JFK Assassination Discussion & Debate / Re: The First Shot
« Last post by John Corbett on Today at 05:23:59 PM »'Proof' is photographic evidence demonstrating beyond the slightest doubt that you are full of sh!t.
And it's faintly amusing that you would accuse someone else of repeating the same nonsense over and over again. All you do is spew the Warren Commission's findings, which you've clearly learned in full, over and over again.
The moment you step outside this narrow field of knowledge you make an instant buffoon of yourself.
But let's not get distracted by your incompetence.
You were asked a couple of questions about JBC which are a chance for you to show off your expert knowledge of how JBC's recollection of the shooting is corroborated by the Z-film.
Just for general amusement let's see what pearls of wisdom you have to offer:
JBC is also unequivocal that the gap between him hearing the first shot and being hit is "a split second", literally less than a second. He knows his rifles and he is convinced at first that there are multiple people firing or that someone is using an automatic rifle. He is saying that the gap was so small it could not have been done by a single person using a bolt action rifle, it had to be multiple people or a automatic. How do you explain that?
JBC studies the Z-film and chooses z234 (or z232) as the frame he is shot. How do you explain that?
Whenever I see someone quote a few words out of context, it's a pretty safe bet that person is lying about what was actually said. Your "a split second" is a perfect example. Here is what JBC said to the WC:
Mr. SPECTER. What is your best estimate as to the timespan between the first shot which you heard and the shot which you heretofore characterized as the third shot?
Governor CONNALLY. It was a very brief span of time; oh, I would have to say a matter of seconds. I don't know, 10, 12 seconds. It was extremely rapid, so much so that again I thought that whoever was firing must be firing with an automatic rifle because of the rapidity of the shots; a very short period of time.
If the entire time frame was 10, 12 seconds, that would mean that if there was only "a split second" between the first and second shots, then there would have been 10-12 seconds between the second and third shots. Is that the hill you want to die on?
It should also be noted that people often refer to semi-automatic weapons as automatic. Most fully automatic weapons fire 10 rounds per second or faster. If it had been a full auto weapon, JBC would not have heard individual shots and it certainly wouldn't take 10-12 seconds to fire 3 rounds. For those who aren't familiar with firearms, a semi-auto weapon is one that uses the gasses from one shot to eject the spent shell and chamber the next round from a magazine. As such, they can fire more rapidly than a bolt or lever action rifle, but they still only fire one round with each pull of the trigger.

« Last post by Royell Storing on Today at 05:22:46 PM »Baker didn't run through them, he ran behind them.
The timestamp for these images of Officer Baker running across the Island and into the street is :20 seconds after the Kill Shot. Yet, as we can see, Officer Baker is Not having to plow through a throng of people that stretched from the corner of the TSBD to the traffic light on the Island. Why is that? That is because these images of Officer Baker are Not :20 seconds after the Kill Shot. These images are closer to :50 seconds to 1 Minute after the Kill Shot, and the throng of people stretching from the corner of the building to the traffic light on the island has dispersed. This is why the driver of Camera Car #2 is standing flat footed outside of his car on the opening frames of the Darnell Film. His camera car was sitting stock still for close to a minute before he decided to get out of the car and look around as to what the holdup was. This :50 second to 1 Minute timeline of Officer Baker running across the Island and into the street, also resets when Wiegman filmed the JFK Limo going under the Triple Underpass. This then extends the amount of time the JFK Limo was on Elm St before being filmed by Wiegman going under the Triple Underpass.

Hughes film.
Thanks for posting that Hughes Film clip. The Elm St Extension can be seen on the far (L). The light colored Corvair Car parked alongside the TSBD on the Elm St Extension can be seen. Across from that Corvair is the NO PARKING Zone alongside the Island, back from the traffic signal. We can clearly see the tail end of that Corvair Car. Nothing alongside the Island is blocking our view of that Corvair Car. There is NO Car that was 17.5 Feet Long and close to 5 feet tall parked in this NO PARKING Zone alongside the Island. Not Yet!

JFK Assassination Discussion & Debate / Lincoln/Kennedy coincidences
« Last post by John Corbett on Today at 05:01:55 PM »There are a number of remarkable coincidences between the assassinations of Lincoln and Kennedy which have been known and talked about since shortly after the JFKA. I just discovered an online article that listed a few:
"1. Lincoln and Kennedy: A Century of Uncanny Echoes
Both presidents were elected to Congress in the year ending in 46, Lincoln in 1846 and Kennedy in 1946, and both rose to the presidency in a year ending in 60, precisely one hundred years apart. Their successors compounded the strangeness further. Both of the presidents' successors were Southern Democrats named Johnson, Andrew and Lyndon, with six-letter first names and born in years ending in 08.
Both presidents were shot on a Friday, in the back of the head, while seated beside their wives who remained uninjured. The assassins, John Wilkes Booth and Lee Harvey Oswald, were known by their three names, each containing fifteen letters, and both were killed before standing trial. Historians and skeptics have noted that some items on the famous list are embellished or simply false, but the verified overlaps, such as the presidents being elected 100 years apart and succeeded by men with matching surnames, are remarkable enough to keep historians talking."
Some of these I knew and some I did not. I knew JFK had been elected to Congress in 1946 but didn't know the year Lincoln was elected. I also didn't know both Johnson's were born in a year ending in 08.
Another one not mentioned is that both presidents were in the company of another couple, the husband of which was seriously wounded in the attack. I could go on but it might be fun for others to contribute to the list.

JFK Assassination Discussion & Debate / Re: Brian Doyle: Audio Interview With Witness Sarah Stanton's Granddaughter
« Last post by John Corbett on Today at 04:39:43 PM »Corbett is pretending the media isn't corrupted and doing the government's bidding on the Kennedy Assassination...
Jim DiEugenio is the ultimate hypocrite because he criticizes the government to no end on their ignoring of the evidence but then turns around and practices the same thing on Wanda Daniel...And he uses the research community and their dirty censorship to do so...
Do you really think no one in the media would be interested if you had really proof of a conspiracy to kill JFK. There are plenty of well know people who are CTs. Jesse Watters for one. He has his own prime time show on Fox and he has often talked of his belief that that CIA killed JFK. Joey Jones, one of Fox's roving commentators has expressed similar sentiments. Geraldo Rivera is a longtime critic of the WCR. Surely, he would be interested. Just don't call him Shirley.

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 04:30:16 PM »I documented in a previous reply that Boswell told journalist Richard Levine in an extensive interview in November 1966 that at the time of the autopsy the pathologists had already been told "what had been done by the physicians in Dallas," in addition to the "probable extent of the injuries" ("Pathologist Who Made Examination Defends Commission's Version," Baltimore Sun, November 25, 1966, p. 3; see also Harold Weisberg, Post Mortem, Skyhorse Publishing, 2007, reprint of 1975 edition, p. 37; and Weisberg, Never Again, Skyhorse Publishing, 2007, reprint of 1995 edition, p. 217).
I should add that Boswell also revealed the additional crucial information that Humes's phone conversations with the Dallas doctors the next day, 11/23/1963, "confirmed what was already a certainty to the pathologists -- that there was a bullet wound in the President's neck at the point of the tracheotomy incision" (Ibid., p. 4; see also Weisberg, Post Mortem, p. 37).
The official lie that emerged soon after the autopsy was that the autopsy doctors had no idea there was a throat wound until the day after the autopsy. Historian William Manchester was the first to expose this falsehood in his 1967 book The Death of a President, but his discovery was ignored by the major news outlets. Even most WC critics failed to take advantage of Manchester's discovery because they viewed Manchester as a tool of the Establishment, as a sort of "court historian," and thus didn't bother to read his book.
Dr. John Ebersole, the autopsy radiologist, was the next person to expose the official tale when he was interviewed by the HSCA in March 1978, as I also documented in a previous reply. Among other key disclosures, Ebersole informed the HSCA that Humes spoke with the Dallas doctors by no later 10:30 during the autopsy. This was at least half an hour before the end of the exam phase of the autopsy, and at least two hours before the end of the consultation phase of the autopsy.
Ebersole also revealed that "further probing" determined that "the distance traveled by this missile [the back-wound bullet] was a short distance inasmuch as the end of the opening could be felt with the finger." This is one of several disclosures that confirm what we learned with the release of the transcript of the WC's 1/27/1964 executive session, namely, that the first two drafts of the autopsy report said nothing about the throat wound being an exit point for the back wound and that, not surprisingly, the back wound had no exit point. Mind you, this was late January 1964, and the transcript shows that Rankin was referring to documents from the autopsy.
As I also documented in a previous reply, military aide Richard Lipsey witnessed the consultation phase of the autopsy and reported to the HSCA that the pathologists were certain the back wound had no exit point. Crucially, Lipsey added that the doctors concluded that the rear-headshot bullet had exited the throat. This is a revealing datum because we know from the 1/27/1964 WC executive session transcript that one of the first drafts of the autopsy report said a fragment from the headshot exited the throat, that the throat wound was the exit point for a headshot fragment. This is also further proof that the pathologists knew about the throat wound during the autopsy.
What the hell difference does it make when the autopsy team figured out there had been an exit wound in the throat. They eventually got there. I suspect it was a gradual process. At first they were confused because they had an entrance wound with no apparent exit and no bullet in the body. That fostered the preposterous hypothesis that the bullet had only gone a few inches into the back and then somehow worked its way out. It is completely absurd to think that a bullet would only penetrate a short distance into soft tissue, but they apparently were groping for an answer early on in the process. As they continued to examine the body, they discovered further tissue damage, the contusion of the pleura, the perforation of the strap muscles, and the damage to the rings of the trachea, there must have been a moment when the thought hit them that, "Holy crap, this leads us right to the tracheostomy incision". That discovery would naturally lead them to at least consider the possibility that the exit wound had been used to perform the tracheostomy. Naturally, they would want to confirm that with the ER team at Parkland. There were several phone calls from Bethesda to Dr. Perry that night and the next morning. Who knows during which conversation Perry confirmed to Humes that the tracheostomy had been performed over the exit wound. Again, what the hell difference does it make when that confirmation was given. The Bethesda team arrived at the correct answer.
It defies credulity that both the back wound and throat wound were entrance wounds in which a bullet penetrated only a short distance into soft tissue so that it could work its way out or be dug out of JFK's body. Only really silly people would believe such a thing was remotely possible.
