A Forensic Analysis Of The X-Rays of JFK’s Skull Yields Surprising Results
American Thinker ^ | May 22, 2024 | Jerome R. Corsi

Posted on 05/22/2024 4:19:02 PM PDT by grundle

We now know with forensic certainty that two frontal headshots and one shot from the rear at a low angle (not from the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository) killed JFK. The evidence for these conclusions comes from a new book, The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy: The Final Analysis, that I have recently published with Dr. David W. Mantik, who has a Ph.D. in physics and a medical practice extending over five decades as a radiation oncologist and who has seen the JFK autopsy skull X-rays more than anyone else.

Using a densitometer, Dr. Mantik measured the light coming through the X-rays millimeter-by-millimeter (with some measurements at a tenth-of-a-millimeter calibration). After analyzing the JFK right lateral autopsy, Dr. Mantik provided forensic proof that the third and final shot hit JFK in the right temple by the ear. The bullet furrowed a trail to the back of JFK’s head and blew out a gaping, avulsive wound in the right occipital region of JFK’s skull.

Dr. Michael Chesser, M.D., made optical density measurements of the three extant JFK autopsy skull X-rays in the National Archives, confirming Dr. Mantik’s findings. In JFK’s lateral X-ray film, Dr. Michael Chesser spotted a keyhole fracture in the temporal bone near JFK’s right ear. Such a fracture was described in “Keyhole Fracture of the Skull,” published in the December 2008 issue of the Military Medicine Radiology Corner

Forensic and visual evidence of a second head shot, especially one from the right front, is sufficient evidence to dismiss the Warren Commission’s findings as a proven coverup.

Been there and filmed it from a car moving same speed as well as from book depository. We teach long range shooting and the shot from the book depository is far more difficult than the grassy knoll. Also read the depositions from the Warren Commission by the doctors who took care of him. The primary questioner was Sen Arlen Spector. Every one of them describes a large occipital wound ( back of the head) with massive brain damage. Everyone of them was either faculty at Parkland hospital or surgical trainees who later became Professors at UT Southwest (Parkland), which was the premier trauma hospital in the US, or at Cornell. Not people who would miss that kind of detail. This would be more consistent with an exit wound in the back of the head.

I have been to both places. 68 yards at a target moving slightly downhill and to the left is a lot easier than a shot going left to right at 10 MPH in which you have to pan the target and hit it on the fly with a rifle. Easy with a shotgun which I do frequently during duck season.
And how did both shooters have the same lot number from the box of bullets found in the sniper’s perch?

It will take some digging. When this guy first came out, i started following out of curiosity. In one of his interviews he made this claim. This led me to look further into investigative reporters who have accumulated decades of circumstantial and factual evidence that we’ve never got a man above LEO (350 miles), like Bart Sibrel (and many others). Since I work in aerospace, I naturally understand the inherent problems in engineering, so it’s much easier to film moon landings in labs rather than actually accomplish the tall task of going 238,000 miles to the moon and back without navigational computers (with 1 fuel tank?!)

You’re the person who pontificates on topics of which you know less than nothing.

Good point. I can’t investigate fuel consumption by the Atlas 5, navigational computer power and software, RF communication, radiation loads,,etc. Because it was all spoliated by NASA.

“Same exact head pasted onto two different photos.”

Not only that, the lighting/shadow angles are different between his chin/face and behind his body. If the angles were the same there would be no shadow under his chin or on his neck on his left side.

And you accuse others of “believing lies” ... but you know how to spell “spoliated”, so you must be smart.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahahahahaha!!!!!

It was obvious shortly afterward that JBJ had the most to gain. There was some odd things that happened aboard AF 2 that JBJ was flying in - I can no longer remember what exactly, some 60 years having gone by. There likely is some source somewhere in some library - internet sources would have been scrubbed many many decades ago.

Yes, they replaced the head with Oswald’s head in the photo.


That was back in the day when they used razor blades to alter photos. There is, as I recall, an odd angle where the neck joins the body.

I wonder what biden’s scans or x-rays would show?


nothing literally nothing, completely empty except for some strings and a microphone.

They fact they haven’t is proof enough the landings happened.

As are the lunar orbiter photos.

In the Nixon tapes, right before the infamous gap, Nixon says something about how Watergate will bring up “the whole Cuban thing”.

I've come to believe Nixon was referring to his Cuban “plumbers” being involved (prior to Nixon using them) in the assassination. I think it was Haldeman that later wrote that he thought that was what Nixon was referring to as well.

he was trained marine sharpshooter, so he could do things most ordinary people could not do.

Nothing so hot about getting a sharpshooter badge

most ordinary people could not do today. In those days, kids would shoot squirrels in the eye for fun and food. Being a trainer sniper would have been a different matter.

You wouldn't happen to be thinking of "the wink," would you?

Oswald only had rifle training in basic which was many years before. After he got pout of service, he would have had to practice every day with a trainer to re-achieve sharpshooter status - which is not that great of an achievement.
Most kids with a BB gun or a .22 could qualify.

I don’t know, its been too long ago - think it was something to do with the swearing in - but these days, that’s more like a guess.

I believe I had read that DJT at some point was going to release more information on this, but whatever he saw made him say he could not do it.

How about the witnesses at Jack Ruby’s clubs who said that Ruby knew Oswald. The FBI didn’t care.
