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

Backes asks: Have you never heard of aiding and abetting? 

Aiding and abetting what? Oswald didn't do anything. And the driver just drove him to the theater. 

Oswald was the "accused" lone assassin, and even if he had been the real assassin- and we know he wasn't- why would Oswald tell his friend as they were driving to the Theater that he was the one who killed Kennedy? In other words, even if Oswald had done it, and he didn't, why assume that the driver knew?

Keep in mind that Backes claims that Oswald was picked up and driven away without claiming to have ANY knowledge of who it was. He has no idea who it was, yet somehow, he is sure that it happened.  

Others claim to know more. Some of them claim to know that it was David Sanchez Morales. They also claim to know that Morales borrowed Ruth Paine's car to do it. But, that really make no sense. Why would Morales have to borrow Ruth Paine's car? She didn't even live in Dallas; she lived in Irving. This was a "national security event", a coup d'etat, the overthrow of the US government, and you're saying that it all depended on borrowing Ruth Paine's car?

Let's break this down to bare bones: Oswald didn't kill anybody. Therefore, however he left Dealey Plaza, he had no reason to lie to the police about it. It could not possibly have been in his interest to do that, and he had to know it. And Oswald told police that he traveled by bus and cab. 

How much weight does that carry? Tons. 

Second, if a friend had picked him up and transported him, there was no crime in that, and that person would have had no reason to keep it a secret.  Look at Robert Vinson. He wound up on an Air Force cargo plane with the other Oswald, and he was afraid for his life. Yet eventually, even he came forward. You can't tell me that it would have been any different for a friend of Oswald's. 

So, that leaves only one other possibility: that Oswald got picked up, but it wasn't by a friend, but by an enemy. It was by somebody who was part of the plot, who was working with those who were framing Oswald. Then of course, that guy would have had no reason to come forward -ever. 

But, the problem is: why would the conspirators send someone to pick Oswald up and drive him away if they thought it looked bad? If they thought it would look better for him to use public transportation, why not let him? Why give him a ride and then have to concoct a phony story when it would have been much easier to just let him travel the way they thought he should?

So, what we're left with is something like this:

Henry Wade: "Listen, we're going to send someone to get Oswald and drive him to the theater, but it won't look good, so we'll make up a story that he took a bus and cab. And, we'll have to gather up phony witnesses and prep them and obtain a phony bus transfer ticket and plant it on him, and why we're doing all this I don't know since it would be much easier to just let him travel by bus and cab."
