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

I was wondering what the Idiot Backes would say.

He starts by saying that I can't be sure that the hand belongs to the man in the hat.

First, it doesn't even matter. You know it's not the hand of someone on the other side of the car. Right? So, what difference does it make whether it's his hand or that of someone in front of him whom we can't see?

It makes not the smallest iota of difference, which leads me to my followup question: Why do you have to be so fucking stupid, Backes? Couldn't they get somebody smarter to do this? 

So, you'd rather say it's the hand of someone else in front of him? Alright. Fine. Have it your own way. It's not worth arguing about. Make it someone else's hand. Therefore, "someone else" has got his hand covered by Jacqueline Kennedy's wrist. Happy?

And, it's not that the fingers look short, Backes. It's that they are short. The hand doesn't even look anatomical.

It's true that it's only a partial hand, but only from side to side. It's not true in the dimension of wrist to fingertips. What could be obstructing the view of it in that dimension? Certainly not Jackie; she's on the other side of the car. So, what else could be covering up any part of that hand in its length? 

So, now you want to play the "out of focus" card? 

Well, here's an out of focus hand. It's still a whole hand.

And that's it. The Stupid Backass had no other retorts. 

You struck out, Backass. Again.

Seriously, isn't there someone smarter than you that they can send in? Look into it, will you?

And in the meantime, feast your eyes on this, with that phony light blue seatback, which was actually black. You want to play the "reflection card" on that one, do you? And there's Jackie weaving her forearm over that person's hand who is on one side of the car and then behind the window on the other side of the car. Then, in the background, there is a little girl who is obviously sitting on something, as she is in a perfect sitting position, yet there is nothing for her to be sitting on, and the woman next to her could not possibly be holding her. And then they speak of  "The Conspiracy Industry" and in that context "industry" is not a good term; it is a pejorative one.  But, we can be sure of one thing: Joseph Backes is on their side, and he does their bidding every day.
