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

 So, when Kennedy was shot in the back, high on the hill, why didn't he react? It was only a minor flesh wound. No vital damage was done. The physical trauma was trivial, and the mental impairment from that trauma was none. So, why didn't he do something when he knew that he was attacked and that more was coming? 

The weapon with which he was attacked was designed to feel like nothing more than a mosquito bite. CIA Director William Colby told us that. 

So, upon being shot, Kennedy had to know that something happened, but he didn't know what. All he knew was that he felt something weird; something hard to pinpoint; and that changes were happening inside him rapidly. He was rapidly feeling sick in a very strange way. It was overwhelming. It was totally unfamiliar to him, and it was frightening. The effect was sweeping and all-encompassing. 

Some of you are doctors, and you know that sometimes when a patient is extremely ill, he may completely internalize. He may utterly withdraw. He becomes completely possessed by what he is feeling. That's what was happening to JFK. 

And it was progressive. It was worsening by the second. His muscles were going into spasm, which was not only frightening, but painful. You know that the spasmodic pain from strychnine poisoning is said to be one of the worst pains there is. When Jane Stanford was in the throes of strychnine poisoning, she managed to get out that it was the worst pain she ever knew. 

For 60 years, the entire medical community has ignored the pathological state that Kennedy was in. I mean not just his physical trauma but his whole pathological condition, where his mind failed, and his ability to communicate failed, and his control of his muscles failed. It was bizarre, and we wouldn't know about it if not for the Zapruder film. 

And there is no way that the physical trauma he had received, to that point, caused it.  

He went from smiling and waving and being fully awake, aware, cognizant, and responsive to being catatonic. Again, the physical trauma he had received to that point could not have caused it. 

He wasn't just hurt; he was sick. And we, the doctors of the world, can help him. We can help him get justice. All it takes is to properly diagnose him.
