UNBELIEVABLE ! ? Oswald’s lover says he didn’t shoot JFK
Just so you know, we in some sectors of the media are regularly offered interview opportunities with authors who are coming into town to promote the books they have written, which is why you may have seen, heard or read about JudyVary Baker this week. Most of us said yes to an interview because anything to do with JFK is at least curious and controversial.
Baker’s story was featured by most media agencies ( including me on 680 news ) she is trying to defend her former lover, none other than Lee Harvey Oswald.
Her book is called Me and Lee – How I came to know, love and loose Lee Harvey Oswald. It’s a complex story and so is her 600 or so page unfocused book. In a nutshell, she claims Oswald did not kill Kennedy, that he was set up by a powerful ” machine ” that included Mafia, Cia, American Military and wealthy Oil Tycoons who wanted Kennedy out of the picture.
The best explanation that I could get from her or from the book is that Oswald was a soviet spy who was able to infiltrate the CIA while trying to learn about plots to kill Cuban leader Fidel Castro. The sense she leaves is that he was in so deep with the circle of conspirators that he could not get out alive even though he knew he was being set up to take the fall for shooting Kennedy. She claims Jack Ruby was sent to Kill Oswald while he was being moved by the Dallas police because they had to shut him up.
I was skeptical before the interview and remain so after meeting her and hearing her try to tell the story. You can come to your own conclusions if you would like to hear an edited version of the interview here ;http://bit.ly/r7O7rg
She says she has been on the run for almost 40 years and is only telling the story now because she is approaching 70 yrs. of age and wants to get it out before the 5oth anniversary of the Assasination.
What really doesn’t smell right is a website ( http://www,leeandme.com ) that includes a way that you can help her out with money she needs to pay her hydro, internet and phone bills.
I believe she knew and perhaps even slept with Lee Harvey Oswald. She may even believe herself that he didn’t pull the trigger. But she was unable to convince me that her story has any more merit than any other of the wild conspiracy theories surrounding it
