Conspiracy theorist James DiEugenio was interviewed by Jim Fetzer on
December 16, 2009 (the program is linked above). During the last few
minutes of the interview, the subject of the backyard photos came up,
with both DiEugenio and Fetzer (predictably) claiming that the
pictures are frauds, and claiming that the recent study done by a
Dartmouth professor is all wet.
It just makes me wonder HOW MUCH PROOF OF AUTHENTICITY it takes for
these conspiracy clowns to finally admit that the backyard pictures of
Lee Harvey Oswald are genuine, unaltered photographs?
Firstly, of course, there was the investigation of this matter done
way back in 1964 by the Warren Commission (see the Warren Report,
beginning at page 592, linked below):
http://history-matters.com/archive/jfk/wc/wr/html/WCReport_0308b.htm
During his work for the Warren Commission, photographic expert Lyndal
Shaneyfelt of the FBI concluded beyond all doubt that the negative to
the backyard photo known as CE133-B (which is a negative that was
recovered from Ruth Paine's garage along with two of the backyard
photos themselves, CE133-A and CE133-B) was positively a negative that
came from Lee Oswald's very own Imperial-Reflex camera to the
exclusion of all other cameras ever made.
Therefore, CE133-B is NOT A FAKED, FORGED, FRAUDULENT, or COMPOSITE
photograph. Period.
And if CE133-B is not a fake or a composite photo (and it certainly
isn't), then NONE of the other backyard photos depicting Lee Oswald
with a rifle and a revolver and two newspapers are fakes either.
Or do some conspiracists actually want to believe that only SOME of
the existing backyard pictures are forgeries, while one of them is the
real deal and genuine? Such a strange belief, of course, is just
downright silly.
In addition to Shaneyfelt's determination regarding the negative to
CE133-B having positively been taken with Oswald's very own camera,
there is, of course, the testimony of the person who admitted to
having taken the backyard photos--Marina Oswald.
Marina has said on multiple occasions that she positively remembers
taking pictures of her husband, Lee, while Lee was dressed all in
black and was holding a rifle and some newspapers. As recently as
November 30, 2000, Marina told a researcher (Vincent Bugliosi) that
she had, indeed, taken the backyard photos herself.
Plus, there is the re-creation of the backyard photos that was done by
CBS-TV in 1967 for the June '67 CBS four-part special "A CBS NEWS
INQUIRY: THE WARREN REPORT".
During the photo re-creation, a man went to the location where Marina
Oswald took the backyard pictures (214 Neely Street in Dallas, Texas)
to see if an exact replica of the original photos could be achieved.
On March 31, 1967, at approximately noontime (luckily it was a sunny
day on 3/31/67, as it was on the day when Marina took the pictures of
LHO, which was 3/31/63), a man was photographed in the Neely Street
backyard.
The end result of the photo re-enactment was that the shadows that
appear in the 1967 photo were EXACTLY THE SAME as they appear in the
1963 Oswald backyard photographs, right down to the ANGLED body shadow
and the STRAIGHT nose shadow.
The 3/31/67 photo reconstruction, which was an actual AT THE NEELY
STREET SITE test (not just a test done on paper or on a computer),
verifies beyond all possible doubt that the shadow patterns exhibited
in the 1963 Oswald backyard photos are perfectly consistent with
shadows that exist in a photo that was taken in 1967 for comparison
purposes.
Do conspiracy theorists now want to believe that the 1967 CBS photo
(which contains the exact same shadow pattern as the LHO photos) is a
fake and a fraud too? If not, then how can conspiracists continue to
cry "foul" when it comes to one of their favorite gripes--the so-
called "shadow problems" with the LHO backyard photos?
Mr. DiEugenio and Prof. Fetzer should watch the video linked below. It
forever debunks the conspiracists who continue to insist that the
backyard pictures are phonies based on any kind of "shadow" anomalies
or discrepancies.
I apologize for the poor quality of this 1967 video excerpt, but my
only source material for this CBS program is not very good. But even
though the picture quality of this clip is fuzzy, the conclusions
about the backyard photos that are revealed in this video segment are
quite clear and persuasive:
http://www.DVP-Potpourri.blogspot.com/2009/12/oswald-backyard-photos.html
IN SUMMARY:
In light of all the rock-solid evidence (such as the evidence
mentioned above) that indicates beyond all reasonable doubt that the
"backyard photographs" of Lee Harvey Oswald have not been tampered
with, conspiracy promoters who continue to want to peddle the theory
that the photos are fakes are merely living in a dream world....a
world where their conspiracy-filled fantasies have somehow been able
to trump the known facts.

I would agree...If people can't see that CE 133B is a fake then they
are blind..... A person doesn't have to be a photo expert to see that
the shadow of the rifle points to nine o'clock ( relative to Oswald's
body shadow) while the rifle is actually being held with the rifle
pointing to 11:00 o'clock.
There other item that indicates CE 133B is a fake is the tip of the
rifle butt that was left on the white picket fence. There is a black
triangle on the fence to the rear of Oswald. This triangle is a
remnant from a pose of an Oswald image in front of the fence with the
rifle. When the manipulator moved the Oswald image he obviously
forgot to white out that tip of the rifle butt and when he staged CE
133B the black triangle remained on the fence.

Everything Walt just said above is total bunk (of course), as
illustrated by the verbiage we find on page #596 of the Warren
Commission Report:
"The negative [to CE133-B], Commission Exhibit No. 749, showed
absolutely no doctoring or composition. Since the negative was made in
Oswald's Imperial camera, Commission Exhibit No. 750, a composite of
133-B could have been made only by putting two pictures together and
rephotographing them in the Imperial camera--all without leaving a
discernible trace. This, to [Lyndal] Shaneyfelt, was “in the realm of
the impossible”." -- WCR; Page 596

http://www.DVP-Potpourri.blogspot.com/2009/12/oswald-backyard-photos.html
Not to mention the HSCA report.
Absolutely.
Have there been ***any credible*** photographic experts that have
claimed that the photos are faked?
PHOTOS????...... Why don't you learn to read.... CE 133B is ONE photo,
He is and CJ posted a good story by Fetzer and Marrs showing why he
is.

An investigation that did NOT deal with any of the issues the pictures
suffer from, and I'm afraid all the LNers on here who argue they are
real, or that one is real, do not deal with them either.

What happened to the negative for CE-133A??? Let's say for the sake
of arguing the photos did come from LHO's camera, what does this
prove? The reason I ask is it is common knowledge to any honest
person that the HEAD OF LHO was PASTED onto the body of someone else!
PROOF for this was given by Jack White when he did an OVERLAY of the
two DIFFERENT photos and as expected NOTHING matched up, but wait, THE
HEAD DID!
This is IMPOSSIBLE IF THE TWO PHOTOS were taken seperately as claimed!
So all you have left is the point of someone, or even LHO, taking a
couple of pictures of someone else standing with a rifle, a holstered
pistol and some Commie literature.
This is a thought I don't think ANYONE in the CT research community
has even researched (if I'm wrong please correct me), that LHO WAS
TOLD TO TAKE SOME PHOTOS OF A "COLLEAGUE" with these items for some
mission he was on, then they swapped out his head with the other
person's! That way you leave some incriminating photo negatives
(allegedly) on his OWN camera.

Sorry but the chin issue, the bulge issue, the shadow issues, the
disproportional issues between the body and head issue, the head
matching perfectly in the overlay issue, the stubby fingers issues,
the body proportions NOT matching the rifle proportions issue, the
black clothes that could never be shown to belong to LHO issue, and
many more show these photos were faked by superimposing LHO's head on
to someonelse's body just as LHO said 46 years ago!

Of course they are as LNers like Wally argue 133C came from the
NEGATIVE OF CE-133A yet as YOU just said this negavtive was NEVER
DISCOVERED! So how do you prove this claim? Furthermore, 133C was
UNCROPPED so it had to be the master and NOT the copy, yet it was NOT
"found" UNTIL 1967!
Please explain this for us Dave Von Con!

They are all fake, and you are right when you say it is "silly" to
claim one of them are real, but we have TWO guys claiming to be CTers
who MAKE THIS EXACT CLAIM!
Given the vast issues facing these photos I agree with you on the
point that they are ALL either fake or real. I of course believe they
are ALL fake given the issues.

She said she took one, then two, so which is it? Who can CORROBORATE
her story? What evidence can CORROBORATE her story? Do you have a
receipt from the place they developed these photos? Any witness that
can say he saw LHO "develop" them at Jaggers while he worked there?
Any neighbor who said they saw LHO posing for these photos in his
"Darth Vadar" getup? Any evidence at all?

She continues to lie, what else is your point? She has NO
CORROBORATING evidence or witnesses for her claim, and we know from
the get-go she did things for money! I guess Bugman paid her enough
to say this!

So they could make things go INTO FULL BLOOM on March 31st! Are you
saying our government can NOW control the weather too? Of course some
claim they can, but I doubt they did in this case if they can.

Why is it "lucky" that is was a sunny day? The ACTUAL WEATHER ON
MARCH 31, 1963 was OVERCAST if one looks it up! Why is it SUNNY in
the BY photos? So on 3/31/63 we had an OVERCAST day yet in the photos
it is SUNNY and everything is in FULL BLOOM already! NOW that is some
"magic" photography, huh?

So the photos were FAKED in the re-enactment too???? That is the ONLY
way to get shadows SHOWING DIFFERENT times in ONE photo!

Sure they did, ONLY a moronic, lying WC shill like you would believe
it is POSSIBLE to have shadows showing different times IN ONE PHOTO!
There is a whole field of study on shadows for time telling so UNLESS
you can produce some expert from that field who tells us it is NORMAL
to see TWO DIFFERENT TIMES (based on shadows) in one photo you are out
of luck.
How did our ancestors use "SUN DIALS" IF you can get TWO DIFFERENT
times in a span of a second or less?

Yes, because the original were fakes for VERY SOUND REASONS, so
anything that claims to match the results are faked too!

ONLY an imbecile of the highest grade would believe this junk you are
spewing.
IT destroys the centuries of knowledge gathered in regards to sun
dials in one stroke.
Just how dumb are you?

You are a liar Dave, but we all know this already. The bottom line is
this--the photos are fake BASED ON MANY SOUND REASONS, but even if
they were not, they do NOT PROVE that LHO took a rifle to work on
11/22/63 and shot JFK and JBC by themselves! They have NO real
evidence to show this claim is correct, so they hang their hats on
some very unreliable photos taken NEARLY 8 MONTHS BEFORE THE CRIME
THEY ACCUSED LHO OF!
(snip the additional propaganda!)
James Fetzer, now there is an accurate source. <snicker>
Hummm trust the HACK Jack White or a photographic expert like Andrew
Davidhazy? No there is a tough one...
Also not to mention: ShutterBun's recent 3D study:
http://groups.google.com/group/alt.assassination.jfk/browse_frm/thread/3c0ca56d1d1bedb
I'm sure Jack White or that nut Fetzer could whip up something like
this in no time!
That's one stupendous LNT'er rebuttal, eh??!! LMAO!

Hey SB..... You don't heve a clue...
You said ..."Of course they are as LNers like Wally argue 133C came
from the NEGATIVE OF CE-133A "
I have NEVER made any such argument, because I don't believe what you
claim I believe.
The problem arose due to your ignorance ....You don't know how to
identify one BY photo from another. I said that CE 133A and the De
morhenschildt print were both made from the same negative....but in
your stupidity you thought that the De Morhenschildt print was 133c.

Games won't save you liar. YOU claimed the DeMohrenschildt photo and
CE-133A came from the SAME NEGATIVE and all you have done is RUN from
showing this is correct.
How come WC shill?
When you get your head out of your ass....let me know so I can point
out to you that CE 133a and the De Morhenschildt print are the same
picture. The only difference is Ce 133A has been cropped...while the
De m print is full frame.
Claims of things that you CANNOT SUPPORT won't save you WC shill!
Evidence that supports you is YOUR only hope, but of course we know
you can NEVER provide this stuff!
Run WC SHILL, run!
