Oswald co-worker no longer silent about JFK assassination role
01:56 AM CST on Sunday, November 16, 2008
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 dropout mentality seems to foster dissatisfaction with our country and capitalism.
I think this is what we have seen with this past election.
I have failed-it’s not my fault- I can blame all those rich people for my shortcomings.
Okay, that's my sermon for today.
The truth will never be proven. Evidence has been destroyed, manufactured, walked over, etc.
Check out Gerald Posner’s book “Case Closed.” It is pretty convincing in its portrayal of Oswald as a total loser who acted alone.
My speculation is that the Soviets had nothing to do with it. They were freaked out and soiled their britches when the news came out.
If it were a conspiracy (i.e., more than one person involved), then scores maybe hundreds of people would have been involved. Too many, I think, to keep it a secret after all these years.
Occam’s razor says LHO did it alone and Buell is mistaken. He unwittingly transported the murder weapon to the book depository that day.
That seems most likely to me, but who knows?
There’s a new program on the Discovery Channel tonight at 9 p.m. eastern time. It’s called JFK: Inside the Target Car. According to the description, forensic experts uncover new evidence surrounding the assassination.
You can count on one constant with all these "theorists." NONE of them know from Shinola about guns, shooting, ranges, bullet behaviors or ballistics.
Any Marine who has been to Dealy Plaza will tell you that we are talking Very Short Range and that once a bullet hits something it's going to VEER in some unpredictable fashion. These two facts explain all the contortions that conspiracy whackos use to invent ghostly killers on grassy knolls.
The Discovery channel did another program to prove it happened as the Warren Commission stated. They started out with 4 rifles, 2 of which a gunsmith got to function. Then they obtained the services of a professional shooter and practiced until he made the shots. They then concluded it happened as stated. I was so mad I fired off a letter which I’m sure was disregarded or discarded. I won’t watch either.
The hatred and loathing of marines to the commies was all pervasive at that time. The memory of the slaughter and torture of fellow Marines by the commies in Korea was still fresh. If Oswald was a true commie, he would have been lynched; beaten to a pulp: or harrassed out of the corps.
It is hard to believe the Corps ordered his officers to protect and leave him alone. The marines all of a sudden in Oswald's case becomes as pink as the ACLU? Not buying it.
“You are right and there were tattlers.”
WERE being the key word....

Actually, Kruschev was no dummy. I heard a story about him and Kennedy; but I can’t remember it; but I do remember it made sense. I can tell you Kruschev did not lose as has been reported. I will try to dig it up.
Who?
There will always be a strong possiblity he acted alone; but I don’t think he did. Like you say who knows?
The CIA stories have always been out there.
I believe he did it too. I was a sophomore in highschool in '63, and for many years I read quite a few books on the assassination and Oswald. During all this time, I don't ever recall anything being said about the FBI searching for, or finding the brown paper that the rifle was allegedly wrapped in. Maybe they did search for it after they were first made aware of it, but it's possible that the garbage had already been dumped or incinerated. Since it was a book depository, it's possible that they used the same brown paper for packing and shipping, so trying to find the exact paper Oswald used would have been like looking for a needle in a haystack. It just surprises me that no one else saw Oswald walk into the building that day with a long package wrapped in brown paper. Maybe they were questioned, and I just don't remember it.
And what was in it for Ruby to offset the expected “suicide by cop”?
The CIA is not a who, it’s a what.
Again, which HUMAN has tattled?
DU said George Bush and Republicans did it.
I don't know much about the assembly of weapons, but I had wondered about that too. After reading this article, and Frazier's insistence that the package was small enough to fit under the arm, I thought that maybe Oswald had the handgun, and perhaps the scope and magazine in the package that day, and that possibly he'd smuggled in the rest of the rifle in the days prior to the assassination. Just speculation.
