  1. here is another that was posted on here re Altgens by John Woods one of our foremost assassination photograph collectors b--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    that is all i have come across for now John if i find anything further as well as in wiesberg i shall post the info for you...b

    QUOTE

    There are at least two images attributed to Altgens which he disavowed.

    Most notably the one showing Zapruder and Sitzman leaving the pedestal

    I'd like to see a citation for this claim. Even if true it was probably a case of mistaken atribution. If the conspirators wanted to fake a photo why atribute it to a known photographer who wasn't in on the plot. There was another photo of 'Mr. Z' and Stizman near the pedestal. Any evidence that eithe rof those were faked?

    Len,

    I work on this alleged film since the 1970's and have concluded that two out-focus slides were

    exposed, developed by the Kodak Company and than disappeared. I have made several efforts

    to obtain the original slides via the inidivual who may have these slides.

  2. i have found this to a link here on the sf to altgens there may be further information within such.....Robin..i do not find you a whiner nor a quiter i do think you are very sincere in your studies...or you certainly would never have put the time ,effort and money into your grand photo site with the assistance of duncan many thanks to you both..b

    The matter of Altgens photos is very suspicious.

    The foremost early researchers of photos were Robert Cutler and Richard Sprague.

    On their 1970 map of Dealey Plaza in COMPUTERS AND AUTOMATION they show

    only FOUR Altgens photos:

    2. subject not shown, Main and Houston

    3. subject not shown, Main and Houston

    6. limo on Elm, front view, shot to throat

    7. limo on Elm, back view, Hill on trunk

    Note that these two foremost experts did not tell about Altgens exposures

    1, 4, 5 and 8.

    Altgens himself disavowed taking exposures 5 and 8.

    In Trask we learn that negative numbers did not correspond to the photo

    numbers.

    First exposure...negative 2 (vertical shot motorcade on Main)

    Second exposure...negative 3 (horizontal shot motorcade on Main)

    Third exposure...negative 4 (limo turning from Main to Houston)

    Fourth exposure...negative 5 (limo half way down Houston, from rear)

    Fifth exposure...negative 6 (limo coming down Elm, JFK hit)

    Sixth exposure...negative 7 (limo heading to underpass, Hill on trunk)

    Seventh final exposure...negative 8 (pedestal, man in hat, Hesters)

    (the above led to some researchers confusing the Altgen numbers)

    Altgens, an experienced newsman, lingered in the plaza for several

    minutes. WHY did he not take a few more exposures? He is seen in

    about half a dozen other photos, but is not taking any exposures.

    Altgens 8 is provably taken from the middle of Elm, farther west than

    6 and 7. He took NO additional photos after he crossed to the knoll

    though he was there several minutes, and his camera was loaded.

  3. Very few researchers seem interested in doing photoanalysis.

    I have just been considering comparing Z 204 and Willis 5 (same moment).

    There are some interesting observations to be made.

    But I am about to go to bed and will be gone much of tomorrow. Someone

    may want to see whether they have any observations.

    Jack

    Jack.

    This is the problem as i see it.

    Since you have recently stated that you beleive that ALL of the photo's and films have been tampered with, then what is the point of posting images.

    at any time during the discussion, you can simply stop the thread dead in it's track's by asserting that the images posted are bogus and have been altered.

    This becomes tedious and very frustrating at times.

    Sorry Jack

    That's just the way i see it.

    I agree 1000%.

    fellas imo if you are really interested then you will continue with your studies if not you will fall out, to me it is that simple...i have read jack and others make similar statements down through the years but many who have carry on...continuously .......i think it depends on how strong ones interest is in the first place and the reason why they are here ...if for such as any personal gRATITUDE IN ANY WAY THEN IMO FORGET IT..IF TO try to HElP OR stay up on the latest research WHATEVER ..sorry caps..and the truth then the great interest never ebbs..it is in the end your personal choice the research never stops when anyone leaves no one is ever ireplaceable though at times there is a large hole left imo..now researchers...such as jack imo should be thanked and not continuously criticized , but imo he is...he has given more and taken more than any here and for over 40 years in this work...what i think is that should warrant some gratitude instead of continuously being taken for granted and free to aim many pot shots at.. but.that's m/o thanks much b...take care all...fwiw..

    great altgens robin...

  4. Thanx Jerry. So in all instances there is a taller box. (However I have an as yet uresloved issue with Allan, being the location of the pipes. He places them too far to the left.) Best to you too. Thank you.

    Hi john GOING BY memory and if serving me the pipes were moved...during the restoring of the building..that could possibly change many a research finding .if the views and measurements are now used as a given....b

  5. Well...back to the drawing board. Costella has sent me a SUPERIOR frame than the very

    dark Groden frame I used. In it, it can be seen that the blurry object is the JFK limo, not

    a motorcycle, even though it is smaller than the Curry car ahead of it. I find this rather

    curious, but will do a new composite and post it. You will be able to see why I think it

    looks like a motorcycle.

    Jack

    Here is my revised study using the Costella frames. However, I am still puzzled that

    my enhancement of the dark Groden frame looks much more like a motorcycle than

    the limo. I am surprised that a much clearer copy exists than Groden's...and that the

    frame Costella calls the "previous frame" is missing from Groden's. I wonder why. I am

    also puzzled by the brown shape in my enhancement that looks like the saddlebags

    on the rear of a motorcycle. There is nothing like that on the limo. The computer

    enhancement brought that out, not me. It appears to be much smaller than the limo

    and is leaning to the left like a motorcycle might. And the enhancement seems to

    show a white helmet like the motorcops.

    Comments invited.

    Jack

    IN THE DARK GRODEN BELL FRAME IT DOES GIVE THE APPEARANCE OF A MOTORCYCLE AND SADDLE BAGS WELL IMO..I HAVE NO IDEA WHY SUCH A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE FRAMES COULD BE YOU HAVE FOUND ANOTHER OOPS JACK.. :lol: BEST B..

  6. WITH PERMISSION DOUG'S COMMENTS...

    Mr. Rather, you describe 5 different events in this film that do not exist in the extant Zapruder film (stored in the National Archives).

    The First Event “The Presidents Lincoln automobile...Made a turn, a left turn off of Houston Street in Dallas onto Elm Street...as the car made the turn, completed the turn went below the window.”

    I defy anyone to find the President’s Limo making this turn in the extant film. The film we have now starts with the limo already on Elm Street after it has made this turn.

    The Second Event, “it (the Limo) got about 35 yards from the base of the building (TSBD)...President Kennedy had just put his right hand up to the side of his right eye, it appeared that he was perhaps brushing back his hair or rubbing his eyebrow...At almost the instant the President put his hand up to his eyebrow...on the right side of his face...The President lurched forward just a bit, uh, it was obvious he had been hit in the movie.”

    In the extant film, the President is hit for the first time while he is obscured by the Stemmons Freeway sign. It’s also interesting, Mr. Rather, that you do not mention anything about the limo being hidden behind this sign as it is in the extant film.

    The Third Event, “Mrs. Kennedy did not appear to be aware that he was hit but Governor Connally in the seat just in front of the President...seemly heard the shot..or sensed that something was wrong...Governor Connally whose coat button was open turned in such a way to extend his right hand out towards the President and the Governor seemed to have a look on his face that might say, “what is it? What happened?” and as he turned he exposed his entire shirt front and chest because his coat was unbuttoned...at that moment a shot very clearly hit the part of the Governor. He was wounded once with a chest shot, this we now know....”.

    What we now know, and one of the few things not in dispute, is that Connally was struck in the back by a bullet, not in the chest. The exit wound was in the chest. Therefore, what you are describing Mr. Rather, is a shot exiting the chest of Connally as he is turned, facing the President. There can be only one point of origin for this shot. It had to have been fired from in front of the limo, above, and to the left. Again, if you are facing the alleged assassin in the 6th floor window you cannot be struck in the back by one of his bullets. So much for the single bullet theory.

    There is a recently released phone transcript between President Johnson and FBI Director Hoover that supports your assessment, Mr. Rather, of Connally’s position at the time he was shot.

    From November 29, 1963;

    LBJ: “How did it happen they hit Connally?”

    JEH: “Connally turned...to the President...when the first shot was fired...and I think in that turning...it was where he got hit.”

    LBJ: “If he hadn’t turned..he probably wouldn’t have got hit?”

    JEH: “I thing that is very likely.”

    LBJ: “Would the President ‘ve got hit the second one?”

    JEH: “No, the President wasn’t hit with the second one.”

    LBJ: “I say, if Connally hadn’t been in his way?”

    JEH: “Oh, yes..yes...the President would no doubt have been hit.”

    LBJ: “He would have been hit three times?”

    JEH: “He would have been hit three times..”

    The Fourth Event, “Mrs. Connally immediately...threw herself over the Governor...and at that instant the second shot, the third shot total but the second shot hit President Kennedy and there was no doubt there, his head...went forward with considerable violence...Mrs. Kennedy stood up immediately...”

    We all know now that the extant film shows just the opposite in regards to the movement of the President’s head. It goes violently backwards. Even though you, Mr. Rather have since apologized for this supposed gaff. I believe your original assessment to be the truth, as it is backed up by the Dealey Plaza Eyewitnesses.

    The Fifth Event, “Mrs. Kennedy was prone, uh face down on the back of the car on the trunk...the Secret Service man (Clint Hill) leaned over put his hands on her shoulders and shoved her back into the car she seemed to be in danger of perhaps rolling or falling off the back.”

    This is corroborated by Secret Service Agent Clint Hills WC testimony, but this is not what we see in the extant film. Clint Hill never touches Mrs. Kennedy.

    The only logical conclusion that can be drawn from your narrative, Mr. Rather, is that you were watching a Zapruder film different from the one the rest of us have seen.

    If you would broadcast these two films side by side along with your original commentary, you have the ability to stand history on its head. Consider the legacy you could leave behind by taking this dramatic step. Our democracy as a whole would be forever in you debt.

    Sincerely

    CBS Evening News

    Subject: Dan Rather and the Zapruder film

    Mr. Rather,

    Congratulations on your many years of judicious investigative reporting with CBS News. Now that you have announced your upcoming retirement, it offers the ideal chance to rewrite the last 41 years of history. You could help untangle the clustered innuendo and speculation surrounding the assassination of President John F.. Kennedy.

    You are one of only a few select people who have seen the original Zapruder film. Your in depth description of this film on CBS Radio back in November of 1963, differs greatly on five separate events when compared to the Zapruder film seen by the rest of the world. Your statement at that time that the film is “exactly 20 seconds in length”, is by itself mystifying, especially when you consider that the extant film in the National Archives is 27 seconds in length, has two splices, and starts several hundred feet past the point where you, Mr. Rather, first saw the limo come into view. The most concise proof of this is to view both films running simultaneously side-by-side.

    First let me refresh everyone’s memory on the Zapruder film after it was developed on November 22, 1963. The Secret Service had obtained two copies of the film from Zapruder on the day of the assassination. LIFE had secured the rights to the film the next day and had a copy in the hands of their processors by that night. LIFE had scrapped their previous magazine story for the upcoming issue due out on November 29th and had decided to run frames from the Zapruder film in it’s place.

    The official story has you, Mr. Rather, viewing the film in Zapruder’s office. The ground rules laid out to you were that you could only view the film once, without taking notes, and would then have to enter a bid. After viewing the film, you told Zapruder’s lawyer that you would have to consult New York for approval of the bid. You then dashed out of Zapruder’s office and ran the 10 blocks or so to the Dallas CBS affiliate.

    The unofficial story also has you viewing the Zapruder film on repeated showings with either the Secret Service or the FBI in the local TV studio. This would account for the extremely detailed CBS Radio interview you then gave..

    The following is from your CBS Radio interview with Hughes Rude and Richard (Dick) C. Hotelett. (from Pictures of the Pain, pages 86 to 89)

    Hughes: Dick, ah, Dan Rather just came onto the studio, ah Dan we’ve just been discussing this statement

    just made by Texas Attorney General Waggoner Carr about a full and complete investigation that

    is going to be carried out and so on ... what do you have that’s new, anything?

    Dan: Well I’m not sure that this is the proper context in which to put it ... but as you may know Hughes

    I, I ... have just returned from seeing a movie ... which clearly shows in some great detail the exact

    moments preceding, the exact moments of, the President’s assassination which clears up some of

    the points that have been rather vague up until this time. Now may not be the time or the place to

    discuss that, perhaps Dick uh ...

    Dick: No I think it is ... uh, Dan ... I think it fits right into the context of what we’ve been saying.

    Dan: Well let me tell you then, give you a word picture that we have just seen. The President’s

    automobile which was proceeded by only one other car containing Secret Service Agents ... the

    President’s open black Lincoln automobile ... made a turn, a left turn off of Houston Street onto

    Elm Street, this was right on the fringe area of the downtown area. This left turn was made right

    below the window from which the shot was fired ... went on past the building keep in mind the

    window was on the sixth floor ... it got about 35 yards from the base of the building that is if you

    had dropped a plumb line from the window to the sidewalk to the President’s car was around 35

    yards from that spot ... President Kennedy had just put his right hand up to the side of his right

    eye, it appeared that he was perhaps brushing back his hair or rubbing his eyebrow. Mrs.

    Kennedy was not looking in his direction. In front of them in the jump seat of the Lincoln ...

    were Governor and Mrs. Connally. The Governor ,as was the President was on the side of the car

    of the building in which the assassin was located. Mrs. Kennedy and Mrs. Connally were on the

    opposite side, two Secret Service men on the front seat. At almost the instant the President put

    his hand up to his eyebrow ... on the right side of his face, with Mrs. Kennedy looking away ...

    the President lurched forward just a bit, uh, it was obvious he had been hit in the movie but you

    had to be looking very closely to see it. Mrs. Kennedy did not appear to be aware that he was hit

    but Governor Connally in the seat just in front of the President ... seemly heard the shot ... or

    sensed that something was wrong ... Governor Connally whose coat button was opened turned in

    such a way to extend his right hand out towards the President and the Governor seemed to have

    a look on his face that might say, “What is it? What happened?” and as he turned he exposed his

    entire shirt front and chest because his coat was unbuttoned ... at that moment a shot very clearly

    hit the part of the Governor. He was wounded once with a chest shot, this we now know ... uh

    the Governor fell back in his seat ... Mrs. Connaly immediately fell over the Governor, uh, I say

    fell, she threw herself over the Governor ... and at that instant the second shot the third shot total

    but the second shot hit President Kennedy and there was no doubt there, his head ... went

    forward with considerable violence ... Mrs. Kennedy stood up immediately her mouth wide open

    ... the President slumped over against Mrs. Kennedy almost toppling her over as she was stand-

    ing ... Mrs. Kennedy then threw herself out of the back seat of the car onto the trunk of the car

    almost on all fours stretched out over the trunk of the car ... there was a Secret Service man stand

    ing on the back bumper ... it would appear that Mrs. Kennedy was either trying to get herself out

    of what she knew instinctively was danger or perhaps was trying to grab the Secret Service man

    and pull him into the backseat of the car for help at any rate Mrs. Kennedy was prone, uh face

    down on the back of the car on the trunk ... the Secret Service man leaned over put his hands on

    her shoulders and shoved her back into the car she seemed to be in danger of rolling or falling off

    the back. A Secret Service man in the front seat of the car uh was already on the telephone per-

    haps he had been on the phone all along it was not clear and the car sped away.

    Dick: The car never stopped did it?

    Dan: The car never stopped, it never paused.

    Hughes: How long did this all take, Dan? In a matter of seconds?

    Dan: Well, the complete scene that I just described to you covers exactly 20 seconds that is from the

    time the car made the turn until the car disappeared onto an underpass.

    Dick: Is it clear, is it that the President was hit twice?

    Dan: It was very clear that the President was hit twice. He was hit, Governor Connally was hit and

    the Gov ... uh the President was hit again.

    Hughes: How long a time did the actual three shots take from the first shot until the final shot, Dan?

    Dan: Not more than five seconds and I ... am inclined to think slightly less than that perhaps.

    Hughes: There [sic] must have been very grim pictures to watch, especially today.

    Dick: What was the source of these pictures, Dan?

    Dan: An amateur photographer, had an 8 millimeter color uh camera he had positioned himself up

    off the sidewalk on an old street lamp base, he was above the heads of the crowd and was

    facing the automobile.

    Dick: Of course he was focused on the automobile so there’s no indication of where the shots

    came from.

    Dan: No, he was focused on the automobile with his back or side to the window from which the shots

    came. Only the automobile was shown in the film.

  8. jack ; james simmons could possibly have been a witness to the motorcycle...

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    JAMES SIMMONS; http://jfkassassination.net/russ/testimony/simmons_j.htm

    Well, he fell and there was matter and a halo of blood.

    Q: Which way did he fall?

    A: To his left.

    Q: What did the limousine do then?

    A: It paused and then accelerated real fast after the motorcycle got out the way.

    Q: Did it go under the Triple Overpass?

    A: Yes, sir, went directly under us. Q: It went under you because you were standing on the overpass?

    A: Yes, sir.

    Q: At the time you saw this red halo, what did that appear to you to be?

    A: To the left side of his head.

    Q: Can you tell us what direction this went in, this matter?

    A: It went over the side of the car.

    Q: Which side of the car?

    A: The left side.

  9. - Believe Oswald fired any shots - Yes, all of them.

    - Believe Oswald killed Tippit - Yes.

    - Believe the single bullet theory is possible - No, I think it is probable.

    - Believe shots were fired from the front, back or both directions. - From behind only.

    - Can assess the performance of the Secret Service in Dallas. - I think they were slow to react.

    - Think LBJ and/or other high public officials were involved - No.

    eight, nine, or ten shots appear to have been fired from six different locations.

    There's no evidence to substantiate this claim, so why keep making it?

    Paul.

    Bullet holes in the limousine and extra bullets in Dealey Plaza (Extended English Version)

  10. HOW ABOUT BILL KELLY AND DR FETZER AS WELL AS ONE TEXAN CALLED JACK WHITE... :huh: b

    But Bernice....Jim and I (and even you) are but mere supernumeraries on this grand proscenium. ;)

    Jack

    aw and here i thought i was just part of the pack rats club...and proud of it.... :rolleyes::lol: b

    AHEM....OK KATHY ...ATTENTION I NOMINATE ONE MAJOR JOHN SIMKIN :D HE DOES PAY THE BILLS....... :rolleyes::lol::blink: b

  11. I'd like to know if you:

    - Believe Oswald fired any shots NO

    - Believe Oswald killed Tippit NO

    - Believe the single bullet theory is possible NO

    - Believe shots were fired from the front, back or both directions BOTH

    - Can assess the performance of the Secret Service in Dallas WHAT PERFORMANCE B)

    - Think LBJ and/or other high public officials were involved YES

    I'll get things started by saying that I think Oswald fired no weapons that day. I tend to agree with Jim Garrison that he was some sort of intelligence operative, who was assigned at the time of the assassination to infiltrate a group he was told was planning on murdering JFK. I don't think Oswald killed Tippit. I think the single bullet theory is scientifically impossible. I think shots were fired from at least two directions (at least one rear location and one front location). I think the Secret Service failed miserably on the day of the assassination, and I can't accept that their failure was due merely to incompetence. I think Greer, Kellerman and Emory Roberts, at the very least, had prior knowledge of the assassination. I think LBJ and other high public officials (Hoover, McGeorge Bundy, among others) were active participants in the conspiracy and coverup.

    In short, I think there was a massive conspiracy to kill John F. Kennedy and coverup the crime afterwards. I think the most powerful forces in our society at that time were involved. AGREED B)

    So, what's your take? For once, let's hear everyone's opinion without referencing the perceived shortcomings of other posters. Where do you stand?
