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

That's right; it was a full Coke when he saw Mrs. Reid, which means that he must have had no Coke when he encountered Truly and Baker. That's because people don't go walking around with full Cokes. They start drinking them right away. Plus, Truly and Baker both insisted that Oswald had nothing in his hands, and specifically, no soft drink. Baker crossed it out of the notes that somebody else wrote:

It said "drinking a Coke" but Baker never wrote that, and he crossed it out and initialed it. Do you believe him, Haydon, or do you accuse Officer Baker of lying and being part of the conspiracy?

And that's right, Haydon, they were all fucking liars: Fritz, Hosty, Bookout. But, Fritz wasn't lying to himself when he took those notes. They were not part of his public statements nor were they submitted by him in writing in any form. Even confirmed liars don't lie when they write things down for themselves. 

Fritz wrote down that Oswald told him he was "Out with Bill Shelley in front" because it is what Oswald said. 

And why the hell are you waffling? Just yesterday you were saying that Oswald said it but he meant that he was chewing the cud with Shelley out front on his way out. Hey Man, what's up? Oh, not much, just chillin'. That kind of thing. Now, you want to abandon all that and say that Oswald never said it at all? 

From the Mary Ferrell Foundation:

"The Warren Commission and Bugliosi cite the two employees, Junior Jarman and Harold Norman, as denying that they ate lunch with Oswald, and therefore that Oswald’s alibi was a lie (WR180, 195). In doing so they ignored the account of the two FBI agents who were present during the interrogation and who, unlike Fritz, had filed a written report on Oswald’s statements. According to the FBI report, Oswald had actually said that he had eaten lunch alone.

"On November 22, 1963, he had eaten lunch in the lunch room alone, but recalled possibly two Negro employees walking through the room during this period. He stated possibly one of these employees was called "Junior" and the other was a short individual whose name he could not recall but whom he would be able to recognize." (WR622)

In fact, during their Warren Commission testimony, Junior Jarman and Harold Norman separately confirmed that they had "walked through" the first floor lounge, known as the domino room, to retrieve their sandwiches, thus independently corroborating Oswald's account. Significantly, Harold Norman testified that usually some of the employees, including himself, would play dominos in this room during the lunch hour, but on this particular day, because of the pending passage of the Presidential motorcade, no one was playing dominos (3WH189). When asked if anyone else was in the domino room, Norman, who did eat his sandwich in the lounge before joining his friends to watch the motorcade, responded that in fact somebody else was present, but he could not remember who it was (3WH189). Hence Oswald had somehow correctly guessed not only the people who had been in the lunchroom that day, but their actions, even though they were different from the usual. Thus, the statements by the black employees which actually corroborated Oswald’s alibi is twisted by Bugliosi to make it appear that Oswald had lied."

Cinque: Oswald correctly cited two people who were milling around when he was in the Domino Room: "Junior" and another employee who was a "short negro". He was referring to Junior Jarmon and Harold Norman. They were milling around. And they had a long way to go. They had to make outside and stand out there a while. And then they had to change their minds and make it up to the 5th floor- all before the motorcade passed. That's why Oswald had to have eaten well before the assassination.

And since he didn't have a Coke during his encounter with Truly and Baker, it means that you can't use EATING or DRINKING to account for Oswald's activity during the assassination. You can go with taking a crap- I guess- but you can't go with eating or drinking. And actually, you can't go with taking a crap either- unless you want to say he took it in his pants while he was standing in the doorway- because that is where he was.

And when I said it doesn't matter what Oswald said what I meant is that NOTHING, absolutely nothing overrules the images. Nothing trumps the images. And the images say that Oswald was outside.

And as far as Oswald's clothes, the guy we have to go with is the first guy who saw him after the shooting, Marrion Baker, who said he was wearing a light brown jacket and a white shirt, just like you see on Oswald and Doorman above.

You think your foul mouth bothers me? Ha! We'll see about that.
