On this anniversary of JFK assassination day, modern computer technology seems to prove that Lee Harvey Oswald was standing in a doorway near the street when Kennedy was shot:

No, it doesn't .

I took a look at this, as I was curious.

All they're doing is overlaying photographs in Photoshop. There's absolutely zero "modern computer technology" proving anything. They're comparing photographs of similar looking people, and they're doing it by eye . . .

I'd add that even under ideal circumstances, facial recognition technology -- which is NOT being used here-- is unreliable for similar looking people and photos taken with poor quality.

Interesting...I was not aware that photoshop was available in 1963, not as modern as I thought I guess. The media went to great lengths back then to assure the public that was not Oswald in the doorway.

The feds still have Oswald's shirt from that day...you're right - let's just take their word for it.

Why are you assuming the overlaying work was done in 1963?

They're doing nothing more than to load photos in to Photoshop and look at them. Reading Shakespeare on your Kindle isn't "new computer technology" proving that its Marlowe, nor does looking at photograph on a monitor tell you anything different than looking at a photograph.

They're not even using the photogrammetric techniques that were available in 1963, much less any "modern computer technology".

No face recognition, no attempt to measure features by references to known examples, no attempt to measure interocular distances, no attempt evaluate geometry by lighting.

Its nothing more than looking at a low quality enlargement and saying "gee, I think this face looks a little like this other face."

Hmm, is that not the image of a coworker called Billy Lovelady?

There is a fabulous montage somewhere called One Hundred Faces of Lee Harvey Oswald. Not one hundred Oswalds, but thought provoking.

Ok so here is a theory for you, and its a bit of a mind fuck. The Russian passenger jet that was blow up by IS.
Was it really IS I know they jumped on the bandwagon and claimed it was them, but what if it wasn't?
It would seem to me to be a good way to pull Russia into a broader campaign against IS than simply bombing them in Syria.

Just a thought.

Considering the shock America got when the USSR got a mam into space
first.... the US had to play catch up for a few years.... but they eventually got to the moon and made quite a few visits to the earths satellite .

The mystery is... why have nt the Ruskies landed on the moon in all
these years ?
they seem to have given up on the idea and concentrated on their space stations.

The 'Ruskies', as you like to call them, were quite a few times on the moon.

This is actually well known.
