VIDEO: KEN RAHN ON THE VALIDITY OF N.A.A. (FROM SEPTEMBER 2004)
David Von Pein
AN ASSASSINATION-RELATED VIDEO OF INTEREST.......
Watch Professor Ken Rahn present a good case for the validity of Dr.
Vincent Guinn's "Only 2 Bullets From Oswald's Gun Struck Kennedy And
Connally" NAA conclusions during a JFK Assassination conference held
in Washington, D.C., on September 18, 2004:

N.A.A. ADDENDUM:
Below are links to two articles (from 2006 and 2007), written by me,
related to the subject of NAA, which are articles that, IMO, contain a
good deal of ordinary, garden-variety common sense....which is
something that is often overlooked (or just flat-out not applied at
all) by conspiracy theorists in their zeal to prove their own
particular points regarding the 'validity vs. invalidity' of Neutron
Activation Analysis.
But perhaps it's time for some good ol' CS&L [Common Sense & Logic] to
enter back into such a discussion about NAA and the assassination of
President Kennedy in general:

>>> "You should not be using the Guinn/Rahn data to support the LN theory any more than I should be using George O'Toole's voice stress analysis to support a CT. Find other ways to argue for the LN theory." <<<
Guinn's and Rahn's data hold up just fine, thank you. Esp. in light of
the fact that all of Guinn's conclusions, right down to the
"groupings" of the fragments, perfectly corroborate the LN/LHO
scenario to a tee.
And I'd still like to know the odds that Guinn could have come to such
an exacting conclusion re. the "grouping" of those 5 bullet specimens
if, in fact, 3 or more bullets had actually been involved in the
crime?
It's preposterous on its face to think that 3 or more bullets are in
the mix in this case....but Guinn just HAPPENED to arrive at a
perfectly-aligned "3 IN THIS PILE and 2 IN THIS PILE" scenario with
respect to those 5 bullet specimens he examined.
And, as I've maintained in the past as well, NAA isn't really even
needed at all to arrive at a logical and almost-certainly-accurate
determination with respect to the total number of bullets in Guinn's 5-
Specimen mix.
1.) 40% of the specimens = TWO distinct WCC/MC bullets from Rifle
C2766.
2.) The other 60% are too small to be linked to ANY gun via
traditional ballistics means.
3.) The two victims were positively struck by only TWO bullets on
11/22/63.
Therefore, the math becomes pretty easy at this point (to a reasonable
person looking at #1 thru #3 above, at any rate). But for CTers, for
some reason, it's apparently a pyramid-building project in its
complexities and possibilities.
Or do CTers want to call Dr. Guinn a flat-out liar?
If not...I'll still continue to ask (based on numbers 1 through 3
listed above) -- WHAT ARE THE ODDS of Guinn arriving at such PRECISE
determinations regarding those 5 different bullet specimens AND BEING
DEAD-WRONG IN HIS "ONLY 2 BULLETS" CONCLUSION?

>>> "The LN argument re: two bullets [that hit the two victims on 11/22/63] rests on an assumption in the authenticity of what is presented as being discovered and with the assumption that everything that could be discovered was discovered." <<<
Quick Summary Of The Facts:
1.) JFK was positively struck by only two bullets. That cannot
possibly be disputed by any reasonable person, given the autopsy
report and the never-wavering testimony of all 3 autopsy surgeons.
2.) John Connally, the only other person in the limousine to be
injured by rifle fire in Dealey Plaza on November 22nd, was positively
hit by just one bullet (which had to be CE399, for a variety of
reasons...both common-sense-based and otherwise).
3.) CE399 had to have gone through JFK first before hitting Connally
(this fact being based on many things as well, including, again, some
of that 'common sense' that many CTers seem to want to avoid like
brussels sprouts).
Therefore:
Two bullets and only two bullets (total) struck the two victims in the
limousine. Period. Anyone claiming otherwise has yet to provide
substantial proof to support those claims. And they never will, I
fear.

came from, it had to pass through the President's body first." --
