Inside The AARB Vol. 1, By Doug Horne

[Phil Dragoo]

BruceJim DiEugenio covers Horne II in ten thousand words. A vital paragraph:Robinson was an interesting witness. He recalled seeing a wound about the size of an orange in the back of the skull between the ears. (p. 599) Robinson was also one of the several witnesses who Horne names who saw a wound in the temple near the hairline that was small enough to be hidden by hair. This latter description also guarantees this was an entry wound. Robinson said this wound "did not have to be hidden by make-up, and was simply plugged by him with some wax during the reconstruction." Finally, he recalled it being about a quarter inch in diameter. (p. 600) Unlike with Hagan and the post-autopsy pictures, Robinson's memory of this wound in the temple is vivid enough so that it cannot be easily dismissed.Here is Jimmy's entrance wound and wound of exit: the former in the "temple," the latter "between the ears."DiEugenio compliments Horne for explaining Mantik.I found Mantik fascinating in Assassination Science (1998) ed. By Jim Fetzer; radiation densitometry proves skull x-ray forgery. The mere mention of this has drawn the interest of our radiologist and surgeon.The 6.5 mm round “artifact” is obviously bogus—there it is in the anterior-posterior (AP) skull x-ray and none of the autopsists nor the radiologist or his assistant remarked on it at the time.A weakness of the work DiEugenio points out is absence of index. I also agree the table of contents is a joke in every volume thus far, a few lines. And whereas Douglass' Unspeakable had 400 pages of text and 100 pages of endnotes, Horne uses only periodic footnotes, more for amplification than sourcing.I like the coverage Horne gives it: it's intense, committed, passionate: a roll of wall-to-wall hammered into the tack strips by a team of gorillas.And check how Perry was hammered, and media records of his statements tracked down by the Secret Service. DiEugenio doesn't buy Horne's explanation of the intact occipital, that it was done by manipulating loose scalp; he thinks (as does Groden) that it's photo-forgery.Whatever the means, the end is to conceal frontal shot(s) as well as rear shot(s): crossfire, proving conspiracy, coup d'etat.Here again Robinson is used by Horne and DiEugenio to effect:Finally, there is a point of confirmation and corroboration made by Robinson. He told the ARRB that the gallery was pretty much filled, that there were way too many people there. He then added that the atmosphere was like a "cocktail party". He later added that it was even like a "circus". (p. 611) He felt that there were people in attendance "who clearly had no business being there, and that there was continuous and loud discussion from the gallery which he thought was both improper and distracting". (p. 611) It is one of the continuing mysteries of this case that no one has been able to explain precisely why all these people were there and who invited them and why they were not asked to leave.I posit they threw the party; it was their party: they are the military-intelligence shadow government who terminated the thirty-fifth president with extreme prejudice.In broad daylight—high noon in the public square as the nation watched.
