   Am I supposed to be able to click onto the above? If so, no soap. Thompson is usually pretty good so his confusing Decker and Mooney might be indicative of the age issue. I watched him on a News interview maybe 18 months ago and he was having trouble maintaining a single thought for better than 2 minutes atta shot. I also watched his Sixth Floor presentation for his 2nd book a while back and that was scattershot. Even Groden presents himself and his case better than Thompson at this juncture in their journey.

While viewing the Secret Service reenactment film, Brian Roselle spotted a mark in the pavement that would have been very close to JFK at "Z-124," i.e., half-a-second before Zapruder resumed filming (after a 17-second pause) at Z-133.
So why can no one else see it in the same film?

The Dems on TV yesterday looked miserable at the announcement of the potential end of the Iran war.  They so badly wanted the US to become mired in another Vietnam hoping that it harmed Trump regardless of the consequences to the US and world.  The stock market is soaring.  The gas prices will drop like a rock.  Inflation is already much lower than under Biden but still too high but that will be coming down.  Dems hate it.  Only one thing concerns them.  Staying in power.

Their misery is understandable. If the war with Iran extended into the fall, they probably would have won big in the midterms. Certainly winning the House, and possibly the Senate. Winning he Senate would be problematic for he GOP since it would not only be able to block Trump's appointments to his cabinet as well as the judiciary, they could and likely would end the filibuster. If the Dems only get to 51 in the Senate, Fetterman might side with the GOP on some of the Dems more radical proposals, but if they get to 52, Fetterman won't matter. Statehood for DC and Puerto Rico would be a done deal giving the Dems an automatic 4 extra Senate seats which would give the Dems a permanent majority. When they get control of the House, Senate, and White House at the same time, you can count on them packing SCOTUS.

On the other hand, if this peace deal is reached, the Strait is opened up, and gas prices come down, the GOP will likely hold onto the Senate and might even keep the House. I'm still skeptical about a deal being reached soon. We've seen this movie before where it appeared a deal was close only to have the Iranians back out of the deal. I'll believe it's for real when the treaty is signed and ships start passing freely through the Strait. If they back out again, I hope Trump unloads on them with no mercy. Either they make peace or get destroyed. Negotiating with bombs seems to be the only thing the Iranians understand. As Al Capone supposedly once said, "You can get more with a kind word and a gun, than you can with just a kind word.".

And to further state the obvious (my specialty!), it seems to me the WC and HSCA experts were focusing on "Can CE 543 be attributed to Oswald's M-C?" (yes) and not "Can it be attributed to Oswald's M-C but more plausibly explained as a dry-firing shell?" (possibly).

Just to state the obvious: The dent and the firing pin impression are two different issues. The dent is WHY CE 543 would have been used as a dry-firing round. It couldn't be reloaded and had no value.


FWIW:

Another snip from “Phantom Shot” by Mike Majerus and Jack Nessan:

It is very possible that the dent in CE 543 occurred as a result of Oswald using the shell casing multiple times for dry firing. During one of those times, it could have snagged while being rechambered or ejected. When the FBI examined CE 543, it found marks that indicated it had been loaded into and extracted from a weapon at least three times. (26WH:449; CE 2968). Warren Commission firearms expert Joseph Nicol did tests on CE 543 confirming this. He said the marks could definitely have been made by dry firing the shell casing. (3WH:509-510).

   The gas prices are like the egg prices were. The Press harps on it, and then Trump makes it go away, and they then move onto something else. The gas price issue is ridiculous as there are still a lot of us that remember back in the 70's, when you could Not even find a gas station with gas at Any price. The Press is rigged just like the Calif Elections. And again, WHO green lighted the AP "calling" elections or candidates that qualify for runoffs? The AP has been just another propaganda arm for the Dem party for a while now. Like NPR was before Trump cut their huevos off.

Try to focus.   You seem to be under the influence of some type of TDS propaganda.  The shooter had a direct line of sight.  There was nothing between him and Trump.  So what hit Trump if not the bullet?  Why don't you believe a bullet can graze someone's ear instead of going through it?  Good grief.

I don't know what hit him.

A bullet from an Ar-15 travels at 3200 ft per sec
A bullet that close, of that high velocity, slices cleanly through cartilage and skin
The shockwave  produces intense sound levels (up to 190 dB) - that fracture an eardrum

These are facts
 :D try to focus

Scraped or struck by a bullet at 3,200 feet per second?
 :D Perhaps you're the deranged one.

I asked AI:

A bullet traveling at ~ 3200 ft/s (supersonic) that grazes your ear acts like a high-speed scalpel. The physical impact, massive transfer of kinetic energy, and the severe acoustic shockwave create three distinct types of trauma:

Cartilage and Tissue Damage: The high velocity slices cleanly through cartilage and skin rather than taking the whole ear off, leaving a trough or an incised hole similar to a hole punch. Because the ear has a dense network of blood vessels, the wound will bleed profusely.

Acoustic Trauma: The bullet breaks the sound barrier, generating a miniature sonic boom (a ballistic N-wave). This shockwave, combined with the muzzle blast, produces intense sound levels (up to 190 dB). A miss this close to the head is virtually guaranteed to rupture the eardrum and cause permanent, acute sensorineural hearing loss.

Temporary Cavitation: Though the ear has low density, the rapid transfer of kinetic energy displaces surrounding fluids and tissue, forcing surrounding tissue to stretch and snap back, which can cause lingering bruising and localized necrosis.

Try to focus.   You seem to be under the influence of some type of TDS propaganda.  The shooter had a direct line of sight.  There was nothing between him and Trump.  So what hit Trump if not the bullet?  Why don't you believe a bullet can graze someone's ear instead of going through it?  Good grief.

What Lutz's demonstration showed is that a spent shell could be dented when rapidly ejected from the rifle. It's a little unreasonable to expect Lutz to replicate the exact amount of force Oswald did and produce the same dent.
