Oswald co-worker no longer silent about JFK assassination role

LEWISVILLE – Buell Frazier wants to tell it like it is – or was – on a very important day in U.S. history 45 years ago in Dallas. The quiet, thoughtful man of 64 is not as well-known as some of the others who skyrocketed to fame or infamy in November 1963. But Mr. Frazier played a defining, if unintentional, role in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
He drove Lee Harvey Oswald to work that fateful Nov. 22.
And the Warren Commission, the investigative committee appointed to explain all aspects of Mr. Kennedy's death, claimed that Oswald carried his cheap mail-order rifle to work with him in Mr. Frazier's car.
That put Mr. Frazier in the spotlight immediately after Oswald was captured – and long afterward as a mourning nation sought to find an explanation to the tragedy.
With but a few exceptions, he has kept almost 4 ½ decades of angst, frustration, fear and occasionally even fury bottled up.
All Mr. Frazier did was offer a friendly gesture to a man he hardly knew.
In mid-September 1963, Mr. Frazier, 19, moved to Irving to live with his sister, Linnie Mae Randle, her husband and three children.
He slept on his sister's couch, drove a clunker Chevy and was pleased to be earning $1.25 an hour, then the minimum wage, at the Texas School Book Depository.
As a teenager in Huntsville, Mr. Frazier had deftly ...

about to take the test shots on the Discovery Channel.
Yes, it’s intriguing.
This was proven to be false many years ago by the physicist Luis Alvarez. Essentially the large volume of escaping brain matter from the exit wound acted as a rocket that pushed the head backwards.
For the rest of us truthers, they are using the official autopsy photos and trying to re-inact the actual wounds (as reported by the commission).
Hopefully, Bugliosi wrote the book before he went bats.
There’s so much info: some say Kennedy wore a back brace and that influences the situation.
Also, it’s the ol’ shot a watermelon from the back and see how it’d act.
Simple experiments can be knocking over a jug of water with a rock and seeing how that acts. It’s just not how it is perceptible to the eye, but I do remain skeptical.
I think they are incorrect about the shot also killing Jackie. When I look at the film, she is on the side and front of the president as though she is trying to help him with his throat by looking at the wound. If the bullet followed a straight trajectory, I don’t she how she would have been hit.
The splatter pattern suggests that the fatal head shot came from the TSD or at least above and behind.
up next, two people who saw the blood in the car before the Sec Ser cleaned the car will look at the test blood splatter and try to decide if it’s similar to what they saw.
I think there is a question brought up ever so often about the front windshield too and if it was immediately replaced. I haven’t seen this mentioned.
Still, this has been a good show.

I have LBJ’s chile recipe somewhere -
I don’t believe the official story. The best staged TV show I saw was the one on the Discovery or History Channel that traced Oswald’s travels after the shooting. They took the longest paths and showed he could have still done everything that was attributed to him after the shooting.
I agree with you Bill_C.
There were 2 (or three) shooters.
The two people who saw the splatter in the car before it was cleaned say that the test of the rear shot closely duplicates the actual splatter.
Yes, that would be of interest to you. Chili cookoffs are big in Texas, the hotter the better and you would love that.
I disagree with the statement that Jackie would have been killed if the shot came from the knoll.
Don't know enough about forensics and firearms to comment on the rest.
I listened to the audio book, read by him and he sounded normal.
Tomorrow night on PBS American Experience: Oswald’s Ghost.

You know I love great chile
I believe LBJ’s reciped specified keeping pork cubes 3/4” to 1” and beef cubes at 3/4”
