One of my correspondents recently pointed out to me that, on Gab, "@GhostEzra", had [supposedly] just claimed that "JFK.Jr., Michael Jackson, and Princess Diana are alive".
When I checked, the only mention of all three deceased persons was aerial photos of terrain related to the three -- each of which had a landscaping layout that could be interpreted as a "Q".
More to the point, "@GhostEzra" had posted this "IF" come-on, perpetuating the "JFK.Jr. is alive" LARP:
As a photographer who has taken literally thousands of photos of people, I testify that it is virtually impossible to exactly duplicate a pose -- with matching head position, eye direction, expression, lighting and clothing positioning. With any time interval of over a second between exposures, it is highly improbable. With a time separation of decades, the probability approaches impossibility.
The following analytical composite is composed of several "slides" from a presentation on avoiding "Confirmation Bias" -- prepared for my local "Patriots" group:
Upon close examination, it appeared that the right-hand ("recent") photo was a copy of the left-hand, "younger") image -- right down to tiny wrinkles in the shirt collar.
To do the above direct comparison, I:
- Scaled up and cropped the left image to compare with the right image.
- Over-tinted the left collar with color from the right one (using "Multiply-mode" transparency) The wrinkles match exactly -- including the untinted white shirt-back wrinkle that "peeks" up behind the collar at far left in both images.
- Using an "aging" filter, I applied approximately a decade of "aging" to the left image.
- Finally, I added a total of four decades of aging to the left image.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CONCLUSION: The right-hand posted image is a scaled-up, cropped and "Photoshopped" duplicate of the left-hand image.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As inferred in the composite, the only unequivocal, declarative statement re "The JFK, Jr, issue" is in QDrop #2611:
Either "@GhostEzra" is a liar (and a totally unreliable source) -- OR he is conducting a "PsyOps" operation aimed at "the 'tabloid' crowd"-- by playing to their Confirmation Biases.
YMMV...
