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

 The throat shot entered Kennedy in the midline, but it damaged only the coils on the left side of his trachea. The right side of his trachea was undamaged. That tells us that it was an angular shot that came from the north side of Elm Street. It had an angular trajectory from JFK's right to his left. That's the only way it could enter center and do damage on the left.  

Those who think it came from Commerce Street are wrong because the only way that could have damaged the left side of his trachea was if it entered the left side of his throat. But, it didn't enter the left side. It entered at the midline but then moved leftward on him, meaning left from his perspective. And it wasn't taken from in front of him, say from the bridge, because that shot would have hit him squarely and gone straight into him. But, that didn't happen either. 

So, the shot went from his right to his left, after entering center, which means that it had to come from the north side of Elm. 

If you look at yourself in the mirror, with your head in a neutral position, neither raised nor lowered, you'll see that your chin covers the upper part of your throat. It's only the lower part of the throat that is accessible, from the Adam's apple down. It's a distance of about 2 inches. But, he was hit at the lower part of the lower part of his throat, that is, at the bottom of his throat. And we shouldn't assume that that was accidental. That was the target. And such a small target could only have been hit from very close-up. 

So, the throat shot had to come from North Elm and from close to the limo. It's widely agreed that the Willis frame was taken right before the throat shot, just a second before.. Of course, it's usually claimed that it was right before the Single Bullet that went through his back and throat, but that is a lie. JFK was shot in the back high on the hill when the limo was still adjacent to the TSBD. And he rode down the hill reacting only to the back shot. But notice that JFK is turned to his right. So, he was in the perfect position to take the shot from Umbrella Man that would enter center and travel left, damaging the left side of his trachea. 

Now, I realize that in the photo, Umbrella Man is standing calmly beneath his umbrella, not doing anything. But, I'm telling you that that imagery is fake. Notice that it does not look photographic. It is so crude and blurry, it could easily be art, and I mean crappy art. Witnesses said that Umbrella Man pointed his umbrella at Kennedy. The word "pumped": was used. They said he pumped it at Kennedy. It took months for the FBI to return this photo to Congressman Willis.  The Betzner photo was taken at practically the same time, and that's the one with a big obstructive figure of a man occupying the left side of the photo. Betzner said afterwards that there was no one in front of him blocking his view. I believe they put that guy in there to hide Umbrella Man who was shooting at Kennedy at the time. But, in this Willis frame, they painstakingly redid it with paint. 

But, my point is that the trajectory of the throat wound- from center to left- tells us that it came from Kennedy's right. It came from the north side of Elm. It came from Umbrella Man.
