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

Jackie Kennedy told the Warren Commission that the first thing she remembered was "turning right and seeing my husband with this quizzical look on his face."  But, that is not consistent with the Official Story or with what we see in the Zapruder film. 

The Official Story has it that JFK was riding down the hill, smiling and waving, then suddenly he was hit in the back with a bullet that traversed him, exiting out his neck in front. 

Now, you know how fast bullets travel, and this one had a long way to go after it left him, supposedly. So, it was still very juiced up, which means its flight velocity was still intact.  So, what happened to him was instantaneous, and his response to that one bullet, according to what we see in the Zapruder film, was: sheer panic. He went into an extreme state of alarm. We can see that with our own eyes.

So, when did he respond with a quizzical look? That had to be before. It had to be something else. It had to be in response to the back shot, which came before the throat shot. 

JFK researchers have rejected, in mass, the Single Bullet Theory, and that's good.  But, they have accepted the simultaneousness of the back and throat shots, and that's bad.  The fact is that they did not occur at the same time- nor at the same place. And that's because the limo was moving. The back shot occurred high on the hill; the throat occurred low on the hill. 

Now, what is the evidence for that? First, there is the fact that JFK isn't waving in the Croft, Betzner and Willis photos. He was a politician, and it was a political trip. He was there to garner votes. He would not have stopped waving unless there was something seriously wrong with him.

Notice that Connally isn't waving either, and he looks very concerned. Not is Jackie waving. This is a highly manipulated image. JFK's eyes were obscured. His jacket was enhanced. And fools like John McAdams have said that his jacket is "bunching up." JFK wore custom tailored suits. There is no way it would have bunched up. They put an overlay there.

That isn't bunching up. It's a screen that they put there. And look at his eyes. They got painted, which is how they photoshopped in those days. Now, on to the Betzner photo.

I have doubts about the big figure there. Maybe he was there but they enlarged him. Maybe they didn't want us to see Jackie and Connally. But, as for JFK, he is not waving, and nor are the people by the sign. This is a long way from the Croft Ladies. They aren't even in this picture, not even at the top of it on our right. So, where is this in the Zapruder film? It's not. It was cut out. Finally, there is Willis. 

This is said to be the last image before the Single Bullet. Notice that his arm isn't up waving. And notice how dark his coloring is. Compare his coloring to Jackie's. She is all illuminated. She's in the bright light, but he looks very dark. And look at the weird shape of his head. That image was worked. But, we can still see that he's not waving, nor are the spectators waving. What a contrast to the glee of the Croft photo. Yet, according to Officialdom, nothing has happened to him yet. 

And, what a contradiction between these three images and what we see in the Zapruder film, which is him smiling and waving all the way to the freeway sign. The span of these three photos is exactly what got cut out of the Zapruder film.   

Now, let's turn to the Altgens photo. It was taken when the limo was high on the hill. You know that because Altgens went into the street to take it, and he never would have done that if the motorcade was bearing down on him. 

Look at the left upper corner. That is still the TSBD. Look at how close the limo is to the intersection of Houston Street. It isn't that many car lengths from it. And that curve in the road that you see on the right is part of the turn. But, you see the guy clapping on the far right? That is supposed to be Charles Bhrem. But, how could he be way up there? He couldn't. They put him there to make you think this was low on the hill. But, why did they want you to think that? It's because of what's going on in the limo.

So, that is Jackie holding JFK's arm which is like a vacuum wand that's going way past him. He's got his monster fist raised, but only his left fist is monsterized. His right fist looks shriveled.  The idea is that he is reacting as he did in the Zapruder film. It's the Zapruderization of the Altgens photo. But, he hasn't been shot in the throat yet. So, this imagery has got to to be fake. 

So, what was really showing there? It must have been JFK reacting to being shot in the back; just the back. Not the throat and the back; just the back. And it was from that that the quizzical look followed.  

But, who gets shot in the back with a bullet and responds with a quizzical look? Nobody. Let's elaborate about the meaning of a quizzical look. It means that he knew that something happened to him, but he didn't know what. He didn't know what to make of it. Now recall what William Colby told the Church Committee that the heart attack gun was designed to feel like nothing more than a mosquito bite. But, in this case, they had it armed with a nerve agent which acted very quickly. He felt a little something in his back, but he didn't equate it with being shot with a bullet. And, he knew that something was still happening to him, but he didn't know what. He was starting to feel weird because rapid changes were taking place in his body. And that's why he had a quizzical look on his face that Jackie observed.

So, the contradiction between what Jackie said she first saw and what we see in the Zapruder film is now explained. They cut out the whole section of him being shot in the back and riding down the hill that way. Thank God we have the Croft, Betzner, and Willis photos which recorded it. They were all altered, but still, they tell the story that after JFK was shot in the back, he stopped smiling and waving. 

So, if you ever wondered why the limo gets to the freeway sign so fast in the Zapruder film, now you know: they cut out a big section of the film. And I mean a huge section. They really eviscerated that film. And it probably took them years to get the Zapruder film to where they needed to get it before they could show it to the world.
