David,
Thanks for these WONDERFUL posts... and particularly the composite graphics which you are SO good at!
You should put together a website with your take on JA's work. The more the merrier! We could start referencing one another and maybe slide up the Google pop charts a bit.
One of the reasons John's research was so original surely had to do with his methodology. Rather than being satisfied to read the research of others, he set out to put his hands on every original piece of evidence he could get.
And so he bought a microfilm reader and purchased the full set of FBI reports on the Kennedy assassination from UMI and went through them as meticulously as possible. Like the best of other researchers, he personally interviewed eyewitnesses to the Oswald legend, and he also travelled to the National Archives, wore the little white "evidence gloves," and looked at as many original pieces of evidence as he could get his hands on.
Remember the Minox "spy" camera that magically became a Minox light meter in FBI custody? John held in his gloved hands the Minox camera from the JFK assassination collection at the archives that somehow escaped the attention of the FBI. He said the little camera was much heavier than it should have been, as if it was filled with glue, or resin, or cement of some sort. Because of that special filling, no doubt, the camera could no longer slide open, thus making it impossible to read the serial number. John said the camera will no longer be given to researchers.
