ahhh, wonder why you have to seek solace and hide behind another lone nut, 1964 WCR conclusion excuse maker/cartel, maybe? When is your book coming out?

amen, Paul...

looks like a freelancer out of Iowa doing a real short time towing gig... things are a little slow in Dubuque this time of year...

all these classic deeeee-bators on the nutter side are NOT about case evidence, it's all about the microphone and EGO...

It may surprise some, but rumors exist of case film/photo shenanigans back in the 60's immediately after the Warren Commission Report in 1964 ... and when more case evidence was dissected, specifically the Elm Street events were scrutinized, the conspiracy angle got real legs -- The added photo/film evidence disputes may be simple to understand *create a unique diversion,* with debate? Reason: divert attention to anything other than the case medical evidence. So, here's the problem: The medical evidence/autopsy evidence regarding this case are a royal mess, everywhere and the WC knew it... so did a few others, notable medical experts. The photographic evidence is an important, yes, but a non-critical sideshow...

Based on the past 58 years the 1964 WCR and "analysis" of same has proven least productive. They did get Kennedy's name correct and spelled Dealey Plaza with the 'e', I'll give you that concession. Just to make that clear.

re the above: if, there was NO second camera on the pedestal, then might I advance something obvious, Zapruder shot a pan down Elm St. from the pedestal himself, 15-20 seconds before the limo arrived in Dealey Plaza... the curb down Elm? So? That issue (?) will be covered for the most part by a layer above it, ie., original asphalt footage of the motorcade going down Elm St. and, separate matte artists from a physical film matte black/white overlay of film frame(s). Same for glass artists. A glass artist adds to whats within the confines of a frame, the only restriction is the outer edges of the glass itself, its all art for them. Matte artist adds or deletes components and structures the frame to appear natural with frame-to-frame continuity. Here's the main problem Z-alteration advocates face, we/they have no idea what version of Z-film they are reviewing, disassembling, re-altering. Assumptions are being made, best case film scenario(s) based on what? There's a damn good reason as to why nearly no-one can get authentication and verification of Zapruder film prints they are working with. "The in-camera original Zapruder Film is at NARA or the 6th Floor Museum, we taxpayers paid $16 million bucks for that piece of celluloid and derive no benefits and/or no access, PERIOD. And with out THAT, Z-film researchers are just making noise, sometimes very loud noise as we did in 2001-2005/6/7... In fact, most of us on the possible alteration side of things were invited here by John Simkin in 2004... the debates are over, books written, the bells and whistles fading -- but the Kennedy Assassination itself lingers like a very dark cloud... as such we can only dig deeper in search of resolution... Over the years I have learned there are those that have access close to first day 3 Z-film dupes #0185,6,7 of the "alleged" Zapruder Film #0183. Find #0184. Lest we're stuck with: as Gary Mack so eloquently told me well before his passing, "the in-camera original Zapruder Film will never, EVER appear in a court of law again." He's probably correct... that leaves the original 3 Jamisen film dupes... and maybe, maybe that old camera original isn't just sitting at the bottom of a landfill someplace... Have a good one, pssst! The *other* Chris, Chris Davidson, did the math on the Z-film and covered a lot of bases, hell of an asset... and understand Adobe After Effects, that software literally, nearly wiped out the "optical film houses" in NYC, Hollywood, Chicago, San Francisco and the rest of America. Prior to Adobe ownership it was called COSA After Effects, it mimicked aerial image printing. bi-pack, and the entire film special effects film printing medium in 1993/4, learn how to use it and you'll have access to the entire, Hollywood film special effects secrets... nothing is IMPOSSIBLE... here's a simple defining statement of AAE: "After Effects can be used for keying, tracking, compositing, and animation..." Wikipedia

tremendous amount of work you've done here. I commend you. I took the liberty to highlight a section above. Here is another possible, quite simple solution to the above. Another camera on the pedestal. Or, the Zap camera shooting an additional piece of footage immediately after the lead car drove down Elm Street. Why then? There was nothing on Elm Street except asphalt for 10-15 seconds... (makes no difference what's on the curbs or grass, unless the limo ends up there, then all bets are off for editing a film). An empty Elm Street, same kind of camera (B&H), same film stock, same lighting, same iris opening, same film speed, very same angle to the street... but, zoom out some to be comfortable and not make a mistake. Do a pan down Elm Street only from curb to curb with a little breathing room. You've had the lead car go through, you know roughly what the limo speed will be (so you know how to pan down the street and how fast). Plenty of loaded film... When the pan is complete snap back to the top of Elm Street, zoom all the way in (full tight), roll film, and pick up the lead car turn onto Elm Street, hold and follow the limo down Elm... the rest as they say, "take care of it in post!" There is one thing left... some material(s) are going to extend over the south curb... thats where artistry comes in...

Now why would anyone want to give old Ruth the benefit of an ounce of breathing room here? According to you, I see Ruth put in a tough spot here. Now she's got to come up with a camera! And she knows it. And, with that result you wouldn't be jumping through hoops here... wallah -- she delivers. (but, back on topic) I wouldn't be a bit surprised to find that a person, or person(s) unknown, of the DPD, removed the camera for a **souvenir.** Not to mention a little get back at the Washington boy's expense. --Ya took JFK's body away from our jurisdiction, okay, we'll yank your chain, because WE can... Contrary to broadcast/film media images, SS/FBI were NOT loved everywhere... nor, so the rumor goes, were the other alphabet agencies especially, especially amongst law enforcement units within the USofA's continental boundaries. This camera nonsense is part of testy PR issue, was Oswald an agent of the US government? After all, ALL Marine grunt losers own 4 cameras, defected to the USSR, married a Ruskie girl whose old man had KGB ties.... wanted to promote Fidel, took solo bus trips to Mexico, did a radio gig, was familiar with US embassies, stayed in upscale hotels when abroad, visited Japanese pillow houses, charged with nothing after promoting possible treason, had his very own FBI contact person -- not bad for a guy making less than a $100 bucks a week, a real grunt Marine who had a SECRET security clearance.... and shot and killed by a Dallas pimp, bar owner with organized crime connections, probable gun runner... Think Ruth might get a lick of the Hades treatment? Who might be in-charge of finding ice water? Is there's justice? Oh, here's another tid-bit, I bet the USMarine Corps wishes, WISHES LHO had been a honorably discharged member of the USCoast Guard... take that Vinnie Bugliosi...

Amazing? What's amazing is that someone is amazed, especially after the past 5-10 years. Years of flagrant lying to make "things" look a little less incriminating... LBJ knew, KNEW how JFK's demise was going to look re the general public. And those pesky New Englanders and Democrats in general, not to mention to federal investigators but to those elected officials that knew his LBJ's foibles and tendencies. He was taking a battering from the anti-war crowd and came to understand the Oval Office could chew you up into small chunks and spit you across the Potomac... not to mention the industrial military complex and of course his best buddy of all time (lmao) RFK was bearing down on his beloved Texan rear end handwriting was on the wall... And, Abe Fortas resigned from the Supreme Court (1969)under a cloud AND a threat of impeachment (a Wall Street bribe???) the likes of a LBJ would understand... I wonder why... resignation was in the air I guess... Maybe things are much simpler than another convoluted, unclear blue-blood conspiracy theory, eh?

hey Ron, Naive is an action word for *HOPE/WISH*.

a chaser is the beer AFTER the shot of whisky... 😇

are you speaking from a position of authority, Mr Bojczuk? Explain to us how you divined the above conclusion -or- are you just breaking wind with your prognostications? Your demeaning responses are crafted tight, so tight in fact one becomes very curious as to whose your dog in this discussion? What is the lineage of the image you made your color distorted determinations from? What distortion, what made the distortion and who made said distortion? However, I suppose you won't clarify because you can't... and simply don't know...

my-oh-my... we wrote a book on Z-film alteration 20 years ago and listen to you... further that, if someone, someplace is drawing up a court case for some court proceeding anywhere on the map they certainly aren't going to stroke your ego by posting what the do and don't know about optical film special effects... Based on your own experience, please tell us why it wasn't altered - then I will give you 4 reasons as to why it MAY have been altered...

"impossible with 1963 technology"? please tell us why. I'd love to hear your reasoning. Then I'll direct you to thousands of Hollywood film periodical articles which seem to suggest otherwise. Pasting? LMAO!

I believe the first *formal* viewing of the Z-film by the Warren Commission was the end of Feb 1964. More than enough time to make all sorts of changes to the Z-film -- and -- the next 50 years to continue making changes, if so desired...

wounded-in-action

all this political/intellectual bravado yet Joe's numbers are climbing. Maybe the Putin-ites need to be burped?

ya might want to check out Dr. John Costella's OWN words on the subject: there's a 10 min interview I did with him during the 2003 Zapruder Film Symposium at Univ. of Minnesota... His entire Z-film presentation is on this YouTube channel site. Back in those days we could only upload in 10 minute segments to YouTube. And yes, John did correct frames for issues, not sure of all of them at the moment, lens issues, blur, etc if I recall...

said what?

If you have used Adobe After Effects and/or similar type software, you've used the very software that shut down the optical printing houses in NYC, Chicago, LA, San Fran and a few other film centers around the world...

why? some here are well aware of specific Hollywood types of optical film printing. And a very long history of film special effects. Dating back at least 100 years... Facts being what they are and early 1960 Optical Film Printing techniques, what you see in the current alleged in-camera Zapruder film maybe, just maybe the output of an assassination altered film. And you haven't a clue as to what your looking at... Get into Raymond Fielding's The Technique of Special Effects Cinematography 1965, find out why Rollie Zavada flew to Florida for explanations after he and I spoke... check out the Bibliography -- no big shakes, educate yourself...

duh... You still posting from that Wendy's way up that in the woods.... re your link above, here is a direct quote from a responder to Dear Mr. Roe. quote on george.t.gram 2h You are right on this, but to clarify the argument, which I’m not sure I agree with either, the issue is not with the mail the issue is that the money order was allegedly deposited in First National Bank by Klein’s the very next day. Klein’s had a street address, not a P.O. Box, so the letter would have needed to be sorted, sent out for delivery, received, processed, brought to the bank and deposited all before around 5 p.m. on March 13th. Again this is not a hill I would die on and I think a rifle was indeed ordered, but this is the argument DiEugenio is making. quote off

that in and of itself is a conspiracy theory... the entire WC committed the conspiratorial act against Oswald -- and your "proper conclusion," lmao, that sir, is why we have trials, and until that time and place innocent until proven guilty. To opine anything thing else is wishful thinking, an act of PR, of course if you were in Russia you may get away with it...

would there be value having a clean Elm Street pan , say within 10 minutes of the motorcade traversing the same route, filmed from the exact same pedestal Zapruder stands on. using a similar B%H camera nearly the same lens and exact same type of film used in the Zap camera--- for post editing of the scene happening on Elm St. a few minutes later> Lens wide enough to grab the crowd on both sides of Elm St..... could be #0184?
