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

DAVID VON PEIN SAID:

It doesn't seem to matter how many times this is explained to the kooks, it never sinks in.

Gil Jesus thinks "take out" and "receive" (as in: "a package or letter with Hidell's name on it is delivered to the P.O. Box") are the exact same thing.

As Bud has explained, a package delivered to PO Box 2915 in Dallas could have ANYBODY'S name on it, including "A. Hidell", and Oswald wouldn't have had a bit of trouble picking it up legally. Because when an oversized package is sent to a PO Box (or a residence), and the clerk is presented with the bona fide document left in the PO Box related to that delivery, the clerk assumes that the person with the receipt is entitled to the package. And no signature is needed either.

I've picked up many oversized packages this way myself at my post office. I've never once had to identify myself as the person whose name appears on the package, and I've never once been asked to sign anything to get the package either. I just hand them the yellow slip of paper, and they give me the package. Period.

So, the name "Hidell" appearing on the front of Oswald's rifle package from Klein's is meaningless to the post office workers. They couldn't care less about who the package is addressed to. It's the ADDRESS itself that is important. And that's the ONLY thing that matters. The name on the package is totally irrelevant.

Oswald would have gotten his Carcano package if the name on the label had said Nikita Khrushchev.

Ralph Cinque:

I dispute the claim made above by David Von Pein. 

It's quite true that if I found a slip in my PO Box for an over-sized package, and I went to the counter and presented the slip, that they would give me the package without asking me to show ID. But, that's because they know me. Buda is a small town. I go into that post office all the time. I have for years. They know me. And, they know me as Ralph Cinque. If the package was made out to Alek Hidell, they wouldn't hand it over. It's only if it's made out to Ralph Cinque. 

In Oswald's case, the postal attendant would know two things: one that the box was registered to Lee Harvey Oswald, and two, that the parcel was addressed to A. Hidell. Not even a full name but A. Hidell. 

So, when Oswald showed up to pick up the package, giving them the slip, the postal worker would definitely ask him, "Are you A. Hidell?" And, it's likely he would follow that up with, "What is your association with Lee Harvey Oswald because it's his PO Box?" Then, what would Oswald say? "Yes, I'm Alec Hidell"? How risky was that? Don't you think he might be known there and recognized as Lee Harvey Oswald just as I am known and recognized as Ralph Cinque at the Buda post office? 


Look: they knew that the person who was handing that slip over got it out of the P O Box of Lee Harvey Oswald. Now, was he accessing that box legally or illegally? Was Lee Harvey Oswald aware that Alek Hidell was using his box to receive mail? It wasn't on the paperwork. And you think they weren't even going to ask about it?


David, you are repainting the story of the JFK assassination. And you are repainting it in red, blood red. And you are getting the blood everywhere.
