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

Somebody copied my youtube video and reposted it, and it was done to trash it. The Oswald-in-the-doorway deniers have really piled onto it. But, I don't care because it's gotten a lot of views (over 130,000) and the video speaks for itself. Heres' the link:

I was late in discovering this, and I only occasionally check it. But, when I do, I often respond to a comment or two, which are usually negative. Here is a recent example:

And it raises an important point: The vast majority of CTs, if you ask them, will repeat what that man said: that Oswald claimed to be eating lunch in the lunch room at the time of the shots. But, there is no recording of him saying that. There is a record of Will Fritz saying it:

Mr. BALL. Did you ask him what happened that day; where he had been?
Mr. FRITZ. Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. What did he say?
Mr. FRITZ. Well he told me that he was eating lunch with some of the employees when this happened, and that he saw all the excitement.

That was a bold-faced lie on the part of Will Fritz. Oswald never told him that he ate with anyone. Oswald ate alone. He just mentioned "Junior" (Jarman) and another "short negro" (Harold Norman) because they were around at the time. By the time of the assassination, Jarman and Norman were up on the 5th floor at the window. 

That is Bonnie Ray Williams and Harold Norman, but Junior Jarman was up there too. So, there was no chance that Fritz' statement was correct. And there is no reason to doubt that Fritz knowingly lied. 

And it seems that Hosty and Bookout repeated the lie in their notes of Oswald's interrogation, but it's hardly surprising. The fact is that Oswald ate lunch in the 12:15 to 12:25 time frame, and then he went outside. He was standing in the doorway at the time of the shots. And he told Will Fritz that he was "out with Bill Shelley in front". Fritz wrote it down, but in notes that he kept only for himself and acknowledged to no one. Hosty and Bookout were also present when Oswald said it, but did they report it? Of course not. 

Even Vincent Bugliosi admitted in Reclaiming History that Oswald said that he ate a cheese sandwich and an apple "from Mrs. Paine's house" in the Domino room at 12:15.  Of course, Bugliosi had a vested interest in making it as early as possible to allow enough time for Oswald to get up to the 6th floor to kill Kennedy. But regardless, Oswald was definitely NOT eating lunch at 12:30. There is no evidence that he said it, and he certainly didn't do it. He said he was out with Bill Shelley in front. 

And remember that he couldn't know that Shelley was out there unless he was out there himself. How could he possibly know that Shelley was among the few people standing in that doorway? Even if he just assumed that Shelley had gone outside to watch the motorcade, he could have been anywhere in Dealey Plaza. 

Anyway, the notion that Oswald said he was eating lunch at the time of the shots is just another piece of bull shit in a JFK landscape that is littered with bull shit- and blood.  

Oswald got off for lunch at 11:45 which was 45 minutes before the Presidential motorcade. He brought his lunch with him, so why the Hell would he wait around for 45 minutes and put off eating it until the President got there? He wouldn't! He didn't!
