WHY DO CONSPIRACY THEORISTS CONTINUE TO IGNORE WARREN COMMISSION EXHIBIT 903?

The Rydberg drawing definitely shows both entry holes (head and upper
back) to be in ridiculously-skewed locations, I agree. The back wound
is way too high and way too far to the right, and the head wound is
too low.
Similar to the Boswell Face Sheet drawing (where Boswell's "dot" on
the chart is in the wrong location), it just tends to prove that many
times we can't fully rely on that type of generic "dots drawn on a
cartoon" drawing to tell the whole story of a particular wound
location. (Except for Ida Dox's drawings, which are very good, since
Dox overlaid the actual autopsy photos over the drawings for a perfect
match.)
But Humes was simply wrong when he told Rydberg to draw the wounds
where he told Rydberg to draw them. Simple as that. It wasn't a
deliberate attempt to deceive the world, for cryin' out loud....for if
it were an attempt to do that, why on Earth would Humes have ALSO
talked about the exacting Boswell Face Sheet measurements regarding
the back wound ("14 cm. from mastoid", etc.)?
Did Humes WANT to look like an idiot when he said "14 cm. from
mastoid" and "14 cm. from right shoulder joint", which are
measurements that most certainly don't match this Rydberg drawing?:
http://history-matters.com/archive/jfk/wc/wcvols/wh16/html/WH_Vol16_0501a.htm
The really, REALLY stupid part of this whole Rydberg/Humes affair is
the fact that the need for such drawings was so easily avoidable by
merely having the doctors testify with the actual autopsy photos in
front of them, instead of having to rely on second-hand stick-figure
drawings that are certainly not to JOHN F. KENNEDY SCALE.
It's incredibly stupid (and always was) on the part of the Warren
Commission to not have DEMANDED to see and fully examine those autopsy
pics and X-rays (and to have them viewed by witnesses, like Humes, on
the witness stand during their WC testimony).
I've often said that the failure of the WC to view and fully examine
the autopsy pictures (i.e., the BEST possible VISUAL evidence of JFK's
injuries) is the biggest blunder that can be attributed to the Warren
Commission.
I'm still flabbergasted to this day at such idiocy that had the
official investigative team which was looking into JFK's murder being
left in the dark about something so important as the autopsy pictures
and X-rays of the President's body. The stupidity of that decision
will never be topped, IMO.
But, having ranted and raved for a little while about the stupidity of
that decision re. the autopsy photos, I also must say this as well ---
The Warren Commission STILL GOT THINGS RIGHT in the long run, even
without viewing the autopsy photos.
I.E.:
The WC got it right with respect to LHO acting alone. And the WC got
it right with respect to only two bullets hitting JFK from behind,
with the SBT being an absolute rock-solid fact, with the WC ultimately
getting the location of JFK's upper-back wound in just exactly the
right place, with CE903 confirming, verifying, and proving for all
time that the WC, despite the awful Rydberg drawing and despite the
sometimes-confusing testimony of Dr. Humes, did indeed GET IT RIGHT
with respect to the location of the bullet hole in John Kennedy's
UPPER BACK, just as CE903 shows.
Anybody who argues, after taking one look at CE903 below, that it was
the position of the WC that the entry wound on JFK's upper back was
really in the "neck" region of the President is simply full of shit.
In CE903, Arlen Specter's 'pointer' is positively located in a
position that has the bullet wound located in the BACK, not the NECK,
of the stand-in for JFK.
And anyone who, with a straight face, can actually continue to argue
that the Single-Bullet Theory is a total "fraud" and/or is utterly
"impossible" after taking a good look at CE903 is simply fooling
themselves. Because the SBT works perfectly (and with the entrance
wound in the UPPER BACK of Kennedy, not in the "NECK"), and CE903
proves that fact:

THE SBT & THE IMPORTANCE OF CE903:
===============================
As can be seen in Warren Commission Exhibit #903 (linked below), the
"Single-Bullet Theory" trajectory works just fine. In fact, it works
absolutely perfectly. Which would be virtually impossible if MULTIPLE
bullets had actually done the damage to the two victims (JFK & John
Connally) that the Warren Commission said was very likely caused by
only one single bullet (CE399).
And the pointer/rod in Exhibit 903 is just where the autopsy photo of
John Kennedy's back shows the wound to be located, with the exit wound
exactly at the "tie knot" via CE903, just exactly where JFK sustained
damage from the flight of a bullet. .....

And look at the angle -- DOWNWARD (17 DEGREES), FROM BACK TO FRONT.
Without a doubt.
Also: When CTers attempt to use the "opposite angle" photo to CE903,
which shows Arlen Specter holding the rod a little above where he is
holding it in CE903 itself....
http://www.jfklancer.com/photos/Evidence/Mag_Bull.jpg
....the CTers who claim that something is "fishy" or "misleading" are
doing so without ever having determined exactly WHAT THAT OTHER PHOTO
IS, and for what exact purpose it was taken, etc.*
* = Oh, I know it was taken the same day as CE903....but it's unfair
to say that it depicts the WC's SBT trajectory precisely, because it
is NOT an official Warren Commission exhibit like CE903.
Let's listen to the testimony of the man who took the photo we see in
CE903 (Lyndal Shaneyfelt).....
ARLEN SPECTER -- "I now hand you a photograph which has been marked as
Commission Exhibit No. 903 and ask you if you know who the
photographer was?"
LYNDAL L. SHANEYFELT -- "Yes; I took this photograph."
MR. SPECTER -- "When was that photograph taken?"
MR. SHANEYFELT -- "It was taken Sunday afternoon, May 24, 1964."
MR. SPECTER -- "Is there a white string which is apparent in the
background of that photograph?"
MR. SHANEYFELT -- "That is correct."
MR. SPECTER -- "What is the angle of declination of that string?"
MR. SHANEYFELT -- "That string was placed along the wall by the
surveyor at an angle of 17 degrees-43'-30''." ....
http://history-matters.com/archive/jfk/wc/wcvols/wh18/html/WH_Vol18_0055b.htm
MR. SPECTER -- "Did the surveyor make that placement in your
presence?"
MR. SHANEYFELT -- "He did."
MR. SPECTER -- "Were the stand-ins for President Kennedy and Governor
Connally positioned in the same relative positions as those occupied
by President Kennedy and Governor Connally depicted in the Zapruder
films?"
MR. SHANEYFELT -- "Yes; these positions were approximately the
position of the President and Governor Connally in the Zapruder films
in the area around frame 225 as they go behind the signboard and as
they emerge from the signboard."
MR. SPECTER -- "Was the rod which is held in that photograph
positioned at an angle as closely parallel to the white string as it
could be positioned?"
MR. SHANEYFELT -- "Yes."
MR. SPECTER -- "And through what positions did that rod pass?"
MR. SHANEYFELT -- "The rod passed through a position on the back of
the stand-in for the President at a point approximating that of the
entrance wound, exited along about the knot of the tie or the button
of the coat or button of the shirt, and the end of the rod was
inserted in the entrance hole on the back of Governor Connally's coat
which was being worn by the stand-in for Governor Connally."
MR. SPECTER -- "And was Governor Connally's stand-in seated in the
position where the point of exit would have been below the right
nipple at the approximate point described by Governor Connally's
doctors?"
MR. SHANEYFELT -- "That is correct."

Anti-SBT conspiracy theorists simply cannot fight the "SBT perfection"
that exists in CE903....
http://history-matters.com/archive/jfk/wc/wcvols/wh18/html/WH_Vol18_0055b.htm
As mentioned by Shaneyfelt in his WC testimony, the stand-in
representing Governor Connally is wearing the same jacket that JBC
wore on 11/22/63....and that pointer/rod being held by Mr. Specter,
which is coming out of JFK's tie knot, is being placed right into the
exact bullet hole in that jacket in CE903.
CE903 shows:
1.) Downward (back-to-front) angle of the bullet path (17 degrees) =
Perfect.
2.) Upper-back JFK wound = Perfect.
3.) JFK exit wound at tie knot = Perfect.
4.) Entry wound on JBC's back = Perfect (with Specter's metal rod
being jammed into the same hole on JBC's exact jacket where a bullet
just happened to penetrate Connally's suit jacket on 11/22/63, by
gosh!).
5.) Exit wound on JBC's chest (under right nipple) = Perfect via CE903
as well.
Sum Total.....
No "zig-zag" path.
No "magic" bullet.
No "SBT conspiracy".
In short: CE903 = S.B.T. PERFECTION!

AND A QUOTE FROM THE MAN WHO IS "RECLAIMING HISTORY":
"Several factors make it clear that Kennedy and Connally WERE struck
by the same bullet. There's absolutely no evidence of the existence of
any separate bullet hitting Connally." -- Vincent Bugliosi

NOT six inches lower, where the
autopsy report said it was
face sheet said it was
autopsy photos show it was.
THAT'S why.
IDIOT.

Notice the "bullet path" on the top of the shoulder:

CE903 perfectly illustrates the SBT bullet path. Absolutely perfectly.
http://history-matters.com/archive/jfk/wc/wcvols/wh18/html/WH_Vol18_0055b.htm
If Arlen Specter's pointer (in CE903) were to be re-positioned a
little to his left (which, of course, is a location that Specter
didn't have the luxury of placing the simulated bullet hole, because
Arlen didn't feel like murdering the person standing in for John
Kennedy), it would place the "wound" in the UPPER BACK of the JFK
stand-in....just as the inimitable Jean Davison pointed out on January
2, 2007:
"To my knowledge, [nobody] has ever explained how moving the
back wound up to THE NECK supports the SBT. Nobody CAN support it,
because moving the entry to the neck would destroy the WC's SBT
trajectory, not strengthen it. Again I'll refer you to CE 903.
Although Specter didn't drill a hole in the stand-in's body and drive
the rod through it, had he done so, the entry would be in the upper
back, not in the neck. There's a string on the wall above his hand
that shows an angle of about 18 degrees -- that's the approximate
angle measured by a surveyor during the re-enactment and the one the
WC used for its SBT. If the rod is moved up to the neck, the bullet
will exit well above the exit wound under JFK's Adam's apple. Or take
a look at this photo of JFK [linked below]. Try drawing a line of c.
18 degrees backward from the knot in JFK's tie. Where does it come
out? Upper back, right? The claim that Ford's change "strengthens" the
WC's SBT is simply not true. If I haven't made my point by now, I give
up." -- Jean Davison; 01/02/2007
