This is my first post but its on a topic , in fact topics, I feel strongly about after spending way too long in complex conspiracy theories. 

 Firstly one must understand two things .

 1- People forget and make slight mistakes leading to inconsistency 

 2- Mutual Exclusivity. If I ever get round to writing my JFK book that will be its title. 

 It is not mutually exclusive for JFK to have a massive exit wound at the back of the head and the autopsy photos be not faked. Quite simply the doctor is pulling the scalp tight across the region that is blown out. Much of the skull fragments are still attached to the scalp although obviously there was at least one that didn't remain attached. The independent specialists  who examined the skull posthumously all agreed that two bullets had caused the damage, from different directions. 

 in addition the Zapruda film is not inconsistent with this as many claim. The zapruda film shows him getting pushed forward initially by a bullet entering high on the rear of the head, just where the bullet hole is. He is then thrown back and Jackie jumps into action trying to retrieve something from the back of the limo. This is discussed best by Robert Harris in his YT presentation ' Murder in Dealey Plaza'. The massive deformity we see in the Zapruda film is the flap of bone by the right ear and the laceration of the scalp behind the right eye, back to the bone flap creating a gory red mess. 

 IN addition we have Pat Speers excellent work of objective analysis which shows that every single witness in the immediate vicinity describes the right side of the head exploding, and not backwards. The only immediately incongruous evidence on this subject is in fact the photo at the autopsy showing Boswell pulling the scalp tight at the back of the head, across the gaping wound, which they clearly weren't trying to hide as it is in all other photos it is present and Boswell describes pulling the scalp tight himself. 

 All of the evidence, when really analysed shows the following .... A headshot from the rear entering fairly high on the right side of the head, possibly fracturing that area of the skull but certainly causing no real damage. This exited around where the flap of bone was and lacerated the scalp longitudinally  causing the gory mess in the zapruda film. Momentarily after was a shot from the front ( all witnesses described two very close shots) which threw him back, sent Jackie looking for bits on the limo ( Jackie was not looking for bits of head initially)  and caused the massive hole in the rear of the SKULL ( not necessarily HEAD). The second shot of course didn't help the situation of the damage caused by the first shot. 

 The only cover up here is that the laceration to the front right area was stitched or glued back in place, PERHAPS to cover up the front entry wound, or even possibly simply to tidy things up a little. Its not particularly important since all of the evidence and witnesses are consistent. By this I mean not mutually exclusive. You can have the Zapruda film and witnesses describing a huge blow out in the front right part of the head AND, simultaneously a massive hole to the back of the skull, AND have the autopsy photo where the scalp is pulled tight across the hole ( Jackie confirmed that there was a large flap of scalp when she described the white bone and grooving to that bone, which could only be the inside of a flap of scalp). 

 I spent too long looking into conspiracy theories about alteration to the skull and body to let others waste their time doing the same. There was probably an attempt to cover up the front entry wound by reattaching the scalp there but otherwise the evidence is 100% consistent. 

Well you left out some stuff. How about starting with the  report by agents stating it looked like some surgical procedure happened to the head prior to arriving at Bethesda which coincidently is something Jenkins recently noted though as to his observations on the brain. And how do you admit there was an attempt to cover up the front entry but claim the evidence is100?  Any alteration renders it questionable.

The fact that two men were shot on the afternoon of 22nd November, and they bore an eerie similarity to each other can't be a coincidence.

Tippit looked nothing like Kennedy. Not even close. Why anyone thinks they were practically twins is a mystery to me.

That is nor her real  name.

The HSCA gave her an alias.   They knew too many people would be after her.

I don't know her real name.
