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

Dave Reitzes:

But your witness, Judyth Vary Baker, says Oswald knew EXACTLY what was going on,, Ralph. Judyth says he told her all about it ahead of time. 

According to the outline of her story she circulated among dozens of researchers and prospective publishers (entitled "Deadly Alliance"), not only did Oswald know what was going to happen, but he even told her he planned to be in a window with a rifle to fire a warning shot and possibly save John F. Kennedy's life. 

Are you calling Judyth Vary Baker a liar?

Ralph Cinque:

I do not endorse what Judyth Baker says about that. How could Oswald have said that when he was nowhere near the 6th floor? He was standing in the doorway at the time of the shots.

Oswald did not know what was going to happen. And it is INSANE to think that the conspirators would have armed him and had him shoot. For goodness sake, he wasn't an assassin. He wasn't even a marksman. He was just a guy who did the minimal amount of shooting required by the Marines and practically failed his last exam 5 years before, and he did very little shooting since. He was never in combat. He never ever did any shooting that compared the least bit to the theoretical 6th floor shooting. The idea that the CIA or even the Mafia would have entrusted Oswald to kill Kennedy is a joke. It would be like entrusting a nurse's aid to perform brain surgery.

No friend of Lee Harvey Oswald should ever claim that he knew what was going to happen. Because if he knew, then he let it happen. He could have gone to the police. He could have gone to the FBI, whomever he thought he could trust. He could have ran out onto Elm Street waving his hands, making a scene- anything to stop it.

So no, I do not think that Lee Harvey Oswald went to work that morning knowing that JFK was going to get blown away that day. I do not think he calmly ate a cheese sandwich and an apple knowing that 10 minutes letter, the bloodbath would begin. He would be a monster if he did that, but he didn't do it. HE DIDN'T KNOW. He was the patsy, and they kept him in the dark, as they always do with patsies.
