Let's talk about the curtain rod story:


Mr Rankin: Do you know whether your husband carried any package with him when he left the house on November 22nd?

Mrs Oswald: I think that he had a package with his lunch. But a small package.

According to Captain Will Fritz, who interrogated Oswald, “He said he didn’t have any kind of a package but his lunch. He said he had his lunch and that is all he had …. He said, ‘No. I didn’t carry anything but my lunch’” (Warren Commission Hearings, vol.4, pp.218.


Harry Holmes, a postal inspector and FBI informer, also questioned Oswald about the package he had been carrying:

Asked him if he brought a sack out when he got in the car with this young fellow that hauled him and he said, “Yes.”
“What was in the sack?”
“Well, my lunch.”
“What size sack did you have?”
He said, “Oh, I don’t know what size sack. You don’t always get a sack that fits your sandwiches. It might be a big sack.”
“Was it a long sack?”
“Well, it could have been.”
“What did you do with it?”
“Carried it in my lap.”
“You didn’t put it over in the back seat?”
“No.” He said he wouldn’t have done that.
“Well, someone said the fellow that hauled you said you had a long package which you said was curtain rods you were taking to somebody at work and you laid it over on the back seat.”
He said, “Well, they was just mistaken. That must have been some other time he picked me up.”

Oswald denied the curtain rod story vociferously. Nobody at the TSBD reported seeing Oswald come in with any such package. There was no support of the story from Marina Oswald or Ruth Paine. To say that there is reasonable doubt about the veracity of the curtain rod story is a gross understatement. Oswald was not-guilty of bringing anything remotely like curtain rods, let alone a rifle, into the TSBD on 11/22/63. He carried his lunch and nothing else. 

I am calling on OIC senior member Larry Rivera to cover this in his speech on Buell Frazier at the OIC JFK Truth Conference.
