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

Why didn't they just destroy the Altgens photo as soon as they saw that Oswald was in it? They didn't need it. Nobody knew about it except Altgens, and he was a team player. Nobody was going to know that it was missing.  They thought they could convert Oswald into Lovelady and nobody would notice? Were they out of their minds? How arrogant. Those people were really full of themselves.

And there is NOTHING more important to this case than Oswald's presence in the doorway, and that's because for every defendant accused of a crime, when he or she denies guilt, the very first question that arises is: "You say you didn't do it? Then where the hell were you when it happened?" 

And that's why it is so appalling that at Oswald's mock trial in Houston, that his so-called lawyers spent hours disputing the Single Bullet Theory and whether ballistics establishes whether the shots came from the 6th floor. What the hell difference does it make to Oswald when he wasn't on the 6th floor, and he never shot at Kennedy? None of that did anything to defend Oswald. Oswald didn't do it on the grounds that he wasn't in the location to do it. That is the ace of spades in his defense. If you don't play that card, you are not defending him. You're just disputing the official story.

And that's all some people want to do: dispute the official story. They're not friends of Oswald. They don't care about him. In fact, at the mock trial in Houston, Bob Tannenbaum went so far as to tell the jury that didn't care about Oswald and didn't even like Oswald. That buffoon operated as if the "lone gunman theory" was on trial, and he was a prosecutor trying to destroy it. He had no interest in Oswald whatsoever and admitted it.  

So, we know now that that freakishly large fist and arm of Kennedy in the Altgens photo, with Jackie's delicate gloved hands caressing, is fake. Fake, fake, fake. But, the question is: why did they do it? Why wasn't whatever got captured there good enough? Why couldn't they use it? Why couldn't they leave it?

Where it leads me is to question whether Kennedy had been shot when the Altgens photo was taken? What if he hadn't been? We know there was at least one shot that missed. Some say more than one, but everyone says at least one shot missed. But, on November 22, the guys altering that photo did not now that. It wasn't until James Tague came forward with the abrasion on his face, and they discovered the spot where the bullet hit the curb. But, it wasn't known on 11/22. They had those SS agents staring back at the TSBD, and in the caption they wrote that they were "looking for the source of the shots." So, they wanted JFK to be shot already. But, what if he wasn't? 

Here's the complete Altgens. Well, I say complete, but they must have cropped the top. After all, it was 3 x 2, and the shape of this is obviously much wider than it is high. I believe it was our own Larry Rivera who first realized that the photo was vertically cropped. 

But, we know from the Zapruder film that Kennedy was shot when the  limo was behind the Stemmon's freeway sign. Kennedy is still waving as he disappears from view behind the scene, and then, from the first glimmer of him afterwards, you can see that he is in trouble, in a panic, and in distress. So, he was shot when the limo was behind the sign.  So, where is the Stemmon's freeway sign?

Look at that sign. It's way down there. You can see Zapruder and his secretary standing on the platform, and it does look like the sign could be obstructing the view of Zapruder's camera of JFK. And, in the Z film, it is behind that sign that Kennedy is first shot. The Altgens photo was higher on the hill than this, yet it supposedly came after this. So, something is wrong. More coming.
