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

 Let's stay on this ridiculous bag. It got retired. The bag that Detective Montgomery waltzed around with in front of the TSBD vanished and was replaced with CE 142, which was very different. It was very oblong and perfectly rectangular. Montgomery's bag was pyramidal. It was wide at the bottom and narrow at the opening, which made it look triangular. There is no way that these two are the same bag.

Somebody must have realized that there was no way that Montgomery's bag was something Oswald could have made from paper and tape. It was obviously manufactured. They could have gone that route, of saying that Oswald found a bag, but where could he have found a bag that size and shape? It's not as though everyone has one in their cupboard.

First, note that two different detectives claimed to find Oswald's bag: Robert Studebaker and JC Day. Day claimed that Roy Truly was present when he found it, but when asked, Truly denied it.

Detective Montgomery denied that he was the first to pick up the bag, although his partner, Detective Marvin Johnson, said he was.

Both Studebaker and Day were police photographers with cameras, but it didn't occur to either one of them to photograph the bag where it was found. There is no photo of the bag lying where it was supposedly found.

But, the story gets even more ridiculous after that because do you know where the bag was supposedly found? In the Sniper's Nest. And although Studebaker didn't take a picture of it in the Sniper's Nest, he did take a picture of the Sniper's Nest without it, in which he drew in the bag.

But, wait a second. Let's think about this. Oswald, presumably, had to assemble the rifle, using a dime as a screwdriver. He could not have done that in the Sniper's Nest because there was no room. He would have had to lay the bag out. The story goes that the bag was found neatly folded up in the Sniper's Nest. So, Oswald, after carefully preserving the bag and making sure not to tear it when he emptied its contents, also carefully folded it up and brought it with him to the Sniper's Nest? Why would he do that? I

The weird thing is that the 3 shells were also found in the Sniper's Nest, and they weren't moved until someone took a photo of them. Yet, it never occurred to anyone to photograph the bag in the spot that it was found?

And did you know that besides not having any tears in it, this bag that Oswald supposedly made from brown paper had no marks, scrapes, or impressions whatsoever after having carried jagged rifle parts in a several blocks walk? There was no evidence whatsoever that the bag ever carried a rifle.

Then, they claimed to find a partial print from the heel of Oswald's right hand and a partial print of his left index finger on the bag. But, that's it. Supposedly, Oswald handled that paper a lot: when he took it, when he carried it; when he made it into a bag, and when he carried the bag. So, why weren't a lot of his fingerprints found?

And remember that not Frazier, not Marina, and not Ruth Paine ever saw Oswald with a bag.

All these things have been pointed to by others except for what I started with, which is the disconnection between the bag that Montgomery pranced around Elm Street with and the one that became CE 142. Montgomery's bag was clearly a manufactured bag and not just paper and tape. There is no way that Oswald, or anyone else, made Montgomery's bag. It is too damn good. In a word, it is undoubtedly a real bag.

Nothing about the bag story makes any sense, including the idea that Oswald would start by constructing a bag. There is no chance that he, or anyone, would have done that. Instead, you would just put down the paper, put the rifle parts on top of it, and then wrap it and tape it. YOU WOULD NOT START BY MAKING A BAG. Nobody would do that. Not one of the 8 billion people on Earth would.

And all this bag nonsense points to one thing: that the federal government killed Kennedy in a coup d'etat, and they have been lying about it for 63 years.
