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

 Do you realize that the first telling of the JFK narrative did not include the fatal head shot?

I am referring to the November 29, 1963 LIFE magazine, which has many frames from the Zapruder film. However, it does not include 313. Nor does it include JFK getting shot in the back high on the hill. There are just 2 frames of the limo before it jumps to 225, and those 2 frames are ones before Jackie turned her head to look at him.

The narrative implies that the “awful moment” occurred when he was invisible behind the sign, and they did not describe what happened. They just said that he clutched at his throat. Then, they claimed that Connally was struck (from a separate bullet) in the 230s.

Then, they claimed that Jackie became aware that something was wrong at 264, and that is ridiculous. And it was such an arbitrary lie because she was just as focused on him in 263, 262, 261, etc.

It then said that the President collapsed on her shoulder, and she cradled him in her arms. That is a lie.  What the film shows is him being struck in his right temple sending him veering “back and to the left.” He was like a ballistic missile flying at her, and what happened is that her reflexes caused her to evade him. You can see it in 315.

There was no thought involved. It happened too fast. It was strictly reflexes, like removing your hand from a hot stove. But, after she evaded him, she went back to him. And then she did her trek onto the trunk.

So, they excluded the first shot, which was the back shot. And they covered up the second shot, which was the throat shot, with the phony sign.  

And in this case, they didn’t want us to see, or even know about the third shot to hit Kennedy either, the fatal head shot. So, in this version, they only claimed 2 shots: one for Kennedy and one for Connally. But, James Tague was already known about. They didn’t mention him or the shot that missed, but they saved a bullet for it.

But, why didn’t they mention the fatal head shot? Was it just because they didn’t have a spare bullet for it? Or was it because it was a frontal shot? Perhaps it was both. But remember that this was before the Single Bullet Theory was concocted. Once they came up with that, it freed a bullet for the fatal head shot and left one for Tague.

Then, on October 2, 1964, LIFE changed the story a lot. They claimed the Single Bullet for Kennedy and Connally. And they published 313, with the red cloud, and they claimed that JFK was hit in the back of the head and it blew out his right temple. But, that can’t be right. JFK had a blow-out wound in the right posterior of his head, which all the Parkland medical staff demonstrated with their hands. There was no blow-out wound at the right temple, but that is what they claimed. And I don’t believe the red cloud is real.  

But, I want someone to tell me why Americans are so obtuse. Why, in 1964, when LIFE showed them 313, didn’t they scream, “Why didn’t you show us that in November 1963? How dare you exclude it?”

So, why did they include it? And why did they change their mind? If they made the decision not to include it in 1963, why did they reverse that decision and include it in 1964? I think the answer is that, with the Single Bullet Theory, they had a bullet to give to it. And their story was that the temple wound was not an entrance wound but an exit wound; hence the need for a blow-out there.

But, this conflicts with the autopsy, which stated that the blow-out wound was 13 cm at its longest diameter (which is over 5 inches). It said that the defect involved mostly the parietal bone, but also the temporal and occipital bones.

The autopsy also described a smaller wound in back, to the right and slightly above the external occipital protuberance. They didn’t state that it was the entrance wound, but that seems to be what is implied. However, LIFE magazine brazenly claimed in October 1964 that what 313 shows is a blow-out wound of the front of Kennedy’s head. They said, in plain English, that “the front part of his head exploded.” Of course, that is not true. It was the back of his head that exploded.

But again, the autopsy report was included in the Warren Report, which came out at the same time. So, why didn’t anybody scream Bloody Murder about the contradiction?

LIFE magazine was just a lackey for the CIA and the FBI. What explains all these discrepancies is simply that the United States government killed John F. Kennedy. That is the alarming and nightmarish truth.
