A Deeper, Darker Truth: Tom Wilson's Journey into the Assassination of John F. Kennedy
In the late 1980s, Tom Wilson, a retired research and development engineer with US Steel Corporation, designed a state-of-the-art image processing and computer analysis system using technology already employed by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. In doing so, he perfected a method (based solely on the physics of light) that could extract information from materials and images that were beyond human visual capabilities. Tom could, for example, detect flaws in a steel plate. This accepted methodology allowed him to serve as a consulting technical expert in criminal law cases where his image processing was accepted as hard evidence in American courts of law.
For more than a decade, Tom Wilson applied his computer image processing system to countless images of the Kennedy assassination. He stripped away layers of information to reveal truths that had never before been known. Some of his findings include:
o Shooters behind the picket fence on the grassy knoll.
o Alteration of the Zapruder film.
o Fakery of the Oswald backyard photographs.
o An individual in the “sniper’s window” of the Texas School Book Depository
who was not Lee Harvey Oswald.
o An exit wound in the back of President Kennedy’s head (just as the doctors who
attended the President at Parkland Hospital had described.)
o Exact location of the final and fatal head shot.
o Alteration of autopsy x-rays and photographs contained in the National Archives.
Reading like a mesmerizing whodunit murder mystery, A Deeper, Darker Truth chronicles Tom Wilson’s evolving series of startling discoveries that show President Kennedy was assassinated by a group of assassins on November 22, 1963.

Tom Wilson was a computer whiz who invented a process to look beyond the surface of photographs. Using his new technology, he examined the visual evidence of the Kennedy assassination, and proved beyond a shadow of doubt that Kennedy was killed by multiple people firing multiple shots from multiple locations in Dealey Plaza on November 22, 1963., and NOT by lone gunman Lee Harvey Oswald.
Photographs can be made to lie through manipulation, but the underlying substance remains. Tom Wilson's process revealed that photos were doctored to hide evidence of a massive head wound, an entry wound in the President's throat, and additional wounds in his back that were not documented. Even the famous Zapruder film was proven to have been altered to hide the spray of blood and bone caused by the fatal head shot.
This was a very interesting book, unlike all the other Kennedy conspiracy books. Wilson used existing evidence to prove that the findings of the Warren commission were a joke, and that a conspiracy really did occur. If you're at all skeptical of what really happened, read this book!

very interesting
Since this book was published would like an update since it was 30 years and it still very interesting, still shows the culpability of our government.

When I downloaded this book for my Kindle collection, I was ignorant to the fact that I had already come across the research work of Tom Wilson some time ago through a video on You Tube. Donald T. Phillips has produced a well written account of Wilson's unique investigation of Dealey Plaza assassination related photographs and JFK autopsy photographs and x-rays in 'A Deeper, Darker Truth', published in 2009.
Wilson was a research and development engineer who designed and worked automated inspection systems that detected flaws in metal, he was employed for thirty years with U.S. Steel Corporation. He retired in the late 1980's and became interested in using his image processing computerised quality control system on JFK assassination photographs, beginning with the Mary Moorman and Zapruder films. The initial finding of 'Badge Man' (Men) on the grassy knoll, behind the picket fence on the north side of Elm Street, began many years of investigations of still and movie film evidence that led Tom Wilson to the National Archives in Washington D.C., to view the autopsy materials, as well as giving testimony to the A.R.R.B. and appeared in Nigel Turner's excellent 'The Men Who Killed Kennedy'.
Viewing many of these enlarged blurry images, not just in this book but also those in Groden's work are like ink blot patterns to me. One person can see something, and the next person can see something else. However, there is enough clear and compelling support from researchers such as Dr.Cyril Wecht, Jack White, Jim Fetzer's 'Murder in Dealey Plaza', Douglas P. Horne's 'Inside the A.R.R.B.' and the work of John P. Costella, to name a few, that provide ample proof of cover up and fakery in assassination photographs, Zapruder film and autopsy materials. Yet, there is always something new and interesting that I discover in many of these books. Here, a man in one of the Phil Willis pictures, purportedly with a comms device in his back pocket, is identified as Navy vet Jim Hicks from Arkansas. I'm aware of James Hicks as a surveyor from Enid, Oklahoma, who reported a bullet hole in the Elm Street traffic sign soon after the shooting, and who testified at Jim Garrison's New Orleans trial of Clay Shaw.
Whilst reading this book, I was hoping that Wilson would have examined the Altgens6 photograph to investigate the 'doorman' mystery. Oswald v Lovelady. While this photograph is featured to reveal a shooter in the Dal-Tex building, it does not focus on the doorway of the TSBD. This is an area of interest to researchers that I work with, including Jim Fetzer on www.oswald-innocent.com
I arrived at this book already convinced of a shooter in the Dal-Tex and on the grassy knoll and I'm quite ready to accept gunmen in other locations, unfortunately I need further convincing of this or other photographic enhancements, although nothing would surprise me in this case...except Oswald was a lone nut.
