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

How many people in the Dallas PD and DA Office had advance knowledge of the JFK assassination? How many of them were involved in the conspiracy? 

I hope you know I have no love for these people. and I have no vested interest in the bus ride and cab ride. If Oswald traveled that way or he didn't, he was still standing in the doorway wearing the same clothes in which he was arrested, and I know that because I can see it with my own eyes. 

Those are EXACTLY the same clothes! That has got to be him, and it doesn't depend on any bus/cab rides.

bpete has MUCH MORE to lose from the bus/cab ride going south than I do because I have nothing to lose. What he has to lose is the integrity of the Dallas Police Department. 

As I said, he doesn't mind attributing mistakes to the authorities. But wicked, demonic fraud? He can't go there. Oswald was the wicked, demonic one in his telling. He can't have the police being that way. 

My point is that if someone were to produce some really compelling evidence, I would gladly change my mind about the bus ride and cab ride. But how could bpete? Oswald was guilty locking and loading, but the police were also bad, lying and scheming and threatening people, including little old ladies, if they didn't cooperate? 

The plot to kill JFK was not a Dallas PD plot. It wasn't a Henry Wade plot. It took people with much more power than any of them ever dreamed of to even conceive of the idea of killing Kennedy. So, what did they think after it happened? 

Well, we know that Wade and Curry and even Fritz were bombarded with phone calls from LBJ's people pressuring them to find for Oswald as lone gunman. And I can guarantee you that those phone calls did not involve any admissions of wrong-doing on their part. There were no confessions. Not even any subtle, wink-wink, read-between-the-lines confessions. You're being very naive if you think otherwise. Remember that LBJ's henchmen, like Cliff Carter and Bill Moyers were lawyers. They knew better than to say anything incriminating. They played it straight: Find for Oswald because Oswald was solely guilty. Period.

Presumably, the idea behind faking the bus and cab rides was to hide the fact that Oswald escaped with a get-away driver. So Wade knew that by Friday afternoon? How did he know it? Did Oswald tell them? So, Fritz and Bookout and Hosty all heard Oswald say that he was driven by someone, and they immediately conspired to crush the fact. They told Wade, and Wade got the idea of creating an elaborate, extensive alternate story, which they went about fulfilling, piece by piece? Including getting the appropriate transfer ticket with the right punch marks by 4:00? 

As I said, I have no love for these people. In fact, I have nothing but contempt for them.  And there is nothing I would like more than to find them guilty of framing Oswald.  But, I know when something sounds far-fetched. And the idea that they would launch such a big, grandiose scheme in the midst of all that was going on, and that to a man, all these lowly guys in the Dallas PD went along with a criminal enterprise without the slightest hesitation- it just seems over the top. If it happened, it was truly a vast conspiracy within a vast conspiracy.
