The Magic Bullet

[Bill Chapman]

From the Clark Panel Report:

The possibility that the path of the bullet through the neck might have been more satisfactorily explored by the insertion of a finger or probe was considered. Obviously the cutaneous wound in the back was too small to permit the insertion of a finger. The insertion of a metal probe would have carried the risk of creating a false passage in part, because of the changed relationship of muscles at the time of autopsy and in part because of the existence of postmortem rigidity. Although the precise path of the bullet could undoubtedly have been demonstrated by complete dissection of the soft tissue between the two cutaneous wounds, there is no reason to believe that the information disclosed thereby would alter significantly the conclusions expressed in this report.

Agreed!

Nothing the Clark Panel found would have changed their agreement with the official LN narrative.

Their job, like the WC, was to close doors not open them.

Phil Willis put a time stamp on the first shot by clicking the shutter on his camera when the sound

of that shot startled him. A shot at Z-223 would require a second gunman as you well know the

alleged murder weapon couldn't be physically fired quickly enough to be responsible for both.

You have a choice here - either the Zapruder Film is the accepted version of the chain of events in the assassination and this one is false.   Or vice versa!  I believe the film taken by Zapruder was real - this was not!    How they worked this over to get the umbrella man below sign level and behind - I have no idea.  It is just misinformation!  Come on guys - look at reality.  Where do you get a correlation between an umbrella midway up the sign and to the front with those from Phil Willis - No correlation whatsoever!  Not even close!!  So, accept the film from Zapruder ($150,000 pay out) or say it is totally false.  Your choice as there is a conflict - actually lots of conflicts when comparing to all the other supposed camera shots of the day - none of which were worth money but surfaced much later!

Camera angles can be misleading.

?Motorcade Cop Tells How It Happened,? Sunday News (New York)
, 24 November 1963, p.25:

Dallas, Nov. 23 (Special) - B. W. Hargis, 31, Dallas motorcycle patrolman who was riding
in President Kennedy?s motorcade, gave this account today of the assassination:
 
?We turned left onto Elm St. off Houston, about half a block from where it happened. I was

right alongside the rear fender on the left hand side of the President?s car, near Mrs. Kennedy.
 
When I heard the first explosion, I knew it was a shot. I thought that Gov. Connally had

been hit when I saw him turn toward the President with a real surprised look.

The President then looked like he was bent over or that he was leaning toward the Governor,

talking to him.
 
As the President straightened back up, Mrs. Kennedy turned toward him, and that was when he

got hit in the side of his head, spinning it around.

I was splattered with blood.
 
Then I felt something hit me. It could have been concrete or something, but I thought at first I

might have been hit.

Then I saw the limousine stop, and I parked my motorcycle at the side of the road, got off and

drew my gun.
 
Then this Secret Service agent (in the President?s car) got his wits about him and they took off.

The motorcycle officer on the right side of the car was Jim Chaney. He immediately went forward

and announced to the chief that the President had been shot.?

The following observation by Hargis confirms, IMO, that JBC was hit by the second shot.

JFK was bent over, hit by the first shot, yet JBC is able to turn toward him.

Something he stated over and over again and something he wouldn't have been able to do with a

collapsed lung, shattered rib and wrist.

Thanks, Bob the Forensic Pathologist. And I was under the false impression the spinal column was at the body's midline.

A lot of people have this false impression.
