my comments: dgh: highlighted in BOLD each comment ending with ****

I suspect this is more: if we erase most everything that was in the plaza in 1963 (except for the TSBD-of course), maybe our tarnished city reputation will be restored, eh? You don't turn a murder site into a carnival site (as it is now) an expect no repercussions? Carry on Gary, carry on! Thanks for posting this Michael....

Best Jack.... David Healy and family

thanks much Tom-Bill and the gals -- appreciate it!

thanks Kathy.... David H.

tnx B.....

I was reading somewhere recently that Ferrie called Belcher Oil in Texas multiple times.Can someone shed some info? What I want to know is if the Belcher who owned the Oil Co. is related to Frank Belcher Sr. former head of the California Bar and an Atty. for John Wayne at one point who Chauncey Holt said was business partner of Phillip Twombley a VP of Pepsi,, the main guy responsible for the fake ID's to allegedly be used in Dealey Plaza according to Holt...Laz (posted for Laz P. -- DHealy 05.12.2011)

come on you old rattlesnake you.... don't tell me you've been off-shore that long. Port-a-gee your 1st language now?

$5.00 bucks says she was in the street (at least a foot beyond the gutter) when she took this pic...

Correction: Credit for that scan goes to Tink Thompson Thanks Craig I did understand that the original drumscan was Josiah Thompson's but i wasn't sure if the version you uploaded had been modified or not. ? Robin. You are correct. That version is modifed from the original scan. I did levels and curves adjustments to restore the tonal balance and I also did some digital "dodging and burning to even out the overall exposure values over the entire image area. which is called, WHAT ELSE: photo alteration... and you guys think altering the Z-film is difficult for those in the know circa 1963-64.... lmao! carry on, Craig!

only Dr. Thompson can use blovating in the proper context eh, Len? Where is Miller when I need him?

Researchers still have an opportunity to email or Twitter Gary Stover to suggest questions he might ask Mary Moorman. Stover says: "From my contact with her, I can tell you she has a very different story from that of her friend and fellow witness, Jean Hill." One can hope he asks good, informed questions. http://www.iantique.com/vid.php?user=News&video_id=138 Question I would have: Did Mary make contemporaneous notes of what she observed? Has she see the exant Z-film? Has she been interviewed in the intervening years so we have a record of what she might have said? It is my recollection that David Lifton was able to speak with her in 1971 but without a tape-recorder. Am I mistaken ?(Don't have my copy of TGZFH with me) Daniel, Mary was interviewed quite a bit on 11-22-63. She has also talked several times afterward. From patspeer.com, chapter 7: Mary Moorman was on the south side of Elm across from the Newmans. She can be seen in the Zapruder film, Nix film, and Muchmore film, as well as stills such as the Bond photo. She took a picture of Kennedy a split second after the impact of the head shot. (3:16 PM 11-22-63 WBAP interview, available on Youtube) (When asked why she took the photo at that moment) “That was the only chance I had. Mine is a Polaroid and I can only take one every ten seconds, and that was at that time whenever I took it. (When asked if she'd realized he'd been shot when she took the picture) "No I didn't. I must have snapped it immediately when he slumped, cause in the picture that’s the way she’s there and he’s slumped over.” (When asked if she'd seen the shooter) "No, I had taken the picture. And then the shots. And I decided it was time to fall on the ground." (3:30 PM 11-22-63 KRLD interview, transcribed by David Lifton and posted online by Jack White, 2-16-07) (When asked if she took her Polaroid picture before or after the first shot) “Evidently, just immediately, as the…cause he was, he was looking, you know, whenever I got the camera focused and then I snapped it in my picture, he slumped over.” (When asked how far way she was from Kennedy at this time) “10 or 15 foot, I, no, more…Because I fall behind my camera.” (When asked where she was standing) “We stepped out in the street. We were right at the car.” (When asked how many shots she heard) “Oh, oh, I don’t know. I think three or four is what I, uh, that I heard…that I’m sure of. Now, I don’t know, there might have been more. It just took seconds for me to realize what was happening. (When asked Kennedy’s response to the first shot.) “He grabbed his chest, and, of course, Mrs. Kennedy jumped up immediately and fell over him, and she said “My God, he’s been shot.” (When asked the reactions of others) “Uh, they hesitated just for a moment ‘cause I think they were like I was, you know—Was that a shot or was it just a backfire, or just what? And then, of course, he clutched himself and they immediately sped up, real fast, you know, like to get out of there. And, uh the police, there were several motorcycles around him, and uh, they stopped, and uh—one or two must have went with him. And one ran up the hill, and a friend that was with me ran up the hill across the street, from where the shots came from.” (When asked where the shots came from) “Oh, Lord. North. Just back there.” (When asked if this meant the shots were fired toward her) “Yes, sir.” “The sound popped, well it just sounded like, well, you know, there might have been a firecracker right there in the car.” (When asked again if her picture was taken before the shot) “Evidently, at the minute that he, that it hit him because, uh, we was we was looking, at me, or I mean, he was looking, you know, at the people when my picture came out. Then he just slumped over, so I must have got it.” (Describing her picture) “You could see he’s clutched, he’s bent over, and she’s…and she hadn’t even gotten up in my picture, and she did get up, stood up, in the car.” (11-22-63 WFAA interview, as quoted in Pictures of the Pain) “My picture when I took it was at the same instant that the President was hit, and that does show in my picture…it shows the President, uh, he slumped…It all happened so suddenly, I don’t think anyone realized, you know, what had happened.” (About the shots) “There was three or four real close together, and it must have been the first one that shot him, ‘cause that was the time I took the picture, and during that time after I took the picture, and the shots were still being fired, I decided I better get on the ground. I was no more than 15 foot from the car, and in the line of fire, evidently.” (11-22-63 statement to Dallas Sheriff’s Department, 19H487, 24H217) “As President Kennedy was opposite me, I took a picture of him. As I snapped the picture of President Kennedy, I heard a shot ring out. President Kennedy kind of slumped over. Then I heard another shot ring out and Mrs. Kennedy jumped up and said “My God, he has been shot!” When I heard these shots ring out, I fell to the ground to keep from being hit myself. I heard three or four shots in all.” (11-23-63 FBI, report, 22H838) “She took a second photograph of the President as his automobile passed her, and just as she snapped the picture, she heard what she first thought was a firecracker and very shortly thereafter heard another similar sound which she later determined to have been gunfire. She knows that she heard two shots and possibly a third shot. She recalls seeing the President sort of “jump” and start to slump sideways in the seat, and seems to recall President Kennedy’s wife scream “My God, he’s been shot!...She recalls that the President’s car was moving at the time she took the second picture, and when she heard the shots, and has the impression that the car either stopped momentarily or hesitated and then drove off in a hurry.” (2-15-69 testimony in the trial of Clay Shaw) “as the Presidential limousine approached me I stepped forward to observe closer in order to take a picture, that is what I planned to do and just what I did....I heard three noises and they sounded like firecrackers.” (1997 interview on KRLD, as posted online by Debra Conway) "Uh, just immediately before the presidential car came into view, we were, you know, there was just tremendous excitement. And my friend who was with me ( Jean Hill ) we were right ready to take the picture. And she's not timid. She, as the car approached us, she did holler for the president. " Mr. President, look this way!” And I stepped out off the curb into the street to take the picture and snapped it immediately. And that evidently was the first shot. You know I could hear the sound. and…" (When asked if she recognized it as a rifle shot) "Oh no. A firecracker, maybe. There was another one just immediately following which I still thought was a firecracker. And then I stepped back up on to the grassy area. I guess just, people were falling around us, you know. Knowing something was wrong. I certainly didn't know what was wrong”. (Appearance in Discovery Channel program Unsolved History: Death in Dealey Plaza, first aired 2-26-2003. Transcript provided by James Fetzer) (Moorman is standing on the grass where she is seen in the Zapruder film) "I just stepped to the, uh, to the edge here, and Jean is hollering, "Look Mr. President, look our way!" and then I snapped the picture, which was at the same instant, evidently, as the bullet hit him, not realizing that's what had happened. But I did hear a noise, and then I could see people around me falling to the ground, or running, and doing--and that led me to know that something was happening."(April, 2007 interview on KRLD) (When asked how many shots she heard) "I heard three." (When asked what they sounded like) "I stepped up to snap a picture and at the instant that I snapped a picture there was a shot. And I know I stepped back a few steps and another shot. And then there was another one shortly in a matter of seconds...The first two were closer together than the last one." You left out that in the latter, Gary Mack had to prompt repeated RETAKES by Mary to keep her from saying WE STEPPED INTO THE STREET. Jack 2003: Pig on a Leash (4 pages) Lifton describes the situation today with the control of the Zapruder film rights by The Sixth Floor Museum. He describes the treatment of Mary Moorman in a recent film shoot for a Discovery Channel special, in which Gary Mack admonishes Mary for “mistakenly” stating that she stepped forward before taking her snapshot, and then back again afterwards, and any hint that the limousine slowed down—as she has maintained over the decades, since the day of the assassination. http://assassinationscience.com/johncostella/hoax/lifton1.html

David, according to the article: "Ms. Moorman's interview at the Brass Armadillo® is open to the public, but viewing space is limited. As The Stover Hour streams the event live, members of iAntique® will be able to watch the interview online and interact on the site's live chat room. The interview will focus on what Ms. Moorman saw the day of the assassination, her relationship with police officers who were in the parade and whether she plans to sell the historic photographs." thank you Michael....

Is Gary Mack coaching Mary Moorman? Is this interview LIVE or on tape?

Don't buy Varnells make believe that JFK's shirt could not do something because he read about it in a book on clothing THEORY. Custom made implies just that....made to the SPECS of the CUSTOMER. What Varnell can't prove is that the shirt JFK wore that day was CUSTOM FIT to the SPECS VARNELL likes to tout. He can't prove the amount of slack present in the shirt AT THE TIME THE BACK WOUND WAS CREATED. Varnell waves his hand mightily, but he offers nothing. Heres the unvarnelled truth. There was a 3+ inch fold of fabric on the back of JFK's jacket in Betzner. That is unimpeachable. Try as he might Varnell can't refute this singular fact. All he can do is cite clothing fit THEORY. He can't cite anything factual about the fit of JFK's shirt at the instant of the back wound. Varnell is all smoke and mirrors and his mirror is now broken. Oh come on, stop the inane accusations, Craigster. For 10 years now you've been somewhat the best lone nut trolls have concerning the Zapruder film. Yet, even then you needed Rollie Zavada to prop you up, and HE knew even less than YOU about film composition, and he admitted such, NOTHING-na-da, not his expertise as seen in JCostella excellent rebuttal to the trolls here http://assassinationscience.com/johncostella/hoax/ .... especially concerning your Gang of 8 (see here... http://assassinationscience.com/johncostella/hoax/thegang.html ) most of the of the 2002 era Z-film trolls have of course, faded into the sunset... Say, isn't it correct David Lifton has spent more time than you operating a 35mm optical film printer? That, in fact, speaks volumes for your expertise.... but let me not interrupt your fantasy.... Ya haven't the chops Craigster to deal with film composition reality, in fact, no one, NO ONE, (currently or in the past) associated with the Gang of 8 knew what an optical film printer is/was till yours truly came along to tell them and YOU of course... been 12 years Craigster... you been flopping around like a beached fish outta water... So, its not: "Varnell is all smoke and mirrors and his mirror is now broken", 'tis you laddie, the craigster! -- Carry on!

see below: we've known about the Craigster and his (ya won't be rewriting any film-photo history while the 6th Floor Mausoleum is around) cohorts-aka The Gang: Joe Durnavich Louis Girdler James Gordon Ron Hepler Barb Junkkarinen Craig Lamson Josiah Thompson David Wimp since 2002. It seems the Craigster is a bit *less* ephemeral than John Costella assumed... http://assassinationscience.com/johncostella/hoax/thegang.html p.s. Shame Dale (want to see my EMMY) Myers won't give up his Lightwave project files...

JFK Assassination Truth ? ? ? ahh geez, another feeble attempt to prop up the Single Bullet Theory (SBT)... you sell buttered popcorn too, Sgt Mikey?

and whose logic be that, young man? Bugliosi's perhaps... You're so transparent even the Craigster can't help ya. Here's a franchisee (SBT in this case) reality, the NAME doesn't necessarily sell an honest nor healthy product... You've been taken son, but I've come to know and expect that of you.... (emphasis: mine)

In Europe we are amazed by the fact that so many people in the US refuse to believe that Obama is an American citizen. I suppose it must be the crazy right-wing media they have in the US. John, The American Civil War is STILL being fought by our brothers south of the Mason-Dixon Line -- and just last evening, according to MSNBC 'Hardball' host Chris Matthews, many members of the U.S. House of Representatives "birther" advocates hail from, TEXAS! Those that deny racism is front and center here, especially from the south, (IMO) are delusional...

lord don't tell me: there was no conspiracy re the murder of Julius Caeser.... phew, glad you're clearing up this conspiracy stuff, Len! Perhaps McKenna can spend time figuring out who was responsible for hurricane Katrina coming into being.... I know, I know, the Borgias' probably did it! Nah, I doubt he'd survive the sitdown....

hey Glen... the silence mystifies, 6700 looks, 85+ responses.... get-a-grip laddie! Z-film alteration is alive and well...

That's not the point, Richard. The point is that Rather was correct...PERIOD!!! Oh Dunc, perhaps its all that hair, YOUR hair... that weighs you down, making faulty conclusions, misinterpretations, etc... there was a lot of that in the 60's if I recall, eh? And, can't get the debate your looking for on your own forum these days? Well now that's sad!

thanks Mike.... David Healy

you may admit at anytime, Sitzman is, at the very least, an interesting character. A character we know next to nothing about... ever see one of these before? speculation of course...

The Voice of Reason in a Sea of Insanity? so this is S.V. Anderson, eh?
