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

Posing for pictures in the Texas wildflowers: it's a Springtime tradition in Texas. And this year, the wildflowers are especially abundant because we've had a wet Spring. There are numerous big patches of bluebonnets and Indian paintbrush all over town, and everywhere, you see families out taking pictures.

And it often involves holding a child for the picture. How do you think that's done? Well, here's an example:

   
This is typical of how it's done. Several things are going on here. The woman is leaning to the opposite side that the child is on, which is called counterbalance. The girl is essentially sitting on her mother, and she is leaning the opposite direction, and you can see how the two of them form a v. In addition, the girl is straddling her mother. You see the one leg going in front of her, and you know the other leg is going behind her. The woman's left arm is securing the girl, but essentially, the girl's weight is being added to her weight. That is, the woman's left arm is mainly cinching the girl to her side, as in keeping her from falling. In addition, for extra security, the girl is holding on to the mother's tank top with her left hand. Her right arm, which we can't see, is probably braced against the mother's back. So, there is multi-faceted support going on here to keep that girl aboard. 

But, what about in this case?

In this case, the mother is supposedly holding the boy, not just for a few seconds to take a picture, but to watch a motorcade. And she's not leaning at all, and neither is he. So, there is no counterbalance going on. And, he is obviously not straddling her, so he isn't sitting on her side like the girl was doing. And that means his body weight isn't being transferred to her's. Nope, if she is holding him, she has got to be doing it with the strength of her right arm alone and nothing else. And every second that ticks away, he is getting heavier and heavier and heavier as her left arm fatigues. And, she's already been holding him for a while because surely she picked him up before the President reached them, and at this point, his slow-moving limo is down the hill. And he is not holding on to her with either arm either. We can see that his right arm is down, and because his shoulders are level, we know that his left arm is down too. It's not going around his mother. If it were, it would change his whole orientation, and he wouldn't look like he does. If she is holding him, then she has got to be Superwoman to be doing it the way she seems to be doing it. And not only that, but he has got to be Superboy to be able to remain so balanced and vertical. They are a wonder. 

But, in reality, she can't be holding him, and that makes his elevation (note that his head is higher than hers) inexplicable. They are a bogus image. They were added to the Algens photo to cover up the man in the Fedora hat, who was probably Jack Ruby. If he wasn't Jack Ruby, then he was somebody else in a Fedora hat whom they wanted to cover up. No other names come to mind, so I am operating under the assumption that he was Jack Ruby. And remember that Jack was EVERYWHERE: at Parkland Hospital, at the Dallas PD (he even corrected Police Chief Jesse Curre who misstated the name "Fair Play for Cuba" but Jack straightened him out), at the homicide division, at the Midnight Press Conference. He was there again on Saturday, and of course, he was there on Sunday for the prisoner transfer. So, do you really think Jack Ruby was not in Dealey Plaza? Of course, he was, and that is probably him.
