And, yes, I disparage the findings of the HSCA for the simple fact that their conclusion that a 4th shot was fired was based entirely, ENTIRELY on their belief that the dictabelt tape captured the sound of a 4th shot. That evidence was vigorously challenged at the time by the FBI and the National Science Institute, among others.
That "evidence" has since been falsified conclusively, by proving that motorcycle officer HB MCClain was NOT in a position to record the sound of any 4th gunshot, a position that one of the scientists (Weiss) presenting the "4th shot evidence" insisted McClain had to be in to record the shot. When the HSCA asked Weiss about the location of the motorcycle with the open microphone"Would you consider that to be an essential ingredient in the ultimate conclusion of your analysis?"Weiss answered, "It is an essential component of it, because, if you do not put the motorcycle in the place that it is [at]the initial point of where it was receiving the [sound of the gunfire], and if you do not move it at the velocity at which it is being moved on paper in this re-creation, you do not get a good, tight pattern that compares very well with the observed impulses on the police tape recording."
That evidence that falsifies the 4th shot theory exists in the form of video tapes shot from many angles and by many different people who were in Dealey Plaza that day. In fact, McClain testified to the HSCA that he was not in the position that the "4th shot scientists" said he was in to be able to record the sound of a 4th shot, which had to have been 120 to 130 feet behind JFK's limo. The HSCA chose to not believe his sworn testimony.
But the video evidence proves that McClain was exactly where he said he was when the sound of that 4th shot was supposedly captured on the dictabelt tape, and that was 250 feet behind JFK's limo, just as he testified to the HSCA. Ergo, it was impossible for the open mic on McClain's motorcycle to record the sound of a 4th shot being fired.
Theory falsified, conclusively. Based on the very parameters set up by the scientists making the claim for a 4th shot.
BTW - the HSCA did agree with the Warren Commission that Oswald fired three shots and that two of the shots fired were the shots that killed JFK.
You've got to get with it, MadHound. You're dealing with outdated and laughable CT "information."
