I would assume if she saw the rifle or a weapon she would have said so. It just helps prove her opinion that he did it. There was no rifle in the garage.

So what you are saying is we use Ruth Paine when it suits us but discard her when it doesn't?

I read that we have 50 witnesses that saw the presidential limo stop before the fatal head shot. I watched Doug Horne's doc on the Zapruder film, which was very good and shows a strong case of alteration of the Zapruder film that would have taken those frames out among other changes. If you believe in those items as I do, how would have Greer known when to stop the limo? At a certain place, after hearing the first shot(which would be tough), a sign(Umbrella man, other), completely by accident, or other? I don't buy into Greer shooting Kennedy. Also if Greer is involved by stopping on purpose, isn't that a huge risk, hoping he is not shot in the process, putting faith in the gunmen not to miss?

Thanks great article. It all makes sense...a lot of it's common sense i.e. Oswald not knowing the parade route ahead of time so he could get a job at TSBD. Curious how the lone nut crew would debate your article. It sounds like it was random that Oswald went home that night and perhaps Frazier and his sister may have been used to show potential guilt.

Yes, I have been dying to read McBride's book but for some reason, it was fairly expensive. I think I will pick up Lisa's RFK book next. I had just finished Mary's Mosiac which was a good read and I know some of you here aren't fans, read the article at Kennedys and King about it. I had read that McBride's book is the best on the Tippett murder.

If I remember correctly The Thin Blue Line was in Dallas. It was an old boy's racist White Hat network.

I once thought Oswald was in place to try to stop the assassination ala The Parallax View but of course, I don't have enough evidence to ever prove that. Or at least to think he was stopping it.

I got your latest going through it now. Thanks for the links.

Frazier seems to be all over the place. It seems like Oswald might have been dropped off out front if so then Frazier is lying. There is not enough witnesses seeing Oswald enter the TSBD with or without a package. Something seems fishy with Frazier.

You turned on me fast LOL!

I am a CT'er but we can still believe Oswald did it or was involved just not alone. I personally believe he wasn't involved in either murder but that doesn't mean there aren't things that need to be reconciled. I think it was a good question from a Facebook group that has a louder LN contingent. No matter what stance you take there are unreconciled things that can't fully be explained without some leaps.

So it just happened to be a random reason. So say he just goes back to his apartment instead. They still set him up but they don't have him bringing the rifle to work. Was that just lucky added evidence that he went there? Does Marina force him there? That's pretty lucky for the conspirators that he had an argument with her and had to go back there.

On the Fair Play for JFK site on FB, a person asked if us CT'ers all believe Oswald is a patsy(which not all CT'ers do) then how do we explain Oswald going to the Paine's house on Thursday instead of his norm. To set him up they would have to make sure he goes home Thursday. So I am curious how we would explain that. I could think of some possible reasons but I don't have any evidence. There are a lot smarter people here that could help me to figure this inconsistency out. I don't buy the curtain rods story. I do think Frazier is untrustworthy in a lot of his story along with his sister. So how do we get Oswald home so we can get him "bringing his rifle to work"? I apologize if this has been gone over somewhere else on the site. Thanks

Can't wait to dig into this paper, amazing work!

The assassination of Lumumba has been criminally ignored.

From New Hampshire. Interested in the JFK assassination since I was a teen. Started with Henry Hurt's Reasonable Doubt in the '80s, Mark Lane, Crossfire by Jim Marrs and continued with many more of the well-known authors. I have read alternate views as well such as Case Closed and Reclaiming History. Also interested in the RFK and MLK cases. Amateur history buff.
