Has anyone here done any research on the late Tom Wilson?He appeared in The Men Who Killed Kennedy documentary and is the subject of 2009 book A Deeper, Darker Truth: Tom Wilson's Journey into the Assassination of John F. KennedyThe late Jack White had this to say about him:Tom Wilson was a retired vice president of U.S. Steel, in charge of quality control. He was quite an inventive fellow with a creative mind. He invented something he called a LIGHT VALVE for television optics which did not use a conventional lens.His specialty was using Macintosh computers for quality control of steel products. This included compilation of grayscale databases (256 shades of gray) and computer programs using production line comparison with the database so that metals on an assembly line could be rejected if the product did not match the data base. He became intrigued with my work on the backyard photos being faked, and wondered whether his grayscale technique would work on photos. He scanned the backyard photos, and was able to strip away gray tones one at a time, confirming that various elements were pasted together. Next he tackled the Moorman photo, and confirmed that the badgeman image was genuine. He brought out many details, including detail of the badge which showed an eagle on top of it. He claimed that his grayscale comparison even revealed the eye color of the badgeman. He confirmed the man in the hardhat standing behind badgeman. He claimed to find another man several feet to badgeman's right who was holding a camera, and he was trying to identify the kind of camera. After these two successful photo analyses, he decided to visit Dealey Plaza and study other photos, including the Z film. As an engineer, he took many measurements and photos, which enabled his scientific study of the Zfilm. One of his earliest conclusions (I don't remember details) was that the headshot took place near the steps instead of the 313 location. After studying the Zfilm in detail, he tackled the autopsy photos. With the help of Cyril Wecht, he videotaped autopsies and embalming and converted his videos to databases, enabling him to show that some of the "autopsy photos" were AFTER EMBALMERS WAX was applied, and thus could not have been shot at the autopsy. With the assistance of Ted Kennedy, he gained access to secret files in the National Archives, and saw classified photos of the REAL autopsy photos before they were RETOUCHED. About this time he appeared in Nigel Turner's TMWKK. He was in process of suing the government regarding his discoveries when he suffered a fatal heart attack. He had confided many things to me because he said I wasthe ONLY researcher he trusted, and who did not scoff at his work.That basically is all I know. Tom was a very nice guy...but far too secretiveabout his work for his own good, and ours.Some of his detailed claims appear a little hard to believe, but I also cannot claim to know the basis of his technique.
