JFK autopsy photos-consistent with x-rays?

I am a JFK conspiracist, knowing that Oswald didn’t do it alone (no time to set everybody straight, as it is not the proper forum; more importantly, i am busy now! :smiley: ). Now, to the Q: In the standard JFK autopsy photos, his face looks pretty normal.
Is this consistent with the x-rays that were (IIRC) published by the House Assassination Committee, or with whatever they were called? To me, not being trained, of course, the x-rays looked like the front of skull was also damaged which would show up pretty clearly on any photo. For the skull pic, it’s the first one on the page of the following link.
I suspect guts and skulls are not workplace safe, so I removed one of the o’s from *google * .

Also, having the type of wounds that JFK suffered, would that cause any bruising to the face that does not match the photos?
Please don’t start the same limp arguments against a conspiracy. I just want to know the answers to these Qs.
Thanks,

Stop!!!
Removing The O From Google Does Not Break The Link. It Is Live.
Sorry,

Bruising doesn’t unsually occur until several hours after injury, and not at all after death.
Dead bodies have lividity marks, from blood pooling at the lowest points in the body. So, having been shot in the back of the head and dying almost immediately, and remaining supine, no bruising would be seen on his face. Swelling doesn’t occur after death either.

Please, take some time and set everyone straight. Refute the same limp arguments against a conspiracy.

But do it in Great Debates.

Moved.

Here an interesting article discussing the xrays. I found it on a site that is not particularly friendly to your point of view.

Were you on the grassy knoll? Did the Warren Commission interview you? How did you avoid dying mysteriously like all those other people involved in the plot?

This is fascinating; we’ve never had an actual JFK conspiracist available for questioning here before.

Limp arguments against a conspiracy? Is that what you meant to say? Or “support the same limp arguments favoring a conspiracy”?

If you’re curious about theories involving head X-rays you might ask yourself where the metal fragments came from (Oswald used a heavy metal jacketed bullet). Where is the bullet that blew a chunk of JFK’s head off? Why is the entry hole of that injury smaller than the bullet used by Oswald?

Thank you, picunurse & Crotalus.

Because he didn’t. The driver did it and they all hid it in plain sight. The bullet used was one of those “splat” bullets that blew a chunk of his head out and pushed it back and to the left, thus the fragments You can see the governor lean out of the driver’s way. Everyone in that car was in on it, including JFK’s wife who he was cheating on. People just don’t seem to understand who these people are and what they’re trying to achieve, thus they’ve successfully kept it secret all these years.

Maybe JFK was in on it too?

Come on, XT, try to keep up. He said everyone in the car. It was an elaborate suicide.

I have to admit…just when I thought these things couldn’t possibly get more loony I find out that there are new depths to plumb in this stupid CT. This stuff has been so throughly debunked by so many sources (I just watched Peter Jennings really good debunking on the History Channel over the weekend) that you would think people would let go.

Someone need to do a serious pitting of Oliver Stone (though even HE, as fucked up as his JFK movie was, didn’t suggest that everyone in the car was in on it and the shooter was…the driver. :stuck_out_tongue: ).

I’d offer medical expertise if I had any, handsome harry. Since I don’t, I’d just like to point out that this seems to say “tell me if I’m right, but not if I’m wrong.” :wink: The exit wound in JFK’s head is located around the hairline, and I don’t think that’s inconsistent with the x-ray.

An important scientific discovery took place that day: a man’s brain grew legs and walked away.

Really…there was no need to tell us that. From your previous posts we already figured that part out. :stuck_out_tongue:

I feel like I need a scorecard, or a libretto. There’s some sarcasm going on in the thread, and it’s hard to tell what is intended as sarcasm and what it truly believed. What should be the most blatantly sarcastic post on the thread so far was posted by an 18-year-old conspiracy believer, and I’m afraid that he really believes what he was saying.

But back to Magiver - was your post serious? Yes, he used a full metal jacket bullet which fragmented when it hit his skull, leaving some fragments inside but most of them blowing out. Was this what you were asking? And about the entry hole being smaller than the bullet - can you provide any cites? I’ve heard before about the neck injury being smaller, which has a plausible explanation, but not the hole in the skull.

And if you were being sarcastic, I apologize.

xt, I’m pretty sure you’re being whooshed. Go back and read the sentence about the “splat bullet” and tell me s/he wasn’t joking.

Go back and read some of bigpappadiaz’s other posts, and you’ll understand why we’re not sure. He honestly believes some crap that is equally as wacky.
