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

 When I first started studying the Altgens photo, I was so focused on the doorway, that I didn’t notice that the whole photo was temporally altered. It is time-shifted and space-shifted. The “story” of the Altgens photo is that it was taken after JFK was shot in the throat, which means that it was taken when the limo was across from the pergola. But, that isn’t true. It was taken before he was shot in the throat, when the limo was still high on the hill, across from the TSBD, just 30 yards from the intersection.

But, the photo shows him reacting to the throat shot, and I tell you that that imagery is fake. And I can prove it.

So, where on Elm Street was JFK when the photo was taken? Well, we’ve got the lineup of cars to use as a measuring stick. There are just 3 cars behind Kenndy, and then you’re in the intersection. They’re all close together except for the distance between the Queen Mary and LBJ’s car, and I suspect that’s because LBJ told the driver to stay back, knowing that bullets were going to be flying.

So, JFK’s distance from the intersection was the length of the trunk of the limo, the length of the Queen Mary, the gap to LBJ’s car, the length of LBJ’s car (which was a compact) and then the length of the VEEP SS car, which was also rather small. Add that up, and that’s how far JFK was from Houston St. And that means that he wasn’t far from the intersection.  And it means that he wasn’t shot in the throat yet.

Also, notice how curved the road is. Look on the right at the angle of the curb. It’s round. That is a lot of curve. Doesn’t that have to be the curve from Houston St.? What else could it be?

Then, right there on the curve, there is a guy clapping. That’s supposed to be Charles Brehm, except the road wasn’t curved where he was. It was straight. And he wasn’t up by the intersection across from the TSBD. He was down the hill across from the pergola. He was in the country; not in the city. That’s how I like to put it. So, they just installed those clapping hands there to represent him; to tell the story that this was all happening much lower on Elm and much farther on the intersection.

Now, Altgens said in his testimony that he pressed the shudder to take his picture right when he heard the first shot. The throat shot was NOT the first shot. And even it were, the photo shows JFK and Jackie after the shot, when he was in a panic and she was attending to him. The first shot was the back shot, and it did strike him high on the hill, just a little past the intersection. And, as I have told you, it wasn’t a bullet. It was an ice flechette containing a toxic payload, including a nerve agent.

Now, if you haven’t been following me, and you are hearing it for the first time, I get it that it sounds looney. But, it is not looney. The Zapruder film shows us that JFK suffered a complete mental collapse, including the inability to speak. His muteness was not due to the throat shot because it didn’t hit his larynx. It was due to his mental collapse. And his bizarre muscle spasms, seen in the Zapruder film, were due to nerve agent toxicity. Moreover, once you dismiss the ridiculous Single Bullet Theory, you realize that he had only a very shallow wound in his back. A metal bullet could not have stopped that short, but an ice bullet could because ice is unstable and bursts easily.

Notice that none of the spectators in the Altgens photo seem to be aware that anything is wrong. They are smiling.  That’s because the photo was taken very early and long before JFK was shot in the throat.

Now, look at Clint Hil on the standing board. Notice how relaxed he looks. He is NOT poised to act. He is not about to go into motion. He is not about to jump off and catch up with the limo. He is totally planted there like he doesn’t have a care in the world. He is not aware of anything, and he is not going anywhere. It hasn’t reached that point yet. It’s far from it.

Now, let’s consider the imagery of JFK and Jackie. His left hand is too big, and his right hand is shriveled. His arm is extending out like a vacuum wand, way past the limit of his body. Where she is grasping it is way beyond him. His elbow was bent. That long thing can’t possibly be his arm.  She might as well be a mile away from him.  It is a bogus image that replaced whatever was there. And what was there was JFK reacting to having been shot in the back.

So, they developed the Altgens photo and saw right away that it contained Oswald in the doorway, and it also showed JFK reacting to being shot in the back high on the hill, which no one was supposed to know about, let alone see.  They should have destroyed it instantly. But, those brazen, reckless operatives, drunk with arrogance and power, cock-sure they could get away with anything, decided to fix it.  And they blew it big-time. And they even added the hole in the windshield. They must have heard about it, and they wanted to link this photo to it. Why? Because it came later. They didn't care about the implications. If people wanted to think that JFK was shot through the windshield, they didn't care. They knew it wasn't going to go anywhere.
