In 3 days, it will be the 61st anniversary of JFK's murder. The most important thing to realize about it is that Oswald didn't do it, and he was standing in the doorway of the Book Depository at the time.

The Gorilla Man clip was reenacted long after the assassination, perhaps 2 years later. Gorilla Man was not Lovelady, and Lovelady was not there at the time. Lovelady said that he left the entrance before Baker even reached the steps. In his WC testimony, he said that he had already walked 20 to 25 steps, and then turned around, and saw Baker and Truly climbing the steps in route to their fateful encounter with Oswald in the 2nd floor lunch room. So, Lovelady could not have been there 10 minutes after the shooting, when the Gorilla Man clip supposedly happened.
Billy Lovelady had protruding ears, which you can see in this photo by Mark Lane on the left. Of course, Oswald didn't have protruding ears, and neither did Doorman. Their ears look identical because they were the same man. But, Billy Lovelady was among the 3% who have protruding ears.

The question of how Clint Hill was able to jump off the Queen Mary and then catch up to the Presidential limo has been in dispute. I maintain that the limo must have stopped or very nearly stopped. And of course, we don't see that in any film.
The Secret Service admitted to slowing to 15 mph, but they never admitted going slower than that. But, if Clint Hill had jumped off a vehicle going 15 mph, he would have had to roll. That's because his direction in deboarding would not have been the same as the direction that his body was going from being on the moving car. So, as soon as he landed, his body would have kept going in the direction that it was going. And that would have caused him to tumble.
And remember he was a Secret Service agent; not a circus stunt performer.
And I'm not saying that he did tumble. Of course, he didn't. I'm saying that the cars had stopped or very nearly stopped.
But, Stephen Smith claimed, in a comment to me, that both the Zapruder film and the Nix film show Hill jumping off the Queen Mary.
They do not. The Zapruder film just shows him reaching the limo and climbing up it. And I should think that everyone should know that by now after all the times we've watched it. Here he is in frame 333 reaching it. By the time it gets to this, the Queen Mary is long out of view.
We see him a couple frames before that, but that's it. We certainly don't see him jumping off the Queen Mary.
So, that statement of Stephen Smith was false. What about the Nix film? We don't see Hill jump off the Queen Mary there either. and what they did to introduce him was very tricky and sneaky. I'll go through it frame by frame.
So, that's frame 22, and I put MM to indicate Mary Moorman. Notice how non-photographic she looks. She looks like very crude art. And it gets worse from there.
So, this is frame 25, and now Mary looks practically headless. Maybe she is completely headless. Regardless, it is not a photographic image, even for the 1960s.
In frame 27, for the first time, the head of Clint Hill peeks out. So, his head is at the same height as Mary's, but he is deep to her, and slightly in front of her. I put an arrow above the head of Clint Hill. Now, why would his head be as low as that? He was a very tall man, and she was a very short woman. Here is Clint Hill in the Willis image.
So, he was tall, and he was standing tall. So why again, would his head be at the same level as Mary Moorman's?
But continuing, he starts his trek.
Now, he's putting some space between him and Mary, whom we can still see. But, he is still no higher than she is. And she was a very, very short woman.
Now, in frame 37, I don't see Mary at all. I think she's gone for good. And I have circled him, as he makes his way towards the limo, apparently moving faster than the motorcycles as well.
This is frame 44, and he has reached the back of the limo.
In 52, he seems to be up on the limo.
But then, in 58, he's back down on the ground.
Then, jumping to 79, his right foot is still on the ground.
Finally, in 91, he's up for keeps. Notice that the limo has left the motorcycles behind. So, it sped up much more than they did.
But, the point is that we certainly don't see Clint Hill deboarding the Queen Mary, as Stephen Smith claimed. And the weird blending of Clint Hill and Mary Moorman looks like chicanery to me. And if you watch it all at speed, then it really looks like the two of them are one, and he just grew out of her. To capture these frames, I had to slow the film down to 25% speed. It's a good thing we can do that on Youtube.
But, watch it yourself, and be sure to watch the part on Houston Street first because the film looks photographic there. It's not until it gets to the Kill Zone that it looks like crappy art. There is a big qualitative difference between the two. And it was the same camera and the same film! There is no excuse for it.

I tell you that at the speed that the limo appears to be going, there is no way that Clint Hill could have caught up with it. Maybe Usain Bolt in his prime could have caught up with it, but I doubt that Clint Hill could have.
And at that speed, there is no way he could have deboarded the Queen Mary, and just instantly started running. I think it's very unlikely he could have even stayed on his feet. As soon as he planted his foot on the ground, his forward momentum would have caused him to fall. He had no break. I and the Laws of Physics say he would have rolled.
On the right is Lovelady posing for Robert Groden in 1976- as if he wore that flashy plaid shirt on 11/22/63. But, Lovelady lost a lot of weight after the assassination. He looks slender in this picture. The FBI weighed and measured him on February 29, 1964 and found him to be 5'8" 170 pounds, and I suspect he weighed more than that on 11/22; from losing weight from all the stress he was under. But regardless, he could not have been more than 150 in 1976, and maybe even just 145.

On the left, Billy Lovelady was posing as Doorman, but he got it wrong. He was clasping his hands behind his back, while Oswald had the habit of clasping his hands in front of his body. He was doing it in the doorway and also at the DPD after his arrest.

Lovelady NEVER said that he was Doorman. Right away, the FBI said he said he was Doorman. But, there’s a big difference between that and putting him in front of a sea of microphones to say it. Why did the FBI have to speak for him? Wasn’t this important enough for him to speak for himself?
Then, in February, the FBI
photographed him wearing the striped short-sleeved shirt with the button
undone. The reason he unbuttoned his shirt is because Doorman's shirt was
unbuttoned, and he recreating Doorman.
You need to understand that they were trying
to recreate Doorman in the Altgens photo, and it would have been pointless
unless he was wearing Doorman's clothes. And those were the clothes he told them he
wore on 11/22.
But, what about the disconnect between
Lovelady’s clothes and Doorman’s? Lovelady surely was aware of it, but he was
just following orders. The two FBI agents who were in charge, and they just
overlooked it. It just sailed right over their heads. Maybe they had something
else on their mind. They surely weren't thinking.
Then came Lovelady's Warren Commission
testimony. Wasn’t that the time for him to come clean and say that he was
Doorman? But, he didn't, and Joseph Ball NEVER asked him directly. He never
pointed to Doorman and asked, "Who is this?"
But, Ball did that with Frazier. He
pointed to Doorman and asked, "Who is this?. Here is the testimony.
Mr. BALL - We have got a picture taken
the day of the parade and it shows the President's car going by. Now, take a
look at that picture. Can you see your picture any place there?
Mr. FRAZIER - No, sir; I don't,
because I was back up in this more or less black area here. Mr. BALL - I see.
Mr. FRAZIER - Because Billy, like I
say, is two or three steps down in front of me.
Mr. BALL - Do you recognize this
fellow?
Mr. FRAZIER - That is Billy, that is
Billy Lovelady.
Mr. BALL - Billy?
Mr. FRAZIER – Right.
Mr. BALL - Let's take a marker and
make an arrow down that way. That mark is Billy Lovelady? Mr. FRAZIER - Right.
There, Frazier said he was "back
up in the black area." Then shortly afterwards, he said he was "one
step down from the top of the steps." But, that's just one contradiction.
First, he said that Billy was two or three steps down in front of himself. That
means Billy could not have been Doorman because Doorman was standing on the top
level.
Ball must have pointed to Doorman when
he asked, "Do you recognize this fellow?" So, when Frazier said he
was Lovelady, why didn't Ball come back with, "But, I thought you said
Billy was 2 or 3 steps down on in front of you?"
But, Ball didn't reply that way. He
was just trying to get what he needed from Frazier and probably realized he was,
mentally, a basket case.
And why was Frazier in such bad
condition mentally? I have to wonder if they were drugging him.
But, this certainly establishes that
Ball asked Frazier directly who Doorman was. It's what he wanted to know, so he
asked.
But, why didn't Ball do the same with
Lovelady? He didn't.
Mr. BALL - I have got a picture here,
Commission Exhibit 369. Are you on that picture?
Mr. LOVELADY - Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL - Take a pen or pencil and
mark an arrow where you are.
Mr. LOVELADY - Where I thought the
shots are?
Mr. BALL - No; you in the picture.
Mr. LOVELADY - Oh, here (indicating).
Mr. BALL - Draw an arrow down to that;
do it in the dark. You got an arrow in the dark and one in the white pointing
toward you. Where were you when the picture was taken?
Mr. LOVELADY - Right there at the
entrance of the building standing on the step, would be here (indicating).
Mr. BALL - You were standing on which
step?
Mr. LOVELADY - It would be your top
level.
Mr. BALL - The top step you were
standing there? Mr. LOVELADY - Right.
So, why didn't Ball do the same with
Lovelady as he did with Frazier? Why didn't he point to Doorman and ask,
"Who is this?" Or, he could have asked, "Is this you?" Or,
he could have said, "Point to yourself in the photo." Any of those
would have worked. But, Ball instead went the non-verbal route, asking Lovelady
to draw an arrow to himself, WITHOUT SAYING IT.
Why not say it first, and then draw
the arrow? Why skip verbal communication and go right to arrow-drawing?
IT'S BECAUSE BALL DIDN'T KNOW WHAT
LOVELADY WAS GOING TO SAY. Apparently, he had been warned that Lovelady was
balking about being Doorman. So, having him draw an arrow instead was a safety
precaution.
And note that Ball told Lovelady to draw
his arrow IN THE DARK. Realize that
"dark" was another word for "black" and the writing
instrument was also black. So, it was black on black, which would have been
barely visible at all. Why did Ball do
that? It's because he was scared of what Lovelady might do.
And, the fact is that Lovelady drew
his arrow to Black Hole Man, the man who was visoring his eyes with his hands,
though his head is missing. But fortunately, his arrow registered a little on
the arm of Black Hole Man, so we can see it. I’m attaching it.
So, the big arrow in this photo is
Frazier's arrow, and that tiny little black mark on the forearm of Black Hole
Man is the tail of Lovelady's arrow.
Fast forward to 1967 and the CBS JFK
Special., They paid for Lovelady to return to Dallas from Colorado where he had
moved with his family. Even though Lovelady had worked for $1.11/hr at the
TSBD, and couldn't pay a $75 fine he owed in Maryland in January 1963, Lovelady
had the money to start his own freight hauling company in Colorado. CBS had
planned a big segment on Doorman, including an extensive interview of Lovelady.
They did the interview. But, because of how it came out, they not only trashed
the interview; they trashed the whole segment. Not a word was said about
Doorman. It was all buried.
Fast forward to 1976 and the HSCA. The
HSCA didn't want to talk to Lovelady either. The word was out about him.
Instead they sent their lawyer Ken Brooten along with Robert Grodin to go talk
to him in Colorado. Lovelady must have begged Brooten not to force him to go to
Washington. Keep in mind that Brooten subpoenaed a great many people. But, in
Lovelady's case, he not only didn't subpoena him, he quit his job as HSCA
lawyer to become Lovelady's lawyer.
But, why did Lovelady need a lawyer?
He wasn't under indictment for anything. He wasn't being accused of a crime. He
wasn't being threatened with arrest. So, why did he need a lawyer? And why
would Brooten quit his job to be his lawyer? Have you ever heard of anything so
weird? For a government lawyer to quit his job to become the lawyer of a
witness in the investigation he formerly was running?
But, that kept Lovelady from having to
go to Washington to say that he was Doorman. And then, when the HSCA Final
Report came out in January 1979, Lovelady conveniently died a few days before
of a fatal first heart attack at the age of 41.
So, how many times, in total, did
Lovelady say that he was Doorman? I don't mean someone else saying that he said
it. That's what you call hearsay, and it's not even allowed in court. I mean
where we can see and hear Lovelady saying that he was Doorman.
The answer is zero. It never happened.
And the fact is that Lovelady spent the rest of his life running away from his
Doorman nightmare.
He died rich. His wife Patricia
inherited not only the trucking business, but vast real estate holdings throughout
Colorado. Yeah, he went far for a guy who was making $1.11 an hour at the
TSBD,. But, what a miserable life. Even if he had as much money as Elon Musk, I'd
still pity him. Lovelady did not want to lie about being Doorman, and it surely
anguished him every day for the rest of his life.
Billy Nolan Lovelady was NOT Doorman.
Lee Harvey Oswald was, and he told the police that he was “out with Bill Shelley in front.” He could
only have known that if he had been there himself, in the doorway.
