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

Popeye only occurs in the Wiegman film. The bloodied keep asking why, and I keep telling them that they can't presume to be able to correlate all the figures because the JFK assassination is the most photographically altered event in the history of the world. But, the bloodied, being bloody, don't listen.

I want you to look at the size of the wrist on Popeye. I think he's been eating his spinach.

I want you to look at the size of his wrist and compare it to the width of his hips. He is very wide-wristed but slim-hipped. Dwell on it a few seconds, and then compare your wrist to the width of your hips. I bet your wrist is scrawny in comparison. That is one massive wrist.

Now, let's compare his wrist to that of the people in front of him. Of course, they are larger overall because they are closer to the camera.

The people in front are much larger in the picture because of the perspective, and of course that affects every part of them. Take the man on the left. He appears much larger than Popeye. But look how small his wrist looks in comparison. And look how small it is in comparison to his hips. We'll put them side by side.

I deliberately kept the same perspective because it's important. But again, look at Popeye's wrist in comparison to his hips, and do the same for the guy in the Stetson hat. Are you getting the picture? That left wrist and right elbow on Popeye are huge. He's a freak.

Let's compare his dimensions to the woman in the white top.

She is large compared to him because of the perspective difference, but still, his huge wrist and huge elbow stand out.

What's he wearing?

While we're here, let's compare his left shoulder to that of the woman in front. Notice how soft and delicate hers looks compared to his. Glance your eyes back and forth. You can see that he's got a raised pad of trapezius muscle there and she doesn't. Of course, she has one as everyone does, but it's much less developed. That's because she's a woman, and he's a man.  And since he's a man, we expect him to be wearing pants though we can't distinguish them on him. Who goes to work at a warehouse all dressed in white? What is that draped over his right shoulder? A towel? Why is it there?

You know, it's amazing me the extent to which people will rationalize what they say. Pat Speer actually suggested that it was a towel brought along to wave at the President. That is stupid.

Compare his right sleeve to his left. Sleeves tend to be symmetrical, right?

On our right (his left) we see a long sleeve that is rolled up several inches above his wrist. Therefore, on our left (his right) we should either see the same thing OR perhaps it's down all the way. Instead, what we actually see is bare arm all the way up to the top of his upper arm. Why the asymmetry? Who goes around like that?

The point is that the guy is a fucking freak, and you can't make sense of that. He doesn't occur in any other image, and he doesn't make sense in this image. Stop thinking that it's normal. It is not normal. Stop thinking that he is a rational presence. He is not a rational presence. He is weird. He is a freak. He is an abomination. And don't listen to the bloodied. The bloodied will try to rationalize every weird thing that occurs in the JFK assassination imagery, and I'm sure that some of them are paid to do so. You've heard of rose-colored glasses. Well, their glasses are bloodied; bloodied with the blood of John Kennedy and many others. It's too many to count.
