Ditto for Dale Myers.

Myers has put his animations on display for all to judge. I have seen the Knott Lab website which contains a link to their YouTube animation:

https://knottlab.com/cases/knott-lab-presents-digital-reconstruction-and-findings-on-the-assassination-of-president-john-f-kennedy/

The website states they started by taking a laser scan of Dealey Plaza. So far, so good. That's what Myers did too. Then they explained the used just 25 photos and 7 frames of the Z-film to sync their animation. That is a fraction of what Myers did. Then we get to the animation on YouTube:


Compared to Myers' animation, its primitive. It looks like they were using 1980s technology. There is very little actual animation. Mostly it moves the perspective around and shows still shots from various angles. Most interesting were their various looks at the trajectory through JFK into JBC beginning the 1:38 mark. For starters they have JBC facing almost straight ahead which is not how he was aligned when the bullet struck. Then they slide him to the left. At 1:38 they show the bullet striking the left side of JBC's back. At 1:40, they show the bullet striking JBC where it actually did hit him. The continue sliding JBC leftward so at 1:42, it appears the bullet would have struck the inside of his right arm and at 1:44 it appears to strike him on the outside of his arm. Because they show this view from the side as opposed to either directly behind the limo or better yet and overhead view, we can't see where JBC is actually aligned in relation to JFK. However, since we know where the bullet actually struck JBC, that should tell them that is where he was positioned when the bullet struck. We know the bullet did not strike JBC on the left side of his back and we know it did not strike him in his right arm so that should eliminate those two as possible positions JBC could have been in at the time the two men were shot.

What I found to be most telling was this statement near the bottom of their webpage:

"This case is ongoing, but evidence strongly suggests there is more to the story in this historic event. Modern science refutes the Warren Commission’s findings on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy."

They seem to be saying their analysis is a work in progress. Sorry, but that hardly refutes either Myers work or the WCR. I would grade them with an incomplete for their efforts.

    You continue to show you do Not Know what is going on with Knott Lab. Yes, Knott Lab is a "work in progress". They are working on finding out where the shots did come from. Step 1 was their finding that the SBT "Is Impossible".

I always find it amusing that the people who claim the SBT is  BS: never explain why it is  BS: or offer a viable alternative. Could it be because there is no viable alternative that explains JFK's non-fatal wounds and all of JBC's wounds.

   Knott Lab and forensic science has declared the SBT, "Is Impossible". Follow the Science. Over the last 40 yrs, Knott Lab has been the Gold Standard when it comes to tracing bullet trajectories. Admitted as Evidence inside courtrooms across the USA.

I have never seen evidence beyond reasonable doubt that Solie and McCord were KGB assets.

It is a reasonable suspicion or deduction, but not much more.

It is a CT about Solie and McCord, that they conspired with the KGB.

Some CT'ers say the CIA was riddled with KGB assets in 1963, including Bruce Solie and James McCord.

Dear "BC,"

Is someone a "CTer" if he or she believes the earth is round, that we really did go to the moon in 1969, and that LHO killed JFK all by himself if they also happen to believe that the CIA was penetrated by at least five moles (Bruce Solie, Leonard V. McCoy, George Kisevalter, John Paisley, and Edward Ellis Smith*) before Aldrich Ames started spying for the KGB in 1985?

*Edward Ellis Smith was the incompetent dead drop setter-upper and eventually honey-trapped-and-recruited-in-1956 first "Moscow Station" who'd been sent there in advance of the return-to-Moscow of CIA's spy, GRU Lt. Col. Pyotr Popov, when Vienna was to be "de-sectionized" in 1965. Interestingly, Smith, after being fired or "fired" by the CIA, ended up being a Stalin scholar at the conservative Hoover Institution, a Commonwealth Club official, and a San Francisco banker. He died in a semi-mysterious hit-and-run accident in a well-marked intersection in Redwood City in 1982.

A 2000 KGB-authorized book** (published in the Russian language) about the history of the KGB boasted that Smith was the first CIA officer it had ever recruited.

Steve M.'s and Fancy Pants Rants' bugbear, Tennent H. Bagley, was convinced that Smith had betrayed Popov to Nosenko's boss, Vladislav Kovshuk (aka "diplomat" Vladimir Komarov) in Washington, D.C., movie houses in January 1957, and that he also may have helped it recruit a never-uncovered mole (Bruce Solie?).

TG-

"Maybe he (a man with ersatz Secret Service credentials on the GK) was a CIAer perp!"--TG

The CIA had facilities for fabricating fake national and international security credentials of every kind. That is not a CT.

Some CT'ers say the CIA was riddled with KGB assets in 1963, including Bruce Solie and James McCord.

Could KGB assets inside the CIA have produced a fake Secret Service credential in 1963? Who knows? It is a CT, indeed like the CT that Solie and McCord were KGB assets.

Were Solie and McCord actually KGB asstes? No records have ever been produced, either in the US or Russia, to verify that. No former KGB officer ever came forward and said, "Oh, Solie and McCord belonged to us."

Solie and McCord are not around to defend their names. Solie and McCord as KGB assets remains a CT.

JFKA CT's often look likely, but are unprovable.

Still, no one has ever disputed Sheriff Weitzman and DPD'er Hill met someone on the GK who flashed SS credentials in the immediate aftermath of the JFKA, and that the SS had no agent there.

It is one reason to have reasonable doubts about the WC LNT.

Which, at the end of the day, is another theory about the JFKA.

There was no shot fired after Z313.

DeMohrenschildt wrote that Oswald told him he had read Turgenev and other famous Russian authors. Marina's favorite writer was also Turgenev.

DeMohrenschildt: "Incidentally I never saw him interested in anything else except Russian books and magazines. He said he didn't want to forget the language - but it amazed me that he read such difficult writers like Gorki, Dostoevski, Gogol, Tolstoi and Turgenev - in Russian."

This account was from his very questionable manuscript "I'm a Patsy."

Here: https://www.jfk-assassination.net/russ/jfkinfo4/jfk12/hscapatsy.htm

Remember DeMohrenschildt testified that he viewed Oswald as a "semieducated hillbilly" that he had pity for. That's a completely different Oswald than the one he portrays in the above essay where he is "amazed" that Oswald read such sophisticated works.

GDM: "Well, he was not sophisticated, you see. He was a semieducated hillbilly... All his opinions were crude .. .'’ His mind was of a man with exceedingly poor background, who read rather advanced books, and did not even understand the words in them . .. So how can you take seriously a person like that? You just laugh at him. But there was always an element of pity I had, and my wife had, for him."

I'm sure Oswald read serious works - he thought he was an intellectual - but I don't think he had a clue as to what they were about. Recall what Thornley said when he tried discussing "1984" with Oswald? Oswald had no idea it was about the Soviet Union.

And from "Marina and Lee": "But her [Marina's] favorites were the novels of Turgenev, with their splendidly idealistic young women and their stories of life in the Russian countryside. These books stimulated her imagination and sharpened her perceptions, and that, in turn, increased her awareness that she was somehow different from her brother and sister, somehow different from her friends."

Dear Steve M.,

IMHO, the interesting thing about DeMohrenschildt is that in the early 1970s, CIA Counterintelligence analyst Clare Edward Petty determined, by reading some WW II VENONA decrypts, that he probably was a long-term KGB "Illegal."

Born in Poland (300 miles away, in Belarus)

Emigrated to the U.S. before WW II

Lived in Mexico during WW II

Was a real wheeler-dealer

PS Have you come to realize, yet, that Yuri Nosenko was a false defector-in-place in Geneva in June 1962 and a false (or perhaps rogue) physical defector to the U.S. in February 1964?

There is that gouge on the Elm st manhole cover which would line up with a shot fired from the TSBD SE 6th floor window about  2.5 secs after Z313. But since there was no copper element found in the examination of the curb then the question would be if striking the manhole cover could have separated the copper jacket and lead core such that only a lead fragment hit the curb? IDK

This scenario would work if Z224 was the 1st shot , Z313 was the 2nd shot and then the 3rd shot was fired in about 2.5 sec after Z313 , which struck the manhole cover.

Thanks Steve. Good stuff. Good luck getting the conspiracy kooks on this board to ever consider the fact that the Parkland doctors' observations confirm a single gunman.
