I did some work this weekend involving 40 pound bags of soil, and hauling them around, I kept thinking about the mother and boy in the Altgens photo. They're watching the motorcade. He's high up. He could not have been standing on anything, so she must be holding him. But, how could she? Objects feel heavier as you continue to hold them. Do an experiment: just hold your arms out. See how long you can do that, hold them up. See how heavy they start feeling. See how long before it gets painful. He is not a baby or a toddler. He is a little boy, who just happens to be wearing a wool cap and pulled down over his ears on a sunny, 71 degree day. He and his mother were put in the picture, and it was to cover up the man behind them who is turned around looking at Oswald in the doorway. The President of the United States is driving by, and he's looking at Oswald. Who was he? I suspect he was FBI Agent James Bookhout who went on to impersonate Jack Ruby at the Garage Spectacle. You realize that there is no other photo in the world like this, where you've got a man who is completely headless just from visoring his eyes with his hands. Then, the man behind Oswald, who for some reason is turned 90 degrees and facing the wall; he is both in front of and behind Oswald at the same time. He is covering up Oswald's left shoulder at the same time that Oswald is covering up his right shoulder. So, who is in front of whom? And what's with the white splotch over the face of the short man who has his arms folded? This kind of photographic lunacy doesn't happen anywhere except the JFK assassination. It is the Bizarro World of the JFK assassination.
