Welcome.....

Raff* Sink...the man, the myth, the mudder rucker

Founded in Fetzering Part 7d

As Raff* takes refuge in his latest rabbit hole, I'm going to wind down the discussion of Raff*'s reasons why Billy Lovelady can't be Billy Lovelady.....there will be future discussion on Lovelady.

Years ago, Lance Uppercut created a series of GIFs to show the very discernible pattern of Billy Lovelady's shirt. (if you.re new here, there's a link right over there to his page >>>>>)

Lovelady's shirt had a series of horizontal and vertical, black and white stripes There was something unique about the stripes as well. The horizontal white stripe alternated as to being either above or below the black stripe.

Lance offered the following... He took sections of Lovelady's shirt and placed them side by side on the Altgens 6 photograph to show the alignment of the horizontal stripes.

Lance also produced this where he actually overlaid the sections of shirt to show how well they matched.

 Lance does good work.

Raff* has written blog after blog trying to explain how his advanced training as Chiropractor and starvation Dr. allows him greater insight into how Lovelady's fashion choice was actually Oswald's shirt. That's actually how Raff* convinced Jim Fetzer to turn his warped spotlight on Raff*. Fetzer swallowed Raff*'s bullshit about pseudo-lapels, thicker vs. thinner, it all comes down to the shirt.

Raff* made a video that was on Youtube but it was taken down after it was ridiculed by many. He remade the video. I don't normally directly link to the idiot's stuff but I'll make an exception for this...

It's the lapel folks. Different shirt means a different man. It's settled. Everyone can pack up their laser levels and card tables and reproduced limos and conferences and nonsensical books and go home.

Raff* solved it. Fetzer was waiting for the part where Raff* explained how Da Joooos were involved but got bored and moved on with his Judyth Very Faker project. Then we had Sandy Hook and Raff* was left alone on his soapbox while moths fluttered through the twisted illumination brought on by Fetzer's spotlight.

Hollow footsteps echoed across the stage and the ominous sound of an electrical throw switch left Raff* alone, in the dark. His nemesis Judyth had taken the warmth of illumination and reduced it to a cricket, in heat. Judyth stole his man. (She's a playa...you shoulda read the book).

So Raff* changed  his theyory to one of simple cabeza chicanery. Someone only altered Oswald's head to make him look more like Lovelady.

This is Raff*'s argument in a nut shell. It had to be either Oswald or Lovelady.

Well, um....no Raff*. Lovelady was seen standing in and identified in the photo as standing in that spot, at that moment in time.

Oswald wasn't. By anyone. Ever.

Now we get to the section on the OIC website that gives all of the reasons that Billy Lovelady cannot be Billy Lovelady. I apologize for this part taking this long to post. Quite frankly, it's hard to read such constant bullshit and know where to begin. This portion of the OIC website is the next most ridiculous, only behind the 7 anomalies which I will cover soon.

Here we go....

Sorry to burst Raff*'s bubble, but there are multiple, reliable images of Billy Lovelady. Raff* just refuses to admit it, because it destroys his own delusion.

 Billy Lovelady was a guy that happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. His name has been dragged through the mud by Raff* Sink and the OIC for simply showing up to work and watching the "parade" as the President was killed. He was hounded by the likes of Mark Lane and posthumously, by Raff* Sink for simply being a guy that resembled an arrested Lee Harvey Oswald, from over 200 feet away, in a grainy black and white photo. His existence and early demise was a perfect opportunity for whackjobs around the world to make his life meaningless, by wiping him from the steps of the TSBD and claiming their golden haired loser was actually the one standing there. It's all a bunch of bullshit and quite sickening if you think about it.

I'm not sure why Raff* has chosen this photo, as being the only reliable photo of Lovelady, unless it's because moonbat Mark Lane hired someone to take it.

The entire paragraph above is pure bullshit.

It has been pointed out to Raff* repeatedly, that there are plenty of examples of people with thinning hair where their hair looks thinner under certain conditions. Raff* can't grasp the simple. Everything has a sinister origin. In the photo above, Lovelady is looking down while walking but according to Raff*, people don't do that. Just recently in his famous "floating hat" picture, he claims that is impossible for someone to look down while walking.....

Apparently, Raff* has no knowledge of blind people walking around every day. But then Raff* is blind to most things that people with common sense understand. Billy Lovelady would never bring food up and down an open outer shirt. People's hair always looks the same regardless of lighting or photographic conditions.
Raff* Sink is a walking contradiction. Police officers can't look down and walk but in the only "reliable" photo of Billy Lovelady, Lovelady can.

Here is Lance Uppercut schooling Raff* on his failure to understand how photographs work...

https://oswaldinthedoorwaynotreally.wordpress.com/2014/06/05/zero-zip-zilch-updated-plus-further-update-and-just-one-more/

Now for Raff*'s ear collage....

You can clearly see that Lovelady's ear in the left picture sticks out from his head, further than Oswald's. Raff* chooses to make a comparison with the only "reliable" picture of Lovelady, on the right because with Lovelady's head looking down, it gives the impression that his ears stick out further than on the left, but they don't.

There's more...

Now Raff* chooses to make comparisons with pictures that he says were altered. How can you make a comparison between pictures if you know one was altered? Raff* is full of crap. The picture on the left shows his ear sticking out. The photo on the right shows his ears stick out to the side and don't lay back.

Raff* Sink is a two bit con man trying to claim the he proved the impossible. Unfortunately for Raff*, Billy Lovelady is Billy Lovelady. And Raff* will certainly say more about that later.

Raff* likes to make up words. There is no "hard" version of anything. One photo was developed and it was copied altering the contrast of the photo. But Raff* can't tell you which is which because he doesn't know the source of the photos. He does a yahoo search and pulls things from other websites and never checks to see where the image originated. So according to Raff*, one of the mysterious "they" made a version of the photo hard for some nefarious purpose.

Again, pure bullshit. Raff* has no proof that anyone did anything for a specific purpose. Billy Lovelady apparently had a habit of wearing his shirt partially unbuttoned. He did it on that day and on Novermber 22 when he was standing in the doorway of the TSBD. Proof of this is that he was captured by two news cameras, in the police department, when they brought Oswald in after arrest. Raff* has no proof that the FBI asked Lovelady to do anything. Raff* repeatedly states that Lovelady claimed to be wearing a red and white stripped shirt up until March of 1964. That's strange when you consider that he identified himself in Altgens 6 within a day after the shooting and recognized himself in copies of Altgens 6 that appeared in newspapers and magazines. He even pointed out that fact to the FBI on the day they said he said he was wearing a red and white stripped shirt.

Bullshit. Lovelady identified himself in a copy of Altgens 6 when the FBI questioned him within a day of the assassination.

Raff* has been harping on the statement by the FBI claiming that Lovelady stated he was wearing a red and white stripped shirt. However, Raff* tries to downplay something pointed out to him by Robin Unger years ago....Lovelady also identified himself in Altgens 6 on that day. 

Now why didn't the FBI catch the fact that Lovelady said he was the "Doorman" and yet wasn't wearing a red and white stripped shirt? The FBI fucked up. Wasn't the first time in this case. But Raff* insists that Lovelady didn't claim to be the "Doorman" until May. That again, is bullshit....

And it wasn't just Lovelady making the claim....

Raff* has been shown this evidence, before. It doesn't matter to Raff* because he can still holler FAKE!

There is one still photograph of Billy Lovelady wearing a plaid shirt on November 22, 1963 and it was sent around the world....

The film from which the still shot above was taken, is legit.

The proof is the film taken by Hughes....

There's Billy Lovelady with his bald spot and reverse widow's peak standing on the steps of the TSBD.
A perfect example of how two different cameras can capture the same thing and it look different. Raff* claims that both of the films are fake but has absolutely no proof to back up his claim. None. I repeat, None.

Dr. Wrone is another crackpot who happened upon the JFK scene prior to Raff*. But Raff* thinks that his own inability to research a subject proves his claims to be true. Instead of doing the research, Raff* screams FAKE! and expects the world to believe him. Raff* is an idiot. The information behind the DCA film is out there for anyone with "google" to find. Raff*'s hero, Harold Weisberg has the information from Trask's Pictures of the Pain right there in his archive that describes how the film came about. But that would mean that Raff* would have to give up his ripped-off crusade. I say ripped-off because Raff* is just regurgitating 50 year old tripe with a new "fashion sense" twist. The guy went from the "bowels" of the medical world, Chiropractics to "fasting" Doctor which is even lower on the evolutionary chain of quackery. Give me a fucking break.....

Here's Raff*'s most recent comments about the Martin film...

No, fuck you Raff*. The majority of researchers find the Martin film to be corroboration of the claims that Billy Lovelady was exactly who he claimed to be...the guy standing in the doorway of the TSBD as captured in Altgens 6.

If Raff* had taken the trouble to research the films he's ripped off, he might have found out that one piece was enhanced or cleaned up. But that's too much work for Raff*. He'd rather stay ignorant to facts because if he admitted that the martin film was legit, he'd have to remove a good portion of his website and a bazillion blog posts. Keep in mind that Raff* claimed that the Martin film proved Lovelady was definitely wearing a plaid shirt on the day of the assassination. Then when he realized his screw up, he screamed FAKE!

Raff* be pissed.....

I continue with the rantings of Raff* Sink and his band of Incompetent Clowns...

Keep in mind whenever you see the color photo of Billy Lovelady above, that his is the movie that Raff* said conclusively proves that Billy Lovelady did not wear a red and white stripped, short sleeve shirt on the day of the assassination, except that the image is fake and isn't Billy Lovelady but actually stand-in used by the mysterious "they" but the mysterious "they" forgot to have his shirt unbuttoned and went back and added a white sliver to the fake image of a fake Lovelady. You got that?

Also notice the following (you'll see why at the end of this section)... that the vertical white stripes above his pocket tend to fade out and the horizontal white and black stripes are very pronounced. Notice also, that the white and black stripes alternate top and bottom order. The bottom most set near the tail of the shirt show a dark black stripe under a white stripe. Just above is the next set with the black stripe now above the white stripe.

Raff* can write for days and days about the exact same thing under the premise that the more he repeats something, the more true it becomes. Couple that with Raff*'s ability to make declaratory statements without offering any proof and you have the OIC Oswald-Lovelady-Doorman comparison in a nutshell.

How unfortunate for Raff* that Oswald didn't put on his magical, hybrid shirt-jacket until after he went to his room at the boarding house and went to the picture show.

Raff* Sink has been spouting the same bloviations above for over 6 years now and it stands as proof that Raff* has not grasped the idea that different film formats, different cameras, different perspectives will cause the same person or subject to appear different. He is too incompetent to understand the premise. Any difference he's seen, between 3 different sources of imagery, are automatically deemed fake. Well, that is except for the part he says is real. Here is a good example....

Point one....Raff* Sink is not a weight loss Doctor. Raff* Sink is a washed up Chiropractor that decided to call himself a weight loss Doctor and then joined with other non-weight loss Doctors to create a club and sanction themselves as weight loss Doctors. The State of Texas has had to remind Raff* that he's not a Doctor and to quit calling himself one.

Point two....Raff* has offered no proof that the New Orleans Police dept. weighed Oswald. There is a weight listed on an arrest report and because weight is used to describe suspects, they asked suspects how much they weigh or estimate it.

What Raff*'s seasoned eye fails to admit is, that in the photo on the right, the camera lens and distance from Oswald give the impression of a more lean and gaunt Oswald.

Here is an example of what lens difference can do to make a subject look completely  different....

Now look again at Raff*'s selected photo and since he likes to make up juvenile nicknames for people that appear to be different, but they're actually the same, we'll call the Oswald on the left, Fat Elvis and on the right, Skinny Elvis.

Look at Fat Elvis from August and then Skinny Elvis from November...then look at Skinny Elvis below....

He morphed back into Fat Elvis. Look at that neck as Raff* has been heard to exclaim. Now how could Fat Elvis be Skinny Elvis and just a few short hours before he was Skinny Elvis, he was Fat Elvis?

Here is a crop from an article where the author showed the difference in the appearance of an subject, based on difference distances between the photographer and the subject....

The photographer took the photo on the left from 18 inches away. The one on the right, from 60 inches away. You can see the entire series of images shown on the card in the photos, here:

Why the Camera Adds 10 Pounds

Raff*'s explanation for the Fat Elvis that you see above being fat just hours before becoming Skinny Elvis is that Fat Elvis is fake. But not the original Fat Elvis, just the Fat Elvis at the Dallas PD.

Raff* then ricochets back to the "perfect vee"...

We've already covered the remarks of one Anthony Bothello. Now let's jump into the make believe world of one, Richard Hooke, ex-refrigerator art expert of the OIC. Raff* and his merry band of clowns rely heavily on the collages of Richard. James H. Fetzer, PhD, has touted Richard's works of art all over the place, from his blog page to his various radio shows, to the pages of Veterans Today(until Fetzer was banned and his works removed) to the Education Forum. You will see several links to various discussions at the Education Forum concerning the repeated attempts of the OIC to convince the JFK world that they are right.

Richard has a tendency to contradict himself in his little works of art. Notice that in the two photos of Oswald, there is no perfect vee in the neck of his t-shirt. 

Now let's look at a blowup of Richard's collage....

As you will see, when the OIC talks perfect vee, they use a particular copy of the Altgens 6 crop. Whe Richard goes in for detail, you actually see where he's bullshitting you.

The rear reducing, ever morphing, frontal prominent sometimes but mostly middle of the road, perfect vee.

As a reminder, the rear reduced perfect vee....

There are a couple of things that Richard doesn't explain. First, he shows the supposed neckline of Doorman and it doesn't match the one shown for Oswald. The "vertex" shown by Richard on Oswald is an edge to the neck of the shirt but on "Doorman" it's a curving blob of shadow.

Another thing he can't explain is how this photo taken seconds from his "Doorman" image shows a normal crew neck t-shirt with no vee, "vortex" or anything else...

Richard is like Raff*...he never lets the facts get in the way of good refrigerator art.

If? If Doorman was wearing a v-shaped t-shirt? I thought this was the smoking gun of the JFK world? I thought it was definitive. Conclusive. Next, Raff* declares that there is no such thing as a perfectly vee shaped shadow anywhere in the world. "Keep in mind that no one has ever brought forth an image in which a round t-shirt was made to look perfectly vee-shaped due to chin shadow". Except the OIC. Just look above at any use of the crop of Altgens 6 and compare it to Wiegman's crop.
We'll see another example by Raff* in a bit....

In this collage, I'll zoom in on a particular finding by Richard....

See the little box on both the Altgens crop and Oswald on the far right. While Oswald's t-shirt was manifesting, his hair was growing as well. On the right, Oswald's hair on his left temple, which lays no further forward than his side burn suddenly grows on the left, to a length past the outside of his left eye, wrapping around his forehead. So not only do we have to deal with an always moving manifesting vee but also the Magic Hair Barbie effect. It was so bad that the mysterious "they" had to keep Lovelady in hiding for the next 16 years. My guess is it was to keep Oswald's family from suing the Mattel Toy company for patent infringement when the Magic Hair Barbie came out. I'm sure they can use Richard's collage as evidence.

Now the little spiel that Raff* gives about the film being high contrast comes from someone schooling his ass in the past about black and white photography and Altgens' use of Tri-X film. He doesn't know squat about photography. Did you also notice that the Altgens crop used by Raff* is different from others. It's smaller and at a higher contrast than what is used in Richard's collages that show an irregular edge to the neck of the shirt. Just scroll back and see for yourself.

The photo above is from Raff*'s disastrous attempt to replicate the Altgens 6 photo. In that attempt, Raff* hired a "professional" photographer to take a different camera, and stand in a different place, and take various digital photos, and pass them off as legitimate examples of Altgens' famous photo. He and James H. Fetzer, PhD have published a description of this half-assed effort on various websites and in several forums.

Here's an example....

http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/topic/19722-jfk-believe-it-or-not-oswald-wasnt-even-a-shooter/?page=2

The Lamson being criticized by Raff* pointed out to Raff* later, that the photographer using the flash was not recreating Altgens...Raff* got pissed (American definition, not British). Lamson did give an example of just how bad Raff*'s super experiment failed from git go.....

Proof that Raff*'s photographer wasn't standing anywhere near Altgens' position. But here's how Raff* described it....

You can read the entire article and discussion here: http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/topic/19720-jfk-49-years-in-the-offing-the-altgens-reenactment/

Raff*, starts his narration and then gets into discussing his photos and the first one he offers is this...

Raff*'s professional photo reenactment starts off with a digital shot taken from a completely different location than that of here....

Now keep in mind that this....

Is an enlargement of this....

actual size

Did you notice the chin shadow? Not of Raff* On his stand in....

Those never happen in real life....

Raff* shows a variety of digital, color digital converted to black and white and what he claims is Tri-X 35mm black and white photos in his article. He blows his entire perfect vee comparison with the first closeup he uses.

Raff* is such a dumbass....

Here's another of his photos....

Raff* was wearing a v-shaped t-shirt but look at what happened.....

Major fail dos.....

And here is one he refuses to post.....

 

That's Raff*'s crew neck t-shirt. Looks a little...ummmm....veeish doesn't it?

 

He's such a tool...

But getting back to the OIC site...

This has to be one of the funniest things I have ever seen regarding the Altgens photo. Richard Hooke is demonstrating where a series of minute folds, each one showing as a line in Oswald's photo measuring less than a 16th of an inch wide

shows up in this....

The grain in the film is larger than the fucking crinkle.

Raff* continues...

Let's try this....

Lobe for lobe, Raff*'s an idiot.

Richard is as well.

That last one was almost as good as the crinkle.

Yup...Lovelady's tapers in and Oswald's gets wider...another smoking gun....

We're done with funny charts by Richard....except this one that was removed from the OIC page....

That one was actually laughed off of the OIC page due to widespread ridicule.

Raff* goes on to claim that Oswald had "postural" habits that included clasping his wrist with the other hand and pursing his lips but unfortunately, the OIC can't produce a single photo of Oswald clasping his wrist with his other hand that wasn't taken while he was in handcuffs and for one instance when he wasn't allowed to put his hands in his pockets, being out of them.

Here's a picture of Oswald cheering his postural habits...

 

And here is Oswald pursing his lips and holding his wrist all over Russia...

 

Here's Oswald holding his wrist as a teenager...

And here is proof that Oswald started thumb tugging his shirts at an early stage...

Next.....all the reasons that Billy Lovelady cannot be Billy Lovelady.....
