A projectile could have entered the EOP and traveled under the cerebellum, hitting the base of the skull.
The forensic, visual, and ballistic evidence says this didn't happen.
A projectile could have entered the EOP and traveled under the cerebellum, hitting the base of the skull.
I've said this before: If you're smart enough to distort quotes like that, you're smart enough to know what Dr. Burkley was really always saying in plain English: 1. He suspected or believed that there was more than one gunshot to Kennedy's head. 2. He noted that the brain was not properly sectioned. 3. He said that if the brain had been properly sectioned, the mystery of one or more gunshots to the head could be resolved.
If you want to suggest a way that a bullet could've entered near the EOP and exited the top-right side of the head, be my guest.
If you insist that the official fragments had to be a match to the rifle in evidence, then that does not discount a conspiracy.
If it was not planted
one could say the fragments are legit and still successfully argue conspiracy.
The fact that particles of human skin was identified on one of the fragments is alone evidence that this projectile could have struck the top of the head tangentially.
At that time, it was not widely known how the Warren Commission-endorsed EOP wound causes some huge problems for the official story.
Doesn't it bother you that by your agenda, the autopsy doctors were pushing evidence for conspiracy?
This is regardless of whether or not they claimed to believe the head wounds were caused by a single shot from behind.
The fact that their public position was a single shot from behind can not be used as evidence that the entry wound was really higher than they always insisted.
Kennedy would not have instantly died or rendered unconscious if a shot entered near the EOP and traveled under the cerebellum. He would have lost motor function, though. Which is consistent with his body language at z190-224+
While Kennedy appears to be trying to point to his throat after z224, his hands also move almost in front of his face, as if his motor skills were inhibited.
You do not accept the EOP entry wound location, so your comment is meaningless unless you do.
The official X-rays, at least according to the best information we have, do not show any metal fragments in the occipital area like we would expect from a shot entering the EOP and exiting the top of the head.

I really don't care where the bullet entered the head. I know where it was fired from. All of the evidence backs me up (something I refused to accept when I was a CT loon).
Official x-rays of which you have only see two.
You remain clueless to the capabilities of the 6.5x52mm round, and you have yet to rule it out...which you won't because you can't.
Apparently Axxman300 doesn't know that the HSCA report published a few X-rays showing JFK's teeth and jaw area.

MJ, I'm beginning to think you are nothing but a troll.
A troll under the bridge asks three questions before you must pass. If you want to pass the bridge into lonenutterdom, you must answer the questions about the EOP location of the entry wound as described by the autopsy report and everybody who was present at the autopsy. Hint: you can't.
We did and that is 1 question.A troll under the bridge asks three questions before you must pass.

That's usually the case with questions predicated on a false premise.

I don't recall that there ever was a citation where any of the doctors participating in the autopsy indicated that they disagreed with the autopsy.
And now cite such thoughts. Hint: you can't.
The autopsy doctors always said that the entry wound was low in the head by the EOP. That corroborates the autopsy report. They disagreed with any higher placement of that wound.
Dr. John Lattimer -- believe it or not, a person with an actual medical degree, unlike yourself -- discovered the cause and gave credit where it was due. It's called the 'Thorburn Position' and it was first noted by an English doctor (Thorburn) in patients suffering damage to the neck vertebra. It has nothing to do with damage to the brain.

What? Nobody believes in the Thorburn position anymore. That's a rare occurrence which takes place over several hours. Kennedy appears to be reaching for his throat, but can't quite place his hands in the precise area. Inhibited motor skills.
And then went where? And why didn't the pathologists with the body in front of them note any of this damage you conjecture 'could have happened'? And what happened to this bullet and why wasn't it found in the body or the car?
Your theories pretend to answer some questions, but they raise more questions than they answer.
And you know that. It's been pointed out to you frequently.
Yet you persist in pushing the nonsense.

It's not whether we could see it in the Zapruder film. It's whether the gunman known to be on the sixth floor, southeastern corner window of the Depository could see it. And he could.
You're great at responding to points not made. Not so good at rebutting those points that are actually made. Those you pretty much ignore. What you're doing is called attacking a strawman argument. Look it up and don't do it again.
I'd love for you to cite some known examples of people being shot in the back of the head in wartime with a Mannlicher Carcano 6.5 round and still be functional enough to point to their throat.
Got anything along those lines?
Of course not.

You have yet to provide a link to the general public having access to any experimental ammunition.My comment was meant to explain the lack of severe damage to the cerebellum, not explain where the projectile went after that. You should have already comprehended the EOP problems by now, but I will outline them again.
If we assume that the autopsy evidence is true and accurate, i.e. photographs and X-rays are not faked, then there are only three real options: 1. high-tech ammunition which will leave virtually no trace of itself upon examination (I'm not even sure if this existed in the early 60's, but i'm not trusting a lone nutter for the answer),
2. the projectile or fragments were surgically removed from the base of the head before the X-rays were taken (perhaps suggested by the "bullet lodged behind the president's ear" memo), or 3. It entered neat the EOP, deflected sharply downwards and exited the throat.
Does this preclude one entry slightly above and right of the EOP? If you answer, then please provide your medical degree(s) and post your experience with GSWs to the head.Dr. Humes told the ARRB in 1996 that there were fractures in the posterior cranial fossa, so far I'm not sure if any other autopsy doctor made a specific reference to the base of the skull being fractured.
One autopsy witness, Tom Robinson also told the ARRB in 1996 that "there were fractures all over the cranium, including the floor of the skull". Perhaps these are the "complete" fractures noted in the autopsy report as radiating from the entry wound as well as the large defect.
This would be in a situation with more than two gunshots causing all injuries to Kennedy and Connally. Why are you referring to a rifle which was supposed to be found with only three spent shells, one a hypothetical miss at best and at worst an obvious plant because of the dented lip? The EOP shot was most likely a different weapon. Certainly not from a high-powered rifle unless it was fired in the z313+ time zone.

Why bring up the limousine as if the evidence covered from there is settled? It's already a piece of evidence known for have being neglected from proper examination.

You have yet to reconcile your pet theory with the position of the head at the time of impact, and how a lower entry point definitively rules out a shot from the 6th floor, because every other human who have seen this footage sees JFK's head bent forward exposing the external occipital protuberance. How do you not see this?
You can not see Kennedy's EOP area on the Zapruder film. The EOP shot could've happened as early as when the limousine appeared behind the sign. The disoriented body language of Kennedy could indicate some minor damage to his cerebellum.
It's not whether we could see it in the Zapruder film. It's whether the gunman known to be on the sixth floor, southeastern corner window of the Depository could see it. And he could.

Would the dent on the mouth of CE 543, one of the three expended cartridge cases found on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository, prevent the bullet from being fired in the CE 139 Mannlicher-Careano rifle, or any other rifle? Can it be determined whether these cartridge cases had been chambered on more than one occasion?
(155) Figure 8B shows a dent on the mouth of the CE 543 cartridge case which Josiah Thompson, a critic of the Warren Commission, said would prevent CE 543 from being fired in any rifle.(79)
(156) It is the opinion of the panel that the dent on the mouth of the CE 543 cartridge case was produced when the cartridge case was ejected from the rifle. This condition was duplicated during test-firing of the CE 139 rifle by the panel. (See fig. 2.) The dent had nothing to do with loading the bullet during the manufacturing process, nor is it the type of deformation expected if the case were stepped on.
(157) There was no evidence in the form of multiple extractor or ejector marks on the cartridge case to indicate that it was chambered in the rifle more than once. This also applies to cartridge cases CE 544 and CE 545.
The EOP shot was most likely a different weapon.
Certainly not from a high-powered rifle unless it was fired in the z313+ time zone.
According to Dr. Kenneth Strully, a New Hampshire neurosurgeon, JFK's arm movements following Z225 were caused by direct stimulation of the relevant nerves in the spine.
In a letter appearing on another forum long ago he wrote, "Before all else, it is necessary to remember that this assassination reveals a sequence of neural responses initiated in the neck by the shock wave and cavitation induced by the bullet in its traverse of the neck. This traumatized all structures in a 6 inch radius in all directions from the path of passage through the neck. This spread of forces occurred in a fraction of a second, traumatizing all neural structures in the immediate vicinity [….] As a result, contraction of the muscles innervated by nerves closest to the bullet’s path took place first; — right deltoid, left deltoid, right biceps followed by the left biceps [….] Kennedy did not reach for his throat. All movements seen in the films, occurring relative to the bullet’s passage, were involuntary; lifting of the shoulders was a result of contraction of the deltoids followed by contraction of the biceps muscles which flexed the upper extremities at the elbows, then forearm and intrinsic muscles of the hands causing clenching of the hands.”
Charts online show that the nerves controlling the arms and hands originate around the C8/T1 area. No, it wasn't the Thorburn position but something similar, evidently.
Going back to lurking now... Carry on, gentlemen.
