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

 The first of the Rescue Lovelady films that the FBI made was the Gorilla Man clip, which first appeared in 1966. It was claimed to be part of the Jack Martin film, but it wasn't. And I have been aware of that for a long time. I even contacted Gary Mack at the Sixth Floor Museum, asking him if they had a version of the Martin film that included the Lovelady clip, and he said no.

That is all there is to the Martin film, and qualitatively, it is very poor. You can see that. The Gorilla Man clip is one of the clearest, sharpest footages we have and much different from the Martin film. 

Somebody posted a composite of the Martin film with other footages, including the Gorilla Man clip, calling it the Martin film. But, it is not. It is definitey a composite. 

I could spend hours talking about the Gorilla Man clip, but the most important thing to say about it, besides the fact that it is fake, is that the guy in it is not Billy Lovelady.

These two guys don't look anything alike. They don't look like they could even be related. It is Billy Lovelady on the left, although it is a highly manipulated photo. They doctored his hair. He did not have that much hair on top. And the hair they added they kept real short because it's easier to make it look authentic. If they tried to add fake strands, it would have looked like crap, like the images of Jack Ruby with his fake hair that was added to cover his bald head. At least, they were smart about it here. They also replaced Lovelady's protruding ear. But, notice that his neck looks normal. The guy on the right had a condition called Forward Neck Syndrome, where his neck jutted forward, and then to capture the right visual field, he has his head pinched back on his neck at the top joint, the atlanto-occipital joint. 

I have spent my whole adult life as a doctor, and I've always had a keen interest in human bio-mechanics. Gorilla Man is a chiropractor's worst nightmare. I don't know how long that man lived, but if he lived long, I guarantee you that he suffered severe cervical arthritis. With a neck like that? Absolutely. 

But, that's not the only contrast. Look at those brow bones on Gorilla Man. Is it any wonder that Jim Fetzer gave him that name? Lovelady's brow looked nothing like that. And look at the slope of Gorilla Man's forehead. It's like Evolution skipped over him. He's still an ape. Lovelady wasn't like that. 

Gorilla Man was an impostor playing the role of Billy Lovelady in this FBI-made clip which shows Lovelady milling around in front of the TSBD 10 minutes after the assassination- a time that Lovelady was not there. All they had to do was read Lovelady's testimony to find out that he left the doorway immediately with Bill Shelley for the railroad yard, and after looking around, as many did, they re-entered the TSBD through the back door, never to return to the front. 

So, it is absolutely certain that Billy Lovelady was not in front of the TSBD 10 minutes after the assassination. And the phony film wasn't shot 10 minutes after the assassination. It was shot years later. It didn't surface until 1966, and I doubt it was produced before then. At the time, Harold Weisberg was traveling the country, appearing on local radio programs, talking up Oswald in the doorway. The Gorilla Man clip was made precisely to counter Harold Weisberg. 

Doorman was not wearing a plaid shirt. Here is a collage of Doorman, Oswald, and Lovelady posing in his plaid shirt. Who is the odd man out? 

Why would you think that Doorman was displaying the flashy shirt of Lovelady? And it's not the shirt he wore on 11/22. Lovelady wore a short-sleeved, red and white, vertically striped shirt, which he told the FBI, and which they put in writing- twice. 

Poor Billy Lovelady. He didn't want to do this. He wasn't cut out for it. He was a terrible liar. And when Jones Harris asked him which shirt he wore, the short-sleeved striped or the long-sleeved plaid,  he hesitated, and then said, "both." Poor guy. What a miserable life. Sure, they made him rich, but so what? He never enjoyed a moment's peace, constantly burdened with the burden of being Doorman, which he wasn't. And in the end, I strongly suspect that they killed him. He died suddenly of a "heart attack" at age 41. I realize that it is possible to have a heart attack that young and even younger. But, it is extremely rare. And his death coincided with the release of the HSCA Final Report in January 1979. Dead men tell no tales. They didn't call it the "heart attack gun" for nothing.
