    How does ridiculous stuff like this get published?

    So let's see .... June Cobb was actually a secret government agent/assassin named "Jerrie Cobb" and not only was she the getaway pilot at Redbird Airport but also the real Babushka Lady, who may or may not have fired bullets at the motorcade from the grass opposite the knoll?

    Indeed, it is.

    Because....

    We know that "Oswald" did not own an "Argentine Mauser".

    And....

    We know that CE139 is not an "Argentine Mauser" either.

    I'm sure that many CTers, though, think it was merely a case of the Oswald Patsy Framers just being idiots and morons when they decided to plant an ARGENTINE MAUSER at the crime scene, even though those plotters had to know that the Oswald they were framing owned a MANNLICHER-CARCANO.

    David, although I often disagree with you on details of this case, I think you raise a very valid point here.

    Anyway, it is silly to believe a couple of witnesses who had no chance to study the wound and to believe their testimony trumps the 20 Parkland doctors and nurses who saw the wound for several minutes -- some of them very closely -- and the others Michael commented on.

    What's actually silly is your refusal to believe that Mrs. Kennedy having applied pressure to the top and side of JFK's head on the way to Parkland may have obscured the true nature of the wound during those frantic, heated moments in the emergency room.

    I'm curious: in the past, have you endorsed E. Howard Hunt's deathbed confession?  Carlos Marcello's claims? Do you think Mac Wallace's prints are on the alleged weapon? Was he there under orders from Lyndon Johnson? Do you place unbridled faith in Fletcher Prouty's assertions?  Are you certain Ed Lansdale was in Dealey?  Or . . . Are you in lock step with the Warren Commission that Oswald as the lone gunman?  Perhaps you could provide a brief synopsis of what you think happened in Dealey for those of us unfamiliar with your theories? Otherwise, you're invited to sit back, quietly, as the question of Pugibet is pursued in an adult fashion.

    I'm not obligated to tell you zilch about those or any other topics, and I will continue to dismiss your entire line of research until the LaFitte "datebook" is properly authenticated and verified for ALL assassination researchers to examine.

    Which is more likely? That 20 Parkland Hospital professionals, plus all the other close-up witnesses Michael pointed out, mass hallucinated the location of the wound... or that somebody altered a few frames of Zapruder? An act that could easily be done at the time.

    Nobody "hallucinated" anything - in the heat of the moment, they were off on the location of the wound by a few inches, which may not have seemed important at the time but is hugely significant after the fact. As for extreme Zapruder film fakery being "easily done at the time," you've got to be joking - that canard has been debunked for decades.

    I find it impossible, incredible, and illogical to dismiss such specific, mutually corroborating eyewitness testimony based on autopsy photos that even Dr. Finck expressed doubts about. 

    So, let me guess .. the massive wound on the right side of the head around the ear seen so clearly seen in the Zapruder film was .. faked?

    Mike,

    The reason people like Pat and Jonathon often seem like LNers is they've been fooled by much of the coverup! The only difference between them and LNers is that LNers have been fooled by ALL the coverup.

    I haven't been "fooled" by anything, and your belief that I have speaks volumes about your lack of comprehension. I've been studying the case for more than 30 years. I've spent multiple days at the National Archives reviewing documents and photos (including crystal clear slides of the Zapruder film, which prove the head wound was located primarily on the right side of the head around the ear). I've been an invited speaker in front of hundreds of people at assassination symposiums. I've collaborated with and befriended some of the most respected researchers to ever study the case. But sure, I'm the one who has been "fooled" ...

    That suggests the coup leaders were in complete control shortly after the assassination and could do what they want at will.

    Yet they were so powerful that, according to people like Sandy Larsen, they allowed their patsy Lee Oswald to be photographed on the steps in front of the Texas School Book Depository during the assassination? And allowed evil CIA spy Ruth Paine to give interviews for the next 60 years?

    I take it then, you believe that the ~20 Parkland doctors and nurses who said they saw the gaping hole in the right-rear portion of Kennedy's head, were all wrong.

    They were wrong that it was in the "right rear" portion of the head, and have admitted as such. What they observed was a tangential wound on the right side of the head -- exactly what is seen in both the Zapruder film and autopsy photos.

  10. 34 minutes ago, Sandy Larsen said:

    Yes, of course the debate is over regarding, among other things, the massive hole in the right rear portion of Kennedy's head and the back-of-head autopsy photo forgery. It's just that we have a few ideological anti-alteration holdovers who will never change their minds.

    People who believe there was no massive alteration of the JFK medical evidence are hardly "holdovers." In fact, they are careful, scrupulous researchers who actually let the evidence dictate the findings, rather than swallowing the usual nonsense hook, line and sinker like so many people on this forum.

    I am assuming this is the Parkland doctors footage, only re-cut to be more sexy. I have mentioned this before, but I was at a Lancer conference where three of those interviewed in this film spoke, along with James Jenkins and William Newman. NOT ONE of them said the far back of the head was blown out or that the autopsy photos are fakes. In fact the four who said they got a look at the wound ALL said the wound was by the ear, where it is shown in the photos.

    Thank you for reminding people about this, Pat. I hope they keep it in mind as they watch several of these doctors embellish/change their stories for the benefit of TV.

    Gosh, I think this is about the first time I've seen someone reject doing research on a source making such spectacular claims.

    Unfortunately, an alarming number of regular posters on this forum treat the concept of research this way on a daily basis. There is no conspiracy theory too loony for folks here to accept at face value, and it makes the community at large look extremely foolish.

  13. 14 minutes ago, Sandy Larsen said:

    And these anti-alterationists seem to think that only a few researchers are alterationists. Oh really? I need to point out the fact that most researchers believe (for good reason) that Kennedy had a blowout wound on the back of his head.

    You are beyond wrong if you think this is what "most researchers believe." It speaks to your lack of understanding of who these researchers actually were and on what they based their conclusions.
