About that Frontal Shot--and Back of the Head Blow-out
On the Education Forum (at https://educationforum.ipbhost.com/topic/30161-evidence-of-a-frontal-shot-part-ii-the-exit-wound/#replyForm), researcher Gil Jesus posted a link to an excellent video compilation at https://gil-jesus.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/rear-head-wound.mp4 showing multiple witnesses describing the back of the head "blow-out," which is indicative of a frontal shot.
And yet...the Zapruder Film shows a front of the head blow-out. Solution: The Z-film is an altered product.
And yet...the autopsy X-rays and photographs show a front of the head blow-out. Solution: The autopsy images are altered. However, the originally published HSCA lateral image (at https://www.history-matters.com/archive/jfk/hsca/reportvols/vol7/html/HSCA_Vol7_0060b.htm) is closer to the truth. Note its original caption, "showing the occipital defect," which is medical-speak for a back of the head blow-out. The "computer-enhanced" X-ray image showing a front of the head blow-out is actually a composite of this original image and JFK's "living" X-ray. And don't forget the Crenshaw/Kilduff forehead points.
And yet...the autopsy doctors insisted that there was an entrance wound at the back of the head at the EOP location. This is corroborated by the metallic smear on the outside of the Harper Fragment (indicating an entrance), which Dr. Mantik places at the EOP location in his skull reconstruction. Solution: There were two head shots: one from the front, and one from the rear.
So which head shot occurred first, the one from the front or the one from the rear?
By Puppé's Rule, skull fractures help determine entrance/exit locations and the order of shots. The first entrance wound location causes a series of fractures. The exit wound creates a new series of fractures, but each fracture line stops when it encounters a previously created fracture line (from the original entrance). Each subsequent head shot creates its own entrance/exit wounds, with fractures that stop when they encounter previously formed fracture lines.
Moreover, as Dr. Mantik notes in one of his more recent videos (posted 2019, see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vw2JtxQ4a0A at about 1:57:11) he describes something very interesting. Now, Mantik apparently believes that the EOP shot was first and the frontal shot second, but that belief is apparently based on the Zapruder Film (about which he believes frames were removed, but apparently not more extensive alteration), but more to the point, he notes that eyewitnesses described a very visible "halo of debris" spray from the shot that occurred when the limousine was on Elm Street (somewhere between Mary Moorman's position and the stairs up the knoll). This visible spray would only be possible after a number of seconds had passed between the first shot, allowing blood and fluid to accumulate inside the skull before the second head shot could cause that "halo" effect (though Mantik agrees that it didn't occur when the limousine was in the Z313 position, but was farther down Elm Street). The blood-type halo was created because enough time had passed after the first head shot for blood to accumulate inside the skull, before the second head shot struck.
Which, of course, matches my scenario exactly.
