This kind of extreme rhetoric, reflecting an extreme bias, is one reason that most people just don't buy the lone-gunman theory. Here you have a respected member of Congress, a conservative Republican and a military veteran no less, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, who has concluded that JFK was killed by a conspiracy. Rep. Luna chairs the House Oversight Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets. The committee has been holding hearings on records related to the JFK assassination. After chairing many hours of hearings on the subject, Rep. Luna has concluded that a conspiracy killed President Kennedy.

But all you and other WC apologists can do is dismiss her and her committee's hearings as a "conspiracy circus."

Is it any wonder that 2/3 to 3/4 of the Western world doesn't agree with you and believes that Kennedy was murdered by a conspiracy?

It is worth noting that Rep. Luna served in the U.S. Air Force from 2009 to 2014 as an airfield management specialist and received the Air Force Achievement Medal, and that she holds a Bachelor of Science degree in biology from the University of West Florida.

Do you guys ever, ever stop to ask yourselves why highly educated people from all across the political spectrum disagree with the lone-gunman scenario and believe JFK was killed by a conspiracy?

You would help your cause greatly if you would stop pushing the discrediting, juvenile pretension that only people with "warped minds" and/or with little education reject the WC's lone-gunman fantasy.

The focus of this one-page article is Dr. Michael Baden's demonstration in the 1988 NOVA documentary Who Shot President Kennedy? of how far forward JFK would have had to be leaning to make the HSCA FPP's trajectory through the neck align with the sixth-floor window.

"Dr. Baden Refuted the Single-Bullet Theory"

Dr. Wecht mocked the FPP majority's assumption about JFK's forward lean with the joking remark that they were assuming that JFK was bent over tying his shoe laces when the bullet struck. This humorous exaggeration perfectly captures the demonstrably false nature of the FPP's assumption, which Dr. Baden was nice enough to demonstrate in front of TV cameras.

Of course, Baden had no idea he was driving a huge nail in the SBT's coffin with his demonstration.

Keep in mind that Dr. Humes's wound diagram for the WC (i.e., CE 385) puts the wound at C3 or C4. Humes put the wound noticeably above the throat wound, as we see in CE 385. Humes had to put the back wound above the throat wound because he and the WC claimed the bullet traveled a "downward path" through the neck, a piece of pure fiction that even the HSCA FPP rejected and debunked.

True to form, SBT believers shrug off this enormous conflict between the autopsy doctors and the HSCA FPP experts. No matter what, for them the SBT still works, never mind that Humes put the wound at least 2.5 inches higher in CE 385 than where the FPP located it. One WC apologist here, apparently clueless about basic geometry, has even claimed that it makes no difference whatsoever if Humes was wrong and the FPP was right about the wound's location! By golly, the SBT still works! Amazing!

Finally, surely no objective person can look at the autopsy photo of the back wound and conclude that it shows the wound where Humes placed it in CE 385. The HSCA FPP concluded the photo puts the wound at T1, which is at least 2.5 inches lower than where CE 385 places it. Indeed, the FPP said they placed the wound "in the back area" and "a few inches lower" than where Humes placed it in his drawing:

The panel also places the entrance perforation on the lower, in the back area, a few inches lower than illustrated in this drawing. (1 HSCA 256)

JFK Assassination Discussion & Debate / Handguns and the Tague Shot
« Last post by Benjamin Cole on Yesterday at 11:27:26 AM »
One of the many, many vexing curiosities of the JFKA is the "Tague shot": Where did it come from?

As JFKA buffs know, a lead projectile struck a curb near Tague during the JFKA, with enough force to spray concrete or other matter upwards into his face, causing cuts.

Some have posited a FMJ bullet from LHO's M-C caused the Tague shot. Only lead was found on the curb, by the FBI.

The argument goes this way: A FMJ slug splintered upon striking JFK's head, and lead squirted out of the FMJ projectile, and flew toward Tague's feet, causing the resulting injuries.

One problem is the FMJ that struck JFK did so on the lower right side of his head, and caused a blow-out of the right temple. That is, away from the direction of Tague.

Hard to see how lead squirted out through JFK's head towards Tague. The x-rays show no blowouts or holes on the left side of JFK's skull.

I put very low odds on the FMJ splintering after striking JFK's head explanation of the Tague shot.

One plausible explanation is the Tague shot resulted from a handgun.

AI:

In 1963, commercially reliable jacketed hollow point (JHP) handgun ammunition was virtually non-existent, as law enforcement and civilians relied heavily on standard lead round-nose bullets. [1] (https://www.shootingtimes.com/editorial/hollowpoints-myths-facts/99505), [2]

The State of Handgun Ammo in 1963

Standard Police Load: Most police officers carried six-shot double-action revolvers (like the Smith & Wesson Model 10) chambered in .38 Special. The standard-issue round was a slow, 158-grain lead round-nose (LRN) cartridge traveling at roughly 850 feet per second. [1]

(https://supervelammunition.com/history/), [2] (https://www.quora.com/What-types-of-ammunition-were-commonly-used-by-law-enforcement-and-military-in-1963)

During this era, the universal standard for civilian, police, and self-defense ammunition in the popular .38 Smith & Wesson Special (and the older, shorter .38 S&W) was a solid lead bullet. [1] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.38_S%26W), [2] (https://revolverguy.com/ammo-evolution-38-special-treasury-load/)

Someone armed with a snub-nose .38 at the GK, fired in the direction of Tague, as a diversion? The .38 lead bullet struck the curb, resulting in the light injuries to Tague?

It is a plausible explanation. The diversion worked?

But, LNT or CT, caveat emptor and draw your own conclusions. They will be as good as anyone else's.

   You have now claimed "NOBODY cares" to 2 different people. Try buying a vowel.

And still nobody cares.

    You obviously did Not hear what Trump actually said about the $5,000. Do NOT rely on, "The View", "Morning Joe" and the other Fake News Sources that spew the garbage that you are now repeating.  This $5,000, is Not a "handout". Trump described it as a "Dividend". Trump promised a "dividend" way back when he 1st imposed taxes on Canadian Goods.

I can't remember where I first heard it but it's a bad idea not matter what you call it. If the government hands out $5000 checks and doesn't offset it with cuts in other areas, it's going to be inflationary. If there is a windfall from the tariffs, I'd rather see it used to pay down the debt which would have a cooling effect on inflation and benefit the American people every bit as much as a handout. But since this is an election year, paying down the debt wouldn't make as big a splash as "free money". People don't understand that it's zero sum game. The more dollars the government puts into circulation, the less purchasing power those dollars will have.

To be sure, there are plenty of farfetched JFKA CT's out there, mostly on the backdrop to the sordid event, and the subsequent cover-up. So, CT'ers often look nutty.

Furthermore, many JFKA CTs have become a platform for people to promote their ideological agendas.

OTOH, the second official investigation into the JFKA, the HSCA-1979, concluded there was a probability of JFKAC, and that likely there had been a gunshot at the GK, as the limo passed.

There were a lot of smart and skeptical guys on the HSCA, and plenty of professional staffers.


Unfortunately, the smart guys were in the minority which is why the HSCA issued their FUBAR finding of a conspiracy.

Why "strange"?

I never read anything solid that LHO did much more than look at radar screens and hang around pretty girls in Japan.

Were the girls honey-pots? Maybe.

Strange sentence:

"There may be a link between LHO and CIA'er Bruce Solie, but Solie may have been de facto KGB."

The only one “in on it” was Ozzie and the friends in his head.  He had his influencers, fer sure, but in the end, it was all him, ad hoc after the parade route was published, imho.
