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

Dennis Cimino: "You can see that he's pasted in, and so is his wife. The lighting and clarity of them versus the rest of the car and the background is a mismatch, meaning they weren't in the car but pasted into it. This is a fake job here." 

Ralph Cinque: Dennis, what I think happened is that they made that picture because they knew about the stirrings over LBJ crouching down in the convertible on his way to the Kill Zone. But, then they looked at it and realized that it looked too fake to use. So, they didn't use it.  

So, they never released it or published it, and it wound up in Morgan Gies' file. And it was probably forgotten. Then, when he died, it passed on to his son. And, he had never said a word to his son about it. And his son probably never looked at it closely. It never occurred to him that it was fake. And then he gave it to the Henry Ford Museum, and it was the same for them. They never looked at it in a critical way. They just took it at face value. And so it wound up being published by them. 

But really, they should have destroyed it. Hey, the goofy thing is a smoking gun and a laughing stock. 

It shows you that they knew about the problem with LBJ ducking. They were aware of it and they were involved with it at the time. It was ten months before that that this happened:

"Youngblood's heroic action earned him the Treasury Department's highest honor, the Exceptional Service Award, presented by President Johnson on Dec. 4, 1963."

So, 10 months before, they went through that charade. So, it's not surprising that in the same time frame they would concoct the idea to make the phony picture. They were working the scam. 

Here is the ceremony at which LBJ gave Youngblood his award.

So, they claimed that Youngblood climbed into the backseat with the other three and got on top of LBJ, but nobody on the street noticed.

So, do you think that there were 4 people in the back of that car, with 6'5" Rufus Youngblood on top of 6'4" LBJ, and nobody on the street noticed? And Senator Ralph Yarborough denied it outright.

'It just didn't happen....  It was a small car, Johnson was a big man, tall.  His knees were up against his chin as it was.  There was no room for that to happen.'  Yarborough recalled that both Johnson and Youngblood ducked down as the shooting began and that Youngblood never left the front seat.
