What if? - the tracheometry wasnt undertaken?

[mike oneill]

Having read quite a number of passages over the years concerning the front throat wound - its my belief and conclusion that perhaps the tracheometry wasnt actually needed.Of course, i understand why Mr Perry took the action he did under the circumstances - it would be one his main concerns to make sure air ways were working effectively, but i hold the view that the air way probably wasnt compromised to the extent that it was truly neccessary. But of course - hindsight is a wonderful thingBut as a result - it just makes we wonder how the autopsy and subsequent FBi investigations to find the assassins would have worked out if Bethesda were simply faced with a bullet wound pure and simple????!!!??Mmmmmmmm i wonderRegardsMikeO

The president's body would not have arrived at Bethesda with an unaltered entry wound to the throat.I think I can prove it.The tracheotomy performed at Parkland was done with a surgical precision. The president's body arrived at Bethesda with an awful, ugly, irregular throat "exit wound." It would have arrived the same way whether a tracheotomy had been performed at Parkland or not. The planners could not allow there to be conclusive evidence of there having been a shot from the front. The likelihood that the throat wound was caused by the first shot fired tells us, I think, that the planners had intended to do this all along.I think that David Lifton has proven beyond any reasonable doubt (Best Evidence), that JFK's body did not arrive at Bethesda in the same condition it had left Parkland. This can absolutely be shown to be true regarding the condition of the president's throat wound.

the doctors at parkland were going through normal proceedures to keep the president alive even though it was obvious that he was a goner but he was the president and they had to do everything necessary. the throat wound as well as other alterations were made to promote a rear entrance wound and a front exit wound. at that time they had their patsy in custody and plan a,b,or whatever was in place and all evidence was then fabricated to promote what you now read in the history books.

A regular tracheotomy would need only a half-inch wide incision. If the throat wound was a bullet entry wound, to where did this bullet disappear? Why did it not exit at the rear neck, when it is such a soft material there? So most probably it was caused by headshot shrapnel.

I feel confident that it was removed at the time the alterations were made.As to why the bullet did not exit, I think you have raised a key question. It does seem likely that the bullet that caused the throat wound first passed through the windshield, which may have slowed it down some (Ken posted a link to a GREAT video about this shot recently). 'The Files Shot' seems to have been one of last resort- a shot using a frangible bullet which caused a whole mountain of problems due to the fact that it created a massive exit wound in the back of the head.

was there ever any xrays of the throat area?...also from what I've seen...the windshield looks like a crack...not as tho a bullet went thru it.

[ThomZajac]

There is ample evidence indicating that a bullet passed front-to-back through the front windshield.I will look for the Gil Jesus video link that Ken posted recently. It is excellent, and crosses the threshold of 'proof' in my opinion.(I should be able to find it in a few minutes....)
