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

Here's an interesting question: If Oswald came down the stairs from the 6th floor to enter the lunch room, how is it that Roy Truly didn't see him? Truly was ahead of Baker. And Baker saw Oswald in the anteroom to the lunch room through the transparent window glass in the door. But, that would mean that Oswald just went through that door because he was moving. He was never standing still. And it raises the question: why wasn't the door moving? If Oswald just went through it, and it was a swinging door, then why wasn't it still in motion?  

But, that's not the question I intended. The question on my mind is: why didn't Truly see Oswald and encounter Oswald? Because: Truly was quite a bit ahead of Baker. By the time Baker saw Oswald from the stairwell, Truly was gone. He was already climbing the next flight of stairs. 

So, since Oswald supposedly reached the lunch room just a little ahead of Baker, then how is it that Oswald and Truly didn't collide? 

And if you think Oswald was also ahead of Truly, he couldn't have been that much ahead of him. Surely the door had to swing when Oswald went through it, so why didn't Truly see that? It's bad enough that Baker didn't see it. And I know why Baker didn't see it. It's because Oswald never went through that door. That door hadn't moved. Oswald came from the other side. He entered that anteroom from the office side, not the stairwell side. 

The anteroom had three doors:  one giving access from the office area; one giving access from the stairwell; and one in the middle that gave access to the lunch room proper. 

So, if you look at the diagram, Oswald came from the office side, which means that he could not have come down from the 6th floor since there were no stairs on that side to get to the 6th floor. Baker saw him in the anteroom from the stairwell. Then, Oswald proceeded through the middle door into the lunch room proper. 

So, this anteroom, as I call it, and I have also seen it referred to as the vestibule, was a passage-way room. It gave access to the lunch room from two opposing sides. 

But, if you think about how small the room was, then the door should still have been swinging from Oswald going through it- if he went through it. But, he didn't go through it. He went through the door on the opposite side from Baker, as you see in the diagram there with the arrow. And likewise, if Oswald had come down the stairs on the stairwell side, then surely Truly would have seen him and heard him. 

There is simply no way that Oswald used those stairs, and that is proof, in itself, that he was not up on the 6th floor. He didn't come down from the 6th floor. He came up from the 1st floor, that is, from the doorway. He was standing in the doorway during the motorcade. He left the doorway and quite early, probably before the fatal head shot. Why did he leave? Probably because CIA man Bill Shelley ordered him to go to the lunch room. What excuse did he give him? I don't know. I couldn't tell you. I'd only be guessing. 

But, it doesn't matter because the evidence is very clear that Oswald reached the lunch room from the office side, which means that  there is NO CHANCE that he came down from the 6th floor. And note that no one disputes that he went back down the same way- through the office area. 

Do you see how open and shut the case is for Oswald's innocence? He was no more the guy who shot Kennedy than you or I were. And at this point in time, anyone with half a brain, who looks at it, can see it. 

Stop the lies! Oswald outside! That is the motto of the Oswald Innocence Campaign, and let every professed Oswald defender get used to saying it.
