I should have posted this a day or so ago, but work and travel prevented me from doing this.
A few days ago James DiEugenio of Kennedys & King contacted me asking whether I could provide him with whatever I had on the Prayer Man films (shot by NBC’s Dave Wiegman and WBAP’s Jimmy Darnell) and which are being kept by NBC under lock and key.
I shared what I knew, but that did not reduce my utter amazement when DiEugenio sent me the link of a Fox News video featuring Jesse Watters interviewing Anna Paulina Luna
View the segment HERE.
Luna mentions tape, but it should be a 16 mm celluloid film. NBC has used low quality tape tranfers for media usage.
Nor were these films unseen or kept secret, the film was shared in 1964.
Plus it was included with the JFK film by Oliver Stone when the documentary Beyond JFK: The Question of Conspiracy was released.
The Wiegman film has been used in many documentaries, it has been freely available. Death in Dealey Plaza being one of them.
The films are not secret, the Sixth Floor Museum released a first genreation copy in August 2024.
That the orginal 16mm films need to stored at NARA instead of at NBC HQ is a given and from there on the best possible high res scans need to be made.
Following that deblurring needs to be pursued. AI could help with that, and until then the lone nutters and conspiracy theorists waste everyone’s time with their beliefs, thoughts and utter speculation. Your opinions are worthless.
This week there will be a hearing, the films may get some more attention then as well.
I am cautiously optimistic about all this.
Will we get the cherry on top?

My attendance at the last Dealey Plaza UK Seminar at The Abode in Canterbury in Oct. 2024 was solely as a spectator and I have to say that I enjoyed myself immensely 5th & 6th October. No pressure of putting a presentation together just kick back and view what some of my compadres had to say.
Yours truly with Scott Reid and Johnny Cairns.
You can view their presentations at the DPUK website.
This year the group is having its 30th anniversary in the Ashorne Hill, Leamington Spa, Warwickshire from Friday 27th June to Sunday 29th June.
I am going to do two one hour presentations with the first one being on Oswald’s fingerprints and the second one will be the Second Floor Lunchroom Encounter Fugezi.
See you there or wait for the videos to appear at some point.

Greetings all!
It has been a while since I posted as I did not have much to share and I needed a much needed break from it all. And now I have a few things to share with you. But before I start I wish to thank everyone who bought my book and also took the effort of reviewing it and heaping it with such praise. I am completely chuffed by the overal large postive feedback to it.
A new job, which I started in Jan. this year, was the perfect escape from it all. In early Dec. 2023 I was approached for it and after a trip to Germany I was offered the job within 15 minutes and the first 10 was just about my book. So after all it was good for something!
Although I did look at some things, the work I did is so demanding from a time perspective that pro-activeness wasn’t on the cards at all and it will take some time before I get back into the ring.
But (there is always one) I have started to collect some bits that will be used in an update to the book. But it will be quite a while before I even attempt to do that. I am planning to release a hardback version then and will also insert more photographic media. The print quality of photographs prevented me from doing this last year. Hopefully things will have improved by the time the updated version will be released. Watch this space for further announcements.
Instead I started to work on some technicalities of the Malcolm Blunt archive and I can tel you that in the past month I have been busy using OCR on about 15,000 PDFs to increase ease of searching through the entire set of records. This was the easy part as I could let it do its job in the background.
Next comes grouping the records, renaming and catagorising and rehousing it on a new Google Drive depository which I hope to have completed by the 61st anniversary. It will have a few thousand extra PDFs which have not been shared before. I shall announce its completion of course. I know this is a thankless task, but I wish to complete the whole thing there and then before I can move on. The beauty of doing this huge undertaking is that I end up reveiwing previously scanned documents again and this ‘break’ from all that documentation has enabled me to see further bits that I can use, also for books 2 & 3. Whenever that may be.
Oh yes!!!!!!
