My Scenario - Part 4

My Scenario Part 4

First - a quick review is in order. I've demonstrated that I will do
precisely what I say I will: to wit, I will match in length, detail,
and number of citations any scenario posted by a believer. I've done
so repeatedly, and invariably, believers then run away. I then
demonstrated that the Warren Commission refused to investigate prior
assassination attempts that would have shed light on the conspiracy to
murder the President. I then showed that the Warren Commission had
their "conclusions" in written form before they interviewed a single
witness... and that the Commission clearly indicated a desire **NOT**
to hold a real investigation. I then demonstrated that the evidence
from just moments after the shooting strongly supported a shooter at
the Grassy Knoll.

Moving on... the strongest evidence outside of the eyewitnesses who
pointed to the Grassy Knoll - was the medical evidence given within
those first few hours... where it was stated that JFK had been hit
from the front in the throat and temple.

The Warren Commission knew this - they made a distinct effort *NOT* to
have the Parkland Conference on the record. Vincent Bugliosi, too,
knew just how powerful this evidence was - he was forced to lie about
it... stating that "Although Carrico was unable to determine whether
the throat wound was an entrance or exit wound, he did observe that
the wound was "ragged," virtually a sure sign of an exit wound as
opposed to an entrance wound, which is usually round and devoid of
ragged edges." (Bugliosi, p.413)

This is simply a lie... and not a *SINGLE* believer has been willing
to publicly acknowledge this fact.

But Bugliosi clearly understood that the *ACTUAL* description of the
wound as small, round, neat... and looking like an entry wound... was
devastating to the official theory.

So he simply lied.

The truth, of course, is that this throat wound of Kennedy's *LOOKED*
like an entry wound - medical professionals with a great deal of
expertise with bullet wounds stated this. The Warren Commission evaded
this fact, and managed to convince the eyewitnesses to recant their
*ORIGINAL* statements - but when original statements conflict with
later statements - and presuming that there's no new information - the
earliest statements are by far the most credible.

Since the Autopsy never saw the throat wound, and never even knew it
existed - the autopsy isn't evidence that can contradict the earliest
medical evidence for an ENTRY wound in the throat.

Yet time after time, believers cite the Autopsy Report - DESPITE
knowing for a fact that the prosectors never examined the throat
wound, or even knew during the autopsy that it was a bullet wound.
That they keep citing the Autopsy is proof that they're desperate -
believers have nothing other than sheer speculation to over-ride the
actual evidence.

At this point, I've demonstrated that the Warren Commission refused to
do an actual investigation... that they had a pre-planned set of
"conclusions" before ever even examining the evidence... that in the
first few *moments* after the assassination, that police rushed
towards the Grassy Knoll... and that the original medical opinion was
for shot(s) hitting JFK from the front.

I'm afraid that may have been because Curry and the sheriff told them to. But I've always wondered whose idea that was first. Wasn't Sorrells in the car, too? I mistrust anything that he's connected with.... And I'm afraid I have to speculate that the troops were told to rush the underpass so that Oswald could get out of the depository, to get set up for Tippit's murder.... Otherwise, they don't have witnesses to Oswald doing anything. (Brennan was added to the DPD lineup results sheet later.)

No, this was Puddy's claim.

I've QUOTED several police officers who asserted their reason for
rushing to the GK - and it did not include Chief Curry's order.

A rifle firing from the GK would have been far louder and easier to
pin-point than a rifle being fired from the 6th floor.

I don't need to speculate, I pay attention to what the officers
themselves stated. I gave these in Part 3:

"Just a few seconds after the president's car had passed my location I
heard a shot ring out, a couple of seconds elapsed and then two more
shots ring out. I immediately ran to the area from which it sounded
like the shots had been fired. This is an area between the railroads
and the Texas School Book Depository which is east of the railroads.
There were several other officers in this area and we secured it from
the public." - Harold Elkins.

"I was standing in front of the Sheriff's Office watching the
Presidential Motorcade. The President's car had passed my location a
couple of minutes when I heard a loud report which I thought was a
railroad torpedo, as it sounded as if it came from the railroad yard.
Thinking, this was a heck of a time for one to go off, then I heard a
2nd report which had more of an echo report and thought to myself,
that this was a rifle and I started toward the corner when I heard the
3rd report. By this time I was running towards the railroad yards
where the sound seemed to come from." - Harry Weatherford.

You can disbelieve them if you wish, but I find it credible that Chief
Curry was not the only person who heard shots coming from the GK and
reacted.
