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

What about the neck shot? What were they trying to do with that shot? Did they deliberately shoot JFK there? I am starting to think so. Because: what other possibility is there? It was from the front, so if they weren't aiming for his neck, what were they aiming for? His face? Would they have tried to shoot the man in the face? I don't think so. They knew there might be photos. I just don't think they would have wanted to add the gruesomeness of a face shot to the mix. 

I mentioned last night that I think they deliberately shot him in the back. It's the only shot that hit him in Upper Dealey Plaza. It apparently didn't do much harm to him physically, and that was planned too. They were going to kill him in Lower Dealey Plaza where there were few people. 

I am just speculating here because it's really very strange. Did they shoot him in the throat just to set up the Single Bullet Theory? Did they do it to take out his voice so that he couldn't speak? He was, after all the Commander in Chief, so if he could speak, he might have told Greer to floor it. But, JFK was mentally out of it too. He really seems doped up in the Zapruder film. And I mentioned yesterday the weird muscular spasticity that he had. He raised his hands to his throat area, both of them, but why did he have to stick his elbows out? And why did he continue sticking them out after he was done clearing the obstruction in his airway?

I suppose some people will want to just blame his weird behavior on the trauma and the shock, but I think that's a cop-out. This man had been through PT-109. If he didn't lose it then, I don't think he would have lost it here. 

Again, I don't think that shooting him in the face was something they would have sought to do. That would have been too gruesome even for them. So, they must have deliberately shot him in the throat. I wonder if I could be right on both fronts, that they shot him in the throat to take out his ability to speak, but also to establish the option of claiming the Single Bullet Theory. 

So, the back shot was a preliminary shot, done before he reached the Kill Zone, just to soften him up, so that he wouldn't move around and take evasive action once the real shooting began. And I seriously think it involved a drug. Then, the throat shot created an exit wound for the first shot while also taking out his voice so that he couldn't respond verbally. 

They modified the Altgens photo to make it look like it was taken in Lower Dealey Plaza when actually it was taken in Upper Dealey Plaza, about the same spot that the Crofts photo was taken, just past the obelisk. At this point, I can't say if he was shot at all. If he was, he was just shot with that back shot. So, they came up with that phony imagery inside the limo, to make it look like he was reacting to the throat shot  He absolutely and positively was not hit in the throat until he was behind the freeway sign, the real freeway sign, not the bogus one we see in the Zapruder film. The limo gets to that sign right away in the Zapruder film- impossibly early. They cut out the part of the film in which he got shot in the back and reacted to it. Instead, they just showed him waving and smiling, then passing behind the phony sign, and then jumping to the footage of him from when he emerged from behind the real sign.  That way, they could make it look like all the shooting, except for the fatal head shot, occurred behind the sign. It's not true. The back shot came much earlier than the throat shot. I have been saying this for some time, and sleeping on it, and my certainty about it has only grown.
