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

It should be obvious at first glance that this can't possibly be Mary Moorman's photo, and that's because she had waited there for hours, just standing there, to obtain that picture, and there is no way she would have waited to snap the shutter until the Kennedy's were past her, to where it was just the back of their heads. She wouldn't even have waited until they were in profile. She would have shot them before that, where their faces were in view. Because: it's all about capturing the faces. 

So, this image has to be VERY different from the one she took. And of course, there is the thumbprint. They told her that an FBI agent accidentally imparted the thumbprint, but are you buying it? He would have had to have white paint or white glue on his thumb. There is no way a plain thumb could have done that to a dry photo. That's what the thumbprint is doing: hiding him. This is how it looked before they did it. 

Clearly, it was done on purpose to cover up BJ Martin who was captured from Babushka's angle but not Mary's angle. 

But again, the whole photo has got to be very different from the one Mary took. So, how did they get her to go along with this fraud? I think I know. I think they must have paid her a large sum of money. 

"You see, Mary, we realize that we damaged your historic photo with that thumbprint, and you deserve to be compensated for that. So, we are going to give you x amount of money, but we are going to have to ask you to sign this confidentiality agreement. It means that you can't tell anyone that we paid you; ever. It's our little secret. But, at least now, you have your photo back, and you also have enough money to change your financial status for the rest of your life. So, are we good?"

Keep in mind that it is absolutely certain that to get Marina Oswald to go along with all the things they wanted her to say, that they directed a large sum of money to her. In her case, it didn't come directly from the government. It came from various media outlets; from gifts from the American people who felt sorry for her; from an Italian film company who paid her $125,000 for the rights to her story for the purpose of making a film that was never made, and that, I think, was the largest chunk. I think all together it was about $250,00, but that was in 1964 money. In today's money it would be about $2 million.  So, it was a hell of a green poultice, and it had Marina singing like a canary about Oswald and his rifle, and shooting at Walker, and wanting to shoot Nixon, etc. etc. etc.  It was all bull shit. She said she took the Backyard photo in February, even though it was obviously a warm day, a lot warmer than February. And even worse was that, according to the story, he didn't even own the rifle yet in February. Those kind of blatant dealbreakers were riddled throughout her stories.   

Marina was thoroughly MK-ULTRA'd which included giving her not just money but also love in the form of sex plus full immersion in a "Oswald as monster" world. They took her through the Looking Glass or down the Yellow Brick Road. 

Now, I'm not saying it was that bad with Mary Moorman. She got the milder version of it. She was visited by federal agents frequently because they had to come often to borrow and return her photo. I'm sure that they were sizing her up; working her; and trying to figure out how moldable she was. Apparently, her photo contained something that was very damaging to the Official Story. The decision to replace it was probably not made all at once. They probably started by trying to alter it. But, they were never satisfied. But eventually, from talking to her, they gained confidence and conviction that she would accept the swap without protest. 

But, of course, they would have sought to sweeten the deal by attaching a large sum of money to it. After all, that didn't cost anything. Money is something that the government prints, and they were printing it then. Of course, they weren't printing trillions then as they are today. But, they were printing millions and billions, and whatever they had to give Mary was bupkis.  

So, that's what I think happened. I think they paid her off to vouch for the phony "Moorman photo" that was really taken by Babushka Lady.
