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

Baiting the Buffs

Baiting the buffs, baiting the buffs, baiting the buffs. It's been going on for a very long time. 

So, in 1977, right during the HSCA, an FBI memo surfaces in which a guy says that Jack Ruby invited him to "watch the fireworks" in Dealey Plaza with him. Oh really? And then this fellow, being of a criminal bent, winds up in the Dallas County Jail "where he got to know Jack Ruby better." Now, isn't that special? Baiting the buffs, baiting the buffs, baiting the buffs. 

And in 1978, also during HSCA, a Dallas reporter claims to have interviewed Carolyn Arnold in which she told him something that was totally in conflict with her documented statements about seeing Oswald: she said she saw him eating in the 2nd floor lunch room 5 minutes before the shooting. Hmm. That's funny. Because Oswald said he ate in the 1st floor lunch room, and it's hard to imagine why he would lie about which lunch room he ate in. But, the claims of this reporter (Earl Golz) was all there was. Carolyn Arnold, herself, never came forward.  We never heard from her directly; just him. Baiting the buffs. Baiting the buffs, baiting the buffs, baiting the buffs. 

Then in 1991, JFK the movie included some grainy footage of Officer Marrion Baker running towards the steps of the TSBD, and when he got there, there's a portly figure at the top of the steps. It took, what, 20 years, but some fool on the Education Forum decided "Oswald!" and a whole new preoccupation was born, which resulted in a book which Debra Conway made book of the year, even though she is like the godmother of Buell Frazier. You've heard of the Don. Well, you can call her the Dam. And, Buell Frazier says that his good friend Lee Oswald wasn't there. 

Here they are, Debra and Buell. Don't they look fine? Such devotion. You don't see enough of that these days. 

But then, when someone, a Stan Dane, wrote a book saying that Buell Frazier is completely full of shit, she made it JFK book of the year. What a betrayal of Buell.  But, what she really was doing was: baiting the buffs, baiting the buffs, baiting the buffs. Anything to create noise that will distract people from the truth, that Oswald WAS standing in the doorway, AS the Altgens Doorman.  

Baiting the buffs. It goes way back. Here's one from November 25, 1963:

Did you know that Bill DeMar saw Lee Harvey Oswald in the Carousel Club the week before, meaning just days before the JFK assassination? Hmmm. That's funny. Because Oswald didn't drink. And he didn't smoke, and he actually hated to be around smoke, and those clubs were very smokey, especially in those days. Today, many cities have banned smoking in nightclubs, but none banned it then, and you can be sure it was smokey. And he had no car. And, he was very frugal. So, you really think that after working at the TSBD, he went back to his boarding room, and then what? Took a bus or cab to the Carousel Club? What for? To see the striptease acts? You think he was into that? Based on what? OR, was it to conspire with Jack Ruby about their diabolical plan to kill John F. Kennedy?
