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

It's very clear now that Robert Groden was hoaxed when he met with a woman who claimed to be Mrs. Jeraldean Reid who said that she was making change for Oswald during the shooting. Mrs. Jeraldean Reid testified to the Warren Commission as Mrs. Robert Reid, and she claimed that she, herself, was outside watching the motorcade with her boss, Mr. Campbell, and that right afterwards, she returned to her office, and she encountered Oswald on the 2nd floor. It was exactly 2 minutes after the shooting. They timed it afterwards, just as they did for Marrion Baker. She said, in her testimony, which was given under oath, that Oswald already had a Coke when she saw him, and that he said nothing to her at all when they passed.  Read it yourself:

Some have tried to claim that that was someone else, but no, that was Jeraldean Reid. Her husband's name was Robert, as you can see on their mutual gravestone. She died in 1973, just 10 years after the assassination. 

So, that's definitely her, and Groden's story is a pile of horse manure. But, I don't say he made it up. I believe that he met with somebody who claimed to be Mrs. Jeraldean Reid and that she told him that cockamamie story.

But, the reason I am telling you this is because I suspect it's not the only time such a thing happened. I have grave doubts about Earl Getz meeting with the real Carolyn Arnold in 1978. 

The Carolyn Arnold that Getz met with denied saying the things that were written up by FBI Agent Richard Emberley resulting from his interview of Carolyn Arnold on November 26, 1963 in which she said that she believed that she saw Oswald at the doorway shortly before the assassination.  She said he was at the doorway but inside the glass. Remember, the front entrance was all glass. 

So, she claimed that Oswald hadn't stepped out yet, that he was peering through the glass from the inside, and she saw him. She was in front of the steps, and you can see her in the Wiegman film. 

Now, Emberley put a time of 12:15 on that, but that can't possibly be true, and that's because Caroline was in the company of two other young secretaries, and they all reported not going outside until 12:25. Caroline Arnold was the pregnant one.

So, I and Professor Gerald McKnight believe that Emberley generated the time of 12:15 himself in order to, theoretically, leave Oswald enough time to get up to the 6th floor. And by the way, that came directly from the mouth of Dr. McKnight because I talked to him about it on the phone. 

But, higher-ups at the FBI were smarter than Emberley, and they realized that it still looked bad, real bad, for Oswald to be downstairs, milling around, and looking through the glass as late as 12:15. There was a Sniper's Nest to build, a rifle to assemble- and using a dime as a screwdriver, to boot. 

So, they went back to the TSBD in March 1964 and got a signed statement from Carolyn Arnold saying that she did not see Lee Harvey Oswald at all that day. And let her state the real time she went outside, which was 12:25.

But, the Carolyn Arnold that Getz met with in 1978 was apparently unaware that Carolyn Arnold had signed that statement in 1964 stating that she didn't see Oswald on 11/22/63.

And that's when the 1978 Carolyn Arnold went onandon about having seen Oswald eating in the 2nd floor lunch room as she was making her way downstairs at 12:25. She said that he was sitting alone at a table, apparently eating.

There isn't a snowball's chance in Hell that that is true. First, Oswald told investigators where he ate; the 1st floor lunch room. Now, why would he lie about where he ate? He wouldn't. He couldn't. He didn't. But second, he AlWAYS ate in the 21st floor lunch room, and for multiple reasons: That is where the warehouse workers AKA order-fillers, were supposed to eat. They had a shelf there where you could put your lunch until lunchtime, which he used and did use that day. That's where he put his cheese sandwich and apple which he brought from Mrs. Paine's house. Then, there was also the fact that there was usually a daily newspaper put there, which Oswald liked to read or browse through while he was eating. 

Furthermore, in his own statements, Oswald said that he ate early in the lunch break, that as soon as they broke for lunch that he went and ate. And they broke for lunch early that day because of the motorcade. It was at 11:45.

So, there is absolutely no chance that Oswald was sitting in the 2nd floor lunch room eating at 11:25. That story is a complete fabrication. 

So, why did they come up with it? They came up with it because the HSCA was going on, and Doorway Man was in the spotlight again.  And obviously, if Oswald was in the doorway during the shooting then he was completely exonerated. 

So, the purpose of this alternate story was to draw people away from accepting the doorway as being Oswald's alibi. It created a phony alibi for him that they knew could never stick because it's false. You should realize that the official story is a lie, but it will never be supplanted by another lie. So, they, the perpetrators and their allies, are safe telling alternate stories that are lies. And they know that. That's why they didn't hesitate to spread the phony story that Jack Ruby "watched the fireworks" with someone in Dealey Plaza.  As recently as 2017, the media was pushing that. They were pushing it like crazy. Why? Because the most important consideration that they have about Jack Ruby is that no one realize that he was completely and totally innocent. So, they want to heap  not just the Oswald assassination on him, but the JFK assassination too, so that his guilt is layers deep. In reality, he had no guilt at all. He was a very decent man. 

So, why would the real Carolyn Arnold, if she wanted to come clean over 5000 days after the assassination, go to Earl Getz? And why would she let him speak for her? Why wouldn't she go to her Congressman? Why wouldn't she write a book? Why wouldn't she speak for herself at a press conference? Why talk to him and then disappear into the shadows again? 

I am absolutely sure that Robert Groden did not speak to the real Jeraldean Reid, and I am almost as sure that Earl Getz did not speak to the real Carolyn Arnold. These are just lies. They are phony stories that are meant to mislead people, to lead them away from the truth. And the truth is that Lee Harvey Oswald was standing in the doorway during the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
