Often I wondered why JFK’s head went backwards as if shot from the front. When I saw a re-enactment video with a dummy’s head it also moved backwards when shot from the rear. So I’m convinced Oswald only did the shooting.

I saw something similar. It was on the documentary series NOVA, and they shot a skull from behind at the same supposed angle as Oswald to Kennedy, damned if the skull didn’t fly backwards.

Interesting. That is the one item that has always lead me to accept that another gunman was involved. I don't understand how it works that a head would move backwards when shot from the back .. unless the car accelerated at exactly that point in time. I will check it out. Thanks.

If this is the black and white footage of a test done by a pro “lone nut” theory “independent investigator” around the time of the Church Committee hearings in the early 70s, that “dummy’s head” in the test you cite was actually a human skull. It is trivial to conclude that a skull is not a head containing muscle and brain matter massively attached to a neck and sholders. It is also trivial to put the chin of the skull against a slightly raised nail head and get forward momentum converted to rearward motion as the bullet hits.

If you are referring to the Penn & Teller test on a mellon, gimme a break. Again, a melon is not flesh, brain and bone attached to a pair of shoulders.

Then you have to explain the flap of skull, skin and hair that flies rearward, the same flap that Jackie crawls onto the trunk lid of the limo to retrieve. In the Zapruder film you see JFK’s head jerk violently backwards with enough momentum to pull his upper torso backwards as well. None of the so called “tests” showing paradoxical movement generate anything close to the foot pounds of force necessary to move that amount of mass backwards.

In order to avoid allowing the tsunami of evidence pointing to a mob/CIA/Permindex assassination from entering your critical awareness, you need to be an ideological robot.
