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

I took a picture of myself holding a jacket with my left hand. It looks like my right hand, but that's because I used a mirror, so it's a mirror image. I held the jacket the way it felt natural to me. I didn't think about it. I didn't decide I just did it. And as you can see, I wound up using two fingers as a hook: my index finger and my middle finger. 

You should realize something about what is going on there. My two fingers are tugging on the jacket, pulling it forward, but the jacket is pulling on my two fingers, pulling them the other way. So, there is a tug of war going on there. So, the jacket is applying a stretch to my fingers, pulling them away from my thumb, and that's why there is so much gap between my fingers and my thumb, which seems like an island by itself. Now let's compare to the New Orleans footage.

You see the resemblance between the outside of my hand and the inside of his hand. His thumb should be just as visible as mine, and it should be going off in its own direction, "opposed" to the other fingers, as mine is. It isn't. 

His is a very freaky image, and it is an altered image. There is no doubt about that. You also see that black blotch over the right side of his face.

Is that an innocent thing? Well, why assume that in light of what you know about the hand?

People like Joseph Backes have never admitted to ANY image alteration in the JFK assassination. Even though there is widespread recognition of Zapruder film alteration, Backyard photos alteration, and of course, Altgens photo alteration, Backes admits to no foul play with any of the images. He thinks that every JFK assassination image is as pure as the driven snow. But, if they would alter a film of the leafletting, which took place months before the assassination, how could they not alter the images from November 22? And that is what makes this important.
