Oswald in the doorway: the blog of the Oswald Innocence Campaign, by Ralph Cinque

They say that Trembling Hills is lovely this time of year, and I'm sure Joseph Backes enjoyed a nice stay there. I hope you didn't overdo the Thorazine, Backass. You know what drugs did to O'Blazney.

Anyway, Backes is back, but he doesn't like my endorsement of the ice bullet idea. Funny, he never trashed Jack White for endorsing it. It's really not so much what I say but that I say it that turns Backes against something. 

But, as I said, the ice bullet idea has been around for a long time. Here is the affidavit of FBI Agent Francis O'Neill to the HSCA:

"Some discussion did occur concerning the disintegration of the bullet. A general feeling existed that a soft-nosed bullet struck JFK. There was discussion concerning the back wound that the bullet could have been a "plastic" type or an "Ice" bullet, one which dissolves after contact."

And here's the thing: you have to account for that back shot. If it wasn't an ice bullet, if it was a regular bullet, what happened to it? Unless you are a Warren Report devotee, you don't support the Single Bullet Theory. And that means that bullet that entered Kennedy's back did not traverse him. It did not go through him- in one side and out the other. Therefore, what happened to it? 

OIC senior member Dennis Cimino explains why the defective bullet theory doesn't make sense:

"No, a regular bullet had to have continued on because if it had enough power to make the trip from the aimed rifle barrel to the President without dropping dramatically due to the sabot causing a major velocity loss, then it would have struck the limo trunk lid or hit the street.  But, it hit the president instead. Given that, anyone who thinks a bullet that large would stop in the President is quite stupid. it would have to have hit bone, and it would have had to hit a lot of bone to stop that short; a rib would not do it; only a spinal column hit would stop it, and that's a maybe."

So, what happened to that bullet that struck Kennedy in the back?

What the Idiot Backes doesn't realize is that he can't just trash my idea without explaining what actually happened. But, he doesn't do that because he's an idiot. You see that hole there, Backes? A bullet went in there. What happened to it? You start by answering that. Before you trash anything else, you lay out your theory of the hit. And if you have no idea what actually happened, then you shut the fuck up. If you don't know, you don't know. 

Go back to Trembling Hills, Backes. You're not fit for the outside world.
