Then went outside to watch P. parade ( Parts 1 & 2 )

The fourth important thing that the stabilized gif establishes is that there is indeed an immobile block of reddish color behind the doorway flag, which comes into view momentarily when the flag is raised from right in front of it:



This, I maintain, is Mr. Billy Lovelady, still sitting on one of the upper front steps.

Look closely at the very final frames of this gif, and you'll see more white appear in this area behind the flag. I believe that this may be from Mr. Lovelady's white tshirt, and that Towner is here capturing Mr. Lovelady's movement as he begins to take to his feet in order to see over the damned flag that has just spoiled his view:

The third important thing the stabilized gif shows us is just how energetically------nay, urgently------nay, frantically------the flag (or somesuch) is being waved

Note the movement of Mr. Oswald's red shirt in sync with the movement of the object he's frenetically waving:

Where is Oswald’s head? (In Towner film)
He’s got to be in the sunlight still after he’s moving a little from the west wall and unfurling flying flag display.

Maybe there’s a little bit of magical black out of his head?

Probably was too difficult to blacken out the entire Oswald along with banner,  because that would create a VERY weird black area effect.

Getting rid of the head would be the easiest thing imo.

They could not just “lose” all these films and no doubt the films must have been scrutinized to see if Oswald was in fact outside watching the P.Parade as FBI agent Hosty ( and probably the other interrogators also) had heard Oswald claim.

Where is Oswald’s head? (In Towner film)

Good question, Mr. Mason

[Alan Ford]

The black man in front of Mr. Oswald has raised his left hand to wave, and now lowers it to shield his eyes:

[Zeon Mason]

Well ,if the black guy whom  is supposedly Carl Jones is raising his hand up to shield  his eyes, then the Cronkite version Altgens 6 photo anomaly is “Partly” solved , as the hand and forearm DO belong to Jones( or whomever black man)

What’s left is that  black slash across Loveladys  white T-shirt which therefore may  NOT be Oswald’s hand raising a bottle but is Oswald’s curtain rod ( or stick) which is part of the flag waving scheme.

Now I’m wondering if the paper bag,  the same bag which the lady is holding up in Darnell film, was found ALONG with the curtain rod /flag that Oswald probably DROPPED on the walkway in front of the steps when Oswald left those steps, (within about 10-15 secs post shots)  such that Oswald was not captured in the Darnell film when Baker was running towards the steps (then to the woman holding the bag.)

[Alan Ford]

Friends, we have established beyond ANY doubt that the flag is being waved by Red Shirt Man whom we have seen just a couple of seconds before this in Hughes:



So Red Shirt Man is still standing behind the black man standing by the white western column. This is not an opinion, it's just a straight statement of fact.

How curious, then, that Towner shows THIS in a spot where Hughes apparently shows no one at all:



There isn't supposed to be anyone standing HERE on the steps.

! Nor can this red possibly belong to the lower body of anyone standing up on the landing, because it goes down TOO LOW.
! Nor can it possibly belong to the white-attired Mrs. Madie Reese.
! Nor can it possily belong to anyone out in the line of streetside spectators.
! Nor can it possibly belong to the flag being waved by Red Shirt Man, for that flag is visibly cleared out of its way when the flag is raised to higher elevation.

And yet...............there IS someone there, in red clothing.

Solution?

It couldn't be simpler: this person in red is positioned FAR BACK enough NOT to show up prominently in Hughes.

And the ONLY way that is possible, and the only way this person's red-attired upper body can be seen at this height, is if that person is SEATED several steps up/back.

And! There is only one person this can possibly be: Mr. Billy Lovelady.

The Towner film is showing us TWO figures in red:
a) Mr. Lovelady watching the motorcade from a seated position
b) Mr. Oswald waving a flag energetically at the motorcade from a standing position.

Anyone who disagrees is cordially invited to complete the following sentence:

'The red area marked by the yellow arrows does not belong to Billy Lovelady. It is in fact_______________________________________'



Best of luck!
