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

Joseph Backes doesn't understand how debate works. If you're going to attack my case, you have to attack my whole case. You can't just hone in on one thing which you consider weak and ignore the rest. Because when you do that, you're showing that you consider the rest not weak, but strong. 

Backes didn't like my reference to triangular-shaped faces. But, the guy on the right has a face shaped like a pole. It's uncannily long and slender. Was he really built that way? But, I also pointed to other things, Backes. I pointed to the deep crease lines around the mouth matching Conein. I pointed to the the way the image of Adams looks like a manipulated image, like it was deliberately narrowed to cover up his fat face. 

Did his face change or did they manipulate the photo on the left?

You know who agrees with me that his image looks manipulated? OIC senior member from Sweden Staffan Westerberg. I just got this email from him.

Ralph, good work! The image is manipulated imo. Staffan H Westerberg 

OK, so let's assume that's a manipulated image. So, we'll chuck it and rely on the other images of Adams.

So, when we get rid of the suspicious image, we're left with a very different impression of Robert Adams. The guy had nostrils like a race horse. Are you seeing that on the other two?

Above we are seeing a much rounder, shorter face on Adams and no deep-set eyes. Hone in on the center part of the face on each of them. 

Notice the deep-set eyes on the spectator and Conein. Adams's eyes weren't like that. In fact, I just noticed something else. Look at Adams' eyebrows.

On the left, he looks like a raccoon. It  looks like they darkened above his eyes because they wanted to fabricate the look of deep-set eyes. Compare again to the other images of Adams.

Yet, it helped a lot to Coneinize him.

Imagine if they hadn't done that. The dark above the eyes is what sells the whole thing. So, they lengthened and slenderized his face, and they darkened above his eyes all to turn him into Lucien Conein. 

Why, in the lighting of this picture, would it be so dark above his eyes? Were his eyebrows that bushy? 

I don't think so. Look at them here. 

No, no, no. What we have here is one manipulated image and several real ones in which the man looks very different. I have a sneaking suspicion that they tried to do the same thing here as in the Altgens photo, except in reverse. There, they tried to get rid of Oswald in the doorway by replacing him with Lovelady, and they did it by altering the image of the spectator. Here, they tried to get rid of Conein on the sidewalk by replacing him with Adams, but they did it by altering Adams' image, not the spectator's. Same scheme; different approach. Probably the same alterers too. 

Finally, there is the newspaper clipping mentioning Robert Adams. Supposedly, his wife created it by replacing a paragraph with one that she wrote which mentioned her husband. Then she hung it on the wall. What a strange thing to do when it involved the slaughtering of the President. "Look at Robert! That was him just before Kennedy's head was blown off." 

Have you ever heard about anyone doing that before? Taking a newspaper clipping and rewriting part of it as if it appeared in the article? It wouldn't bother me if it were a happy event, but would you do it in connection with a massacre?
