To all the people who think it's so comical to suggest that JFK was shot in the back with an ice dart that contained a nerve agent, there is the indisputable and undeniable fact that the CIA contracted to have a gun that could do that produced. And stockpiles of two nerve agents were found: shellfish nerve toxin and cobra venom nerve toxin.

So, the CIA weapon to do it definitely existed, and so did the stockpiles of nerve agents. This is Senator Church holding up the gun. It was all confirmed by then CIA Director William Colby.

And that is why this claim cannot be brushed off, and it is no laughing matter.

Dr. John Lattimer’s claim that JFK displayed a “Thorburn position” is totally wrong, and it showed flagrant ignorance for a medical doctor.  

I found the case that Lattimer based his claim on. It was in a British medical journal from 1898 in which a Dr. Thorburn wrote about a patient he had, a painter who fell off a ladder, slamming his neck into on a metal beam which crushed his spinal cord at the level of C6. All his bodily muscles were instantly and permanently paralyzed, except for the few that were innervated from above that level. There was nothing Dr. Thorburn could do for him. He just lay in his hospital bed for 18 days until he died. He couldn’t eat, but they brought a wet sponge to his mouth regularly to hydrate him. He was unconscious most of the time, and when he did come to, he was delirious.  But, as he lied there, the few muscles he had that still worked slowly shortened until they reached their shortest possible length.

You see, when one muscle contracts, it stretches its opposing muscle. So, if I contract my bicep, my tricep gets stretched, and vice versa. But, if only your bicep works, then it never gets stretched. So, if it shortens a little, say, because I twitch, it’s going to stay shortened.  That’s what happened to Thorburn’s patient. When you don’t have the opposing muscle, you can’t reverse whatever shortening takes place. That’s all it was, and it has no correlation to JFK, who had no spinal cord damage and no paralysis.

 On the left is a drawing of Thorburn’s patient from the journal. So, the muscle tone in his few remaining working muscles gradually shortened them to where he wound up in that position.

It wasn’t a reflex; it was just unopposed muscle tone run amuck.  It wasn’t a reflex for JFK either; it was a panic reaction. He raised his arms in a panic because he had a respiratory obstruction from the throat shot, and he was trying to deal with it.  His actions were voluntary and purposeful. With his left hand, he pulled on his tie to loosen it. With his right hand, he put it over his mouth and coughed- to dislodge the obstruction. And it worked. As soon as he did that, he could breathe OK.

But, his actions were more instinctual and visceral than cerebral. So, it wasn’t a reflex, but it was an instinctual survival response.  There's a difference.

So, what was the obstruction? I asked Dr. David Mantik, and he told me it may have been just a bolus of blood. It wasn’t a bullet because he didn’t cough up a bullet, and there was no bullet in his body.

But, the way Kennedy raised his hands was abnormal. Normally, you raise your hands by supinating your forearm, which is a counter-clockwise rotation which gets the palm of your hand facing you. You only need to lift your hand. You don’t lift your upper arm. So, you do that by turning your forearm and lifting your hand. But, Kennedy contracted his deltoids and thrust his elbows out like wings and lifted everything. So, why did he do it that way? He did it that way because of overexcitement of his nervous system due to the nerve agent. And then when he was finished, he couldn’t put his arms down because they were in spasm due to the nerve agent.  

 So, he just sat there, unable to put his arms down. Jackie tried to press on his arm to coax it down, and it came down a little, but not much. She mostly just tipped him. And his spasticity only spread. It kept getting worse and worse until the fatal head shot put an end to him. That shot essentially killed him instantly. At that point, he was like a chicken with its head cut off; still showing some signs of life but only because his body hadn’t completely shut down but was definitely going to.

JFK exhibited very aberrant behavior in the Zapruder film, both physically and mentally, and it can’t be explained by a shallow wound in his back, affecting no vital tissue, and a puncture wound in his throat that only damaged his trachea some, but did no damage to his brain or spinal cord. JFK’s weird showings in the Zapruder film were all due to poisoning; not to physical trauma. And there is no correlation between JFK and Thorburn’s patient; none whatsoever.

 Eric A. Meece falsely claimed that the imagery of JFK and Jackie in the Altgens photo corresponds to Z-250. It does not, and not even close, as I demonstrate in this collage.

And if there are any other takers, they are going to go down too because that phony imagery of JFK and Jackie in Altgens does not match any Zapruder frames. JFK was not shot in the throat yet at the time the Altgens photo was taken. The limo was still high on the hill. And Altgens himself told us that he took that picture just as he heard the very first shot, which was not the throat shot. The very first shot was the back shot, in which an ice dart struck him in the back with a toxic payload. And physically, it felt like no more than a prick. As CIA Director William Colby said, it felt more like a mosquito bite. And JFK rode down the hill that way, as the effects of that shot spread throughout his body, before he was shot in the throat.

And I know it sounds more like the storyline from a Mission Impossible movie, but, just get over that, would you? They were counting on nobody's mind going to this place because it seems too farfetched. But, it is what happened, and I would stake my life on it.

And here's another confirmation: If you watch Dan Rather's description of the Zapruder film on November 25, 1963, he said it shows JFK being shot in the back 30 yards from the intersection. And that was exactly right. "The first shot had hit!" That's what Rather said, and he was describing what I have been telling you.

 This collage clinches it that the imagery of JFK and Jackie in Altgens is bogus. First, look above at the photo from Main Street. It was taken very close to Houston, at the entrance to Dealey Plaza. Look at JFK in that top photo. Notice that he has a very square shoulder, and you can see the point of his shoulder. But, in Altgens he has no square shoulder. It's all one continuous slope, and it isn't real. You can't tell where his shoulder ends and where his arm going down begins.

Notice also that even in the Main Street photo, JFK's hands are raised some. They are not down by his side or in his lap. And you can practically see his elbow. You know exactly where it is, even though the view of it is obstructed by Connally's shoulder. And it would have to be in the same location in Altgens. So, what is Jackie grabbing in Altgens? It can't be his arm because his arm didn't extend out that far.

This proves that what we are seeing of them in Altgens is crappy art. They removed the imagery that was there and replaced it with that crappy art. JFK was NOT yet shot in the throat when the Altgens photo was taken.

 This is the Midnight Press Conference. It starts at 53 seconds. Please watch it. Even if you've watched it before, watch it again. It's only slightly over 1 minute long, so you might as well.

Four times he asked for legal assistance. He devoted his whole statement to it; his wanting a lawyer. So, do you really think that 18 hours later, he was offered a lawyer, and he turned it down?

The State told us that, but the State was damaged by his address. The State needed to do damage control over it.

I tell you that Attorney H. Louis Nichols never met with the real Oswald. He met with an Oswald double. And he probably died not realizing it.

The reason I asked you to watch the MPC again is because I wanted you to see how sincerely and earnestly and unflinchingly Oswald asked for a lawyer. He begged for one. And after doing that, if he had turned down a lawyer on the same calendar day, he would have had to be insane. And he was not insane. Oswald never met with Nichols. They waited until Oswald was taken to his Saturday evening interrogation, and then they put an Oswald double in his cell, and that is who turned down Nichols' offer of a lawyer.

And did you hear that racket during his address? You actually hear a man giving a military order: "At ease." It's at 1:37. That's the final order given to a firing squad after they have killed someone. Do you really think someone yelled "At ease" at the Midnight Press Conference? Of course not. Why would someone have done that? It was added in editing. The State did it. They did it to Oswald, and they bamboozled us. They have been bamboozling us for 62 years.

Despite multiple witnesses claiming to see a hole in the windshield, I reject the claim that JFK was shot in the throat through the glass, and for multiple reasons.

First, shooting through the curved, laminated glass of the windshield does deflect the bullet.

Second, the bottom of his throat WAS the target. It’s not as though they were trying to shoot him in the face but missed. Nor is it that they were trying to shoot him in the chest but missed. That tiny little area was the target, and if they took the shot through the windshield, then it had to be taken from far away, such as the bridge over the Triple Underpass. It is not reasonable to think that anyone would expect to hit such a small target from that distance, even without going through glass. And remember that they missed JFK completely in one shot and hit Connally.

Third, if they shot him through the windshield, it had to be a metal bullet, and something had to happen to it.  Either it traversed him or it stayed in him. But, Dr. Perry saw that it was an entrance wound in his throat, and he had the same thought: “What happened to the bullet?” He quickly determined that there was no exit wound for it. Therefore, it had to be in him, and he looked for it. He cut the strap muscle trying to find it. But, he didn’t find it. The Bethesda doctors did not open up JFK’s neck, but they did x-ray him, and they said there was no bullet in him. Now, you can’t say that the bullet was dug out at the “pre-autopsy” because Perry saw JFK before the pre-autopsy. And remember that there were two very different medical teams. One was government (Bethesda) and the other was independent (Parkland). The plotters had to know that the first doctors to see JFK were going to be independent.  We shouldn’t doubt what Dr. Perry first said: that it was an entrance wound, without an exit wound, and no missile was found. And since it wasn’t found by x-ray either, it means that there was no bullet in JFK’s body.

Fourth, all of the above means that JFK was not hit in the throat with a metal bullet. He must have been hit with a “blood soluble” missile that dissolved. I put that in quotes  because that is how the great JFK researcher Jack White put it.  It’s  the only plausible reason why no bullet was found.

Fifth, the plotters knew in advance that they were going to claim that all the shots came from the rear.  So, if they shot him from the front, which they did, they had to do it in a way that they could claim that it came from the rear. So, the plan to call the entrance wound in his throat an exit wound was made beforehand. The truth is that the shot in his back, taken high on the hill, was more like a prick. It was not a metal bullet, and no bullet was found. So, they had to prick his throat too, so that they could claim that it was all one shot that traversed him; hence, no bullet in his back, and no bullet in his throat. So, the Single Bullet Theory was conjured up in advance; it just didn’t include Connally.

Sixth, considering the need to take the throat shot from very close range, and to AVOID having to shoot through the windshield, and to avoid subjecting anyone else in the car to risk, I believe that the throat shot was taken by Umbrella Man using the weapon that Charles Senseny designed for the CIA: an umbrella gun.  Here is his testimony to the Church Committee.

https://aarclibrary.org/publib/church/reports/vol1/pdf/ChurchV1_6_Senseney.pdf

If you read his testimony, you’ll see that he was very impressive and convincing. There are no holes in his story.  But, the guy who claimed to be Umbrella Man to the HSCA, Steven Louis Witt, was a joke.  And do you know who agrees with me? It’s someone who is getting this letter, the great investigative reporter Russ Baker. He wrote this piece: JFK Umbrella Man, More Doubts:

https://whokilledjfk.net/steven_witt.htm

So, just consider that Witt actually told the HSCA that on November 22, 1963, he was not seeking to attend the JFK motorcade. He was just out for his usual lunchtime walk from the insurance company he worked for in downtown Dallas. He said he just ran into the motorcade. AND THEN HE JUST HAPPENED TO PLANT HIIMSELF IN THE TINY LITTLE KILL ZONE???? Of all the places he could stop, he stopped there???? What, did he have intuition? And, why did he have an umbrella with him? When he left his office at 12:15, or whatever, there was no sign of rain. It was sunny and warm. And then he got the idea to taunt JFK with his umbrella? He actually believed that by waving his umbrella, JFK would see him and get the thought, “He is mocking my father with that umbrella because my father tried to prevent World War II, and that umbrella represents Neville Chamberlain who appeased Hitler.” That is preposterous, but it also preposterous that a man who was only 13 years old when WW2 broke out would still be focused on Joseph Kennedy’s actions in the lead-up to the war. By 1963, the Nazis were long gone, and we had a new enemy: the Soviet Union. So how could this insurance salesman still be so mired in the past? It is ridiculous, and it is not credible.  

So, what do I make of the witnesses who claimed to see a bullet hole? I don’t know what to make of them, but I do know that what I’m telling you trumps them. And I have a sneaking suspicion that the plotters wanted the bullet hole story to surface and flourish. And that’s because they added the bullet hole to the windshield of the Altgens photo, to go along with their phony imagery of JFK and Jackie in the back seat, in order to sell the idea that the Altgens photo was taken after the throat shot. It wasn’t. It was taken before the throat shot when the limo was still high on the hill. What the Altgens photo really captured was the back shot, which was supposed to stay under the radar.

But, even if you are not yet ready to support the latter part of this missive, the first part, that the absence of a bullet in JFK’s throat and the absence of an exit wound for it mean that he was not hit with a metal bullet, which means that it was a dissolvable missile, which means that it could not possibly have gone through glass- that is unassailable. JFK was NOT shot in the throat through the windshield, period, and that’s final.

 If the imagery of JFK and Jackie in the Altgens photo is real, then it should correspond to some Zapruder frame without contradiction. I know that Zapruder shot from the north side of Elm, while Altgens was in the street on the south side of Elm. So, there was an angular difference. However, our minds can account for that. With that considered, there still has to be complete consistency.

So, what frame does it correspond to? The urban legend is that it corresponds to 255, and one guy, Rob Mastroianni, proposed it as the matching frame. And I responded by pointing out the discrepancies between Altgens and 255, which you can see below. And I could have said more, but I ran out of room.

And I can do that for any Zapruder frame. That's because there is no Zapruder frame that corresponds to what we see in Altgens. That's because what we see in Altgens isn't real. It is art. Crude, crappy, JFK art.

But, you have to say which Zapruder frame Altgens corresponds to, because if you don't, then your claim is empty.

So, here is the slap-down of 255. If anyone else wants to take a shot, go ahead. You can't win. I can slap down every frame. That's because there is no frame that corresponds to it.
