Oswald in the doorway: the blog of the Oswald Innocence Campaign, by Ralph Cinque

I am not going to devote much time responding to bpete any more. As I've said, he is a child, not a man; and he it not even smart for a child. What distinguishes him is that he is a murderous blood-soaked child; a monster.

And being a dis-informationist, he tries hard to sow confusion, as he is doing now over the correlations and non-correlations.

It's very simple: you can't make the presumption that the images can be correlated. Obviously, not everything can be matched. We see Buell Frazier standing below Oswald in the Wiegman film, but we don't see him in the Altgens photo. We see the old geezer Popeye in the Wiegman film, but we don't see him in the Altgens photo. So, there are non-correlations.

However, it doesn't mean that nothing correlates. We see Oswald as Doorman at the opening of the Wiegman film, and we see him as Doorman in the Altgens photo. So, that is a correlation:

So, some things correlate and some things don't. But, we cannot make the assumption of correlation. We can't squeeze a square peg into a round hole to make a correlation. We can't call a man a woman to make a correlation. We have to accept that non-correlations exist between the images. So, we should correlate what we can, such as the two Doormen above, but we should also accept the discrepancies, the non-correlations when they occur. 

The only other thing I am going to comment on of bpete's is his choice of this collage to claim Lovelady as Doorman.

  
 The image on the left was taken 4 years after the assassination in 1967. It was taken by CBS. It was a planned, staged, posed photo designed to sell the idea of Lovelady as Doorman. It was done for the 4 hour JFK televised investigative special by CBS. And even though it lasted for 4 hours, they wound up NOT using that photo and NOT raising the Doorman issue at all in the program. Some wise editor must have pulled the plug on the whole thing realizing that there was more to lose than to gain by getting into it. And it is totally unfair to use that photo now because: why use a 4 year old staged photo when we have a photo of Lovelady in the doorway taken just minutes after the assassination?

 You can't use the other photo just because you like it better; because you think it makes a better impression. This is one is from the day of the assassination with practically no time elapsed. It involved no staging, no posing, no acting, no posturing- well, at least theoretically. It was, presumably, a SPONTANEOUS image of Lovelady. So, that's what you go with. And of course, it is a complete disconnect, where Lovelady's shirt wasn't even sprawled open, and I mean not even a little.

But, let's look at bpete's example anyway because the truth is that it gets him nowhere.

Doorman has a huge open sprawl, while Lovelady, even with the opportunity to plan it, plot it, and pose it, can't get his shirt to sprawl open the same way. Doorman has a notched, descending, v-shaped t-shirt, while Lovelady's is high and round. Lovelady has a checkerboard shirt with vertical and horizontal lines criss-crossing, forming boxes. There is not a single box on Doorman's shirt. Their ears don't match either.

See how large the lobule was at the bottom of Lovelady's ear on the left? Oswald's was much more tapered. Different ears.

And no, their hairlines are not the same: Lovelady is much balder. Doorman's hairline is an exact match to Lovelady's hairline from the 1950s.

Those are the hairlines that match. But alas, Lovelady didn't have that hairline at the time of the assassination. Fortunately for us, Mark Lane's photographer captured an unauthorized image of Lovelady during the winter of 1964:

So, Lovelady was quite bald at the time of the assassination. They took the hairline of Young Lovelady from the 1950s and moved it over to Doorman. Here's the Before and After:

And not having an image of the current Lovelady to work off, they used one of him from the 1950s. He was still a young man, only 26, so perhaps the alterers did not consider that he might have lost a lot of hair already. Bad mistake.

You win some, and you lose some, and they lost on that one.

But, I have to laugh: bpete is relying on a photo of Lovelady that CBS went to a lot of trouble and expense to make, but in the end, they wisely ditched it. But, bpete, not being wise, is trying to resurrect it. Bad idea.

But, if you want to see images that not only correlate, but scream the match out loud, you have to go with Oswald and Doorman.

They swing; they groove; they rock 'n roll. They scream out loud: Oswald in the doorway! And to deny it is utterly insane. Only the bloodied, like bpete, do so. It is the sign of a Kennedy-killer.
