Experts Now Say JFK Bullet Analysis Was Wrong

Spy Handler writes "Researchers analyzing bullet fragments from the 1963 Kennedy assassination using new techniques say that the government's 1976 conclusion that the bullets came from only one gun (Oswald's) is wrong. 'Using new guidelines set forth by the National Academy of Sciences for proper bullet analysis, Tobin and his colleagues at Texas A&M re-analyzed the bullet evidence used by the 1976 House Select Committee on Assassinations, which concluded that only one shooter, Oswald, fired the shots that killed Kennedy in Dallas. The committee's finding was based in part on the research of now-deceased University of California at Irvine chemist Vincent P. Guinn. He used bullet lead analysis to conclude that the five bullet fragments recovered from the Kennedy assassination scene came from just two bullets, which were traced to the same batch of bullets Oswald owned.'"

    a timely release of information to take the heat off of GWB and his pals dancing around the law in D.C.?

    If people are busy worrying about the secrets surrounding the murder of JFK they will be too busy to notice the secrets that are currently being shoved under the carpet in the Whitehouse?

    To wake the people so that they can truly know what the government is up to. Instead, the government distracts us with various issues that they won't solve on purpose to keep the average person's eyes away from the truth. They use the media to sensationalize these "Conspiracy nut cases" in a way that makes the people think that anyone who disagrees with the government is crazy, insane, or just plain weird. Since most people avoid being weird to better fit in, they essentially avoid questioning the government.

    Hence, why the good conspiracy buffs are really trying to blow the lid off of a cover up in order to jar people's awareness. Why do you think the differences between democrats and republicans keeps spreading (more non-issues) and the people's votes keep getting closer to 50-50? They are turning people against each other so that they focus on "the other half" of the population instead of their government.

    How many times did you hear republicans gripe at the democrats for voting Clinton in twice?
    How many times did you hear democrats gripe at the republicans for voting Bush in twice?

    Do people really want our troops to pull out of Iraq, or just want Bush to fail? (At the cost of hundreds of thousands or Iraqis and a new home for terrorists?)

    Yet during all this, our government is most likely using this to cover things up. How about Katrina? That seems to be getting covered up. When is the last time you heard about it?

    Wow, you really freak out when someone suggests we don't know the truth about 9/11.

    If it's true, then those people are probably still profiting from the assassination and they should be found and imprisoned, and their ill-gotten goods taken away.

    That depends on who those conspirators might be. If they are associated with the Defense Department, it could be big trouble. IMHO, this country is a lot closer to a bannana republic than most people realize.

    Then your head was stomped on. The brains that squirted out were fed to a pack of rabid chiahuahuas. The shit that came out was burned, and the ashes were sent to the sun to be incinerated in thermonuclear reactions.

    Calling you dumber than a box of rocks would be an insult to granite.

    Your "expert" is a cold-fusion quack.

    Did you miss the fact that literally thousands if not millions of people actually saw those planes hit the twin towers.

    You're too stupid to be called a fucking jackass. If you ever say that kind of crap to my face, look out. Because I used to play nose tackle in college, can still bench over 400 pounds and squat over 600 despite being over 40. And since I lost a few personal friends on 9/11, I'd use that size and strength to mash your nose all over your face, knock out a few teeth, and break your damn jaw.

    And I mean that deadly seriously. I'll crush your empty head like a fucking grape.

    You stupid shit.

    Sorry to break the news to you but heat does soften steel long before it actually liquefies. That is true. However, liquid steel was found in the basement of the World Trade Center weeks after 9/11. This requires explanation because most people agree that the fires in the WTC towers were not hot enough to melt steel. Food for thought it all.

    Really. The guy's dead.

    What really matters in the whole affair is how the course of history was changed as a result of Kennedy's death, not whodunit. If anybody can prove one way or the other any of the vast number of theories about the event itself, kudos.

    But it won't change the fact of his death, or the results of it.

    Governments are generally thrilled when an event like this comes along. It opens avenues through public fear for instilling greater control over what remains any government's greatest adversary - the very people the government governs.

    The same is true of the cascade of events since 9/11.

    A great deal of time can be wasted grasping at straws while ignoring what's going on in plain sight. Those buildings fell down. Big deal.

    Now, we've effectively lost 6/10 of the Bill of Rights through expert manipulation of public fear. There's the real tragedy.
