Heads Up!

[Tracy Riddle]

I think Payette is a full-blown Lone Nutter...

.

He may be, but, he also asks a question about PM/PW that I (quietly) asked myself quite a few times while that issue was hot, and pondered outside the context of that issue as well:

(quoting LP): If an elaborate conspiracy had been put into place to frame patsy LHO for the assassination of JFK, how could the conspirators possibly have allowed LHO to be anywhere where he might be seen by multiple witnesses or even photographed during the critical time period when he was supposedly in the sixth-floor sniper's test assassinating the President? How could the conspirators possibly have risked blowing the entire conspiracy by allowing Oswald to wander around inside the TSBD or even outside onto the front steps?
..
..
Certainly PP is as worthy of investigation as any other avenue of research, but realistically what are the chances that the one person in the photo who cannot even be reliably identified as a man or a woman "just happens" to be our mysterious friend LHO - and if it is, how on earth did the conspirators allow him to get there? I am now inclined to believe that the accepted timing of the lunchroom encounter is off by enough to have made it more likely that LHO could have descended from the sixth floor to the second. In any event, I would like to hear from someone who can articulate what sense it would have made in the context of an elaborate, well-orchestrated conspiracy to have allowed the patsy to be standing outside the TSBD at the time he was supposed to be in the sixth floor sniper's nest shooting the President.

That's exactly what I've asked many times. What if Oswald had been standing right on the Elm St. sidewalk, in plain view and photographed by a half-dozen people? No, Oswald's handler(s) must have been given him instructions to hang around inside the building on the first or second floor. There was a phone in the first floor warehouse. He could have been told to wait for a call at approximately 12:30, and after that he went up to the second floor to get a soda (or something like that).
