Don Roberdeau Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 It is truly amazing how we have the "bunched up" theory to explain the inconvenient location of bullet holes, the "magic bullet" theory to explain the total lack of damage on a missile that supposedly caused 7 wounds and the "neuromuscular jet effect" to explain the head shot's violation of the laws of physics. Yet the conspiracy theorists are the "wackos."JFK was one of the most immaculately dressed politicians of modern times. His expensive clothes were personally tailored to fit his frame perfectly. It's an insult to the intelligence to think that he'd wear something in public that fit so poorly it could ride up 5-6 inches from his waving motion to the crowd. I guess that Dr. Boswell's mind was "bunched up" when he placed the back wound in the exact same spot as the holes in JFK's clothes on his original autopsy face sheet and Dr. Burkley's mind was also "bunched up" when he described the rear back wound as being in the exact same spot. That was some "bunching up!" Good Day Don.... and the warrenatti-posnerian "magic-limbed-ricochet-tree" .... NOT Best Regards in Research.

John Simkin Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Message from Gary Mack: Reuters writer Ed Stoddard wondered how and why the Jefferies film might be studied by conspiracy "buffs," so I told him that some conspiracy "researchers" would look at how Kennedy's coat was bunched and whether that helped explain one of his wounds. I used the term "bunched" because that is the term most researchers have used over the years. Stoddard's paragraph is an accurate account, in my opinion. Here it is: "The president's coat is clearly if briefly seen bunched up on his back -- a detail that will be scrutinized by conspiracy theorists who see evidence of a plot in, among other things, the fact the bullet wounds on his jacket and body did not appear to match."

In 1964, the official USG investigation of the assassination concludes that, based upon the available medical, eyewitness, earwitness, photographic, ballistic, and other forensic evidence, JFK was the victim of a conspiracy, likely domestic in origin. Imagine ... At the same time, a small, vocal, impassioned group of self-styled "critics" appears and argues that one man -- LHO -- without assistance of any form or fashion, did it all. Their conclusion rests upon a theory that a single bullet caused seven separate wounds to the president and the Texas governor, a characterization of LHO as a "troubled loner" and "marksman" with "Communist leanings," and all the rest of the nutter nonsense. How long would these critics' arguments have lasted in the public consciousness? How soon would they have been laughed off the planet?

Jack White Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Hmmmmmmmm? OP-ED CONTRIBUTOR Single Bullet, Single Gunman By GERALD POSNER A never-before-seen home movie showing President John F. Kennedy's motorcade just before his assassination definitively resolves one of the case's enduring controversies. http://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/21/opinion/...l?th&emc=th February 21, 2007 Op-Ed Contributor Single Bullet, Single Gunman By GERALD POSNER THE ability to use advanced forensics and minuscule traces of DNA to solve crimes, even cold cases decades old, has turned many Americans into armchair sleuths seeking to “solve” the unexpected deaths of people like Princess Diana and Anna Nicole Smith. But sometimes, old-fashioned evidence is as useful in solving puzzles as anything under a nuclear microscope. Last weekend, a never-before-seen home movie was made public showing President John F. Kennedy’s motorcade just before his assassination. An amateur photographer, George Jefferies, took the footage and held onto it for more than 40 years before casually mentioning it to his son-in-law, who persuaded him to donate it to the Sixth Floor Museum in Dallas. The silent 8-millimeter color film was of interest to most people simply because it showed perhaps the clearest close-up of Jacqueline Kennedy taken that morning. But to assassination researchers, the footage definitively resolves one of the case’s enduring controversies: that the bullet wound on Kennedy’s back, as documented and photographed during the autopsy, did not match up with the location of the bullet hole on the back of his suit jacket and shirt. The discrepancy has given conspiracy theorists fodder to argue that the autopsy photos had been retouched and the report fabricated. This is more than an academic debate among ballistics buffs. It is critical because if the bullet did enter where shown on the autopsy photos, the trajectory lines up correctly for the famous “single bullet” theory ? the Warren Commission hypothesis that one bullet inflicted wounds to both Kennedy and Gov. John Connally of Texas. However, if the hole in the clothing was the accurate mark of where the bullet entered, it would have been too low for a single bullet to have inflicted all the wounds, and would provide evidence of a second assassin. For years, those of us who concluded that the single-bullet theory was sound, still had to speculate that Kennedy’s suit had bunched up during the ride, causing the hole to be lower in the fabric than one would expect. Because the holes in the shirt and jacket align perfectly, if the jacket was elevated when the shot struck, the shirt also had to have been raised. Some previously published photos taken at the pivotal moment showed Kennedy’s jacket slightly pushed up, but nothing was definitive. Meanwhile, conspiracy theorists have done everything to disprove that the jacket was bunched. Some used grainy photos or film clips to measure minute distances between Kennedy’s hairline and his shirt, what they dubbed the “hair-to-in-shoot distance.” The new film has finally resolved the issue. At the end of the clip, as the camera focuses on the backs of the president and first lady, Kennedy’s suit is significantly bunched up, with several layers creased together. Only 90 seconds before Lee Harvey Oswald fired the first shot, Kennedy’s suit jacket was precisely in the position to misrepresent the bullet’s entry point. While the film solves one mystery, it leaves another open: estimates are that at least 150,000 people lined the Dallas motorcade route that fateful day, so there must be many other films and photographs out there that have never come to light. Those who have them should bear in mind that even the most innocuous-seeming artifacts, like the Jefferies tape, can sometimes put enduring controversies to rest. As Gary Mack, the curator of the Sixth Floor Museum said the other day, “The bottom line is, don’t throw anything away.” Gerald Posner is the author of “Case Closed: Lee Harvey Oswald and the Assassination of J.F.K.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NY Times--all the propaganda that fits they print. The paper of record for the CIA. Poser sure was ready with that piece of... "Op-Ed. But there is no doubt much more to come as always from our fine feathered mockingbird friends. However I think in the days leading up to May 29 there will be an especially high number of bird droppings. Note the framing in the opening paragraph: "cold cases decades old, has turned many Americans into armchair sleuths seeking to “solve” the unexpected deaths of people like Princess Diana and Anna Nicole Smith." So JFK assassination researchers are lumped in with readers of trashy tabloids obsessing on Anna Nicole Smith. And they sneer at researchers into Princess Diana's murcer while they're at it. That blurb has it all; it's pithy and mocking. Hmmm, mocking, bird--are those CIAers clever or what? Frank Luntz, would be proud. Frank Luntz may be the ghost-writer... (Oh John, I need to check and see of Luntz is included in your propaganda page. If not, I think he should be.) "Single Bullet, Single Gunman." "definitively resolves" "The new film has finally resolved the issue." "Lee Harvey Oswald fired the first shot" "Kennedy’s suit is significantly bunched up, with several layers creased together." "Lee Harvey Oswald fired the first shot," "Kennedy’s suit jacket was precisely in the position to misrepresent the bullet’s entry point." "the film solves one mystery" CASE CLOSED!!!!!!!!!!!! Nothing to see here move along. (Oh, and if anyone finds more evidence, by all means turn it over to Gary Mack so that he can, you know, take care of it.)

Jack White Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 This immediately raises the question of "what agency" "handled" the new film before it was made public, and was the "jacket bunched up" in the original and what did Posner know and when did he know it?

The CIA Lullaby (Ahem) HUSH little babies, dont say a word Poppy’s gonna buy you a mockingbird And when that mockingbird does sing Poppy’s gonna buy it diamond ring But if the bird song just don’t fly Poppy’s gonna try with another lie So when that President gets killed Luce is gonna publish Z-flam stills The film will frame a Harvey goat So you’ll believe what Warren wrote But if you tend to disbelieve There are more writers to deceive Tho’ when the HSCA’s born The party line will be transformed If congress shows conspiracy Then we’ll need a new patsy The mafia will fill the bill ‘Cause we all know they’re born to kill Ignore the fact they work for us That’s not a point we want to stress If “mob dunnit” seems absurd Poppy’s gonna send more mockingbirds They’ll fly full circle to proclaim The Oswald tale still fits the frame Then when that bird flock drops its load You should think the Case is Closed And if you really buy that bull Then you’ll be the dumbest little babes in the world (Thank you; thank you very much.)
