Please cease and desist in your ad hominems and argument by intimidation. I cannot be intimidated, period. Been through it all (or nearly all). Your tactics have, if anything, a counterproductive effect on Morgan, who relishes a challenge, and likewise has an adverse effect on the appeal of your argument upon most third party observers, I suspect.
Q1: Can you or Allan please fill in my lack of knowledge about the caption? Amateurish would point to family production, not professionals of the CIA. Yes, this can be argued many ways, I just want whatever facts are available.
Q2: Can you comment on Conein's hairline in his 1962-63 photo versus the Altgen figure? Conein has too much hair in all his photos, including the 1981 interview video cited earlier, to be the Altgen figure, IMO. What say you?
Q3: Is the Dealey Plaza figure Adams? Yes, I strongly believe so but it is not a 100% "lock" like Gerald P. Hemming is. I do not have a strong suspicion about some John Q. Citizen (Frank Caplett according to Allan) volunteering to "correct" something in "error" on the internet. This is very likely perfectly innocent, though new interviews and more data likely could resolve this aspect of the dispute. A volunteer citizen stepping forward to "correct" something typically has no idea he is about to set off a brouhaha. I've been approached by earnest citizens with something to say or offer about 9/11, that is, to correct me.
Isn't the bottomline proving that CIA agents were present in Dealey Plaza? That is the real game afoot. It isn't truly, truly about whether Conein is in the Altgen photo. A resemblance is there, yes, but on close inspection the case fails, IMO. You want it to be Conein, badly it seems, and I don't care either way, it's just about getting it right.
Btw, Jack White has lowered his assessment of the odds to 55 it is Conein and 45 Adams from his previous 80-20 in favor of Conein. Hope that's OK to reveal, Jack.
Yes...that is OK, provided you also specify that I find the comparisons
to be inconclusive for various reasons on further study. I think
the odds are that Conein was in DP, and this fellow certainly looks like
him. It is much like the LHO-Lovelady image in Altgens 6. It is unimportant
if the man in the doorway is Lovelady; it is important ONLY if it is LHO.
Same here in THIS Altgens photo...(interesting!)...it is unimportant
if it is Adams; it is important ONLY if it is Conein.
For what its worth, since Altgens disavowed several of his photos (5 and 8),
and 7 is questionable and 6 shows LHO-Lovelady, and 4 shows Conein-Hemming-
Adams...I am beginning to wonder whether ALL Altgens photos are suspect!
What if someone is playing a trick (as Prouty suggests was Conein's practice)
of creating false trails. What if he had himself and Hemming INSERTED into
photos as a private joke? What if he had lined up a doppelganger in Adams
in case the joke is discovered? I believe that ALTGENS needs further investigation,
especially given that he and his wife died together by carbon monoxide; Adams
also is conveniently dead.
This matter is by no means cut and dried as everyone feels, but may be
part of a wilderness of mirrors. Are we looking at reflections or reality?
I say the Adams-Conein comparisons are INCONCLUSIVE, as I have stated
from the beginning. If forced to choose, I'd say Conein.
Jack
