O. H. LEE

[Howard Gee]

And yet his not being a social butterfly after the motorcade somehow constitutes evidence of his guilt.  Go figure.

You're right.

The butterfly flapped his unsocial widdle wings just as fast as he could and flew out of the depoitory, no interest whatsoever in what just happened -- and because his widdle wings got tired hopped on a bus and a taxi bcz he was in a huge rush to get to the movies where he could watch Steve McQueen in complete seclusion.

Unfortunately, bcz the butterfly looked funny he was beaten and arrested.

Got it.

Saint Patsy tells Fritz he's renting a room at 1026 Beckley.

Fritz orders some men to go search Saint Patsy's room.

The cops arrive and tell Earlene Roberts and Mrs. Johnson they're looking for Lee Harvey Oswald's room.

Johnson and Roberts tell the officers there is no such boarder.

It's not until Saint Patsy's mug is shown on TV that they realize the boarder that registered as O. H. LEE is actually Lee Harvey Oswald, the man the whose room the cops want to search.

Upon seeing Saint Patsy on TV they exclaim 'There's O.H. LEE, no wonder we didn't know who Lee Oswald was', and direct the cops to his room.

Or so the story goes.

Questions: At some point in time Oswald must have had some conversation, no matter how perfunctory, with Johnson, Roberts and the other boarders.

Did they not know his first name ?

Was he just known to them as Mr. Lee ?

Is there testimony regarding this question ?

The story about Roberts and Johnson not knowing O H LEE was actually Lee Oswald until they saw him on on TV rings true but being unaware of his real first name doesn't.

Supposedly Fritz asked Saint Patsy why Johnson knew him as O. H. LEE, and Oswald responded that Johnson made a mistake.

Your first two sentences are a false representation of the events. It's easy to claim someone is guilty when the evidence is ignored or misrepresented.

"His rifle".  LOL.

Yep, his rifle.

Your laughter will never change that fact.

Some of the things Oswald did were well known espionage techniques.

When and where did he learn Spycraft?

It?s entirely possible that he pretended to be a spy in his spare time. I?m not dismissing it. It?s equally possible that Oswald was actually a spy.

Plenty of spy movies in those Cold War days. Not hard to glean a few techniques. Books on the subject as well.

Where did you come up with 'equally' possible? 55 years and still no supported evidence of Oswald being involved with anyone but his alter ego and Marina's laughter at his self-importance, including parading around the back yard in his black ops-wannabe getup.

People who know far more about National Security than you and I have opinionated that Oswald didn?t act alone. Those include:

- Father of the Warren Commission, Lyndon Johnson
- Robert Kennedy
- Sen. John Kerry

Plus a few former CIA agents like Brian Latell and Bob Baer

Those are just a few names that come to mind without researching

As far as spycraft, maybe he learned it in the Marines where he learned Russian. That?s the most likely place.

Or maybe he learned a few things living in the USSR.

Oy yoy yoy. The only way you ever "discuss" the facts and evidence is through rhetoric.

Then you don't understand what rhetoric is.  It's not rhetoric to point out that the claims you make about the evidence aren't supported by the actual evidence.

Howard makes another one of his stunning contributions to the pursuit of knowledge.

Steve McQueen?  You can't even get that right.

Everything Howard says is a false representation of the events.
