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

The active members of the OIC are really coming out in support of the Lovelady arrow thesis. Now Richard Hooke has made this chart about it, and it is very good. Remember that Richard had a hand in its discovery because it was only because he insisted that BH Man was Lovelady that I looked for his arrow there in the first place.  

And, I agree with Richard that the odds are great that somebody (whether Ball or someone else) took a black felt pen and smeared through the rest of Lovelady's arrow in the black space. And when they did it, they might as well have been firing another round into John Kennedy. The magnitude of the evil involved in this is at the highest extreme of human wickedness. 

Richard makes a vital point: Lovelady INDICATED where his arrow was going BEFORE he drew it. So, Ball knew where it was going. And it was after gaining that knowledge that Ball instructed Lovelady to draw his arrow in the dark so that it wouldn't be readily seen and could very easily be neutralized. 

The irony is that our opponents, such as David Von Pein, have tried to use this testimony to bolster their claim that Lovelady drew his arrow to Doorman, but in fact, it makes much more sense to interpret the testimony as Richard does. Joseph Ball was just a slick CIA lawyer who thought fast on his feet to get himself out of a very sticky situation. 

What if Lovelady had shouted out loud, "I wasn't Doorman! Oswald was!" They would have left it out of the transcript and sworn everyone there to silence. Look: they were going to come up with the result they wanted, no matter what. If you don't realize that, then you are completely in the dark about the Warren Commission and what it was about.
