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

 I have made a big discovery tonight, and I hope you'll share it. It clears everything up about the Prayer Man clip, and it proves that Prayer Man was NOT Oswald.

All along, I have had doubts about the authenticity of the Prayer Man clip. They said it was from the Darnell film, but we don't see it in that film. We only see it as a separate clip.

Look at this frame. There is an arrow pointing to Baker, whom we saw running to the steps. And he's running fast. And, there is an arrow pointing to Prayer Man at the top of the steps, who never moves at all.

The clip ends very soon after this, but from watching it, we have to assume that Baker flew up the stairs. Roy Truly said that Baker pushed people out of the way. We don't see Truly here, and why not? I'll tell you in a moment.

So, if Prayer Man wasn't going anywhere (and we have to assume that from how this unfolds) and he was Oswald, then it would mean that Baker passed Oswald in the doorway as he ran up the steps,. Then, wouldn't he remember him if he saw him little more than a minute later on the 2nd floor? Remember: Baker was a cop, and cops are trained to be observant.

And keep something in mind that is very important: Oswald got to the 2nd floor lunch room BEFORE Baker. Baker was in the stairwell while Oswald was already in the vestibule of the lunch room. Baker saw him through the glass in the door, just as Oswald was about to enter the lunch room proper. Then, Baker followed him in there, and once he got in there, he was facing the opening to the lunch room, and he saw Oswald again. He said Oswald had gone about 20 feet into the lunch room by the time he saw him again.

So, how could Oswald beat Baker to the lunch room if Prayer Man was Oswald? Baker was a cop on an urgent mission, and Prayer Man is just standing there doing nothing. He's like a lump on a log. We can't assume that Prayer Man went anywhere prior to Baker going inside. So, Baker had a head-start, and he was the one in an urgent state of mind and the drive of a cop.

Obviously, you can't claim that Prayer Man followed Baker. That doesn't work. So, if you're going to claim that he's Oswald, you have to say that he went a different way, which means that he used the stairs in the southeast corner and then walked across the great expanse of the second floor office area to get to the lunch room in the northwest corner of the building. But, even if you suggest that he did that, he was not going to be rushing the way Baker was. Baker was looking for a killer. So, how could Prayer Man have gotten to the lunch room ahead of Baker? He couldn't.

Now, I'm going to tell you something that I just figured out tonight, just in time for 61st anniversary. As I said, I have long doubted that the Prayer Man clip was from Darnell because we don't see it in the Darnell film. But, I've had an epiphany tonight: The reason we don't see the Prayer Man clip in the Darnell film is because they removed it before they released it. Why? BECAUSE THEY DID NOT WANT TO SHOW THAT DOORWAY. Why didn't they want to show the doorway? It was because Doorman was gone. Oswald had left. And he did use those stairs in the southeast corner and walk across the second floor. He was already on his way to the lunch room, and that's why he beat Baker there. So, they didn't want to show the doorway without a Doorman. And they also didn't want to show the other people who were there, and that's because they knew there were other images of the doorway, which had been altered, such as Altgens and Wiegman, and they couldn't show the Darnell doorway since it would contradict those other images of the doorway. There was enough disparity already. Could anyone say that the Altgens doorway looks like the Wiegman doorway? No!

So, they just cut it out of the Darnell film. It was the quickest and easiest solution. And by the way, the Couch film shows Baker on his run to the doorway in a very similar manner, and it's not surprising because Couch and Darnell were on the same press car. I just found that out tonight.

So, at the time, they didn't know what to do with this clip of the Darnell doorway. And it was a redundant problem that called for different solutions. In the Towner film, when the camera passed the doorway, they just blackened the whole doorway. In the Hughes film, they put that 13 year old girl up on the pedestal and blew her up big, so that she obscured the doorway. Yes, that was fake too. But, in this case, they just took it out and put it aside. They didn't throw it away. And as time passed, they got to work cleansing that Darnell doorway. They got artists to just replace the images of the people who were there with crude, cartoonish, unrecognizable ones that don't even look photographic. And you can see it in this frame. That jumble on the right side is not photographic. It is art; crappy art. The guy at the top of the steps in the white shirt isn't real. I'm telling you, as a doctor, as a chiropractor, that he is not a human being. Do you see the way he is leaning? No human being could be configured like that. And Prayer Man isn't real either.

So, what I'm saying now is that, yes, the Prayer Man clip really WAS from the Darnell film, but Prayer Man wasn't it. He is fictional. And the reason we don't see Roy Truly, who should be there, is because he got thrown out with the bath water too.

It's very unfortunate that Oliver Stone put the Prayer Man clip in JFK. He got bamboozled. And Stone also depicted Oswald eating in the 2nd floor lunch room during the motorcade. That was false too. Oswald said he ate in the 1st floor lunch room, and Fritz, Hosty, and Bookhout all wrote it down. We have it writing 3 times! Why would Oswald lie about where he ate lunch? And if you realize, as I do, that he was innocent, why would he lie about anything?

So, the eerie and ironic fact is that Prayer Man was added to the clip not to represent Oswald, but to represent Lovelady. In other words, Prayer Man is supposed to be Doorman, and in there concocted story, Doorman was Lovelady. But, the fact is that PRAYER MAN WAS NOBODY. He is fictional. It was all damage control. And unfortunately, Oliver Stone fell for it.

Oswald was the Altgens Doorman. There is no doubt about it. It's his gaunt face, his slender body, his stance (clasping his hands in front of his body, left over right) his stretched, deformed t-shirt, his tattered, long-sleeved Russian shirt. We can match all that.

And the bogus Prayer Man claim has been a deliberate attempt to mislead and muddy the waters with a false narrative.

As I said, this is big find, and you should share it because Prayer Man died tonight.
