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

It is a shame that so many people take confidence in following the herd. For instance, on those Facebook pages where people were incensed at the idea that someone should say that Mary Moorman did not take the Moorman photo. Of all the nerve. The very idea. The unmitigated gall. 

Well, she didn't take it. She couldn't have taken it. And what we see in the Moorman photo cannot possibly be real. Not Mary Moorman and not anybody else on that side of the street could have taken a picture that captured the right arm only of BJ Martin (which was his distant arm) and only a part of it at that. 

A Polaroid camera is not a laser instrument like that used in brain surgery. A Polaroid camera has a lens which receives light from a very wide angle. And, it is light which emanates from the entirety of the the field of view that is encompassed by that angle. It cannot possibly be reduced to this: a man's far right arm. 

  
Not when it was shot like this:

So frankly, I am just marveling at the mass stupidity of it all, the fact that people, in mass, are rejecting something simply because they don't want it to be true. They don't like it. They don't care for it. It is not how they want reality to be; therefore, they reject it. And, they take strength in numbers. 

Well, reality has a way of catching up with those people; often rudely; and sometimes shockingly. There is only one way this is going to end, and that is: with universal recognition that the Moorman photo was highly altered and that Mary Moorman did not take it. About that I am as certain as I am that the sun is going rise in the east and set in the west tomorrow. 

That's the way reality is. It's the way Physics is. Unshakable. Unstoppable. Unyielding. And, utterly unsympathetic to stubbornness and stupidity.
