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

You know, I really have to laugh about this, and that's because it really is such a farce. We have 3 movies, all supposedly showing the same few seconds of footage, and yet they're very different.

Think about the context, and I'll put it in perspective for you:

Immediately after the assassination, there were people from all over the world who saw the Altgens photo and thought they saw Oswald. But, there was no Internet back then, so there was no way for anyone to network about it or make a racket about it- the way we can today.  

Authorities NEVER released any images of Lovelady. The FBI took some photos of him which they sent to the Warren Commission, but the WC did NOT include them in the Warren Report or in the accompanying 25 volumes of evidence. So, Lovelady's images never got published. They were left among the 50,000 pages of "Documents" to which the general public had no access.

So, how did the general public find out? It's mainly thanks to Harold Weisberg, who wrote about it in Photographic Whitewash which came out in 1966. Weisberg screamed bloody murder that Lovelady actually wore a short-sleeved, striped shirt, and he published the FBI letter about it and the FBI photos of him to prove it.  

But, that was 1966, and nobody was squawking about it in 1964, and that's when Four Days and A Year Ago Today were first broadcast. And I'm here to tell you that, when they were first broadcast, NOBODY WAS SEATED AT THAT DESK.  

But, my point is that since nobody was squawking in 1964, there was no reason for any editor to give any special attention to those few seconds of footage. 

Why should they have? It was just men, including Oswald, passing through a room. They didn't even get to anything- just another room, which was apparently empty. So then, they put Oswald into another empty room, where he supposedly waited for Fritz and the FBI boys (Hosty and Bookout) to show up. 

So, why in 1964 would editors pour over those few seconds of footage, slicing and dicing it more ways than you can make chicken salad for Sunday dinner? Doesn't it seem more likely that they would just leave the damn thing the way it was? How could you possibly wind up with as much divergence as this from one small piece of footage?

In the Wolper film above, notice that nobody notices or reacts to Lovelady. They just walk right by him like he wasn't there. If you tried to picture what it would look like without him in it, it would look exactly the same. You wouldn't have to alter anthing. Nobody syncs on him- not even for a split-second. Not even a glance. Not even a head snap. Nothing. It's like he wasn't there. He wasn't!

It's just bull shit- more JFK assassination bull shit, of which there is plenty. Lovelady was never at that fucking desk, which was really just a supply table. He was never in that room. It was the inner sanctum of the homicide detectives. They didn't bring people there to make statements. 

Lovelady was part of a group of witnesses who were brought there from Dealey Plaza to make statements. But, he was just a guy who was on the steps who didn't see anything but heard the sound of what he thought were firecrackers. And that's it. How much thought would they have given to him? Do you really think they separated him out from all the rest and brought him there to the nerve center? It's ridiculous.

You saw the tight maze it was to get Oswald back there. Do you really think they led Lovelady through that?

So, right before they wove Oswald through all that maze, they led Lovelady through it? 

The whole thing is absurd. It's preposterous. This is JFK film fakery at its most heinous. LOVELADY WAS NEVER AT THAT DESK.
