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

The other thing to realize is that on November 22, they were framing Oswald for two things: killing Kennedy and killing Tippit. Do you really think that in addition to that and at the same time that they sought to frame him for riding a bus and cab? That frame-up would have been just as big and just as hard to do as the other two, involving a phony story, phony witnesses, and phony evidence. Do you really think they would have taken on a third scheme to have to pull off at the same time as the other two on the day? How multi-tasked do you think these people were? 

Of course, the decision to frame Oswald for killing Kennedy was made long before. How much longer? I don't know, but it had to be after he got from Russia, but perhaps soon after he got back from Russia.

However, the decision to kill Tippit and blame it on Oswald- to use it as a pretext to arrest Oswald- I don't know when they made that decision, but it may have been very late. It may have been in the final days.  I don't know when they made it, but I can't imagine that they were planning for months to kill Tippit.

But, when could they have made a decision to frame Oswald for riding the bus and cab? Until that afternoon, Oswald hadn't acted yet. How could they anticipate what Oswald was going to do? 

So, if a decision was made to frame Oswald for riding the bus and cab, it would have had to be made on the spot. Someone would have had to have a brainstorm that afternoon that the Dallas Police should do this. Who would that have been? Captain Will Fritz? Police Chief Jesse Curry? Dallas DA Henry Wade? 

Whoever you think it was, who would he have gone to? Who would he have talked to? And who was authorized to approve it?

Remember that the assassination of JFK wasn't a Dallas plot. It was a national plot. There were Dallas people involved, but it was done under the auspices of the national security state. The decision to frame Oswald for riding the bus and cab had risks, and those risks would have jeopardized the entire operation. If word got out that the Dallas Police had framed Oswald for riding a bus and cab, it would have been like an instant flash that OSWALD DIDN'T DO IT; HE DIDN'T KILL KENNEDY. And obviously, if he didn't kill Kennedy, he didn't kill Tippit. So, the success of the entire operation would have been imperiled by such a scheme. It would have put everything at risk, including a lot of people in high places, going all the way up to the Vice President of the United States.   

So, why would anyone think that Will Fritz or Jesse Curry or Henry Wade would have been willing to take responsibility for that huge and pivotal decision: to start from scratch and invent an odyssey for Oswald, replete with phony witnesses and a real cast of characters, plus a very quirky tale of travel that no one would have likely been able to make up, especially in so short a time? And if one of them got such a brainstorm about it, do you think he just would have done it?  Started rolling with it? Gone through with it? Got the underlings to do it? Without asking anyone higher up in the food chain? And I don't mean at the police department but at the highest level of the conspiracy. It was too big a decision for any of those guys to make. So how could they possibly come up with a phony bus transfer ticket by 4:00? Oswald didn't get there until 2:00, and they didn't start talking to him until 3:15. And yet, they were ready to launch another conspiracy within the conspiracy that was just big as the other two? 

Oswald rode the bus and cab. If that disappoints you, I'm terribly sorry, but you need to get over it.
