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

This is a concise statement as to why JFK was not shot at the time of the Altgens photo, and why what we see of him in the Altgens photo is fake. It starts, as always, with the photographic evidence. We shall compare the Altgens photo to Z255. 

Those are supposed to be the exact same split-second in time and space, but they are not. In Altgens, JFK has got this huge mitt of a left hand and tiny shriveled right hand, and Jackie is caressing this long straight wand of an arm that goes on forever. But, in Z255, his hands look equal and proportionate, and he has his elbow out to Jackie, and she is grasping him on his forearm and upper arm.  Obviously, if he has his fist to his throat, his arm can't be extended out. Only his elbow can be extended out. So, what we see in Altgens has to be false. 

But, there is more. We have to look at the timing of this. When was the Altgens photo taken? It was taken when the limo was closer to the top of the hill and long before JFK was hit. 

The Altgens photo was taken from quite a great distance, and the look that it has is not the result of zooming; it is the result of cropping. The photo was cropped above, below, and on the left side. The limo was not that far down the hill. It was a little beyond the obelisk, about where it was in the Croft photo. So, Croft and Altgens snapped their cameras at about the same time. And JFK is not shot in the Crofts photo. Don't you think if JFK were shot that Jackie would be looking the other way? 

Look at the aerial view.

The AA woman refers to the African American woman in a white blouse and black skirt in Croft. So, adjacent to that is about where the limo was in Altgens. And Kennedy was not shot at that point. In the Zapruder film, Kennedy gets shot while he is behind the Stemmons freeway sign, which is circled. In the Z-film, they converted that perpendicular sign into a flat screen to get more coverage from it, but that is where about Kennedy got shot. So, if you draw a line from Zapruder thru the sign to the road, that is where the limo was. 

So, it's the last and shortest line; that spot on the road. I put an L there and circled it. That's when JFK was first hit, and it conforms with the official story.  

But, in the Altgens photo, the limo was not that far down the hill. You can see the DalTex building behind it, and it's not that far away. It's not that far beyond the obelisk. 

To hide that this was higher on the hill, they cropped it severely, and they also installed a Charles Brehm figure on the right. You see that curve in the road, and there was essentially a curve at the top and a curve at the bottom and a straight stretch in-between. That's the top curve, and Brehm was nowhere near the top curve. He was on the straight section. But, they put him there, so that you would think that it's lower down the hill than it was.
  
Here is Z202, and JFK may have been hit here, and, if not, close to here. He is about to disappear behind the sign. His hand is covering his face, which is a weird behavior. So, they may have done that because he showed an expression of fear and alarm that they didn't want us to see. 

That could be off by a frame or two, but regardless, by the time he emerges on the other side of the sign, he has been shot twice: in the back and in the throat.

He reaches Brehm at Z285.

That's about 4 and a half seconds, but remember that once Kennedy got hit, the slow-moving limo slowed even more and eventually, it either stopped or nearly stopped. In another second, he will receive the fatal head shot. 

But, he couldn't have been shot much before that because if so, it would prolong the time too much between the first hit and the last one. There isn't enough footage to cover a longer gap than that. 
So, there is no way the gap was bigger. 

I did the marking on this photo, but it conforms with a widely circulated plat beneath it.

It's right about in the center where it says "JFK back shot", look how low that is on the hill. It's quite a ways down. It's well below where the Croft photo was taken. It's about where the Willis photo was taken.

So, that's about where the head shot took place. Then, there was a throat shot. Then there was Kennedy's reaction to the throat shot. That all came after this. Can't you see that this is already past the spot of the Altgens photo?

Can't you see that the limo in the Altgens photo is higher on the hill than it was in the Willis photo, that Altgens came before Willis?

And yet, Z255 came after the Willis photo. So, how can the Altgens photo be a match to Z255? The claim of that is based entirely on what we see in the Altgens photo which "kinda/sorta" matches what we see in Z255:

But, it is laughable. The view in Altgens is fake. It's comical and ridiculous. Jackie looks like she is handling the long wand of a vacuum cleaner. It's very bad art is what it is. And they did it because they were claiming that the Secret Service agents were looking back and to the right at the TSBD for the source of the shots, so they wanted JFK to be shot. The whole propaganda purpose of the Altgens photo was to show that that the shots came from the TSBD. That's the reason they kept the photo even though Oswald was in it. They arrogantly thought they could turn him into Lovelady, figuring that the dumb rubes would believe anything. 

I'm not saying that there were no shots before Altgens. There was definitely one, and there may have been more than one. I don't claim to know how many missed shots there were. But, JFK wasn't hit at the time of the Altgens photo; that they faked.  

I'll finish by giving you this link to Walter Cronkite presenting the Altgens photo on national television, 6:30 PM Friday evening. He refers to the Secret Service agents looking back towards where the shot came from, and then he gives a jumbled description of what is seen of the President and First Lady in the limo. You can be sure he didn't come up with it himself. He was told what to say. They had him spew their talking points. Start at 1:48 and watch for 30 seconds.
