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

What a stupid man bpete is. It doesn't occur to him that Jerry Kroth was presented the evidence for Oswald in the doorway after his book came out; so he changed his mind about it and now endorses what we are saying. But alas, he can't change what's written his book already published. Like Jim Marrs, who recently brought Crossfire up to speed over the Doorman issue....

I'm sure Jerry will do likewise in any future issues of his book. But, he can't do anything about the old ones. 

I have a written statement from Jerry Kroth that says that he endorses and accepts our Members Statement:
                                                     Members' Statement

We, the members of the Oswald Innocence Campaign, maintain that at the time of President Kennedy's assassination, Lee Harvey Oswald was standing in the doorway of the Texas School Book Depository, where he was photographed by James "Ike" Altgens, which is clearly evident upon close examination of the photograph. This discovery categorically exonerates Oswald from having shot the President. We call upon the media to renounce the official story that impugns him--including the "Magic Bullet" theory, which is a conspiratorial fabrication--and we demand that the American government cease obstructing justice by promoting a gross falsehood, based on lies, which has allowed the true killers to remain free, unindicted, and unpunished.

Time passes, and people change their mind, bpete. You can't hold them to what they said or wrote in the past. Growth happens. Not for you, but for others. So, you just go ahead and spin, spin, spin to your heart's delight. We all know what you are: a paid internet shill. 

And talk about spinning!!!! Get this: Now, bpete is alleging that Oswald used the rifle on a previous occasion and that fibers from his shirt got stuck in it at that time. That is ridiculous on the face of it, but there is no evidence that Oswald ever shot with that rifle ever. There are no reports of him going out to the shooting range with his Italian Mannlicher/Carcano to practice. Oswald denied even owning the thing. He denied ordering it. He denied having it. He said he owned no rifle. When they first reported finding the rifle, it wasn't even a Mannlicher/Carcano, it was a Mauser, and even Roger Craig said so. There is even a picture where you can see that it's a different rifle.

But, bpete glosses over all of that and fantasizes that Oswald was out shooting with the rifle on another day in the very shirt he happened to change into on 11/22/63 and fibers of it clung to the butt of the rifle permanently (How else could the butt of the rifle get fibers pressed into it? Not from mere "handling"). How convenient! What a coincidence! Don't you just love JFK coincidences? And he transferred an expired bus ticket from one shirt to the other. 

What is bpete willing to say in order to keep the lie going? He is willing to say anything, no matter how preposterous.

What, you think you get to make stuff up? You think that anything your mind is capable of conjuring up is something that others need to take seriously? And notice that he refers to the day Oswald "was wearing the shirt when he 'handled' the rifle." So, Oswald only had to handle the rifle wearing that shirt for fibers to get caught between the butt plate and the stock. So, if he picked it up to move it somewhere, fibers were going to get caught between the butt plate and the stock.

There is no evidence that Oswald ever "handled" that rifle wearing that shirt. But even if he did handle it wearing that shirt, and there is no evidence that he did, with or without wearing that shirt, what are the mathematical odds that fibers would get caught between the butt plate and the stock just from handling it? 

This is so ridiculous, it is mind-boggling. And note that nobody in the history of JFK assassination research has ever proposed such an outrageous thing before. It took the childish, immature mind of bpete to come up with it.  Mature adults have known all along to either claim that Oswald was wearing the same shirt on 11/22/63 OR that the claim about his shirt fibers being on the gun was false. Show me one other JFK researcher from the last half-century who suggested that fibers from a previous time that Oswald used the gun and wore the shirt accounts for what the FBI found. 

If it's "stupid beyond belief" that I should not have seen the likelihood of fibers from a previous wearing of the shirt during a previous "handling" of the rifle at another time should have left fibers in the butt permanently, then how come researchers galore haven't cited the possibility?

It's because the mathematical probability of it is so low as to make it "stupid beyond belief." And let me be clear: even if Oswald did handle the rifle previously while wearing that shirt, the odds of such a thing happening are infinitesimal.  Yet, there is no evidence that Oswald ever wore that shirt while handling the gun on any previous occasion. But wait! Worse than that, there is no evidence that Oswald ever handled the gun on ANY previous occasion or even on 11/22/63. He never, ever handled that gun!

pbete, you are blithering idiot. You have shit for brains. And my trouncing of you has only just begun. You are nothing but a paid shill for the Kennedy-killers.
