You appear to labor under the impression the Lone Nut cover-up was meticulously planned, rather than a contingency not completely thought through. Just because the SBT doesn’t work with phony measurements — taken in violation of several autopsy protocols — doesn’t make them true.

According to Charles Senseney weapons were designed for special operations for both Special Forces and the CIA under Army cover. The CIA mostly used the dart gun. Most importantly, the FBI was put on alert for hostile operatives from outside the country using blood soluble rounds. http://www.aarclibrary.org/publib/church/reports/vol1/pdf/ChurchV1_6_Senseney.pdf

Tink pooh-poohs the throat entrance because even a .22 would transit the soft tissue of the neck. The JFKA Master Expert Class (as well as the US gov’t and the commercial media) ignores the “general feeling” of the autopsists that JFK was hit with at least one “exotic” round which dissolved in the body. Just such technology was developed for the CIA’s MKNAOMI program which delivered paralytics and toxins that dissolved in the body. The indifference and at times hostile regard for this Autopsists’ Scenario among the JKFA Expert Master Class is tragic IMO. JFK acted paralyzed, frozen mute for 6 seconds. The wound in his throat was in soft tissue, no exit no bullet recovered. The failure of the JFKA Expert Master Class to show the slightest interest in the only hard lead in the case is mystifying. Going on 27 years posting on line I’ve grown so deeply jaded I sometimes think annual JFKA conferences shouldn’t be held in Pittsburg or Dallas, but in a town which truly appreciates collective distraction.

Yes I did! Dionne Warwick too.

Too hip for the room? Tegan & Sara Nina Hagen PJ Harvey

Purdy has a chin like the BYP Oswald, but not like the mug shot Oswald.

Time out for a dude moment. An incredible Curry shot tonight! Great game, back and forth. Until Steph hit that I was whining like a little bitch. Looked like Booker had taken over for the Suns. I like the Warriors chances to win it all. Been in so many close games, they’ve developed grit on D. At the beginning of the season I fired a yard on ‘em to win it all @ +1260. Now I’m glad I did!

Cory, I still owe you a beer and a brat, haven’t forgot. Meanwhile, back to the serious business of Music Goddess worship...staying on the San Francisco tip with 3 commercial hits: Linda Perry Debora Iyall Pearl Harbor

My 50 yard line lower bowl tickets didn’t show up today, Cory. What gives?

Chrissie Hynde! Good one... No discussion of Music Goddesses is complete without Cher. Or Amy Winehouse Or Wendy O. Williams

You offer no reason to take your word for it. So what? The vertebra is the “correct and only way to locate the back wound” according to Dr. Finck. That doesn’t make a wound there a fact. To blow smoke over the fact the wound was at T3, a practice to which you are devoted. They were flying by the seat of their pants because the original plan to blame a commie conspiracy went awry when the patsy was captured alive. I wish I had a dollar for every time this has been explained to you. There is no chain of possession for the Fox 5 autopsy photo. I’d like to have a dollar for every time this has been explained to you. You rely on evidence the HSCA described as “especially deficient” in evidentiary value. You bash witnesses who’s clear statements debunk the nonsense you push, and you don’t know basic human anatomy or autopsy protocol. Did I leave anything out?

Your knowledge of human anatomy is abysmal. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/back-anatomy#interactive-model The cervical spine: The cervical spine is the top part of the spine. It runs from the neck to the upper back. It consists of seven vertebrae. The cervical spine protects the nerves connecting to the brain, allowing the head to move freely while supporting its weight. The thoracic spine: The thoracic spine is the middle part of the spine, connecting the cervical and lumbar spine. It has 12 vertebrae. The thoracic spine helps keep the body upright and stable. </q> T1 is the top of the back. Since those measurements were written in pen — one of several violations of autopsy protocol — they were not taken at the autopsy. The rest of the face sheet was properly filled out in pencil and signed off as verified in pencil. So what? Just because it wasn’t consistent with the SBT didn’t make it true. Irrelevant. Irrelevant. Irrelevant. The T3 back wound debunks the SBT at a glance, so we don’t need self-aggrandizing pet theorists to microanalyze it for us. See above. So why are you so ill-informed about basic human anatomy and proper autopsy protocol?

Miley does Debbie — smoke show!

Pat’s pet theories regarding the back and throat wounds are entirely dependent on a T1 (the top of his back) four inches below the bottom of the clothing collars. The absurdity of this view should be apparent to all.

According to this, the spinal nerves relating to hand and arm movement are cervical, not thoracic. https://briggschiropracticclinic.com/vital-connections/

Good one. Cyndi Lauper is another.

May I respectfully suggest you do the research first before chiming in? The shallow back wound was in the soft tissue to the right of T3. What nerve clusters?

Please note that Pat does not address the fact that JFK balled his fists in front of his throat at the beginning of the shooting sequence. Pat would have us believe that JFK suffered a shallow wound in his back and reacted by holding his fists in front of his throat, remaining mute and immobile for 6 seconds without calling out in pain, or warning the others, or ducking down. Pat also believes that the top of JFK's back was 4 inches below the bottom of the clothing collars, but that's a separate discussion. What part of "at this exact time I saw" does Pat not understand? Note that when Bennett uses the phrase "the second shoot [sic]" he"s referring to the head shot. Note that Pat ignores the "at this exact time I saw" context and chooses to spin Bennett's statement instead. One can actually see the impact of a shot. That's not what he clearly wrote -- again, what part of "at this exact time" does Pat not grasp? What? Supported how? The first noise he heard he identified as a firecracker, not a firearm report. Gratuitous witness bashing. What part of "at the moment" does Pat not grasp? Clearly, Bennett heard the firecracker noise and saw the shot strike the back. How much more clear does this have to be? The text of his Secret Service report does not read "shoots" -- it reads "shots." Why does Pat misrepresent what's in the report? More egregious spin. Bennett's account clearly indicates he didn't identify the earlier firecracker noise as a firearm report.. More spin. Note that Pat routinely employs this type of rhetoric when witness statements are inconvenient to his pet theories. More gratuitous witness bashing. This account does not square with his contemporaneous statement -- he picked up his AR-15 as did Agent Hickey. In his contemporaneous notes he heard a "bang...bang-bang": shooting sequence, which the FBI turned around. Bennett made NO such claim. In his contemporaneous accounts he saw "at this exact time" and "at the moment" the shot hit. There are no star witnesses in Pat Speer's universe since everyone who saw the wounds got it wrong.

Because that’s what people do when they’re struck in the back — they naturally ball their fists in front of their throat so they won’t get hit in the back again? After a moment of shock, I’d expect him to arch his back and reach for the area struck while crying out in pain. Immediately before — consistent with 55 other “bang...bang-bang” ear witnesses. He wrote that he saw the shot hit, not that he saw it after it hit. Bennett saw it strike immediately before the head shot(s) — why would we see a reaction to the back shot when the head shot(s) occurred a split second later?

Are you willing to regard JFK balling his fists in front of his throat and deducing it was in response to the throat shot? No? Why not?

Nancy Wilson I’d put in the post-1970 category — along with Bonnie Raitt, Chaka Khan, Emmylou Harris, Betty Davis (Miles’ wife), Alice Bag (The Bags) and Arri Upp (The Slits). Janis and Grace are my 60’s Goddesses — along with Joan Baez, Leslie Gore, Ronnie Spector, Wanda Jackson, Diana Ross, Nancy Sinatra, Gladys Knight, Dionne Warwick, Carla & Irma Thomas...Aretha and Tina probably belong in this category too.

As a creative force I put Debbie Harry (Blondie) in the late 20th Century (post-1970) along with Patti Smith, Exene Cervenka (X), Penelope Houston (The Avengers), Siouxsie Sioux (Siouxsie and the Banshees), Pauline Murray (Penetration), Dolores O’Riordan (The Cranberries), Salt ‘n’ Pepa, MC Lyte, Patti LaBelle, Aretha Franklin, the A Girls in ABBA, Dolly Parton, Tina Turner, Linda Ronstadt...off the top of my head. Joan Jett probably belongs in this category but her influence on modern female rockers burns bright.
