Thoughts on a bus trip

[David Josephs]

You are an excellent researcher, Mr. Joseph, absolutely admire and appreciate your keen insights.

In respect to the whole bus/cab scenario, I personally don't believe the wrongfully accused was anywhere near a bus or cab that afternoon, in spite of officialdom putting words into a deadman's mouth to the contrary.

I once set out many moons ago to research the phantom bus and cab rides, but upon reading the following Warren Commission testimony from Mrs. Bledsoe, who swore up and down she saw the wrongfully accused on her bus, I caught her in a lie that suggests she is also lying about the phantom bus encounter as well. One lie needs another lie....Here's her outright lie as she describes an early encounter with Oswald on October 7, 1963 when she was showing him a room she had for rent (please note this encounter takes place weeks before the birth of his 2nd infant child, Rachel, later that month ---->

Mr. JENNER - He told you at that time and informed you that he was unemployed?
Mrs. BLEDSOE - Yes.
Mr. JENNER - And he would be seeking work?
Mrs. BLEDSOE - Yes.
Mr. JENNER - And he said that he was going to bring his wife?
Mrs. BLEDSOE - Yes.
Mr. JENNER - And--when and if he obtained employment?
Mrs. BLEDSOE - And so, that give me a lead, something to talk about, and I said, "Well, what kind of work do you do? "Oh, I do electronics," he said, and I said, "Well, there is some good jobs because you are young, and you can get a good job a young man like you."
And then went on. Then something about him being in the Marines, and I said, "Well, that is wonderful. My son was in the Navy." And talking about him, you know, just getting to know him, and--but, "here is a picture of my wife, and picture of the girl, and the baby." And I said, "Oh, she has got a baby, hasn't she?" And he said, "Yes."

Thank you so much for the kind words Alan.

Sadly I will have to disagree with your assessment of what was said by Bledsoe. Below is the calendar she speaks of and what could have passed for the images shown given the comments.
I'm just not sure based on what is said and not knowing what was shown that he would be showing any "baby" photos.

I'm fairly sure that it was a 2 part sentence with 2 photos being shown.

1) here is a picture of my wife and
2) picture of the girl (Marina) and the baby (June) - the photo on the right includes Ozzie of course so it may not have been the one shown... I'd have to go dig to see if we can find which images he showed her.

"here is a picture of my wife, and picture of the girl, and the baby"

Yet I could be totally off here and the testimony could have been contrived... I just find that hard to believe given what they knew about when everyone was born by the time she testifies.
That afternoon though, her descrption of the arrest shirt - imo - gives away her complicit nature.

Oh, and McWatters once again said it was not Oswald... why, I wonder, is that not enough for some folk.
