Vincent Salandria — False Mystery E. Martin Schotz — History Will Not Absolve Us -
Excellent video! Micah, I bailed out on that website several years ago. I used to invite people to turn their head to the right, glance down at the top of their right shoulder, raise and wave their right arm, observe the shirt fabric INDENT. With parsimony as my North Star, now I invite people to observe the visible shirt collar behind JFK’s neck in Dealey Plaza photos. JFK’s jacket collar was in a normal position, counterfeiting the claim the shirt and jacket were severely bunched up as required by the SBT.

Fresh Forum Funding Donation Campaign
Cliff Varnell replied to Mark Knight's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
Absolutely. I contribute every fund drive. I have some technical issues plaguing me at the moment, but I'll get through it... -
From Episode 15: <quote on> So far we’ve talked about the President’s throat wound, and back — or back of the neck wound depending on your JFK assassination worldview. </q> Depending on your worldview? The bullet holes in JFK’s clothes are 4 inches below the bottom of the collars. Dealey Plaza photos/films show a normal amount of shirt collar visible behind his neck. The jacket collar was, therefore, in a normal position resting at the base of his neck, or immediately above it. What kind of “worldview” posits 3 inches of shirt and 3 inches of jacket elevating above a wound at the back of the neck without pushing up on the collar at the base of the neck? Does Crumpton ever address this issue?

JFK Researchers We’ve Lost Since the 50th

I’ll take it as a No. Jim DiEugenio wrote 6 hours of Oliver Stone documentary and never mentioned the physical evidence, the bullet defects in JFK’s clothes. He wrote a eulogy for Vincent Salandria and never mentioned Salandria’s long-time emphasis on the clothing evidence. So of course the evidence that choked up Arlen Specter doesn’t rank as a ”Chokehold.” Academic Malpractice. Never bring troubling questions to a gun fight.

Bill, you’ve persuaded me on the latter point. However, the “other ways” of establishing Conspiracy are vastly inferior to the physical evidence, to the point of counter-productivity. In 1966 Gaeton Fonzi confronted Arlen Specter with the clothing defects and Specter suffered a nervous breakdown. It never got better than that.

Agreed. Like any cold case murder where the remains cannot be accessed, a thorough examination of the physical evidence recovered with the body is the highest priority. The bullet holes in JFK’s clothes are too low to associate with the throat wound. This establishes the fact that JFK suffered shallow soft tissue wounds in his back and throat with no exits — shots from two different directions, therefore conspiracy. Oswald is accused of shooting Kennedy with 6.5mm Full Metal Jacket rounds — but 6.5mm FMJ don’t leave shallow wounds in soft tissue. Isn’t that enough to establish Oswald’s innocence?

How does the Landis bullet associate with the back wound, other than the requirements of your pet theory? How would Landis know if the round were planted or not? You assume the truth of your pet theory. I don’t have “divine insights” — I have ear witness testimonies, eye witness testimonies, photographs, the Zfilm and physical evidence. According to your pet theory JFK was hit in the back with a hunk of metal that damaged no organs — and for 6 seconds he didn’t say a word. He had time to warn the others, or duck down. But instead he reacted to a strike in his upper back by balling his fists in front of his throat and remaining mute. What a crock!
