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

David Von Pein did something that most of my adversaries have never done; he actually made a collage of Doorman and Lovelady.

Congratulations, David. But now let's analyze your work. 

The first thing to note, and it has great importance, is that there is another version of that image of Lovelady. 

Quite a difference, wouldn't you say? So, which one was sent to the Warren Commission by J. Edgar Hoover? It depends on who you. If you ask the JFK Lancer people, they say it was the softer Lovelady in shadow directly above. But, if you ask the Mary Ferrell Foundation people, they say it was the harder Lovelady that  you see in DVP's collage. 

I can't state definitively who is right, but my gut feeling is that it was the softer Lovelady: with the softer face and the softer lighting. That's my considered opinion. However, the very fact that two different versions of the picture exist is disturbing. It tells you that they were messing with the picture. 

There are concrete reasons why I think the harsher, brasher Lovelady is the fake one. But, I'll put them aside for now and just deal with DVP's collage. Here it is again:

Obviously, the clothes don't match. And you can say that it's because one was 1963 and the other was 1964. But remember, there is also the controversy about Lovelady's garb on 11/22/63, where the FBI put it in writing TWICE that Lovelady said he wore the short-sleeved striped shirt that you see above. And notice that it's unbuttoned. Why? Because they were photographing him as Doorman, and Doorman's shirt was unbuttoned. Why else would they have had him unbutton his shirt? 

So, the issue of the clothes not correlating is relevant after all, and on that score, Lovelady fails miserably to match Doorman. 

So, the clothes being a mis-match are a complete train wreck for DVP. What about the men? They really don't match very well. The chins, the ears, the eyes, the nose, none of them match very well. 

And wouldn't it be more thorough if we added Oswald to the mix?

First, we note the PERFECT match in clothing between Oswald and Doorman. That counts. That registers. Second, we get the general impression of a lighter frame on Oswald and Doorman and a heavier frame on Lovelady. If you could exclude one to go mano-a-mano against, who would it be? Third, we get a sense about the size of their necks, and there's a much better match between Oswald and Doorman. Lovelady has a thicker neck. He simply looks stockier than Oswald and Doorman, who look to be the same size and the same weight. We see more flared and visible nostrils on Oswald and Doorman. We see less space between the eyes and the eye brows on Oswald and Doorman. The ears are a better match on Oswald and Doorman. The square chins are a decidedly better match between Oswald and Doorman, versus Lovelady's chin being rounder. 

Lovelady looks harder; he looks stockier; and he looks fuller in the face than Oswald or Doorman. 

Lovelady's hair is a pretty good match to Doorman, while Oswald's hair doesn't match Doorman's at all. But was that really Lovelady's hair? This is also an image of Lovelady from 1964, and it's one we can rely on because it came from Mark Lane:

This tells me that they faked that hairline on FBI Lovelady to make it match Doorman's. The truth is: they tailored Doorman's hairline to Young Lovelady's, and then they tailored FBI Lovelady's hairline to Doorman's. Oh, what a tangled web they wove....

So, the bottom line is, David Von Pein, that you made a submission, and that's good, but you didn't win with it. Oswald won, which is to say: we won. And that is the plain truth of the matter.
