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

My friend, the non-mainstream and very excellent investigative reporter Pat Shannon, sent me this video of someone critiquing the work of Ed Chiarini. Ed is whacked. He thinks the JFK assassination was a hoax and that JFK came back as Jimmy Carter. And guess what? Rossilyn Carter is really Jackie. Who knew? 

But, the truth is that in some of his analysis, Ed has got both feet on the ground. And here, he points to the contradiction of a ceiling mic in the Beers photo which is not seen in any of the films. 

So, on the left, it's from a film, and on the right, it's the famous Beers photo, one of the three iconic still photos from the shooting, the other two being Jackson and Johnston. 

Before I go any further, It wasn't Jack Ruby. It was FBI Agent James Bookhout masquerading as Jack Ruby. Ruby had showed up much earlier than reported, and he was swifted up to the 5th floor, and that is where he was during the garage spectacle. No real shooting took place. Oswald was shot later. http://oswaldinthedoorway.blogspot.com/2016/10/oh-my-god-its-him-its-bookhout-impostor.html

Note that it makes no sense for a microphone to be there. They announced beforehand that reporters were forbidden to ask questions. Ike Pappas asked one anyway. He's the one holding that hand mic that you see. And the question he asked was ridiculous. He asked Oswald, "Do you have anything to say in your defense?" It wasn't a press conference. Oswald was being led to a car to be driven away. If Pappas asked anything at all, it should have been a yes or no question. But, to ask that very open-ended and mile-wide question in that situation was just plain ridiculous.  

They obviously didn't have a microphone hanging from their ceiling as a matter of course, and the DPD never claimed to hang one as part of the security/protection detail.  

Chiarini argued that the presence of the microphone in the stills proves that there were multiple takes  (with and without the mic) while his critic says that the microphone was just added to the picture afterwards, which would have been easy to do. 

I say they are both right, that the mic was probably added afterwards, but there were definitely multiple takes. It's easiest for me to demonstrate it with the Jackson photo.

This is obviously a staged photo and could not have taken place during the shooting. Supposedly, it was taken a fraction of a second after the shot was fired. But, supposedly it was enough time for Oswald to slap his left arm to his chest. But, if he had time to do that, then everyone else in the picture had time to react to the shot. And I mean react viscerally- to the sound of the blast, the shock of it, and everything else. If you look on the left, Detective Lowery is still clasping his hands in front, and the expression on his face is in no way consistent with a gunshot blast happening. You know, a person hears a gunshot in a situation like that, and instintively, they will have the thought that they are going to be shot next. So, Lowery's behavior not only defies the behavior of a policeman, but it defies the human instinct for self-preservation. But really, none of them is acting appropriately. Tom Petit was a reporter, but why  wasn't he startled by the blast? Blackie Henderson on the right, is supposedly reaching in to wrest the gun away, but he doesn't stop puffing on his cigar. Who says a man can't do two things at once? And that is ridiculous anyway because he'd have to have arms like a gorilla to reach anywhere near that gun. The police inspector in back, in the white hat, isn't even looking at the action. He appears to be looking through it at the guy with the camera. Not one person in the photo is showing the least sign of a visceral, automatic and autonomic startle reaction.  But, the gun has already gone off. Boom! 

And there is no way this was taken during the spectacle. In the spectacle, "Ruby" shot Oswald from the side. He wasn't in front of him. He pivoted in front of him afterwards, but it took longer than a fraction of a second. This is the moment of impact:

Now, keep in mind that LC Graves does not begin to react until after the shot. So, we are supposed to believe that "Ruby" passed right in front of him, and either did or practically did brush against him, but Graves was completely unaware of him until after the shot. I tell you: anyone who believes that is brain-dead.  

Now, this is after the shot, and Oswald reacts by pitching forward. It's from the NBC footage. 

So, Ruby fires, and Oswald crunches forward. You're seeing that with your own eyes there. So, how could he also be slapping his left arm to his chest, as seen in the Jackson photo? 

There was a movement there by the shooter to swing around to get his back to the camera. Then we get a glimpse of Oswald again.

Still no movement by Leavelle or Graves, and no reason to think Oswald is engaged in any chest slapping. 

Then, Oswald rises up on his toes, and we can see his heels off the ground in the KRLD film. 

And then, he goes straight down like a freight elevator at the TSBD. And fast too. It's like a vacuum. Swish! And he's gone. Then, Leavelle makes a move to grab "Ruby" but "Ruby" wasn't resisting or running away. On the contrary, he dives into the waiting swarm of police. 

But, how does it leave room for this?

It doesn't. That never happened during the televised spectacle. It's a staged photo, and I believe it was taken beforehand. We have evidence that the garage was cleared at 9:45. Dr. Frank Bieberdorf said that he and everyone was ordered to vacate the area. And then, just minutes before the shooting, you see the reporters and cameramen filing in. So, they weren't waiting around there. They were made to wait in the press room on the 3rd floor. I believe that the Jackson photo was taken during that period as a staged photo. And it had to be taken then. It could not have been taken afterwards, and it was published that evening. So, it had to have been taken before. 

The Beers photo was supposedly taken before the shot, but why is nobody but nobody showing any awareness of Ruby? It's like he's invisible. 

You notice Leavelle's shriveled left forearm. That is freaky, and it isn't real.  They decided on the "hand in the pants" element later, so that was added. It's just art. You notice the shooter's very light colored sock in contrast to Ruby's black socks. 

And that's why they had to come up with the whole "1 set underwear" ruse. Yes, they actually expect us to believe that they changed Ruby's underwear, put him in regulation underwear. Even though this was a City jail that only held prisoners until they were arraigned, after which they were either released because the charges were dropped, or on bail,  or on their recognizance, OR if they were remanded, they were sent to the County Jail. So no matter what the outcome of the arraignment, they were soon gone, as Ruby indeed was the very next day. And  yet, they actually expect us to believe that they replaced every stitch of clothing on Ruby's body down to his socks and underwear. My friends: it is the evil Leviathan State forcing something down your throat. Again: you would have to be brain-dead to believe it. 

Now, look at the Shooter in Beers. He is practically kneeling with his left knee on the ground.

Look at the stretch he has going there. Look how low he is to the ground because of it. He's not that way in the Jackson photo. 

That's supposed to be  .6 second later. So, how could he go from this:

to this, in .6 second?

He couldn't move that fast and that much in a fraction of a second.

In the film, the shooter does seem to be stretching.

Let's look at Beers again.

Notice that you don't see the shriveled left arm of Leavelle in the film frame.  You see Oswald's clasped hand, and therefore you should see Leavelle's shriveled left arm coming over to it because  the only distance separating Oswald's right and Leavelle's left is the very short chain of a pair of regulation handcuffs. 

But you do see it in Beers.

And look at Blackie Henderson on the far right holding his little cigar in his left hand. How, in a fraction of a  second, could he go from that to this:

It's just ridiculous. I'm not sure about the Beers photo, but I absolutely know for certain that the Jackson photo was not taken during the televised spectacle. It was taken beforehand. The garage was cleared, and for two reasons: One to capture Jack Ruby and scurry him up to the  5th floor until it was time to weave him into the story. And two: to take that Jackson photo.
