Whether or not CE-399, with ballistic marks from Oswald's short-rifle on it, was the bullet that was found at Parkland Hospital (at least you're admitting that a bullet was found at Parkland Hospital), who fired it from Oswald's short-rifle, how did it get so strangely deformed, where was it found or "found," and how did it end up being given to FBI agent Elmer Todd?
If it wasn't found at Parkland Hospital by Tomlinson, and if it wasn't found an innocent person somewhere else (the riverbank?) and given to his or her buddy Tomlinson (a natural-born prankster, evidently) for some unknown reason, which conspirator initiated the process of its being given to FBI agent Todd (or was HE one of the bad guys, too?), and why did the bad guys include Tomlinson, et al., in the "bogus chain of possession"?
Which goes back to my original question -- How many bad guys and/or really, really bad gals do you think were involved, altogether, in the planning, the "patsy-ing," the shooting, and the all-important cover up?
It doesn't have to be exact, O'meara -- plus or minus ten or so.
Oodles and gobs?
Poor old Tommy just isn't getting it.
Like all true Nutters he believes his theory is a fact. He simply can't deal with any of the evidence that undermines his shaky belief system, so he pretends it doesn't exist.
REPLY#146 of "The Warren Commission Sham" thread is a litany of questions and issues that brave little Tommy has ducked including this:
Tomlinson, Wright, Johnsen and Rowley refused to identify CE399 as the bullet they handled that day.
O P Wright categorically denied that CE399 was the bullet he handled that day.
None of these men were asked to identify CE399 by the Warren Commission.
Wright and Johnsen were never asked to testify at all.
Rowley testified but was never asked about CE399.
Unbelievably, Tomlinson,the man who discovered the bullet in Parkland, testified AND WASN'T ASKED A SINGLE QUESTION ABOUT THE BULLET ITSELF!!
He wasn't shown the bullet to identify, he wasn't shown a picture of the bullet, he wasn't even asked to describe it!
FACT - CE399 was entered into evidence as the bullet found in Parkland without a single person vouching for it as such. NOBODY IDENTIFIED IT AS THE BULLET FOUND IN PARKLAND!There is zero evidence that CE399 was the bullet found at Parkland and an overwhelming amount of evidence that it wasn't the bullet.
Like all good Nutters, Tommy isn't interested in evidence against his theory. He's blind to it and will hold onto his belief that CE399 was the bullet found at Parkland come what may.
He certainly has no intention of trying to deal with any of this in a credible way.
What he really doesn't get is that this incredibly suspect ballistic evidence is as much a headache for me as it is for him!
The theory I'm proposing doesn't NEED this corrupt ballistic evidence. I'd much prefer it if these four men all identified CE399 as the bullet that was found at Parkland. I'd prefer it if Tomlinson was asked about it and ID'd the bullet when he was giving his testimony before the Sham.
The conspiracy theory I'm proposing is as simple as possible so all of this is a massive obstacle.
However, the difference between me and little Tommy is that I refuse to hide from this evidence.
I don't have the type of mindset that allows me to ignore such overwhelming evidence.
Even if it hurts my own theory I can't ignore it and find it cowardly to do so.
Like all Nutters, little Tommy likes others to do his thinking for him.
So, I'd like to put forward a theory that the FBI were staggeringly incompetent rather than corrupt.
There are two very large problems regarding the ballistic evidence:
1] CE399 magically appearing in the chain of custody with Elmer Todd
2] The bullet or large bullet fragment that fell off JBC's gurney as he was transferred onto the examining table which then magically transformed into the four small metal flakes known as Q9
JBC remembered the bullet (fragment) was picked up by a nurse. Henry Wade remembered the nurse coming to him with it and telling her to give it to a police officer. Bob Nolan remembers the nurse giving it to him. Nolan then left it on Fritz's desk but at some point it magically turned into Q9, four small metal flakes taken out of JBC's wrist injury.
What if the bullet that fell off JBC's gurney was CE399?
The bullet found by Tomlinson had nothing to do with the assassination, it was a completely different bullet, but at the FBI lab in Washington there was some kind of massive mix up and the bullet that fell from JBC's gurney was accidentally (or intentionally) swapped with the dud found by Tomlinson.
This would offer some kind of resolution for these two insurmountable ballistic issues.
On the other hand, Hoover ordered that Oswald was the lone assassin before the investigation had barely begun and that all evidence was going to show that, no matter what.
