Sean Coleman Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Stumbled on this uncropped pic signed by Paul O’Connor with an interesting post-it note tagged to it, unsure of the signature. Is it interesting a different head rest was used, surely the chock block offers more support? Also the positioning of the steel band looks like it should be more just under the occipital proturbance? Or was there nothing there to support it? Or am I imagining things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or was there nothing there to support it? Or am I imagining things. The Paul O'Connor signature appears to be consistent with the signature on this letter to Vince Palamara. As to your question about what remained of the head to support it in the stirrup, according to all accounts, the left side of the back of the head was intact, so it is that side of the head that is flush with the stirrup in the left profile autopsy photograph. The right side of the back of the head was missing, and although it is apparent that the right profile autopsy photograph has been staged to obscure that fact, the right side of the head in that photograph does not appear to be flush against the stirrup as it does in the left profile autopsy photograph: DOUG HORNE TO WILLIAM LAW FROM AT THE COLD SHOULDER OF HISTORY When we look at the autopsy photos in the collection today, two-thirds of that collection, I would say, just about all of the images except the back of the head and the open cranium view that is out of focus, that is, in all the images where we see the Bethesda towel with the blue stripe, and the metal head rest or stirrup, holding the head of the president while his body is lying supine on the examination table - in those images we are looking at the results of the radical, illicit, clandestine, post mortem cranial surgery. That is why the head wound is so large - you are actually looking at the results of a modified craniotomy done to gain access to the brain so that forensic evidence (bullet fragments and brain tissue) could be removed. In all of these photos JFK's head is resting in a metal stirrup so that you can't see the back of his head in the photos. This was an intentional subterfuge, and it did not require any visual special effects. All these "head in the stirrup" photos, it is clear to me, were taken immediately after the conclusion of the clandestine post mortem cranial surgery, and before the beginning of the "public autopsy." This is why no one present at the "public autopsy" remembers seeing such a metal head brace. For example, neither of the two Navy enlisted autopsy technicians who assisted Humes and Boswell with the autopsy from 8:00 PM until 11:00 PM - Paul O'Connor and James Jenkins - neither of them ever recalled it being used that night at the autopsy (or at any other time, for that matter). It was apparently used only for a quick ten minute photo shoot when very few people were present in the morgue, and then quickly disassembled. The photos taken with JFK's head in the U-shaped head brace, with the pristine towel underneath the head brace, are a con job, meant to persuade the viewer that the enormous damage he is seeing in the images was caused "by the assassin's bullet." The pristine towels are meant to convey the impression that the President's body has just arrived and has not yet been touched by the pathologists. Similarly, the autopsy sketch of the top of the skull made by Boswell on the reverse side of the body diagram (Autopsy Descriptive Sheet) is also a con job, made during the "public autopsy" as he sketched the head trauma supposedly caused by the "assassin's bullet" for posterity. You will note that although Humes said he destroyed - burned - autopsy notes to prevent any documents with blood on them from becoming objects of morbid curiosity, he most certainly did NOT destroy Boswell's sketch of the "head wound," which had blood stains all over it. Of course not! Boswell's drawing had to survive to provide support for the official cover story. Edited August 16 by Keven Hofeling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denny Zartman Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 William Law's book "In The Eye Of History" has a DVD supplement where Paul O'Connor and Jim Jenkins (among others) discuss different autopsy photos. Unfortunately it seems this supplement is not available for viewing online, and I'm unable to figure out how to display photos here from outside hosts. Anyway, among other things, Jenkins & O'Connor pretty clear that the autopsy room did not have a metal stirrup attached to the table, as shown in the photo above.

A screenshot app would allow you to record footage and take screenshots, and you could post the footage on Youtube then post the YouTube videos. The screenshots you could post on a site such as Imgur (https://imgur.com/), and then post the links here without using any of your EdForum allotted memory space. I could walk you through it if you don't have experience doing those things... The key question is whether you are able to play the DVD on your computer in able to record the footage and screenshots. Windows has a good built in screenshot app, and there are many third party apps that can be downloaded.
