    This is what I told the Mary Ferrell Foundation folks: "We need to communicate the following to the National Archives: 'We are watching you: - Very Closely - Very Respectfully'" The latter "We" obviously refers to "We The People".

    Ramon... I've been doing the same for years but I don't like pointing out the "how" because when "the powers that be" notice the traffic increase they frequently close the "hole". so please "keep a lid on it" Chris: That database is frozen since May 12, 2008: http://www.archives.gov/research/jfk/search.html I got a full copy, which is available to anybody who wants it. I can also make custom queries. You are correct, at some point I had a computer hitting the NARA site 24x7, so they blocked access to my IP address. I solved the problem by renting another server in a different network. I was able to finish the job with a technique called Stealth Scrapping. -Ramon

    This is the URL to the official database from the National Archives: http://www.nara.gov/cgi-bin/starfinder.exe/0?path=jfkcnew.txt&id=demo&pass=&OK=OK and this is the URL of the copy that I obtained (*). It contains the same records, but they are actually usable. http://s18283067.onlinehome-server.com/~ramon/jfk-collection/ (*) I used a technique called "web scrapping" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_scraping

    Hi Bill: The information that my esteemed Jeff Morley has been publicizing is rather poor and incomplete. With all due respect but the material in his (much appreciated and otherwise admired) JFK Facts site has become a "One Trick Pony". For starters, Jeff only knows of records from one agency, the CIA. As an example, let's see the information about Orlando Bosch: http://jfkfacts.org/assassination/what-is-the-cia-hiding-about-orlando-bosch/ (scroll down, to my comment) According to Jeff, there are 6 records, for a total of 606 pages. However, according to the database that I obtained (if you get my drift) from the National Archives, the number of records is 64 and the number of pages, 965 The difference in the official count respect to Jim Garrison and other protagonists is remarkable. I have been sending many posts like that one to Jeff, but I guess he is too busy to publish them. I donated the full database to the Mary Ferrell Foundation but they seem to be sitting on their hands. Were our admired heroine still with us, no doubt she would publish it. -Ramon

    Having said that... Here's a trick to download files from YouTube: Let's say that the URL is: www.youtube.com/whatever. Just add the 2 letters "ss" before "youtube", like so: www.ssyoutube.com/whatever. You will be downloading the MP4 file to your hard disk. BUT it would be silly, since you can find the same video clip in the TOP QUALITY that I paid for, in my Google Drive. (The Google Drive is a temporary poor man's website). A manger.

    Hi Tom: Please look the repository structure, closely. At the top of each project's folder, I have placed the files for end users, in convenient formats that are "playable" by many applications: MP4, etc. The intended target of the "Support Files" are people who want to investigate the matter further, in order to confirm or deny my results. This is an open and competitive process. For example, a person (say, Walter Alvarez -out of filial loyalty- or Gerald Posner) who claims that it is possible to have a Jet Effect spewing from a wide open gaping wound and still produce a violent back snap ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKC_zBA50HA ...should feel free to take my files, hire an expert(s) with a PhD in FEA and/or CFD (*), perform his simulations, show us a John Kennedy achieving airborne propulsion AND POST his Support Files. That is the only way Science (with a capital "S") works. Alternatively, s/he should be free to use his/her own files which must be posted for the world to see. By definition, Science must be repeatable. This is known as "Peer Review" and "Trial by Fire". What I am doing is the equivalent to Linux and Open Source Software in general. 99.9% of the users do not need the source code, but it is intellectually honest to include it. All those numbered references (citations) at the bottom of research papers are also equivalent. Notice the 9 tags at the top of this thread. Regards, -Ramon (*) I can recommend some.

    Well, I'll be... I was under the impression that Mr. Byrd showed off the memento only among his intimate circle.

    I'm sorry if I misstated, I'm curious about the sixth floor window closest to the overpass, to the far left of the "snipers nest" as we look at the TSBD in that graphic. I understood exactly what you meant, Chris, and posted the 2 images as counter evidence. [bTW:There is some silly version that has Mr. David Harold Byrd asking for that particular window as a souvenir/trophy since the fatal shot supposedly originated from there.] When I replied to your post, I was under the impression that JFK was deep into the seat at the time Jackie was attempting to escape in irrational horror, and therefore only a helicopter/balloon would have provided the required line of sight. However, upon close scrutiny at the Z film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sqk3sdfXFkc one notices that something is preventing Kennedy from falling all the way down: the steel braces. There was line of sight, after all. Let me change my answer, then: the head of the subject remains so peaceful that it could not have been impacted by a high speed projectile after the violent back snap.

    Your trajectory does not seem feasible, Chris: Another view:
  12. Ramon F. Herrera
    Chris: That is so simple, I don't believe it qualifies as simulation. There are no forces, fields, etc. involved. All you need to verify is Line of Sight. Such property is required in microwave communications (as opposed to AM and FM broadcasts, where the waves bounce off the ionosphere and thus can follow earth's curve) and companies perform that kind of studies. See this related discussion: http://jfkfacts.org/assassination/ballistics-experts-agree-oswald-lone-gunman/#comment-822670

    Yes and yes. In fact, one of THE most important simulations will be an exhaustive search, from every possible angle/location, even water drains, where it will be determined that the following is not possible, unless we use some sort of satellite-based, laser-powered, magnetic bullet-sucking contraption, fired from a flying saucer (piloted by Elvis, of course). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKC_zBA50HA -RFH

    This is one of the best findings so far: a multi-platform, open source application called "Slicer". See the manual here: https://goo.gl/da4mcQ [For those unfamiliar with Google Drive, you only click ONCE] [Click inside "Documentation" - The manual is: "Slicer Welcome Tutorial.pdf"] I prepared a 1-2-3, express way to be up and running in a matter of minutes. ============================================================== Slicer's Web Page: http://www.slicer.org/ Next: Next: and finally: Is that cool, or what ????? :-) -RFH

    This should be of interest, at the very least to: - Chris Newton - Glenn Nall - Jon Tidd - Bob Prudhomme - Yours Truly - etc. I recently contacted the following scientific research organization, located in Barcelona, Spain, in order to see whether they are willing and able to perform precise simulations of the fatal shot: http://www.idrasimulation.com/brain-impact-with-alya-part-1/ Guided by the nice, helpful folks above -and as Open Source Software author myself- I was pleasantly surprised to learn that there are many applications and data which are freely available "for the rest of us": http://mcx.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi?action=browse&id=MMC/Colin27AtlasMesh&oldid=MMC/CollinsAtlasMesh This one comes directly, courtesy of none other than Uncle Sam himself: https://www.nlm.nih.gov/research/visible/visible_human.html But I will leave the best for the next message. -Ramon Tip: It is as hands-on as you can get. Get ready to do some downloading...

    It has not been established, esteemed Cliff. Not ( a ) Mathematically ( b ) Based on 21st. Century Science and Leading Edge Technology. ( c ) Led by We The People ( d ) In an Open, Competitive Research environment ( e ) Without having to beg for a morsel or scrap from the National Archives. Cliff: Did you notice THE most important folders in the Google Drive? Those would be the ones named "Support Files" in every sub-project. Not only you but the Dale Myers and Gerald Posners of the world will have full access to their contents. As soon as I have my first simulation (of the Parkland Effect aka Conservation of Momentum aka Common Sense) ready I will challenge our esteemed David Von Pein (much respected because he is the only one from the other side who has enough cojones to show his face here): "WHEN CAN WE EXPECT TO SEE THE RESULTS FROM YOUR SIMULATION? ps: do not forget the support files" -Ramon

    Jon: Do you know how easy and inexpensive it would be to replicate (or reject) the results obtained by the team at Dartmouth? Just go to this web page, click on "Student", "Faculty" or "Tutor" and get all the software for free. The classes are in YouTube. http://www.autodesk.com/ -Ramon

    HEAD SHOT: THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE JFK ASSASSINATION by G. Paul Chambers Chapter 9: The Second Rifle in Dealey Plaza "Science is the ultimate test of truth. Lies and hypocrisy don't live long in the arena of modern scientific inquiry. It is fitting that the space program that Kennedy championed should ultimately provide the methodology for resolving the riddle of his death: the physics of rocket science (*). With the identity of the murder weapon and the origin of the fatal shot established, the chances of unraveling the tangled threads of the Kennedy assassination, the Gordian knot of murder mysteries, increase exponentially. The law of nature is Alexander's sword." (*) More specifically, the Finite Element Method and Computational Fluid Dynamics. Together, they form part of Multiphysics. -Ramon

    Jon: You seem to have very little faith in the scientific method. There is only one indispensable detail missing from Dr. Farid's contribution. He and his team (you just claimed that all his students are in the conspiracy, BTW) should place every item, every note, every file used in their study on a web site. Then other universities would attempt their own study. Dartmouth: We used a 3D Maya model, and... Stanford: We disagree with the following parts. MIT: This is our study Harvard: And so forth, etc. CalTech: Our analyzes indicate ... Eventually, they will agree on some parts and some -out of shame and fear of ridicule- will refuse to support the modern equivalents of Geocentrism, Astrology and Alchemy. Survival of the fittest at its best. Truth by refinement. Keep in mind that in such competitive environment, there is nothing that satisfies a scientist more that calling his rival across the continent (in very diplomatic and polite terms): "Doctor Robinson from Georgia Tech is full of crap!". That is the way we went to the Moon and Mars, that is the way Polio was cured and the Genome was decoded. That is the way we invented the Internet. That is the way we will cure cancer and AIDS. That is not only the best way to the truth, but the ONLY way.

    Speaking of which, I am concerned about Bryan Bender. When he worked for the Boston Globe (a newspaper close to the Kennedys, more daring -aka sincere- than the rest of the MSM) he seemed to be genuinely concerned for the truth. See this video: Boston Globe National Security Reporter Bryan Bender http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/Jfk-killing-documentary-newsmax/2013/11/19/id/537520/ Fast Forward to Minute 21: Today, Bryan works for Politico (in fact, he has been promoted to editor) and his boss, the owner of Politico -Robert L. Allbritton- happens to be in the Board of Trustees of the LBJ Library. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Allbritton Can we spell "Conflict of Interest"? Somebody ought to start a petition respectfully asking Mr. Allbritton to distance himself from the LBJ Library.

    Jon G. Tidd, on 23 Oct 2015 - 3:57 PM, said: Hi Jon: Where you wrote "conservation-of-momentum analysis of the murder" can we assume that you meant "conservation-of-momentum analysis of the fatal shot"?

    [Postponed for a more appropriate opportunity - The comments by Messrs. Tidd and Fordiani are much more important.]
