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

 So, JFK was shot in the back high on the hill, just a second before the Crofts photo was taken, and they had to massively alter that photo to hide it. But, let's keep going and look at the next photo, which is the Betzner photo.

The first question is: was that guy really there? I have my doubts. It seems like anyone lining up a picture, upon seeing that in their viewfinder, would step around him to remove him from the frame before pressing the shutter.

And look what I found online:

"Hugh Betzner, who took a photo of the Kennedy motorcade on November 22, 1963, said he did not remember a "big man" obstructing his view and that the image appeared unobstructed in his photo."

I'm amazed that a major search engine coughed that up.

But conveniently, JFK is visible, even though he is completely unrecognizable. I have not been able to find any images of him from behind, but I still say that that guy does not look like him. His hair is too long, and it's all swept back. My intuition does not equate him to JFK.

But, I am not suggesting that JFK was shot again. I am sure he wasn't. He was still reacting to the back shot, and the next shot to hit him would be the throat shot.

And notice that he isn't waving. He was not waving in Croft, and he isn't waving here.

We can't see Jackie. Is that why they put the big guy in there? Because if we could see her, I'm sure she would be turned and looking at JFK. In Croft, they dealt with that by replacing her head. So, did they deal with it here by putting the big guy in? Look: the Zapruder film confirms that Jackie was turned and looking at her husband by frame 188. And she didn't take her eyes off him after that. So, she was definitely looking at him in Betzner.

But, there is another convenience thing: the fact that Umbrella Man's umbrella peeps up. But, it is small. In fact, it is too small to be a man's umbrella. It's between the Stemmons Freeway sign and the big man. I think it's art.

So, the big man may have been put in to hide Jackie being turned and looking at her husband, and also to hide Umbrella Man, and whatever he was doing.

Notice that on the right side of the picture, you see all these enthusiastic spectators waving excitedly. How come the people under the Stemmons sign aren't waving? In fact, the people in the midsection, adjacent to the Secret Service car, aren't waving either.

So, under the Thornton sign, they are waving; between the signs they aren't waving, and under the Stemmons sign, they aren't.

How do you account for that difference?

And remember: supposedly, nothing has happened yet.

I'll tell you what I think. It's that they wanted as few people as possible in the Kill Zone. But, I think they wanted to hide its sparsity. So, I think that some of those people, perhaps most of them, were added. And it would have been a lot harder to add waving people than stationary people. So, they settled for stationary people.
