JFK Assassination Plus General Discussion And Debate / I just read an interesting story
« Last post by John Corbett on Today at 02:52:45 AM »
I was reading this story online and I found one paragraph particularly interesting:

"The problem wasn't simply that people disliked the verdict. The problem was that witness accounts didn't always match. Some statements changed over time. Certain details conflicted with physical evidence. Different people seemed to remember the night differently. The more reporters examined the story, the less straightforward it appeared."

Sound familiar. We've all seen the same issues raised over and over again in this forum. Only this story wasn't about the JFKA. It was about the suicide of actor George Reeves, TV's Superman in 1959. Despite this being an open and shut case of suicide, some people didn't want to accept the obvious answer. They continued to search for an alternate explanation and conspiracy theories grew out of it. The public lost interest in this story a long time ago but for many years, people interested in the case refused to believe it was a simple a case as the investigators determined. The convinced themselves there had to be more to it, just as JFKA CTs have done for decades.

JFK Assassination Plus General Discussion And Debate / Re: The Wound In Gov. Connally's Back

Here is a photo of the hole in the rear of Gov. JBC's assassination-day suit. The hole was also enlarged to test fibers for metallic traces.



To be sure, if JBC's back was not at a 90-degree angle to the entering bullet, then you get a tendency to some elliptical or ovoid shaping of the bullet hole, even if the bullet is not tumbling. Different cloths react differently to bullets.

This angle-of-entry is also why JBC had a north-south ovoid wound in his back. The bullet struck JBC on a downward path. Moreover, if JBC was leaning back at the time he was struck, the angle of entry would be even steeper, enlarging the original would.

Still, most convincing is the small round entry round hole in JBC's assassination day shirt. How a tumbling bullet squirted through that small round hole in JBC's shirt is...well, a reasonable question. 

My take is Gov. JBC was struck by a straight, unimpeded shot from the TSBD6 sniper window, or close thereto, and that is also the sentiment of his surgeon, Dr. Robert Shaw. 

But hey, each to his own.

Caveat emptor, and draw your own conclusions.

My take is Gov. JBC was struck by a straight, unimpeded shot from the TSBD6 sniper window, or close thereto, and that is also the sentiment of his surgeon, Dr. Robert Shaw. 

Mr. SPECTER - As to the wound on the back of Governor Connally, was there any indication that the bullet was tumbling prior to the time it struck him?
Dr. SHAW - I would only have to say that I'm not a ballistics expert, but the wound on his chest was not a single puncture wound, it was long enough so that there might have been some tumbling.

A separate shot with a nose on impact would be result in a different set of wound descriptions. The bullet was tumbling to produce the wounds described by DR Shaw. SBT is the only answer.

Oh, I agree. The issue is that Lance Payette not only pretends to be an expert but goes to the extreme of questioning the mental capacity and integrity of anyone who disagrees with him, including genuine experts who've been published in peer-reviewed scientific journals and who've been studying the JFK case for years.

Recently he accused Dr. David Mantik of being a "character" who sees things that no one else sees, when in fact many scholars have endorsed Dr. Mantik's research and when Dr. Mantik is one of the most highly qualified experts to ever examine the JFK case. Payette also recently made unsavory attacks against Greg Doudna, one of the most honest, respected, and careful JFKA researchers of all time, accusing him of having "loose screws," of being part of the "lunatic fringe," and of not caring if his argument "makes sense."

Such unseemly verbiage is considered inexcusable and juvenile even coming from a genuine expert; it is even more discrediting and inexcusable coming from an amateur who hasn't published a single book or article on the case and who doesn't even maintain a website on the subject.

You just accused someone else of being an amateur??? My irony meter is starting to smoke. I think you fried the motherboard with that statement.

Just what do you think you have accomplished over the past 35 years of pontificating on the JFKA. Your BS hasn't improved one iota. It has just become more voluminous. 50 years from now, nobody will even know or care about your efforts. For that matter, few people even care now.

Actually, I have a copy of The Art of War attributed to him although there is some debate as to whether Sun Tzu was a real person or whether The Art of War was written by one man or was a collection of military principles established over time in ancient China.

I suppose you think that is important.

It's a real shame that every year the federal government spends billions of dollars on cancer research but not a dime for TDS. I don't think there is much hope of finding a cure for your ailment.

JFK Assassination Plus General Discussion And Debate / Re: Education Forum Goes Off the Rails

LP--

Even with 9/11 banned, the crackpots would worm in there with the "Mossad perped the JFKA and RFKA" theorizing, or comparing what JFK would have done with LBJ, and all the presidents since, all of whom answered to Tel Aviv and not US voters, and all of whom were compromised by Jews. 

James DiEugenio evens subscribes to lunatic narratives fabricated by Joan Mellen, that Israel intentionally tried to false-flag sink the USS Liberty so that LBJ could say Egypt did it, and LBJ had four jets armed with a-bombs en route to Cairo...but the USS Liberty did not sink, so the a-bomb attack was called off. This gets nuttier when Mellen asserts the captain of the USS Liberty was in on the gag. The National Enquirer would balk at this crap.

The EF CT'ers are so demented it almost makes me an LNT'er on the spot. This is my milieu? P.U.

The shot actually passed through both men at z222/223.
I wonder what someone like Benjamin Cole has to say about all this?

To me, jiggle analysis of the Z-film is the best way to determine when the single bullet struck. All of the calculations below are based on approximations because that is sufficient for this exercise.

We can start with the headshot because that is the most obvious to pinpoint. The distance from the sniper's nest to JFK's head was 88 yards(264 feet). At an average velocity of 2000 fps, it would have taken 0.132 seconds for the bullet to reach JFK's head. Each frame of the Z-film covers 0.0564 seconds. That works out to approximately 2.34 frames of the Zapruder film meaning the bullet would have been fired in the Z310-311 window. There was an obvious camera jiggle and Z318, meaning there was a lag time of 7-8 frames from the time the bullet was fired to the time Zapruder reacted to the muzzle blast.

Since the distance from the rifle to Zapruder's ears was a constant for all three shots, we should expect a similar lag time for all 3 shots. There is an obvious jiggle at Z227. Applying the same 7-8 frame lag time between the shot and the reaction, that would indicate Oswald fired the single bullet in the Z219-220 time frame. The distance from the rifle to JFK at that time was roughly 190 feet. Using the same estimated average velocity of 2000 fps, it would have taken .095 seconds for the bullet to reach JFK's back. That is 1.68 frames so a bullet fired at Z219-220 would likely have struck in he Z221-222 time frame. That would have been 2-3 frames before JBC's jacket bulged out and 4-5 frames before both JFK and JBC flipped their arms upwards. This all seems very reassonable to me.

The Ed Forum is once again offline, although it certainly appears from the discussions that they anticipate being able to salvage it ("salvage" being the operative term when what you are saving is a wreck  :D). James Gordon is my new hero for all the trouble he has managed to cause. If they would simply say "Absolutely no more references to non-JFKA topics, specifically 9/11," they would improve things by 97% - and Niederwacky would banned the first day, which would improve things an additional 2.9%.

Gee, where are MTG and all the MTG lemmings? This is why taking on MTG and the lemmings ain't worth the effort. They don't miss a beat. They just move on to the next factoid. He'll be citing "FBI agent" O'Toole tomorrow and the next day.

David Von Pein's website does the best examination of the single bullet theory I have seen.


This particular one shows the simultaneous upward arm movements of JFK and JBC from Z225 to Z226. This isn't the moment they were shot. It was the moment they reacted. The bullet would have struck a few frames earlier. Pinpointing it is difficult because of the relatively low number of frames per second in the Z-film and that JBC was out of view until Z222. The jiggle analysis indicates the shot was likely fired in the Z219-220 time frame which would mean the bullet struck in the Z221-222 time frame. That was followed by the bulging of JBC's jacket at Z224 which also was not simultaneous with the bullet strike.

The shot actually passed through both men at z222/223.
I wonder what someone like Benjamin Cole has to say about all this?

JFK Assassination Plus General Discussion And Debate / Re: When Was JBC Hit?
« Last post by Zeon Mason on Today at 12:20:36 AM »
I’m still with the Z224 being a bullet that hit JC. But I’m not at all sure about the wrist wound occurring at that point because of the odd position JC would have to be in holding his hat upside down with his right hand over the top of his left leg such that the bullet could go thru the top of  his right hand at the wrist, exit the base of the palm and into his left inner thigh without having gone thru the hat.

CE399 had no damage deformation to the nose of the bullet and it was only slightly deformed. It had a very dubious chain of custody and much confusion about where it was found and what the bullet looked like (pointed vs ball nosed)

The conventional LN explanation for no  damage to the nose of the bullet is  because it was spinning end over end as it entered  the top of JCs  right hand and it struck  the wrist bone backwards. Thus only lead and no copper traces left in the wrist.

Whether the bullet went thru nose first or end first, there should have been some small trace of copper metal left in the hand along with the small traces  of lead.

Since only apparently trace amounts of lead ( flakes) were left in the wrist then an alternative explanation. must be that the wrist was struck by a lead fragment rather than a whole intact FMJ bullet.

The 2 alternative (LN) possibilities:

A. Andrew Masons Z270 shot where the bullet that skews thru JCs chest and rib cage at the more severe angle fragmented the bullet and some  lead was sheared off and went thru JCs right hand as it was up against his chest holding the hat.

B. The SBT modified such that a Z313  fragment  went thru JCs right hand while he leaned back into Mrs.C.

If neither of the above nor the conventional  SBT are satisfactory then IDK   ???
