Creative Speculation

(60 posts)Only one bullet was established as having been fired from the Mannlicher-Carcano and that was CE399, the so-called "magic bullet". From all appearances it looks as if it had been fired into a bucket of water, and the government's top ballistics expert told them exactly that (the Warren Commission did not ask him to testify and instead found a more compliant witness). CE399 is alleged to have made seven wounds, shattered a rib, and smashed into a wrist bone which is one of the densest in the human body. No recreation of the shooting has ever been able to even come close to producing the lack of damage seen on CE399. Without exception, the bullets have been mangled after striking bone or bone facsimile.
The HSCA's forensic panel made no mention that the different panels examining the medical evidence through the years, all arrived at different conclusions as to where the wounds were in the first place. The dissenting member of the HSCA forensic panel was unable to convince his colleagues that the failure of the single bullet hypothesis alone destroyed the lone assassin myth. The HSCA heard testimony from many witnesses at both Parklands and Bethesda that there was a large defect in the right rear of JFK's head, a defect which does not exist in the medical evidence which these panels keep saying is the final word. The HSCA then made the false claim that the Bethesda witnesses did not see this defect (and thus the Parkland doctors were simply mistaken), and then classified all the testimony showing their statement to be factually untrue. These interviews were not released until the 1990s.
You continue to present an interpretation of the fatal shot based on an appeal to higher knowledge ("real physics" , and yet curtly dismissed the findings of a woman with decades of experience in wound ballistics.
Dr Perry did not come to some new understanding of the throat wound through some collegial discussions with Dr Humes - he told others at the hospital that he got no sleep on the Friday night because he was constantly getting phone calls from Washington pressuring him to change his opinion. Later, a Secret Service agent named Moore was assigned to Dallas to strong-arm Perry into changing his opinion ahead of appearing before the Warren Commission (Moore was successful). The Humes story of a gradual understanding of the throat wound is a lie - as the Bethesda doctors had been told before the autopsy began that the Parklands doctors had identified an entrance wound in the throat. The Bethesda autopsy doctors never tracked the wound from back to front - as is standard protocol and in fact a legal requirement - and they were in fact expressly ordered not to do so. Along with the planting of CE399, that fact is primary proof of both a conspiracy and cover-up.
