Whoever made the fake drawing on the left for presentation to Congress, probably never thought that the autopsy drawing on the right would be released. Note that the large hole in the skull is no where near where the drawing placed it.
John F. Kennedy autopsy – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
BTW – who is the one person who directly benefited politically from both JFK and RFK’s deaths? Hint. He is the 6’4″ person already ducked out of view in the right rear passenger seat of the third car before the shooting started.
He is also the person who created a fake military incident to get us into the Vietnam War.
h/t to Steve Milloy.
I have head shot a lot of stuff while hunting. I haven’t shot FMJ for head shots at all but I have shot highly frangible projectiles a lot. The video of JFK is a fair representation of something 6mm or under at high velocity with highly frangible projectiles shot from in front of the target. Bugger all to be found after as well.
Nice to see the the cooking of facts has a long tradition.
Time for a big clean up.
We still have the same crooks in power.
The last photo with the caption referencing a certain 6’4″ idividual brought to mind two conversations 12 years and 3,000 miles apart. One was with a second cousin who was a congressman’s chief of staff in the 1980’s, who knew congressional staffers who worked on the assasination hearings in the mid-70s. The other was with the father-in-law of a co-worker I met at a company picnic. He previously worked for the New Orleans PD in the 1950s and 1960s, including a stint as an investigator for Jim Garrison. Both of these people were very certain a future president was heavily involved.
That drawing was done by Ida Dox based on the autopsy X-Rays. I compared the two here:

I have the radiologists notes on the previous page:

The drawing is consistent with the autopsy photo you show. Entry in the cowlick. Bullet fragments. One or more puncture the skull near the coronal suture. The pieces of fractured parietal bone get blown out. This autopsy photo was taken after the pathologists removed the brain. If you look closely, you can see a bit of the the anterior margin of the large defect, but again, they may have had to enlarge it to get what was left of the brain out.
The day before JFK’s assassination I told my political Science class that News Week reported that JFK was staying on the LBJ ranch and that Kennedy and Johnson went deer hunting.
I remarked that remembering how badly LBJ wanted the 1960 Democrat Presidential nomination, if I was JFK I would not be anywhere in Texas or close to LBJ and him with a high powered rifle.
In the 1960s there was a parody of Shakespeare’s Macbeth written called “McByrd”. The Broadway or off Broadway version reads like a “Who’s Who” of Holly Weird leftist. Check it out.
At the end of the day all this is about as important as the AGW bull sh*t the alarmist feed their useful idiots because nothing is proven by it and nothing can be proven by it.
Do you mean Barbara Garson’s MacBird! with Stacey Keach as LBJ?

The red line here illustrates the trajectory from the sniper’s nest through the head:

That’s consistent with the Dox drawing and is consistent with the large defect as documented by the autopsy.
Dale Myers created a 3D model of Dealey plaza, JFK, and Connally. He discusses the head shot here, where the above images is from:

Johnson was slicker than a Clinton cigar. He was an absolute rat who would let nothing stand between him and power.
Then why did he not run for president again if he was so hungry for it?
Robert if you’re Canadian it’s perfectly understandable if you don’t know this, but he did run. He lost the New Hampshire primary! He fought like mad to get re-elected and only threw the towel in when it was utterly obvious that his party didn’t want him any more. There was whole “Kennedy affair”, you know … very unseemly….

Killing RFK wasn’t a good way to win support.
Thanks Richard. This makes for entertaining reading.

Talk about a face saving manuever.
Yeah Eric, ain’t that somethin’?
I’m guessing Bigfoot.
I never spent much time researching or looking at the pictures. It looks like something happens to him as he comes out from behind the sign. He leans forward and toward his wife wholeans toward him. The fellow in front of him is turning toward him also and then the big one hits blowing that big flap off the right side of his skull!!
There is a trace not quite straight up from his skull, possibly debris? Very narrow for brains though. Also possibly a bullet track?? The Grassy Knoll was where??
I had never run across this one before. The second video is very interesting.

The bullet fragmented on impact and the fragments took different trajectories.
Interesting, implies that the murder weapon was serviced and perhaps modified by a gunsmith.

Keep clicking at the 3:45 mark with your mouse and watch limo driver.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1q91RZko5Gw
It looks like at 3:43 he turns around, aims, looks forward again, quickly turns around again at 3:46 and shoots Kennedy at 3:47.
Ummm, yeah. There are two people moving around in the front seat and there are reflections from the sun as people/things move.
And it looks like the driver is facing forward when JFK is shot.
At 3:47 He turns his head to the right and there is a shiny horizontal object over his right shoulder, which is simultaneous with the blast.
It may be an optical illusion, but play it again and again starting from 3:43. It is uncanny.
At about the 1:15 to 1:18 mark, as JFK and Jackie are realizing he is shot he starts to look down at injury (might even be pointing it out to Jackie) and when he is shot he is looking down toward his knees trying to see the wound. Unless he was shot twice in the head a split second apart, hard to see how a bullet entering from the front would hit him anyplace but the top of his head but that would not make sense with the bullet hole near the back of his head.
He was shot twice
It was whilst Jackie was attending to his first shot (elbows raised) that the second shot happened; the one Steve is says came from the front.
I know that. If you read what I wrote it says he was looking down to see the wound. I was saying two head shots from two directions a split second apart AFTER the first wound. (I don’t believe this occurred).
I’m saying from the angles available with his head down and the obvious bullet hole in the back of his head (probably an entry hole), it’s hard to see how there could be a shot from the front into top of his head causing the shattered scalp and also give rise to the hole in the back of his head. Unless there were 2 head shots in addition to the obvious first shot in the back that exited his neck. That would be 3 total that hit him plus I think the first shot missed IIRC. I don’t believe there were 4 total shots, only the three.
For many years there were questions about the shot that exited his throat and how it
could have hit Connelly, etc. but I think those have been answered.
Bill, there were probably 7 shots based on the audio recording they found. 2 were 1/2 second apart guaranteeing more than 1 shooter.
We know at least 2 went into Kennedy. 3 impact points were apparently found on the street and curb. At least two struck Connely depending how far you wish to stretch plausibility and physics. Just the fact there were 2 rounds into Kennedy and 3 into the street shows that Oswald, or whomever was at that window, could not have been the only shooter as he allegedly only fired 3 rounds of which the cases were recovered.
Remember the Warren Commission tried to invoke a very shaky theory about the trajectory of the bullet in Kennedy’s back also making all the wounds to Connely to try and convince us only three rounds were fired.
There does not need to be an exit hole for the round from front. It probably hit Kennedy’s skull and fragmented causing the massive damage to the side. With his head down the round from the rear could easily have exited in the are also disturbed by a frontal round.
Bill,
I understand from what you’ve written from where you’re coming; I understand your preformed opinions. I have none. I have been thoroughly enjoying reading the arguments on both sides.
It does appear hat the driver illusion is a result of what you said–John Connally’s head is moving backward–that makes it look like a gun going over the driver’s shoulder at 3:47; I’m perfectly fine with it being an optical illusion and even stated it may be such. You see, I wasn’t selling a belief–but sharing what appeared very much to be like a driver turning around and shooting a gun. The optical illusion occurs simultaneously with the blast, just like I said. The illusion IS uncanny. Chalk one up for devil’s advocacy. 😉
Looking at it again–now that I have conceptualized the movement of Connally in the grainy, slow-motion vid–that uncanny illusion I once saw is no more. I find it fascinating–amazing how our brains fill in the blanks. 😀
Just because you started this, here is another theory:

Apparently it isn’t over.
How about the front throat wound is an entrance that was distorted in the pictures due to a tracheotomy having been performed through it!! No magic bullet.
7.62 Carcano is a 2000fps round and would probably have not exited at that distance with a back or shoulder entrance..

Detailed and worth watching.
