not have a clue what you're talking about in that regard. -
Rob Reiner talks about two Oswalds
Jonathan Cohen replied to Jim Hargrove's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
What "assertion" ? You asked about two Oswalds in the theater and I told you it was mentioned in Douglass' book. What else is it that you'd like me to do? Total and complete speculation. Neither you nor anyone other than Oswald himself can say for sure what he "would be cognizant" of. -

Texas Theater employee Butch Burroughs' credibility on the issue of Oswald's movements/arrest is also debated here: -
Nixon and the assassination.
Jonathan Cohen replied to Cory Santos's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
Who cares if he was able to establish it or not? You certainly cannot establish it one way or the other either. The only "evidence" I'm aware of ever being presented that Hunt was there was the mistaken identification of him as one of the tramps. Are you aware of any other actual evidence to support his presence in Dallas that day? -
Rob Reiner talks about two Oswalds
Jonathan Cohen replied to Jim Hargrove's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
Detail of what? It's in his book which I don't have it handy, so if you're curious, you can check it for yourself. It has also been discussed in many prior forum threads, which can be searched. I have no idea, and neither can anyone else other than Oswald himself. We have no choice but to speculate, which leads nowhere. -
Rob Reiner talks about two Oswalds
Jonathan Cohen replied to Jim Hargrove's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
That was discussed in Jim Douglass' book but there are ample other explanations for the alleged incident therein that do not involve a secret, decades-long government-funded doppelganger program. -
Rob Reiner talks about two Oswalds
Jonathan Cohen replied to Jim Hargrove's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
No, it actually was not real in the slightest, which is why it is the laughingstock of the JFK research community. There is absolutely ZERO hard evidence supporting the notion that Lee Harvey Oswald had a Hungarian-born, Russian-speaking doppelganger. Any "sightings" or alleged impersonations of Oswald fall into a completely different category than that nonsense. -

Nixon and the assassination.
Jonathan Cohen replied to Cory Santos's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
So what? That in and of itself is not in any way proof that he was physically in Dallas that day. And by the way, he WON the suit originally.
