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

Dr. McKnight and I talked for quite a while this afternoon, and he said some interesting things, which I'll share.

First, he urged me to read the new paperback edition of Breach of Trust because it has no new information not present in the hardback.

He said that he is absolutely convinced that Secret Service Agent Kelly did record Oswald, including his saying that he was out in front with Bill Shelley during the shooting. And, Dr. McKnight thinks it must have weighed heavily in the decision to get Oswald killed without delay. He said to me:

"Is it reasonable to believe that SS Kelly recorded Marina Oswald for 8 hours on the 24th but didn't record Lee Oswald on the 22nd?"

He told me that Belmont told Tolson on September 9, 1964 that there is no doubt that Oswald had not fired a weapon on 11/22/63.

He told me that Rankin reported to the Warren Commission on 11/27/63 that Oswald attended the Defense Language Institute in Monterrey CA to learn Russian in training for the false defector program.

And, he told me that he agrees with OIC member Vincent Salandria that National Security Advisor McGeorge Bundy was a major player, that he was CIA from way back, and that as the Dean of Undergraduate Study at Harvard University, he brought CIA agents onto the campus and had them teaching and indoctrinating students. Remember what McGeorge Bundy did. From Washington DC, he contacted Air Force One and the plane on which JFK's Cabinet members were flying back from Japan and told them all that the case was solved, that Oswald did it and did it alone, and there was to be no further investigation and no further discussion. And it was the latter point he really wanted to emphasize: he was telling them all to get with the program- or else.  He wasn't even in Dallas and had no connection to the Dallas Police or to other law enforcement, and yet, he made that declaration just hours after the shooting.

Dr. McKnight told me that he and his wife visited the hotel in Finland where Oswald stayed before entering Russia, and he said it was the fanciest, most expensive, luxurious hotel in Finland- like the Ritz. So, if Oswald was limited to his own resources, how could he afford to stay there?
