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

This is Part 6 and the final in my series on the Lovelady films; it's the wrap-up. This is my summation to the jury on why there are sound reasons to conclude that the Lovelady films are fake.

1) The very fact that they supposedly feature Lovelady makes them false because he definitely wasn't there at the time. He accounted for his actions in detail in his WC testimony, and he definitely wasn't there then. So, the timeline does not work. It could not have been him, and the people who made those phony films forgot to check his testimony to see what he said about it.  

2) Then physically, neither of the Lovelady figures from those films are a match to Billy Lovelady, and they don't even match each other. One looks hefty and burly, while the other looks small and scrawny. The contrast between them is great. And how can the guy on the right be 26? 

3) If Lovelady couldn't be there at the time, and he couldn't, then they had to be Lovelady impostors. But, there is no way they could have been prepared to do that on 11/22/63. In fact, the problem of Lovelady's shirt did not surface until 1966 when Harold Weisberg started clamoring about the short-sleeved, striped shirt that Lovelady actually wore- the one in which he posed for pictures for the FBI and even unbuttoned to assume the look of Doorman. He wouldn't have done that unless it was the same shirt. The FBI put it in writing twice that he said that he wore that short-sleeved shirt. 

4) In both the Hughes and Martin films there are grave incongruities involving the Lovelady figure. In Hughes, it takes a long time for the image of the Lovelady figure to get stabilized. He goes through wild oscillations and distortions that do not get resolved until he reaches the center of the doorway. And it is something that affects him and only him; no one else. 

5) In the Martin film, they clearly forgot to open up the impostor's shirt. No way is his shirt sprawled open like Doorman's. 

Isn't it obvious that Doorman's open sprawl was a match to Oswald's shirt?

6. No recognition was made of these Lovelady sightings until 1966, and they were made in response to Harold Weisberg. If the films existed in 1963, why weren't they mentioned by the Warren Commission? Why weren't they used by the Warren Commission in their examination of the Doorman question? 

7. Why didn't Lovelady or his wife (or was more vocal than he was) cite these films as evidence that he wore a plaid shirt? Why didn't Mrs. Lovelady bring it up with Harold Weisberg? Why didn't she tell him that he only had to look at the various films to see her Billy in a plaid shirt?

8. The plaid shirt worn by the Lovelady impostor in the Martin film doesn't even match the plaid shirt that Lovelady posed in years later. The impostor's shirt had a big pocket flap going over the pocket, but Lovelady's shirt did not. It had no flap. Plus, it would seem that Lovelady lost a lot of weight over the years, so why did the shirt still fit him snugly in the latter years? People don't have their shirts tailored; it's too expensive. How come that shirt continued to fit him after he lost so much weight? 

  
9. A bevy of doctors confirmed that the Martin Lovelady was anatomically different than the real Lovelady, including their skeletal alignment. 

10. The incongruities with the squad room sighting of Lovelady, which supposedly happened an hour later, are just as disturbing as the sidewalk sighting, and it also involved two contradictory Loveladys who could not possibly be the same man.

  

Anyone with an honest disposition will admit immediately that the two above are not the same human being. And once again, their shirts aren't even configured the same, so how can they be the same man at the same moment in time and space?

The creation of phony film evidence to show Lovelady wearing a plaid shirt is surely one of the most outrageous and reckless frauds of the JFK assassination, and every honest JFK researcher and Oswald defender needs to condemn it for what it is: an evil and bloodied charade. Lovelady was NOT milling around outside the TSBD after the assassination, and he was NOT seated at a desk in the squad room when Oswald was led by. Fake! Fake! Fake! Shout it from the rooftops.
