If you think that the Dallas Police planted the bus transfer ticket on Oswald, you need to think about it some more, and ask yourself: how? 

One thing is for sure: if Oswald had lived, the plan would have backfired. If Oswald had lived, he'd have gone to trial, and I guarantee you that he would have wound up with a dream team of lawyers working pro bono: Mark Lane and Vincent Salandria for sure, and probably others. And when he told them that he didn't ride any bus and never got any bus transfer ticket, they would have jumped on that like sharks on a bloody carcass. 

So, the whole scheme crucially depended on Oswald being killed, and perhaps you think the Dallas Police knew that was coming. 

But, the thing is: there was no guarantee. Assassination isn't a sure thing. How many times did the CIA try to kill Castro? But, he's still alive, if not completely well, today in 2014. There was lots that could go wrong. Ruby could have shot Oswald but not fatally. People sometimes recover from gunshot wounds to the abdomen. I read the autobiography of Jane Fonda, and it she said that her brother Peter got shot in the belly, accidentally, as a boy. It was a close brush with death, but as you know, Peter Fonda survived.

And they were only going to get one chance at killing Oswald. How could they let such a thing happen twice? A second attempt would have been transparently obvious.    

But wait! Even with Oswald dead, the phony bus and cab story would have been extremely perilous. The guy who drove him could have come forward. "Oswald didn't take the bus and cab; I drove him." And this driver had nothing to worry about. He wasn't guilty of anything. He wasn't a getaway driver because Oswald didn't do anything. He didn't kill Kennedy. It's no crime to give your buddy a ride home from work. 

And even if that guy didn't come forward, someone else who saw them could have come forward. Once the police entered that bus transfer ticket into evidence, they owned it. They could never retract it if something surfaced that refuted it. And at the time they entered it into evidence, they had no idea what could surface.

What was at stake in planting the bus transfer ticket? EVERYTHING. The whole conspiracy. The whole plot and all the players in it. That's what was at stake. 

So, who made the decision? Who made the call? Who decided to hang the entire scheme and everyone involved in it around a bus transfer ticket that didn't exist? 

Think carefully about who would have made that decision, and then think about how that person got so many other people to cooperate with it. It took a lot of legwork to make it happen. They had to decide upon a particular bus to say Oswald was on. They had to hone-in on a driver. Then they had to locate his bus and get on it and issue themselves a transfer ticket that they could claim was Oswald's. 

But, think about this: the bus transfer ticket was entered into evidence at 4:00 PM. But, they didn't reach Cecil McWatters until 6:00 PM. So, they committed themselves-irreversibly- to claiming Oswald's bus ride before even talking to the driver who supposedly drove the bus. 

What if he refused to cooperate? What if he denounced the whole thing? How would it look then? Don't you think they would have made sure that McWatters was going to play ball before committing themselves to an irreversible course? 

And what about the detectives, like Sims and his partner, who were involved? Why did they do it? Why were they willing to do it? What was their motive?  I hope nobody thinks it was their idea to plant a phony bus ticket on Oswald. So, when they were told to do it, it was tantamount to being told: 

"Look, Oswald is innocent; he didn't kill anybody; but we've got to frame him, and that includes framing him for riding a bus and cab. So, figure out a bus and driver, round up some phony witnesses, and see if you can come up with some physical evidence like a transfer ticket. Make it look good." 

What reason did Sims and his partner have to get involved with that? What did they have against Kennedy? What did they have against Oswald? You can't go about setting up a phony story unknowingly. 

Oswald didn't reach the police department until 2:00, and according to the official record, his first interrogation didn't start until 3:15. Therefore, they didn't hear a word from him about anything until then. Yet, somehow, 45 minutes later, they had a phony bus figured out and a phony transfer ticket in hand? How could they possibly have done that so fast?  

The problem is that the people want to claim all this aren't watching the movie in their heads to see how it unfolds. It doesn't unfold well at all. The impracticalities are numerous and huge. There is just no way they could have obtained a phony bus transfer ticket in that amount of time- unless you want to say it was planned well in advance before Kennedy even got killed. But, that's just plain crazy.

Oh, and another problem is that the timeline doesn't work for Oswald. At 12:30, he left the doorway and went to the lunch room. After a very brief (and I mean no more than 10 seconds) encounter with Truly and Baker, he got a Coke, walked through Mrs. Reid's office- without stopping to talk to her. Then, he went downstairs, and gave two people directions to the pay phone, and then he left. 

What do you think that amounts to in time? It could not have been more than 5 minutes, and that's being generous. It was more likely within 4 minutes. It may have been out of there before 12:34, therefore, in the 12:33 minute. So, how could Oswald still be there at 12:45 to get into a Nash Rambler? What do you have him doing between 12:35 and 12:45? Where exactly was he and what was he doing? Do you know how long 10 minutes is when you have nothing to do? Try sitting down at your kitchen table with an egg timer set for 10 minutes. It'll be the longest 10 minutes of your life. 

Damn bpunk claims that Judyth Baker places Oswald on the 6th floor locking and loading. She does not. She places him in the doorway. She just recently published an article proving that Doorman's shirt could not possibly have been Lovelady's, and that means it had to be Oswald's. It's not as though there are any other candidates. 

You see, in bpunk's evil world, you're bound to anything you said in the past even if you've changed your mind, and vigorously, as Judyth has. But, bpunk doesn't care. He considers previous statements as lifelong contracts. 

Judyth Baker is a senior member of the Oswald Innocence Campaign, and every senior member has to raise their right hand and swear to this:

Mission Statement

 

We, the members of the Oswald Innocence Campaign, maintain that at the time of President Kennedy's assassination, Lee Harvey Oswald was standing in the doorway of the Texas School Book Depository, where he was photographed by James "Ike" Altgens, which is clearly evident upon close examination of the photograph. This discovery categorically exonerates Oswald from having shot the President. We call upon the media to renounce the official story that impugns him--including the "Magic Bullet" theory, which is a conspiratorial fabrication--and we demand that the American government cease obstructing justice by promoting a gross falsehood, based on lies, which has allowed the true killers to remain free, unindicted, and unpunished.

Nobody becomes a senior member of the OIC without endorsing that statement- in writing. And Judyth did. 

So, don't you tell me what she believes, you bloodied bastard. She now believes in Oswald in the doorway, and ptoi! That spitball is on you. 

But, bpunk can't get around the fact that Oswald told Fritz that he went "home by bus" because he wrote it down in the same notes in which he wrote "out with Bill Shelley in front". And we know the notes weren't chronological because it lists the encounter with Truly and Baker before the eating of lunch, and we know that the lunch eating came first. So, we don't have to be concerned about that; it's only a problem for the bloodied punk. Oswald was definitely referring to being out front with Shelley during the passing of the motorcade and not afterwards, since there is NO CHANCE that Shelley was out there afterwards, when Oswald left for home. 

But, it's true that in a later interrogation, Oswald mentioned changing both his pants and his shirt. And, I assume the exact same thing: that Fritz wrote it down because Oswald said it. 

So, why did Oswald lie about it? I can only guess about that. They definitely didn't find any shirt in the dirty clothes that corresponded to the one he mentioned. And don't listen to that evil bpunk, who helps himself to the idea that another shirt which was found and exhibited was the one that Oswald changed out of. The Warren Commission never said that; they never intimated that; and nobody else has in 50 years. It's just a stupid, unsupported claim that the shitty bpunk pulled out of his ass. Nobody else. Just him. Sitting there wherever he is in the UK.

Note to bpete: men have lots of shirts. There is no reason to assume that because another shirt was found and featured that it had to be a shirt he changed out of. It wasn't claimed by the ones featuring it, so where do you get the nerve? 

Oswald's bus transfer ticket was found in his shirt pocket. Mrs. Bledsoe confirmed that the shirt she saw him wearing on the bus was his arrest shirt. She even remembered the hole in the right elbow. Officer Marrion Baker identified the shirt he saw as Oswald's arrest shirt. Plus, Oswald admitted that he rode the bus and got the transfer. He would not have bothered to transfer the transfer ticket because he wasn't riding the bus again. Furthermore, the transfer wasn't even any good. Read what it says:

     

It was good "at the first point of intersection or transfer point on corresponding lines". It wasn't good anywhere in the city. Oswald had walked some distance to the bus depot, and then he traveled by cab to where he lived.  Would he have been eligible to use that transfer ticket again? It's highly doubtful, and furthermore, we know he didn't. There is no reason and no right to assume that he transferred that transfer ticket. 

The physical characteristics of Oswald's arrest shirt were very unique and certainly not typical of an American shirt. It wasn't an American shirt. It was one that Oswald brought back with him from Russia. And we can see the unique features on him in the doorway.

That is the same fucking shirt, Asshole. The little furl on his right, the long jacket-like lapel on his left, the open sprawl- it's exactly the same. There is no way in this universe that that was Lovelady's shirt decked out the same. 

I can only guess as to why Oswald said he changed his shirt. But, he definitely didn't change it. Remember what Marrion Baker said:

Mr. BELIN - Did you notice what clothes the man was wearing as he came up to you?
Mr. BAKER - At that particular time I was looking at his face, and it seemed to me like he had a light brown jacket on and maybe some kind of white-looking shirt.

The "light brown jacket" was Oswald's arrest shirt, which was light brown. And why shouldn't Baker have called it a jacket?

His "shirt" had as big a lapel as the jacket of the detective. 

And the "white shirt" that Baker referenced referred to the white t-shirt, and there is no other choice about that. There is no other white shirt. 

If Oswald had been wearing a red shirt, wouldn't Baker have seen it? Didn't he know the difference between "light brown" and "red"? Was he colorblind? 

Oswald didn't change his shirt. It's one of the few things that the Warren Commission got right. 

It seems that Will Fritz wasn't in a lying mood that day. He wrote down that Oswald was "out with Bill Shelley in front" and that was the most damning thing he could write down. Fritz certainly didn't make it up. He wrote it down because Oswald said it. And likewise, he wrote down "home by bus" because Oswald said it. 

It means that Oswald definitely said that he went home by bus. So, if he didn't do it, why did he say it? Why would he lie about that? Whoever supposedly picked him up wasn't a getaway driver because Oswald hadn't done anything. It may have been against the Depository rules for him to leave, but it wasn't against the law. There were no criminal issues involved. So, why would Oswald have lied about it? 

These are the Fritz Notes. Look what it says: 

home by bus changed britches

Fritz didn't make that up. Did he make up "out with Bill Shelley in front"? Of course not. Oswald said both those things to Fritz, and that's why Fritz wrote them down.  

So, those who want to say that the Dallas Police lied about Oswald having taken the bus and cab need to explain why Oswald lied about having taken the bus and cab. 

Look at this, Backes: the ladies like me. Ah, but they always have. 

Thank you, Juliette. 

That's right, Backass. This is Marguerite Claverie, age 15, on the left and her mother on the right.

It's her, Backes. She has the same features as she did years later. 

Jesus Christ, Backes, are you so indifferent to females that you can't tell that these two are the same one?

And certainly neither one of them is this female:

Some idiot faked that signing. What mother signs something like that to her son? Maybe Backes proudly displayed a signed picture like that from his mother in his college dorm. But, a woman doesn't generally write things like that to her son. And guess what? If you do the Math, you discover that Robert Oswald was only 1 year old at that time. And that makes it even more freaky and even more fake.
