A Candidate For Prayer Person?

[Alan Ford]

Good morning!

A brief recap:

*Prayer Man remains in his same specific position, holding down that space throughout several different filming sequences (Wiegman, Cook and Darnell)

Prayer Man is not in the Cook film!

*In each of those filming sequences his shaggy shirt remains un-tucked, with his bare forearms fully exposed (contrary to the business attire of Bill Shelley).

You cannot possibly make out such a detail in the Wiegman film! And it is not a given that Mr Shelley was wearing business attire at the time of the assassination! (Mr Frazier suggests otherwise.)

*Note Prayer Man is still holding the same position he has maintained throughout those several different filming sequences, even after Bill Shelley has left the front entrance.

Not necessarily. If one compares the right elbow from Wiegman to Darnell, one finds that this is not a person in the "same specific position". PrayerManInDarnell may not even have his hands in the 'prayer' position at all------------his arms may be folded!

Continuation...now turning our attention to Mr. DuVall, let's take the following into consider:

Well, how about we start here------------------



------------------and go from that to here!-------------------

In his Sixth Floor Museum  interview shares a key detail he observes from his vantage point while viewing the P. Parade about seeing a black vehicle parked aside the TSBD on his left, his words not mine. Mr. DuVall or anyone else for that matter holding down Prayer Man's position --within the inward enclosure of the front entrance--couldn't see through concrete, let alone specifically describe the colour(s) of any vehicles alongside of the building on Houston Street.

But he said he was sitting on the third step when JFK passed. I am suggesting that he was doing just that, and after the shooting stood up and took up a spot very close to where Mr Shelley had been standing. And that Darnell (not Wiegman!) shows him there, arms folded and his newspaper giving the illusion of his left arm (and hence that he is the same 'Prayer Man' we have just seen in Wiegman):

Do you honestly believe anyone in a sitting position could see around and/or over everyone else?

Do you honestly believe your suggestion in Weigman of a throwaway Styrofoam coffee cup morphs into a newspaper?

Is Prayer Man sitting?

Who exactly would he have needed to see around/over? The west side of the steps weren't exactly crowded!

Do you honestly believe your suggestion in Weigman of a throwaway Styrofoam coffee cup morphs into a newspaper?

Do you honestly believe that is my suggestion?

Here is what I'm actually proposing:

Wiegman: PrayerMan = Mr Shelley with cup
Darnell: PrayerMan = Mr DuVall with newspaper

 

Is Prayer Man sitting?

No-----------but the person who is about to become PrayerMan in Darnell may be sitting in Wiegman, even as the person who is PrayerMan in Wiegman is standing in Wiegman but is about to leave the steps and run into Ms Calvery at the edge of the 'park'!

Now! Question for you, Mr Ford:

If Prayer Man in Wiegman is Mr Oswald, why on earth would the cover-up investigators go to the trouble of putting a dark shadow down Mr Lovelady?

Another Question for you!

Do you accept that this is Mr DuVall in the Hughes film?



Finally! Do you really think the following identification can be ruled out?



Think about it: if Mr DuVall looks strikingly like Mr Oswald, then what grounds have you for arguing that PrayerManInDarnell, whom you believe looks like Mr Oswald, looks nothing like Mr DuVall?

[Alan Ford]

Now, friends!

I think it's safe to say that the performance of Team Keep LHO Away From That Entrance has been absolutely pitiful, so... I'm going to offer them some charitable assistance here! 

If I were a member of Team Keep LHO Away From That Entrance, here's what I would do. I would cut my losses and swallow my pride and accept the plain reality that the shadow down Mr Lovelady in Wiegman is fake:



Then! I would take a long hard look at the individual in Hughes whom the insufferable Mr Alan Ford (i.e. yours truly!) has identified as Mr Kenneth DuVall--------------------



--------------------and note the single most striking thing about him:

His resemblance to Mr Oswald.

Then! I would offer the following bold speculation:

"What if the reason for the shadow down Lovelady in Wiegman is not LHO but DuVall?"


 

[Alan Ford]

Show the rest of us reading along here sir where you actually see someone sitting on the third step....

You mean in Wiegman? How can I show Mr DuVall in Wiegman if the impossible shadow starting halfway across Mr Lovelady has blackened out the area where Mr DuVall would be?

On the contrary sir, Didn't you say people moved, specifically Shelley who in your narrative was drinking from a Styrofoam coffee cup....Wouldn't that place him behind and to the right of Lovelady? Please help us help you make up your mind sir.

No, Mr Ford, you're just confused! My consistent position is that Mr Shelley is not the man you think is Mr Shelley in Altgens, and that Mr Shelley is PrayerManInWiegman------------and nowhere to be seen in Darnell. As for the man you think is Mr Shelley in Altgens, he's still there in Wiegman-----------removing the basis of your suggestion as to why a fake shadow was put down Mr Lovelady!

And let us guess sir, you want the rest of us to believe someone you yourself stated was sitting down required a loooong vertical shadow running downward along Lovelady from his head down to his toes?

To conceal someone seated?

[Alan J. Ford]

No, Mr Ford, you're just confused! My consistent position is that Mr Shelley is not the man you think is Mr Shelley in Altgens, and that Mr Shelley is PrayerManInWiegman------------and nowhere to be seen in Darnell.

So, once again sir, IF he isn"t Shelley, enlighten us with a specific name. Fair enough? What say ye?
