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

So, Backes posted some very clear frames of Oswald being escorted to his rendezvous with Lovelady- which didn't happen at all except on film, and that was years later. Backes said these clear frames were shot by another Dallas TV station that was a CBS affiliate. 

That is much better quality than we have ever seen the Buck film. Is there any reason to think that the CBS affiliate cameraman had a better camera than the ABC affiliate cameraman? 

Quite a difference in quality, wouldn't you say? It says it was aired on 11/22/64, but do you think it was aired in that poor of quality in 1964? And don't blame it on Youtube, Backes, because you said the top ones came from Youtube. 

But, Backes had no good ones to offer from inside the Squad room. This is what he showed. 

This was part of a long series, and you might think it was a complete rendering of the film, but it wasn't. I don't know where the above came from. Backes said it was from the Youtube page of Helmer Reenberg, but it wasn't.

So, I don't know where Backes got it. He's not saying, other than to lie. But, look at the two frames above. Do you know what occurred between them? This did:

Now, that's shitty, I admit, but don't blame me. That's how it appears in A Year Ago Today- today. I'm sure it was clear as a bell when they showed it in 1964, and the Lovelady figure that you see wasn't there. Why is it so blurry now? They had to make it blurry precisely because the Lovelady figure is there. You see, what they were trying to do was pass off two men as the same man. And, I mean these two men:

If we are not going to admit that those are two different men, we might as well say Laurel and Hardy are the same man. And, if you had to pass those two men off as the same man, you'd blur it up too. With the guy on the left, they also had to adjust the aspect ratio to slim him down since he was way too thick and muscular to match the other guy. But, we have a clear frame of how he looked. 

You see how nice that is? In Three Shots That Changed America, that's how he originally looked. It's how he looks in the version I have of it on DVD. But, he was the only Lovelady they showcased. So, it was fine to show him clearly. But once they decided to merge him with the other Lovelady, then they had to slim him down and blur him up. 

So, here is the bait the switch as it occurs in A Year Ago Today. It starts with a slimmed down version of this Lovelady; then it's followed by the Curtain frame with the big linebacker cop getting in the way and taking up the whole screen; and then when he steps aside, it starts over with the clip from Four Days in November which has the other Lovelady. 

So, on the top is the beefy, muscular Lovelady, whom I call DeNiro Lovelady because he's got his hair combed back like Robert DeNiro in The Deer Hunter. And he does look like DeNiro. Then there is the Curtain frame. (And ask yourself why a cameraman would shoot the back of an anonymous cop like that.) Just think of him like the curtain coming down at the playhouse when they have to change the set for the next scene. And then when he steps aside, wahlah, we see the other Lovelady, whom I call Embedded Lovelady. It's a classic bait and switch. 

But, considering the disparity between those two men, the only hope of selling it was speeding it up, blurring it up, and slimming down DeNiro Lovelady. And they did all three.

And that is why the Buck film (A Year Ago Today) is so lousy in quality, and the other one is not. 

Now, if Backes has got the Buck film as sharp as the CBS film, let's see it. 

But remember the most crucial thing, which is that in the Buck film, they spliced together two different Loveladys and tried to pass them off as one. 

Remember that both are fake because Lovelady wasn't there. That desk was empty when the cops and Oswald passed it by. So, these are both fakes. The one on the right came first. So, why'd they do it over? Well, I suspect they realized it wasn't very good. For one thing, they forgot to prop open Lovelady's shirt. Remember, he was supposed to be Doorman, and look at Doorman's shirt.

Are we supposed to believe he buttoned up after the assassination? Those are obviously not the same shirt. And question: does the man on the right look like he's 26 years old? That's how old Lovelady was. So, does that man look 26? 

So, they realized that they blew it with that guy, and that's why they made a whole separate production with DeNiro Lovelady. 

But, they made lots of mistakes with him too. For instance, why isn't he looking at Oswald? 

The top line shows you were Lovelady should have been looking, and the bottom line shows you where he was looking. Big mistake, but you see, they weren't thinking about that. They had him turned towards us because they wanted us to get a good look at him. They weren't thinking about what Lovelady's real behavior would have been. 

He makes a rotten match to Doorman too, where even the shirt prop isn't right.

How do you get a rectangular sprawl on a button-up shirt? It should always be, in essence, triangular. And worse than that is the fact that he is way too thick and muscular to be anyone who could be mistaken for Oswald. 

Look at that mammoth arm? He looks like an Olympic weightlifter. So, they had to slim him down, and they turned him into what I call Don Knotts Lovelady.

On the left is the same guy, DeNiro Lovelady. It is not a different photograph; it is not a different man. It is the same photograph with the aspect ratio adjusted to slim him down. Look how small and narrow the lockers look. They're like little kids' lockers. 

The whole thing is really just a comedy of errors. And to defend this shit is nothing short of insane. I mean it's evil, of course, but it's also insane. It's insane to make excuses for it and to try to explain it away. It was just Nazi propaganda movie-making at its most diabolical. 

But of course, Joseph Backes defends it. And it is because Joseph Backes is soaked in the blood of John Kennedy. Joseph Backes kills John Kennedy, over and over, every day of his miserable, useless, despicable life. But, I've gone long way in exposing the evil bastard, and I'm not through.
