Just reading Crossfire by Jim Marrs. He talks about a film this bloke Atkins (a White House photographer) made, including bits from the motorcade through Dealey Plaza. Atkins made his film into a movie called The Last Two Days. I found a You Tube link for it, but naturally when I tried to look at it my f#%!ing computer crashed Anyone know anything about this guy? Apparently he's another whose testimony and evidence (ie, his film) weren't required by the WC...

Marrs pages 16-17:"That film was described as 'terribly damaging to the Warren Commission finding that Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone assassin.'"Ken, the two links you posted are from David Von Pein, described here by Jim DiEugenio as, Bugliosi's major cheerleader at the time Reclaiming History came out in 2007. He was all over the web proclaiming that Bugliosi's book would once and for all silence those who believed JFK was killed by a conspiracy, preaching to all how the famous prosecutor would forever demonstrate that had Oswald lived, he would have been convicted for killing President Kennedy. Alone. http://www.ctka.net/2008/von_pein.htmlAnd truly the two videos are pure orthodoxy--right down to:An assassin waits with a high-powered rifle in the sixth floor of an office building.This is nothing like what Marrs describes.

Phil, Von Pein is still all over the net promoting Baloney''s book. When Jim D listed the ones that he would have a debate with in 2009, Von Pein was one of them. Von Pein's excuse for not debating Jim D. was that he had staged fright and that his "paper debates" would do instead. I think Von Pein is a phony name. The word Von is German of course and is hardly used at all today.
