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

I am going to discuss Kennedy now and what happened to him on Elm Street. First, I shall tell you that the Single Bullet Theory is complete, total, utter nonsense. Dr. David Mantik told me that he analyzed it and determined that if it were true, it would have hit the spinal cord. And that would have been catastrophic. I won’t devote any more time to it.

So, since JFK was not hit in the back with a bullet that traversed him, what happened to him? All we can do is look at what the autopsy doctors found, because the Parkland doctors didn’t find anything. They missed it completely.

What the Bethesda doctors found was a shallow wound that abruptly ended, with just an inch and a half of penetration, approximately.  Humes even said that it appeared to be “shallow.” He used the word “shallow.” That was all the back wound was: a shallow wound in JFK’s back that affected only skin, fascia, and muscle.

So, how could a FMJ bullet, traveling at approximately 2000 feet per second stop, in an inch and a half? It couldn’t. Isaac Newton says it couldn’t. The bullet couldn’t stop until its energy got dissipated. How could it get spent traveling an inch and a half through soft tissue (skin, fascia, and muscle)? It couldn’t.  It would take much more resistance from much more tissue to stop it.

So, it is an insurmountable problem to claim that an FMJ bullet stopped in an inch and a half in JFK’s \back. And then, there is the fact that there was no bullet in the wound. So, if it stopped, why wasn’t it there?  Why didn’t they find it inside him? And don’t tell me that it fell out because that is stupid.  

But, let’s leave that a moment and look at Kennedy: his clinical condition, physically and mentally, as seen in the Zapruder film.  Mentally, after emerging from behind the phony sign, he was gone. He was incapable of speech. I know he was shot in the throat, but it did not damage his larynx. He was hit below his larynx. It just damaged the trachea, not the larynx.

Kennedy didn’t speak because his mind was gone. Something happened to him that completely devasted his mind. Jackie said that he didn’t speak. She said that from the time she heard the explosive sound, and she turned to look at him, that he had a “quizzical” look on his face, and he never spoke again.

Be aware that it has been admitted that Jackie’s testimony to the WC was altered.  And if you read it, it doesn’t make sense because it goes from her first noticing the quizzical look on his face to the fatal head shot, with nothing in-between. That is not what happened. JFK was hit in the back high on the hill, and he rode down the hill that way, reacting to that shot, and only that shot.

A common mistake that researchers have made is to assume that although the SBT is bogus, that JFK was hit in the back and in the throat at about the same time. Some even put the throat shot before the back shot, and that is false. The back shot came way before the throat shot. JFK was hit in the back high on the hill, when the limo was still adjacent to the TSBD. He rode down the steepest part of the hill that way. And then, he was shot in the throat, and that was not a metal bullet either. There was no bullet in JFK’s throat. Dr. Perry couldn’t find one, and the Bethesda doctors, though they didn’t open his throat, they did x-ray him and found no bullet within him.

We have three photographs in which JFK was riding down the hill and not waving at spectators: Croft, Betzner, and Willis. And even in the Zapruder film, he stopped waving BEFORE he disappeared behind the phony freeway sign.

Here is frame 206. That is NOT JFK waving. That is JFK with his hand over his face. And notice that Jackie is turned and looking at him. So she stopped doing her job too. This was a political trip. They were there to garner votes. And she was a political wife. Yet, her focus, at that time, was totally on her husband. She had already tuned out the rest. She already knew that something was terribly wrong.

Now: I don’t believe he put his hand over his face. I believe they did that with paint. I think he had a stricken look on his face that they did not want us to see. Because: supposedly, nothing had happened to him yet. But, I tell you that he was shot in the back already.

JFK was shot in the throat adjacent to the Stemmons sign, the real one, but that wasn't a bullet either. That too was a dart, but not a frozen one. But, it also dissolved, and that's why Dr. Perry couldn't find it. That dart may also have had a toxic payload, but, it had another purpose. And that was to provide a plausible exit wound for the back shot. The perps knew that doctors were going to find an empty, shallow wound in JFK's back. So, by making a hole in his throat, they could claim that that's where the back bullet came out.     

But, getting back to Jackie, we can’t rely on her testimony because it was altered. Yet, her first statement, that she heard an explosion and turned and looked at him, and he had a quizzical look on his face, that speaks volumes because he was reacting to the shot in his back.

You should watch Dan Rather describing the original Zapruder film. He said that the film shows the limo making a left turn from Houston to Elm. Wait. The Z-film that we have doesn’t show that. It doesn’t show the limo until frame 133, well past the intersection. So, the Z-film did include the limo turning from Houston to Elm, but they cut it out.

Then, he said that about 35 yards from Houston, Kennedy had his right hand up to the side of his brow, when he suddenly lurched forward. We don’t see that either. But, that was when he was shot in the back. The “lurch” was from that shot, and Rather admitted it. He said, “the first shot had hit him.”  And, he admitted that Jackie was looking the other direction at the time. So, she wasn’t looking at JFK when the back shot hit. But, soon after that, she turned and saw him with a turbulent look on his face. And she never took her eyes off him again after that. She was done with the motorcade at that point. All her attention was on her husband.  And that was before they disappeared behind the sign. JFK was shot before he disappeared behind the sign.

And it’s not even a real sign. The real sign would have barely covered him at all because it was 90 degrees to the road.

From the moment Jackie first saw him in distress, Kennedy never spoke to her or responded to her again. His mind was gone, and he was not only mute, but also inert. He took no evasive action whatsoever. He made no attempt to communicate non-verbally either. He didn’t try to to protect himself or Jackie. He just sat there like a zombie and did nothing.

And, something else started happening to him. He started going into spasm. It started with his arms. He raised his arms in a very dysfunctional way to clear his throat. Instead of using the rotary motion in his elbow that enables you to “supinate,” in which you rotate your wrist counter-clockwise.  he contracted his deltoid muscles and lifted his arms like wings. You can see it in frame 232.

 

Then after that, he couldn’t put his arms down. They were stuck. He was frozen. Jackie tried to get him to relax his arms. She pressed down on his arm, above and below his elbow, trying to get him to release it. You can see it in frame 253.

 

But it was to no avail. His spasticity only worsened. It spread to his neck, back, and shoulders. By frame 312, he was contracted  everywhere.

 

It was probably very painful. The only thing that ended it was the fatal head shot.

So, Kennedy was in a state of total mental collapse and tetanic spasm of his muscles, where his muscles were being incessantly stimulated. We have to account for those two things. What caused them?

The spasticity was clearly the effect of a nerve agent. It was not due to physical trauma. The only trauma he suffered, to that point, was the shallow wound in his back that did no vital damage, and the wound in his throat that damaged his tracheal coils on his left side and caused a very mild contusion (bruise) in the apex of his right lung. But, neither of those wounds could have caused his spasticity. It was from a nerve agent.

But, let’s return to his back wound. We know it was very shallow and that an FMJ bullet could not have stopped that short. But, an ice bullet could have, from bursting on penetration. Even though ice is very hard, it is also quite fragile. It’s partly because of the impurities in ice. Frozen distilled water (which has no impurities) is stronger. But regardless, ice is a crystalline lattice, and it can fail suddenly and spectacularly under stress. In this case, we are talking about not only mechanical stress, but thermal stress because the body is so warm.

That Kennedy was hit with an ice bullet solves everything. It explains why no bullet was found within him, since the ice melted. And it explains why the wound was so shallow because the ice burst upon entry and was no longer there.

I am certain that he was hit with a nerve agent, but it may have been more than that. It may have been a cocktail of drugs.

This would all be very theoretical and speculative if not for the fact that we know that the CIA did develop a gun that could shoot an ice bullet with a toxic payload. It was called the “heart attack gun” because it could deliver a drug or drugs that could mimic a heart attack and kill a person. And it could also deliver a nerve agent. Two nerve agents were discovered in stockpiles, and they were saxitoxin from contaminated shellfish and cobra venom, both of which are neurotoxins.

CIA Director William Colby testified to the Church Committee, and he was asked if the heart attack gun was ever used, and he very cagily said no, but I think it’s likely that he lied. The year was 1975, and of course, he wasn’t’ going to say, “Oh Yeah, we used it to kill Kennedy.”  But, Colby was in the CIA in 1963. At the time, he was the Chief of the CIA’s Far East Division, and he was stationed in Washington. But, prior to that, he was the CIA’s Station Chief in Saigon, and he was in Saigon. That was from 1959 to 1962. So, he oversaw the policy changes from Eisenhower to Kennedy, and he had to be privy to the disputes that Kennedy had with his top military and intelligence advisors over Vietnam policy. 

The CIA Chief in 1963 was John McCone, whom Kennedy appointed, replacing Allen Dulles, whom Kennedy fired.  Was McCone involved in the plot to kill Kennedy? I seriously doubt it. However, afterwards, McCone was very supportive of the official story.  Like others, he got caught up in the tsunami of pressure to support it.  Consider: even Robert F. Kennedy supported it. You can’t say that he fought it.  But, I have to think that William Colby either knew that the heart attack gun was used on Kennedy, or he at least suspected it.

But, I’m not surprised that he coyly evaded it.  Of course, he wasn’t going to tell the Church Committee that the heart attack gun was used to incapacitate Kennedy, so that he would be a sitting duck when the limo reached the Kill Zone. He wasn’t suicidal.  However, I think he was murdered in 1996.  They said he drowned accidentally in the Chesapeake Bay, but I think he was murdered.

Now, if you were told, in a vacuum, that JFK was shot with an ice bullet with a toxic payload to incapacitate him, I wouldn’t blame you for being skeptical. But, you are not being told that in a vacuum. I have pointed out to you that there is no way a regular bullet, shot from a high-powered military rifle, could have caused such a shallow wound.  So, when we consider that, and the fact that the wound was empty, and that JFK manifested bizarre physical and mental changes, we know that it must have been something else- something very unusual.

This is a matter of observing clinical manifestations and trying to account for them. The heart attack gun fits perfectly with all the phenomena we see. Stop thinking that this is farfetched. It is not. The heart attack gun was real; it was developed by the CIA, the same CIA that killed Kennedy. So, if you are going to deny it, what you’re saying is that all that association is just a coincidence.
