61. You should fact check yourself before blathering further.

Nov 2013

The HSCA agreed with the WCR about the single bullet. You do not get to pick and choose facts to suit your personal CT.

And both WCR and HSCA were a "bona-fide governmental investigative body." So you have no point there.

I'll ask again so you can blather some more: So what are the problems that you find with the WCR? Any specifics you'd like to discuss?

Did you see the Cold Case video? Are you going to watch it? Or, are you going to blather about meat bags some more and claim you know what truth is without the information in the Cold Case documentary?

You will have to show me where I claimed the WCR is absolute and called anyone who questioned it a screwball, otherwise, you are still blathering and attacking me with false accusations.

Also, show me where I completely dismissed all the findings of the HSCA.

Bullets can have a lot of power cpwm17 Nov 2013 #3

Fine, then they should have shown the test. tridim Nov 2013 #4

Great, now the folks that made this program are part of your great big conspiracy theory. cpwm17 Nov 2013 #7

No, I didn't. mattclearing Nov 2013 #257

Yes perfect. The Midway Rebel Nov 2013 #258

And it had to be pristine after its journey rusty fender Nov 2013 #65

They discussed the condition of the bullet and explained everything including the exact way it kestrel91316 Nov 2013 #82

Completely believable. The Midway Rebel Nov 2013 #16

Great, then they should have shown the test. tridim Nov 2013 #18

I never said your ribs were mostly water. I said your whole body is. The Midway Rebel Nov 2013 #20

We much have watched different shows because they showed all the bullet tests on the show I watched. kestrel91316 Nov 2013 #83

I've seen exactly that test performed on other TV shows that deal with stopbush Nov 2013 #40

That was an awesome show oswaldactedalone Nov 2013 #175

LOL, so you do not believe one bullet did it? Now that cracks me up! nt Logical Nov 2013 #42

Ever notice that no one who knows guns doubts that? NutmegYankee Nov 2013 #50

NOVA showed that the bullet was able to penetrate nearly three feet of wood block struggle4progress Nov 2013 #79

They completely explained Connelly's wounds. kestrel91316 Nov 2013 #81

Thanks for being open to the evidence n/t cpwm17 Nov 2013 #9

I found Nova's forensic explanation pretty compelling left is right Nov 2013 #29

I thought so too. The Midway Rebel Nov 2013 #33

It's not a "magic bullet" anyway. It is easy to see the trajectory of the bullet duffyduff Nov 2013 #55

The only way it could be a magic bullet Mr.Bill Nov 2013 #126

Exited the throat? Ace Acme Nov 2013 #135

The tracheotomy incision obliterated the exit wound. Mr.Bill Nov 2013 #138

How did a tracheotomy incision obliterate a big gaping exit wound? nt Ace Acme Nov 2013 #141

Who said it was a big gaping wound? Mr.Bill Nov 2013 #150

Oh, so the bullet only started to tumble after it exited the throat. Ace Acme Nov 2013 #152

That would be correct. Mr.Bill Nov 2013 #156

So what made the bullet start to tumble AFTER it left the body? Ace Acme Nov 2013 #159

Watch the show. I'm not going to type it's entire content for you. Mr.Bill Nov 2013 #161

Does the show say the bullet started to tumble after it exited the throat? Ace Acme Nov 2013 #162

You're being silly now. Mr.Bill Nov 2013 #163

The silliness is not mine. Do you think the necktie caused the bullet to spin? nt Ace Acme Nov 2013 #167

Have you seen the Cold Case documentary? The Midway Rebel Nov 2013 #181

If you really want to know, it had to do with the release of pressure through the exit wound. stopbush Nov 2013 #213

You really should go and watch the piece. This was not a regular bullet. It was an Italian one that OregonBlue Nov 2013 #187

The suspicion of multiple shooters does not rest on the magic bullet controversy nt Ace Acme Nov 2013 #190

Why don't you watch the show? cpwm17 Nov 2013 #196

How do you obscure an exit wound from a sideways bullet Ace Acme Nov 2013 #223

You've made some seventy comments on this thread concerning a NOVA program cpwm17 Nov 2013 #224

Why should I be afraid of a TV show? Ace Acme Nov 2013 #225

You should watch the show, Abe. zappaman Nov 2013 #227

A show recommended by irrational people is likely to be an irrational show. nt Ace Acme Nov 2013 #228

"irrational people" zappaman Nov 2013 #229

The kind who think "snork" and smilies makes an argument. nt Ace Acme Nov 2013 #231

LOL! zappaman Nov 2013 #232

Thanks for proving my point. nt Ace Acme Nov 2013 #234

You're most welcome, "Ace". zappaman Nov 2013 #235

Ditto here. kestrel91316 Nov 2013 #84

That Oswald may have been the only sharpshooter on that day does not mean that he "acted alone." JDPriestly Nov 2013 #112

What was Oswalds motive? Was he perhaps hired by someone? JaneyVee Nov 2013 #5

Quite simple. Archae Nov 2013 #6

Easier than that: Oswald was felt he was a loser and had delusions he wanted to be remembered duffyduff Nov 2013 #56

If that's all there is, then why are the files secret for 75 years? Ace Acme Nov 2013 #62

You realize that a lot of the records being kept secret stopbush Nov 2013 #94

You know what's in the secret files! You must be very well connected! Ace Acme Nov 2013 #96

And BOOM there it is. The Midway Rebel Nov 2013 #107

The Confirmation Biased think every click is a BOOM. Ace Acme Nov 2013 #110

So confirmation bias applies to everyone? The Midway Rebel Nov 2013 #115

If every correction is a personal attack, then no correction is permitted. Ace Acme Nov 2013 #118

I did point it out. The Midway Rebel Nov 2013 #120

I never denied the Zapruder film. Ace Acme Nov 2013 #121

It always amuses me when people talk through their hats, as you are doing now. stopbush Nov 2013 #114

What madness drives anyone to kill another human being, nyquil_man Nov 2013 #8

Oswald was a goofy character CANDO Nov 2013 #15

This explains more than the pure conjecture that he was hired. The Midway Rebel Nov 2013 #23

Great history lesson, but that does not prove anyone other than LHO fired the shots. The Midway Rebel Nov 2013 #17

Expecting proof before there's been a proper investigation is unreasonable. nt Ace Acme Nov 2013 #63

Don't tell me. The Midway Rebel Nov 2013 #66

The documents that will remain classified for another 25 years. nt Ace Acme Nov 2013 #70

Got a link? Something academic or peer reviewed? I always hear CTers talk about the secret files. The Midway Rebel Nov 2013 #74

Kudos to you for your wonderful post Samantha Nov 2013 #53

Yes, and scientists led the HSCA to the conclusion of conspiracy in the death of President Kennedy. avaistheone1 Nov 2013 #13

That evidence has been more recently been rebuked based on science too. The Midway Rebel Nov 2013 #19

An entry in wikipedia does not rebuke the HSCA findings. avaistheone1 Nov 2013 #21

I did not say it did. I said the science did. The Midway Rebel Nov 2013 #22

There are scientists who disagree with the scientists you quoted. avaistheone1 Nov 2013 #24

I am sure you will provide some links to those scientists who disagree with that evidence. The Midway Rebel Nov 2013 #25

Any scientist can conduct experiments and state their studies are best. avaistheone1 Nov 2013 #26

Yes ANY scientist can, but any scientist did not. The Midway Rebel Nov 2013 #28

This is the original study that Sabato himself bought and paid for - for his own book. avaistheone1 Nov 2013 #30

Says you. The Midway Rebel Nov 2013 #32

The Warren Commission was not privileged to deny science either meanit Nov 2013 #51

Perhaps you could point to the evidence ignored by the WCR. The Midway Rebel Nov 2013 #52

The flaws of the WCR are well known, such as the Magic Bullet theory for one, meanit Nov 2013 #59

You should fact check yourself before blathering further. The Midway Rebel Nov 2013 #61

I never mentioned if the HSCA did or didn't agree with the WCR about the single bullet. meanit Nov 2013 #75

So if I understand you correctly... The Midway Rebel Nov 2013 #77

All that "stands" is that they got it wrong. stopbush Nov 2013 #49

You're grasping at CT straws. stopbush Nov 2013 #31

The HSCA would need to reconvene to issue a statement accepting the rebuke. stopbush Nov 2013 #47

This recent study isn't Wikipedia. Bolo Boffin Nov 2013 #27

After a decade and a half of investigations into the crime, nyquil_man Nov 2013 #36

And there are scientists who say the world is 3000 years old. So what?? n-t Logical Nov 2013 #44

I think we're supposed to forget that ever happened, like the Saudi pages of the Joint Congressional yurbud Nov 2013 #216

I saw another one of these recently where they had a team in Australia KurtNYC Nov 2013 #34

None of those objects was anything like a human skull traveling a 11-12 mph away from the shooter. The Midway Rebel Nov 2013 #35

The motorcycle cop was sprayed too. The Midway Rebel Nov 2013 #58

I watched the program cpwm17 Nov 2013 #60

There's no snap forward. Frame 313 is blurred, Zapruder jumped. nt Ace Acme Nov 2013 #64

Evidence that Zapruder jumped is questionable. The Midway Rebel Nov 2013 #68

Frame 313 is smeared. You can see the difference between 312 and 313. Check the highlights. nt Ace Acme Nov 2013 #71

Smear schmear. The Midway Rebel Nov 2013 #86

You can see the highlights smeared for several inches in 313. nt Ace Acme Nov 2013 #88

What about that smear? The Midway Rebel Nov 2013 #91

The smear of the highlights in 313 is not present in the same highlights in 312. Ace Acme Nov 2013 #97

It's not your eyes, it's an animation on the internet. Ace Acme Nov 2013 #89

"it's an animation on the internet." zappaman Nov 2013 #93

Its not an animation. The Midway Rebel Nov 2013 #90

It's a 2-frame animation that is alleged to be from the Zapruder film. Ace Acme Nov 2013 #100

Good grief. The Midway Rebel Nov 2013 #102

Not cynicism--rigor. I happen to know how easy it would be to alter the images. Ace Acme Nov 2013 #105

More changing the subject I see. Ace Acme Nov 2013 #160

OK, I am willing to throw that out. The Midway Rebel Nov 2013 #165

No. I have no interest in the magic bullet. nt Ace Acme Nov 2013 #168

Or, forensic evidence that indicates there was no magic bullet. The Midway Rebel Nov 2013 #170

Oh there was no bullet that caused 7 wounds? Ace Acme Nov 2013 #172

Yes, there was a single bullet that caused seven wounds. No magic, only physics. The Midway Rebel Nov 2013 #186

There's an obvious snap forward Spider Jerusalem Nov 2013 #92

Do you always rely on anonymous internet posters as expert witnesses? nt Ace Acme Nov 2013 #101

No, I'm relying on the obvious evidence right before my eyes. Spider Jerusalem Nov 2013 #104

The names of US agents and informants in places like Cuba, for one thing. Spider Jerusalem Nov 2013 #119

Do you think those names were given to the Warren Commission? Ace Acme Nov 2013 #123

Your blatant denial of the forensic evidence suggests you have a conspiracy theory. The Midway Rebel Nov 2013 #122

It's not a conspiracy to hide evidence from the public for 75 years? Ace Acme Nov 2013 #124

No, it's not. Spider Jerusalem Nov 2013 #129

What is sensitive about the assassination if a lone nut did it? Ace Acme Nov 2013 #130

The names of US agents and informants in Cuba, Russia, et cetera are sensitive, clearly Spider Jerusalem Nov 2013 #131

Those names were surely redacted before the Commission even got the document. Ace Acme Nov 2013 #134

Independent analysis, for one: Spider Jerusalem Nov 2013 #140

So you're claiming a 1976 study authenticated the Belgian website? Ace Acme Nov 2013 #142

It authenticated the information presented. Spider Jerusalem Nov 2013 #143

I guess you didn't get the memo. Josiah Thompson says he was wrong. Ace Acme Nov 2013 #146

Itek isn't anonymous Spider Jerusalem Nov 2013 #239

You are, and Thompson appears to repudiate Itek. Try providing a Ace Acme Nov 2013 #246

Thompson has no credentials or expertise in forensics or photo analysis. Spider Jerusalem Nov 2013 #248

Thompson is an expert on the assassination with a reputation to uphold. Ace Acme Nov 2013 #250
