2 wallets for Lee Harvey Oswald alias Alek Hidell

[Matt Grantham]

Matt....Someone has spliced frames from  Weilands video that he took in the alley behind Ballew's Texaco onto a video that was taken at the Tippit murder site in an effort to make it appear the wallet was found at the Tippit site.....

 OK Thanks Walt I can't really discern the background in the video portion you cited, but I am happy to take your word for that you and others have looked into it closely

Matt, The clip is seen several times in the video...At the 4:12 point the tail lights of a 1961 Chevy at clearly visible and the cop holding the wallet also has a S&W revolver in his hand.... By the time CSI Detective Pete Barnes arrived at the Tippit site ( Barnes dusting Tippit's car for prints)  Lee Oswald had been taken from the theater and there was no need fro a cop to have his revolver in his hand....However that was not the case at the time the cops converged on the alley behind Ballew's Texaco.   There was a distinct possibility that the fleeing man was still in the area and a cop would want his revolver ready.....

I am not sure where this leaves us If we conclude the background of the photo is altered then we we really have little evidence as to what the actual conditions of the picture, or video of Westbrook holding the wallet It is yet another piece that apparently shows alteration and therefore is inferentialy significant of a cover up Not sure  it gives us much as to where and when the actual photograph was taken

The crux of the matter is:.....The authorities were the criminals....  They framed Lee Oswald.

  Of course

  Richard sees the lack of clear facts as our problem to explain when in facts it shows there is no consistent story to deconstruct Thanks for explaining this

We see a wallet at the Tippit murder scene via film and we "hear" that a wallet was taken off of Oswald while in the police car after he is arrested in the Texas Theater. We either have 2 wallets or someone is not telling the truth ! It seems like there was so many instances of situations not adding up ,that keeps this assassination of JFK and the murder of JD Tippit to be believable. I feel like I'm running in a circle trying to figure out what is going on. It all started with a Mauser and has gone down hill ever since !!!!!

So I must theorize? How about you comment on what is seemingly a fact, a picture with Oswald's wallet in Westbrook's hand, witness testimony etc. What would it be in the order of things that I need to comment on what exactly went wrong with a plan I have knowledge. It opens the land of pure conjecture and it seems to your favorite form of fantasy land


 I kind of changed my mind and will offer a scenario That being said I am familiar with those who insist on taking to frames of examination such as yours Critics of a particular theory must provide the correct version of all events at the same time Anyway you want a shot at it, I will give you one Lets say the conspirators wanted to frame Oswald, and it was important to them to either capture him or kill him shortly after the assassination Therefore you would want a contingent reason to take him into custody, so you create the circumstances with the Tippit murder until you have him in custody Then once you have him in custody, it may look better to not use the wallet evidence because lets face it it looks a little suspicious for the suspect to seemingly leave his wallet at the scene

Why do you refer to it as Oswald's wallet?  There is no evidence to support that conclusion.  They are looking at something that appears to be a wallet or maybe Tippit's citation book.  But who it belongs too is not apparent from the picture.   To suggest that it is a confirmed "fact" that it belongs to Oswald is nonsense.   You believe the conspirators planned to leave Oswald's wallet at the Tippit murder scene and in fact did leave it but then out of the blue suddenly decided for some unknown reason that it would be suspicious for his wallet to be found there?  Why didn't they reach that conclusion before leaving it?  And they needed a reason other than assassinating a president to have him taken into custody?  And they somehow knew he would encounter and murder Tippit?  Honestly, that is ridiculous.
