Like they actually know that CE 567 and CE 569 are “fragments of the bullet that ended the life of President John F. Kennedy”, or that CE 399 “struck both the president and Texas Gov. John Connally”.
Sorry, Paul. Claims with no evidence to support them are not “history”.
On Friday 21 January 2000, the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) released the report of its reexamination of the tip (nose) of a military-style bullet found on the front seat of the presidential limousine shortly after JFK was assassinated. Until now, this fragment has nearly universally been considered as part of the bullet that hit JFK's head and disintegrated. About five years ago, however, a John T. Orr, Chief of the Justice Department's Antitrust Division's office in Atlanta and a conspiracy theorist about the JFK assassination, sent an "extensive analysis" of some parts of the evidence to the Attorney General, essentially proposing that the government had twice gotten it all wrong, and that JFK had been hit by two different types of ammunition from two different rifles. Shot #1 had indeed been a full-metal-jacketed bullet that passed through Kennedy's body. But shot #3, to JFK's head, had used a soft-nosed bullet that had presumably disintegrated. Orr proposed that the two large fragments (the tip and base of one or two FMJ bullets) had come from the first shot (through JFK's body) rather than from the head shot. To test this idea, he proposed, among other things, that minute fibers present on the tip fragment (CE 567) should be tested. If they were consistent with Kennedy's shirt collar, tie, or tie liner, that would prove that the bullet had passed through his body rather than through his head.
The Justice Department bought the idea at least partly, and requested that the FBI test the fibers and some human debris in a limited way to see what it could find. If the results were sufficiently promising, they would consider further tests. (See the DOJ's letter of request to the FBI, which explains Orr's ideas.) The report of 21 January gives those first results.
The coming tests were first announced on 14 August 1998 and were described in the following Associated Press (AP) article by Joseph Schuman:
"FBI to Test JFK Bullet Fragments," by Joseph Schuman, AP 14 August 1998 (http://jfklancer.com/fragtest.html) A very brief intermediate report was issued by NARA, who was overseeing the tests, on 19 February 1999:
"Lab Test on JFK Evidence," U.S. Newswire, 19 February 1999 (http://jfklancer.com/fragtest.html)
Two months later, Joseph Backes described these tests and their background in more detail in an article released by JFK Lancer:
Joseph Backes's "A New Look At CE 567," 20 April 1999 (http://jfklancer.com/fragtest.html) Joseph Backes's "Mystery Conclusions," 19 May 1999 (http://jfklancer.com/fragtest.html) NARA's final report was issued on 21 January 2000. It adds little to the previous reports, and basically states that the fibrous material was cellulose that did not come from the clothing of either Kennedy or Connally, and that the human tissue was too and too damaged old to try to trace to either man. These results did not yield any support for Orr's radical new conspiracy theory and, in fact, were consistent with the conventional view of the bullets, although weakly.
Wrong. It is known as ''The Magic Bullet'' AKA "Bastard Bullet" and it wasn't "found" anywhere near Gov Connally even according to the Warren Report itself ::)QuoteIn addition to the two fragments from the bullet that fatally wounded the president, the digital collection includes another bullet that struck both the president and Texas Gov. John Connally. That one is known as the “stretcher bullet” because it was found lying near Connally at the hospital.
The FBI [Hoover] reported that there was an insignificant difference in the fragment analysis with respect to matching them to "Oswald's" ammo [or whatever they did] Point is--- Any difference at all whatsoever in the metallurgy testing rules out the conclusions absolutely.
Wrong. It is known as ''The Magic Bullet'' AKA "Bastard Bullet" and it wasn't "found" anywhere near Gov Connally even according to the Warren Report itself ::)
It's only known as "The Magic Bullet" by conspiracy types. It was found on Connally's stretcher. The Warren Report did not conclude otherwise.
It was found on Connally's stretcher.
Not even that is certain. Tomlinson could not say for sure which stretcher he found it on.
As I said earlier, the earliest statements made by those who handled the stretcher confirm that it was found on Connally's stretcher.
Why are you being so vague? Please, be more specific. Who exactly confirmed that the bullet was found on Connally's stretcher?
How did the people "who handled the stretcher" even know on which stretcher Tomlinson found the bullet?
That’s what you call a “confirmation” that it was Connally’s stretcher?
Mr. SPECTER - You helped them take Governor Connally and put him on the operating table?
Mr. JIMISON - I did.
Mr. SPECTER - And what then was done with the stretcher that he was on?
Mr. JIMISON - Well, the stretcher at that time was moved back from the table, of course, because they had to make room for the doctors to get up close to the table, which was back just always and when I got free---whether it was Miss Wester or Mrs. Ross there---they pushed it back a little further, but they didn't get quite to the elevator with it; I came along and pushed it onto the elevator myself and loaded it on and pushed the door closed.
.........
Mr. SPECTER - What did you do with the stretcher then, you said?
Mr. JIMISON - Pushed it on the rear elevator, which goes downstairs.
Mr. SPECTER - Is there any other elevator which goes downstairs to the emergency area?
Mr. JIMISON - Not close in the emergency area----that's the only one.
http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/russ/testimony/jimison.htm
Nurse Jane Wester said that she had rolled up a bloody sheet and left it on the stretcher and then placed some medical tools on the stretcher and asked Jimison to take the stretcher to the elevator.
In Darrell Tomlinson's earliest statement, made Dec 4,1963, he said that the bullet was on the stretcher that he had taken off of the elevator. He recalled the balled up bloody sheets, a couple of bandages, a glove, and the medical tools being on the stretcher.
https://i.imgur.com/rk20BhI.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/dh1nUMK.jpg
The Secret Service Agent who received the bullet from O.P. Wright recorded that the stretcher that the bullet had been found on contained medical tools and rubber gloves.
https://i.imgur.com/CIn10To.png
The FBI expert who actually examined the fragments said otherwise. And he did so under oath.Did you just join this forum? Several times I have acknowledged that the magic bullet-- CE 399 [Commission's name for it] was fired from the 6th floor rifle. Sometimes, I think Tim Nickerson is really a computer program.
It was found on Connally's stretcher. The Warren Report did not conclude otherwise.The report did not conclude it was...it assumed it was.
Which only tells us that the stretcher used for Connally was put on an elevator by Jimison.
Well, let's see...
Miss WESTER - I took the stretcher and rolled it to the center area of the operating room suite--rolled the sheets up on the stretcher into a small bundle.
Mr. SPECTER - Was there one sheet or more than one sheet?
Miss WESTER - I believe there were two sheets and I rolled one inside the other up into a small bundle.
<>
Mr. SPECTER - What else, if anything, was on that stretcher?
Miss WESTER - There were several glassine packets, small packets of hypodermic needles---well, packed in and sterilized in. There were several others---some alcohol sponges and a roll of 1-inch tape. Those things, I definitely know, were on the cart, and the sheets, of course.
<>
Mr. SPECTER - Do you recall whether there were any tools on one end of the stretcher?
Miss WESTER - I know I set something down on the cart, I think it was a curved hemostat---I couldn't say for sure---I'm not sure.
<>
Mr. SPECTER - Now, what did you do with the stretcher after Governor Connally was taken off of it?
Miss WESTER - I moved the stretcher back to the center area, fairly close to the clock, it Wasn't right under it, but fairly close, and an orderly, R. J. Jimison, walked up---
Mr. SPECTER - His initials are R. J.?
Miss WESTER - And he stood at the cart while I rolled the sheets up and removed the items from the cart, and from there he took the cart and proceeded to the elevator with it and the last time I saw him he was standing at the elevator with the cart waiting for him to be picked up.
So, it appears that Wester actually removed items from the stretcher before it was placed on the elevator.
Which is in complete contradiction to what Wester said about having removed the items from the stretcher. Go figure!
Btw, just how many stretchers with bloody sheets on them do you think there normally are in such an area of a hospital?
Mr. SPECTER. Now, Mr. Tomlinson, are you sure that it was stretcher "A" that you took out of the elevator and not stretcher "B"?This is the kind of cetainty that the Warren Report is based on ::)
Mr. TOMLINSON. Well, really, I can't be positive, just to be perfectly honest about it, I can't be positive, because I really didn't pay that much attention to it. The stretcher was on the elevator and I pushed it off of there and I believe we made one or two calls up before I straightened out the stretcher up against the wall. ~~~~~~~~~
Mr. SPECTER. What did you tell the Secret Service man about which stretcher you took off of the elevator?
Mr. TOMLINSON. I told him that I was not sure, and I am not--I'm not sure of it, but as I said, I would be going against the oath which I took a while ago, because I am definitely not sure.
Did you just join this forum? Several times I have acknowledged that the magic bullet-- CE 399 [Commission's name for it] was fired from the 6th floor rifle. Sometimes, I think Tim Nickerson is really a computer program.
The "finding" of CE 399 now has been moved around...from near Gov Connally to his stretcher and then NEAR his stretcher and maybe where his stretcher was. The point is that it is conjecture...all of it and that bullet could have been fired the day before and rolled out on the floor that day to be found. And for some unfathomable reason...Warren Report believers bite into this relatively undamaged projectile like a fish bites into a nice juicy worm wrapped around a hook.
This is the kind of cetainty that the Warren Report is based on ::)
Not really. We have the earlier statement by Tomlinson to go by. Try using some common sense as well. You acknowledge that CE 399 was fired at the limo that day from the sixth floor rifle. Meaning that it had to have struck Connally after passing through JFK. What would it be doing on any other stretcher than the one that Connally had been on?I did not "acknowledge that CE 399 was fired that day" get your eyes checked.
We have the earlier statement by Tomlinson to go by.You might have found an FBI report but where did Tomlinson sign that statement officially under oath?
Correct.
That's Wester's recollection made on March 20, 1964.
Quote from: Tim Nickerson on Today at 04:52:54 AM
As I said earlier, the earliest statements made by those who handled the stretcher confirm that it was found on Connally's stretcher.

(https://i.imgur.com/dh1nUMK.jpg)
Only one stretcher with bloody sheets on it was placed on that elevator from the time that Connally went up on the elevator until after 3:30 Pm.
What Paul will never understand or accept is that history books do not contain an objective record of what exactly happened in the past.
Instead, they very often give a skewed version of an event desired by those who controlled the narrative.

Are you confused that the MB was not found on Connally's stretcher?
- Entered President Kennedy’s upper back
- Passed through his upper back and lower neck
- Came out of his throat just below the Adam’s apple
- Entered Governor John Connally’s back close to his right armpit
- Passed through his body, smashing several inches of one rib
- Came out of the right side of his chest
- Passed through his right wrist, breaking the radius bone
- Embedded itself in his left thigh
- And finally, while Connally was laying on a stretcher in Parkland Hospital, the bullet worked its way out of his thigh and fell onto another unrelated stretcher outside the OR, where it was discovered by a hospital employee.
Why doesn't the Magic Bullet bother you, is the question?
It's you who is confused. CE 399 was found on Connally's stretcher.
Close but no cigar. It entered at the base of his neck.
Passed through his neck, not his back.
Thumb1:
Nope. It fell out on the stretcher that he was on. The same stretcher that Tomlinson pulled off of the elevator.
There was no magic bullet. There was a single bullet. There was nothing magical about it.
WRONG! Better Google every single point you failed to make. I can't be held responsible for your plethora of gaffes. ;D
CE 399 was found on Connally's stretcher.Where have I read all this before?....Oh yeah the Warren Report. Lets call CE 399 the Miracle Bullet...because it was like no other ever--performing marvelous and incredible actions.

I beg to differ. You claim that the bullet would have had to have been a magic bullet, "performing marvelous and incredible actions". What exactly do you mean? What marvelous and incredible actions did it perform?Actually I stated 'miraculous' bullet. You begged to differ and that's OK because I lied. CE 399 was probably fired into a folded up mattress a couple of days before the assassination and planted wherever it was found by perhaps Jack Ruby. If the bullet had done what the official story says it did..the story that you believe ...then it would have been miraculous. So Tim...stepped on your own face once more at 80 MPH :-\

The bullet being planted makes little sense to me, as there would have been no certainty for the conspirators that it would be found to serve the purpose for which it was planted.There was a need to further implicate Oswald. The miraculously found bullet was a means to an end.

If the bullet now in evidence as CE399 is not the bullet Tomlinson found, a more likely scenario would IMO be the original Parkland bullet being switched with one fired by the MC rifle into cotton wool as part of a cover up. Such a scenario would actually fit with the first four persons in the chain of custody not being able to identify the bullet, with Wright, in an interview, describing a different, more pointed, bullet and the lack of any trace of human tissue or fibers on the bullet as well as the minimal damage to the bullet.
Perhaps it was just happenstance that Tomlinson found an unrelated bullet.
You do know that "high-powered" is an ill-defined catchphrase for a rifle capable of shooting large game. And that Kleins was selling military rifles like the Carcano as hunting rifles?

You've also called it the magic bullet multiple times. What exactly did the bullet do, according to the "official story", that was magical or miraculous?
It entered JFK's back at the T1 vertebrae and without deflection exited at the C7 vertebrae, then entered Connally’s back close to his right armpit, passed through his body, smashing several inches of one rib, came out of the right side of his chest, passed through his right wrist, breaking the radius bone, embedded itself in his left thigh then magically found its way onto another unrelated stretcher outside the OR, where it was discovered by a hospital employee in near-pristine condition without a trace of bone, blood, skin or flesh on it.
That's why it was..

It entered JFK's neck at the level of the C7 vertebrae and without deflection exited at the level of the C7 vertebrae, then entered Connally’s back close to his right armpit, passed through his body, smashing several inches of one rib, came out of the right side of his chest, passed through his right wrist, breaking the radius bone, and embedded itself in his left thigh. The bullet fell out of Connally's thigh while he was on a stretcher at Parkland. Darrel Tomlinson found the bullet on that stretcher a short time later. The bullet had been flattened longitudinally from striking Connally's rib relatively side on. There is nothing magical at all about that bullet. Those who claim otherwise are either lying or are ignorant, or are just plain stupid.
;D "Those who claim otherwise are either lying or are ignorant, or are just plain stupid."
We all know who the retard is here, smart guy. Did you notice where you put the entrance wound on the back of the neck? A bit high, don't you think? Or do you?
I don't believe it to be too high, nope. Of course, it's not meant to be exact. Close enough though.
Close enough? Funny, that's what Ford said. ;D

You think there were two entry wounds to the neck region, one in the back and one in the front?No.... Of course not. I posted available links that have the doctors at Parkland describing a neck wound as an entry. Where that bullet/projectile went...I have no answer. Apparently-- the doctors didn't look for it. Their priority was to try and revive the president. Again here is a sketch of the presidents wounds as they saw them....
And that the autopsy people and the Commission just decided to "communicate" those two wound sites because a neck transit would go backwards to the Sniper's Nest window?
What is asinine about the theory that I recited? Be specific.You admit it is a theory...and it is the stupidest theory ever devised ...Even Gov John Connally disagreed that he was hit by the same shot [as been posted many times] ::)

Boswell clung to the mark on the face-sheet, amending it for the "Baltimore Sun" in 1966.(https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSp3XY5Zyyeu_1ylEecXSgz1jWnat1AzLzyCM2isleLPopYZ04E&s)(https://www.maryferrell.org/wiki/images/0/0b/Photo_nara_ce385.jpg)(https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRqLUBqBXBjsXmMJ0c6S6FhZuv5aOp7kXZm9sjEQBc9KtHmWsnn&s)
In 1996, Boswell was interviewed by the Assassination Records Review Board (ARRB) about the autopsy of John F. Kennedy. Boswell's testimony conflicted with that of Pierre Finck.The presidents body was illegally shanghaied out of Dallas where a proper and detailed autopsy would have been performed. LBJ didn't want that. That bullet hole did move around considerably. You don't have to be a 'researcher' to see that.
Not even Boswell clung to the mark on the face-sheet, amending it for the "Baltimore Sun" in 1966. You weren't aware of that?
While measurements on the face-sheet were accurate, markings were not necessarily so. For example, using the face-sheet, the vertical line that rises from the armpit roughly represents the location of the tip of the right acromion process; now note the distance between the "back" wound and right mastoid process on the skull -- it is 1 1/2 times greater. Yet both distances are the same according to measurements written on the face-sheet.
Wow. I can't believe you've never seen this picture. Some "researcher". :D

Jerry, The guy is obviously a moron. His driveway doesn't reach all the way out to the road.
Shanghaied? What artistic license. Was that uttered in the "JFK" movie?I don't know but it was a fact...an obvious grab and getaway.
By 1966 more kids were going to college, smoking weed and being paranoid about Vietnam and LBJ's ascension. LSD was legal then. About the worst decade to have a series of LN assassinations.Has nothing to do with the fact that Johnson and Hoover were a couple of criminals.
When Boswell drew the autopsy sheet he didn't anticipate how stupid critics would be in their wacko interpretation of it.

For crying out loud..this was an autopsy on an assassinated president.
You really are clueless about this stuff.
Not entirely. I at least went back and restarted reading from post #1 and saw what was and what might have been.
According to the linked memo authored by SA Warner of the Secret Service ... https://i.imgur.com/rk20BhI.jpg
The stretcher in question "was left unattended for approx one hour" according... to the statement to him by attendant Tomlinson.
That is a long time :-\
Hospital security Wright's statement according to... https://imgur.com/CIn10To stated that "It could not be determined who used that stretcher." Further stating that "The attached bullet was received about 5 minutes before Mrs Kennedy departed for the airport."
It was not far at all from Parkland to Love Field. LBJ was sworn in at 2:38 [Dallas time]
Wright said that the bullet "was attached" ... to what? Any clue?
You keep saying essentially the same spombleprofglidnoctobuns over and over again. I've asked you at least three times to explain and defend your statements on the Single bullet theory. Yes it's a theory. So is the Newtonian theory of gravity. You called the Single bullet magic and miraculous. You called the Single bullet theory asinine. Now, you've up it to the SBT being the stupidest theory ever devised. One more time, what is it about the single bullet that would require it to have been magical? What exactly is it about the Single Bullet theory that makes it asinine, let alone the stupidest theory ever devised? Put up or shut up.
Yes it's a theory. So is the Newtonian theory of gravity.
The only difference is that Newton's theory has been proven correct time and time again.... The SBT has been proven at all!
The SBT has really been established as the Single Bullet fact in the minds of most who have studied it. Of course, there will always be deniers but that goes with everything. The SBT fits. Nothing else does. At least not credibly anyway.
It may fit your theory, but that doesn't make it an established fact. It only makes it your opinion.
Just as it is my opinion, after having studied it, that there are way too many unresolved variables to call it anything other than a convenient theory.
The SBT fits. Nothing else does. At least not credibly anyway.
What else has ever seriously been officially investigated that did not fit?
What are the unresolved variables?
For one, they looked at a "three shots fired, three shots hit" scenario. That didn't fit. The better question would be "What other possible scenarios have been looked at that did fit?" I've seen numerous attempts made but most of them are farcical.

Well, critics have fired Carcano bullets nose-on at full-velocity into cow bones and proclaimed it was under the same conditions as the bullet that struck Connally's wrist.
They concluded that since they got mushroomed bullets then the "pristine" Magic Bullet had no part in the assassination. As far as they're concerned, they have tested the theory and have physical proof through testing that it is "stupid" or "miraculous".
The exact positions of Kennedy and Connally relative to each other at the moment of the shot(s), the exact posture of Kennedy at the moment of the shot(s), the exact location of the car at the moment of the shot(s). There has been 56 years of discussions about this and there is still no mutual agreement.
The "three shots fired" scenario is just about the only thing they ever looked at. The "three shots hit" scenario was the initial assumption until they found they only had two bullets left to account for all the wounds which of course was why the SBT was concocted.
Numerous attempts? Really... pray tell which official investigative body did them?
Jerry,
Are you aware of a test where a Carcano bullet at any velocity was fired into bones and ended up near pristine as CE399?
We don't need to know those variables to exactness to be able to say whether the SBT works or not. We know them to approximation. The SBT works within those measured judgments.
They looked for evidence of more than three shots but couldn't find any. The SBT wasn't concocted. It was a conclusion reached after a thorough consideration of the evidence.
Not official investigative bodies. Kook theorists mostly. Usually more than three shots involved , from multiple directions.
