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

The plotters had to manage everything that Oswald did after he departed Dealey Plaza. 

They had to get him armed, and they had to get him to a place that could be linked to where Tippit was to be killed. 

It was all planned. We have to assume that, don't we?  

If you realize that Oswald was framed and innocent, both of killing Kennedy and Tippit, then you MUST conclude that he was instructed to go to the Texas Theater. Otherwise, you would have to think that the conspirators just got lucky. 

One thing that LNs don't like to talk about too much is where Oswald was supposedly going when he encountered Tippit at 10th and Patton. Obviously, it wasn't the Texas Theater since it was out of the way. But, it's a moot question because the Oswald of fame was not at 10th and Patton. The Oswald of fame rode the bus and cab to his room, and then he was driven to the Texas Theater. That's because he was seen there at 1:07 by Butch Burroughs, and he could not possibly have gotten there that fast by foot. Who drove him? A police car pulled up in front, its horn tapped. Ipso facto, it is most likely the car in which he was driven to the theater. In fact, that is the one and only lead we have about that. Anything else you might suggest would only be a backesism.  Rule: you can only go where the evidence leads. 

But, the point is that everything was planned. They planned to kill Tippit and blame it on Oswald. They planned to have him arrested (or preferably killed) at the theater. 

They couldn't let Oswald walk to the theater, first, because there wasn't enough time, and second, because something could have happened. Someone could have seen him. He could have interacted with someone.  He could have stopped and made a phone call. He could have gotten hungry and went into a store and bought some food and left a memory with someone. Or, he could have seen something that he could recall that would have placed him there, etc. 

They had to get Oswald inside that theater with a firearm by a certain time, and they had to control every step of the process from the beginning. 

So, were he were to have left Dealey Plaza by private car, it would only have been because THEY wanted it and THEY arranged it. But, why would they want such a thing when they were depicting him as the lone gunman? Lone gunmen can't have getaway drivers. So, THEY would never have done that. And if THEY would never have done it or allowed it, it means it wasn't done. 

Do you think Oswald called a friend for a lift? That's impossible! First, he didn't have any friends, and second, he was innocent and without foreknowledge of the assassination, hence, he had no reason to expect to be leaving work that day at 12:35. So, he definitely didn't arrange a ride in advance. And, he definitely didn't make any calls from the TSBD before leaving. Nobody has ever even suggested that. So, there is no way he could have arranged it before the assassination or after the assassination. And that means he didn't arrange it. Period. So, the conspirators would have had to arrange it, to send a car there to get him, which is something that they never would have done because, again, he was the LONE gunman with the emphasis on LONE. 

So, that would mean that, supposedly, the plotters sent a private car to take Oswald home from Dealey Plaza, but, realizing that it would look bad for their lone nut story, they also conspired to concoct a phony story about him using public transportation. 

Wouldn't it have been a heck of a lot easier for them to just let him use public transportation if that's what they thought would look good? Why not? What was there to lose? Where was the risk? It would be easy enough to follow him and keep track of him, wouldn't it? If they had the vision to think of it as a phony story, why not as a real one? Why go to all the trouble of doing something else only to have to invent it? Why falsify something when you didn't have to? He went home from work every day by bus anyway, so why not let him do it on that day? 

Oswald left work about 12:34 to 12:35, right? And, he didn't get back to his room until about 1:00. He left his room about 1:03, and he was only there for a few minutes, so that mean he must have gotten there at 1. But, if he was driven home directly from Dealey Plaza, he'd have been there by 12:50. Maybe even 12:45. That weird odyssey with the bus and cab wasted some time. So, if you are going to conjure up a ride for Oswald in an unknown vehicle with an unknown driver from Dealey Plaza, you also have to conjure up something that they did, that consumed the extra time, for 10 minutes or longer. So, where did they go? What did they do? 

THEY, the conspirators, were in control. THEY were pulling Oswald's strings. THEY were calling the shots from beginning to end. And there is no conceivable reason why they would have picked Oswald up in Dealey Plaza in a private car, and there is no conceivable way that he could have done it, that is, arranged it.  He didn't have the means to arrange it (there is nobody he could have called) and they wouldn't have allowed it anyway. They TOLD him what to do, and he did what he was told.

Oswald took the bus and cab, and that's one part of the official story that is true.
