JFK Assassination Discussion & Debate / Re: JFK's Throat Wound Was an Entrance Wound: Refuting the Shored-Wound Theory
« Last post by John Corbett on Today at 02:24:31 PM »Everything MTG presents is either based on opinions of people with zero expertise in the field they are pontificating on, or are outright lies. When he cites Doug Horne to bolster his bogus claim that the final conclusion of the autopsy team was that the bullet that struck JFK in the back did not exit, he does both. The final conclusion of the autopsy team is what they wrote in their report and they all signed. In reaching that conclusion, they developed some ideas during the fact-finding process, some of which turned out to be right and some which turned out to be wrong. The "no exit" observation is a perfect example. Upon initial examination, they could find no exit for the bullet as a probe of the back wound only went a few inches and they were unaware at the start of the autopsy that a tracheostomy had been performed over the exit wound in the throat. At that point, somebody uttered the words "There's no exit" or something to that effect. In MTG's world of make believe, that settled the issue. They weren't allowed to move off that initial observation no matter what they learned later. A ridiculous approach for a fact-finding endeavor to follow. Later on, after removing the organs of the chest, they discovered there was a trail of tissue damage leading from the back wound to the tracheostomy wound in the throat. I'll post again their final conclusion on the back wound from their signed report:
"The other missile entered the right superior posterior thorax above the scapula and traversed the soft tissues of the supra-scap- ular and the supra-clavicular portions of the base of the right side of the neck. This missile produced contusions of the right apical parietal pleura and of the apical portion of the right upper lobe of the lung. The missile contused the strap muscles of the right side of the neck, damaged the trachea and made its exit through the anterior surface of the neck. As far as can bc ascertained this missile struck no bony structures in its path through the body."
I don't know at what point they started to suspect the bullet had exited at the point where the tracheostomy had been performed, but after identifying all the above damage and seeing where it was leading, it would have seemed rather obvious. Humes made several phone calls during the course of the night into the wee hours of the morning, and it would be only natural that he would have confirmed that hypothesis with Dr. Perry. Knowing that they had an entry wound in the back, a trail of tissue damage leading to what had been a bullet hole in the throat, and that there were no bullets in the body, the conclusion of an entrance wound in the back and an exit wound in the throat would be obvious to any person with an ounce common sense. That doesn't include MTG because once somebody said "no exit", it doesn't matter to him what was later discovered.
His citing of Doug Horne is even more comical. Doug Horne had ZERO medical training or experience. He was a military man. The ARRB placed him in charge of all records relating to the military and since the autopsy was performed by military personnel, those records fell under his jurisdiction. He was never expected to offer his own opinions on the medical evidence. He took it upon himself to do that. He embraced David Lifton's absurd Invasion of the Body Snatchers theory that between Andrews Air Force base and Bethesda Naval Hospital, the body had been taken to some facility for postmortem surgery to disguise the true nature of the wounds. That theory is completely laughable. Any postmortem surgery would have been instantly recognizable to a first-year medical student, much less an experienced pathologist. Yet Horne is the ass clown MTG cites to bolster his silly beliefs regarding JFK's wounds. Then he gets huffy when people laugh at his ridiculous beliefs which he has clung to for well over three decades. He seems to be forever stuck in the period following Oliver Stone's 1991 movie when JFK conspiracy theories were running rampant and online discussion groups were first becoming a popular place for people to express their opinions. Sadly, he doesn't seem to have learned anything of consequence since.
