Alan Ford-
I invite you to have a look at my 2018 essay
Death of the Lunchroom Hoax at
https://jfkinsidejob.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/DEATH%20OF%20THE%20LUNCHROOM%20HOAX%20_Final_.pdfOn pages 79-80 you will see that Oswald described his lunchroom encounter to Captain Fritz, at his 1st interrogation, before Baker had even entered the Homicide Office to compose his affidavit. Fritz's notes are written as:
claims 2nd Floor Coke when
off came in
to 1st fl had lunch
out with Bill Shelley in
frontThey are NOT written as:
claims 2nd Floor Coke
when off came in to 1st fl
had lunch out with Bill Shelley in frontCaptain Fritz began a distinct thought on a subsequent line; there were run-on lines produced if he ran out of writing room to finish notating a thought. Since we have contemporaneous notes from Oswald's 1st interrogation, they help put Hosty's draft notes in context:
He went to 2nd
floor to get Coca Cola to eat with
lunch and returned to 1st floor to
eat lunch. Then went outside to watch
P. ParadeFritz's notes are the ones which talk about the officer encounter. That was when Oswald contended he stopped into the 2nd floor to get a Coke. Oswald contended he then went to the 1st floor to have his lunch, and then went outside to view the parade with Bill Shelley.
Oswald was attempting to establish an alibi, deflecting from his presence on the 2nd floor (where I firmly believe he was assigned, and where he was at the moment of the shots). He wanted to give the impression he'd returned to the 1st-floor domino room to eat his lunch, and he knew his interrogators didn't know that he didn't have time for that. They didn't yet know that after the 12:31-12:31:30 lunchroom encounter, he had a 12:33:00 encounter with WFAA's Pierce Allman in the front lobby. This is all described on pp. 82-83 of
Death of the Lunchroom Hoax.
To take Hosty's notes
alone and
out of context is a typical habitual example of how the lunchroom hoax zealots misinterpret the evidence in order to prop up their sorry-ass belief system.
As I noted on p. 5 of
Furthering the Lunchroom Evidence, the last portion of Baker's affidavit was composed when 6 law officers, escorting Oswald, barged into that small back room in the Homicide Office. And so the affidavit stated inaccurately that "
As we reached the third or fourth floor I saw a man walking away from the stairway." And Marvin Johnson compounded that error by mis-reporting it as "
On about the 4th floor".
But there was no question that the man Baker had encountered "walking away from the stairway" was the same man who was brought into that small back room at the Homicide Bureau.Alan, the man that Baker saw was not reported as walking
toward the stairway, was he?
A consequence of ignoring this critical encounter, subscribing to the hallucination that it was all make-believe, is that you miss what clues Oswald's behavior tells us. He flinched away once he saw the officer, and that behavior made Baker suspicious enough to pursue him. Only in the last year have I come to realize that Oswald did this intentionally, and not out of instinct, since he wanted to draw the first responder into the lunchroom, and thereby deflect the officer's attention from the descending west elevator.
This is not a lunchroom thread, and my initial fears have materialized, in that putting together a response consumed several hours of my time. When I have further time I will respond to the further erroneous allegations in your initial post, Alan. Do have a nice day, unless you've made other plans.
