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

 This is, supposedly, a collage of Billy Lovelady. On the right, is Gorilla Man from in front of the TSBD 10 minutes after the assassination. He isn't Billy Lovelady, and if the shysters who created it had bothered to read his testimony, they would have known that he wasn't there at the time. Lovelady left immediately with Shelley for the railroad yard, and when they were finished looking around, they re-entered the TSBD through the back door. They never returned to the front. So, there is no chance that Lovelady was there.

And Gorilla Man wasn't there either; not on November 22, 1963. The phony clip was made years later. It didn't surface until 1966, three years later. And it was made in response to Harold Weisberg, who was travelling the country, proclaiming that Lovelady wore a short-sleeved, striped shirt, and therefore, could not be Doorman. It was damage control.

The image on the left is even more phony. The Lovelady figure in it wasn't even there. He was just pasted into the image. He is not Gorilla Man either. All you have to do to know that is to compare the slope of their foreheads. Gorilla Man was quite the freak. He had a sloped forehead- like a gorilla.

The image on the left may have been the real Lovelady, but he definitely wasn't there in that squad room. And Lovelady said so himself. He was asked when was the last time he saw Oswald on 11/22, and he told Joseph Ball that it was when they broke for lunch. Don't you think that if he had seen Oswald at the PD that he would have remembered it and said so?

And what he said was a lie because I'm sure Lovelady saw Oswald in the doorway. He was standing close to him. Lovelady is the guy whose face is missing, visoring his eyes with his hands. His face is blackened out because they blackened it out. And they blackened it out because he was Lovelady. But, he knew better than to say that he saw Oswald in the doorway. He knew that Joseph Ball didn't want to hear that. And let's just say that he valued his life; so he wasn't going to say it. Lovelady knew what was going on and what was expected of him.

But, returning to the squad room image on the left, it's phony. Lovelady wasn't there. There was no room for him to be there. How did the big cop and Oswald get past Lovelady if he was there? They would have had to walk right through him. He wasn't Casper the ghost.

That desk in the squad room was really just a supply desk. It wasn't a sitting desk. If you sat there, you would be right in the lane of traffic.

Think about it: Lovelady was brought to the PD with Shelley and others so that their statements could be taken. Why would they place Lovelady in the squad room of the homicide bureau? And why would they place him there alone? Wouldn't they keep the people from the TSBD together? They were transported there in cop cars. This was the locker room of the detectives. There were lockers in it. Why would they place Lovelady alone in their locker room?

If you watch the film, you'll see that nobody is aware of Lovelady's presence. Nobody looks at him. Nobody adjusts their path because of him. It's as though he wasn't there. He wasn't.

And don't you think that if Lovelady had been caught in a media circus involving Oswald that he would have told his wife, Patricia? She didn't know anything about it either. The squad room clip didn't surface until 1977. So, until then, nobody noticed Lovelady being there.

So, that image on the left is a freeze-frame from a movie in which they started by creating an artificial shadow and then implanting Lovelady into it. But notice that he is small and out of proportion to the others. Look at the immense size of the man closest to the camera. How could he be that much bigger than Lovelady? Their distance apart wasn't that great. How could Lovelady be so small compared to him?

Imagine that you were sitting there, and you saw this stampede of police and journalists and cameramen approaching you. Wouldn't you get up and out of the way? Or would you just sit there and let everyone walk around you? And this is police we're talking about. Don't people automatically get out of the way of the police?

Lovelady was never milling around smoking a cigarette in front of the TSBD after the assassination. And Lovelady was never in the squad room of the homicide detectives in a freak encounter with Oswald. The truth is that, in response to Harold Weisberg, the FBI went into the movie business to create phony clips of Lovelady wearing a plaid shirt in order to counter what Weisberg was saying.

And the irony is that Doorman's shirt wasn't plaid. It was just grainy. The pattern that people refer to as plaid is no pattern at all. It's only haze, distortion, and light reflection. Plaid means checkered, and there isn't a single check on Doorman's shirt. It isn't plaid!

The lie that Lovelady was Doorman has been going on, relentlessly, for 60 years. And I guarantee you that if they could have looked into the future, they would have done the smart thing, which was to destroy the Altgens6 photo as soon as they saw that Oswald was in it. No one except Altgens knew about the photo, and if they told him that they had to destroy it for "national security reasons" he would not have balked. He was a team player. He was going to get paid either way. So, what did he care? Not destroying the Altgens6 photo was probably the dumbest thing they did on November 22, 1963.
