After scanning/reading the 28 page first article and shorter second article, I came away with the following thoughts:
1. The only persons who seem to be obviously involved in the Tippit/Oswald situation seem to be Tommy Rowe (friend of Ruby's who worked at the shoe store next to the Texas Theater), Captain William R. Westbrook and also Sgt. Kenneth Croy. The article mentions the name Westbrook 300 times, so it's hard to memorize everything said about him. Also, J D Tippit had some involvement, though not necessarily complicity in the JFK hit.
2. You have to start with understanding the state of mind of Oswald. Just like John Wilkes Booth. There's a huge difference between a John Wilkes Booth who worked for Confederate Intelligence vs. John Wilkes Booth who worked for the Vatican vs. John Wilkes Booth who acted alone. You have to figure out what was going on in the mind of Oswald before you can go any further.
3. You have to work with "probably". The test is "which is more probable?" To me it's impossible to believe that a best friend of Jack Ruby just happened to be working for the guy who identified Oswald. That's TOTALLY IMPROBABLE. You get what I'm saying.
4. Police are apparently totally involved in planting and manufacturing evidence in (maybe) almost all cases. Just look at the OJ Simpson case and the INSTANT AND ON-THE-SPOT manufacturing of evidence as O J was fleeing the scene. You have "throw-down guns" or the gloves that don't fit, etc. You apparently don't need pre-planning to have evidence planted, like for instance, the brown jacket in the parking lot. But the existence of two wallets obviously couldn't have been manufactured or happened on the scene.
5. As head of personnel, Capt. Westrick would have reason to often visit with in private with Mayor Earl Cabell who we know was a CIA asset. Westrick was transfered to Saigon, etc etc.
6. Westrick was driving around in an unmarked car, so he could have transported Oswald, travelled from crime scene to crime scene, etc. It's no surprise that Westrick had handled all the phony evidence including the gun of LHO, the second wallet, the jacket, etc. etc.
7. The activivities of Oswald in the theater when he went from witness to witness calling attention to himself matches up perfectly to his actions described by Judyth Vary Baker when she and Oswald would ride the bus to Reily Coffee Co. Oswald was thoroughly trained in analyzing exactly what behavior (1) would be remembered by onlooking witnesses and (2) what behavior would not be remembered or noted by witnesses. This was similar to George H W Bush and his virtuoso performance in disguising his whereabouts on 11-22-63. This stuff must go with REALLY EXPERT SPIES like Bush and Oswald.
8. I still maintain that LHO must have left the TSBD with the intention of stopping off at his rooming house (or maybe a safe house) and then going to the Texas Theater to avoid getting "shot while escaping". (1) If you were Oswald and (2) you knew you were the patsy, (3) and you knew you might be "shot while escaping", then (4) a theater would be the only place that you wouldn't be shot on-the-spot due to the large number of witnesses. Like Ruby, anyone who shot Oswald, even if he were a policeman, would be charged and tried for murder if it were not PROVEN TO BE IN SELF-DEFENSE. Just too much publicity. An Oswald-killer would be prosecuted regardless because of CYA.
9. If Ruby were a friend of LHO, then Ruby's buddy Tommy Rowe could have played a double role. He could have conspired with LHO and gotten a job near the Theater to scope out the scene for LHO. But he also could have kept Ruby informed when Oswald reached the Theater. This would mean that Ruby, Rowe and Oswald all three knew in advance that the destination of LHO would be the Texas Theater. LHO would think that it was a way to save his (LHO's) life. And Ruby and Rowe would think it was a way to make sure Oswald didn't actually escape and maybe hitch-hike, say, to the Mexican border and beyond. This could also have re-assured LHO that there was a plan to keep him alive and give him his day in court.
10. LHO probably did not know of the Tippit murder. The Tippit murder scene would have taken LHO off of his destination path to the Theater. But the Tippit murder scene was JUST CLOSE ENOUGH to Oswald's flight path to place him near the Tippit murder.
11. It's not clear whether the fact that LHO was kept alive for two days was a screw-up or whether it was planned so the public would have a chance to see and hear Oswald. After all, Ruby was just a few feet away from LHO the entire time he was at the Dallas Public Safety Building. Ruby was apparently on standby for this purpose the entire time. Per numerous sources like Hosty, the murder of LHO was planned by a "committee".
12. All of the witness testimony, whether from Dealey Plaza or on Oswald's escape route, all of it was grossly fabricated and coerced. None of the witness' stories had any agreement or consistency. That's why all these witnesses or other police officers could not have been all gathered in a room and told to memorize their part in a sort of play with a script and props, etc. before the JFK hit. It was done (1) on the fly or (2) drilled into the witnesses after the fact with threat of murder (implicity murder at the hands of the Dallas Police) which would intimidate anybody and any witness, beyond doubt. Because it is all phony, it doesn't do much good to try and straighten it out or to learn much of anything from it.
