Rick O'Shay in Dallas Part Two

On Thursday, the night before the assassination, Oswald showed up unexpectedly at Paine's house. He always spent weekdays living in a boarding house in Dallas, to be closer to work and because Paine was not comfortable with him living in her home. It was a little, two-bedroom place, and Oswald's surly demeanor was hard to take for long stretches.

Is this the same surly Oswald who fixed doors and kept kids amused for hours on end? Shit, Maybe there were seven Oswalds who visited the Princess Marina being held captive by Witchiepoo. You just never know which Oswald ya gonna get. There was Surly, Playful, Lee the Laborer, Punchy, Slappy, Jock, and Pennywise. 

When he arrived at the house, Marina thought he had come to make amends for an argument they had over the phone several days earlier. Instead, Oswald went to bed early, around 9 p.m. Soon after, Paine noticed that a light had been left on in her garage.

Well, he did have  a pretty full schedule the next day, so needed a good night's sleep.

Get up.
Make coffee.
Make lunch.
Find bag for lunch.
Scare Buell's mother.
Talk nonstop about the weather all the way to work.
Have a debrief with his CIA handler, Bill Shelley.
Assemble his sub.
Build sniper's nest.
Shoot prez.
Make sure he makes his 2nd floor appointment on time.
Go to Oak Cliff and kill Officer Dibble  Tippit
Go to shoe store. Look scared.
Go to Texas Theatre. Sit next to everyone.
Get arrested. 
Smirk a lot.

What she did not know _ and Marina did _ was that Oswald had for weeks kept a rifle, bundled inside a blanket, in the corner of the garage. What she did not know _ and Marina did _ is that Oswald had used it to try to shoot a retired Army general in Dallas barely six months before.

Holy snappin' arseholes. So is she claiming Oswald put the rifle in there? 

Isn't Oswald lucky? Snuck the rifle into the garage without being seen, wrapped it in brown paper wrapping in the garage without being seen, carried it to a neighbor's place without being seen on the way, snuck the package inside the TSBD without being seen, hid it so that it was not discovered for a third time (the first having once buried it), assembled it without any tools and without being seen, used it without being seen. 

Careful planning or dumb luck? Either way, there was none of either evident AFTER the assassination.

Had she (Witchiepoo) any inkling of that, Oswald would have been derailed, and most likely forgotten in history as a political malcontent. But Marina, fearful of her husband, terrified by his warnings that she could be deported, kept that knowledge from her host.

If he is forgotten in history, how could it be remembered as anything, let alone a "political malcontent"? He btw, was astute enough to spot those exact inferences, during his interrogations and flatly denied them.

And Marina being "fearlful" of Lee is just risible, as is the claim that he threatened her with deportation. 

Friday afternoon, Paine heard the jolting news on her television that shots had been fired at the president outside the book depository. She looked for Marina. "She was outside hanging up diapers, so I went out and told her that," Paine says.

The mention of the book depository gave Marina a sinking feeling. Paine learned later that Marina slipped into the garage, where she was relieved to see the rolled-up blanket in the corner.

Boy, there sure is a lot of unobserved slipping into and out of that garage for such a small house.

Isnt there though such traffic in that garage lee's storage, woodshop, crib part storage facility, sea bag containment area, JFK case lost and found, and a plethora like library of incriminating images and notes.

I thought Marina leaves light on so the crib parts will come out to play.
The blanket tied in string shakes and shimmys till all the saw dust is off.
I mean that blanket is empty of those sought after rods the next day.... and I bet the crib is put together too... Thanks to Lee.

Great stuff Greg
