The Wounding of James Tague Refutes the Lone-Gunman Theory

[Tim Nickerson]

Odd, that the West survey shows three points where JFK was hit.
Odd, that this survey remained sealed during WC hearings.
Odd, that the FBI misrepresented the West Survey in testimony to WC.

The West Survey does NOT show three points where JFK was hit. You're probably looking at a Robert Cutler production.

[Thomas Graves]

A shot causing minimal damage to mast arm would not deflect much.

Amount of deflection needed to make Holland's theory work.

If the bullet struck the mast arm "at a shallow angle", it wouldn't deflect significantly nor would the bullet disintegrate. Bullet fragmentation and the severe angle of deflection required to reach to Tague would result in visible damage to the mast arm.

    "The surface examination and processing revealed no
     obvious features that could be attributed to a bullet impact."
          -- A Technical Investigation Pertaining to the
             First Shot Fired in the JFK Assassination
             (Holland & DeJonja, 2016)

Iirc, the mast arm received five sloppy coats of paint between 11/22/63 and the day it was finally knocked over by an out-of-control motor vehicle, i.e., more than enough to hide a shallow dent.

Well, actually, since the late Tom Purvis received and shared Mr. West's surveys, then no, I am not "probably looking at a Robert Cutler production".

The last two shots were at 4+65 and 4 +95.

The late Tom Purvis met with Mr. West, and received copies of all his work.

Most importantly, Mr West, per instructions, surveyed in three locations. The final two were 4 + 65 and 4 + 95.

Also CE 875, the book of photographs, mentions photographs being taken every 25 ft., excepting 5+00, as this " was about four feet from impact of third shot".
So, 4+96. Or 4+95. Pretty close. Impact of third shot.
Second impact 4+65.

Just an FYI

Surveys? I have the West Survey, dated  May 31,1964. There are no markings on it indicating shots at 4+65 or 4+95. You are referring to an altered version of the West Survey. Perhaps one altered by Purvis himself.

Obviously, the one Tim has is a forgery and the one that John has is real. 😊

What about it? The Robert West Survey is not among those images.
