I have always believed it was caused by a complete bullet from the front, until Thom Robinson freed me from that dream. Question: you are doctor with experience on bullet wounds, you see a tiny neat little round hole in a throat. What would you think first? 1) This is an entry wound of a small caliber bullet 2) This is an exit wound from a fragment of an explosive bullet that hit in the head. Mind you, the doctors didn't know about about an explosive bullet, let alone a mercury bullet. No, I don't blame the doctors at all. If it looks like duck, if it walks like a duck, if it sounds like duck, you're going to say it's a duck. JFK was NOT shot in the throat. I too have believed for a long time that he was shot in the throat. But it didn't happen. The only time that JFK COULD have been shot in the throat, was very early in the game, at the beginning of the Zapruder film. Why? Because after that, he slumps forward and his throat is not exposed anymore. It doesn't make sense for ANY shooter, not even a trigger happy one, to shoot from the front that early, if the plan was to frame a patsy from BEHIND. Moreover, it would be an EXTREMELY risky shot right thru the windshield (glass breaks the line of vision, and could also deflect the bullet path). The bullet hole, crack or whatever it was in the windshield, was the result from a missed bullet from behind over JFK's head. Just as the nick in the chrome lining was. Additionally, his head and throat would be exposed for only a very short time, with no time to follow and aim. And the other passengers were in the way, JFK was the most rear passenger in the limo, hence an additional risk to hit someone else in the car. Finally, there was no wound of exit, neither a bullet found for such a shot. The throat wound was caused by an exiting fragment , maybe even a drop of mercury from JF's mercury explosive bullet. Mercury is a heavy liquid metal. The tiny perforations in JFK's face, as observed by embalmer Thom Robinson, were also the result of exiting mercury drops in my opinion. Lastly, what you don't know is that I have conducted a video interview with Thom Robinson, wherein he states that the gaping hole in JFK's skull was probed with a tiny probe and that one of those probes from INSIDE the skull came out at the throat wound ! That's why he told me that he has always been very quiet about this, but that he has chuckled for all those years at the conspiracy buffs who claim JFK was shot in the throat from the front. He knew better since 1963. And I know better since I spoke to him. I should have known better earlier by listening to Jimmy, instead of to the JFK research community, and what they have brainwashed themselves with. I too was a victim of what I wanted to believe, and looked so self-evident. James Files was right all along. He was the ONLY shooter from the front, and even he was not supposed to shoot. But he did, because JFK had not been hit in the head. Failure was never an option in a operation that Jimmy took part in, not even at age 21. That's what made him such a valuable asset for the Chicago mob and the CIA. ONeill in his official report said agent Kellerman, now deceased, told him that Kennedy cried out, "My God, Ive been hit, get me to a hospital!" The second bullet hit Texas Gov. John Connally, sitting in a jump seat behind Kellerman. The third was the fatal wound to Kennedy. ONeill said recently in an interview that Kellerman insisted, when pressed how he knew it was Kennedy's voice, "I was with the man for three years, and know his voice like I know my own. And he was the only man in the back seat of the car that day who spoke with a Boston accent."

Kennedy could never have spoken with a bullet in his throat. WimThe idea of a fragment (or mercury droplet) originating in JFK's skull and exiting the front of his throat is a plausible one, and something I explained in detail on another thread in this forum. I tend to believe mercury would be vapourized into a lethal cloud, but the fragment could easily have come from the bullet carrying the mercury. OTOH, a frangible bullet could have done the same thing.As I explained before, there is an opening in the base of the skull, in the lower part of the occipital bone, called the "foramen magnum", through which the spinal cord is connected to the base of the brain. It is about the size of an egg.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/c ... ral.pngThe question I have in this matter, even though I see the possibility of a fragment passing through the foramen magnum, is this, did the probe Tom Robinson saw follow a wound track, or a natural opening through the foramen magnum? Unfortunately, we will never know, as, obviously, no one at Bethesda thought to examine this area.Interestingly, x-ray technician Jerrol Custer, present at Bethesda that night, claims he saw an x-ray of JFK's neck (now missing, of course) that showed many small fragments in the vicinity of cervical vertebrae C3/C4.
