Friends, there is no mystery whatsoever about where the encounter between Mr Oswald, Officer Baker and Mr Truly took place: front entrance of the building.
Before the speed of Officer Baker's rush to the entrance was known, the DPD were happily telling the world about it!
"As an officer rushed into the building": makes it clear as day that this is not several minutes after the shots rang out! This is Officer Baker's rush into the building. Duh!
Mr James Jarman (as he would tell the HSCA) had this selfsame scene described to him by Mr Billy Lovelady, who did
not leave the steps as he told the WC he did---------------------
"Well, there was a billy love lady standing out there, he was on the steps, see... And, Oswald was coming out the door and he (= Mr Lovelady!) said the police had stopped Oswald and sent him back in the building, billy love lady said that Mr. Tru(l)y told the policeman that Oswald was alright, that he worked there, so Oswald walked on down the stairs."As soon as it became clear (later that evening) that having the LHO-cop encounter at the front entrance in fact gave Mr Oswald an alibi, a new------------and wholly fictional------------story was written: the Second Floor Lunchroom Encounter.
In order to make that story stick, Mr Oswald's own truthful claim about his visit to that lunchroom BEFORE the assassination--------------
---------------was magically (and
posthumously) turned into a 'confirmation' that an encounter with a cop had taken place in that lunchroom AFTER the assassination.
Yes, these were sick doggies.
Only--------------and it's kinda funny when you think about it----------------Mr. Harry Holmes was out of the loop about how crucial it was to
pretend that Mr Oswald had confirmed the fiction:
Mr. BELIN. By the way, where did this policeman stop him when he was coming down the stairs at the Book Depository on the day of the shooting?
Mr. HOLMES. He said it was in the vestibule.
Mr. BELIN. He said he was in the vestibule?
Mr. HOLMES. Or approaching the door to the vestibule. He was just coming, apparently, and I have never been in there myself. Apparently there is two sets of doors, and he had come out to this front part.
Mr. BELIN. Did he state it was on what floor?
Mr. HOLMES. First floor. The front entrance to the first floor."The front entrance to the first floor": these words require endless parsing only in the myopic eyes of idi*ts and propagandists who think that the words "Then went outside to watch the P. parade" require endless parsing!
The facts are not at all complicated:
1. Mr Oswald visited the second floor lunchroom before the P. parade (and was noticed there by Ms Carolyn Arnold)
2. Mr Oswald went outside to watch the P. parade (not to see the assassination aftermath or commotion!)
3. Mr Oswald was asked by a cop running into the building if he worked there (---------->i.e. could he guide him to the nearest stairs?)Mr Oswald had a watertight alibi, and Captain Fritz and Co. knew it. Their solution: bury the alibi, by whatever means necessary.
Thankfully, we now know beyond any reasonable doubt that this scene captured by Mr Darnell-------------
-------------is just seconds away from the real LHO-Baker-Truly encounter!
