TSBD Doorway man - Oswald or Lovelady? - David Josephs - 08-12-2012 James H. Fetzer Wrote:This is completely disgusting. You have no idea how open and receptive the public can be to TRUTH. and you obviously have a PERFECT IDEA how easily the PUBLIC can be mislead by a supposed "expert" when this "expert" decides to promote undefensible theories while refusing to hear conterpoint... refuses to look at it academically, and goes off half'cocked with BAD info, BAD data, BAD analogy, BAD observation abilities and just plain BAD SCIENCE. As I posted before Jim.... you are using the EXACT TACTICS employed by those you are trying to expose - to defend that which YOU represent to be true regardless of the actual evidence and analysis. You might as well just state that, "We have seen no evidence that Altgens 6 was NOT altered...." while you stand there with your EYES WIDE SHUT... Here's hoping the NEW BREED stays as far away from the proveably deceptive tactics of one James Fetzer as possible and builds on the real heroes of the community... to someday become heroes themselves. You wear your ad homs on your chest like medals Jim.... and have become the naked emperor taken in by the lies that surround you. Ralph should be ashamed of himself as much as Myers or Posner need to be... that you BOUGHT IT is most sad of all. Bye Jim... Good luck with your book/movie/special deal that MUST come with this garbage... maybe Tom Hanks will help fund the project? TSBD Doorway man - Oswald or Lovelady? - James H. Fetzer - 08-12-2012 Well, doofus, it was what is known as "an admission contrary to interest". They presumably WANTED TO DENY that Oswald was in the doorway. Therefore, it would have been in their interest to claim he had changed his shirt. BUT THEY DIDN'T DO THAT, which makes their assertion of special evidential value within this context. Typically, your ignorance of principles of reasoning and evidential standards makes your work worthless--especially when you cannot even account for ("explain away") the four major proofs that the Altgens6 was faked. I'm sure you impress other members of this forum with your sophomoric arguments, but you could not have passed a course in critical thinking. David Josephs Wrote:"EVEN THE WARREN COMMISSION CONCLUDED....." TSBD Doorway man - Oswald or Lovelady? - James H. Fetzer - 08-12-2012 Look. Unlike you and others here, I am interacting with the public all the time. I have presented evidence substantiating that Oswald was in the doorway--and the public does not freak out! the public is not in denial! the public is receptive to new evidence! Egad! You here on the DPF don't even know what Harold Weisberg, WHITEWASH II (1966), had to say about this. Or Jones Harris, for that matter. It is really no surprise that nitwits like you and Jan and Albert don't know the score. But at least you make an effort, even though you fail repeatedly. [URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1lCYzGD7Lk"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1lCYzGD7Lk [/URL] You don't know the difference between Lovelady and the man in the checkered shirt. You think that a sleeve up means that it is always that way. You don't have the integrity to admit that the photo is faked (the obfuscated man, the missing shoulder, BTM in front of and behind him at the same time, the black man's profile), that Oswald told Fritz he was "out with Bill Shelley in front", the 27 points of identification, the matching right ears, the matching left eyes, the matching craniums and hair lines--you really are something special, David Josephs! Special! You think you can match shirts like Doorman's and Oswald's virtually ARBITRARILY? I knew you were dumb, I just didn't know you were this stupid. If you have the integrity to acknowledge that the photo was fixed--and any rational, honest student would surely admit that--then the question becomes, "Why would the Altgens6 have been altered?" That is the question I first raised in "JFK: What we know now that we didn't know then". The obvious answer is, "Only if someone had been there who should not have been." And that would have been Lee. Have you bothered to read Harold Weisberg, WHITEWASH II (1966), since I pointed out that he discusses this extensively and explains the moves the made to cover up that Oswald was in the doorway? What we have done is independently discover and confirm what he already knew. Or is Harold Weisberg ANOTHER NUT WHO DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE'S TALKNG ABOUT? Jan has affirmed that she is a happy ignoramus, but you are hanging out there by the slenderest of threads and are making a fool of yourself. You need to catch up with the evidence.

TSBD Doorway man - Oswald or Lovelady? - David Josephs - 08-12-2012 Taking posting lessons from Craig Lamson now? Doofus? ![]() Now we KNOW you've lost it Jim.... Sad state of affairs when you can't even address the post, only insult the poster.... Why does what Fritz & Bookout write about Oswald's clothes, on the same page as the SHELLEY comment, have any more or less credible than the SHELLEY COMMENT? and if what he said is as true as the SHELLEY statement... how do you reconcile that with Altgens 6? Quote:You think you can match shirts like Doorman's and Oswald's virtually ARBITRARILY? I knew you were dumb, I just didn't know you were this stupid. No Jim... but I see that you can ARBITRARILY decide what is and isn't a MATCH based on very flawed abilities to do so. I can also see that you STILL have no clue how probability works or how it applies here... with a comparison of PHOTOS of shirts... not even the shirts themselves. You've become a sad, pathetic, bitter, old man.... no WONDER you sound like Lamson. :dancingman: TSBD Doorway man - Oswald or Lovelady? - Lauren Johnson - 08-12-2012 Question and suggestion? Is there a way to have an automated response to any post by Fetzer which cautions readers to against taking anything he says seriously while honoring his past contributions? Continuing these endless responses are what usually is called "feeding the trolls." I just call it just another Groundhog Day. TSBD Doorway man - Oswald or Lovelady? - David Josephs - 08-12-2012 Namaste.... If JF wants to burn those bridges so be it. another line from a song.... "You aint gonna learn, what you dont wanna know" - Black Throated Wind. and "Cant talk to you without talking to me We're GUILTY of the SAME OLD THING Thinking alot about less and less and forgetting the LOVE we bring...." DJ TSBD Doorway man - Oswald or Lovelady? - Greg Burnham - 08-12-2012 That Jim Fetzer has repeatedly refused to even acknowledge the Special Pleading inherent to his introduction of select items from the Fritz notes that may support his theory and his arbitrary rejection of items from that same source because they do not support his theory has been noted by some of his closest friends with whom I am in contact--and they are concerned. That he becomes agitated when this most basic of critical thinking faux pas is kindly pointed out to him is another cause of grave concern. And, yes, these were originally pointed out kindly on EF. That he refuses not only to acknowledge the possibility that the images in Altgens 6 are too obscure to make such definitive conclusions, but that he also seeks to deprive others of having their own opinion about the matter, is further cause for concern. That he refuses to allow other interpretations to even be considered, irrespective of their merits, simply because they differ from his own opinion, is further cause for concern. And finally, that he fails to be capable of detecting these aberrations in his own reasoning and behavior is also cause for concern. Upon emailing his diagram: 50 Points of Identification and his accompanying explanation to a colleague (with NO COMMENT added by me), I received this single word reply: "Yikes!" Indeed.

Stay tuned over the weekend. TSBD Doorway man - Oswald or Lovelady? - Phil Dragoo - 08-12-2012 Harold Weisberg on p 250 of Whitewash II (1966) is accepting the short-sleeve vertical stripe as the shirt Lovelady wore that day. Per numerous accounts including HSCA Vol. VI p. 287, it is not.*(see below) In Jim Marrs Crossfire (1989) "[HSCA concludes] it is highly improbable that the man in the doorway was Oswald and highly probable that he was Lovelady." Jim Marrs concludes the section at page 46: Most researchers today are ready to concede that the man may have been Lovelady. We can see that there is an exception. *HSCA: A widely publicized photograph taken by Associated Press photographer James W. Altgens within a few seconds after President Kennedy was first shot shows a spectator who bears a strong physical resemblance to Lee Harvey Oswald standing at the west end of the Texas School Book Depository entranceway. Altgens has stated that he took the picture of the presidential limousine, with the Texas School Book Depository entranceway in the background, just after he heard a noise "which sounded like the popping of a firecracker." In evaluating the evidence that Oswald was in the sixth floor, southeast corner window of the Texas School Book Depository at the time of the shooting, the Warren Commission considered the allegation that the man shown in the doorway in the Altgens photograph was Oswald. The Commission concluded that the spectator was not Oswald, but rather another Texas School Book Depository employee, Billy Nolan Lovelady. This conclusion was based upon Lovelady's identification of himself in the Altgens photograph and upon statements of other persons who were present in the Texas School Book Depository entranceway at the same time. Warren Commission critics have charged that there was insufficient basis for this conclusion, and have faulted the Commission for presenting " no supporting visual evidence by which one can appraise the resemblance between Lovelady and the man in the doorway, or Lovelady and Oswald, although nothing less hangs on the accurate identification of the doorway man than Oswald's possible total innocence of the assassination". This issue has also persisted because of reported discrepancies in connection with the clothing worn by the Altgens figure and Billy Lovelady on November 22, 1963. In media prints of the Altgens photograph, the man appears to be wearing a long-sleeved shirt similar to the one in which Oswald was arrested. According to a memo written by FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover to the Warren Commission after Lovelady had been interviewed and photographed in 1964 by FBI agents, Lovelady was reported to have been wearing a short-sleeved red and white, vertically striped shirt. Lovelady later explained that when he was interviewed and photographed by the FBI, he had not been told to wear the same shirt he had worn on the day of the assassination and that, in fact, he had been wearing a long-sleeved, plaid shirt when he was standing in the Texas School Book Depository doorway. This contradiction was partially resolved by photo-optical work performed by Robert Groden, a Warren Commission critic and photographic consultant to the committee. During his work with the committee Groden made photographically enhanced enlargements of the original 35 millimeter black and white Altgens negative and frames of the Bell, Martin, and Hughes color motion picture films, which also showed the spectator in the doorway, and detected a pattern of lines that correspond in pattern and color more closely to Lovelady's plaid shirt than to Oswald's tweed-patterned shirt. Even so, in an effort to resolve the issue even more definitively, the photographic evidence panel's board of forensic anthropologists were requested to study the photograph of the spectator shown standing in the doorway. Is it possible to identify positively as either Lee Harvey Oswald or Billy Lovelady, the man, shown in the Altgens photograph standing by the doorway entrance to the Texas School Book Depository at the time of the President's assassination. In order to produce the clearest possible photographic images of the spectator in question, the Photographic Evidence Panel had black and white prints made from the original Altgens 35 millimeter negative at various contrasts, density levels and enlargements. They included various enlargements of the spectator's face such as that shown in the photograph. The anthropologists were furnished with a number of these prints. A series of photographs of Lee Harvey Oswald, ranging from the time of his ILS. Marine Corps enlistment in 1956 to his arrest in Dallas in 1963, were provided to the anthropologists. While all were examined, those taken on the day of Oswald's arrest in Dallas received the closest scrutiny. Photographs of Lovelady were furnished which varied in date from 1959 to 1977. Of most interest were those taken near the time of the assassination. Due to the blurred quality of the enlargements of the spectator's image in the Altgens photograph, it was not possible either to identify or exclude positively Lovelady, or Oswald. Based on a subjective assessment of the facial features of the spectator, however, it was determined that the man in the doorway bears a much stronger resemblance to Lovelady than to Oswald. Thus, assuming it is either Oswald or Lovelady, and not a third party, it appears highly improbable that the spectator is Oswald and highly probable that he is Lovelady. In comparing the photographs of Oswald and Lovelady, the general similarities in facial configuration between the two men were initially noted. Closer examination of the photographs revealed significant differences in the two men's facial proportions: (a) Facial length.- Relative to facial breadth across the cheekbones, Lovelady's face is longer than Oswald's. (b) Lower jaw breadth.- Relative to facial breadth, measured across the cheekbones, Lovelady's lower jaw is narrower than Oswald's. © Chin length.- Relative to facial length, Lovelady has a somewhat longer chin than Oswald. (d) Forehead breadth - Relative to the breadth of the face measured across the cheekbones, Lovelady's is broader than Oswald's. (e) Nasal breadth.- Relative to nose length, Lovelady's nose is broader than Oswald's. (f) Nasal tip - Oswald's nasal tip is somewhat, small and sharply contoured, whereas that of Lovelady is rounder and more bulbous. (g) Forehead height - Due to hairline recession, Lovelady has relatively higher forehead than Oswald. (h) Hairline contour - Photographs of Lovelady and Oswald taken at a time close to the assassination indicate that, overall Lovelady's central hairline had receded more than Oswald's, resulting in Lovelady's higher forehead, as noted above; in addition, the recession on both sides of Lovelady's temple is more sharply advanced than Oswald's. Lovelady's recession was not uniform, and he has a downward projection in the hairline about one inch to the right of the center of his forehead. This eccentrically placed "widow's peak" was not observed in any of Oswald's photographs. In summary, Lovelady's face is relatively longer than Oswald's its length accentuated, in part, by more advanced balding and also by his narrower lower jaw and deeper chin. The asymmetry in his hairline is also a distinctive trait. The enlargements of the spectator's face are not of sufficient quality to permit accurate measurements. However, several features corresponding to Lovelady's traits can be discerned and subjectively assessed: (a) A relatively broad, high forehead; (b) Advanced recession of the hairline on each side of his head; (e) Interruption of the central hairline by a downward extension located slightly to the right of the center of the forehead; (d) A relatively long face with narrow jaws and a deep chin: and (e) A rather bulbous nasal tip. TSBD Doorway man - Oswald or Lovelady? - David Josephs - 08-12-2012 and the crowd goes wild.... sadly, changes not the fraudulent manner inwhich JF presents the probability two shirts in different photos exhibit similiar characteristics or the probability they are either the same or different. so that by default, only an idiot, by HIS definition, chooses the stated impossibility of them being so vastly similiar yet be in reality different shirts... ergo, says JF... the shirts are the same. Excuse me, this is Professor Fetzer, who must not have the resources at the University to first find out if his statements about such probabilities will be correct. No math Professors where JF teaches... and Google must be too advanced a tool. Thanks for the memories JF |
