Let's look at just one simple thing: Lovelady's plaid shirt and the ways it changed over the years. 

We'll start in 1963 in the Squad room.



Here, his shirt is furling stiffly on both sides and the shape of the shirt sprawl is rectangular. And that is weird because, according to physics, the sprawl starts at the highest secured button and then spreads out on both sides. So, that button acts like a pivot point. Hence, the opening is triangular. It may not be perfectly triangular, but it's bound to be largely triangular. A rectangular opening on a shirt with buttons that is partially unbuttoned is impossible. And, it certainly isn't the same as what we see on Doorman.


 Those are NOT the same spread. And why shouldn't they be the same? All that happened is an hour and a half passed. That's it. Nothing else. So, why don't they look the same? But, let's move on to the next Lovelady, chronologically speaking: 


Above is 1967 Lovelady, taken for the CBS Special on the JFK assassination. They didn't actually use it. They were planning to, but at the last minute, someone decided it would be better not to say a word about the Doorman controversy. Smart move, as they had much more to lose than to gain by talking about it. 

I actually obtained that image from Robin Unger, except that it was flipped: left to right flipped, a mirror image. I had to unflip it myself. There are a lot of flipped images with the JFK assassination. Have you noticed that? Tell me, has there ever been a historical event with more flipped images than the JFK assassination? I rather doubt it. 

Notice that his shirt has a proper triangular-shaped sprawl. Now that's more like it. But this time, there is no stiff furl. Compare to before:


That is quite a contrast in the way the shirts are behaving. Can you think of any reason why it would be so different just from 4 years passing? Mrs. Lovelady said that she stored the shirt in a safe the whole time. But, let's move on.



This is the 1971 Lovelady as taken by Robert Jackson. It's in the doorway of the TSBD. Again, we are seeing a triangular sprawl, as we should. And it's making that first rectangular sprawl on DeNiro Lovelady all the more suspicious. But here, we're back to finding a long furl on his left, our right. It's furling much less on the other side. Lovelady looks heavier here, and the shirt looks small and tight on him. What a contrast to Doorman.



Quite a difference, I'd say. From swimming to bursting. Lovelady packed on weight on the right compared to skinny Oswald on the left. It's too bad they stuck that Roy Lewis figure in there since he's covering up part of Oswald's shirt. And they definitely stuck Roy Lewis in there. Roy Lewis was not positioned there- he was over against the west wall. And he wasn't turned that way- he was turned the other way: towards the west where the action was. But, at least we're back to seeing a triangular-shaped sprawl on Lovelady. 

Finally, we'll look at Groden Lovelady from 1976:


Once again the sprawl is triangular, as it should be. And here, instead of a furl, there is a neat fold, one that's been ironed over neatly on both sides. It's like he was going to the square dance or the hootenaney. He definitely didn't do that the morning of November 22 when he went to work to lay flooring. This was definitely a contrived posing shot for the camera, and again, it looks nothing like Doorman. 


So, what we are left with is serious doubt about the rectangular spread of DeNiro Lovelady, which doesn't appear in any other image of Lovelady, and not in any other image period- of anybody. And we are left with not a single example in which Lovelady's sprawl looks anything like Doorman's. It's never as large as Doorman's. It's never shaped like Doorman's. And it's never as spacious as Doorman's. It's just not the same. 

Notice that we don't see any buttons on Doorman's shirt as we do on Lovelady's. That's because Oswald's buttons were missing. It's why it was unbuttoned. What reason would Lovelady have had to have his shirt so unbuttoned when the President of the United States drove by? He wouldn't have. But, Oswald had no choice.

But, the worst comparison to Doorman is the first alleged shot of Lovelady after the assassination. 


You just don't have any sprawl at all on Lovelady on the right. It is in stark contrast to Doorman on the left. The idea that they could be the same man minutes apart is just plain stupid. It is preposterous. It is insane. 

Now, if you want to get to sprawls that match, you've got to go to Oswald and Doorman.


There's reality for you. Same man. Same day. Same shirt. And it's never going to go away. 

Stop the lies. Oswald outside.
