  I like the Image as it shows the bullet exiting the Upper Chest. Organ and others that consistently proffer this Visual Aid defeat their own argument.

   The interviews Thompson did are invaluable. They can Not be Changed. Seeing Thompson banging around like Columbo in a beat up car and sporting wrinkled clothing prior to achieving success/$$ with his "6 Seconds" makes me think his changing assassination philosophy was more in line with "follow the money". I'm Not a Groden guy, but he stuck to his guns and was rewarded with a card table inside Dealey Plaza on weekends.

  Yeah. Ditch that diagram YOU Posted due to it defeating your point, and instead proffer a suspect autopsy photo. Frying Pan Meet Fire!

Vincent Bugliosi, Reclaiming History
Written by Josiah Thompson
Epic book resurrects finding that Oswald acted alone in killing JFK
Bugliosi picks only the evidence that backs his argument

"Even more egregious is his handling of the trajectory through JFK's back and neck. A face-sheet on which notes were taken during the autopsy shows the supposed exit wound in the throat to be higher than the entry wound in the back.

When the autopsy photos were finally produced in the 1970s, a medical panel concluded that the course of the bullet through Kennedy was at an upward angle (the accepted number is 11 degrees). So how does Kennedy get shot from the sixth floor of a building when the bullet takes an upward path through his body?

The Warren Commission took the simplest course. The staff let the autopsy doctor instruct a medical illustrator to raise the back wound from the back to the neck. Commission member U.S. Rep. Gerald Ford then corrected a final draft of the panel's report to read "neck wound" rather than "back wound." Voila, a "back wound" had become a "neck wound."

Faced with that 11 degree upward angle, the House Select Committee on Assassinations took a more inventive approach in its 1978-79 investigation. It just leaned Kennedy forward at the time he was shot.
And Connally, who took a shot at a 27-degree downward angle? His body position was leaned back a sufficient amount. Voila, an 11-degree upward angle through one body had become a 27-degree downward angle through a second body, thus a straight line had been maintained."

This image is wrong because it assumes the bullet moves in a straight line through Kennedy. The bullet is travelling through several different layers in Kennedys neck which could have caused the bullet to arc upwards as it passed through his neck. Just like bullets ark upwards when fired through water.

The bullet never arced upwards as it passed through his neck.

A suspect autopsy photo?

   The bottom line of the ledger sheet rules most of these people. Bill O'Reilly included. Like I said, "5 Fingers" Groden stood his ground and that's exactly where he Fell.


Tink had access to a good copy of the Zapruder film earlier than most others did. He found a way to make some money from that advantage. Time/Life sued him for using sketches of some of the frames in his book. It appears to me that Tink prematurely changed his opinion of what the Zapruder film shows based upon the rushed, and later shown to be flawed, acoustics study by the HSCA. He apparently laughs all the way to the bank after pandering to his audience by telling them what they want to hear...
