Guest James H. Fetzer Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Duncan, I find this a bit puzzling. Jack made measurements, using the height of the pedestal as a yardstick. It looks to me as though his calculations were made correctly. Where are your measurements? What is their height in each of these, as you determine them, and how? I think that you need more to make your case. Jim,It's plain to see simply by blowing up each of the stills to the approximate size, that the figures are the same size in all of them.

Guest James H. Fetzer Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 (edited) If you are this ignorant about the wounds JFK incurred, then you really need to find other ways to spend your time. Even Jackie testified that, from the front, he looked just fine, but that she had a hard time holding his brains and skull together at the back of his head. The eyewitnesses and the Parkland physicians were quite consistent about the wound to the back of his skull. The mortician reported "large gaping hole in back of head" and "smaller wound in right temple". The wound can even be seen in late frames of the Zapruder, such as 374. You would know these things if you had read the studies of the medical evidence in MURDER and HOAX, for example. Your massive lack of knowledge is making you look like a nitwit. ....with the fabrication of the Zapruder, but that is established by the inclusion of events that did not occur--.... (bold mine) ROFLMAO! You really are a piece of work jimbo.... Edited March 15, 2009 by James H. Fetzer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barb Junkkarinen Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 (edited) Hahaha! You are showing off your ignorance again! I didn't say anything about Z film fabrication ... that is your fantasy, not surprisingly unproven (and ridiculous) despite your reams of repetitive graffiti on cyberspace walls. What it has to do with is basic principles ... doesn't matter what the picture is ... why don't you ask Jack, the photo expert to explain it to you? And if he can, then he can explain to all of us how he can draw lines on photographs taken at different times from different angles by different cameras, with a whole host of other unknowns, and compare the size of a "known" object to objects farther from the camera. And this would be true even if he had NOT used pictures that are so fuzzy and muddy as to make it nothing but a wild assed guess where he chooses to put his lines ... especially those supposedly marking Z's height. Aside from all that, is it really a foreign concept to you that people bend and move ... especially when taking photographs or panning with a movie camera? There have been some doozies overs the years, but this latest "proof" has got to be one of the most preposterous profferings yet. The rearch community cringes; they are not laughing with you. Barb OK, I'll bite. What are you showing here, Tom? Barb seems to think it has something to do with the fabrication of the Zapruder,but that is established by the inclusion of events that did not occur--such as the massive blow-out to the right front--and exclusion of events that did occur--such as Chaney motoring forward or, dare I say it?, Mary stepping into the street. But I thought that I had explained this many times, so I am baffled that Barb, who should know better, apparently does not. Jim, you don't have a clue what Tom is showing there! Why do you think this should be in the Moorman thread? LOL!What he shows are basics that apply to everything ... not just Moorman, and in what he posted, it directly applies to the Zapruder on the pedestal issue. Is it any wonder the ridiculousness of the changing heights thesis sounds like a winner to you? Or do you even look at anything Jack White puts in front of you and evaluate it before you promote it? What Tom has demonstrated is only one of the problems with Jack's "proofs" ... and it is all lost on you because by your reply you revealed you are clueless. And you want to be taken seriously with your promotion of this kind of nonsense as proof of anything!? Barb :-) Tom, These look very interesting, but they belong on a Moorman thread. Please move them there and add some explanation about what you take them to show. Then I and others who care about the Moorman might address them on those threads. Thanks. JimQuite difficult to merely "look" at a photographic image without having absolutely precise means of measurement confirmation, and therefore determine if the focal plane was in direct parallel alignment with the true vertical plane of the target/image.

Barb Junkkarinen Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 If you really knew the medical evidence, Jim, you would know that's not exactly what Jackie said, nor how she characterized it. What she said makes perfect sense if one knows that, indeed, there was a large wound in the right rear of the head, AND that there was also a flap of bone opened on the side of the head ... as captured on the Z film, related by Z in person on camera a short time later, and seen by others on the north side of Elm as well. It does not have to be either or ... it was both. And Jackie speaks of two things: holding his hair and skull on, AND keeping the top of his head down so no more brains would fall out. The first would be holding the flap (hair and skull) closed, the second would be keeping his head down because of the nasty wound in the back of his head. I doubt anyone has spent more time defending the Parkland crew in cyberspace than I have. I know that evidence well. And what they saw was corroborated by the autopsy findings ... their notes, measurements and drawings. 10 x 17 cm is a heck of a big whole from stern to stem ... virtually the whole right side of his skull was destroyed....including the right rear behind the ear where Parkland noted the wound they saw AND the area where the flap opened up so graphically in DP. Barb If you are this ignorant about the wounds JFK incurred, then you really need to find other ways to spend your time.

Don Jeffries Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 (edited) As I've stated, I'm an agnostic on the alteration question. However, I'd like to add my two cents, which any or all of you are free to reject and/or scoff at. To the alterationists, I'd like to state that I think you are placing too much emphasis, and expending too much time, on what is obviously a contentious issue, even among believers in conspiracy. As has been noted, there is abundance evidence that Oswald shot no one on November 22, 1963, and the clear indications of a massive cover up are everywhere throughout the official record. I acknowledge that you've raised some interesting points, and I do think there may quite well be something there. That being said, I don't think at this point that the continuing arguments are helping to heal what was already a bitterly divided critical community. To the non-alterationists, I'd like to state that the vitriol you expend on Jack White, Jim Fetzer and co. is often transparently personal. It's also baffling, in that you seem to consider their claims to be more objectionable than lone nutterism itself. Why do you think it's impossible that those who killed a sitting U.S. president and launched a cover up so extensive that it is still being promoted consistently by every organ of the mainstream media today, would alter film footage of the crime? I'm familiar with your interpretations and counterarguments, but do you acknowledge that such a thing was possible? On both sides, the animosity is ugly. Can Jim Fetzer and Jack White acknowledge the contrbution made by Josiah Thompson, in his important book "Six Seconds In Dallas?" Can Josiah Thompson acknowledge the crucial early studies Jack White did on the backyard photos, as well as the fact he was (I think) the first critic to study all the photos of Lee Harvey Oswald, and theorize about his "many faces?" Can Josiah Thompson credit Jim Fetzer for putting together the important book "Assassination Science?" I readily admit that I'm a bit biased here; I tend to believe the worst about our corrupt leaders, and thus have an instinctive attraction for most conspiracy theories. Thus, I am bound to find myself agreeing with White and Fetzer more often than I would with Thompson (I think- because Josiah doesn't post much about anything besides the alteration issue, I'm not completely sure about his other beliefs, except that he did argue against a 911 conspiracy). I can see both sides of this question, in spite of that. I simply think that the debate over the credibility of the films is taking up way too much time and attention on this forum. Those are the thoughts of someone who is just observing this debate, and is not one of the heated participants. Can all of you remember the crucial points you do agree upon (at least I think Josiah, Bill and Barb are all conspiracy believers)? All of you think there WAS a conspiracy, right? All of you think there WAS a cover up, right? Isn't that more imporant than whether the Zapruder film is legitimate? Of course, I'm not referring to Craig, who is plainly a lone nutter. He is almost certainly in disagreement with all of you about the essential facts of this case. Okay, I'm not used to being the voice of moderation. Let me get back to being a radical....

Bill Miller Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 A film that includes events that did not take place--and excludes othersthat did, such as Chaney motoring forward, not to mention Mary stepping into the street--cannot be a film that Zapruder took. You might want to review some of my posts on this forum and elsewhere, incuding "New Proof of JFK Video Fakery", which you can find on-line, and, of course, my studies at JFKresearch.com/Moorman/ and JFKresearch.com/Moorman2/ . We need a much better idea of what an authentic film would have shown. Mr. Fetzer, I know all about the other film claim ... do you not recall that it was I on DellaRosa's site that asked just how many 'other film(s)' are there supposed to be. I asked that question because the list of names that I saw that were alleging to have seen this so-called 'other film' were all describing different events in their films. Either most, if not all, were making up a story about seeing this other film or there were a dozen versions of another film floating around. Now about DellaRosa seeing the 'other film' ... I recall what school I was attending when the guy who did the whistling for the Andy Griffith theme came and gave a presentation. I remember where in the school it was held, some of the peoples names that saw it with me. DellaRosa claimed to have seen this horrible very clear film of the assassination and I remember him not being able to divulge squat as to the details surrounding anything that could add support to his claim. Just more rumor and innuendos propaganda. Bill Miller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm familiar with your interpretations and counterarguments, but do you acknowledge that such a thing was possible? All things are thought to be possible ... a stray bullet from a hunter a mile out of Dallas may have hit JFK in the head and killed him, but there is no evidence to support it. When it comes to the alteration of the Zapruder film (shot with Kodachrome II film) it is IMPOSSIBLE from what I have learned for it to have been altered and be undetectable by forensic science today. Claiming the same photos to be real in one breath and altered in the next to help support ones ever changing position is not science and certainly suspect to say the least.

Just to be clear Don, since you appear to have missed it the many other times I've posted it...I have NO theory as to who killed JFK, nor do I care. I think in general that the cult of JFK is a massive waste of time. If you cut to the chase, very few today would give a tinkers damn if it was proven JFK was killed by someone other than Oswald. One or two nights on the evening news and then gone forever in the general publics mind. I do this for entertainment and I enjoy using my unique skillset to puncture the MASSIVE disinformantion that exists in the commentary about the JFK photography.

Thomas H. Purvis Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Don, I guess I can understand your concern in presenting a more united front, and certainly, your lean toward alterationism as a possibility, because you believe that the cover-up was massive, and something like this would not be above the conspiracists. Where the problem lies is here: "Each photo and film taken in Dealey Plaza has to fit into a more general fabric. If you take photos and movies of a single event from multiple standpoints, all the films and photos have to agree. They can only vary with respect to the standpoint from which they were taken. For example, with respect to Mary Moorman, the Muchmore and Zapruder films show her from wildly different angles. Yet these films can be matched up frame-by-frame to lay out every detail of her actions as the limousine passes her. The same can be said of all the photos and films taken in Dealey Plaza. If a film or photo were altered, it would stand out. It would be discrepant with the rest of the photo record."(Thompson) This is certainly a true and reasonable statement. And there is nothing wrong with challenging the photographic evidence. It should pan itself out as consistent. It either is or is not altered. Studies demonstrating possible alteration should be subject to the same constraints as any other studies. They should be peer reviewed, and if the reviews poke holes in the studies, they should be tossed out. It has nothing to do with personality, or, ideally, should not. The problem with this particular issue, is that each time an objection is made, the explanation gets turned toward something else. For example, it is being argued that Zapruder is shown at many different height(although Duncan shows him the same height), and one reason that is produced to explain this is that Z may have been made of rubber... I also find it kind of funny, and this is nothing against you at all, that Barb's, Josiah's, and Bill's and leanings could questioned because of their stance. ..at least I think Josiah, Bill and Barb are all conspiracy believers)? All of you think there WAS a conspiracy, right? All of you think there WAS a cover up, right? By this I mean that some folks may have no problem throwing them into the LN camp merely because they are questioning a theory. I would hate to think that because I do not believe in alteration, that I am not a conspiracy supporter. But then as well, I would hate it even more if other folks align the alteration concept as being a cornerstone of conspiracy theory. I agree with you about the "vitriolicity" that is displayed, and I don't know what one can do about it. We need to be reasonable and rational to go forward. We have to have a solid evidentiary base. And, because of this, it is essential to review the alteration point. Kathy "We need to be reasonable and rational to go forward." Are you actually referencing the human species here???????? "Reason" left the realm of JFK assassination discussion years ago. My dog(s) tend to be more reasonable and rational than many humans and most (claimed) JFK assassination researchers. "We have to have a solid evidentiary base. And, because of this, it is essential to review the alteration point." Not unlike 1,000 government lawyers at the bottom of a lake.

Josiah Thompson Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I would like to make two points about research on the Kennedy assassination. First, research on the Kennedy assassination is not part of any religious crusade. Hence, the language that puts people in two camps (LN'ers and CT'ers) is just stupid. Research in the Kennedy assassination is a subbranch of historical research in general. The same canons of respectable argumentation apply here as in the wider world of historical research. One doesn't check one's common sense, one's respect for the laws of nature, and one's basic integrity at the door when one enters the precinct of research on the Kennedy assassination. Secondly, Professor Fetzer has proved himself here (as he has before) as the worst nightmare research in the Kennedy experience could design for itself. Here we have a pedestrial academic who asks that others "swoon" before his rather ordinary CV telling others they are not "qualified" to have opinions in this area. His penchant for publishing crap that even the tabloids would find beneath them, embarrasses the tradition of citizens's inquiry on the JFK case that started 45 years ago. I have been part of that tradition and I will continue to emphasize its origin in, and commitment to, research that is substantial and factually grounded. If that means calling attention to Professor Fetzer's trashing of that tradition with his mindless blitzkriegs of words and attempts to smear the character of those who disagree with him, then so be it. Kathy, you make it sound like some mindless war between two old coots. It isn't. Josiah Thompson Don, I guess I can understand your concern in presenting a more united front, and certainly, your lean toward alterationism as a possibility, because you believe that the cover-up was massive, and something like this would not be above the conspiracists.
