Maggie's Farm

Count me as one of those who doesn't believe Oswald acted alone. In fact I am leaning towards the conclusion that he was a patsy. There are so many things that the government, Warren commission, the Secret Service, the FBI and the police lied about or hid from the light. The ONLY thing I can say in their defense of obvious lies and cover ups is that they probably did it to prevent this from being blamed on Russia or Cuba thus causing a war. But a cover up there was. Even the doctor who declared that Kennedy was shot in the head from the front was strong armed into changing his official transcript. The FBI and the Warren Commission tried to reproduce the actual shooting ascribed to Oswald and were unable to. There were at least five shots one of which came from the front and possibly two from a building opposite the Book depository. There were bullets found which defied forensic logic and evidence that the bullets found were not the bullets that killed Kennedy. The list of inconsistencies, intentional misinterpretations of evidence and omitted facts is long.

Why then would the Warren Commission, the secret service, the FBI, and the local police lie and coverup so much? Why did Ruby kill Oswald before he could talk? How did Oswald shoot Kennedy from the 5th floor of the boo depository but the kill shot was from the front? Why did at least two of the shot come from the roof of a building across the street from the book depository? Why were three men disguised as tramps who were arrested by police near the grassy knoll let go under suspicious circumstances but later wrote a book about being hired to kill Kennedy that day? Why if the three bullets Oswald fired were copper encased was lead left in governor connally. Why was it necessary to fabricate the magic bullet theory to explain the unexplainable? Why is there a picture taken at the moment of the shooting showing Oswald and others outside the ground floor entrance to the book depository? Why can't marksman and other experts duplicate Oswald's shooting (they either can't shoot the rifle as quickly as he did or if they do shot it that fast they can't hit the targets)? Why is there forensic evidence of at least 5 bullets fired that day? Why was the attending physician in Dallas strong armed into changing his testimony about the entrance and exit wounds? Why was the official autopsy fabricated to cover up the actual entrance and exit wounds? The list goes on and on. So if it was a simple one person shooting why the coverup?

4.92 seconds. Was 4.92 seconds (90 frames of the Zapruder film) enough time for Oswald to absorb the recoil of his first shot, reload his bolt-action Manlicher-Carcano rifle, pull the telescopic sight back to take aim for a second shot, shoot lightly high and off target to the life, sending the second bullet toward the triple underpass, then reload again and be deadly accurate from 90 yards away with the third rifle shot? That rifle is a piece of shit. It is hard to work the bolt and heavy and awkward to re-sight quickly through a scope.
A bullet did hit the metal on the top of the windshield but you do remember Oswald was on the 6th floor. The bullet would have gone into the floorboards. In fact there was a bullet hole in the floorboards; one of the 5 bullets accounted for in the shooting.
Where did the bullet exit Kennedy's head?
KEMP CLARK, MD: Professor and Director of Neurological Surgery at Parkland,

"...in the occipital region of the skull... Through the head wound, blood and brain were extruding... There was a large wound in the right occipitoparietal region, from which profuse bleeding was occurring... There was considerable loss of scalp and bone tissue. Both cerebral and cerebellar tissue were extruding from the wound."
NURSE DIANA HAMILTON BOWRON: "...there was blood all over this neck and shoulders. There was a gaping wound in the back of his head."
CHARLES JAMES CARRICO, MD: "The (skull) wound that I saw was a large gaping wound, located in the right occipitoparietal area. I would estimate to be about 5 to 7 cm. in size, more or less circular, with avulsions of the calvarium and scalp tissue.
CHARLES RUFUS BAXTER, MD: "...the right temporal and occipital bones were missing (emphasis added) and the brain was lying on the table..."
GENE AIKIN, MD: "The back of the right occipitalparietal portion of his head was shattered with brain substance extruding."
Dr. Robert McClelland also described this flap, but every one of these witnesses, and more, insists that it was hanging downward, hinged at the top to the left."
CHARLES CRENSHAW, MD: It extended from the approximate center of the skull in the back to just behind the right ear, utilizing a left to right orientation and from a position a couple of inches above the right ear to the approximate middle of the right ear utilizing a top to bottom orientation."
RICHARD BROOKS DULANEY, MD:" The wound was on the back of his head. On the back side" They lifted up the head and "the whole back-side was gone."
ROBERT GROSSMAN, MD:"He (Grossman) said that he saw two large holes in the head, as he told the (Boston) Globe, and he described a large hole squarely in the occiput, far too large for a bullet entry wound..."
PAT HUTTON, RN : "Mr. Kennedy was bleeding profusely from a wound in the back of his head, and was lying there unresponsive." (Price Exhibit V21 H 216). While helping with resuscitation efforts a physician asked her to apply a pressure dressing to the head wound, she observed, however, that, "This was no use, however, because of the massive opening in the back of the head."
MARION THOMAS JENKINS, MD: "a great laceration on the right side of the head (temporal and occipital) (sic), causing a great defect in the skull plate so that there was herniation and laceration of great areas of the brain, even to the extent that the cerebellum had protruded from the wound"
ROBERT McCLELLAND, MD: "...I could very closely examine the head wound, and I noted that the right posterior portion of the skull had been extremely blasted. It had been shattered...so that the parietal bone was protruded up through the scalp and seemed to be fractured almost along its right posterior half, as well as some of the occipital bone being fractured in its lateral half, and this sprung open the bones that I mentioned in such a way that you could actually look down into the skull cavity itself and see that probably a third or so, at least, of the brain tissue, posterior cerebral tissue and some of the cerebellar tissue had been blasted out...."

From that railroad yard you said nothing happened. Thanks to Lee Bowers, an alert railroad employee with an unobstructed view of Dealey Plaza during the JFK assassination, three men fleeing the scene and hiding in a boxcar in the train yards were picked up.
Three tramps were clearly under arrest. They were taken to the Sheriff's office and questioned. But the arrest records — if there were any arrest records — had disappeared. Nobody knew whether they existed, or where they were. Nobody could find them. Bowers would later testify that he heard three shots, one coming from the grassy knoll and two from the mouth of the triple underpass. Two of these men were later identified by forger for the Lansky Syndicate, confessed as he was dying from cancer that they were a CIA agent Charles Rogers and CIA asset Charles Harrelson

The official autopsy photos were a coverup as evidenced by the testimony of numerous doctors and nurses at Parkland hospital.

The Parkland doctors were all threatened by the FBI and forced to change their testimony.

As the doctors all agreed the back of the skull was clearly the exit wound.

Forensic scientists have said that the military bullet used would not have made the splayed exit type wound in it's entry.

Interesting that so much brain matter was blasted backwards onto the trunk.

Yu are spinning about the tramps. They weren't given the paraffin test and all evidence of their arrest or custody was erased. Since one of them was CIA and another was a CIA operative that isn't suprising.

To believe he did not have to reaquire the target shows you have never fired a high power bolt action rifle with a scope.

Before the bullet hit Kennedy's head his brain and skull were moving the same speed as the limousine. Why would you think that they would then assume zero momentum and fall on the trunk of the limousine as it passed under them?

Again, you have obviously never fired a high powered rifle. It does not "remain on target". Additionally working the bolt action, especially on this clunky gun, forces you to take your eye away from the scope and actually moves the rifle.
