New Orleans 

15. “During this period, Oswald began to consider returning to the Soviet Union or going to Cuba.” There is a no source cited here because it is impossible to know Oswald’s considerations. We can hypothesize but it is better to present the facts and let the reader do their own thinking. The statement is not fair because it grasps at the bounds of the imagination by assuming that the Mexico trip took place. Since that entire incident was even questioned by the Warren Commission’s own investigator  into the incident, Wesley Liebeler, the alleged Mexico trip cannot be used as basis for the conclusion that Oswald wanted to move to Russia or Cuba.

16. “The [pamphlet] trial got news media attention…” There was no trial. Oswald pled guilty to disturbing the peace and paid a $10 fine. (Warren Report vol. XXV p.117 Exhibit 2216.) The “ARREST” go media attention. Notably absent from the wikipedia paragraph is his strange relationship with FBI Agent John Lester Quigley, the first person to visit Oswald in jail.

17. “…Jim Garrison in his unsuccessful attempt to link Oswald to wealthy local businessman Clay Shaw.” His attempt was very successful. HSCA noted the credibility of Garrison’s link from Shaw to Oswald. It called the Clinton witnesses whom saw the two together. “The Committee found that the Clinton witnesses were credible and significant.” (HSCA Report page 171.)

18. Concerning Oswald and David Ferrie, “However, there is no credible evidence they had any significant contact when Oswald was a teenager.” The source cited is footnote #72, HSCA vol. IX p.103-115. While it would be correct to quote HSCA’s conclusion it is an outright lie to state this as a fact. In addition to the photo of Ferrie and Oswald together the Warren Commission took the testimony of Oswald’s high school classmates Fredrick O’ Sullivan (WC vol. VIII p. 27) and Edward Vobel (WC vol. VIII p.1) whom both testified to 15 year old Oswald and Ferrie meeting. Why would the Warren Commission be asking specifically about Ferrie if there was “no credible evidence”? There is also no mention of Ferrie’s motive for being with the teenage CAP. He would attempt to recruit teenage boys to molest. Both pro and anti conspiracy researchers including the Warren Commission have questioned Oswald’s sexuality due to his association with gay men in New Orleans.

19. “… [The Clinton witnesses] contained numerous contradictions to their testimony at the Clay Shaw trial in 1969, and to their testimony to the Committee in 1978.” Wikipedia editors hypocritically claim there is not enough space to include all facts and theories yet there is plenty of space to attack the Clinton LA witnesses again and again and again and again and again. Worse yet this statement is NOT in quotations as a conclusion of Gerald Posner as cited in Footnote #73. It is written in the article as an objective fact. If you are going to use statements from Posner then put them in quotations as HIS conclusions NOT facts.

20. “Oswald was last seen by a co-worker alone on the sixth floor of the Depository about 35 minutes before the assassination.” Another outright lie. Footnote #84 has cited the Warren Commission testimony of Charles Givens. The last witness to affirmatively see Oswald before the assassination was Carolyn Arnold in the lunch room at 12:15. (WC vol. XXII p. 635.) She was also interviewed by reporter Anthony Summers in ‘Conspiracy’ page 108. This lie speaks volumes as to Wikipedia’s intentions. They would rather mention a less significant witness simply to get in the statement of a “brown bag.”

  
In ‘Crossfire’ Jim Marrs attempts to present an even more detailed hypothesis for Oswald’s movements before the assassination but much of this is based on loose interpretations of witness statements.

It is very significant that Oswald was the ONLY employee whom did not eat their lunch outside or by a window in anticipation of the motorcade. Instead he stuck deep inside the depository in the 2nd floor lunchroom by the only accessible phone. The same room he was found in only 90 seconds after the assassination by Roy Truly and ML Baker. In ‘The Day Kennedy Was Shot’ Jim Bishop claimed Oswald salivated for 30 minutes by the sixth floor window awaiting the motorcade. This is obviously contradicted by both Carolyn Arnold and Bonnie Ray Williams whom ate his lunch by the assassination window until 12:15 or 12:20 before joining his friends on the 5th floor. His chicken bones were later found by police. (CWC)
