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

Many witnesses' Warren Commission testimonies have been examined closely, but what about Jackie Kennedy's? Well, I am examining hers, and it's not from any hostile intention. I don't fault her in the slightest. But, I am hoping it will glean something. 

She was first asked to describe what happened from Love Field onward, and one of the first things she said was that it was a very hot day. I'm quoting her. She said: "It was a very hot day." It hit a high of 71 degrees, and I looked it up at the National Weather Service, which isn't all that hot, but, it was very sunny, and the Texas sun feels plenty hot even in November.  

So, what do you make of this kid here who on this very hot day, in which Jackie was complaining about the heat, he is wearing a wool cap, not just on his head, but pulled over his ears. 

It's a bogus image. I've been saying it since 2012, and it's been on the OIC website for 8 years, and 80 years from now, it will still be there, don't worry. The woman and boy were put there to obscure the man in the fedora hat who was turned and looking at Oswald in the doorway. That's his back you are looking at. 

She said the crowd was friendly, but it was hectic, with people grabbing at them and pulling. She said that Congressman Thomas helped her back to the limo. That's eerie because he's the guy who made the Wink of the Century to LBJ.

Then she talked about the drive. She said that at one point there was a sign that said, "President Kennedy, please get out and shake our hand. Our neighbors said you wouldn't." And she said he did. He had the limo stop, and he got out and shook their hands. Now, could that be why the motorcade was 5 minutes late getting to Dealey Plaza? It was scheduled to get there at 12:25, but it got there at 12:30. Then, Jackie added this:

"And it was terribly hot. Just blinding all of us."

I keep thinking about that kid in the wool cap. Fat chance.  

As they made the turn to Elm Street, she said that it was about then that Mrs. Connally told JFK: you can't say the people of Dallas haven't given you a warm welcome, and she said that he agreed. She said it was then that they started moving very slowly, and I have to assume she meant that it was slower than it was before.  And she also said that there were fewer people around, and I presumes she means in the grassy area. 

Apparently, her memory wasn't that good. She said that she did not remember climbing out on the back of the limo. Here exact words were, "You know, then, there were pictures later-on of me climbing out the back. But I don't remember that at all."

But, here's what gets me the most: she said that she was mostly looking to the left and waving, and it was noisy. She heard loud noises, but she didn't think much of it because there were so many motorcycles around. But then, she turned and looked at her husband and, "he had this sort of quizzical look on his face."

Now, that could not have been from the throat shot because his reaction to the throat shot was immediate, and it was panic. He very quickly brought his hands up and tried to dislodge the obstruction to his breathing. You should watch this video by Gil Jesus if you haven't.

So, what was the quizzical look from? That was from the back shot, which came before. It was at least 4 or 5 seconds before. It hit him in the back at the level of T3, just to the right of the spine. The bullet only entered a very short distance and did no significant harm. But, I think it had something in it that had an immobilizing effect on him. Here he is in Croft:

Here he is in Betzner:

And here he is in Willis:

Now, keep in mind that, they're all probably doctored, but he stopped waving, and he stopped moving. He stiffened up. So, something radically changed, and it must be that he was shot in the back. Until then, he was waving and smiling. But after that, he just sat there stiff. And I think it was the result of the back shot, and something in it that affected him that way.  

Here is Jackie in the Croft photo.

And here she is at another time turned left:

That is a normal amount of left turning. You don't go to the extreme we see in the Croft photo. Rifle through them again. 

According to Officialdom, JFK hasn't been shot yet in this photo. If he hasn't, then why is she looking so glum? Why isn't she smiling? If you look at her Love Field and motorcade images, she is smiling in all of them until here. You can't find another one like this in which she is looking glum. I think they got that head image from somewhere else and put it in there. The purpose was to obscure him. The original probably must have showed a startled look on his face because he was just shot in the back. And you can see that screen they put over his back. It's raised. 

As I read her testimony, she did seem a confused. For instance, she said that he raised his left arm, but of course, he raised both arms. 

And since she said that she did not remember climbing out on the back of the limo, obviously, her mind wasn't recalling everything. But, it is very significant that she remembered seeing a quizzical look on his face as the first sign of abnormality. That was from the back shot, which occurred well before the throat shot. 

So, I believe my analysis is correct: that JFK was shot in the back at the time of the Croft photo; that he was shot in the throat behind the sign; and then he was shot in the head farther down the road when he was about across from Zapruder.
