Hey Backes! Did you know that there were 5 pages of the Fritz notes? Most people are only familiar with the first page in which he wrote "out with Bill Shelley in front."

But, guess what Fritz wrote down on the second page, Backes?

He wrote: "On 11/22/63 rode bus."

He wrote: "got trans"

He wrote: "got off bus after seeing jam"

He wrote: "got cab .85 fare"

Now, you think the bus ride and the cab ride were fabricated. But, these were notes that Fritz wrote to and for himself. He never intended for them to be seen by anybody but him. And, they were never seen by anybody but him until after his death in 1984.

So, why would Fritz falsify his own notes to himself?

Methinks Oswald rode the bus and took the cab.

So, Mr. 19 is in the UK, just like bpete, who is Haydon.  You're not very observant. You gave it away, you dumb bloke.

He says: "You draw in a white arrow and try to claim that you didn't mark in the area of examination?"

That's right; I didn't mark in the area of examination. The white arrow was drawn in the black area, but I had nothing to point out in the black area. I wasn't asking anyone to examine anything in the black area. I was pointing only to the mark on the forearm.

Haydon said I found a "black speck" and that when you take the arrowhead away which I drew, you have only the black speck. But that is not a speck. It is a line.

I want you to notice that the line is drawn at the same angle to the horizontal as the arrow that Frazier drew to Doorman. Why would that be? It's because Lovelady took his cue from Fraizer. It's only natural for that to happen. Remember that Frazier's arrow was already there.

So, those two planes are coming in for a landing at the exact same angle.

That line of Lovelady's is not a "speck". It is no more a speck than the line of Frazier's is a "smear". Lovelady's line is just as precise, just as deliberate, just as purposeful as the arrow that Frazier drew. It's just that we can't see the head of Lovelady's arrow because it's in the black.

But, that may not always have been the case. It's possible that the head of Lovelady's arrow WAS visible after he did it, but someone took a felt pen and smeared through it.to wipe it out. The reason I suspect that is because the head of Frazier's arrow is detectable even in the black. Take a look.

And do you realize what that means? If the head of Frazier's arrow is detectable even in the black, it means that Lovelady's arrow, if he drew it to Doorman, should also be detectable.

So, Haydon, get busy trying to find Lovelady's arrow. Use any copy of CE 369 that you like. That arrow has to be there. Right? But, I won't be looking for it because I already found it. You're looking at it. And it's no speck; it's a line, and it's the tail of an arrow.

Mr. 19 thinks he has something to laugh about, but that's only because he is a very stupid man.

This isn't marked in the area of examination. The area of examination is the forearm. I haven't marked the forearm. I've marked above it, and I have marked below it, but I haven't marked in it.

And I'm more than happy to show it without any markings at all. The line is just as evident.

The purpose of the white box is to show that the arm of Frazier's arrow, which was drawn black on black, is still visible and distinguishable. But, you can see the tail of Lovelady's arrow on Black Hole Man's arm, and that is the only thing it can be.

So, it's time for you to stop laughing, Mr. 19, unless you enjoy laughing at yourself.

No, Backes.  The Doorman is the most definitive issue in all of JFK assassination research. It is the most powerful evidence for Oswald's innocence. And it is the greatest threat in the world today to the official story of the JFK assassination. There is nothing narrow about it, not in any context.

What's narrow is your mind. What's small is your intelligence. And what's non-existent is your significance.

Backes, you have the speed and intelligence of a snail, and like a snail in the road, your fate is certain.

You, Backes, are a filthy, rotten Kennedy-killer who pretends to be a CT. Your reputation as JFK assassination is shot, completely shot.

Just today, I mailed to Dr. Gerald McKnight a letter from me plus 22 printed pages from your blog. I told him how you are venomously fighting Oswald in the doorway, and why he should realize that you are an enemy of JFK truth. And, that's not all I've done, Backes. You want take it up a notch? So do I.  

One thing Haydon and I are in agreement about is that this statement by Joseph Ball is the crux of the matter concerning what Lovelady did with his arrow:

Ball: You've got an arrow in the dark and one in the white pointing towards you.

That's it! He said nothing else to clarify anything. Shall we just assume from the sound of it that both arrows were pointing to the same person, Doorway Man? No, we shall not. This is the JFK assassination we are talking about, and there is no place for such pleasantries here.

Ball COULD have clarified it. He could have said:

"Let the record show that both Mr. Lovelady and Mr. Frazier drew arrows pointing to the same figure- the man with the unbuttoned, long-sleeved shirt and exposed t-shirt whom we call Doorway Man."

Ball didn't say that, and he didn't say anything like it with Billy Lovelady. But, he did do something like that with Buell Frazier.

Mr. BALL - Do you recognize this fellow?
Mr. FRAZIER - That is Billy, that is Billy Lovelady.
Mr. BALL - Billy?
Mr. FRAZIER - Right
Mr. BALL - Let's take a marker and make an arrow down that way. That mark is Billy Lovelady?
Mr. FRAZIER - Right.
Mr. BALL - That is where you told us you were standing a moment ago.
Mr. FRAZIER - Right.
Mr. BALL - In front of you to the right over to the wall?
Mr. FRAZIER - Yes.
Mr. BALL - Is this a Commission exhibit?
We will make this a Commission Exhibit No. 369.
(The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 369 for identification.)
Mr. BALL - That is written in. The arrow marks Billy Lovelady on Commission's Exhibit No. 369.

Note that Doorman was not standing "to the right over to the wall". He was standing in the very center of the doorway on the top landing. It only looked like he was over to the wall because of the parallax effect of Altgens angle. From Altgens angle, Doorman's right shoulder got tucked behind the white column, but it wasn't really. He was nowhere near it. We can see in the Wiegman film that Doorman was standing right smack dab in the center of the doorway. Only Roy Lewis was standing over by the wall.

But, my point is that Ball did try to identify, by location, the figure to whom Frazier had drawn his arrow.

Now, let's see how it went down for Danny Arce:

Mr. BALL. Just 1 minute, I want to show you a picture. I show you Commission Exhibit No. 369. I show you this picture. See this man in this picture?
Mr. ARCE. Yeah.
Mr. BALL. Recognize him?
Mr. ARCE. Yes, that's Billy Lovelady.
Mr. BALL. Just to identify it clearly, the man on the steps---well, you see the man on the steps, do you not?
Mr. ARCE. Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. He is a white man, isn't he?
Mr. ARCE. Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. And you see his picture just above the picture of two colored people, is that correct; would you describe it like that?
Mr. ARCE. Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. I am not going to mark this purposely because other witnesses have to see it.
Mr. ARCE. Yes.
Mr. BALL. Did you say that is Billy Lovelady?
Mr. ARCE. Yes, that is Billy Lovelady.
Mr. BALL. Now, there is only one face that is clearly shown within the entrance-way of the Texas School Book Depository Building, isn't there?
Mr. ARCE. Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. And only one face of a person who is standing on the steps of the Depository Building entrance?
Mr. ARCE. Yeah.
Mr. BALL. And that one man you see there---
Mr. ARCE. Yes, that's Billy Lovelady.

Wow, look at all that clarification! He reduced it to Doorman by noting that he was white, that his is the only face that is seen; that he is the one above the two "colored" women. So, he made great effort here to establish that the figure they were talking about was Doorway Man.

But, what did Ball do with Lovelady?

Mr. BALL - I have got a picture here, Commission Exhibit 369. Are you on that picture?
Mr. LOVELADY - Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL - Take a pen or pencil and mark an arrow where you are.
Mr. LOVELADY - Where I thought the shots are?
Mr. BALL - No; you in the picture.
Mr. LOVELADY - Oh, here (indicating).
Mr. BALL - Draw an arrow down to that; do it in the dark. You got an arrow in the dark and one in the white pointing toward you. Where were you when the picture was taken?
Mr. LOVELADY - Right there at the entrance of the building standing on the the step, would be here (indicating).
Mr. BALL - You were standing on which step?
Mr. LOVELADY - It would be your top level.
Mr. BALL - The top step you were standing there?
Mr. LOVELADY - Right.

Ball said nothing to use words to establish that Lovelady had drawn his arrow to Doorway Man.

Why? It's because Lovelady didn't draw his arrow to Doorway Man. He drew it to Black Hole Man. Ball was just finessing the situation, quickly trying to change the subject.

And the proof is that we found Lovelady's arrow and it indeed points to Black Hole Man. And not Steve Haydon or Joseph Backes or Robin Unger or anyone else has found any other arrow to compete with this one. This is the only one that exists. Lovelady was Black Hole Man, and Ball was just playing it slick, sleazey lawyer that he was. And now, Haydon is following in his footsteps, trying to snow us.

• Let's talk about Lovelady at the HSCA. Why didn't they have him come in to testify? In 1976, they had Groden take pictures of him, but why not bring him in to answer questions?
  
  I know that Groden got Lovelady and his wife to sign short statements. But, that is not the same as undergoing questioning. In questioning, you are asked questions that involve cross-examination.
  
  Would Lovelady have lied? We know that Lovelady didn't even want to lie to Joseph Ball in 1964. He subtly drew an arrow to Black Hole Man to indicate himself- and note that Richard Hooke pegged Lovelady as Black Hole Man long before we even found the arrow.
  
  The fact is: the HSCA did not want to talk to Lovelady. They were afraid to talk to Lovelady. They avoided talking to Lovelady. They were investigating whether it was him or another man in a photograph, and the other man was dead. So, how were they not going to talk to him? How do you conduct an investigation without talking to the central figure?
  
  Here is a hypothetical interrogation of Lovelady circa 1976:
  
  "Mr. Lovelady, you are claiming to be the Man in the Doorway. If that's you, then why was your shirt so unbuttoned? And why was it buttoned up soon afterwards during the police checkpoint? That was you in the Martin film, was it not? But, you told the Warren Commission that you left the entrance right away for the railroad tracks, before Officer Baker even reached the steps and long before there was any police checkpoint, and that when you returned you didn't go back to the front; rather, you went around to the back and re-entered through the back door. Therefore, how could you be photographed in front in the Martin film?"
  
  "You're seen smoking in that film but with no pack or box of cigarettes in your pocket, so do you recall how that happened? Was it your last cigarette? What did you do with the empty pack? Or did you bum a cigarette off someone else? Please expain."
  
  "Also, in that picture, your shirt seems to have a big pocket-flap like most flannel shirts do, but there's no flap on the pictures you took with Mr. Groden recently, so please explain that."
  
  "Also, you've obviously lost a lot of weight since then, so please explain why the shirt still fits you snugly. Did it shrink in the wash?"
  
  "I'll tell you what, Mr. Lovelady, we are just going to show you the 6 second clip from the Martin film because we want you to watch it and confirm that it's you. Many people think that that man really doesn't look like you, that his face and his neck and his build are different from yours. So, we want you to look at him and state for the record that he was you."
  
  "And then, we want you to look at the footage from the Dallas PD and confirm that that was also you seated in the squad room when Oswald was led by. In your Warren Commission testimony you stated that you didn't see Oswald again after you broke for lunch. You related how you and your friends pulled a prank on him, that he asked you to hold the elevator, but you didn't. You left him stranded on the 5th floor. That's what you said. Then, you said you didn't see him EVER again THAT DAY. So, did you forget about the walk-by at the PD? That's hard to believe, Mr. Lovelady. So, let's have you look at this video and see if it jogs your memory."
  
  "Now, Mr. Lovelady, let's talk about your experience with Mr. Ball with the arrow-drawing. We have here CE 369, the actual exhibit. We can see the arrow that Mr. Frazier drew pointing to the Doorway Man, but we know from the testimony that you also drew an arrow. But, we are finding no other arrow pointing to Doorway Man, and we have had this analyzed by experts for ink residues on the photograph. The only other mark we are finding is a discreet, concise mark on the forearm of the man standing next to Doorway man. This other man has both arms up vizoring his eyes from the sun. This man's face is totally obscured. Please tell us who he was. Also tell us if that mark we see is part of the arrow that you drew because, by process of elimination alone, we are forced to conclude that that is your arrow."
  
  "Mr. Lovelady, in your Warren Commission testimony there was no frank statement by you that you were the Doorway Man. Here is the actual testimony, and frankly, it's vague as to whom you drew your arrow to:"
  
  Mr. BALL - Draw an arrow down to that; do it in the dark. You got an arrow in the dark and one in the white pointing toward you. Where were you when the picture was taken?
  Mr. LOVELADY - Right there at the entrance of the building standing on the the step, would be here (indicating).
  Mr. BALL - You were standing on which step?
  Mr. LOVELADY - It would be your top level.
  Mr. BALL - The top step you were standing there?
  Mr. LOVELADY - Right.
  
  "Now, Mr. Ball was explicit with both Buell Frazier and Danny Arce, but he was not explicit with you about which figure he was talking about. Why do you think that is?"
  
  "Also, Mr. Lovelady, let's go into your FBI photo shoot. You were photographed with your shirt unbuttoned like Doorman. They stated in writing that you reported wearing those clothes, a short-sleeved striped shirt and blue jeans. But now, they are saying it was a mistake. But, why would you pose like Doorman, with your shirt arranged like Doorman's, if it was not the same shirt?"
  
  "Mr. Lovelady, do you swear under oath, under penalty of prosecution for perjury, that you were the Man in the Doorway wearing the unbuttoned longsleeved shirt and the exposed white t-shirt? Was that you?"
