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

 On the left is a normal hand, which happens to be the hand of Barack Obama. On the right is Lovelady's freak hand.

The way the hand hangs at the end of your arm when you're standing is determined by the anatomy of the hand, by gravity, and by whether the person is doing anything with the hand or just letting it hang. For instance, if the person was making a fist it would obviously look different. But, in this case, we have to assume that Lovelady, like Obama, wasn't doing anything with his hand.

But, when you compare the two, only Obama's hand looks normal. And the weird look of Lovelady's hand could not have been the result of anything he was doing. His hand doesn't even look human. You notice that it has no arch. It has not the slightest bit of "opposition" of the thumb. And remember that it's the opposable thumb that separates Man from the apes. So, was Lovelady a man or an ape?

It is not a photograph of his hand. It is art. Crude, crappy art that looks like something a 6th grader did.

What do you think would happen if I showed it to a Professor of Anatomy? Maybe I will. And how many fingers did Lovelady have? It's rather dubious. It looks more like 4 than 5. What's the excuse for that? Bad cameras of the 1970s? Only in JFK-land is such freakery accepted.
