Questions For Buell Wesley Frazier

[David Von Pein]

I wonder if CTers think that Linnie Mae Randle was lying here too? ....

Mr. BALL. Do you remember anything about curtain rods?
Mrs. RANDLE. Yes.
Mr. BALL. What do you remember about that?
Mrs. RANDLE. He had told Wesley--
Mr. BALL. Tell me what Wesley told you.
Mrs. RANDLE. What Wesley told me. That Lee had rode home with him to get some curtain rods from Mrs. Paine to fix up his apartment.
Mr. BALL. When did Wesley tell you that?
Mrs. RANDLE. Well, that afternoon I suppose I would have had to ask him, he wouldn't have just told me.
Mr. BALL. You mean that night?
Mrs. RANDLE. Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. After he came home?
Mrs. RANDLE. I was on my way to the store. So I probably asked him when I got back what he was doing riding home with him on Thursday afternoon.
Mr. BALL. You think that was the time that Wesley told you---
Mrs. RANDLE. Yes, sir; after I got back home.
Mr. BALL. ---that Lee had come home to get some curtain rods?
Mrs. RANDLE. Yes, I am sure he told me that.

As LNs claim that the documents for the rifle purchase provide conclusive proof that Oswald ordered, purchased and received the rifle from Kleins', let's examine that claim a little closer.

The only documents that tentatively link Oswald to the Kleins' rifle order are a photocopy of a filled out order form, in name of A. Hidell, a photocopy of an envelope and a photocopy of a money order that may or may not be linked to that particular order form. It should be noted that the only thing really linking any of these photocopies, taken from a microfilm which has since been lost, to Oswald is the opinion of FBI questioned documents experts, like Lyndal Shaneyfelt, who during Bugs' mock trial agreed with Gerry Spence that photocopies can easily be tampered with.

So, what exactly do LNs believe do these three documents conclusively prove?

For some silly reason, most CTers seem to think the original Klein's microfilm has been "lost". But it very likely was simply returned to Klein's Sporting Goods after the FBI copied the only documents it needed to copy--which were the various documents relating to the Hidell/Oswald rifle purchase. The authorities had no use at all for any of the other hundreds (or thousands) of documents on that microfilm roll. And Klein's would have almost certainly wanted it back.

Brutal fact: if Frazier lied Oswald didn't lie, game over.

Who had more of a reason to lie on 11/22/63, Otto? Buell Frazier or Lee Oswald?

If you say Frazier, I think you need to re-think a few things.

[David Von Pein]

Yes, she was most likely lying her eyes out:

Mr. BALL. Did you talk to Wesley about the fact that he had brought Lee home on this night?
Mrs. RANDLE. No, sir.

Great. More liars who want to frame Oswald.

I've gave hundreds of lifts to workmates down the years, would I take note of the package they were carrying and shape etc, very likely not, however if he carried it cupped under his armpit as BWF stated he did then that's a pretty good observation that he's never waivered on, if so and as we know the rifle couldn't be disassembled to fit then you have an issue no ?

Exactly. Frazier had no reason to suspect Oswald was up to something sinister by placing a package on the back seat of the car, so there was no reason for him to scrutinize the package or paying close attention to how Oswald was carrying it. People are looking at this whole thing as after the fact about what Frazier should have done, but when in the moment, Frazier wasn't really paying much attention.

The "only" evidence is an order form in Oswald's handwriting, the envelope it came in, payment, the use of a known alias associated with Oswald, and confirmation from Klein's that they processed the order to send a rifle to his PO Box.  LOL.  And, of course, Oswald is pictured holding a rifle in the appropriate time frame, his wife confirms he had a rifle, a rifle is found at Oswald's place of employment with the SAME serial number as the rifle sent to him by Klein's and it has Oswald's prints on it, and no other rifle is ever found or accounted for to be connected to Oswald.  But that is the "only" evidence that he have since the time machine has not been invented.
