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

The issue of Toni Glover is a major problem- an incongruity- in the JFK image record. 

In a nutshell: there are three film images of her and her mother (in Dorman, Bell, and Hughes) where in Dorman, they are on the grass along Houston Street far from Elm, but in Bell and Hughes, they are atop the pedestal, which is at the corner of Elm and Houston. 

Notice that you see the motorcycle escorts approaching, and directly across from the Glovers is the blue Presidential limo. This was shortly after they made the turn from Main. If you watch the film, you'll see that the motorcade has quite a ways to go before it reaches Elm and starts making the turn. So, this is not where the pedestal was, and I don't see them as being on a pedestal. We can't see their feet, but don't they look like they are at ground level? In the films with them on the pedestal, they are towering high above the crowd below, but they don't seem to be towering above anyone here. If you just saw the picture without any back story, wouldn't you just assume that they were standing on the grass? Here is view of the corner with the pedestal. 

The pedestal is essentially at the corner, but in the film, from where you see the Glovers, the motorcade continues going straight for a long way before it gets to the corner and starts making the turn. Note that you cannot tell in the black and white image above, but there is no grass in front of the pedestal. There is concrete in front of the pedestal.

So, if they were standing on the pedestal, they would have concrete in front of them and water behind them. Is that how it looks?

Here's the link to the Dorman film. At second 20, you see the limo making the turn from Houston. At second 26, you see the Glovers, and not until second 33 does the limo make the turn to Elm. So, that's 7 seconds after the Glovers before you see the motorcade start to turn.

Let's move on to the other two films.

So, this would be 7 or 8 seconds later, and now Toni and her mother are atop the pedestal and facing Elm. Notice that Toni appears to holding on for dear life. In Dorman, she was separate from her mother and waving her arms above her head excitedly, which suggests that she was on solid ground at the time. Don't people tend to be still and guarded when they are on a high perch? I don't see her getting flamboyant up there. 

Here is the link to the Bell film. You only see them for two seconds, from second 37 to second 38.

I find it very strange that the mother would be in front. She was taller. Don't you always give the child the advantage? the better view? Plus, from the safety standpoint, wouldn't it be better if the mother was behind securing the child? This seems opposite to how it should be. Toni should be in front with her mother behind her embracing her.

If I'm right that they were on the grass on Houston Street seconds before, then how did they get up on that pedestal so fast?

I just don't see a middle-aged woman climbing up there. A kid, yes, but not a middle-aged woman. And I'm not saying she couldn't; I'm saying she wouldn't.  I've been there, and it's pretty darn high, and there is nothing to hold on to. As you're rising up to vertical, you'd have nothing to hold on to for stability and balance. Would your Mom have done that? I can guarantee you mine wouldn't have. 

Now, let's move on to Hughes:

Now, Toni Glover seems to be elevated like the Virgin Mary ascending up to Heaven. You can barely see the mother, but if you look closely, she's there. You can see her light-colored hair above Toni's darker hair. They are smack-dab in front of the center of the doorway where Doorman is in the Wiegman film.

  
That Wiegman frame came just a few seconds later. And of course, I am telling you that that is Oswald in the doorway. So, you can either believe that he was hovering above the black guy next to the west wall in Hughes and then scurried up to the center in time for Wiegman OR you can believe, as I do, that the Doorman figure in Hughes is fake. He does look like a cartoon.

So, I figure they used Toni to hide Oswald, and then, to distract and mislead, they stuck a fake Doorman in there. But getting back to Toni, look how massive she looks. Look how broad she looks. Here is the comparison to Bell.

On the left, does she look like an 11 year old child to you? Now, I want you to look closely at the Bell image on the right, enlarged below:

So, Toni is in shorts. It looks like a Girl Scouts uniform. The mother is wearing a dark coat and pink slacks. But, how can her left leg be coming around and behind Toni's leg? The mother is in front, so her legs should also be in front. Doesn't that look like a photoshop mess to you? It does to me.

Plus, why aren't they centered? Why are they so close to the right edge? That perch isn't that wide to begin with, but you'd certainly want to stand in the center of it. They aren't in the center. There is a lot more space on the left than the right. They are basically standing on the right edge. 

Below, you can see how narrow it is.

You can see that the pedestal is much longer than it is wide. It's not a cube; it's a long rectangle. So, anyone standing up there would stand in the center. Why aren't they?

That image isn't right. It looks fabricated. It looks artificial, especially the lower part of their bodies. 

There was a lot of photographic altering and manipulating done to JFK images and films which they thought they could get away with because nobody was going to be able to look at them up-close. But, they didn't know that the computer and internet age was coming, which has enabled this kind of close examination.  

So now my question is: what really happened? Were Toni and her mother on that pedestal at all? Or was the whole thing faked in order to obstruct the doorway in Hughes to conceal Oswald?

I am also very suspicious about the signs next to them, which are conveniently blocking the east side of the doorway. And fortunately, we can easily test this. We can reproduce it. It will be easy enough to put it to the test. The signs aren't there any more, but the pedestal is. So, all we have to do is create a mock-up, some signs on a pole, and have someone hold it, while two others mount the pedestal. Then the photographer assumes Hughes' position. Do you see how easy it would be to test this?
