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

It's about time ...

I was waiting for that asshole bpete to say that. I guess I have to remind him: this is the JFK assassination we're talking about.  If we were talking about just about anything else, I'd have to agree with him. But, when it comes to the JFK assassination, the whole thing is too fucking weird, and too fucking laced with strange coincidences to allow a thing like this to pass without suspicion. It's not OK.

The likeness between them is there. The lack of disconnects is noted. So, who is that guy, if he isn't Oswald? And since he's talking to a cop on the top landing of the TSBD entrance, we're going to assume- not that he's an unassociated bystander who just happened to have a question for a cop, so he climbed up there- but that he's associated with the place. And if you don't like that, bpete, then two words; the second one is "you". 

In the days following the assassination, the entire world saw the Altgens photo, and many people thought they were looking at Lee Harvey Oswald. They recognized the man, and they recognized the clothing. But then, it was quickly announced that it was somebody else: Billy Nolan Lovelady. 

Did they release pictures of Lovelady, so that people could compare him to the disputed figure and see for themselves that it was him? No, they didn't. They waited three months and then took staged pictures of him. Did they release those pictures for newspapers to publish? No, they didn't. They just quietly sent them to the Warren Commission with a letter from J.Edgar Hoover. 

Did the Warren Commission publish them? Not really. They're just part of the Warren Report Documents that were left behind without comment, analysis, acknowledgement, or review, but which tenacious researchers could have found if they searched for them. However, the general public was unlikely to see them except for the tireless efforts of one man: Harold Weisberg.  Harold found and published the FBI photos of Lovelady, and that's what started the whole flak about which shirt Lovelady wore. That's because, Harold also found the FBI letter which said that "Lovelady stated that he wore a red and white striped shirt and blue jeans" which were the same clothes in which he was photographed. So, it looked an awful lot like Lovelady was told to come to the FBI photo shoot on February 29, 1964 wearing the clothes he wore on 11/22/63.

Now, the point is that if the man in the photo with the Three Tramps isn't Oswald, why wasn't he considered as a candidate for Doorman? Why wasn't he accounted for? He looks more like Doorman and is dressed more like Doorman than Lovelady ever was. So, why wasn't he considered, and why didn't we hear about him? 

Plus, they told us that an amazing thing happened: that there were two guys at the TSBD who looked alike and dressed alike that day. But, it turns out that it wasn't two, but rather, IT WAS THREE! Oswald, Lovelady, and this other guy. 

Well, that just goes too fucking far. That may be OK with bpete, but bpete is bloodied, and the bloodied don't mind shit like this. But, I mind.      

So yes, I know about the timing problem between the Three Tramps and Oswald, and normally that would be enough to squash it. But, this is the JFK assassination we're talking about, so it's staying on the table. And if you don't like it, bpete, then just a quick reminder: Joseph Backes, proscenium arches, and you know the routine. 

Now, let's look at this again, and consider the possibilities:

Is it possible they marched the Three Tramps through Dealey Plaza earlier than reported?  Is it possible that Oswald hung around the TSBD later than reported? But, it couldn't have been too much later since Butch Burroughs places him in the Texas Theater at 1:07, which is before the Tippit murder.  

I haven't found any specific reference to the time that this photo was taken, but what if it was just 15 minutes after the assassination and it's something else they have been lying about? What if the whole story about them being found in a box car is bull shit? Again: this is the JFK assassination we are talking about. Do I have to remind you? "We are through the Looking Glass here, people. White is black. Black is white." Or, is it possible that this is a composite photo that they made for some unknown reason, not realizing that Oswald was in it? 

Look: if he's not Oswald, fine. Then who is he? 50 years have passed. The 75 employees of the TSBD are all known. Quite a few of them, such as Buell Frazier and Danny Arce, are still alive and at large. Let's show them the photo and have them identify the guy. Who was he, and why was he never considered as a candidate for Doorman?

Something is God-damn fishy about this, and we're not letting it go. And it's because this is the JFK assassination we're talking about. I don't fucking believe in JFK coincidences. Do you understand that, bpete?
