Whether or not there was a conspiracy, the fact remains that the fatal shot came from the rear. Anyone who really wants to know the truth needs to begin by discarding the myth that the fatal head shot came from the front.

Back, and to the left.

Don't forget the Nix film that shows the reverse view and shows a better view of the spray of bloody material going forward.

"Graphic" is right.
So, the other shot, which came from the front, was non-fatal?

So why do the official autopsy photos only show a small wound in the back of the head and not massive trauma as you show here and the neurosurgeon at Parkland (who should know as they see trauma all the time) stated that there was a small entrance wound in the front and the large exit wound in the back?

Ping because of your interest in the subject on other threads this week.

Poor Jackie. No wonder she retreated to a Greek island with her children after Bobby Kennedy was shot. It's a wonder she didn't go mad.

[martian_22]

There was no conspiracy nor was there any cover-up.

Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone nut gunman.

He used a single magic bullet.

Who could argue with any of that?

[Lucy Lake]

Pinging you to the Zapruder film.

Oswald was the shooter in my view.

The intrigue surrounding he and Ruby will never be resolved.

Kennedy had some serious foes and they were angry no doubt but that doesn't prove anything. It does though take a bit of acceptance to believe that Oswald and Ruby both acted completely on their own although it is possible.

Kennedy himself is a mixed bag. Very flawed character but did show mettle at times. Funny that he is the liberals darling when in reality he was much more conservative by our standards and has little in common with his bloated Falstaff brother. Had Kennedy survived it is not a foregone conclusion he would have been reelected and may have gone down as young but more than a bit inept. All his personal shenanigans are pretty hard to fathom....very serious poor judgement.

His prevailing over Addisons and all those complications is remarkable though, treatment for endocrinological disorders back then was pretty primitive.

Krushchev thought him a chump and was mostly right.

This is an easy case made worse by whackos who can't handle ordinary truth. They have to make their own lives more exciting so they can vicariously get a thrill from it.

Oswald shot three times from the School book depository, killed Kennedy and wounded Connelly

[paulklenk]

As my mother would say, "Ish!"

[Vigilantcitizen]

In the wax replica above, is that rod coming through the head supposed to represent the path of the projectile?

Anyone who really wants to know the truth needs to begin by discarding the myth that the fatal head shot came from the front.

Just watched one of the pieces the local CH 4 produced on this event; all the local cops discount a conspiracy, discount the grassy knoll theories and point to Oswald on the sixth floor of the TSBD building as the shooter ...

[FLCowboy,]

I want to know who gives a sh**. After 40 years, the man is still dead. Was he murdered? Anybody who comes out with a book and says he can prove Johnson killed JFK is either lying, or stupid. If such evidence existed, wouldn't it have been more lucrative 39 years ago?

Quit posting this sh**. Who cares.

[Az Joe]

These conspiracy nuts should not be allowed to vote, marry adopt children, or sign contracts of law. maybe not drive either.

Serenlty now!

[Az Joe]

What really amazes me is that Dealy Plaza was apparently open to the public very soon after the shootings. You can see people crawling all over the place soon after and in the days folowing.

Nowadays they would have closed that whole place down for several blocks and gone over it inch by inch.

[Arkinsaw]

I love the name-calling. Those who are against any conspiracy theory resort to personal attacks even though their is no way they will ever know for sure that they are right. Those who are pro-conspiracy theory also act as if they know for absolute sure. The fact is we don't know.

[CyberAnt]

Hmmm? But if you watch the film, JFK's head is thrown in a backward motion (at one point), how do you account for that ..??

And .. are you saying that the front shot through the neck was not fatal ..??

[gdc61]

i own a 6.5mm carcano, bolt action rifle. the bullet is 156grain and has a muzzle volocity of 2400+fps. i bought it to build a lightweight deer rifle for my wife. then she found out it was the same gun as used to kill JFK. now it sits in my gun case.....:(
