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

Walter Faulter:

Ralph I had hoped that you would respond to my reply to your email. 

The POINT I wanted to make is:...IF someone altered the photo by inserting 
"portly man" with the white shirt and neck tie into Altgen's photo ..WHAT 
WAS THE REASON?? 

IF someone altered the photo why wouldn't the simply have put a total 
strangers face on the Oswald figure??  Why all the crap about altering 
Lee's appearance to make him look like Lovelady?  If someone wanted to hid 
the fact that Lee was there on the steps, why not insert some unknown mans 
face. 

You're a little short in the logical reasoning department, aren't you?

Ralph Cinque: 

I have addressed the reason, Walt. Oswald's shirt was very unique, especially on the left side, with the collar, the lapel, and the button loop. How many shirts do you have that have a button loop? Do you think Lovelady's shirt had a button loop?

Do you see the button loop, Walt? Do you see the jacket-like fold of the shirt? That's what they had to cover up. 

The fact is: Doorman was wearing Oswald's clothes. And the only one who could have been wearing Oswald's clothes was Oswald. Covering up the unique configuration of Oswald's shirt was the purpose of placing Black Tie Man in the picture.  

And as far as putting someone's face over Oswald's, they did that but only partially. They did the reverse with the Backyard photos. Jack White showed us how they moved Oswald's face over, except for the chin, which was the original man's chin. 

So, in that case, they were turning somebody else into Oswald. In this case, they were turning Oswald into somebody else: Lovelady. But, they were content to just move over the top part of the head, including the forehead, the hairline, and the top of the head, what I call the "cap". 




In neither case were they willing to move over an entire face, as you are suggesting, because it looks fake when you do that. It's not just a matter of doing it; it's a matter of getting away with it. They had to do something that would be subtle, that would blend in and look natural.

Why are you naively assuming that anything and everything was possible? That they could do anything they wanted? That anything your mind can conceive of was doable and workable to them?  

The image below is a physical, anatomical, and photographic monstrosity. The juxtaposition of those two individuals is utterly impossible. And nobody could duplicate it. And there is no image like it in the entire history of photography going back to 1820s. They had to cover up the left side of Oswald's shirt; it was that unique.
