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

Let's consider what Dan Rather said on November 25, 1963 after viewing the original Zapruder film. 

He said that you can see the limo making a left turn from Houston Street onto Elm. Well, you know very well that we don't see that in Zapruder film today So, they cut that out.

Then, he said that 35 yards from the intersection, you can see the President lurch forward from being hit with the first shot. He demonstrated. 

You know that we don't see that in the Zapruder film. 

Think about how short 35 yards is. So, imagine a football field and the distance from the 50 yard line to the end zone. It's about 2/3 of that distance. 

Well, he could not have been talking about the shot when JFK was behind the freeway sign because that freeway sign was a lot farther than 35 yards from the intersection. It had to be at least 60 yards.

So, forget about the Single Bullet Theory. JFK was first shot in the back about 35 yards from the intersection. Then, he was shot in the throat when he was behind the Stemmons freeway sign in relation to Zapruder. This diagram shows the sequence of the shots that struck him.

So now, the question is: if he was stuck shallowly in the back, at a harmless spot in his back, which did no significant physical damage, and no mental damage whatsoever, why didn't he respond? Why didn't he take action; evasive, defensive action? Why didn't he get down and get Jackie to get down? Why didn't he tell the driver to floor it? Why is it that he just sat there and did absolutely nothing? 

The answer is: he must have been incapacitated, and I mean mentally. He wasn't incapacitated physically. It was like nothing more than a scratch physically. But very rapidly, the toxic payload of that shot start circulating in his system, shutting down his cognitive ability, and turning him into a zombie; a spastic, immobile zombie.  

That really is what happened to him. So, stop fighting it. There is no other theory that explains the facts of the case and what we see of him in the Zapruder film than this. It has to be this.
