JFK's fatal head wound: The truth for those who want to know (very graphic)

The Zapruder film proves itself to be authentic. There is no possibility that any frames could have been cut out of the film or altered. Why/how? Every time a frame was exposed, part of the background scene was exposed onto both the next frame and the previous frame in the sprocket hole areas. This is because the sproket holes are between frames, as shown below:

The head wound:

The large flap of skull, skin and other tissue blown out above and just in front of the president’s right ear. The flap stayed attached and hung over the president's right cheek. On the ride to Parkland, Mrs. Kennedy attempted to put it back in place. What the doctors saw at Parkland was the wound partially closed with the shattered pieces at the top rear of the wound missing. Hence, some doctors recalled a wound in that area:

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 ...

The motorcycle patrolman behind the limo was splattered with skull fragments and brains. The slow speed (15 mph) of the motorcade wouldn't account for that.

I'm not a forensic expert but I am a physician, with significant knowledge of bullet wounds, and if you watch the films, Kennedy recoiled backwards from the second shot. Some say that is a decerebrate reflex due to brain injury, I say decerebrate reflex occurs in 10-15 seconds not one.

[Wolfstar]

Yes, isn't that obvious?

[Az Joe]

No, that is not correct. Oswald was seen standing by an elevator where he had easily walked to after coming down form the sixth floor. Oswald was seen by several eyewitnesses in the sixth floor window.

Also, if I had shot the president I would say I didn;'t shoot anyone too.

Also, every question asked by the Dallas police that had to do with the rifle, Oswald answered with a lie, certain consciousness of guilt.

He knew that if he was connected up to the rifle he was cooked. On other matters he told the truth, but on anything concerning the rifle he lied and that is a proven fact.

[_Jim]

. After his arrest Oswald said several times in answer to questions shouted by reporters, "I didn't shoot anybody."

Oswald was liar of untold proportions; the local cops interviewed called him twisted and a screwball.

HIS OWN BROTHER, Robert Oswald, thinks he did it; AND he knows the 'upbringing' that partially contributed to that ...

Well said. One can still ponder a conspiracy (either on the front end or back end, or both) and still recognize the fact that clearly JFK was shot from behind.

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.

Mark Simone today on WABC in NY described something that I've never heard before: That the bone and brain matter being thrust forward from a rear, high powered shot is repeatable in the lab and is called "jetting". This makes sense given the energy introduced to the enclosed skull.

He also pointed out that the distance fron the window to the cars position on the street is no great distance. TV makes it look bigger than it is. The shot has ben BETTERED by amatures.

NOT all the skull fragments NOR all the brains.

The Zapruder film shows quite a 'spray' emnating in all directions ...

Thanks Wolfstar. I also went to the internet and did actually find some rather explicit photos. Guess I never thought of them being on the "net" and only had what had been shown on the shows on TV. Guess that is why it is called the "boob" tube. Anyway, thanks for your info and patience and answering questions instead of just attacking me.

[Wolfstar]

With all due respect, doctor, please look at the last, greatly enlarged frame in the series show above. Also look at the obvious skull deformation in the right front along the hairline in the autopsy photo. I would hope that, as a physician, you would clincally evaluate what you see.

[veronica]

If he had been hit from the front his face would have been damaged, but it really wasn't much at all. Nellie Connolly is on Larry King now, FYI.

[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!

[veronica]

HIS OWN BROTHER, Robert Oswald, thinks he did it; AND he knows the 'upbringing' that partially contributed to that ...

Yep. So did Oswald's wife, until the conspiracy nuts gave her cover, and she recanted late in her life.

[null and void]

Do we really care who pulled the triger?

I think we are more concerned about the why, and who put the trigerman up to it.

IMHO - and it's just an opinion - it was Castro.

Kennedy tried to have Castro asassinated, and he merely returned the favor.

This would explain why whe don't have diplomatic relations with a country that is geographically our 4th closest neighbor.

We'll talk to Lybia, Iran, and Myamar but not 'Cuber', odd isn't it?...

[FreedomCalls]

There is a photo showing the small, round entrance wound in the back of the head

That photo is often cropped to remove the top of the image. The top of the image shows the latex-gloved hand of the autopsy doctor pulling the scalp back over the wound. It was done to show the location of the small hole made by the bullet through Kennedy's scalp. It of course covers the much larger gaping wound in the skull.

[Wolfstar]

Thanks for this link, Veronica. I'm going to reproduce one photo here — not to be gruesome, but to try to get the truth through to the doubting Thomases.

[IronJack]

It's a wonder she didn't go mad.

She did. But it was a pretty short trip.

[Az Joe]

Also, Oswald's view in the telescopic sight filled his whole field of vision. I am surprised he missed with the first shot although it was probably deflected by a branch.
