Mr. Oswald, meanwhile, re-enters the building. His Plan A (leave Dealey Plaza at once) has been trumped by the shocking news Mr. Shelley has told him about Pres. Kennedy. He now needs to take care of something else of an evidentiary nature that is inside the building.
A few minutes later, Mr. Oswald is cleared at the front door by Mr. Truly--------------who knows (via Mr. Shelley?) that Mr. Oswald has been told to go meet a contact at the Texas Theatre.
After a decent interval of time, Mr. Truly 'notices' that Mr. Oswald is 'missing'. And he feeds the name of Mr. Oswald-----------his fellow good-faith TSBD facilitator on the false-flag operation------------to the cops. He does this not because he is evil but because he is acting under instruction.
Neither Mr. Truly, Mr. Shelley nor Mr. Oswald came to work this morning with the remotest notion that Pres. Kennedy's life would be in actual danger. They were no more and no less than good-faith patriotic assistants in 'Conspiracy A'------------the
White House-sanctioned anti-Communist false-flag operation.
What made Mr. Oswald uniquely vulnerable to damage-limitation scapegoating once the false-flag incident became an actual assassination was the fact that he-------------
alone of all the TSBD participants------------had agreed in advance to be blamed post hoc as the TSBD inside man involved in the pro-Castro missed-shots incident. Not even Mr. Oswald's 'pro-Castro' confederates on the sixth floor (the external 'floor-laying crew') would be so vulnerable: they would be out of the building before the cops got near the sixth floor. (In the event, Officer Marion Baker's quick entry complicated matters a little: he met one of that team by the rear stairs------Tan Jacket Man.)
Mr. Oswald was not set up in advance by ANYONE as a shooter, let alone as a lone nut shooter. Mr. Oswald was ASSIGNED the role of confederate in 'Conspiracy A', not the role of gunman. And 'Conspiracy A' was DESIGNED to look like a conspiracy. That was its whole point.
The ludicrous notion of LHO Acting Alone was ENTIRELY the invention of the 'investigation'. And the tone of that 'investigation' was set very early on by Deputy Attorney General,
and JFK ultra-loyalist, Mr. Nicholas Katzenbach:
"The public must be satisfied that Oswald was the assassin; that he did not have confederates who are still at large; and that the evidence was such that he would have been convicted at trial."Those who had designed something that would look like a pro-Castro provocation conspiracy, now-----------in the wake of their non-lethal false-flag operation having been trumped by an actual assassination-----------simply HAD to push the opposite line: 'Oswald and Oswald alone'.
