Oswald co-worker no longer silent about JFK assassination role

01:56 AM CST on Sunday, November 16, 2008

By HUGH AYNESWORTH / Special Contributor to The Dallas Morning News

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.

Offering a ride

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 ...

I have been to Dealey Plaza and I have stood in the window next to the one Oswald shot from on the sixth floor of the TSBD, now the 6th floor museum.

So have I. The first thought that popped into my mind when I stood at the window and looked down was what an easy shot it would have been. I have read the Warren Report Summary, and Posner's and Bugliosi's books also, and believe that Oswald acted alone. But I know that's probably not the majority opinion on FR.

Can you address the possibility that Connely is bending down to avoid any further shots?

Connally was ducking downward just like the two Secret Service agents in the front seat which you can clearly see. The difference is Connally is struck in the back at Z325 by the bullet that missed JFK’s head as he was knocked backwards out of the way by the shot at Z313.

When I presented this scenario to Dr. Cyril Wecht a couple of years ago, I called it Z319 which is the point Connally starts to move forward. Actually this is a complex motion, the car is slowing down (we can see this clearly in the NIX film but not the Zapruder film) and the three men are reacting to a LOUD shot from in front of the limo. The difference is the last shot hits Connally in the back.

LBJ got incredibly richer off the Vietnam War. He was wealthy to start with and was incredibly corrupt. He was a major shareholder in Brown & Root that built most bases in Nam and SE Asia for the war. $$$$ B&R became part of Halliburton and was recently spun off as KBR.

I think LBJ and the Kennedys viewed Vietnam as a easy way to get even richer. Nixon never made anything off the war because he was just about broke after he was forced out of office.

Creepy John Kerry got a deal for his family for an exclusive for commercial real estate in Vietnam.

LBJ at the end of his term was the wealthiest Pres with the exception of maybe George Washington. I think GW inflation adjusted was a billionaire.

Was this normal in Texas in the 1960s? You could shoot at people as long as you missed??? weird.

Yes, it is strange. Almost as strange as Ayers and Dohrn getting away with what they did.

Interesting information. I was never interested in politics until more recent years so never studied up on all of that.

Being a Texan, I do know that I disliked Johnson and considered him a mean spirited man. I based some of that on his treatment of Lady Bird, who most Texans love.

I have been to Johnson City and seen his ranch years ago. Peach country in that area.

The ignorance of many posters on this thread so far is pathetic. Stop obsessing over commie Oswald. He may or may not have fired any shots that day. He was set up as the scapegoat.

I was a 17-year-old college freshman on 11/22/63. JFK's murder affected me, & everyone in our generation, deeply. It also changed the course of history. LBJ immediately ramped up the Vietnam war. Our culture exploded.

I have read many of the books, followed all the arguments & hearings, and studied the research & massive documentation. I am persuaded beyond a reasonable doubt that David S. Lifton's Best Evidence (1990), plus Robert J. Groden's The Killing of a President (1993), plus this Web site provide the best explanation.

Conclusion:

"The murder of John F. Kennedy was a conspiracy.

James Earl Files, in association with Charles Nicoletti and John Rosselli, were sent to Dallas by Sam Giancana -- head of the Chicago mob -- and a known CIA covert operative, David Atlee Phillips.

The CIA and Mafia had full knowledge of the hit and CIA covert operatives were actively involved.

John Rosselli was flown into Dallas on a CIA supported Military Air Transport flight co-piloted by Robert 'Tosh' Plumlee.

Charles Nicoletti was driven into Dallas from the Grace Ranch in Arizona by Chauncey Holt.

David Atlee Phillips of the CIA orchestrated Oswald and possibly an unknown third party who was to have eliminated Oswald but who killed Officer J.D. Tippit instead. This man's identity is unknown."

Nicoletti & Files fired (from different locations) the two near-simultaneous fatal head shots. Marshall Caifano was the likely shooter from the South Knoll (throat wound). At least 8 shots were fired. See the Dealey Plaza page at the linked site.

---

CIA set Oswald up to take the blame. Oswald was the perfect guy for them to manipulate.

The real horror: CIA/mafia (intertwined in the early 60's) pulled this coup. CIA then forged the intact back-of-skull images that came out of the Bethesda autopsy. As outrageous as this sounds, that is the only way to reconcile the accurate eyewitness accounts -- from 16 medical professionals in Dallas -- of JFK's massive occipital (back-of-head) brain-blasted-out gaping wound with the wildly different, obviously fraudulent images accepted by the Warren Commission.

Read the two books cited above. Read/view all of the Web site linked above. Stop listening to disinformation propaganda garbage spewed by Big Media.

I get the impression that LBJ was Stalin with a ten gallon hat. He was also really liberal with the Great Society. I pretty much think he was involved in having JFK whacked. Sort of like the Obama/Kennedy fight with the Clintons over the Dem Party.

He really got the Vietnam War going by lying about Gulf of Tonkin. Mismanaged it, had that ass McNamara rush the M-16 into production which got a lot of boys killed.

Nixon and General Creighton Abrams could have probably salvaged it but it was too late by then.

Most Americans do not know the Aussies fought in Nam using the FAL FN rifle using the heavier .308 cartridge. The NVA and Viet Cong tended to avoid the Aussies.

Based on what? You’re assuming someone else’s evidence is “truth.”

Based on earlier investigations I’ve done, I found that to get an answer understood by others that seems at first to be out in left field you have to have several diverse forms of information saying the same thing.

In the video I start with a SS man who said Kennedy grabbed his neck (which we see after the Limo emerges from behind the sign in the Z film) and then that’s followed by two shots, bang-bang.

I show that the Z film has JFK’s head shot followed a split second later by Connally going forward RAPIDLY then falling over into Nellie’s lap.

I then show two other witnesses who say the last two shots were: YOU guessed it: BANG-BANG.

Of those three witnesses, the story they told was discounted by two of them (Lee Bowers, told he wasn’t an expert, the newspaper reporter: her story was pulled). And later Nellie said the Warren Commission argued with her when she contended the first bullet she was aware of that hit JFK was NOT the bullet that hit JOhn Connally in the back.

You’ll notice the “official original” sure has a lot of jitter in it that I first show in the YOUTUBE film clip. The other more stabilized version I next show CLEARLY shows John Connally blasted forward when the bullet hits him in the back at Z325.

Take a look at the stabilized version of the Z film, you’ll clearly see Connally going FORWARD, hitting the back of the seat and then falling over into Nellie’s lap. She didn’t pull him forward, it’s NOW clear (at least to me) the bullet to his back knocked him forward and then he’s pulled into Nellie’s lap.

“TRUTH” is the consistency between various inputs. When you have consistency AND it passes the smell test, you have the RIGHT ANSWER!

You can spot them a mile away. Those who think the govt owes them a living. It’s scary to see how many people feel that way.

If I may ad and I think I have the story correct.

The mob had delivered the WVA primary to JFK through the UMW and Teamster connections when Humphrey was the strong favorite. This provided the momentum for Kennedy to get the nomination. Additionally, they worked for JFK in Chicago, "getting out the vote."

When the Kennedy's went into office, RFK started hitting the teamsters and the mafia hard. RFK had Marcello swept off the street in New Orleans after losing the deportation hearing. They dumped him in the hills of Guatemala without a wallet of any money.

In late 1961, Giancana sent Roselli and another guy to talked to Joseph Kennedy. They asked him to remind his boys that they had helped him get elected. Joe responded that he would have a talk with them when they got home for Christmas. Before Christmas Joe had a stroke and could not converse with anyone.

Well, I think that’s an interesting take on things.
I recall, however, that Oswald’s one-man pro-Cuba (”hands off Cuba”) New Orleans activity and his time in the Soviet Union were covered constantly by the msm for several years after the assassination.
From what I have read, it seems Oswald was not a doctrinaire communist; he lacked sufficient intellect to understand political science, even in a rudimentary sense. (I can’t cite a source for it, but I recall reading that Oswald’s IQ was in the low 90s.)
Rather, I think he was just a malcontent with illusions of grandeur.
Although neither clinically psychotic nor legally insane, he was one crazy deluded dude.
That does not necessarily make him a leftist.
Like McVeigh, Oswald was afflicted with a profoundly righteous egomaniacal certitude.

May I add. When Showtime ran the biopic of Joe Bonanno, there was an interview with the mob boss at the end of the flick. He said that Giancana had Kennedy hit and that one of the shooters was in the sewer grate opening.

I think I've seen the ground level shooter debunked before and they haven't covered it in the Discovery show tonight yet.
