He never explains how somebody would ever assume they would successfully frame this on a lone shooter while firing from multiple directions. He never explains how you successfully approach scores and scores of witnesses, police, Secret Service, military personnel, doctors, pathologists, ballistics experts, x-ray technicians, photographers, Oswald family members, whole commissions, etc., and persuade them all to obey illegal orders and bend over backwards making themselves all eternally loyal accessories to murder and treason. He never explains how doing these things is a better idea than just leaving well enough alone and saying Oswald must have had an accomplice who got away, which would have suited any conspiracy just fine.

No magic was required, the wounds of the the two men practically form a straight line.

He took the fatal head shot. Just to add he had met oswald in mexuco and told to get OSWALD if he could in the 6 floor window if the SECRET SERVICE started shooting. but of course it remained silent and oswald was long gone.WOLF said he only showed his face because he was curious about this American who was looking for him.

I have always thought he was shot from the front one time only. There is no way the kill shot came from behind especially at that angle. The small amount of splatter in the front came the front impact of the bullet on his head. You can clearly see that in the film. The larger portion blew out the back of his head. All of which is consistent with getting shot from the front.

[@RexBernard-p5j]

The debris field splatter(if I can call it that) moves forward as expected. You would have to freeze the video to see it, but there are numerous still captures that show it. Kennedy had an entrance wound in the back of his head as evidenced by the X-Rays. The front of his head is a massive exit wound which created a flap of scalp skin. Keep in mind that the vehicle is moving at 11 mph into a wind gusting 15-20 mph which blew the bloody mist behind them and created a situation where the motorcycle driver drove into the resulting bloody debris field. Kennedy’s violent backward and to the left motion is the result of neuromuscular spasms from the result of having his brains blown out. He was also wearing a very tight back brace that day which caused his movements to be confusing. To the naked eye, and the poor quality of the Zapruder film, it does appear that the shot came from the front, but there’s more going on here than just the eye test

I have an issue with Thompson's description of the Harper fragment. The Harper fragment was occipital bone. Check of Larry Rivera's work. He has actually created a 3D model of the fragment and it fits right in the mid back of the skull where the bump is.

[@stddisclaimer8020]

@rickbucciarelli2778 Dr. J. Lawrence Angel, curator of physical anthropology at the Smithsonian Institute (who had studied hundreds of skeletons for law enforcement agencies and thousands of archeological skeletons) declared the Harper fragment to be “clearly parietal bone” that had come from “roughly the middle of the right parietal” area (i.e., above the right ear. There was no frontal shot in 3D nor any other dimension.

[@jackieow]

David Mantik, PhD physicist and MD specializing in radiology, verified the Harper Fragment came from an inch to the right of the external occipital protuberance, and nearby. The Harper fragment was blasted out the rear and resulted from the Z343 shot to the right temple. The Z250 bullet tracked (per Dr. Boswell autopsy notes and Mantik's revelations) from the external occipital protuberance area to between the vomer and the right eye orbit. This happened at Z250 and put JFK into an instant coma, which is why he starts to drop his hands and arms at Z251. At Z220 a frontal shot penetrated the windshield and then JFK's throat, jamming glass fragments into his face as seen by Parkland doctors and embalmer Tom Robinson. The Z286 storm sewer shot made a 7.62mm hole above JFK's right eye, seen by Tom Robinson, Quentin Schwinn (photo), Paul O'Connor, and Charles Crenshaw. As it shed mercury from the dum-dum load, it tracked to the back of his skull and exited above the occipital bone, as seen on Bethesda lateral skull x-ray. Also you can see the Z286 exit on good copies of the Mary Moorman picture. The bottom of this cowlick area wound shows a curved white line, which is the thickness of JFK's skull as just blasted open. The ejected fragment of his skull shows at Z286 above the Babushka Lady's shadow at its midpoint, flying up and to the left. The Z343 entrance from the diagonal front into JFK's right temple was seen as a 5.56mm wound by Tom Robinson, Dennis David, and Robert McClelland. It entered at the hairline halfway between JFK's right ear and right eye, as seen by the 3 witnesses just cited. Anyone who thinks JFK wasn't shot from the front is simply unaware of the multiple lines of evidence from multiple witnesses.@@stddisclaimer8020

[@LRRPFco52]

​@@stddisclaimer8020 Right front parietal bone is perfectly in line with a right front impact due to spalling. Bone fragments from the point of impact typically eject at extreme angles to the bullet flight path due to supersonic transfer of energy to the soft and hard tissues. Structures can't get out of the way fast enough so they eject perpendicular to POI. If the anthropologist studied terminal ballistics as much as bones, he would know this.

Salandria was right... the wound in JFK's throat was a wound of entry and I can prove it using Mr. Thomson's book Last Second in Dallas. There was no third shooter as Mr. Thompson would have us believe, (read his book). Having a third shooter on the Records building only further risked exposing the conspiracy. It makes no sense to involve more people than neccessary to achieve the goal. Mr. Thompson, as do most researchers, ignore what the Secret Service initially found compelling regarding the Zapruder film... the first sequence of shots just as the limousine disappeared behind the Stemmons Freeway sign, (the only part of the Z-Film which shows definitive signs of damage and missing frames). This squence, and specifically this sequence, is what proved that more than one gunman had to be involved, and was directly responsible for the birth of the "single-bullet-theory".

Fascinating presentation. However, the theory presented assumes that ONLY the shots can cause the movement of the debris from the head wound. But we know that the president's head snapped forcefully back and to the left rear, exactly the direction of some of the debris. Moreover, that rearward movement of the head itself can be explained by a neuro-muscular reaction to the bullet wound to the brain. A shot TO the right front would have produced an exit wound in the left or rear of the head and that simply was not found at the autopsy. Moreover, it's clear from the Zapruder film itself that the wound on the right side of the head is a massive exit wound, not a neat round little entrance wound. Plus, where did this 4th bullet go?

Head shots with x-rays, I thought Nova’s documentary “Cold Case JFK” covered that and was convincing.

[@-danR]

Thompson should have gone with his original granular analysis, which has been reiterated from the beginning to the present day, including computed analyses, and frame-smoothed variants whose algorithms are tuned for motion-decomposition and not to support any theory: Kennedy's head moves _forward_ , an inch or two. Even if we account for Thompson's stated motion-blur and possible brake-pedal tap (which latter would affect Jackie's arm). The computer interpolates a movement forward in the frames because (having read no Posner book and seen no Oliver Stone movie) that's what it _'sees'._ It's there, and no blood-spatter analysis or rain-shadow theory can make it go away.

[@TitaniumTurbine]

@@MrKenny777 I’ll throw this out there for people to chew on. We now have modeled ballistic dummies complete with life-sized organs, blood, and bone that is completely representative of human anatomy, however our ability to create the same level of pressure, blood pressure in these bodies is in it’s infancy. Currently, a shot like that into one of these bodies is not going to spray blood under pressure - it’s just going to spray debris. Once we’re able to build a working pressure system, I do think the single shooter theory will become more acceptable, based on what we see in the Zapruder film. As it stands, only a few people, mostly KZbinrs, have recreated the events of that day with one of these more modern (non-pressurized) ballistic dummies. The problem is, you’d have to determine several factors, including the wind speed/direction of that day. And the actual trajectory of that shot. I suggest everyone try this, but I recently drove (again) 11 miles an hour down my block and it’s so incredibly slow, it was not only hard to do in my car but I felt like I was going so slow that a neighbor would think I was stalking someone. Lol This creates two conflicting problems in my mind: 1) certainly a target moving just 11 miles an hour is not a hard target for a marksman to hit and 2) the wind generated from the speed of the vehicle is not enough by itself to spray liquid to the rear (remember though that wind speed can be induced by climate). Lastly, to me, I believe the speed of the car in the Zapruder film is twice as fast than real time. My opinion though.

​@@MrKenny777well, it's important to remimber the effect the back brace he was wearing. It had a stiffening effect on both shots. He didn't slump but remained figidly upright after the first shot that hit him. The same rigidity caused his head, after being propelled foward, slingshot back.

There was no exit wound on the left side of JFK’s head. (No Parkland Dr. ever stated they saw a left side exit wound) 2. JFK was leaning to his left at Z313 and Josiah is not taking into account this and the forward motion of the limo, also the wind speed and direction. “southerly winds between 15-30mph would push temperatures up and with the unexpected sunshine” It’s possible the witnesses who were hit with debris rode or ran through debris that was blown up and away rapidly decelerating and falling back down and being blown to the rear by the prevailing wind. 3. Jackie, the closest witness never mentions being blasted with brain and blood (she was mere inches away directly to his left looking directly at him) Blood spatter patterning is very much a science in a room with walls and objects, not so much outside in the wind and in a vehicle that’s moving.

He mentions seeing his “ear fly off” (of course it didn’t) the side of his head opening up, and the Newman’s were the closest witnesses to JFK during the assassination. The Z film has not been doctored. Jackie also stated she was holding the top of his head together (not the rear) Grisly for sure.

The truth is already known. JFK was ambushed by multiple teams of shooters, none of whom was Oswald. Around 40 witnesses around the grassy knoll said they heard shots from that area and the Warren Commission ignored them. Oswald was an asset of the intelligence community since the Marines and was involved in the plot, but not as a shooter. Nothing except tampered evidence ties him to either gun. No court would have convicted him. That’s why he was killed.

Of Course, JFK was never shot in the back of the neck, he was hit in the back and G. Ford changed the location of the wound...was discovered by the AARB in 1997! and made public. I think it even made it to the mainstream media (New york times).

24:10 These people were subject to two different splattering events. At Z313 the material exited out the right side of JFK's head, as seen in live action by Bill Newman and Emory Roberts, which is why Roberts knew JFK was dead and therefore called back agent Jack Ready. That splatter was in the general direction of Jackson and Chaney. At Z343 the splatter was to the rear and to JFK's left, which caught everyone else on the list, viz. Clint Hill, Hargis, Martin, and Sam Kinney.

[@1olddirtroad]

[@LRRPFco52]

Has anyone ever discussed the difference between spalling and spatter with you? Supersonic impacts of high velocity missiles cause spalling when they impact the head, since the skull is a hard barrier with intracranial pressure. With rifle fire to the head, we generally see more violent wounding effects at the point of impact, but the destruction to the skull is such that it cavitates the skull and blows brain matter in multiple directions.

[@jackieow]

You are referring to vague generalities, my account deals with specifics of the JFK case. Spalling and/or spatter may or may not occur and at different levels. Even if a bullet is subsonic. Ditto for how much punching vs. how much cavitation. It depends on the alloy, the angle, the shape, and the velocity among other factors. Claiming "we generally see...." is, as suggested earlier, just a generality lacking focus or applicability. Clue: if you see two massive jets of anatomical debris exiting in two different directions from two places on the skull at two times during the parade and at two different points along the parade, you have two different wounds from two different bullets. And if one is from the front and the other is from the rear, that clearly means two different rifles and two different shooters and two different firing positions no matter how much spin you try to apply in the interest of fabricating confusion. Additionally there is a third independent bullet hole near the external occipital protuberance from the Z250 shot stopping at the front side of his head inside his face, and there is a fourth independent shot at Z286 from above the right eye, through the brain, and out the rear at the top of the occipital bone for a total of four head shots. Which is why JFK's head couldn't be dummied up locally at Parkland by John Liggett, and had to go for major reworking by Humes at Bethesda. And it was seen being done by Tom Robinson and Ed Reed. Noise about spalling and sputter doesn't change the fact they saw 6 different entry and exit wounds crunched and sawed into one big hole. Red herrings fool only those who are impressed by false distractions.@@LRRPFco52

I have also seen in-person the results of head trauma from rifle fire, and have gone through live tissue training in the military at the JSOMC at Fort Bragg. [This gives you a good background. But it does not predict the next wound you will see, nor whether photographs of it have been tampered with. Chances are the 180,000 doesn't include a lot of exploding dum-dum bullets I would venture to guess.] The near-90° skull fragment you see in Zapruder jetting into the sky is very classic for a right, frontal impact. [Any average guy you see walking down the street will likely have two eyes and two ears and a nose and a mouth. Wanted murderers in the FBI's Ten Most Wanted posters generally have two eyes and two ears and a nose and a mouth. That doesn't mean the characteristics of the average guy mean he is a wanted criminal. The 90 degree skull fragment you see jetting into the sky is probably you referring to Zapruder frame Z313. It might be a skull fragment or it might be a blob of brain tissue. Being classic for = resembling is NOT proof of identity or equality. There was a right frontal impact at the right temple, but it was a punched hole about 5mm in diameter, as in fact seen afterward in real life by Tom Robinson and Dennis David and Robert McClelland. So that was clearly, in this case, a punch in and not a fragment coming out and rising at 90 degrees. That bullet was likely an explosive dum-dum round loaded with mercuric fulminate or lead azide which blasted out the right rear occipitoparietal area with a 4x4 inch exit.. If you look at Mary Moorman's photo, snapped at Z316, notice the far side of JFK's head [where you can't see] already has jetted out the exit debris from the Z313 shot. Notice the 4x4 inch hole in the back of JFK's skull hasn't formed yet. Because it didn't happen until after Z316. You can tell Zapruder equivalent times for all this by paying attention to the position of policemen's motorcycle plexiglass windscreens. Because as Greer was slowing down the limousine the police were not slowing, and so in relative terms gaining on the presidential limousine. We know the right temple large wound (not the 5mm hole) was a bullet exit because it happened 10 feet in front of Bill Wyman and he thought he saw JFK's ear coming off toward him. What had happened the instant before was the bullet entered at the right occipitoparietal area, its dum-dum explosive pressurized the right cranium, and a blowout happened where the bone was weakest and thinnest, namely high on the right temple. It started to open as a thin curved slit, and so under maximum pressure the pressurized blenderized brain material and blood jetted upward. It was like a breadbox door barely opening at the top with a hinge across the bottom, and many of the Parkland doctors didn't even realize there was a wound there because being a lid or flap in form it was sealed up later so as to be practically invisible. The top was blown cracked open but the bottom remained hinged because the bone is thicker there and there is more connective tissue to hold things together. If a piece of bone had blown out the lid exit, it would have been noticeable for its absence. There wasn't any such event. So the bone jetting up in Z313 isn't bone but white brain matter. As the lid opened further and more ejecta was blown out, Bill Newman could see a hollow area "big enough you could set a baseball in there" inside the right cranium, so he pulled his wife and kids to the ground to protect them. Robert Schorlemer and James Carrico were the first doctors (or M4 medical student) to see JFK at Parkland. Schorlemer noticed the flap or lid at JFK's temple, now blasted by the second megablaster exploding shot at Z342-343, and noticed it opened outward and toward the left (due to the Z342-343 megablaster cutting the hinge at the right and center). It opened outward because that's how it was blasted, from the interior, from an exploding dum-dum bullet that had come from the rear at Z313 then was further blasted and the hinge partially cut at Z343. Most likely from Harry Weatherford at the Central Records Building. Z206 to the shoulder was deliberately weak, came from about 45 degrees above-- likely Dal-Tex or the Central Records Building. It entered only 1.25 inches and startle goosed JFK into flinching his head up for the Z220 shot. Instead of finishing the event with a head entry it bungled low into his throat. Z220 was a level shot almost parallel to the ground, going uphill, as judged by the hole in the windshield and the hole in JFK's throat. The Z250 underpowered shot was almost level in trajectory, so it was probably from second floor Dal-Tex. Instant coma, ergo JFK starts to drop his hands and arms at Z251. It was almost straight back to front, but the Z313 bullet was oblique from left direction at the rear to out at the right temple. The diagonal path compared to Z250 means it came from left of Dal-Tex, namely the Central Records Building. On super excellent copies of Mary Moorman you can barely see a dark spot at the entry. Either a dot smudge or the entry hole from Z313. After Z313 and the blowout out JFK's right temple, Z342 shows no gouge in the back of JFK's head. Z343 shows a gouge in front of Jackie's white glove. So the final head shot happened between Z342 and Z343. Clint Hill said he was massively splashed with blood when he was at the rear of the limousine almost ready to jump aboard, and that matches that we see in Z342-343 as Clint Hill is mid-air and almost aboard. So that's when a different megablaster bullet and wound was coming from front right at the 5mm temple hole toward left (direction) rear on the same oblique path as Z313 but backwards. The path was hugging the skull enough to emerge on the right side of the skull with the 4x4 exit hole and destroy the Z313 entrance hole, but the bullet trajectory was leftward and to the rear. This was a trick shot, so two bullets made only one apparent wound. Just a magic trick to fool the suckers. We don't see the bloodbath coming out of JFK's rear head at Z343 because it was airbrushed away. We also don't see it at another time because this happened at Z343. But Linda Willis and her family saw the huge red geyser to the rear, lit up by the sunlight, and Jackie saw the blood and brains and skull fragments on the trunk to go retrieve even though they are airbrushed from Zapruder also.] It does feel like something is off with the Zapruder film, [to put it mildly.

[When Dan Marvin was at Ft. Bragg Green Beret sniper assassination school, his class saw the Babushka Lady's film version of the JFK hit. When it was over the instructor said, "This is an excellent example of how to conduct an urban sniper assassination." Babushka Lady didn't get fame and fortune like Zapruder did because she was on assignment for the CIA, like the guy with the still camera in back of Jackie at Z342-343. The guy to the right on the curb behind Greer is Ike Altgens.] Remember that the MAFIA was formed to fight French invasions centuries ago, [in Spain to stand up to Napoleon, when the "little war" was being fought. Little war in Spanish = guerilla] so it was organized as a partisan military resistance force of undercover bosses, captains, and soldiers sworn to protect their homeland. It evolved into a criminal enterprise network between periods of conflict. This was almost too perfect for the OSS to recruit from during the War. [That deal was cut with Lucky Luciano, including mafia help for the invasion of Sicily in particular, and keeping saboteurs away from docked ships in the US. Also the US Government allowing their international dope trafficking.] OSS and CIA were populated with Mafia hitmen and soldiers in the 1940s, along with hundreds of Russian double agents. [As Sam Giancana said, there is not much of a line of distinction between the mafia and the CIA. During the Civil War the Czar sent a fleet to protect the East Coast and the Caribbean. Another protected the west coast. He had a few acknowledged Russian spies on foot spying out the Confederate positions and reporting them to Union generals.]@@LRRPFco52

Fortunately, for those of us over the pond, only one British Prime Minister has been assassinated: Spencer Perceval (1762-1812).

@@LRRPFco52 bullets don't always just hit something and stop, they keep going. If they hit soft tissue first, they'll often tumble or sway. Thus they might hit a rib sideways--flattening the side of the bullet. It will keep going until enough tissue slows it to a rest. Another bullet might hit bone or skull at full speed. It would dump some 1500 ft/lbs of energy in a closed container, causing the brain to exit one way, and push the head the opposite way. Hitting bone at full speed fragments the bullet. Those fragments hitting things like the inside of the windshield glass or chrome. It's possible a fragment hit the curb. It's also possible that the first round that missed also hit the curb.

Where's the exit wound at the front of Kennedy's head from the (last) head shot from the rear which JT believes occurred, per frames 317 onwards? No-one at Parkland described any such wound to the front of JFKs head.

"Where's the exit wound at the front of Kennedy's head from the (last) head shot from the rear which JT believes occurred, per frames 317 onwards? No-one at Parkland described any such wound to the front of JFKs head." That is not correct. Dr. Adolph Giesecke said that he saw that parts of JFK's skull were missing as far forward as just above his eyebrow, which is precisely what is shown in both the anterior and lateral x-rays. But naturally the majority of the Parkland doctors and nurses would have missed the more forward damage to JFK's head because at the time it was mostly obscured by his thick hair and his scalp. Remember that at Parkland, unlike Bethesda, they were not conducting an autopsy, and thus they never pulled back JFK's hair and scalp to view anything even remotely close to all 100 percent of the damage to his skull, nor did they take a single x-ray of his head. Once both these things were done at the autopsy at Bethesda, however, it was finally seen for the first time that the majority of the damage to his skull was actually in the front half of his skull, not the rear half, and that also there was more damage in the right half of the skull than in the left half.

He may have cited hearsay on other matters, but on the matter of the damage to JFK's skull he did not say that he was repeating someone else's observations, he instead said that he saw this himself. "Indeed, even accepting what he apparently said about JFKs cranial damage from the browline, that neither tells us it was caused by an entry wound from the front or an exit wound from the rear." Not that by itself, maybe. But I brought this up in response to you falsely claiming that "No-one at Parkland described any such wound to the front of JFK's head." Yes, at least one did, so "no-one" is provably false. You also seem to be forgetting the Zapruder film. Immediately after his head is struck, by far the most obvious damage to his head is in front of his right ear, with those big, horrible flaps of bone and scalp. No damage even remotely as serious can be seen anywhere in the entire rear half of his head in any frame. The hole in the right rear of his head described at Parkland is barely visible in the film. The damage in front of his right ear is many times more obvious. And I don't buy the claim made by some that those horrible flaps were "added" to the film later and that this is evidence of "alteration" to the film. Abraham Zapruder himself, only two hours after the assassination on live television, before he or anyone else had yet seen the developed film for the first time, said that he saw the right side of JFK's head explode. Not the rear. The side. And as he was saying this, we can see him place his own right hand on the right side of his head in front of his right ear to demonstrate. And almost all of the other closest witnesses on JFK's right also said that it was the side, not the rear, of his head which they saw explode, including Emmet Hudson, Bill Newman, Gayle Newman, and Marilyn Sitzman herself, standing beside Zapruder on the pedestal. That's way too much corroboration for the damage seen on the side of JFK's head in front of his right ear to be a mere figment or a later alteration to the film. And why wasn't that more forward damage especially noticeable at Parkland? Simple: because after she climbed back into the seat and had her husband's head in her lap, Jackie closed those flaps, so that at Parkland the more forward damage to his skull was mostly obscured by JFK's scalp and his thick hair (which was also matted with congealing blood, making the underlying damage to the skull even more difficult to see). How do I know this? Because Jackie herself said so. She said she was trying to hold his head together, trying to keep his brains from falling out, and she said it was mostly the *top* of his head and his hair that she was trying to hold on, not the rear of his head. "The autopsy pictures and x-rays have their own well documented problems anyway so are largely unreliable." Speaking for the moment of the x-rays only, I have been studying this assassination since 1988, and to the present day I've still never seen any real proof that the x-rays did not genuinely represent the state of JFK's skull at the time they were taken. What is your proof that the x-rays are "unreliable"? "Additionally, Thompson referenced the blood and brain spatter on the police outriders caused by the frontal headshot at 313 but makes no reference to similar particulate matter covering the Connollys or Greer or Kellerman if the second headshot had been from the TSBD." Oh, so just because Tink Thompson didn't mention it it automatically means that it didn't happen? It couldn't be that the true reason he didn't mention it was because he was being biased and selective in his citation of evidence? You didn't know that both Connallys testified that immediately after the head shot they saw pieces of JFK's brain land all over them and all over the inside of the car? You didn't know that Kellerman said that immediately after the head shot, material from JFK's head flew between him and Greer and struck the dashboard?

[@LRRPFco52]

Every rifle fire injury I've seen to the head with a center 1/3 impact causes pretty extreme deformity and brain tissue loss. The only ones that are rather benign are when you hit outside that 1/3 center, and the bullet rides in between the scalp and skull. JFK was clearly hit at least once in the skull, enough to cause traumatic deformity, skull fragmentation and ejection of bone fragments, and cavitation of the brain compartment with substantial evacuation of brain matter. Ruth Paine told Oswald about the TSBD job, after concealing a much higher-paying job from him. He had previously worked for a photographic maps company who supplied mapping services to the US Dept of Defense, to include maps of Cuba. Ruth Paine's sister was literally an employee of the Central Intelligence Agency, living in Falls Church, VA, at the time. She did studies on using video training for Radar operators and its efficiency in reducing manual-based reading training. This info has only come to light recently for obvious reasons. George de Mohrenschildt introduced the Oswalds to the Paine family. George was a Russian emigre, OSS agent during the War, and CIA operative at the time under cover as a petroleum geologist. The more you study Oswald's life, the more you see him surrounded by three types of people.

[@ghostsignal]

Oswald was hired about a month before Kennedy's trip to Dallas was even decided upon, and his emplyoment there was only temporary. Also, Roy Truly, the supervisor at the TSBD testified that Oswald and another man both got hired in on the same day, but Truly intended to send one of them to another building a few blocks away. He chose Oswald to work in the TSBD building on a whim. And Oswald applied for another job during his time at the TSBD. Oswald was definitely an intelligence agent at some point, but at the time of Kennedy's assassination he certainly had reason to be disaffected enough to do something crazy. I know if I had been a Marine and a CIA agent a few years ago, and now couldn't even afford a house or car of my own, I'd be pretty pissed.

An open-top motorcade could have easily been cancelled if it had kept raining. Have you ever fallen on hard times? You don't automatically lose everything you've owned up to that point.

@@minkowski4d You're spewing a load of hogwash culled from pro-conspiracy literature. (40 witnesses say!!) Back to reality, the anatomical evidence that shows the Harper fragment to be parietal bone; the witness testimony places the fragment forward and to the left of the limo, and the evidence of the Zapruder film shows all visible fragments going forward. Given that Kennedy's head was rotated to the left a few degrees at the time of the head shot, it would be impossible for a fragment from the occipital area to be blown forward of the limo, and very difficult for it to be blown to the left of the limo and onto the grass of the Dealey Plaza infield. In sum, the weight of the evidence shows the Harper fragment to be parietal bone, providing no evidence for the back of Kennedy's head being blown out. Corroborative of that, both the Z-film and the Moorman photo show the back of the President's head to be *_intact_* right after the fatal shot.

[@peterfraser9070]

​@@minkowski4d We know there was a 3rd shot from the TSBD; we know when this shot was heard, Kennedy's head was knocked forward (a simple slo-mo watch of the Z Film makes this obvious) and pieces of skull are extremely and incredibly visible above his head flying up and forward. We see in the Z Film the big exit wound above the right ear, and we see a piece of skull attached to skin by his right ear hanging down from the big hole right above it. This is what we see in the autopsy photos/x-rays too, and the doctors agreed with those. Agent Hill mentioned this "skin flap" and so did the autopsy report. Also, Parkland doctors Carrico and Jenkins explain how the misconception got started that the wound was lower. So now, what reason is there to keep saying, "The back of his head was blown out"?? For anyone wanting to step back and see the whole picture and understand the situation - even if it's the boring "Oswald shot Kennedy in the head" - you can cut thru the bs and finally see the reality.

However, that still leaves a minor probability that there was a second shooter, because that hole in the back of the head was not addressed properly. Overall, I would stick with Occam's razor here.

And, what resources did you use to form your opinion? Judging from what you wrote, it seems you rely heavily on the government reports and the evidence presented by the committees formed by the government.

Are you aware that Hoover was due for mandatory retirement? Are you aware that Earl Warren originally refused to lead the WC? Are you aware that he was basically blackmailed and forced to head the panel? Are you aware of AG Katzenbach’s letter to Hoover/LBJ? Are you aware that LBJ instructed the DPD to abort the investigation once LHO was arrested? I’m wondering what your answers will be, because you described the WC as “bipartisan”; I strongly disagree, I see it is heavily lopsided. Are you aware that Senator Russel initially refused to sign off on the WCR’s findings? Did you know he wrote his own report? Are you aware that another suspect was arrested and interrogated that day for the murder of JFK? Are you aware of two independent reports refuting the matching of the ammunition? Have you read FBI Weapons Expert Frazier’s initial inspection of the alleged murder weapon? The report he wrote on 11/23/63 less than 24 hours after the shooting? How about Vickie Adams testimony and her background before and after she gave her statement. There is PLENTY more I’d eagerly discuss with you about the WC, but I’m attempting to keep this short. I know all about the Z-Film. Are you aware of the chain of custody/events of that film? Are you familiar with the NPIC? Know the name Dino Brugioni? Familiar with the display boards that were made Saturday night? How about Sunday night? How about Kodak’s “skunkworks” division (that’s not their real name, but I think you know my sense of humor by now). Let’s jump to Alvarez. Do you know how he gathered the data for his test? Do you know how his data was analyzed? That he searched for objects that would coincide with his “Jet Theory”? That everything he shot did not show or experience the expected and desired result? So, his theory is in fact correct for the objects that reacted in the direction his theory professed, but that not all of the objects he tested showed the exact same results. I liken that to “knowing the answer before you ask the question”. Was he a brilliant man? Without a doubt. But his tests/results are inconclusive. I’ll stop here for now. Always looking forward to sparring with an educated opponent; it’s when I get in a mind battle with someone who is unarmed that frustrates me. I’m not the smartest guy out there, but I’ve done some homework and I’m pretty stubborn.

If you don't see something in a frame, then there's either something wrong with your eyes, you're not looking closely enough, or, most likely, you've got things mixed up somehow.

Yes, but it was a bit weird hearing him chuckle when he showed his findings. I have such a sense of sadness and shame that this was done by our own people and they got away with a very obvious cover up. There's nothing funny about watching a man get his head blown off while his wife is holding him from the first shots. The idea that so many people knew what really happened including the Warren Commission and each CIA and fbi director and each President since the murder. How did each one justify in their mind, to keep it a secret? Trump said he was going to declassify the full file but only was able to release a small portion before he was convinced by Mike Pompeo (former CIA director) and acting Secretary of State for Trump, to not declassify the full file. Pompeo said it was because many people would be hurt by the truth coming out. At almost 60 years since the murder, nobody of critical importance is left. It's time to release the full file and let the absolutely embarrassing cover up be exposed.

I agree with you about the shooter on the grassy knoll. I believe that person delivered the kill shot to the president’s right temple and you proved that by the direction of the casting off of brain tissue and blood on the motorcycle policeman and secret service driver in the car behind. I don’t believe a head shot came from behind or there would be brain and blood on the inside of the windshield, dash and the secret Service driver and passenger If a shot came through the front windshield that shooter would need to be with the police and railroad workers on the overpass and I’m sure that didn’t happen. What no one ever talks about is the first shot . Where was the limousine ? It was clearly a miss or was it ? I see some secret Service agents and people on the sidewalk turning to look back before the president was hit and they weren’t looking at the school book depository. I believe that’s the shot that hit the Chrome frame above the windshield and a fragment broke the windshield.

[@OkieRCguy]

One thing that has always bothered me about the assassination is frame 313 of the Zapruder film. All the pathologists state that the fatal head wound must have come from the front because the back of Kennedy's head showed an explosive exit wound. Frame 313 clearly shows the fatal damage occurring to the right front of the head. At that moment, you can clearly see the the rear of the head is completely intact. This would indicate to me the the fatal shot came from the rear. Furthermore, I don't believe that the fatal shot did not originate from the sixth floor of the school book depository. There are several points of the invesrtigation that point to a conspiracy. I may be totally wron in my assumptions, but I still believe that Oswald was set up. Thank you for allowing me to wxpress my personal opinions.

[@ArmyRanger483]

When the back right head blew out there was a piece of scalp still attached to a big piece of skull that acted like a hinge so the piece of skull and scalp and tissue swung around to the right side of the head still attacked by by the scalp so it layed open on the right side giving the allusion the wound was on the right side of head around temple. There's a frame you can see the back right looks flat because the rounded rear section cranium is blowed off. They say the back of head was air brushed out with black to help hide wound which was a large hole. Once he was layed on his back and the loose scalp and skull layed down back on top of the wound you can see there's no damage on right side of head and temple area.

[@mchapman1928]

The shot that hit JFK’s upper right back, exited his throat and went into Gov. Connolly. If the fatal shot came from the same vantage point, SBD, same weapon, same calibre bulletin, same shooter, the bullet would have continued forward, like the neck shot, and struck something in front of Kennedy. It didn’t. The piece of skull Jackie chased was on the rear trunk. His head jerked hard to the left rear, right at Jackie’s face. The shot came from the right side, probably the Knoll.

[@OkieRCguy]

@@ArmyRanger483 The point I was trying to make that the doctors testified the the back of Kennedy's head exploded and left a massive wound. Frame 313 clearly shows the the right front of the head exploded outwards rather than the back of the skull, which remained relatively intact. I am not claiming any expertise in ballistics, but rather what I can clearly see in the evidence provided by the Zapruder film. Please examine frame 313 closely and notice that the part of the head in front of the ear is where the explosive wound occurs.

[@darrell6800]

watch the PBS Nova study. There is a forward spray...

[@mchapman1928]

@@darrell6800 - I’ve watched that video countless times, slowed down considerably. We studied it in law school. There is a massive spray as he was struck, which is not uncommon in a head wound. The spray rises all around his head. The shot came from the front right of the limo. To achieve the damage seen in the video, with no bullet exiting his head at the front, the shot had to come from his right. The projectile apparently traveled into the grass on the other side of the road. A shooter from the SBD would not have been able to get that angle. The bullet that struck his upper back and exited his throat then into Connolly shows the force of the projectile. No, the kill shot did not come from the rear. The “official” autopsy was manipulated to fit Oswald as the lone shooter. Isn’t it strange that many of JFK’s autopsy pictures are hand drawn, not a photograph. The back of his head was blown out according to the original doctors who first saw him…..then the government took over the autopsy….and “told” the doctors what they saw.
