New book...A DEEPER, DARKER TRUTH

[Peter Lemkin]

Yes, that was one of, if memory serves me, two threads on Wilson on the EF. As Phil has pointed out any post I made [and there were many long ones relating about interactions and discussions I actually HAD with Tom Wilson about his technique and his work on some photos for me [for which he DEMANDED] the best possible quality, non-copied version possible!] - now 'air-brushed' out, as Phil put it. The book on Tom Wilson's life has many deficiencies IMO. First, the author had never before researched or written about things related to JFK's assassination. How the Wilson family chose him, I do not know. Second, it had been decided NOT to include the highly technical photonics, scientific theory and data - as well as the MANY applications for which it is used in science, industry, intelligence and other places. It was a book for the average person without a scientific background and on that it fell short, IMO, on explaining sufficiently the techniques, the databases he used, and the theory behind it. As stated earlier, Dr. Wecht would likely be the best person to inform about Wilson as an often used expert witness in Court. He was never successfully challenged and removed as such. Photonics is not an easy to explain science. Modern computers and optical input devices can detect several tens of millions of colors and more shades of grey than the eye can. Other data from the reflected photons from a real object or a photo/image/video can be determined, which the eye/brain can not discern. Especially when matched against calibrated databases [which Wilson constructed over many years], these can produce information not normally thought to be obtainable in photos/images. When Wilson retired from USS [as their photonics, and thus, surface quality control engineer for the steel produced] instead of being given a watch he was given what at the time was a mini-mainframe computer, which he used for his work. Lucky for us, computers have gotten more powerful over time. I especially custom built the computer I currently have with REPRODUCING Wilson's work in mind. I have been [along with everyone else] access to his materials. I also had a man break into my flat and smash this computer to pieces and abscond with most of my hard drives. It is now rebuilt [taking a year's work], with some loss of data.

Peter, Don Phillips is an accomplished author (see http://www.amazon.com/Donald-T.-Phillips/e/B000APF2BM)

In the book, he says that Tom Wilson asked him to take up the project.

What I should have said [and failed to] was if he was 'such an accomplished author' - with quality over quantity being the measure - why isn't the book rife with technical references and citations to the photonics literature that would not have left so MANY serious researchers scratching their heads or skeptical?!?!?!
