The lighting of the Christmas Tree at Saint Mary’s University in San Antonio, Texas. December 2024.
Shot with a DJI Mavic Pro 3 drone.
The client isn’t happy with the “bald spot” of inactive lights in the middle of the Tree.
I have tried to fill it in using After Effects and I couldn’t get it to work.
I tried isolating the tree from the background, putting it into a sub-comp then trying to fill in the blank space with “Content Aware Fill” I think THAT should have worked, but it didn’t work. Or at least, I couldn’t get it to work.
Wagner is unique in that while he is on the Lone Gunman side, he disagrees with the single bullet theory.
Episode 3, Gerald “Case Closed” Posner

Episode 4, Dr Martin J Kelly, Jr. Uploaded Jun 9, 2024.
Episode 5, Steve Roe on the General Walker Shooting. Uploaded Jul 2, 2024.
Roe wrote a chapter on Gayle Nix Jacksons “Pieces of the Puzzle” and is writing a book General Edwin Walker.
This is (so far) the best episode from the point of view of production values and camera work. The subject lives near me. So instead of this episode just being a ZOOM call, I shot the conversation with my “real” cameras. I even brought along my drone ( even though there was no logical need for it, I just wanted to use my drone).
Also, I had a lot of documentary footage of Fred Litwin and Steve Roe visiting some JFK related sites in Dallas, and of Roes visit to General Walkers grave outside of Kerr, Texas. (Center Point Cemetery, Center Point, Kerr County, Texas, USA)
Dallas author Dave Perry discusses how he used his experience as an insurance fraud investigator to re-examine and de-bunk many conspiracy stories related to the Kennedy assassination and the supposed “mysterious deaths.”
Scientist Nick Nalli discusses the science and physics of the Kennedy Assassination. He analyzes the science behind the single bullet theory, the “back and to the left” head snap, and the physics of other issues.
This combines a ZOOM Call and some documentary footage I shot of Fred Litwin in New Orleans.
Episode 10, Don Carpenter. Uploaded Jan 23, 2025.
Don Carpenter discusses his book “Man of a Million Fragments: The True Story of Clay Shaw” Clay Shaw was falsely accused by New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison of conspiracy to assassinate President John F. Kennedy.
I took the pre-existing book cover and cut it into layers in Adobe Photoshop and animated them in Adobe After Effects.
Episode 11, Bill Brown on J D Tippit.
Lifelong JFK researcher Bill Brown discusses the murder of Dallas Police Officer J. D. Tippit by Lee Harvey Oswald as he (Oswald) tried to evade capture for the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 2025. Bill Brown has devoured every major book and document of the Tippit case, has visited Tenth and Patton and the other major Kennedy assassination sites many times and has an encyclopedic knowledge of the case.
You can discuss the Tippet case with Bill Brown at the FaceBook group:
This special episode of “On the Trail of Delusion” includes never before seen aerial drone and ground footage of the Tippit death scene in Oak Cliff (Dallas) and newly created 2D animations illustrating the placement of the people involved.
I shot this footage and created the animations to be used in my upcoming documentary ” The Grassy No” and I thought I’d use it here.
Episode 12, Eric Dezenhall, Wiseguys and the White House
Fred Litwin interviews Eric Dezenhall, author of “Wiseguys and the White House.”
The book is about the Mafia/organized crime connections some Presidents had. He also discusses his experience as a public relations consultant to big corporations led him to believe that the James Bond style “fixers” and hitmen we see in many movies don’t exist.
Episode 13, Dr Nick Nalli on the Acoustics Evidence and the Zapruder Film
Dr Nick Nalli returns to discuss the acoustics evidence as well as the Zapruder Film.
Episode 14, Scott Maudsley on Oswald’s Antisocial Personality Disorder. Uploaded Feb 27, 2025.
Fred Litwin and Scott Maudsley discuss Presidential assassin Lee Harvey Oswald’s (alleged) Antisocial Personality Disorder, Narcissism and other possible psychological disorders. They also discuss the books ” Inside The Criminal Mind,” by Stanton Samenow, “Marina and Lee” by Priscilla Johnson McMillan, “Oswalds Game” by by Jean Davison, “Reclaiming History” by Vincent Bugliosi, “Case Closed” by Gerald Posner, “Mrs. Paine’s Garage” by Thomas Mallon, and several others.
Scott Maudsley’s own video on the subject:
I had nothing to do with the creation of that video.)
The first episode of this series discussed what might be in the JFK files IF they ever get released. Upon his return he discusses what IS in them after President Trump released them.

LYRICS:
Who appointed Ramsey Clark, who has done his best to torpedo the investigation of the case? Who controls the CIA? Who controls the FBI? Who controls the Archives where this evidence is locked up for so long that it is unlikely that there is anybody in this room who will be alive when it is released? This is really your property and the property of the people of this country. Who has the arrogance and the brass to prevent the people from seeing that evidence? Who indeed? “The one man who has profited the most from the assassination- your friendly President, Lyndon Johnson!” —Jim Garrison
Fred Litwin, author of several JFK assassination books, ( I Was a Teenage Conspiracy Freak, On The Trail of Delusion: Jim Garrison: The Great Accuser, Oliver Stone’s Film-Flam: The Demagogue of Dealey Plaza, A Heritage of Nonsense: Jim Garrison’s Tales of Mystery and Imagination) appeared on the TV news and discussed the newly released government files on the Assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
TRANSCRIPT ( auto generated by YouTube)
HOST:
Who decide Well Fred many would say if not the original sin this takes us back to the Garden of Eden Garden of Eden in distrusting our government This event in 1963 Fred you went through that I assume you wrote “I was a teenage JFK conspiracy freak.” That also is in the past tense Fred I see you right I was What information do you hope to hold out here will give us answers we deserve answers Fred And it does It is shrouded in conspiracy and silence and cover up That much is a fact So what can we hope to to hold on to here is getting to the truth
FRED LITWIN:
Well I hate to disappoint you but I think that we actually have all the answers we need and people are going to be very, very disappointed by these documents The documents that will be released we already know what they are they’re already listed in the various transparency reports that were released by the various departments For instance you could actually go online right now and look at all the CIA documents that will be released under this release There’s around 2600 documents You could see them now They’ve actually been released It’s just a few redactions In CA some cases some documents have just redacted perhaps the distribution list of where the actual document goes to Like there might be a CIA location they want to keep secret
There’s 400 documents with social security numbers of people who are still living
So I hate to tell you that we you could right now look at all the documents and see the reductions for yourselves There’s not that much in there
HOST
And you’re telling me Fred that if I saw that and where you sit today that you believe in essentially Murphy’s Law that that the easiest explanation is the simplest explanation that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone from the schoolbook depository
(Personal Note: at 1:38 the Fox host is describing “Occams Razor” Not “Murphys Law)
FRED LITWIN:
Well I should also add that the House Select Committee on Assassinations they also concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald fired three shots and killed JFK Their conclusions of a probable probable conspiracy were debunked by the National Academy of Sciences which debunked their acoustics evidence The evidence is very very very clear that Lee Harvey Oswald was a lone gunman
HOST:
I think that’s only part of the story though isn’t it Fred look just a few months ago I visited the school book depository and whether or not we want to dismiss the grassy Knoll theory which I don’t find that credible personally But even if you come away from that experience saying Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone shooter that’s not then the end of the story And I’ll go lastly back to you Thomas The question is who set him in motion was he ever a government asset was there more in creating the events that led to Lee Harvey Oswald that day and to your records that you’ve had there um Thomas you only get what the agencies turn over to you

This is not “MY” Book cover. I took someone else’s book cover design, cut it up into layers in Adobe Photoshop and animated the layers in Adobe After Effects.
