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

Other mothers have lost a son under tragic and horrific circumstances. They may and likely do have pictures of their son on the wall, but not pictures relating to his tragic life and death. They put up pictures of him from happy times, which probably still elicit emotional pain, but at least she can look at them. But, she certainly wouldn't hang images like these, of her son battered by police and made to look deranged. 

This is sick and twisted. It is perverse that she would hang such images. Marguerite was apparently reveling in the fact that she was the celebrity mother of the most famous assassin in the history of assassins. 

Even the image from the Marines on the left is suspect. It was taken early in his career, perhaps soon after he enlisted or perhaps after he completed boot camp. But, Oswald didn't take it, and I doubt that he asked anyone to take it. It was probably taken by the Marines, perhaps for his file. Look how bland the background is. It doesn't look like a recreational photo. 

So, did the Marines give Oswald a copy that he passed along to his mother?  I doubt it. That doesn't sound like something the Marines would do. I'm not sure it's even something Oswald would want to do. So, how did Marguerite get it? Any images of him that were passed along after his death would have gone to his wife not his mother. 

The middle picture is a highly cropped version of this one:

That's the same image, and it's the same one from which the third image, which was art, was modeled on:

For some reason, the artist reduced his clothing to a t-shirt. But, it's based entirely on the photo above with his hands cuffed, so essentially, Marguerite hung the same picture twice: once in the form of a photo and the other in the form of art. 

But, if she got his head big enough in the middle photo to fill up that frame...

...how big must the whole photo have been since that's just a small part of it? Was it as big as a desk? It had to have been. So, where did she get such a thing? It was just a press photo. They weren't given away. There was no store where you could buy them. And why would she want any photos of her son displayed which show him in this hellish situation just two days before he was killed? Why would she want to be constantly reminded of that?

I have a beloved aunt who lost her oldest son, my cousin, to cancer a year ago March. And she has many photos of him on her walls. But, they are all images of him from happy times, from healthy times, from his childhood, his sporting endeavors, his college days, from joyful times with his children, etc. There are no pictures on her walls of him dying of cancer. 

This is macabre. And for goodness sake: for as long as this picture has been around, how come nobody brought it up before how abnormal this is? I'll tell you why. It's because it's from the JFK assassination, and the JFK assassination exists within its own world; it's own sicked, twisted, demented world. And people are so used to it that they have come to expect abnormal stuff and abnormal behavior in connection with the JFK assassination. 

I don't know who this Marguerite Oswald really was but I do know that she was a warped and twisted old woman who did not have the slightest maternal instincts for Lee Harvey Oswald. She was not his mother. Repeat: she was NOT the biological mother of the Lee Harvey Oswald of fame.
