JFK Assassination Forum

I just listened to the first 10 minutes of the debate and I was starting to get a headache listening to Rossley again. His strategy seemed to be to shout me down with his constant interruptions.

Rossley's website remained up for several years after he passed away. Out of curiosity I tried to access it again to see if it was still around. It's not. I think I told him once on alt.assassination.jfk that his screwy ideas would die when he did. They actually survived a few years longer but eventually vanished. I doubt there is any record of all the material he had accumulated over the years. It's no great loss. I can't remember the name of Tony Marsh's website but I'd bet that has gone bye-bye too.

By contrast, all seven members of the Warren Commission have passed on as well as most of the staff lawyers who did a lot of the work, but the Warren Commission Report still stands as the definitive explanation of the assassination of JFK. While some of it's findings have been fine tuned over the past 6 decades thanks to an army of people reviewing their work, the original parameters they gave us remain valid. Oswald was the assassin and the murderer of J. D. Tippit. There is still no credible evidence that anyone else took part in either crime. While the Warren Commission was unable to determine with certainty which of Oswald's three shots missed, I believe there is now a clear consensus that the miss was on the first shot. The SBT is still the only explanation that makes sense for the shot that went through JFK's torso and caused all the wounds to JBC. The parameters they gave us for that shot are still valid. They said the single bullet was fired between Z210-225. That remains true although I think we can narrow it down to being fired at Z220 plus or minus one frame and wounded the two men a few frames later.

A google search tells me that Burt Griffin is still alive but he is the only one I've been able to verify. I know Arlen Specter has died and I'm pretty sure David Belin has too. Not sure about the rest.

UPDATE: I did a google search and found out the name of Tony Marsh's website was The Puzzle Palace. The article contained a link to the website but when I clicked on it, ii indicated the website was not found. I would have been surprised if it had.

If anybody is interested, I found this compilation of various JFKA websites. I haven't gone through them to find out which ones are still operational.

I believe that Howard Willens is still alive. His book is very good and a very long oral history from Howard is available online from the SFM.

The SFM also has his journal available. I feel like I learned a good bit about how the WC operated by reading his book.

This is such a silly argument and I don't know why it needs explaining.
Zapruder had about two minutes of film to play with and obviously the main event that he wanted to capture was JFK's Limo driving past him because at the time who knows what he may have filmed, the Limo may have stopped and JFK could have shaken hands with the crowd who knows? So when Zapruder saw the motorbikes turning into Elm he started filming but when there was no Limo, he instinctively stopped filming to conserve the limited precious film, then when he was certain that the Limo was in sight, Zapruder started filming again. The critics must think that Zapruder had unlimited film but the reality is that Zapruder was well aware of his limited resources and wanted every frame to count!!

The Zapruder camera used a "Double 8mm" film format:

The film spools would be loaded and the camera would film on one side for 25ft

Then the spools had to be swaped over and the camera would film on the other side for 25ft.

When processed the film would be split and the two 8mm strips would be spliced together.

Is English your second language?

Sorry about that. I meant the midpoint between the first and last of the three.

Zapruder frames came from the "Cold Case JFK" Documentary.
