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

 It's important to understand what you are seeing in the Zapruder film. What do you think Jackie is doing? Do you think she is holding his arm just to comfort him? No. She is holding his arm because she is pressing down on it. She is trying to get him to put his arms down; to stop holding them up like that. So, she is coaxing him to relax his arms. That's what she's doing.

However, her attempt to get him to relax his arms was futile. He couldn't put them down. His muscles were clenched in spasm, and it was beyond his control. It was the action of a nerve agent. So, the effect of her doing that was just to tip him a little bit.

So, his deltoids were in spasm, which was holding his arms up. And his biceps and brachialis muscles were also in spasm, which maintained the extreme flexion. And the result was that his elbows were jutting out like wings. So, she had one hand on his forearm and her other hand on his upper arm, and she was pressing down. And his elbow was in-between her two hands.

But, what are we seeing on the right in the Altgens photo? There, he's got this long straight arm that is extending out like a wand. There isn't the slightest bend in the elbow. He doesn't seem to have an elbow. And she has both her hands on the wand-arm, which seems to be going on forever, and way past him. How can anybody claim that these two pictures show the same thing? They don't. They are vastly different. And what we see on the right doesn't make sense. It's freaky. It is a totally unintelligible image. How can anyone claim that it's real?
