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

It is important to realize that when we say that Lee Harvey Oswald was standing in the doorway during the shooting of JFK, that inherent in the claim is the charge that government, at multiple levels and times, committed crimes over it, at the very least: obstruction of justice. Fraud, lying, and evidence-tampering took place. 

So, this is not a case in which they mistakenly identified the Doorway Man as Billy Lovelady. On the contrary, they consciously and willfully committed fraud over it. 

The Warren Commission, which was a government commission, handled the Doorman controversy by getting a few select people to say that he was Lovelady. But, Lovelady was NOT one of them. Lovelady never told W.C. Attorney Joseph Ball that he was Doorman. Lovelady's testimony was bizarre, and his exchange with Ball was like an Abbott and Costello routine. Neither one of them ever said who they were talking about. It's obvious that Ball wanted to know if Lovelady would identify Doorman as himself. So, why didn't he just ask him? "Who is this guy?" Instead, he played a game with arrows. But, what's clear is that SOMEBODY MUST HAVE WARNED BALL THAT LOVELADY WAS NOT BEING A TEAM PLAYER. And that's why Ball was so gingerly with Lovelady. And as for Lovelady, he, it seemed, just wanted to avoid pissing off the 800 pound gorilla. And it's funny how it ended. When asked if he wanted to sign the transcript, Lovelady said, "I just want this to be the last one." I hear ya, Billy.  But, with the others Ball talked to, he must have been given a heads-up that they were team players, so he could ask direct questions. But, the point is that it had all the earmarks of a Stalinist Show Trial. 

Fast forward to the HSCA, who felt that they had to do more to quell the uproar over Doorman.  So, they got clever: they hired Robert Groden. It was clever because he had a reputation for fighting the government story. But, even though he was fighting it, overall, he wasn't fighting the part about Doorman.  So, they must have brought him in and first established (which is to say: got from him) that he vouched for Doorman being Lovelady. And then they must have told him that they would hire him (and I presume for big bucks) if he could prove it with images. As far as we know, Groden NEVER put an image of Oswald side by side with Doorman. The only element of Oswald that got entered was a picture of his shirt, and get this: there is NO CHANCE that it's actually Oswald's shirt. 

Why couldn't they at least have had the decency to use an image of the shirt in which it was on Oswald's back? But, that image on the left is the what Groden used, so in reality, he used NOTHING of Oswald's. The rest of the images he compared were of Lovelady. The likeness of the man and the clothing between Oswald and Doorman is ultra-great. 

Why didn't thy put a collage like that in the HSCA Final Report? The answer is obvious: it screams Oswald. 

Robert Groden is a disgrace. He is former military intelligence. He was put there to lead the JFK opposition and make sure he led it nowhere dangerous- to the authorities. Think of him as an undercover cop. 

So, that was half the HSCA inquiry about Doorman. The other half involved these goofy anthropologists who supposedly were going to take highly precise anthropometric measurements based on photos. They started by saying that Doorman's image was too blurred to measure anything.  So, they spent most of their time comparing Oswald to Lovelady- comparing and distinguishing their facial features.  But then, at the end, they made a general statement that overall, Doorman looks more like Lovelady. The irony is that all the images of Lovelady they used were either complete fakes or altered. They had not even one bonafide image of Lovelady. And get this: the images they used of Oswald and Lovelady were both flipped. I mean left-to-right flipped; mirror images. At least, that is what they published. The corruption went so deep. Those anthropologists were like circus monkeys. And again, as like Groden, they knew what was expected of them; they knew what the Committee wanted to hear, and  they delivered. The HSCA went completely to Hell, and I mean to the point of being truly Satanic. 

So, government has been totally, utterly corrupt in handling this Doorman matter, but the same is true of the media, particularly CBS. In their case, I don't know if it could be considered criminal. It's an interesting question. But, morally, it was just as bad. 

So, as we discuss it today, and point to the obvious matching points between Oswald and Doorman including the perfect match of the shirt, and even the same stance of clasping his hands in front, which was Oswald's habit, that subsuming it is backdrop of this terribly, evil, wicked legacy that again, has been nothing short of criminal and Satanic. It's no wonder they fight it so hard. But know this: there isn't even .0000000000000000001% chance that Doorman was anyone but Oswald.
