Let's take the magic bullet as an example. Not a single LNer will address whether the bullet's trajectory from the 6th floor of the TSBD entering JFK's back at T1 and exiting at C7 was even possible. They refuse to do the simple geometry to test this. The bullet supposedly missed JFK's spine yet exited with yaw at half the initial velocity after traversing a few inches of JFK's back/neck flesh. Not sure how it could have missed bone, but if we are to believe JFK's x-ray, then it appears to have smashed thru his C7 vertebrae and exited at his throat wound.
The HSCA Forensic Pathology Panel made repeated reference to disruption evident on the x-rays, namely fracture and displacement of the right transverse process of T1 and possible tiny fragments of bullet or bone. The exact location of the exit wound isn?t known. Don Thomas offered the following explanation,
?What might be supposed is that crushed muscle tissues, compressed by cavitation during passage of the bullet caused fracture and displacement of the vertebral processes allowing the bullet to pass through them.?
After exiting JFK, the MB proceeded to yaw and changed direction (supposedly while it transitioned from flesh to air)
It didn?t change direction, as JBC wasn?t sat directly in front of JDL and neither man was sitting bolt upright.
and smashed thru Connally's rib and wrist bones creating at least 7 wounds then turning up on the wrong gurney without a trace of blood, flesh or bone
It?s disputed what stretcher it was found on, and there isn?t a ?wrong? answer, it?s JBC?s or the kid?s.
on it looking like it had been fired into a swimming pool. CTs just want to know why this bullet isn't considered magic. The LNers just shrug it off and change the subject.
?For every complex problem there is a solution which is simple, clear and wrong.? - H. L. Mencken.
The bullet was by no means undamaged, and the physics (equations used to determine whether it could survive) give different answers depending on data you plug in (frame of shot, impact velocity at JFK and JBC, etc) which differs from sources. Some data (particularly that found in the WC volumes and FBI tests) shows that SBT shot circa Z222-224 could produce a 399 bullet.
Unless JFK was leaning forward, there isn't a straight line trajectory from the SN thru JFK from the back wound to the throat wound. If you think there is, then show us with a simple re-enactment. Point 2 lasers at each other at -17 deg and sit in between them so that they align with JFK's wounds. Then post a photo that proves the MB was possible to knock the wind out of the CTs sails.
Good luck!
Bullets don?t travel in straight lines. Especially after hitting a target. A problem exacerbated by rifling. Also bullet wounds in bodies are rarely paths?more often convoluted cavities of destroyed tissue (clinicians can actually fail to identify or distinguish inshoot and outshoot wounds, the determination of which is aided by associated morphological features).
PS There were just too many suspicious shenanigans done by the SS/CIA/FBI/DPD that suggest LHO was NOT a lone nut. Otherwise, you have to make up endless excuses for their irrational behavior or suspicious evidence they introduced, such as..
- The improbable magic bullet
Not improbable (see above).
- Greer slowing the limo down to a near stop AFTER he heard shots fired
Not a near stop (see adjusted Z-film). I don?t know if Greer had been drinking the previous night, which could have affected his behaviour, but who knows why he slowed down.
- The FBI scrubbing the limo of evidence and replacing the windshield
People aren?t callous lawyers?believe or not, people can have emotional reactions after a tragedy that result in maladaptive behaviour. The CT expectation that everybody turn into Sherlock Holmes and wish to preserve everything for the precious trail is ludicrous. Why did the FBI replace the windshield? Maybe because it big cracks in it. Not good for a future driver.
- The DPD's involvement in staging the crime scene, the BYPs, rush to judgment and delivery of Oswald to Ruby
Staging the crime scene? Sure, the irresponsibly moved it around for the cameras but staged implies wicked intent you can?t substantiate, same with their ?delivery? of Oswald to Ruby. There?s nothing actually wrong with the backyard photos.
- Medical staff's description of JFK's head wounds
Also not significant.
- Post mortem surgery, Humes burned his notes
I?ll give you 1 point for Humes? brining his notes. But unfortunately you lose it for believing in surgery.
- The entire autopsy: photos, x-rays, examination and description/analysis of the bullet wounds
More incompetent than suspicious. There should?ve been better pathologists there though. Half a point.
There were more than enough suspicious anomalies in the JFK assassination that in 1976 the HSCA concluded that the assassination was most likely a conspiracy.
Their entire basis for that claim was the acoustics.
Oswald's actions made perfect sense if he was a patsy, not so much if he was a lone nut. He could still have been heavily involved but not as a lone nut assassin. The LNers are actually WC Defenders. They're conspiracy deniers that can't afford to give an inch because it only takes 1 fact to destroy their world view and they will have wasted decades shilling for the conspirators. How embarrassing!
Not really making sense at this point, but still. 1 1/2 points ain?t bad.[/list]
