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

Let's consider James Hosty's statement to the Warren Commission:

"Oswald told Captain Fritz that he went to lunch at approximately noon on the 22d of November, ate his lunch in the lunchroom, and had gone and gotten a Coca Cola from the Coca Cola machine to have with his lunch. He claimed that he was in the lunchroom at the time President Kennedy passed the building."

Note two things: first, the discombobulating of what happened, and second, the conflict with what Fritz said. 

Note that there were two locations involved: the 1st floor Domino room and the 2nd floor lunch room. Notice how Hosty glosses over, sidesteps, whitewashes the whole distinction between the two. 

It wasn't that hard to understand. Oswald ate in the Domino room, and he did so at a time that Junior Jarman and Harold Norman were milling around. But, he went to the 2nd floor lunch room after that, where he was seen by Carolyn Arnold. There is no evidence he got a Coke until after his encounter with Truly and Baker, which was after the assassination. But above, Hosty whirls it all up together, masking the reality of the situation. 

Oswald ate long before the motorcade arrived. Vincent Bugliosi has him eating in the Domino room and done eating by 12:15 and heading up to the 6th floor. How does Bugliosi account for Carolyn Arnold? He doesn't. He assumes she was mistaken.

Nowhere in the Fritz Notes does it say that Oswald claimed to be in the lunch room during the shooting. It says that Oswald claimed to be Out with Bill Shelley in front, and Hosty and Bookout were witness to that. 

  
It makes no sense to claim that Oswald said he was in the lunch room during the shooting. He definitely wasn't eating at that time. He definitely was finished eating. So, what would he have been doing there? 

And why exactly would he not have wanted to watch the motorcade? Where do people get off claiming that Oswald was this eccentric who had no interest in seeing JFK? That he would rather sit in a lunch room doing nothing than see JFK? They presume it like a right they are entitled to, but they are not entitled to it. I don't grant the right. Oswald had every bit as much or more reason to want to catch a glimpse of Kennedy as anyone else, and he did. He went outside. He was standing in the doorway. And we can see him there. 

That is the same man. That is not a different man. That is not this man:

And it is only because the world of JFK has become a Bizarro World where liars abound that we are even talking about this. In any other context, in any other realm, nobody would suggest for a second that this guy above was the Doorway Man. In the end, rotten despicable ghastly lies are their last and only resort.
