>nor was it a "frangible" bullet.

How can you be so sure? Can you tell from pictures and film of the shot? How would a frangible bullet differ from what we've seen?

Thanks.

By a complete and thorough examination of the known/remaining fragments which were found inside the Presidential Limo.

Thereafter, if one takes the time to evaluate the mechanics of how this bullet became deformed and cut up into it's various pieces, it begins to answer many of the questions that continue to be asked.

Do bullets which strike the head, under normal conditions, fragment such as this?-----Absolutely not!

However, the tangential strike across the top of the head was not a "normal strike", and the exit most assuredly was not normal.

There are those who claim some expertise in this matter, who will state that they can look at the autopsy X-Rays of JFK's head and thereafter determine such garbage as "mercury bullets" having been utilized.

1. Rest assured that one CAN NOT look at an X-ray and determine the physical composition of that material found within, which create the opaque/white areas within the X-ray.

2. The autopsy surgeons, in front of all of those other persons present, found/located/and removed fragments of lead from the brain of JFK.

So, unless one is susceptable to believe body kidnappings and giant conspiracies which encompass dozens of persons from different agencies, then one must accept the given fact that lead fragments were removed from the head/brain of JFK during the autopsy.

Well, whereas I'm not "susceptable" to the lone nut theory or the magic bullet theory, I am susceptable to logic. And given that President Kennedy's wounds at Bethesda were dramatically different from the wounds described by doctors in Parkland, it seems clear that his body was...susceptable to post-mortem alteration.

For example, a scalpal was obviously used to cut a triangle near his forhead, presumably to hide the entrance wound in that area, since it was on the opposite side from the designated patsy.

Given the clear post-mortem surgery, and the fact that many have said that the x-rays could not have been JFK's, I don't know how valid an autopsy at Bethesda could be.

I understand what you're saying about the inability to detect mercury in an x-ray. It would have been preferable if the use of mercury bullets could have been confirmed or debunked by exhuming JFK's body. Though Joe West tried to do exactly that and died a mysterious death shortly after winning a court order to exhume. The tendency for investigators to die right as they're collecting evidence has made it hard to collect evidence.

3. The distribution of lead fragments throughout the brain of JFK indicates an ever increasing amount of particle distribution, from the rear----forward.

4. Examination of a piece of bone from the frontal lobe area demonstrated the "beveling" as well as the embedded metal residue where the projectile began it's exit from the skull, as it passed from rear to forward.

5. The remains of the fragmented bullet were immediately found within the Presidential Limousine, therefore, and again, unless one believes in all of this "conspiracy" network that those who were behind it had the foresight as well as capability to plant evidence into the Presidential Limousine, then one must accept that the portions of the WCC 6.5mm Carcano bullet that were found in the frontal area of the Presidential Limousine, came from the fragmented bullet which struck him in the head, striking from the rear.

6. Although there are ITALIAN 6.5mm Carcano rounds which contained soft-nose tips, WCC, as far as is known, produced absolutely no such ammunition.

7. Due to the nose portion of the copper jacket to the bullet (which struck at Z313) being missing, it is impossible to determine if some prior "slicing" to the copper jacket aided in this bullet's rapid deformation upon impact & exit from the skull.

However, based on the manner in which the lead core of the bullet nose began to split, with some very definitive straight tears along three almost equal divisions, it would be extremely unusual for this to occur without some prior weakening of the supporting copper jacket.

Which happens to be fully indicative of a "three-way" equal slice along the copper jacket of the bullet nose.

Those of us who are familiar with the means to avoid the intent of the rules regarding FMJ bullets in warfare, soon found the advantage of "slicing" the copper jacket at the nose of the bullet. And although most of us "X'ed" the nose, there is little to prevent one from performing a three-way slice as well.

I would also state that there are other photo's of CE567 which more clearly demonstrate the three divisions of the lead core of the bullet nose, and which more clearly demonstrate this anomaly.

Just can not locate where my photo's are "lost" at right now.

Do you think it's possible that two bullets collided in the President's head? If two bullets collided would they explode and cause the kind of head damage we've seen in photos and the Zapruder film?

Thanks.

With all due respect!

I consider it a complete waste of time to debate forensic; ballistic; pathological; and physical fact with someone who has apparantly studied none of the subject matter, has never discussed the subject matter with known and recognized experts, and is lost in the rabbit hole labeled "Body Kidnapping & wound alteration".
