How and Why the Z-film was altered

I have the posthumous A Deeper, Darker Truth: Tom Wilson's Journey into the Assassination of John F. Kennedy, and found it fascinating.

Dan Rather wouldn't meet with him, sending a flunky to claim there was no proof of conspiracy.

Wouldn't the family's and lawyer's refusal to give up Wilson's material be due to threats from shadowy quarters?

Perhaps the infamous blackbag job has taken the lot.

I always thought here was a steel analyst using the tools of his profession, a line of work which brooks no nonsense.

He identified dangerous impurities in the American alloy which unaddressed insure short service life and catastrophic failure.

Mostly I put what I knew about Wilson and my work with him on the EF [now all erased]...and have put bits and pieces of it here on this Forum. He analyzed several photos for me - one very important one [in both his and my mind]. As a scientist I find his methodology possible - it only needs reproducing it to convince others of its validity. That is what the 'family' is preventing - out of Naivte or threat or other, I do NOT know! I know approximately the size of the materials....rather huge!...much to most not even mentioned in the book. As you say, he was a steel quality-control engineer with expertise in computer visualization and evaluation. He happened to live near Dr. Wecht and Wilson and Wecht met. Wilson belatedly became interested in Dallas, something he had assumed was as the government had said. Using his techniques he soon proved to himself that all was lies and that he could use his techniques to find things in photos and on evidence that ordinary techniques could not. He had his own main-frame computer and developed his own software. Lucky for us, todays top of the line computers could handle what his mainframe could. I spent many emails and letters, as did Jack White trying to persuade first he, then the family to be more open with his materials to the research community. So far, to no avail. I have the contacts with the lawyer and the family. Originally, Wilson very, VERY naively was going to sue various persons and entities of the US Govt. present and former for misprision of justice, lies, conspiracy, cover-up and treason, etc.. He never got to first base......

However, he did find many interesting potential new clues, which most in the research community won't accept UNTIL his methodology is shown to be repeatable - it being so alien and impenetrable a technique to most.

His help on 911 would also have been sterling.

A person I trust, who had custody of most of the materials, assures me they are intact and protected....if unavailable. However, Wilson once handed several 'banker's boxes' of his work summary on Dallas - visually showing and explaining what he had found - to the FBI. I even have the name of the agent who accepted it, and a witness to its being accepted by that agent in the Dallas FBI Office. Guess what...the FBI denies they ever had this material - or any materials from Wilson. :poketongue:


N.B., Wilson did a little work on and with the Z-Film, but died before the major proofs of forgery, alteration, copies, et al. came out.

I'd also add that Wilson was accepted as an expert witness, without challenge, in many forensic court cases, using exactly the same techniques he used on the Dallas evidence.

All we have 'out there' other than bits and pieces I could add, as could a few others who had contact with him, such as Dr. Wecht, is his book. Do read it!!!!
