Thanks for your opinion. Where's your counter research to dispute his?

Perhaps instead of giving your opinion on MTG's research you will counter research of your own?

I hate to bust your burble, but MTG doesn't do research. He collects conspiracy nuggets and weaves them into hyperbolic conspiracy narratives like a crazed CT televangelist. The JFKA medical evidence has been subjected to enough discussion and debate by genuine medical, ballistic and forensic experts for six decades, and they and their fans have arrived at such a bewildering mishmash of hopelessly conflicting interpretations, that one can weave almost any narrative one wishes. Some of it is interesting and genuinely puzzling, but in the absence of any consensus and any medical expertise on my part I decline to assemble hyperbolic narratives telling others what is IMPOSSIBLE! UNDENIABLE! UNSOLVABLE! MUST BE BELIEVED! and CAN'T BE REFUTED!!! "Research," as MTG's hero Paul Hoch himself pointed out, consists in working from primary source documents - not assembling dubious secondary sources and then compiling self-serving but fallacious appeals to authority.

Thanks for proving my point.

It would be charitable to call MTG's clusters "research".

I went and back and looked at some of your threads like this on the JFK Education Forum. Do you just copy and paste these conspiracy diatribes from place to place? Either way you're repeating a lot of stuff that has very little basis in reality .. your theories require all of the evidence to be fake, which is simply not believable.

MTG seems to enjoy playing doctor.

Yes, Mailer's summary seems pretty consistent with what Shuskevich himself said. I assume Shushkevich was just projecting from the fact that Oswald seemed so dull, unimaginative and compliant. The other interviews with those who did know Oswald and Marina personally are more telling. It was kind of interesting that no one (i.e., KGB) ever questioned Shushkevich or the others about Oswald and that he took some good-natured ribbing about being arrested after the JFKA. I really think the truth is pretty much what Mailer and everyone else who looks into the tale concludes: Oswald was just a goofball who was puzzling and even somewhat humorous to the Soviets but of no great interest.

FWIW, the rumors around the radio factory during Oswald's employment there, as relayed to me by my sister-in-law, had him being way more in-your-face lazy and uninterested in the work than comes through in some of the sources. He also mocked much of the factory routine, which would scarcely make sense for a false defector. It might make sense for an increasingly disaffected goofball, but one would logically expect a false defector to at least try to fit in. I thought the one interview hit the nail on the head with Oswald enjoying his "American defector" celebrity status for about six months but becoming increasingly unhappy as that wore off and he was now just another factory grunt in one of the duller outposts of the USSR.

I've mentioned before the extreme security at the factory. My sister-in-law worked in the "military" part as a technical illustrator, never having any idea what she was illustrating. All workers were checked every day as they exited the factory, down to the level of examining the contents of purses. Oswald worked in the "experimental shop," where they basically made prototypes (of anything, mostly household items). Ernst Titovets describes an incident of Oswald bringing home a tube-like device that Titovets later learned was part of a military radar unit. Oswald discussed with Titovets how one might make a bomb from the tube and then never mentioned it again. This incident would have been IMPOSSIBLE unless Oswald had been allowed to steal the tube just to see what he would do with it. I have to assume the "bomb" discussion was in a joking vein because Oswald knew damn well his apartment was bugged by the KGB. The whole thing is bizarre - but again, not the behavior of any sane CIA-operative false defector. If the Soviets hadn't been puzzled and somewhat amused by this goof, stealing part of a radar device could have got Oswald sent to Siberia for several unpleasant years.

Tommy, you missed his 24-word essay, "JFKA Evidence I Don't Think Was Fake." For those who don't have the patience to wade through all 24 words, he concedes that the TSBD was a real building, not a prop constructed specifically for the JFKA, and that Ruth Paine was "some of sort of Quaker." Otherwise, it's all fake. As I said, these repetitive threads seem to be a loop that plays continually in his head, completely recycling every 2-3 years.

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.
