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

 Louie Steven Witt was not the Umbrella Man, and he was not a credible witness to the HSCA. He started by saying he left work on his lunch break looking for the motorcade because he wanted to heckle Kennedy with his umbrella. He said the reason was because he was a conservative guy, and the Kennedys are liberals, and he heard that umbrellas were a sore spot with them. Eventually, it came out that the umbrella symbolized Neville Chamberlain who appeased Hitler. But, Witt only mentioned Kennedy’s father.

For those that don’t know, Joseph P Kennedy Sr. was Ambassador to the UK, and in London, he held secret meetings with the German ambassador to try to deter the march to war. That was in 1939, when Witt was 15 years old. FDR, the most liberal President in US history, was leading the march to war. Conservative leaders like Senator Robert Taft were opposed to it. And Witt said he was a conservative even then, at age 15.

But, it makes no sense because if Witt was a conservative, who opposed the liberals like FDR who wanted war, and Kennedy’s father was trying to stop the war, then Witt should have liked JPK.

The truth is that FDR’s inner circle consisted of fanatical Soviet lovers, who adored Stalin and the Soviet Union. And that led FDR to send not just money and food and weapons to Stalin, but even U.S. planes. FDR loved “Uncle Joe.”

So, we are supposed to believe that this quiet little man, who had never been an activist about anything, decided to go out and heckle the President of the United States, expecting that the sight of an umbrella would cause JFK to think, “He is mocking my father!”

Are you buying that? Because I am not.

Witt said he made his way to Main Street with his umbrella, just assuming that the motorcade would go down Main since parades in Dallas usually did. So, he walked to Main, and then down Main all the way to Houston, then down Houston to Elm, and then down Elm to the Grassy Knoll, where he parked himself since it was sparsely populated. What a coincidence that it just happened to be the Kill Zone.

"There were 200,000 people standing on the side of the road in Dalles, but only one of them with an open umbrella was exactly where he was murdered, at that precise moment and at the closest possible distance." Marcel Behrens

Note that that was a lot of walking, and the sidewalk was crowded and stuffed with people. He was on his lunch break. How long are lunch breaks? Half an hour? Maybe 45 minutes, tops? And remember: he had to walk all that distance back to work. So, how could he be gone that long?

So, he gets to the Grassy Knoll, and what does he do? Wait on the sidewalk like everyone else? No. He goes up on the knoll and sits on the grass. Are you buying that? Because I’m not buying that either.

Then, when it was apparent that the motorcade was approaching, he got up. And that’s when he opened his umbrella. And it took him so long to open his umbrella, that he missed everything. He never saw JFK or Connally get shot. By the time, he got the umbrella up, a man was jumping on the limo, and then it sped away. So, Witt missed seeing the entire shooting.

We have all opened umbrellas in our lives, and we know how long it takes. Moreover, he didn’t have to obstruct his view at all. He could have opened the umbrella by holding it low in front of him or by holding it to his right. THE IDEA THAT HE HAD AN UMBRELLA IN HIS FACE THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE SHOOTING SEQUENCE IS PREPOSTEROUS. “Some people saw the President shot and his movements, but I did not because of this thing in front of me.”

That’s the bull shit he spewed. Are you buying it?

And what a farce about him and his umbrellas. His house was crawling with them. He said he had some by the door and some in his back closet, one in his car, and that he stumbled on one in the garage. And he never said he had a family. It sounded like it was just him. But, even if he did have a family, his umbrella story is still cockamamie.

And the whole thing was set up to refute Sprague and Cutler who had already published their Umbrella Gun thesis. Their diagram of the umbrella gun was shown to Witt, and he denied that it was his.

Louis Steven Witt was not Umbrella Man. He was liar and an actor. BUT, PEOPLE MUST HAVE PUT HIM UP TO IT.

They showed him this photo, and he said it was him, but he said he didn’t know the Negro man. But, if they didn’t know each other, why were they sitting so close together? People don’t do that. You don’t go sit that close to a stranger. It would be very rude, intimidating, and unnerving.

And guess what? The whole image is bogus. It can’t be real. That’s because the sign is the wrong shape. It’s square, but the sign was oblong. It was twice as wide as it was tall. I know its exact dimensions: it was 4 feet tall by 8 feet wide. The sign in the photo is square or nearly square. It is definitely not 4 x 8. So, what happened? What happened is that the sign was soon removed. It went up shortly before, and it was taken down shortly after the assassination. It was totally unwarranted and unnecessary to spoil the ambience of that park-like setting with that sign. It was put there to demarcate the start of the Kill Zone.

So, did they install a square sign for that picture? I doubt it. I think it was added to the photo.

Sprague and Cutler were right: Umbrella Man was a shooter. And Louie Steven Witt was a liar and pretender. What I have been telling you is the truth: The throat shot was taken by Umbrella Man using the umbrella gun from just a few feet away. Please share this.
