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

Now bpete is disputing that Bill Shelley was CIA. Hey, let's get into this. A good source is The Spider's Web: The TSBD and the Dallas Plot by William Weston, who based a lot of his work on the research of Elzie Glaze. Here's the abstract: 

Journalist Elzie Glaze compared the Texas School Book Depository to a spider that can leave its web and stalk its prey. This article posits the view that behind Glaze’s metaphor was a weapons and narcotics smuggling operation moving under the guise of schoolbooks. Controlled by ultraconservatives, the depository harbored spies, who infiltrated left-wing organizations. It also had law enforcement agents, who monitored and controlled the drug traffic within the city of Dallas. These operatives acted at the instigation of the national security establishment. When President Kennedy threatened to break up that establishment, a plot developed to assassinate him. The schoolbook workers became involved in the plot, when they relocated into the seven-story building that overlooked a 120-degree turn at Elm and Houston Streets. The turn made the President an easy target, because it slowed his limousine down to a crawl. After the assassination, the victors of the coup imposed extra security measures at the schoolbook depository in order to protect ongoing smuggling activities.

And this concerns Shelley: 

On October 29, 1945, Hugh Perry hired a mysterious clerk named William Shelley. [7] According to news journalist Elzie Glaze, who met him in 1974, Shelley said he was an intelligence agent during the war and afterwards joined the CIA. [8] Since his previous job was a brief stint working in defense plants, it is possible that he served as an informant for some counterespionage unit. This undercover work carried over into Hugh Perry, where schoolbooks concealed clandestine shipments of guns and drugs. The second part of Shelley’s statement shows that, after the CIA came into existence in 1947, it took over this operation – and the agents assigned to it.

I'm all for shining a spotlight on the work of Weston and Glaze, so let's get into it. 

But, I want to point out that Shelley must have lied about not seeing Oswald outside during the assassination because Lovelady didn't lie. Lovelady could have stated outright that he was the Doorway Man. But, he didn't. And Joseph Ball could have asked him directly, "Who is this man?" or "Is that man you?" Wouldn't that have been the non-insane way to approach it? After all, that is what he wanted to know. 

So, why instead did Ball play the game with the arrow-drawing? It's because it was non-verbal. He didn't want to take a chance on Lovelady saying something ruinous. He wanted to see it first. And Lovelady drew an arrow which indicated that he was not the Doorway Man:

Do you realize what that means? It means that, in effect, Lovelady was admitting that Doorman was Oswald, and that he saw him out there. After all, HOW COULD HE NOT SEE HIM WHEN THEY WERE STANDING RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER? 

So, in his actions, Lovelady showed us that he was not the Doorway and Osawld was. Oswald HAD to be. After all, this was an either/or situation. As soon as Lovelady indicated that he was someone else other than Doorman, that meant, ipso-facto, that Oswald HAD to be Doorman. 

So, Lovelady knew that Oswald was Doorman, and he was willing to indicate it- at the time. Later, they scared the bejesus out of him, and he started assuming the role that they, the conspirators, demanded of him. 

But, if Lovelady saw Oswald outside- and he did- then you know that Shelley also must have seen Oswald outside. He was standing in the same doorway- which is a small, cramped place. And believe me I know because I have stood there. It's small and cramped now, and it was even smaller and more cramped then. 

Therefore, Bill Shelley lied when he said that he didn't see Oswald between 11:45 and 1:30 at the PD. He saw Lee Oswald out front, just as Lee Oswald saw him out front.
