You're kind of cute when you're being self-righteous.

Someday, if you ever stop trying to explain the whole universe with one criminal action, you'll start being able to have a rational discussion on this matter.

Why doesn't it surprise me that you resort to ad hominem instead of responding to the issue at hand?

And here he goes again. Unchecked by the mods, this poster is simply a troll with a lot of time on his hands.

He appears everywhere on this forum , so no one should feel singled out.

Ford said then he only made the description more precise. Skeptics said Ford's wording falsely made the wound seem higher on the body to make the panel's conclusion that one bullet hit both Kennedy and Texas Gov. John Connally more plausible.


Good grief. The man made a material change in an official government document

The president�s blood stained shirt shows a bullet hole in the back. You can confirm this at the National Archives.

The effect of Ford's editing was to suggest that a bullet struck Kennedy in the neck.

Without that alteration, it would have been impossible to convince anyone that the single bullet theory could have been possible.

And in fact, several members on the panel were not even convinced that the shots came from the 6th floor window and this made Ford�s alteration even more imperative.


why do we need a shirt? where does the autopsy say the bullet hit? I'm actually curious, so fill me in.

actually if u could..could you show the original description of the wound, ford's alteration from the report and the autopsy description of where the wound was.

I believe I made my point that this "conspiracy theory" has now become the truth, as evidenced by reporting by the mainstream media. .


You really don't see the problem here? All along the mainstream media was either part of the conspiracy or controlled by the conspiracy but as soon as it favors you, it becomes evidence. That is mighty selective.

BTW if it is true, you have evidence Ford changed the descriptions of a wound. Not evidence that he or the FBI was involved in a conspiracy on JFK's life.

Oh. The story is true. You are just frustrated because THE conspiracy theory of all time has become true, as reported by one, but not all, of the mainstream media organizations.

My detailed response is in the sticky on this specific topic.

You really can't see it? Wow. I am truly fascinated by how your mind works.

The story may or may not be true, and it may or may not be significant. I have no idea. Your detailed response is the comparison of the autopsy and the warren report? What page of which sticky?

BTW in the part bolded, are you claiming that this is proof that an FBI conspiracy involving Ford killed Kennedy?

Some quick research got me this

Quote:
Moreover, all three Bethesda doctors authenticated for the HSCA autopsy photographs showing an entry wound at the level of C6 (the sixth cervical vertebra, at the base of the neck), which is the entry level as determined by the HSCA investigation on the basis of photographic and X-ray evidence from the autopsy.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_F._Kennedy_assassination

that is from the doctors who performed the autopsy, as far as i know.

this is from the warren report

Quote:
The autopsy also disclosed a wound near the base of the back of President Kennedy's neck slightly to the right of his spine


http://www.archives.gov/research/jfk/warren-commission-report

It seems they match. What was the original wording of the warren report?

Could you show me the before and after?

There is a JFK sticky just above you.

Please confine your discussion about that conspiracy there.

Conspiracy Theorist: one who theorizes about conspiracies which may or may not be occuring.

Conspiracy: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/conspiracy

Not a prejorative term in and of itself in my estimation, although like most things, if taken to the extreme it can be extremely annoying.

I, too, proposed essentially a dictionary definition early in this thread.

Some others, as you can see if you care to look back however, disagreed and tried to give it a new meaning that was more than the sum of its parts.

I don't deny its connotation, but its denotation cannot credibly be denied.

would be hard to do a poll . Conspiracy theorists aren't exactly honest about their motives.
