New book...A DEEPER, DARKER TRUTH

[Ray Mitcham]

Ray:

With all dues respect, they are not rhetorical questions.

If not rhetorical, how could anybody answer the two questions without being psychic? For example; who knows how many people have spoken to Groden about Wilson? Groden is the only one who may be able to answer. it's a bit like asking how many people have spoken to me about the JFK assassination. I couldn't answer the question so nobody else could possibly.

As I stated, if you ask who saw the presentation at the Ask symposium, people who did, could reply.

When I saw Wilson at ASK, he put up an autopsy photo, I think it was the stare of death photo, and he pronounced that "David Lifton is right. They took the bullets out. You can see one right here." I didn't see any bullet there. But he said this in front of like 500 people.

WHen I talked to Groden about this after I was quite puzzled. Since I have a degree in film, and I have studied photography formally in clssroom situations. So I know something about the actual chemical process that was used back then. (Its all changed now of course.) And even though I knew something about the chemcial process, I had a hard time understanding the methodology behind Wilson.

When I talked to Groden, who knew even more than I did, I asked him, "Bob, I have never heard of anyone in all the literature I have read on film and photography saying you could do something like that. I don't understand how."

Groden said something like: Jim I don't either and I have spent my life in films and photos analysis. In my opinion, what he is talking about is not possible.

BTW, not even Lifton bought it, if memory serves me right. And it endorsed his theory.

Look, I know people in the industry who have worked in digital enhancement of films. And they are state of the art. They don't understand Wilson.

Far be it for me to argue with an author I admire, but until we know more about Tom Wilson's methodology, it would seem a bit presumptious to say he was wrong. Just because we don't understand how he came to his conclusions, doesn't mean they are wrong. Maybe he is right, maybe he is wrong. Remember what the Catholic Church said about Galileo's findings.

BTW, what book did Wilson write?

A tad pedantic, there, Jim. I didn't say he wrote the book. I said, Tom Wilson's book, as in the title "A Deep, Darker Truth. Tom Wilson's journey into the assassination of John F. Kennedy." I know it was written by Donald Phillips.
