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 ...

The feat has since actually been duplicated - Discovery Channel ran a show on it, and their marksman was easily able to duplicate the shots with an identical carbine and ammo from the same lot.
Will see it on December 1st when it is replayed. Missed it last night.
Ping.
Ummm, you need to read the Warren report. The part about the altered route is in there.
Thanks for all the informative links here!
Excellent...
Ah, yes!
Ruby & Oswald ... mah favorite rock group! :)
I never knew of Oswald's commie connections until this thread, and I am a middle-aged Freeper. I also thought the Wiki source was a reasonable place to start.
And just to play with your head, have you ever heard of the Old Corps trick of working the bolt with your thumb and forefinger, while pulling the trigger with your little finger in one smooth motion? The Germans during WW1 thought they had run into a thousand machine guns the first time they encountered the 5th Marines. I wonder if Oswald knew that trick? I learned it from an Old China Marine, back in the 50's.
Yes, it was strange how he immediately tried to dismiss it, ignoring all the references that went along with the article. Also that he used the word 'supposed' in reference to Oswald's communist leanings.
He wrote: "You can dig a little deeper than wiki, ya know. Anyone who has done any reading at all about the subject know about Oswald’s supposed Commie persona."
Anyway, did you see the Wall Street Journal piece I followed up with?
Here's a direct link (post #18):

It is a given that CSI would never fiddle with the facts to make a story line. Just like how ALL guns on TV are "registered" to suspects.
“And just to play with your head,”
Actually, no you’re not playing with my “head”. You’ve been programed to believe a silly notion that you’ll never know who killed JFK, it’s too complicated, too mysterious, too much conflicting information.
Actually all that is a lie. It’s really pretty simple, the last two shots were fired a split second apart, this is where you START:

The title, UNDERSTANDING THE KENNEDY ASSASSINATION starts with the last two shots. You’ve NEVER been shown this before because the “experts” reject this scenario because one of their many assumptions is incorrect.
Because the “experts” have been suckered into believing the impossible, you believe it too. To understand, you’ve got to start thinking YOURSELF.
The last two shots were obviously from different directions so who cares how fast a marine can shoot?
WHO faked the evidence? How loaded up the Warren Commission with suckers who didn’t fight the insiders?
That’s your man, and there’s only one who could have led this, only one who could have screwed up the investigation to reach the silly conclusions they did.
This lie is finally going to die.
Oddly, what blows calling Oswald a Communist Sympathizer is that while Oswald was back in the USSR in 1961: someone under Oswald’s name was purchasing trucks under his name in New Orleans ... well one can read it below. There is a lot of testimony not only with the Warren Commission but also the House Committee on assassination back in the 1970s. I’m not sure where the below quote comes from but I’ve heard it before. I’ve heard J. Edgar Hoover was already notified of Oswald’s name back then, years before the assassination.
“A third type of Oswald impersonation efforts dates back as far as 1961, when Oswald was in the Soviet Union and his identity was being *sheep-dipped* in absentia in the United States. We know that for whatever reason, someone tried to link Oswald’s name with the purchase trucks from a New Orleans Ford dealer on behalf of an anti-Castro group, the Friends of Democratic Cuba, prior to the Bay of Pigs in early 1961.”- http://jfklancer.com/Page4.html
Thought you might find this interesting.
Thanks, I’m going to go through it!
That’s a very interesting video.
So, who was it?
Knowing certain people doesn't make him a mob member. He knew far more Dallas police officers than he did mobsters. That doesn't make him a police officer either.
Ruby was not a mobster. He was not a member of any criminal organization. He was not right in the head.
Do you realize that when the Warren Commission interviewed him he believed that Jews were being killed in the jail basement? That he denied being part of any conspiracy, but was worried that people would take their anger out on the Jews because he was jewish?
Look at the details of the Oswald shooting. There is a trail of movements. There is no way Ruby could have planned it in advance. Read up on it.
And he left the dog in the car when he went into the basement where he shot Oswald. He never would have done that if he'd planned it in advance, which he couldn't possibly have done anyway because of timing issues.
