I gritted my teeth and prepurchased this, realizing I would have to
bit the bullet and read it sooner or later.

The question I will be asking is how someone who seems to be entirely
ungrounded in process and apparently oblivious for a need to reason
assassination issues through will manage to write anything of value
that tells others how to think..

Hmmm...

No one could ever work out YOUR process vis-a-vis Judyth Vary Baker.

Until we all realised you didn't really have one.

"...oblivious for a need to reason assassination issues...?"

What issues? You mean like rebutting the 16 Dealey snipers and 22
agencies-involved theory?

Translation: it's not ok to ask questions or express curiousity, much
less irony. In this case, I would like to be mistaken.

I would hope that McAdams will not end up in a position of irony as
Fetzer has done at the opposite end of the spectrum -- having been a
prof of logic and resorting to every fallacy under the sun to push the
most far-out CT theories.

Guess we'll have to wait and see. For a day or two at least.

Au contraire; not only do I have one, but it works. You just don't

Once again a LNer will exaggerate a CT's view or COMBINE alternate
scenarios to make the CT position look ridiculous.

I hope Dr. McAdams doesn't do that in his book.

Puzzling book.

McAdams has criticized one dissenter for pushing seeing a figure in the
Moorman photo, then complimented him on debunking the t&t windshield hole
theory.

Is this evidence of objectivity or just a loose end?

I have not yet given my opinions about either the O'Reilly book or the
McAdams book. All I have done was give my opinions about the authors. And
caution people to consider the source and their rightwing bias. If you
knew how to use the Internet to search you could see that I refused to
give an opinion about the Bugliosi book until I had bought it and read it
and then I tore it apart page by page.

I refused to give an opinion about Judyth's book because I did not want to
bother reading it. And yet I was the only person who could confirm some of
the things she said. I was the only person on this planet who was able to
find the letter she wrote to President Kennedy. Not you, not McAdams, not
Martin, not Barb.

This excellent post by William Yates details and documents the

McAdams conflicting responses were to Tink Thompson. But you get a nod as
one who 'decisively refuted those researchers who think the Zapruder film
is forged or tampered with". p 193

However, that statement begs the question that there is no provenance to
the Zapruder film(s) and that they were shown in various places when Time
was supposed to have had them under lock and key.

So the compliment may be well-intended, but incorrect. There will always
be questions about the Z-film(s) to those who dare to ask questions about
it.

A great irony I am seeing in the McAdams book is that the tactics he says
he uses to debunk conspiracy theories, such as distrusting all
eyewitnesses as they are notoriously unreliable, can also be used against
the WCR.

Not really. The WC gave some weight to the recollections of eyewitnesses,
but for the most part, its conclusions are based on and consistent with
the hard physical evidence. Without any eyewitnesses whatsoever, a
compelling case can be made that Oswald was JFK's assassin.

I don't care that there will always be questions about the Zapruder film.
Like why it was hidden for so many years. Why it was mishandled. Why they
screwed up the frame order when they published it in the WR. It was the
silly questions about the ghost images and other perceived anomalies which
led me to find the answers which let the film prove itself to be
authentic.

What 'hard physical evidence'?

The SS had possession of the limo, for example, for 12 hours after the
assassination. They provided no record of what they did, no diagrams,
nothing. There was a lack of accountability, and as a result, everything
that turned up needs to be questioned. How do we know the limo was not
sanitized -- because the SS tells us so? Really?

Yes, you did, Anthony. After it was suggested you do so. And since,
according to you, you were going there anyway, you said you'd look
even though you doubted you's find anything Isee dialogue of how it

And you were thanked by all for finding it, scanning it, and putting

McAdams seems to have a curious habit of claiming CTs 'try to make a
conspiracy witness' out of someone. That is a strawman. Then he goes
and debunks his strawman. LOL.

Two examples of this are J.C. Price, p. 15 and Lee Bowers, p. 16-17.

Apparently, nobody told him about weighing and evaluating witnesses
statements rather than trying to force them into a category?

Oops. I didn't think of that. So you might have a theory that the print
we are arguing about is authentic, but the other two prints might be
fakes? Fun. Let's hear how and why you might think the other two prints
are fakes? What would be the point? Only to mislead the FBI, SS or CIA?

We were discussing the master print. What most uninformed people just call
THE Zapruder film. You might want to call it the middle print to
differentiate it. The one in my article which was used to make the MPI
release and the one which Roland Zavada authenticated for the ARRB. So why
did you say that only one copy was authentic? Which copies do you think
were not authentic? I guess you could mean the bootleg black and white
copies we used to pass around. Who analyzed those for serious research?
Lifton?

You were, not I. And you didn't specify that, did you? Nor did you
mention that that version of the Z-films has at least two splices in
it. That film has been altered, don't you agree?

You chose to believe his opinion. I do not find it persuasive.

Never said any of them was authentic. That is YOUR wacky theory.

The 'hard phyiscal evidence' can be easily called into question too, and
one can't ignore the plethora of circumstantial evidence against the LAT.

Example:

Hard physical evidence - CE399, barely deformed, no evidence of biological
matter whatsoever and its chain of possession is sketchy at best, or lack
of fingerprints on MC & controversy therein, no evidence that it was
actually fired that day,

Circumstantial evidence - what we see on the Zapruder film (backward head
snap, JFK's earlier signs of reaction versus lapel flip or later reaction
by Connally, etc., etc.), FBI report of Miami threat as existence of a
conspiracy, etc.

I read your blog. I didn't see any *process* except apart from a
generalised *let's all refrain from judging Baker for about five years
because I kinda like her* process.

That's HARDLY a way to conduct objective research!

By the time YOU joined the debunking party, Baker was already cactus.

Somebody needs to.

Your articles are not where my focus is at this time. If you really
believed them wouldn't you would argue coherently rather than becoming
negative?

You are trying to defend a version of the Z-film as 'authentic' that
you know has been altered. What category does that put you in?

You call on Zavada's appeal to authority without bothering to provide
the proper orientation -- he was a Kodak employee; he was not

>>> "How do we know the limo was not sanitized -- because the SS tells us so? Really?" <<<

Yes....really.

If a conspiracy theorist actually wants to postulate the idea that all
of the limo evidence is fake, they've got a very big hurdle to
overcome:

How (and when, and by whom) did the Secret Service (or the FBI) manage
to plant the two large bullet fragments from OSWALD'S RIFLE in the
limousine?

Oswald's rifle, we know, was in Dallas and was in the possession of
the DPD until about 11:45 PM (CST) on Fri., Nov. 22. Then it went to
the FBI in Washington. So neither the SS or the FBI had physical
possession of Oswald's Carcano until about 12 hours after the
assassination.

Do CTers actually think that the Secret Service and/or FBI just
INVENTED the notion that the fragments were found in the front seat
area of JFK's limousine? They just made that up out of thin air? Is
that it?

If that's the silly theory that conspiracists want to endorse, then
they should at least have the decency to tell the world what evidence
they've got to accuse the Secret Service (and maybe the FBI too) of
such a vile, despicable evidence-planting deed.

But, naturally, no conspiracy theorist on Earth can supply any
evidence to substantiate their continuing claims of evidence
manipulation in the JFK case. All we ever get are comments like this
one:

"How do we know the limo was not sanitized -- because the SS
tells us so?"

Footnote ----

The theory that CE567 and CE569 are fake/planted bullet fragments
almost certainly MUST be a theory that a lot of conspiracy theorists
endorse, whether they know it or not. Because if those two bullet
fragments are legitimate pieces of evidence in this case, it
positively means that OSWALD'S RIFLE was being fired at President
Kennedy in Dealey Plaza.

And those two bullet fragments, in conjunction with Oswald's own
actions and all of the other many things of a physical nature, go a
long way toward incriminating the owner of the rifle that was
conclusively linked to those two front-seat bullet fragments. And that
owner's name was Lee Harvey Oswald.

When arguing with conspiracy theorists over the years, I've noticed
that those two limo bullet fragments don't very often come up in
conversation. And I think there's a very good reason why CTers like to
distance themselves from those two very important (and Oswald-
incriminating) pieces of bullet evidence.

The CTers can't possibly even begin to prove that those fragments
weren't really found in the front seat of JFK's car. And the CTers
can't begin to support their nutty idea that ALL of the physical
evidence against Oswald in the JFK and Tippit murders is fake,
planted, or phony.

So the conspiracists normally just ignore the two limo fragments from
LHO's gun. I guess maybe they think those fragments will just go away
if they don't talk about them very much.

But those fragments aren't going to suddenly disappear from the
official record in this murder case. They are there...and there to
stay. And those fragments indicate a very important thing:

Those fragments indicate that the rifle owned by Lee H. Oswald was the
weapon that killed President John F. Kennedy.

And that's a stubborn fact that many conspiracy theorists just simply
do not want to accept. And they never will.

What are you babbling about? Which diagram?
Do you mean the FBI diagram? It was drawn on the spot while they were
examining the limo.

It was not to scale and not meant to be accurate. What's that word again?
Schematic?
Rough drawing?
Crime scene sketch?

I suppose unemployed people are the only "objective" experts.

But of course, people with bona fide technical qualifications (not
Harry Livingston or Bob Groden) tend to be employeed.

So your logic would exclude all bona fide technical experts.

Straw Man Argument. No one said ALL. Can you at least admit that some
evidence was destroyed or will you think you then have to admit
conspiracy?

We know the SS had control of the limo all the time so we are not
obligated to tell you an exact second. And some of us are more concerned
about what was removed and thrown away than anyone planting anything.

Yeah, so what?
Where did the missing lead core from the base fragment go? What

condition is it in now?

No one even wants to bother trying to prove such a nutty theory.
What they could do is claim that the fragments were conveniently planted
to frame Oswald. Like the two detectives on a drug bust.
The first detective looks in a drawer and it is empty. Then 10 minutes
later the second detective goes in and finds 10 pounds of cocaine in the
'empty' drawer.

I have a technical question for you. At that time the case was only a
local case being investigated by the DPD. We know the DPD crime lab busy
gathering evidence at the TSBD. But does the SS or the FBI have the right
to tamper with crime scene evidence which should be examined by the local
authorities who have jurisdiction?

The murder took place in Dallas. The DPD wanted to do a forensic exam.
But they weren't able to, because the limo had already been whisked away
by the SS.

Frazier only did the FBI exam 12 hours after the assassination because
the SS finally allowed him to.

Don't twist the facts.

I don't see her as a disease as you seem to, that the innocent public

Tony Marsh apparently wants to ignore the fact that many, many CTers
on the Internet must certainly believe that ALL of the evidence that
hangs their precious patsy has been faked/planted/altered/manipulated.
Every last item.

Because if even a very small percentage of the many things that
incriminate Oswald are genuine and NOT fake, then their prized patsy
is guilty of two murders on 11/22. Simple as that.

And the Internet CT clowns will never admit to such an "Oswald Is
Guilty" scenario. Never. Therefore, ALL of the evidence that points to
LHO must be fake in their skewed eyes.

And, no, Tony, I wasn't present at the glorious "COPA" conference
where you discussed CE567/569. Sorry I missed that gem of a
presentation. I'm sure it must have been worthy of CNN coverage. But I
usually stay away from places where the obvious conclusions about an
assassination are totally ignored. (Except here on the Internet, that
is.)

Garbage.

One or two things alone do not convict Oswald. The autopsy photographs and
X-rays are genuine as is the Zapruder film. They do not tell you who
pulled the trigger. Secondly you make up this phony argument that if
Oswald is guilty there was no conspiracy. The FBI and WC were convinced
that Oswald was guilty AND part of a conspiracy. The HSCA concluded that
Oswald was a shooter AND part of a conspiracy. We don't need your phony
arguments and insults accusing researchers of trying to prove Oswald
innocent. Knock it off.

Sooo.... were they "poring over the limo" while it was in the dark as

trip down to the hold, under orders, to look for a bullet ... which
was quickly abandoned because it was too dark down there, and too
creepy)? Or while it was being driven back to the WH garage? Or while
it was secured, covered and in a guarded bay while in the garage
before known and documented exams were conducted?

Dead people are often held at the morgue for many hours before an
autopsy is performed. Does that make any autopsy findings suspect
because, afterall, they had the body all those hours before the
autopsy?

Unless you have some specific charges ... and specific support ...
against any member(s) of the SS who had the opportunity to do anything
to that limo in your proclaimed 12 hours, then it is a bit surprising
to see you once again libeling the SS .... as you used to do on your
website when you claimed the SS had "sanitized" the limo. You seem to
be heading back into those waters again. Go figure.

John McAdams gives his opinions and assessments, which he, like all of
us, is entitled to do. He does not hold himself out as a witness ...
participant really in many respects ... having the inside knowledge of
the plot, the deed and the aftermath. That is, imo, a pox not only on
those who truly want to know the actual whole truth, and whose
endeavors should not be obsfucated by false trails ... but a pox on
the accuracy of our nation's history and the tragedy that was the
killing of our president.

That's a huge difference ... one I am surprised you cannot see. Or
that you would use it just to take a shot at John McAdams (or anyone
else, as you have regularly done over the last several years). Sad.
Especially in your supposedly now enlightened state about JVB's story.

You can complain all you want, but it doesn't change the fact that they
didn't know what the Hell they were doing.
And who says that they did not write reports?

Bullshit. The vast majority of CTers who post regularly on Internet
forums that I have conversed with are totally convinced that Oswald
was an INNOCENT PATSY (i.e., he never fired a shot at anybody on
11/22/63).

Good heavens, even a very smart man like Mark Lane is convinced that
Oswald never shot JFK or Tippit. That's Mark Lane! A CT guru since
1963.

So, yes, my "many, many" statement is totally accurate when it comes
to INTERNET CTers--and you know it is. You just like to argue--as per
usual.

>>> "Secondly you make up this phony argument that if Oswald is guilty there was no conspiracy." <<<

Quote me saying that, Tony (in just exactly that manner). Of course,
you'll never find such a quote by me, because no such quote exists
with me stating that if Oswald is guilty there absolutely could not
have been a conspiracy. Marsh is making shit up--again.


>>> "The FBI and WC were convinced that Oswald was guilty AND part of a conspiracy." <<<

More pure bullshit from Marsh the Mangler.


>>> "We don't need your phony arguments and insults accusing researchers of trying to prove Oswald
innocent." <<<

What "phony arguments" are those, Marsh?

I would have thought you were aware by now that a huge number of your
fellow conspiracy clowns (especially on the Internet) do, indeed,
believe in Oswald's complete innocence.

I guess I was mistaken. Marsh seems to think that a vast majority of
Internet CTers believe that Oswald was GUILTY of killing JFK. But
Marsh, as usual, is wrong.

>>> "You didn't even read it when I posted it on my Web site." <<<

You're right. I didn't. (You've got a website, eh?)


>>> "You were too busy looking for videos of strippers to put on your YouTube page." <<<

More pure tommyrot from Marsh. Point to one stripper on my YouTube
channels. (Not counting Janet Conforto, who is interviewed by WFAA in
one of my videos.)

>>> "How about if you concentrate on doing actual research instead of insulting people?" <<<

I've done plenty of research to know that my LN position holds up just
fine....even under the scrutiny of such gallant and noble conspiracy-
seeking researchers as W. Anthony Marsh.

Now, show me those strippers. I need some entertainment before
beginning my next evil disinfo campaign.

Barb,

It's not just "Pamela-think". It's a vast majority of Internet CTers
who think Oswald was completely innocent of shooting JFK and Tippit.
Ergo, those Anybody-But-Oswald CTers have no choice but to also
believe that all of the physical evidence against LHO is fake (e.g.,
the guns, the bullets, the shells, the paper bag, LHO's prints, the
fibers, and the eyewitnesses who fingered Oswald).

You're surely not suggesting, Barb, that a majority of conspiracists
who post regularly on Internet forums are of the opinion that Oswald
was GUILTY, are you? Come now. Almost all of the regular posters think
Oswald was set up and was an innocent patsy.

Therefore, how can those conspiracy theorists possibly believe that
ANY of the physical evidence I just outlined above is truly
legitimate?

If they were to admit that the evidence is legit, they are forfeiting
their belief that Oswald was innocent. At least from any kind of a
rational "common sense" perspective.

Silly. Some SS agent saw something on the plane back to Washington.
But there was no crime lab team. Just regular agents.
How are the SS exams documented? Are you going to upload the documents?

If Judyth were claiming LHO told her he intended to kill JFK I would
probably see her in a different light. But history regarding the JFK
assassination has been repeatedly assaulted from every direction from what
I can see, so her statements are just another variation on, at least, the
CT theme.

Nonetheless, if I were planning to come forward and claim that I was the
Holy Grail of the assassination, I would hope to have enough courage to
insist that all my credentials be held up to scrutiny and would spare
nothing to the end of winning over the community. That has not happened.

>
> That's a huge difference ... one I am surprised you cannot see.

I see posturing on both sides. Whom do you think has more clout --
Judyth, who has been defamed and ridiculed and feels she cannot live
in the US, or a prof of a good university whose book gets published by
a reputable publisher?

McAdams has thick skin and the backing of MU. I think he and his book can

protect him.

Oh, I see. Because you can't prove your original statement you modify it

There are no such people. It's just a figment of your imagination to
insult anyone who want to find out what happened. Much like the
militarists who attacked anyone who defended Dreyfus. Or a certain Senator
in the 50s who attacked anyone who questioned his tactics.

It has absolutely nothing to do with Oswald's guilt or innocence. You are
just trying to insult conspiracy believers by claiming that they are
protecting a guilty man. That's so last Century.

Let me name just a few, for starters:

Jim DiEugenio.
Mark Lane.
Jim Garrison.
Bob Groden.


Those four men above think Oswald was totally innocent of shooting JFK
& Tippit. And since all of the evidence in those two murder cases
points directly at Oswald, the only choice those four men have is to
pretend that the evidence against Oswald is fake or phony (or at least
the vast majority of the evidence at any rate, but most likely ALL the
evidence has been tampered with, per those CTers).

Because if they actually admit that any of the evidence is legit*,
then they are pretty much saying that Lee Harvey Oswald is the best
candidate for having committed the murders. And those CTers I just
mentioned definitely do not like the idea of having to admit that Mr.
Oswald could have possibly committed those crimes. They like their
Anybody-But-Oz fantasies too much to admit anything like that.

* = And by "any evidence" here, I'm talking here about the physical
things, like guns, bullets, shells, prints, fibers, the paper bag, and
the eyewitnesses. I'm not talking about the backyard photos or the
Zapruder Film in this particular instance, because those things do not
prove Oswald killed anybody, although the backyard pictures do,
indeed, tend to incriminate Oswald in the sense that the pictures
prove (for all time) that Oswald possessed a bolt-action rifle in the
year 1963 which (of course) is yet another thing that conspiracy
clowns like DiEugenio and Lane (et al) wouldn't admit if their lives
hung in the balance.

You, Tony, naturally had to mention thjose two things (the backyard
photos and the Z-Film) when responding to an earlier post of mine
concerning this "All Evidence Is Fake" topic. And, naturally, you
chose two items that are only peripheral to proving Oswald's guilt,
while no doubt realizing that I was talking mainly about things that
DO go a long way toward proving Oswald's guilt -- e.g., the guns, the
bullets, the shells, the paper bag with LHO"s prints on it, and the
witnesses, etc.

I'd like to see a poll among Internet CTers, where they would answer
this question:

WHICH ITEMS IN EVIDENCE TODAY IN CONNECTION WITH THE JFK & TIPPIT
MURDERS DO YOU BELIEVE IS VALID, LEGITIMATE EVIDENCE THAT HAS NOT BEEN
FAKED, PLANTED, OR OTHERWISE MANIPULATED?

The list of items on any such list written by a conspiracy theorist
who frequently posts at Internet JFK forums is going to be mighty,
mighty short indeed. Because if such a list isn't mighty short--then
their patsy is probably guilty of murder, isn't he?

Oh really? I find that hard to believe. In fact, that just sounds

Nothing was documented until the Rowley letter of Jan, 1964. And that
would not even have been written if it were not for the Ferguson
memo.

Just how far will you go to try to shore up the shoddy treatment of
the limo given by the SS?

If Vaughn Ferguson had been on the Texas trip, as he had on all the
others the limo went on, things would have been different.

The questions were directed at DVP, not you. You should know these
things.

The limo was owned by the Ford Motor Company and leased to the WHG for
$500 a year. FMC provided a liaison to the WHG who was responsible
for the maintenance of the limo and almost always accompanied it on
its trips. That was Vaughn Ferguson. He was told at the last minute
to stay in DC and get the cars ready for the upcoming Army-Navy game.
He was not present on the Texas trip.

His memo, which you will recall was sent to me by accident by NARA
while it was still being suppressed (you got it released) provides the
best timeline we have of what happened to the limo after the
assassination. All of this was part of my NID 2002 presentation which
didn't make it to DVD because of audio/visual mishaps at JFKLancer
that year. I am in the process of redoing it.

You have yet to prove that he was with the limo on every trip.
At lot of changes were made at the last minute. That alone proves
conspiracy? Kicking out Stoughton so he couldn't take the photo showing
the shooter on the grassy knoll?

I disagree. Ferguson has been the one clear voice on what actually
happened to the limo. It was FMC property. It did not belong to the
SS. You do acknowledge that, don't you?

The two things are not related. Ferguson did not go on every trip. Jesus

away. Do you know how many tiny lead core fragments were lost when he
did that?
Maybe from a non-WCC bullet.

You are in denial. You accept the excuse that the film was accidentially
'damaged' without exploring the possibility that it was done with intent.
And then you claim it is pristine.

I do that daily when you refuse to ask questions about the evidence.

What does that have to do with this? If it wasn't for my research nobody
would know there had been a privacy window in the limo when it was
delivered to the White House. It was removed three months later. I
provided that document too.

With all due respect, when you jump into a subject and make assumptions
and try to demand that others follow your lead, just what question undoing
such a mess is 'silly'?

Why should I do that when I have already made it clear your article is
not my focus?

But here are a few very general questions.

Where in your article do you define the lack of provenance of the Z-
film(s) and, nevertheless, demonstrate that this copy is to your thinking
'authentic'?

Where do you share with us how you believe a film such as this could be
altered without affecting the inter-sprocket images and then demonstrate
that that was not what happened?

When do you set the existence of inter-sprocket images into context when
apparently only part of one copy of the film has them?

> At least you couldn't accuse me of working for Kodak!

You failed to answer my question. Instead, are you issuing some sort of
threat?

When is it of value to try to block the research of others, including the
asking of questions that have not yet been answered, whether you are a CT
or an LNT?

Not relevant. Even if the film were stolen it does not affect if it was
authentic or not. I repeat: The film proves itself authentic.

I have discussed that here before. I have also written more articles

ALL parts of ALL copies have inter-sprocket images. What you mean are
the ghost images and I explain that the only are created when the camera
is set to telephoto. Do you not understand that concept?

Not a threat. A caveat. Like any counter authority movement don't do the

I have never blocked anyone's research. But I do warn them when they are

No, I am trying to come up with a term which I hope you can understand. If
I say something like cuts you will try to misinterpret that as alteration.
If I say breaks you will misinterpret that as missing frames. So I can't
find a word in English which you can understand. If I start using
technical language you will object.

I was mistaken about that. However, I am the one who pursued their being

That is circular reasoning. Authentic to what? Which part of the film?
Only the part that we know has inte-sprocket images? The provenance of the
Z-film(s) is indeed relevant to anyone attempting to evaluate it
objectively.

Dip and dive.

Your original article is the one under discussion. Your thesis seems to
be that a film cannot be altered without altering the inter- sprocket
images. That falls into the fallacy of false alternatives. Surely you are
aware of that?

With all due respect, since you choose to accept the opinion of others
regarding the evidence you run the risk of not being in a position to warn
anyone but perhaps yourself.

You were the only one to bring it up and your theory was that it was still
there in 1963. I told you that was wrong. But did you take my word on it?
No, you continued to press your claim for months and called me part of the
cover-up. I had already seen all the known photos of the limo and knew for
a fact that the privacy window was not there in 1963. So your only way out
was to call me a liar.

Authentic as specified by the ARRB before they could recommend to the
National Archives that they pay $16M for an ORGINAL film. Not altered.
Damaged yes. Should they have gotten a discount for the damage like when
you guy a refrigerator with a scratch on it? Yes. 60% off.

It doesn't matter how many hands it passed through as long as we can prove
that it is the original. Just like a work of art which has been stolen and
hoarded for centuries.

No, I never said that. If you want to paint things on top of the main
frame you do not have to touch the existing sprocket hole area. Zavada
found no evidence of painting on the film stock. He was hired to make sure
it was authentic.

He had no mandate to theorize about what it shows.

You just said they did not write reports about examining the limo. That is
not true. They were writing reports all weekend. I have posted them on my
Web site. We have discussed them here before.

The FBI was also in contact with the SS and coordinating efforts to look
for evidence.

You seem to be having a pity party. I recall apologizing to you and
Jack White for any misstatements, but perhaps in your zeal to make
some sort of obscure point about the Z-film(s) that has been
forgotten. Nevermind.
One might get the impression your interest in the assassination has
more to do with proving yourself 'right' and others 'wrong' than
moving things forward. I sincerely hope that isn't the case.

I was the one the JFK Library wrote to explaining there WAS a privacy
window installed. Of course I had to pursue that lead. The press release
photo demonstrated that it had been there in June, 1961. A later document
described the reconfiguring of the limo three months later. You had
nothing to do with that.

The status quo you seem to uphold is not to question the evidence.

With all due respect, I believe you are in no position to do that here.
As you realize, my experience with the Z-film(s) is very different from
yours, having seen a screening of one of them in NYC in late 1964. So I
have to ask questions about everything connected to them, because I know
for certain that at the very least the vague statements made about
security are completely false. The version I saw did not have 'the blob',
so I also have to question why there seems to be a discrepancy between
that one and the one(s) on MPI.

If you read the Zavada report, part two, you will also find that one of
the first-gen copies went missing right after the assassination. It
supposedly ended up in the hands of Time/Life. Could a copy of that that
have been the version I saw? Could copies of that have been the version
that ended up in safes in the T/L executives homes in Greenwich Ct soon
after the assassination? > > > > > > >>>>>> But you can't refute > >>>>>>

Agreed that was the objective in hiring Zavada to scope the film(s).

Changed. Altered. Call it what you want. Not the same. Could have

Ironically, the appeal to authority regarding Zavada that you like to
throw out apparently had no effect on Doug Horne of the ARRB, as he
has gone off on a tangent in the other direction.

You have yet to provide any evidence for your claim that all the
copies had inter-sprocket images in all places. When will you do
that?

Where does it say went missing? Quote please. LIFE bought it.

No, because you didn't see the Zapruder film in 1964. Could extra copies
have been made and given to top executives? Sure, so what?

Doug Horne is not a reliable source. He is a Liftonite.

Indeed they were. Whatever assumptions you are trying to accept about
any provenance connected to the Z-film(s) are false. That's all.

You pick and choose your appeals to authority. Horne was a member of
the ARRB. He was not persuaded by Zavada's shell game. Neither am I.

Copies have nothing to do with the authenticity of the original. We used
to sell black and white bootleg copies.

Horne was not a reliable source. He is a Liftonite.
You could just as easily cite Groden as an expert since he also worked
for the HSCA.

Have I published an article on the Z-film(s) and claimed I 'proved'
they were authentic?
Is researching one's subject matter not a part of such an endeavor?

Yes, I did, your silly response notwithstanding. Why do you think I am
so committed to questioning the evidence?.

You have already demonstrated that you have no interest in the Z-
film(s) other than to claim you proved one 'authentic'.

You believe that one of the films is 'the original'; but who in their
right might would treat an original in a shabby manner, by burning and
destroying frames and then splicing it?

Which version? Did it have 'the blob'?

You are the one who has published an article claiming you have
'proved' one film authentic, are you not?
Or is that a silly question?[...]

Nothing wrong with questioning the evidence.
But you did not see the Zapruder film in 1964.

There are many interesting details and clues in the Zapruder film. I am
currently trying to synch the Zapruder film with the Dorman film by
tracking Rosemary. But Gary Mack is hindering research by withholding the
Dorman film.

And who said buring and destroying frames? Obviously you've never
projected 8 mm film and you don't know how easy it is for the film to get
torn. The reason why I had those example frames was because my aunt's job
was to repair home movies that had gotten mangled in projectors.

What do you mean which version? This was the bootleg copy.
The blob would not appear red. This was black and white.
That had absolutely nothing to do with alteration. The film could be
altered and then damaged during viewing.
You need alteration to be instantaneous since several people saw it
within hours.

You don't know that. You haven't demonstrated that. Why try to push your
opinion?

The film could be
> altered and then damaged during viewing.

Really? Who in their right mind damages a film during viewing if they
know what they are doing; especially not an in-camera original of this
historic film?

Isn't that what the copies were for? There is no benign explanation for
the burning and splicing of this film.

Saw what?
