Why on Earth would JFK be holding his arms up like that? We could make jokes about it, as I have done. But, he wasn't doing it voluntariliy. He was in spasm. He had no control over it. And he couldn't stop it. He couldn't release it. And he did not, at the time, have a tunnel going through his neck from back to front in the midline. Would you stop and think about how catastrophic that would be? He would have gone into shock and lost consciousness.

 I watched PBS Cold Case: JFK from 2013.

I did vaguely remember it. It features a father and son who did some shooting experiments. But, the program started with them admitting that the Carcano rifle was extremely undesirable, that there were many better rifles that Oswald could have bought. So, why did Oswald buy the Carcano? Because it was cheap.

Let’s step back from that for a second because Oswald denied that he owned a rifle. I know that the FBI said that he mail-ordered one from Chicago, but who are you going to believe? The FBI or Oswald?

Some may think that’s funny, but it’s not. Oswald wasn’t stupid. He professed his innocence, and if he owned a rifle, he certainly would have admitted owning it. He would have said, “Yes, I own a rifle, but I didn’t shoot anyone with it.” It would be insane for an innocent person who owned a rifle to deny that he owned it. I own two guns. Do you think I would ever deny that to the police? If they told me my gun was used to murder someone, I would say, “Well, it wasn’t by me. Someone must have stolen my gun and done it.” I wouldn’t lie, and neither would Oswald.

But, you say you think Oswald was guilty? It doesn’t matter. This was supposed to be an investigation to determine if he was guilty. So, you can’t start off with the assumption that he was. You’re trying to find out if he was. So, you can’t presume he was. You just don’t have the right.

Here is John Armstrong’s brilliant analysis that proves that Oswald did not order a rifle from Chicago.

[https://harveyandlee.net/Guns/Guns.html](https://harveyandlee.net/Guns/Guns.html)

Back to Cold Case JFK, you hear a voice say “Dallas Police had found the rifle, the cartridges, Oswald’s fingerprints- they had the case sewed up in an excellent way in 2 days.”

That was a bold-faced lie. Dallas Police could not find Oswald’s fingerprints on the rifle. Neither could the FBI. Days later, after Oswald was dead, they claimed to find a partial palmprint. That was dubious and certainly not proven, but it’s not a fingerprint.

I’m just 13 minutes into the program, and it is already screaming to me that it’s propaganda.

They said very little about the autopsy, and they left out the most important thing. The autopsists did the whole thing without knowing that there was a bullet wound in the throat. They found what appeared to be a shallow wound in his back, which had no bullet in it. Why didn’t Humes dissect Kennedy and find out exactly where that wound went? The next day Humes talked to Perry and found out about the throat wound. So, why didn’t Humes insist on going back and CONFIRMING that the back wound and the throat wound were connected? And if they wouldn’t let him, then he should have gone on a public rampage of protest, traveling the country, and I mean akin to yelling in the streets that “Soylent Green is people!” Do you understand that there is just no excuse for not doing it?

They also mentioned that a bullet was found on a stretcher, but that bullet was associated with Connally, not JFK. The idea that they were hit by the same bullet wasn’t proposed until April 1964. It had no bearing on what was going on in 1963.

All the doctors except one who probed the wound said that it was located next to T3, including JFK’s personal physician, Admiral George Burkley. He even put it on JFK’s death certificate. A bullet that entered JFK’s back at a downward angle at T3 could not come out his throat.

But, what really matters, and what is screaming at us in no uncertain terms is THEY COULD HAVE EASILY CONFIRMED IF THE BACK AND THROAT WOUNDS WERE CONNECTED, BUT THEY DIDN’T DO IT. That is unforgivable, inexcusable, reprehensible, and intolerable.

Of course, the one doctor who said otherwise was Humes. He didn’t give a spinal segment. He made some arcane measurements and then said it was “slightly above the superior margin of the scapula” which would put it between T1 and T2.

No mention was made of the discrepancy between what the Parkland doctors reported about JFK’s massive head wound and what the autopsy doctors claimed. The Parkland doctors all said that it was in the lower right occiput, and they all demonstrated it with a fist behind their head on the right. However, Humes said the blowout wound was on the top and right side of JFKs’ head, above his right ear. He said that an entrance wound was found slightly above and to the right of the external occipital protuberance, which was in the area that the Parkland doctors said was blown out.

This discrepancy between the Parkland doctors and the Bethesda doctors is Ground Zero in the JFK debate, and the program didn’t even mention it.

Then, they went into the Zapruder film. They said that before JFK disappeared behind the sign, there was no sign that he was hit. That isn’t true. You can see that JFK’s face was obscured before he disappeared behind the sign. And you can plainly see that Jackie had stopped waving and had turned towards him long before they disappeared behind the sign. She knew that something was wrong.

In frame 206, JFK wasn’t waving. It looks like he was covering his face with his hand, but he didn’t do that either. They did it with paint. And you can see that Jackie is turned and looking at him. Supposedly, this was before anything happened to him, but that is a lie. He was already shot in the back, and he was reacting to it.

Then, they got to Luke Hague and his son Mike who were going to test the rifle. First, they wanted to determine if the bullet could cause 7 wounds in 2 men. So, they shot into pine. Huh. I have to laugh. Pine is soft. It’s not a hardwood. You’re lucky if you can pound a nail in it without it splitting.

Then, they shot into gels that were supposed to have the same density as muscle, and they were satisfied that it penetrated far enough into the gel to equal the density of all the tissue affected by the 7 wounds. But, stop a second. What difference does it make? What does it prove? Even if you think the test is valid, which I don’t, it certainly doesn’t prove that Oswald did it.

In other words, this whole thing just presumed that Oswald did own a rifle, that he was up on the 6th floor, and he was shooting at Kennedy. Therefore, all they had to do was establish that the rifle was up to the task, and voila, it meant Oswald must be guilty. But, that is ridiculous. Oswald didn’t even own a rifle. And he wasn’t up on the 6th floor. He was standing in the doorway during the shooting. And, it has never even been proven that any of the shots came from the infamous 6th floor window.

Then, they said that a shot from behind the fence would have traversed Kennedy’s head, meaning gone out the left side. Perhaps if it was an FMJ bullet, but the bullet used in the fatal head shot was a frangible bullet that was designed to explode. And they admitted that there were bullet fragments in Kennedy’s head. But, they assumed the same kind of bullet that caused 7 wounds in 2 men and emerged pristine was significantly deformed the instant it struck his head.

They ended with this old guy named Larry whose job it was to explain how a bullet shot from a downward angle, from way up on the 6th floor at the top of the hill, (remember, they went downhill) could hit Kennedy at the bottom of his skull in back and then for the bullet to go up and exit high on his head. So, supposedly, the bullet went down and then up. Larry explained that the bullet got deformed, which gave it yaw, and it rose like a plane inside Kennedy’s head. He even made a motion with his hand like a plane taking off. And he said that it caused a pressure wave in his head that stimulated every nerve in his body, “and since the back muscles are stronger than the abdominal muscles, it caused him to arch dramatically backwards” which he demonstrated.

Uh, no, he didn’t. JFK did NOT arch dramatically backwards. That’s a crock of bull shit, Larry.

Don’t watch this horrible this thing. It’s awful. It’s a waste of time. It’s just appalling sophistry dressed up in pseudo-scientific lingo. But, do watch Larry because that old blowhard is funny. He comes on near the end. He reminds me of Baghdad Bob from the Iraq War, the same kind of professional bloviator. And Americans liked Baghdad Bob, which is probably why they didn’t harm him. They didn’t execute him, nor did they imprison him. How could they when he was affectionately known as Baghdad Bob? You’ll get a kick out of Larry the same way. Here’s the link. He starts at 49 minutes.

 I found the open door in LBJ's SS car in the Zapruder film too. It's been staring right at us for 62 years, but nobody noticed it. It's the white car that has barely begun the turn from Houston Street. Do you notice that you can see the front wheel entirely? Now, look at the rear wheel. Notice that the left upper quadrant of the tire is obscured. It is obscured by the open door. So, from 9:00 to about 11:00, the tire is obscured by that open door. Cast your eyes back and forth between the front wheel and the rear wheel a few times. That left rear door was open.

This was high on the hill. Ignore the freeway sign. It isn't real. The Stemmons freeway sign was much lower. That sign we're seeing is entirely bogus.

You can see LBJ's grey Lincoln convertible in front of the SS car making the turn from Houston. LBJ's driver is staying back, and I'm sure it's because LBJ told him too. LBJ was afraid. He wasn't told much about the operational part of killing Kennedy. That wasn't his department. His role was the coverup; getting the whole federal government behind the official story. The killing part involved people he didn't know and couldn't trust.

What a brazen act that was, to be in a moving car riding along with the door open? In front of a crowd of people? They really didn't care, did they.

JFK hasn't been shot yet, but he is about to be shot. I am referring to the back shot that hit him to the right of the spine, adjacent to T3. It was a frozen dart that contained a nerve agent and probably other drugs. It did not penetrate very deeply. It was formulated to burst and vanish upon entering.

I have very crisp memories from my youth of digging ice cubes out of a tray and having one burst. It would startle me. And I would look around for it because it seemed to vanish in thin air. Ice has a crystal structure. The bonds between the hydrogen and oxygen in ice are spread apart. There are huge gaps, making ice less dense than liquid water, which is why ice floats on water. Here is a young woman explaining why ice cubes crack and pop, which is the prelude to bursting. Minerals in water interfere with the crystal formation, making the ice more subject to bursting. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/IhvAedCXPuw

So, JFK was hit in the back with the drug-laced ice dart, whose purpose was to immobilize him in the car. The ice burst on impact with the warm body, but because of the high velocity, it did penetrate a little first. And it was all by design. I'm sure they did extensive experiments to determine how long it would take for the drugs to take effect when delivered this way. The extreme slowing of the vehicle was necessary to give it sufficient time. But, we are talking seconds, not minutes. This was right before he was hit.

 I just discovered something that I have been wondering about for decades. Why is the door to LBJ's Secret Service car open in the Altgens photo? It looks like it's still in the intersection. I presumed that since the door was open, the vehicle must have stopped.

But, that assumption was false. The truth is that they were driving along with the door open. You can see them doing it in the Muchmore film. The car was cruising behind the Veep car with the door open.

They made an attempt to blur it, but that didn't work. And as soon as I saw it, my first thought was that it must also be that way in the Nix film, which also captured Houston Street. But, I checked it, and the Houston Street portion of Nix ends before the Veep-SS car comes into view. Now, did it really end there, or did they crop it just because the door was open?

So, the door was open even as they were cruising along Houston. Now, why would that be? I can only speculate.

So, they were there to protect LBJ. And LBJ certainly knew that bullets were going to be flying on Elm Street. We know that LBJ had his driver stay farther back than the usual spacing. We know that LBJ ducked down. We can see that in both Nix and Muchmore.

And in Altgens, we can't see him at all, but I think that's because he was crouched down, and it showed. So, rather than showing that, they just removed him completely. Did I mention that LBJ killed Kennedy? He did. He was one of the principal plotters, and he rose to the top for the obvious reason that he was going to become POTUS. That pretty much makes you King of the Hill.

So, why would LBJ's SS agents be driving along with their door open? I think it was to be able to respond fast if LBJ came under fire. LBJ was really worried about that. It wasn't just that he was entering a Kill Zone and might get shot accidentally. Being a very evil man who had arranged murders before this one, it occurred to him that his enemies might have engineered a simultaneous attack on him and JFK. He knew very well that there were a lot of people who hated his guts.

I'm sure they didn't have the door open the whole motorcade route. But, once they entered Dealey Plaza, which was at the corner of Main and Houston, the danger began. So, they opened the door so that they could get out fast, in case they had to return fire, or run to LBJ.

I tell you, the film-alterers really should have gotten rid of that. It's a bit of a smoking gun. Because, let's face it: there is no innocent excuse for it. You could probably come up with some funny ones. I'll go first: He had the door open because the A/C was broken, and he was trying to create a breeze. He had the door open because it was an isometric exercise, and this trip had cost him a workout. He had the door open because the guy sitting next to him had bad, unrelenting gas.

 Dr. David Meagher is or was a pediatric surgeon of distinction, and he does some JFKing.  He and I have interacted some, contentiously.  But, I am glad he’s here because being a doctor and a surgeon, he has the ability to assess JFK’s condition in an educated way, unlike most people. And now, I want him to address the Single Bullet Theory because it is my contention, having been a chiropractor for almost 50 years, that the Zapruder film tells us that JFK could NOT have been struck with a bullet that traversed his neck from back to front.

I’ll begin by pointing out that Dr. David Mantik informed me that he did a precise anatomical analysis and determined that if a bullet had entered JFK’s neck just to the right of the spine and exited in the midline of his throat, that it would have hit the spinal cord.

Now, the word “midline” was used by Dr. Malcolm Perry at Parkland Hospital, and that was the only place that JFK’s throat wound was seen by doctors. The autopsy doctors didn’t see it until after the tracheotomy obliterated the wound.

So, all we can go by is Dr. Perry saying it was in the midline.

So, how far from the spine was the presumed entrance wound in his back? Since the Parkland doctors didn’t see that wound, all we have to go by is what the autopsy doctors said.

The autopsy report doesn’t state how far from the spine the entrance wound was. In fact, it doesn’t reference the spine at all. Instead, they located the wound by citing its distance from the mastoid process of the occiput and the acromion process of the scapula. For both, they said it was 14 cm.  But, I say that was duplicitous. There is no excuse for not referencing it to the spine. That’s because it was closer to the spine than those other landmarks, and because the spinous processes in your back are like a ruler.

And that’s the reason why the other doctors DID reference it to the spine. Most of them, including JFK’s own doctor, Admiral George Burkley, said that the wound was adjacent to T3, AND HE INCLUDED THAT ON JFK’S DEATH CERTIFICATE. Other doctors also said T3, except for Dr. Robert Karnei, who said it was at the level of T4.

Humes said it was slightly above the superior border of the scapula, which is usually at T2. So, if it was slightly above that, then it was between T1 and T2, according to him.  He called it a “posterior thorax wound,” but on Google AI and Chat GPT they say the wound was adjacent to C7, and that is absurd. It’s pure fiat.

But, let’s return to Dr. David Mantik who said that the bullet would have hit the spinal cord. Even if he’s wrong, it would have had to be awfully close, and it would have blown through the nerve roots, and that, in itself, would have been catastrophic.

When we look at JFK in the Zapruder film, we see a man who is seriously impaired, both physically and mentally. He had no ability to communicate, not verbally, nor in any other way. He was incapable of taking any action. He showed no indication of being aware of what was happening to him and understanding it. And he lost control of his muscles, where after bringing his hands up, WHICH WAS NOT A REFLEX, BECAUSE THERE IS NO SUCH REFLEX, he was unable to put his arms down. We can see that he was in spasm, and the spasticity spread and worsened as he sat there.

However, he shows no sign of paralysis at all. NOT ONE OF HIS MUSCLES LOST ITS NERVE SUPPLY. Despite a big, fat bullet boring through his neck, from back to front, and exiting in the midline?  That is impossible. JFK was able to sit upright with all his postural reflexes working, and that tells you that that didn’t happen. There was no nerve/muscle interruption in his body.

And make no mistake: the effect of such a shot would have been paralyzing. Even if the bullet missed the cord, the damage to his nerve roots from the trauma, the cavitation, and the inflammation, would have been devastating.  He would not have been able to sit there, as he did. He would have gone down.  And don’t tell me his back brace held him up. And don’t tell me it was upper motor neuron because it wasn’t. The effect would have been paralysis; not hypertonicity.

So, the clinical picture that we see of JFK in the Zapruder film does not support the claim of a bullet that tunneled through his neck from back to front.   

Here he is in 253 all contracted, unable to put his arms down. He is in serious trouble, but he has no nerve/muscle disconnections. Everything is working. The communication between his nervous system and his muscles is intact. After a bullet bore all the way through his neck from back to front? No way!

And, his spasms were NOT due to trauma. All he had suffered was a shallow wound in his back that affected no vital tissue, and a puncture wound in his throat that did not affect his brain or spinal cord.  His spasticity was due to a nerve agent that was delivered in the back shot with a frozen dart.

A bullet traversing him in the manner described, if true, would have instantly paralyzed him, put him in shock; and unless he got immediate surgical intervention, and massive steroids like Christopher Reeves got, he would have died.

We need to stop kidding ourselves. If the Single Bullet had happened, the gravity of that trauma would have been catastrophic and life-threatening, and there is no way it fits his presentation in the Zapruder film. Every doctor on Earth should be able to see that. That includes you, Dr. Meagher. You are free to write-up your own appraisal of JFK’s condition, as seen in the Zapruder film, but be aware that I am going to respond to it; every word.  

 Here's an interesting impact of my work: it forced a Philadelphia tv station to alter its work. The station had posted footage of Oswald arriving at Parkland hospital, but I pointed out that it was fake, that it was a reenactment. It included real footage of the ambulance getting there, but, the closeup of the deboarding was fake. I still have this collage that I made at the time showing the fake Jim Leavelle getting out of the ambulance, where he is younger and thinner than the real Leavelle on the right. And I recall that when he got out and stood up, that he had these long, spindly legs, unlike the real Leavelle.

But, the easiest thing to see is the age difference. Look how jowly the real Leavelle was on the right compared to the tightness of the face of the younger man on the left.

 But, after I started bellyaching about it, what the station did was keep the few seconds of real footage at the beginning, showing just the ambulance and no people, which reduced the length of the video to less than 10 seconds. And it's there to this day. So, they make you watch a 30 second commercial just to see less than 10 seconds of real footage of the ambulance. They removed all of the reenactment.

 https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/video/news/national-international/oswald-arrival-at-parkland_dallas-fort-worth/2188047/

 That was stupid. They should have just removed the whole thing. And maybe they will now, if word gets back to them about this.

 So, JFK was shot in the throat, and when he got to the hospital, the surgeon could find no bullet in his throat, and no exit wound for that shot. There is no chance that it was an exit wound. The wound had a diameter of 5 mm, and the Carcano bullet had a diameter of 6.5 mm. There are multiple and diverse reasons that it could not have been an exit wound, and I shan’t devote another second to it.

So, what does that compel us to believe? It compels me to believe that he must have been shot with a dissolvable missile. If you are just hearing that for the first time, I know it sounds farfetched, but you need to get over it because it is like an obligatory move in Chess- where you either make that move or you concede.

But, there is one more consideration. We can’t assume that they shot him in the throat by mistake. We can’t assume that they meant to shoot him in the face or in the chest. There is no basis to go there. Speculation is not unlimited. This isn’t Imagination Day at Kindergarten. Even speculations have to be tied to something concrete, and there is nothing to suggest that they were trying to shoot him in the face or chest.

And there is more. When your head is in its neutral position, the upper part of the throat is covered by the chin. So, it’s only the lower half of the throat that is exposed. So, place your index finger on your Adams Apple and your thumb on the suprasternal notch. Now, pull your hand out and look at the distance between the two. That was the size of the target.

I have some experience shooting, and it started in my youth. My father was a New York City policeman, and he had to go to the police range regularly and practice shooting. Sometimes, I would go with him. He was a very good shot; much better than me. But then again, I was 10 to 12 years old.

But, at what distance could someone reliably hit that tiny little target? And let’s assume it would have been a disaster for the perpetrators if JFK was shot in the face or in the chest. I say that that shot had to be taken at very close range.  The people who think it was taken from very far away and taken through curved glass are not being realistic.

I think it was taken by Umbrella Man, and we have something concrete to support it.  The mechanical engineer Charles Senseney testified to the Church Committee in 1975 that he was hired by the CIA to design an umbrella gun that would shoot dissolvable flechettes, which are darts. Here is the summary on Chat GPT:

Charles Senseney's Testimony to the Church Committee
Charles Senseney, a former CIA weapons developer, provided significant testimony during the Church Committee hearings in 1975. His statements focused on the CIA's involvement in covert operations, including the development of assassination tools.

Key Points from Senseney's Testimony

• Umbrella Poison Dart Gun: Senseney revealed that he created a specialized weapon designed to deliver poison via a dart, which was intended for covert assassinations

 Now, let’s talk about Umbrella Man. He wound up right at the Kill Zone, and it wasn’t very big; it was very small. I would tell you that it started at the freeway sign and ended at Zapruder. Maybe 30 feet. What percent of the motorcade route was the Kill Zone? The motorcade route was 10 miles, so 52, 800 feet.  Divide that by 30 and you get 176. So, the Kill Zone was only 1/176 of the motorcade route, and Umbrella Man was there. Do you think that was an accident?

Many people have said that Umbrella Man was involved, but only as a spotter and signaler.  But, don’t you think they could have come up with a way to signal without being as ostentatious as waving an umbrella on a sunny day? There’s nothing subtle about that.

The authorities admitted that the limo was moving very slowly down Elm after it completed the turn from Houston. They have admitted that it was only going 11 mph. Do you realize how slow that is? The next time you’re driving, go to an empty parking lot and try driving 11 mph and see how it feels. I go to this park to walk, and it has a long entrance road to get to it. And because it goes by a school, they set the speed limit on this road to 15 mph.

So, you have to drive at 15 mph for a mile to get to the park. And it’s hard. It’s a struggle. So, imagine 11 mph. But wait: 11 is what they claim. It may have been slower than that. It may have been less than 10.

Jean Hill said that she spoke to JFK, saying, “Mr. President, look this way.  We want to take your picture.”  How fast could he have been moving when she said that. Even if he was going 10 mph, he would have passed her before she finished speaking. I think the limo either stopped completely or nearly did. I think it definitely slowed to less than 5 mph when it reached the Kill Zone.

So, Umbrella Man was standing there, at the cusp of the Kill Zone. JFK was approaching him. The limo was going extremely slowly. And JFK was turned towards him, Umbrella Man. And that may have been the spot that the limo stopped completely, just so Umbrella Man could get off that shot from very close range.

Umbrella Man is the one who shot JFK in the throat, and he wasn’t Stephen Louis Witt.
