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.

 

 If you reject the Single Bullet Theory; if you realize that JFK was shot separately in the back and in the throat, then you have to accept what I am saying about the throat shot. That's because JFK was shot in the throat, and just a few minutes later, Dr. Malcolm Perry was in his throat, and he found no bullet there (which was later confirmed by x-ray), and there was also no exit wound.

If a bullet entered his throat, then there are only two possibilities: either the bullet stayed in him, or it exited him. Since neither of those happened, it means that something other than a bullet must have struck him in the throat; something that dissolved and vanished.

And before anyone says that the bullet was dug out of him at the "pre-autopsy," this was before the pre-autopsy. So that argument, even as a hypothetical, doesn't work.

So, the throat shot had to be something unusual and not a metal bullet. There is just no getting around it. It may be an unpleasant reality to some people, but life is full of unpleasant realities. And we need to be mature about it when they happen.

And the same goes for the back shot. If you rejet the Single Bullet Theory, then you are left with accepting that JFK was struck in the back with something that stopped very short in his back. It could not have been a metal bullet because, first, a metal bullet traveling 2000 feet per second couldn't stop that short, and second, even if it could, it would have to be there. The "bullet fell out" theory makes no sense. Once stopped, the bullet would have been inert. It couldn't do anything. The body couldn't push it out. And neither could gravity. So, what could make it fall out? The answer is: nothing.

Since the Parkland doctors didn't discover the back wound, one could suggest that that bullet was extracted at the "pre-autopsy." But, just because it's there as a hypothetical doesn't make it likely or compelling. Extracting a bullet with forceps would affect the appearance of the wound. Bullet extraction is a surgical procedure. No one at the autopsy said that the wound looked tampered with.

I have friends who think that the assassination attempt on Trump in Butler PA was faked. They think it wasn't real blood. They joke about "ketchup ear." But, I point out to them that Trump was taken to Butler Memorial Hospital, where he was examined and treated by doctors who were not under his control. And there is no reason to think those doctors were up to anything corrupt. And they confirmed that he was shot and suffered a minor injury. Apparently, it was very minor, just a graze. But, the fact is: they did establish that he was shot. And for me, that closes the door on any chance that Trump was faking it. It slams it shut.

Well, the situation with JFK was exactly the same. He was taken to a local hospital and seen by local doctors. And the plotters knew ahead of time that that was going to happen. As it turned out, the local doctors missed finding the back wound, but the plotters could not have expected that and counted on it.

And since "the bullet in the back" falls apart anyway when you consider that it couldn't stop that short in his back, I don't have any enthusiasm for the pre-autopsy extraction of the bullet.

So, the bottom line is that you have a choice: Either you accept the Single Bullet Theory or you accept that both the back shot and the throat shot were weird shots that did not involve a metal bullet.

  There is solid evidence for a very shallow wound in JFK's back that did not traverse him.  

But first, let’s name the autopsy doctors who said that the wound in JFK’s back was located at the level of T3. There was JFK’s own personal doctor, Dr. George Burkley. There was Dr. Boswell. There was Dr. Robert Canada. And then, there was Dr. Robert Karnei, who said that it was at the level of T4. I think there were more, but those come to mind.

Now, the spinous processes are the most logical landmark to use to locate the wound.  That’s because they were the nearest landmark to it, and they were also the most helpful and practical landmark. The vertical row of spinous processes is like a ruler in your back. And in the upper thoracic spine, ironically, the spinous processes are an inch apart. So, it’s truly like you have a ruler in your back. So, why would you use anything else?

But, Dr. Humes, in his autopsy report, did NOT locate the wound as per the spine. Instead, he said that the wound was located 14 centimeters from the mastoid process and also 14 centimeters from the acromion process of the scapula. But, to cite those references and ignore the spine? That's ridiculous. So, why did he do it?

I believe he did it because he must have known about all those doctors saying it was at the level of T3, and he didn’t want to openly contradict them.

Humes said that the back wound was slightly above the superior border of the scapula. The superior border of the scapula is usually in line with T2.  So, it appears that he was claiming that the back wound was at a level between T1 and T2.

But, he didn’t want to say that and openly contradict the others, so he said it in that other roundabout way.  

You should know that they spent a long time trying to probe the back wound. Dr. Karnei said, “we worked all night with the probes.” And they put JFK’s body in different positions trying to probe it. They even sat him upright trying to get a probe into that wound. But, it didn’t work. They always hit a wall.

As a result, Dr. Robert Canada said frankly in 1968 that “the bullet did not exit.”  Of course, there was no bullet in the wound or in JFK’s body, as proven by x-ray. And claiming that it fell out is stupid. How could it get through his clothes?  

It states in the autopsy that the only damage to JFK’s lungs was the mild contusion in the apex of his right lung. But, that was from the throat shot, not the back shot. 

So, let’s talk about the contusion. Dr. Perry saw it, and it’s why he asked for a suction tube.  He presumed it was associated with the throat shot. He never said he thought it was from something else. The trachea is located right in-between the two lung apices. So, the tracheal damage and the apical contusion- that was all one thing.   

I tell you that JFK was not hit in the throat with a bullet.  He couldn’t have been because if he had, the bullet would either have gone through him or been found. Dr. Perry did not find a bullet in him, and the Bethesda doctors x-rayed him and said there was no bullet.

JFK was hit with a flechette or dart, and the shot was taken from his right side and by Umbrella Man, just as Cutler and Sprague proposed.  It damaged some tracheal coils and caused the apical contusion. It’s ridiculous to think they had separate causes.   

The missile that entered his back did not enter the lungs; it only went through skin, fascia, and muscle. So, the apical contusion was definitely caused by the throat shot; not the back shot.

Dr. David Mantik told me in an email exchange that he did a detailed analysis and determined that if a bullet had traversed JFK, as per the official story, it definitely would have impacted the spinal cord. The effect of that would have been catastrophic. He would have been instantly paralyzed, but he wasn’t paralyzed at all.

But, even if it didn’t hit the spinal cord, it surely would have been close enough to it to affect the nerve roots, and that alone would have caused paralysis, at least temporarily. Here is the case of a 16 year old boy in Ukraine who was shot in the back of the neck. The bullet hit his cervical spine but not his spinal cord. It affected the nerve roots from C4 to C7 and then the bullet lodged in his skull behind the cheek bone. He suffered pain, shock, and paralysis. But, they got him in surgery right away and were able to remove the bullet, and he has been regaining some function, fortunately. Here is the abstract about it:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36928329/

So, in that case, there was no spinal cord damage, but there was paralysis from the nerve root damage. However, JFK incurred no paralysis at all. So, there is no way a bullet traversed his neck from back to front that close to the cord. 

And I’ll leave you with this: if the back shot didn’t even penetrate deep enough to enter JFK’s lung, how shallow was it? The lungs are, on average, 5.5 cm deep to the skin in the region of T1 to T3, which is about 2 inches. Since JFK’s lungs were not violated from that shot, it means that the depth of penetration had to be less than that. Surely a FMJ bullet that reached his skin travelling 2000 feet per second did not, and could not, stop in 2 inches. That means that it had to be something else that hit him. Ice is hard, but it is also unstable. It bursts easily, and it can be formulated to burst easily. Ice made from hard water is much more unstable than frozen distilled water. That’s because the minerals in the hard water interfere with the hydrogen bonding.

The bonds between hydrogen and oxygen in ice are different from the bonds in liquid water.  Liquid water has polar covalent bonds, in which hydrogen and oxygen share electrons. In ice, there are intermolecular bonds connecting separate molecules of H2O in an open crystal lattice. But, the presence of minerals interferes with those bonds, putting the whole lattice at risk.

The ice dart that hit JFK was designed to burst as soon as it pierced his skin. CIA Director William Colby said that, to the victim, it felt like nothing more than a mosquito bite. But, the bursting process would also act like an injection, to get the nerve agent into his system fast.

Until he was shot in the head, JFK’s physical trauma was relatively minor. He had a shallow wound in his back that was rather harmless.  And he had a puncture wound in his throat that damaged his trachea a little and caused a little contusion in the adjacent lung apex. That is not what caused his bizarre manifestations in the Zapruder film. Those bizarre effects- his dyskinesia, spasticity, and mental aberrations- were due to poisoning; not trauma.

 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.

 This gif shows you that Jackie really did try to coax JFK's arm down. She first placed her right hand on his upper arm at frame 246. Then, at frame 254, she has her left hand on his forearm. And after that she continues to coax his arm down. 

I think they were both involved. I think she was coaxing his arm down, and he was responding to that by leaning towards her. I don't think he relaxed his arm. I think it was more of a tipping action. But, I do think that in a very visceral way he was responding to her. Mentally, he was gone. He was in a state of utter confusion and derangement. And that's why I say he was responding to her viscerally; not consciously and not with any focus. 

And then, as they got to Jean Hill and Mary Moorman, Jackie raised her right elbow, which created leverage. And it stayed like that, with her right elbow high, until he was shot at 313. The last frame I have in this gif is 312.

And I can't claim to know how focused she was either, but I do know that, on some level, she was intent on getting him to put his arm down. 

Without a doubt, her right hand was on his upper arm, and her left hand was on his forearm. 

So, how does that compare with the image of them in Altgens? It shows both her hands on him, but they are on this long wand-like arm. 

But, she didn't have both hands on him until 254. 

But, it's obvoius that in Altgens, he is still in the throes of panic, and it is more consistent with frame 230.

Can you see that JFK in Altgens correlates with 230? That's a match. 

And Altgens said that he took his picture right when he heard the shot. And this was very soon after the shot. And notice that in both, JFK isn't focused on her at all. He is totally absorbed in what he's doing.  He's in a panic. He can't breathe. He has to clear his airway. And he hasn't done it yet. 

Those correlate well in terms of HIM. But, what about HER? In 230 she isn't touching hin at all; not with either hand. But, in Altgens, she has both hands on him. So, what do you make of that? 

What you should make of it is that JFK and Jackie in the Altgens photo is bogus imagery. It isn't real. It's art. It's crude, crappy art, but still art. And that crude, crappy art replaced whatever was really captured. 

So, what was captured? Well, let's take Altgens at his word. He said he snapped the shudder right when he heard the first shot. The first shot was the shot that hit JFK in the back high on the hill. It would have shown a startled look on his face; a reaction that something weird had just happened to him, but he wasn't sure what. And they couldn't let the world see that because that shot was supposed to stay under the radar. It was the shot that, officially, never happened. 

So, they made the decision to change it to a latter time and a different place, lower on the hill when JFK was shot in the throat. 

But, they were never going to say that he was shot in the throat. The plan all along was to say that he was struck in the back with a bullet (he was not; it was an ice dart) and that the "bullet" exited through his throat. 

In other words, the Single Bullet Theory was baked in the cake before 11/22. It's just that they weren't planning to include Connally. They had to add him after he was accidentally shot. 

This proves that the imagery of JFK and Jackie in Altgens is totally  bogus and inconsistent with the Zapruder film. They do not correlate. Those arrogant bastards thought they could rewrite the story in the photo, pushing it later in time and lower on the hill.
