JUDYTH ON “LEE” AND “HARVEY” WITH A SECOND LOOK AT ‘STOCK PHOTOS’

WHEN JACK WHITE SUBMITTED A FUZZY PHOTO OF "LEE" PLACED WITH A PHOTO OF "HARVEY"
THAT LOOKED TOO FAT TO BE HIS FACE (I KNEW LEE OSWALD), I DECIDED TO DO SOME
MEASURING. I FOUND A COPY OF A MORE PRISTINE PHOTO OF THE SAME “LEE” ON THE
INTERNET. IN FACT, IT IS FROM JACK’S COLLECTION – A PASTICHE INCLUDING A SERIES
OF PHOTOS, SOME OF WHICH I DO NOT ACCEPT AND WANT TO KNOW THEIR PROVENANCE.

THE MORE PRISTINE PHOTO SHOWED DETAILS THAT ARE ALSO FOUND ON “HARVEY’S” FACE,
BUT WHICH WERE WASHED OUT ON THE ‘FUZZY’ PHOTO (SEE BELOW). THE PHOTO SHOWN
ON THE RIGHT IS THE ONE JACK WHITE POSTED A THE EDUCATION FORUM. NOTICE THAT IT
IS ‘WASHED OUT’ AND DETAILS SEEN IN THE MORE PRISTINE PHOTO TO THE LEFT ARE MISSING.

OF CONCERN IS THE FACT THAT THE PHOTO ON THE RIGHT IS BLOATED. POSSIBLE CAUSES :
COPYING A COPY OF A COPY, ETC. WHICH CAUSES A POSSIBLE ‘PINCUSHION EFFECT’ – OR
SOMEBODY USED PHOTOSHOP (OR FAULTY COPYING PROGRAM) AND MADE THE FACE 'FATTER’
ACCIDENTALLY OR ON PURPOSE.

IT WAS A GROSS ERROR THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN CAUGHT BY PHOTOGRAPHIC EXPERTS.





The photo on the right is 9.2% wider than the photo on the left. It is a significant
difference, making the identification of the photo on the right as “Lee H. Oswald” more
visually difficult. Both photos are in Jack White’s collection: the photo on the left is more
“pristine” and has more details. I is closer to the original than the photo on the right, which
was used by Jack as an example of “Lee” in relation to “Harvey” as per Armstrong’s thesis.





“HARVEY” AND “LEE” UNCORRECTED FOR DISTORTIONS, SIDE BY SIDE

THIS SET OF PHBOTOS WAS USED TO SHOW THE THAT “LEE” AND “HARVEY” WERE TWO
DIFFERENT PEOPLE BY JACK WHITE, AND PRESUMABLY, BY JOHN ARMSTRONG. BUT THEN
I DISCOVERED ANOTHER PROBLEM. THE PHOTO OF “HARVEY” HAD ALSO BEEN DISTORTED.
THE WIDTH FROM EAR TIP TO EAR TIP IS 4.5 CM FOR “HARVEY". But when it was corrected
to 4.2 cm wide, (making it the same width as the famous color arrest photo, for the
same head length), the distortion of “Harvey” was obvious:





THE PHOTO ON THE RIGHT IS 9.6% TOO WIDE. A SIGNIFICANT AND TROUBLING DIFFERENCE.
WHAT HAPPENED? WE HAVE THE SAME “OVER-WIDE” PHENOMENON AGAIN. THE DISTANCE
BETWEEN PUPILS NOT THE SAME. EARS ON FIGURE TO RT. SEEM MORE FLARED. IT’S AN
ILLUSION CAUSED BY THE BLOATING. OUR EYES MEASURE THESE ITEMS AUTOMATICALLY.

NOW LET’S PLACE “HARVEY” (CORRECTED) AND “LEE” (CORRECTED) SIDE BY SIDE:





DESPITE SWOLLEN RIGHT EYE (LEFT TO VIEWER), THE EYES ARE SAME. EARS ARE IDENTICAL.
NOSE ON FIGURE TO RIGHT IS SOFTER, DUE TO YOUNGER AGE, BUT EYEBROWS ARE IDENTICAL.
THE DISTANCE BETWEEN PUPILS IS NOW IDENTICAL. SKULL SHAPES IDENTICAL. CONCLUSION:
THE MAN IN BOTH PHOTOS IS LEE H. OSWALD. THE PHOTO ON LEFT DOES NOT PASS
MUSTER AS EVIDENCE FOR A SEPARATE ‘LEE.’
