In reply to the discussion: Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy believed President Kennedy was killed by a conspiracy. [View all]AntiFascist
(12,792 posts)I am not a conspiracy theorist who touts that the body was significantly altered, I would agree with Dr. Wecht on that, and I have no interest whatsoever in theories about faked moon landings, no planes hitting the WTC, or a Sandy Hook false flag operation. This is simply your desperate attempt to marginalize my arguments.
The paragraph you cite as evidence, itself, states that "the botched autopsy necessitated urgent examination". Do you understand the meaning of the word "botched"?
Not all of the official medical experts are in complete argreement. Dr. Wecht, himself, suspects that the backward head motion might be explained by a soft-nosed bullet that struck the right side of the President's head simultaneously with the shot from the rear and disintegrated on impact without exiting the skull on the other side. Some medical experts analyzing the results have similar concerns, who were not part of official investigations. These are facts you simply cannot dismiss. How could they possibly analyze all of the brain matter when much of it was expelled?
The autopsy photographs and x-rays could very well have been altered during the HSCA investigation by CIA liason Blahut, since there is official documentation of him mishandling the material, leading to his being fired from that position. This is yet another inconvenient fact you can't dismiss.
The history of the Zapruder film is just as questionable if you care to review the facts as they are layed out. The original first generation copy obtained by LIFE is reported to have been of poor quality and I cannot make out much detail in frame 323 about the back of the head.
There also seems to be ample evidence that the intact nature of the scalp was misleadingly used to indicate that the back of the skull itself was intact.
My main concern is that the autopsy may have been rushed and that Hoover, heading the FBI, was primarilly interested in arriving at one conclusion about a single gunman. Hoover also had a history of not wanting to pursue the mafia. The CIA may have also wanted to avoid any mafia implication due to their covert ties to mafia assassins (a declassified fact you cannot dismiss) particularly in relation to anti-Castro operations that Oswald himself may have been associated. The article in the OP also makes reference to phone records of both Oswald and Ruby that "were like an inventory" of mafia leaders.
