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

As a rule of thumb, don't believe any of these people who started to claim, years or decades later, that they were there and part of it all. That includes the ladies JB and BO, as well as this guy, Louie Steven Witt, who claimed in 1979 that he was Umbrella Man. He told the preposterous story that what he was doing there with that umbrella on a bright sunny afternoon was demonstrating against JFK's father, Joseph P. Kennedy Sr. for appeasing the Nazis. It is absurd for anyone to expect JFK to see a guy with an umbrella in 1963 and think, "Oh, he must be protesting my father, because my father, like Neville Chamberlain, tried to appease Hitler, and his umbrella is a symbol for Chamberlain's umbrella. Of course!"

For Goodness sake, it was 1963, and World War II was long over. The Nazis were defeated- except for the 2800 of so that we brought over here and gave lush lives to for what they could do for us, including Michael Paine's boss, Nazi General Walter Dornberger. 

But, we had a new enemy by then, our former ally, the Soviet Union. So, why would JFK's mind be on Hitler and Chamberlain, with or without his umbrella? It's just ridiculous. Louie Witt was full o' shit.

But, while I'm at it, I'll point out that Joseph P. Kennedy Sr. was a hero. He, at least, tried to stop World War II from happening. His goal was not to appease the Nazis but to prevent the slaughter of millions of people that would come with another world war. 65 million people got killed in World War II. And don't anyone try to tell me that it was the "good war." There was absolutely nothing good on either side of that war. If you really get into studying World War II, as I have, you'll realize that it was just plain evil. And that's why we have to stop having wars because wars are inherently and inevitably evil. War makes monsters out of men. I can't say it too many times. War makes monsters out of men; war makes monsters out of men; war makes monsters out of men. Joseph P. Kennedy could not prevent World War II, but at least, he tried. And yet, they continue to smear him to this day. And by the way, they killed his first son Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. too, and for the same reason they killed JFK except pre-emptively. His was more like the killing of JFK Jr. which was also pre-emptive. Why wait until they get into office? It's much easier if you do it beforehand. A stitch in time saves nine.
