Wow, so you wouldn't recommend a single pro-conspiracy book to a newcomer...
...and you'd recommend the Warren Commission's report to a newcomer but not the House Select Committee on Assassinations report.
On a side note, did you not notice that the thread is about which six books you'd recommend to a newcomer, not which 10 books.
FYI, the 10 books that you list contradict each other on some key issues, such as the location of the rear head entry wound, the trajectory of the back-wound bullet, the location of the back wound, the position of JFK and Connally in the limo during the alleged hit of the single-bullet theory, and the 6.5 mm object on the autopsy skull x-rays.
Can YOU explain the splitting of the Atom and Nuclear Fission? Or do you believe that Hiroshima and Nagasaki were simply a hoax? Try to be consistent.
Landis, Ready and Hickey all report that their reaction to the first shot was to look to the right and rear:
Landis - "I heard what sounded like the report of a high-powered rifle from behind me, over my right shoulder...", "My first glance was at the President, as I was practically
looking in his direction anyway...", "I immediately returned my gaze, over my right shoulder."
Ready - "I heard what appeared to be fire crackers going off from my position. I immediately turned to my right rear trying to locate the source but was not able to
determine the exact location."
Hickey - "I heard what seemed to me that a firecracker exploded to the right and rear. I stood partially up and turned to the rear to see if I could observe anything. "
They reacted to the first shot by looking in the direction the shot came from - the right and rear of their position. This is exactly what we see in Altgens 6:
In the Z-film we see these agents until z207.
At no point do we see any of these agents turning to their right and rear.
At no point do we see any of these agents reacting as they said they did. That is a fact. Any suggestions otherwise are simply not true. Ready may have changed his hand position but at no point does he make any attempt to look to his right and rear. There is not the slightest suggestion he does so. Just as there is no suggestion Landis or Hickey make such a turn.
The earliest record of these agents reacting as they said they did, is Altgens 6 (z255)
To imagine they waited for 7 seconds before turning to their right and rear is genuinely laughable.
Even to imagine they waited a full second is highly unlikely.
I'd be willing consider the Knott Lab conclusion the SBT is impossible if they would tell us why it is impossible but the CTs who cite their work always leave that part out.
The back shot at an upward angle went on to make the dent by the mirror. Perfect straight line from dent through K's body toward the ground. Where else could it have come from? Dallas later removed the drain as well as removing the location of the head shooter. Someone in Dallas knew where the shooters were to be, making removal of evidence necessary.
