    If you've ever seen a headshot in person, you know what I'm talking about. Thank God, I've never seen a person shot in the head, but I've seen plenty of deer take one in the melon over the years. When you put a bullet into a brain, it overloads the nervous system and can cause most of the body's muscles to contract violently because of massive electrical discharges down nerve pathways. With the relationship of muscles in the head, neck & back, that would result in a violent jerk TO THE REAR.....regardless of the bullet's angle of entry.

    And the school of thought that thinks that bullet impacts cause bodies to fly violently across the room and "SPLAT" against the far wall? Bogus. Let me get this straight.....JFK's head simultaneously exploded like Jim Zabel's head after the 2005 ISU-Iowa football game AND was propelled backwards by the impact of a bullet fired from the grassy knoll? Which is it? Did the bullet rip it's way through JFK's head, or did it expend all it's energy on the surface causing his head to rock backwards? Assuming that a human head weighs about 8 or 9 pounds, a 160 grain (there are 7,000 grains in a pound) bullet traveling just over 2000 feet per second is going to do a bunch of damage, but it's not going to cause that large of a target to violently careen away from the impact. Especially since a human head does not have the same properties as a steel plate. Heads are much "mushier". As Jackie Kennedy can attest to.

    But, of course, let's defer to the expertise of Oliver Stone. He's definitely an unbiased authority.
    Yet in how many gruesome execution videos does the persons head definitely goes in the opposite direction of the gun.

    Of course, there is the matter of the motorcycle cop riding behind JFK who was splattered with so much blood he thought he'd been shot. Ever seen a deer shot with so much force that the blood exits via the entrance wound?

    Yes, there was a moon landing. But after the Gulf of Tonkin, Watergate, Iran-Contra, etc., I believe it's OK to question what the "official" version of events is. Even the House Select Committee on Assassinations reviewed the Warren Report findings and said there was probably a conspiracy.

    Does it not appear that brain material / blood was expelled "globally," not just to the rear?

    For me, after riding a several-years-long obsession with the assassination while being convinced a conspiracy was at work in Dealey Plaza, one book turned me from conspiracy believer to lone-gunman (Oswald) apostle:

    Case Closed, by Gerald Posner.
    Amazon.com: Case Closed: Lee Harvey Oswald and the Assassination of JFK (9780679418252): Gerald Posner: Books

    Anyone else here read the book?

    Interestingly enough, Posner is being sued for plagiarism for his most recent work. He has hired Mark Lane, the author of "Last Word: My Indictment of the CIA in the Murder of JFK", as his attorney.

    And back in 2003, even Posner couldn't come up with a reason for why CIA agent George Joannides purposefully withheld information from the House Select on Assassinations while supposedly "helping" them. Posner was one of the authors who signed the suit to release additional CIA records.

    I don't have a clue who killed JFK. But one year after the Cuban Missile crisis, the government didn't have any interest in making the cold war hotter by exposing any ties between Oswald and Cuba. They closed up the crime scene and all that's left are muddled footprints leading in all directions.

Anyways, one day, right after giving me anothere lesson on why they faked the moon landings, she tells me she has to leave work early to take her dog to the psychic. Then she explained how much better her dog was doing since this woman she was going to was able to read the dogs thoughts and tell her all the dog needed. At that point, not that I ever didn't believe we landed on the moon, I've chalked this up to another rumor of the crazies.

    Wait, a woman can talk to your dog through telepathy, but there is no way we have the technology to land on the moon? What am I missing here?
    I think I've found the problem...
