The Discovery Channel will air a program on Sunday that forensically examines the JFK assassination. Specifically they recreate the geometry of the shot and model JFK's head with some high tech goo that simulates a real skull. The program is to air on Sunday, Nov. 16th, but there are video clips and a summary at link below.

Basically, they say that the shot from the School Book Depository recreates the actual wound to Kennedy's head, while the shot from the grassy knoll does not.

Guess we can put this one to bed huh!? :) :boxedin:

This would be more believable were the Discovery Channel not simply another arm of the NWO propaganda machine. After all, the Mythbusters weren't able to bisect an SUV with 1000 pounds of thermite. Besides, everybody knows the Vatican/CIA/Opus Dei/Pat Robertson/Reptilians killed Kennedy with a DEW from outer space.
 
I watched a show that nearly duplicated the so-called magic bullet trajectory. They had human torso shaped gelatin blocks with bones inserted for ribs and wrists. The blocks were positioned the same as JFK and Connelly were in the Limo, with Connelly inboard and low.

Using a 6.5 mm Carcano from a raised position duplicating the shooter's nest in the TSBD, a marksman shot the rear block (JFK) in the back. The bullet was shown on high speed cameras to go through JFK, yaw, exit sideways, penetrate Connelly's simulated chest, then go through the simulated wrist and bounce off of the simulated thigh. The people conducting the test decided that the bullet did not penetrate the simulated thigh due to breaking two ribs instead of just one in the simulated torso. Excellent show.

Maybe it's time for a wooden stake and some Garlic. That seems to be about the only way to kill the "Second Gunman"theory.
The problem with JFK assisnation theories is they have been along so long theylook more "respectable" then other CTs. I know people who laugh at UFO theorists and consider 9/11 Truthers to be nutjobs but who heavily buy into the JFK theories and consider Oliver Stone's "JFK" to be gospel truth.
 
I notice that no one has commented. So I will. :)

It was quite well done. I doubt that the JFK CTs will care, but they pretty comprehensively showed that the lethal shot had to have been by Oswell and that any shooter on the Grassy knoll either never existed or missed because if they had hit the would would have been in the front of the head (or there would have been no head) and Jackie would have been dead too.
 
The Presidents "Misplaced" brain would have solved all of these complaints ... Yet the Brain is gone. The one piece of evidence that could have revealed and put to rest all of these mysteries. Imagine that! The ONE PIECE of evidence that could have "Fingered" someone magically Disappears. Was anyone fired for "Losing" the brain? Was anyoneone repremanded? Was anyone even ASKED about it?

Why?

It is also obvious that the photos of Oswald in the back yard were faked.

Why?

Eh? How?

Snip from MuseumofHoaxes:

In 1978 the Select Committee on Assassination of the House of Representatives commissioned a panel of photographic experts to study the photo. Their examination included microscopic analysis of the photo, as well as photogrammetric comparison of Oswald's face to other photos of him (including two other photos taken in his backyard). No evidence of tampering was found. The mysterious line across Oswald's chin was determined to be a water spot.

Of course, if you really and truly believe this was a huge conspiracy then you'll probably just reject any sort of goverment inquiry as being "in on it" the way NIST was "in on" WTC7.

Regarding the brain:

The brain (what remained of it), slides, X-rays, photographs, and
other medical materials were in the possession of the Kennedy family
after the autopsy. In 1968, congressional legislation mandated that
these materials be turned over to the National Archives; but the brain
and a few other items were not among the returned materials. It is pre-
sumed that Bobby Kennedy disposed of the brain to avoid it becoming
an object of public curiosity.

Got a link to this show? IS it online? Sounds interesting.
 
The DC did not prove an SBT scenario in that show. And in the newest show they disproved the autopsy photos and xrays. Their Z313 fatal head shot blew away the top of the head. Do your realize the significance of that?

Did you mean to post this in the "JFK Second Shooter Theory Debunked by Discovery Channel " thread in the parent Conspiracy Theories forum? It would probably make more sense there. Ask a moderator and they may be able to move it for you.

You really haven't looked into this.
The brain was given to RFK. It is thought that he had it placed in the coffin prior to burial.
There was no mention of anything like a front-to-rear wound in it at the autopsy.
As for the backyard photos, the various loons who dispute them, even with access to the area, have never bothered to go there on the day those images were taken.... March 31, 13:15 CST and set up the scene.
I did that 14 years ago with AutoCAD, and got this oblique view of the scene.
HSCA's "expert" was equally befuddled, and totally screwed it up.
Wrong time of day for one.
I built a 1/35th scale model of the backyard (using a 1/35th scale toy soldier) and set it up to the HSCA "conclusion", and got a totally different image from any of the backyard photos.
Almost all CTwinkies will avoid doing any leg work, preferring to "reason" from their conclusion to the question, ignoring any information that doesn't fit, just as we see with the 9/11 crowd. JFK has attracted an equal number of hopelessly lost and viciously greedy "reasearchers" who follow any will-o-the-wisp that someone waves in front of them.
