Welcome, and thank you for coming. I am here today to discuss Lee Harvey Oswald's location during the shooting of President Kennedy. He was not up on the 6th floor firing shots. He was standing in the doorway of the Texas Book Depository, and we have two photographs of him there.
One is from the NBC film taken by Dave Wiegman, although it is very blurry. I don't know if they have a better one, but they might.
You notice that his shirt was gaped open. That's because it had no buttons, except the bottom two. The other image of Oswald in the doorway is from the iconic photo taken by AP photographer James Altgens.
So, that is the Doorman on the left and Oswald on the right after his arrest. Can you see that the clothes look exactly the same? And notice that on both, the t-shirt has a vee-shaped opening. It wasn't made that way. Oswald made it that way because he had the habit of stretching his t-shirts. However, the veeishness of his t-shirt fluctuated. If he had it tucked in a lot in front, it pulled the t-shirt down and increased the vee. If he had it tucked in a lot in back, it pulled it up in front and reduced the vee. The collar of his t-shirt always looked stretched, but it didn't always look as vee as this. But, notice how well their faces match too. The eyes, the nose, and the curvature of the face all match very well. Here's another example.
That is the same man wearing the same clothes. And here is one more example.
So there, we see the gaping shirt in three images. But, look at the middle one because you can't make sense of it without recognizing the alternations that were done to it. The man behind Oswald wasn't there. His image was placed there. In today's lingo, you would say that he was pasted in there, and it was to hide the distinctive look of Oswald's sihrt. You notice how close he was to Oswald. He was impossibly close to him. It is impossible to duplicate that image, and people have tried. He is covering up Oswald's left shoulder, which should be visible. Also, the black man beneath Oswald wasn't there. That is, he wasn't in that spot. There was a black man there, whose name was Carl Jones, but he was standing distant to Oswald. Look at the Wiegman image again.
So, that is where Carl was, and he was out of view to Altgens' camera because of the angularity of the shot. It's called parallax effect. The west side of the doorway was cut off to Altgens' camera. So, where did they get that image of Carl to drop in beneath Oswald? They got it from a slide taken by Congressman Phil Willis, who was standing across the street from the entrance.
They cropped and enlarged the image on the left to make the image on the right. Oswald's shirt was tattered and torn at the bottom, and they had to cover it up, or it would have given away that it was him.
Then, they changed the top of Oswald's head, giving him the crown of Billy Lovelady, another TSBD employee. But, the source image that they used of Lovelady was one of him from the 1950s.
Do you see how identical those hairlines are? That's because it is the same hairline. They moved it over. They didn't know that Lovelady was a rapidly balding young man and had lost quite a lot of hair by 1963. Here is a photo of Lovelady from February 1964 that was taken by Mark Lane, and it is the only reliable image of Lovelady that we have.
So, that was Lovelady approximately 3 months after the assassination, and you can see that his hair on top was sparse. Billy Lovelady was not the infamous man in the doorway, but he was in the doorway. In fact, he was standing quite close to Oswald.
Lovelady's face was blackened out because he was Lovelady. Since they were going to claim that Oswald was Lovelady, they couldn't have two Loveladys. So, they had to get rid of Lovelady's face.
Now, Oswald said that he was "out with Bill Shelley in front: and Captain Will Fritz wrote it down.
FBI Agent James Hosty also wrote down that Oswald said he went out in front to watch the Presidential Parade.
So, Oswald said he ate lunch in the 1st floor lunch room and then went outside to watch the P. (Presidential) Parade. And that is exactly what he did.The fact is that the truth about the JFK assassination is very dark and monstrously so. JFK was killed, according to Attorney Vincent Salandria, by "the national security state" which included Vice President Lyndon Johnson, former CIA Director Allen Dulles (who was fired by Kennedy), FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover (who was mostly involved in the coverup) and quite a few others in high places. If they thought they could have beaten JFK at the polls in 1964, they would have done that. But, the Republican frontrunner at the time was Nelson Rockefeller, and he was polling way behind JFK, whose popularity was soaring. They wanted to escalate the Vietnam War and send American troops there. They wanted to cease the peaceniking that JFK was doing with the Soviet Union. They wanted to get tough with Castro, meaning to kill him or at least overthrow him. And there were other issues, for instance, JFK having issued U.S Treasury certificates in lieu of Federal Reserve dollars. JFK was a rebel- a rebel with a cause. You might say he was challenging the authority of the Deep State, which no President is allowed to do. President Trump is doing it right now, but he is the first President to do it since JFK.
The American people will have to reckon with the evil of what happened, which was so much worse, in scope and magnitude, than one lone nut acting alone. If only it was just that. But, it is incumbent upon all of us to face this decadent part of our past, to make sure that nothing like it ever happens again.
