http://www.infowars.com/video/clips/ballistics_test/wm_bb.htmBelow is a ten minute "see-for-yourself" report that conclusively shows
that Vice President Dick Cheney's claims to Kennedy County Sheriff's
Deputies in south Texas is a total fabrication.
A massive cover-up has been conducted concerning the shooting. We know
that most of the facts that have been told to the public are
manufactured frauds.
Cheney claims that he shot Whittington at 90 feet, ballistic tests from
the spread of the shotgun pellets to their penetration depth is 100%
conclusive.
Harry Whittington was shot at close range, between 15 and 18 feet, not
the 90 claimed by Dick Cheney and the Secret Service. It is now clear
why they refused to let Sheriff's Deputies interview Cheney for over 13
hours and why they claimed that Whittington's injuries were superficial
when in truth they were grievous.
The mainstream media is ignoring this literal smoking gun evidence.
Anytime they wish, the local police can conduct their own ballistics
tests and they will have the exact same findings. The media can conduct
their own tests. The ballistics of shotguns and birdshot is well known
to tens of millions of Americans who hunt fowl.
We have now scientifically proved with an engineer and a police officer
on-site conducting the test that the American people are being lied to
and a cover-up is in progress.

Observations of the Ballistics Test

On February 14, 2006 when I made my original comments about the Cheney
shooting incident on The Alex Jones Show, the subsequent article and
ballistic data that I complied were based on a basic knowledge of
firearms and my own personal and shared hunting experiences. I assumed
that they were probably using #4 or #5 birdshot, accordingly I went to
the
http://www.tacticalshotgun.ca/ website and gathered that specific
data. We now know the shot being used was an even smaller grain #7.5
birdshot, packing even less lethal ballistics than previously thought.
Included is data for #8 birdshot, the closest we could find, any
differences between #7.5 and #8 would be negligible.
As many of you already know Alex is a Pit Bull, he sinks his teeth in
and won’t let go. So yesterday I accompanied Alex to the local gun store
where he purchased a 28 gauge side-by-side double barreled shotgun with
one barrel modified and the other full-chocked. Which means the first
barrel has a slightly wider spread than the second, this allows for a
quick reaction shot when the bird is flushed, and if missed, the second
shot will allow for a better aimed tighter spread shot.
Alex also purchased the same 2 ¾ inch #7.5 shotgun shells used by
Cheney. So this morning February 16, the crew was off to the local range
to conduct a controlled, scientific ballistic test to prove that the
official story coming from the Cheney camp, describing the circumstances
of the Whittington shooting to be bold-faced lies. Again, we can’t
speculate at this time as to whether there was any malice or intent
involved, or whether it was a simple hunting accident, such as a dropped
gun or a snagged trigger. Although, as I speculated the other day about
the delay in allowing the Sheriff to interview "Quick-Draw Cheney," it
has now been confirmed that Cheney had indeed had at least one beer
during lunch. If you accept the notion that he stopped at one, that’s
like eating one potato chip, you must also consider the fact that he
could be on a number of medications for his heart condition that would
cause adverse effects if mixed with alcohol. The incident may have been
an accident, an unlucky fluke, a simple twist of fate, but what happened
in the aftermath of the shooting is without a doubt a crime, cover-up,
and a conspiracy. Here’s how we proved it:
We used three cameras to film the test, two were fixed at different
angles to the targets, the other was used to film Alex shooting the
shotgun. In our group we had Raymond, a former NASA contract engineer
from the Apollo program with prior service in the Air Force to make sure
the measurements were correct. Another in our team was Karl, a former
Airborne Infantrymen, M.P., weapons and self-defense instructor, and
former law enforcement, to explain the nature of shot trajectory and
wound ballistics. And finally there was Ryan and I on the cameras.
The first thing we did was to measure out 90 feet or 30 yards from where
we were to set-up the various targets. We erected man sized torso
targets for the shots from 90 feet, 30 feet, 15 feet, and 10 feet. We
also made shots from both barrels. The first shot was from 90 feet into
the paper target on a cardboard backing, this gave a spread of
approximately 7 ½ feet. Rule of thumb, you get 1 inch of spread for
every 1 foot of distance away from the barrel. Most of the pellets were
lodged in the cardboard with a few completely penetrating the 1/8 of an
inch cardboard. The next shot involved the latex torso dummy we brought,
he was dressed in two layers of clothing, a sweater and a shirt. Mr.
Whittington was reported to be wearing 3 layers. Again this shot was
from 90 feet, most of the shot that hit the target were caught in the
fibers of the clothing, a few actually penetrated through both layers,
but these were extremely shallow and could be picked out with your
fingers or tweezers. The same goes for the neck and face, if the pellets
hit at any sort of an angle if would they simply bounce off. The next
shots were taken at 30 feet in case Cheney and his goons were to come
out with a correction from yards to feet. This yielded a spread that was
more than 2 feet in diameter, still at least twice as wide as the Texas
Park and Wildlife Hunting Accident and Incident Report Form indicated.
We next took a shot from 15 feet or 5 yards (that’s half a first down).
The spread from this distance was approximately 8 to 10 inches. Imagine
the sight picture you would see looking down the barrel from 15 feet.
Mr. Whittington’s upper body would fill your vision, are we to believe
that a bird flew between Mr. Whittington and Cheney, the bird would have
had to be almost touching the end of the barrel. The shot taken from 10
feet had a spread of around 6 inches. In both the 10 foot and 15 foot
shots the holes made by the wad were significant. With the data from
these distances and their corresponding spreads we feel comfortable in
stating that Mr. Whittington was shot from a distance of between 15 and
18 feet. There is no confusing this distance with that of 90 feet.
So we have established the distance of the shot. Now we wanted to see if
we could match the wound penetration. As I already stated the shots at
the dummy torso from 90 feet had little to no effect. Alex then decided
to shoot the game hen and the watermelon from 90 feet. The results of
these shots were penetrations of 1 to 2 millimeters, this means they
were just under the outer layer of skin. There was also evidence of
impacts that bounced off, leaving black smudges on both targets. At
shots taken from 30 feet slightly deeper penetrations, but nothing that
went passed the most outer layers of the actual meat. The last shot was
taken at the game hen from 15 feet and that shot yielded the kind of
results that Mr. Whittington experienced, a tight cluster of pellet hits
penetrating into the internal cavities of the body.
In Conclusion the Kenedy County Sheriffs department closed its
investigation on Thursday February 16th, without ever even being allowed
to conduct one. It was clear from day one that the Cheney and Rove spin
machine were engaging in a cover-up. We don’t know the specifics of what
they are covering up, but what we do know is 100% scientifically proved.
Mr. Whittington was shot from 15 to 18 feet, not the 90 feet claimed by
Cheney. They acted very suspiciously by declaring national security and
ordering the Secret Service to keep the Sheriff from questioning Cheney
for over 13 hours. They then Care-Flighted Mr. Whittington to a hospital
that was further away while declaring his wounds to be minor and
superficial. Care-flight is reserved for only the most critically
wounded, but 22 hours after the shooting incident they announced to the
world that his wounds were minor, telling us he was sitting up in bed
and cracking jokes. In the meantime the hospital had already x-rayed his
chest and catheterized his heart to shunt the massive internal bleeding.
But for a day and a half afterwards Whitehouse Press Secretary Scott
McClellan was denying it. We know that Cheney is lying. He shot Mr.
Whittington up-close and whatever the circumstance are they’re either
more embarrassing or outright criminal than he’s willing to admit.
Meanwhile the liberal press is attacking Cheney for all the wrong
reasons and the straw-men they build will easily be toppled, unless the
people stand-up and demand an examination of the real facts.
