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

This is to everyone who rejects the Single Bullet Theory.  To those that don’t reject it, just talk amongst yourselves.

If you are going to reject it, you have to replace it with something else. It’s like with Oswald in the doorway. The vast majority of people who say, “I know Oswald was innocent, but that’s not him in the doorway” say it without saying where he was instead. It goes right over their heads, as if he didn’t need to be anywhere. And if I pin them down about it, they might say, “he was in the 2^nd floor lunch room,”  but then, I point out that Oswald was just getting to the 2^nd floor lunch room when Officer Baker first saw him. So if Oswald was just arriving there at the lunch room at that time, how could he have been there a minute and a half earlier? You can’t say that he was there and then he left and came back. You have no right to claim that because you have no basis to claim it. You can’t make things up.

So, if the Single Bullet Theory didn’t happen, what did? The best way to answer that question is to look at what we are left with. And what we are left with is what the Bethesda doctors found at the autopsy. And what they found was a shallow wound in JFK’s back at the level of T3. Many of the doctors probed it, and they said that it seemed to come to an abrupt end. One doctor said it was as deep as the 2^nd joint of his pinkie. I measured that distance on me, and it's 1 ½ inches. Humes wanted to dissect Kennedy; open him up and track it. But, the Admirals in the room wouldn’t let him do it. So, all we know is that it was a shallow wound, adjacent to the spine, going through skin, fascia, and muscle, and seemingly coming to an abrupt end, and with no bullet in the wound.

That is all the back shot was; nothing more and nothing less. But, why wasn’t the bullet in the hole? I reject all the claims of the bullet falling out and getting stuck in the seat back or falling to the floor of the limo. For the bullet to fall out, it would have to back out through the same holes in his clothing that it made going in. And that is preposterous. So, I reject Paul Landis’ tall tale, as well as the one told by the friend of the driver Will Greer. They are bull shit artists, just like Robert Groden with his story about Oswald getting change during the shooting. 

So, a missile struck JFK in the back. It traveled an inch and a half. And then it stopped and disappeared.

Well, a metal bullet could not disappear. And a metal bullet could not stop in 1 ½ inches. That’s because the flight speed of the metal bullet was 2000 feet per second. So, how could a metal bullet traveling at that speed reach zero velocity in 1 ½ inches? What makes the bullet stop is the resistance of the victim’s tissues. Remember: the bullet is acting on the tissues, but the tissues are also acting on the bullet. That is Newton’s 3^rd Law of Motion: for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Do you think an inch and a half of JFK’s connective tissue provided enough resistance to stop a metal bullet traveling that was traveling 2000 feet per second?  Of course not.

So, there’s the problem of the rate of deceleration, and there is the problem of the missing bullet bullet.  So, how can we make sense of this?

Well, if the bullet was ice instead of metal, that would explain why there was no bullet. And an ice bullet would also explain why it only traveled an inch and a half. And I say that not because I think it would melt that fast. It’s because ice is hard but also fragile. Ice can burst. It’s happened to me. I can remember it happening when I was a small boy in the mid-1950s. I was digging ice cubes out of a tray, and one of them exploded, leaving nothing but shards. It startled the heck out of me. What happens is that impurities in the water, such as minerals, interfere with the hexagonal crystal lattice structure of the ice, weakening it. Then if stress or pressure is applied, such as digging an ice cube out of a tray, the whole structure can shatter. And an ice bullet could be designed for that to happen.

So, when we consider the enigma of JFK being struck in the back with something that only traveled an inch and a half and then vanished, an ice bullet is the only thing I can think of that could do that.

And we know that such a gun existed. It was referred to as “the heart attack gun” because it could deliver a toxic agent that could mimic a heart attack and kill the victim.  But, it could also deliver other toxins, including paralyzing nerve agents. You should watch the Church Committee inquiry about it from 1975. Here is a 2 minute synopsis:

What about the throat shot? Likewise, no missile was found. There was more damage done. The coils on the left side of his trachea were damaged, and there was a mild contusion in the apex of his right lung. JFK would have required surgery, and it would have taken him several weeks to recover.  Dr. Perry did poke around trying to find a bullet. The reason he looked for one is because he knew there was no exit wound. Of course, he didn’t find any bullet.  

It’s interesting that the diameter of the back wound was 7 mm, while the diameter of the throat wound was 5 mm. I have to laugh because the Single Bullet people have to explain how a bullet could make a hole 7 mm wide going in and only 5 mm wide going out, even though the bullet was pushing tissue along that would be expelled along with the bullet. But, what I take it to mean is that the missile that hit JFK in the throat was different from the missile that hit him in the back.

I believe that Dr. Alen Salerian is right that what caused the throat wound was a dissolvable missile that was fired by Umbrella Man using his umbrella.  We know with absolute certainty that such a weapon existed. The engineer Charles Senseney testified to the HSCA about it, and I read his 20 pages of testimony. He was contracted by the CIA to make an umbrella gun, and he said that he did, and it worked. Here is his testimony:

And speaking of testimonies, that of Louis Witt, who claimed to be Umbrella Man, stinks. He said that he just went out on his usual lunchtime walk that day, not seeking the JFK motorcade. But, he just wound up at the Kill Spot? I don’t believe in coincidences like that, do you? And then, there was his story about carrying the umbrella so that he could taunt JFK with it. Witt actually claimed that he thought that upon seeing him with an umbrella that JFK would think, “he is mocking my father.”  You see, many people, then and now, consider Joseph P Kennedy Sr. a traitor and a Nazi supporter because he sought to prevent World War 2 and met secretly with the German ambassador to the UK to strategize a peace plan. I do not believe that. I think that having seen the insanity of the first World War in which 45 million people died, that he just wanted to prevent another catastrophic world war. But, the thinking, then and today, is that if you tried to prevent World War 2, you were an anti-Semite.  I consider him a hero. But regardless, the idea that in 1963, Kennedy would catch on in seeing someone with an umbrella, that it was meant to mock his father, is preposterous. Also, how did Witt marry his story of just going out for a walk to exercise with mocking JFK? Isn’t that also a contradiction?

So, the guy claiming to be Umbrella Man was an absolute phony. But, it was still a very cunning and conniving thing to do. Who put him up to it? And why would they do such a thing? They were obviously trying to hide the truth about Umbrella Man.

I admit that my mind was closed to it for a very long time too. But now, I believe that Dr. Alen Salerian is right, that Umbrella Man used his gun, that was designed by Charles Senseney, to shoot a dissolvable missile into JFK’s throat.

But, here is the most important thing: There is simply no doubt that JFK was poisoned. We can see it in the Zapruder film. The trauma to his back was so little that you could call it a scratch. No vital tissue was hit. The trauma didn’t incapacitate him physically or mentally.

However, that back shot did incapacitate him, both mentally and neurologically. Whatever was in the ice bullet completely devastated JFK’s mind. He suffered a complete cognitive collapse, losing his ability to speak, to be aware, to communicate in any way, and to understand what was going on. He became totally and completely helpless. It’s like he suddenly became infantile.

But, his mental collapse was only half of it. The other half was his muscular dyskinesia, his tonic muscle spasms that just grew worse as he sat there.  They were not the result of physical trauma. They were the result of a nerve agent.

It is perplexing to me that the medical profession has never reckoned with JFK’s clinical condition in the Zapruder film. Not only haven’t they explained it; they haven’t even acknowledged it. JFK is in a bizarre pathological state, both mentally and neurologically, in the Zapruder film. It is like the elephant in the room that they have all ignored. The idiot Doctor John Lattimer tried to claim that JFK exhibited a “Thorburn position.”  First, that is not a medical term. It is only used in the JFK world. And second, I looked up the 1896 paper that Dr. Thorburn wrote about his patient whose spinal cord was crushed at the level of C5, and it has no relevance to JFK’s condition whatsoever. They had nothing in common at all.  I could expound on it, but I won’t. But, it doesn’t surprise me that we rarely see reference to the “Thorburn position” any more.  It was a cockamamie idea from the start.

But, what is clear as a bell is that JFK shows signs of nerve agent toxicity, and he also exhibited a complete mental collapse. And the physical trauma he incurred to that point can’t possibly explain those phenomena. You can see it plainly in the Zapruder film: JFK’s mental morbidity and his severe muscle spasms. He can’t put his arms down. And mentally, he is completely gone. He has been reduced to an infantile status.

Poor JFK. And poor Jackie. She is trying to get him to relax his arm, but he won’t do it. He just can’t do it.
